[–]WTFICantFapToThis 8 points9 points ago

Yup. Most underrated Competitive pokemon IMO. I am glad that they are in abundance.

[–]tyler123321 4 points5 points ago

Tentacruel is a boss online.

[–]bioluhgy 8 points9 points ago

I saw a Swords Dance Tentacruel perform an entire sweep. It was amazing.

[–]fznatla[S] 4 points5 points ago

Sunkern sweep for the win

[–]bioluhgy 1 point2 points ago

Hey, I remember the guy that posted that video! I had him added on Skype for a while.

[–]tyler123321 -1 points0 points ago

It's amazing the sweeps people can pull off

[–]fznatla[S] -1 points0 points ago

Yea Pimpnite's a monster hahaha

[–]Nabooruu 1 point2 points ago

You can fap to this, just keep on trying. You'll get it champ

[–]nightpooll 34 points35 points ago

What if, in another universe, there is pokemon on a planet, but they are wishing for animals...

[–]lexfa 28 points29 points ago

Instead of Pokémon, they watch Animal Planet.

[–]tyler123321 7 points8 points ago

Does that mean they have a Pokemon Planet show?

[–]TheRiff -1 points0 points ago

Are you kidding? Every time I turn on a TV in Pokemon it's a show about pokemon!

Well, except for Stand By Me and The Wizard of Oz.

[–]xamnus 1 point2 points ago

wat

[–]TheRiff 0 points1 point ago

TV's in the Pokemon games often give info about pokemon via a pokemon show, except for ones that reference the above two movies.

[–]NotAtAllSarcastic 0 points1 point ago

Ancient Animals?

[–]iliekmudkipz -1 points0 points ago

Whoa!

[–]MalHeartsNutmeg 19 points20 points ago

To me, /r/pokemon will always just be that

place where we could have had interesting Pokemon discussions.

But instead was all like, nah man,

have this meme that gets posted once a week.

[–]iliekmudkipz 3 points4 points ago

r/truegaming was created for serious gaming discussion while r/gaming is reserved for memes. How about we do the same too?

[–]430beatle 5 points6 points ago

I hate that you're being downvoted, cause you're right. I don't remember how many times I've seen this already.

[–]Lanuria 1 point2 points ago

For a while, I thought I was on r/atheism.

I'm sure it gets posted there even more.

[–]fznatla[S] -1 points0 points ago

It was reposted on there about 3 hours after I posted it... got more upvotes too >.>

[–]TheCian97 0 points1 point ago

Yours was a repost too.

[–]fznatla[S] 0 points1 point ago

[–]TheCian97 0 points1 point ago

Repostception.

[–]fznatla[S] 0 points1 point ago

ಠ_ಠ

[–]Nabooruu 1 point2 points ago

I've seen it almost 6 times lol. knowthatfeel.jpg

[–]TheAftermathPhil 20 points21 points ago

He didn't understand that Pokemon can kill Humans too, like if a Charizard blew loads of fire in my face like he did to ash well then I would die and not just be crispy like they depict in the anime series

[–]YouListening 12 points13 points ago

HE COULD MAKE US INVINCIBLE.

[–]fznatla[S] 8 points9 points ago

Maybe pokemon also give us immunity to fire, poison, and electricity!

[–]brixunited 2 points3 points ago

So we're ground type? Well, at least the immunity to electricity and resistance to the others I think.

[–]pwnetah 4 points5 points ago

Steel/Ground with Flash Fire?

[–]fznatla[S] 4 points5 points ago

Makes sense... We can't learn to fly, we have machines to smash rocks, and people can have incredible strength!

[–]Stormageddon222 0 points1 point ago

According to the Bible we're made out of dirt, so yeah, ground type makes sense.

[–]lexfa 5 points6 points ago

I don't know man, lions can be pretty deadly too.

[–]roudy_beard 6 points7 points ago

TIL? Pokemon > Malaria

[–]shutup_shinji 5 points6 points ago

Poison type, no evolutions. Kind of a jerk, really.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points ago

Population control, I'd imagine.

[–]whitey-ofwgkta 2 points3 points ago

If I could I'd most likly have a zigzaoon or poochyena.

[–]JoeBoarder 1 point2 points ago

It would be cool to have a houndour

[–]fznatla[S] 3 points4 points ago

I think having a lapras would be awesome! Or a Starmie!

[–]tyler123321 1 point2 points ago

Swim partner!

[–]Eveco 2 points3 points ago

Of course, instead of PETA, we'd have PETP. And that would fucking suck. Because they're pricks.

[–]DarkRend 0 points1 point ago

Team Plasma!

[–]Eveco 0 points1 point ago

Forgot about them.

Well damn.

[–]SlyMuffinTheSeventh 12 points13 points ago

A repost. ;-;

[–]Condawg 4 points5 points ago

I've never seen it. Thanks for sharing a link on a link sharing site, OP!

[–]NELyon 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, too bad there's no site made to share links to cool stuff we find online, like some sort of user-generated link aggregator. OH WAIT. :)

[–]Ace_of_Clubs 1 point2 points ago

... I Hate you kid..... =D

[–]fznatla[S] 1 point2 points ago

Hey now be nice ;)

[–]Ace_of_Clubs 0 points1 point ago

you know I love you brother haha, but you are very lucky

[–]kraken_kitty 1 point2 points ago

. . . WHY?! IT COULD HAVE BEEN BEAUTIFUL D'X

[–]Ace_of_Clubs 1 point2 points ago

Since there are infinite universes, one of them God was like: "Pokemon, alright, lets do this" and in another he might have given Brock eyes

[–]ktspaz 1 point2 points ago

Using that logic, God gave somebody the idea for pokemon. Inception from the heavens.

