Sorry Aipom, you were a cool Pokemon… but you have been replaced by an equally adorable one that also produces space heating turds!

    Darumaka?! Hah! In my day we didn't have any of these stupid-looking 'My faeces is so hot that people used to put them down their shirts in strict violation of every hygene code ever created' pokemon! Back in the great era of Generation I we used to turn to pokemon like Pikachu or Jigglypuff when we wanted charming!

    You youngsters today can keep your Darumakas! I'll be over here appreciating the first generation of pokemon!

    Now where did I put my walking stick and glasses. All those new trainers aren't going to teach themselves how to capture pokemon.

  2. TheArrived on August 17th, 2011 5:26 pm

    Oh Darumaka, you're just irreplaceable. Wait, whats that over there? I MUST HAVE IT!!

  3. Marzen on August 17th, 2011 5:33 pm

    Sorry trainer, I'm happy for ya, and I'mma let you finish

    But Mankey is the best monkey Pokemon of all time! OF ALL TIME!

    Infernape would like a word with you.

    Come at me bro.

  6. Howlingwolf214 on August 17th, 2011 5:46 pm

    Just wait 'til Mankey evolves into Primeape.

    Battle of the Apes.

    £40 on Primeape.

  7. CriticalQuit on August 17th, 2011 5:47 pm

    OH GOD KILL IT WITH FIRE

    OR THE ERASER TOOL

  8. CriticalQuit on August 17th, 2011 5:48 pm

    Sure it has the adorable face, but everything else about and, plus its evolutions in entirety, are damn ugly.

    Fire fans were sorely disappointed this generation.

  9. RemielChibus on August 17th, 2011 5:51 pm

    Gotta catch them all.

    Only care about six.

  10. MasqueNoMercy on August 17th, 2011 5:52 pm

    Fire's not super effective, you fool, use psychic! PSYCHIC!

    SOMEONE GET A VICTINI IN HERE STAT!

  16. Ovahdrive on August 17th, 2011 6:55 pm

    I prefer Ambipom. Technician'd Fakeout + U-Turn = Ambi-troll

  17. MasterLuigi452 on August 17th, 2011 6:56 pm

    Hang on.
    I better grab some popcorn…

  18. MasterLuigi452 on August 17th, 2011 6:57 pm

    Sorry, but there is NOOOOOOOOOO way for me to find my replacement of Typlosion and Gengar.
    They are that epic to be replaced.

  19. PortalMan118 on August 17th, 2011 7:08 pm

    They always leave the coolest pokemon behind… :(

  20. Vabolo on August 17th, 2011 7:12 pm

    Yes, Generation 1 is full of charming Pokémon, such as

    <img src="http://groudon05.g.r.pic.centerblog.net/a7g2ketu.gif&quot; /img>

    or

    <img src="http://guidesmedia.ign.com/guides/9846/images/muk.gif&quot; /img>

  21. Vabolo on August 17th, 2011 7:20 pm

    Not as disappointed as when Diamond and Pearl came out, though.

    (Ponyta was the only wild Fire-type available before having the National Pokédex; they rectified this by adding wild Houndour, Magmar and Eevee in Platinum)

  22. Vabolo on August 17th, 2011 7:24 pm

    VABOLO threw a hat at the wild MANKEY!

    Wild MANKEY was distracted by the hat!

    Wild Mankey earned the acheivement: Ghastly Gibus Grab!

  23. Vabolo on August 17th, 2011 7:25 pm

    Can't let you stay in my party, *throwsAipominBox*

  24. Bobomberman on August 17th, 2011 7:36 pm

    Don't forget about the charming Mr. Popo-err Jynx

    As far as Pokemon of epic proportions go, and to all you new generation haters

  27. BTSnoogans on August 17th, 2011 8:38 pm

    Ambipom kept the cute Aipom face. Darumaka's evolved form (sorry don't have Black or White yet. Don't know its name) has gone from cute face to rape face.

  28. Drjolt on August 17th, 2011 8:41 pm

    Well i don't know, i love my pikachu so mu- "MY RATTA IS BETTER THAN YOURS"

  29. SonicsmyName on August 17th, 2011 8:47 pm

    That would be Darmanitan ;)
    Just think Darmani from Ocarina of Time.

  31. TCC on August 17th, 2011 8:50 pm

    Haunter is always the best. Always.

