Team Azure FTW!: On overused species in PMD »

teamazure:

From “Rules of the IRC”:

“It’s mandatory that your team have a Eevee, Zorua, Deino, Sneasel and/or Riolu.”

I know they’re just poking fun, and maybe it’s because I’ve been considering an Eevee myself, but I’m not sure if this is such a bad thing? Yes there are lots of Eevee/Zorua/Riolu etc. but…

People complaining about “overused” Pokemon is something that’s always bothered me. The only reason they get used so much is because people like them, so why not? I think it’s fun to see all the different ways that people draw, write, and use the same Pokemon. 

The whole “you need to be original so pick unpopular Pokemon” idea is such a dumb one, and it hits both sides. My teams are made up of Pokemon that I happen to really like (I’m just a sucker for crabs and pretty-much any Grass type, carnivorous plants especially, haha), but I often get comments along the lines of, “Wow, I love your team! So nice to finally see some unpopular Pokemon!” And that’s not a compliment. How much these Pokemon turns up on teams had nothing to do with my picking them, and yet I get the feeling that lots of people think I chose them just because no one else used them. But I want them instead to feel my undying love for these guys. ;__; 

There are a lot of great teams out there that use popular Pokemon, and a lot of bad ones that use unpopular Pokemon. I have no problem with seeing any number of any Pokemon, I just want to see them written well and it seems like that should be all that matters.

  8. scaper12123 answered: those are clearly the most popular pokemon out there. I would think that some would just get them to join the bandwagon. pretty sad, really.