[–]Lanuria 0 points1 point ago

[–]Autistic_Buiscit 1 point2 points ago

WHY CAN'T YOU PEOPLE SEE REPOSTS? THIS HAS 2000 UPVOTES! SERIOUSLY?

[–]Battlesheep 6 points7 points ago

Can we trade in our god and get Arceus?

[–]beperkyalways 1 point2 points ago

But what happens when someone captures him in a Master Ball?

[–]IAmAtomato 0 points1 point ago

That is soomething I always wondered.. Why does capturing deity Pokémon (namely the Sinnoh legendaries) not fuck up the entirety oof the woorld? I mean.. they hold all the shit in place...

[–]Nintenbro10000 3 points4 points ago

I can never see him the same way again.

[–]Waffle842 1 point2 points ago

To me God is the man who could have made Original Content real...but then he was like "nah man, Reposts."

[–]VicariousWolf 4 points5 points ago

Because there is no God and we're here by chance, and malaria is just a virus/bacteria trying to survive just like all other life and happens to harm living things due to it being essentially parasitic; that's why.

[–]Shartify 1 point2 points ago

I find it sad that you've got 22 downvotes for stating what most likely is the truth.

[–]Frumtastic -1 points0 points ago

Yay for the truth!! :D

[–]tyler123321 -1 points0 points ago

Fuck to the yeah!

[–]theoriginalpanda 0 points1 point ago

My friends always telling that joke

[–]HumanistGeek 0 points1 point ago

It's called dog fighting and cock fighting.

[–]I_LIKE_GIRAFFE_BONER 0 points1 point ago

I could have a Girafarig!

[–]mogaly 0 points1 point ago

They're in your head. That's real. Everything is in your head.

[–]Canipa09 0 points1 point ago

We'd never appreciate it though. :(

[–]DownpoursForAll 0 points1 point ago

Humans invented both.

[–]RivenPhalanx 0 points1 point ago

You know, we do have an abundance of wildlife, so the only things keeping us from having real pokemon are limited technology and animal cruelty laws.

[–]PreachHysteria 0 points1 point ago

what if he has and we just haven't found a way to capture animals yet?

[–]TheCian97 0 points1 point ago

[–]Z00M 0 points1 point ago

LOL.

[–]FeSki 0 points1 point ago

whoa its not gods fault nobody has come up with a pokeball to enslave animals and force them to fight like a Michael Vick Noah ark party.

[–]fznatla[S] 0 points1 point ago

Better start throwing berries at animals and see if something happens...

[–]VisibleCunt -1 points0 points ago

I'd rather die from the poisoning of an arbok :(

[–]veritas96 -1 points0 points ago

REPOST

[–]fznatla[S] 0 points1 point ago

That's been posted and addressed two other times on this. See what happens when you don't look before you post? Now you, yourself, are reposting.

[–]veritas96 0 points1 point ago

Yo dawg.... You win

[–]Pendit76 -4 points-3 points ago

Not sure you know this. Not everyone would be happy if Pokemon were real. And God kinda has bigger problems to deal with. Thanks.

[–]fznatla[S] 2 points3 points ago

Well he's doing a hell of a job dealing with them, what with warring nations, corrupt leaders, and world polution.

[–]Phenomena0 -3 points-2 points ago

what with warring nations, corrupt leaders, and world polution.

Wouldn't that kinda defeat the purpose of free will if he step in and solved all those problems.

[–]tyler123321 3 points4 points ago

What's the point of your so called God then?

[–]fznatla[S] -1 points0 points ago

So then with all of our free will, God doesn't have bigger problems to deal with... Cue the dancing Pokemon!

[–]Phenomena0 -2 points-1 points ago

It's sure as hell not to fix all the mistakes we brought upon ourselves.

[–]Panchlora 2 points3 points ago

What about slavery, AIDs, crack babies, and starving children? If God is real is he is either impotent or is a dick.

[–]fznatla[S] 1 point2 points ago

yea but this is r/pokemon not r/fixmistakes... invalid argument, pokemon always wins

[–]rynvie 1 point2 points ago

Pretty sure if God wanted to deal with problems he would have dealt with them already. But that would defeat the point of giving people their own choice on how to live their lives.

[–]brixunited 3 points4 points ago

Who created satan? BAM! :P

[–]jaykruer 3 points4 points ago

Well, I'm an atheist, but Christians believe Satan was originally an angel (apparently one of the ones that God trusted the most) and came to envy God so he attempted to start an uprising against God, which followed with his defeat and banishment to Hell.

[–]brixunited 1 point2 points ago

I'm familiar with the concept. I was only poking fun though. I thought I was going to start up a religious battle with that comment though. That's why I included the :P. You can't be angry when you see a :P. :P

[–]Pendit76 0 points1 point ago

Christian here. God created everything--including all diseases.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points ago

Not necessarily. This certainly isn't the place for a theological debate, but from a Christian perspective, God didn't create everything. He didn't create sin for example.

[–]fznatla[S] 3 points4 points ago

upvote for you <(o.o<)

[–]icyeh 0 points1 point ago

LMAO! Oh, of course. Leave.