    HE'S GOT FREAKING FLOATY HANDS BRO! :U

  32. Leo E. on August 17th, 2011 9:02 pm

    Mr. Popo: "I fap to this."

    Don't forget about Forever Cubone

  35. CriticalQuit on August 17th, 2011 9:34 pm

    Yeah. Infernape was okay, but otherwise there's been a fire type dearth since Gen III.

  36. Ovahdrive on August 17th, 2011 9:38 pm
  37. Ovahdrive on August 17th, 2011 9:42 pm

    Awww, cute lil' flower dragon, I name you Edward. Edward Dragon Hands….

    OH GOD ITS EATING MY SOUL

  38. Jimmy on August 17th, 2011 10:00 pm

    Nintendo, my only question for you is: Y U NO MAKE DOLPHIN BASED POKEMON?!?

  39. Xolopitli on August 17th, 2011 10:09 pm

    Gotta love those derpy faces.

  40. KZN02 on August 17th, 2011 11:26 pm

    Landshark VS King Gidorah, the battle of the century!

  41. KZN02 on August 17th, 2011 11:27 pm

    That would be Lanturn, partly.

  42. Red on August 17th, 2011 11:30 pm

    But… but my Feebas is just so adorable! Look at him:
    <img src="http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/4/4b/349Feebas.png&quot; alt="" />

  43. Ovahdrive on August 17th, 2011 11:51 pm

    No love for Magmortar?

    If you're talking about pure fire types, I sort of agree, gen V was lacking. However these guys:
    <img src="http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/6/65/609Chandelure.png"&gt;
    <img src="http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/6/6b/637Volcarona.png"&gt;
    Are freaking beasts.

  44. MasterLuigi452 on August 17th, 2011 11:55 pm

    Damn it. Now you just made me remember Rayman…

  45. MasterLuigi452 on August 17th, 2011 11:57 pm

    IMO, fire type was rare in early part of the game in Gen 2.

  46. TheQueenofSouls(DT) on August 17th, 2011 11:58 pm

    "… maggots."

  47. MeatyMcSausage on August 18th, 2011 12:15 am

    And so began Aipom's downward spiral into drug abuse and alcoholism, in which he had to but that tail/hand to more…unique purposes.

  48. Red on August 18th, 2011 12:16 am

    Or lemons

  49. tinynewtman on August 18th, 2011 12:35 am

    Time for…
    *puts on sunglasses*
    A pokemon face-off.

    YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

  50. Seanhl on August 18th, 2011 1:18 am

    I dunno, an infernape is stupid fast and hard hitting, if it lands the first hit, well, primeape stew anybody?

  51. CriticalQuit on August 18th, 2011 1:22 am

    It might just be my personal dislike of ghost and bug types. The two types I never use.

  52. Seanhl on August 18th, 2011 1:23 am

    my team incorporates every gen game so far, dragonite, espeon, shaymin, lucario, blaziken, and zoroark

  53. CriticalQuit on August 18th, 2011 1:23 am

    What about the growlithe/vulpix you could find in the route before Ecruteak?

  54. MasterLuigi452 on August 18th, 2011 1:57 am

    That's after you beat Gym 3…

  55. A_R_ on August 18th, 2011 1:58 am

    Or mountains.
    SMASH IT WITH A MOUNTAIN!

  56. Xyxoz on August 18th, 2011 2:05 am

    How about we mix Typhlosion and Haunter then, huh?
    <img src="http://api.ning.com/files/MT2QYq8EYveMxe4fdjpikQmJgFccAkjZ3zYOmz8fpRWstyT5YkTxg1IeXuPLAnfvPYtPYgR*7VIDHdQa9IFxEw__/chandelure_by_sterlingcynderd3btdtu.jpg"&gt;

    Highest special attack of all Non-Legendaries anyone?

  57. A_R_ on August 18th, 2011 2:05 am

    You can find growlithe sooner. I think…

  58. TCC on August 18th, 2011 2:25 am

    also Litwick is FREAKING ADORABLE! :O

  59. GdMBuRn on August 18th, 2011 7:33 am

    My Darumaka is in the TOP PERCENTAGE of Darumaka

  60. Fhantinabox on August 18th, 2011 8:39 am

    My Ratata would have a word with you.. And he will win that discussion?

    Because he's the top percentage of all pokémon!

  61. CriticalQuit on August 18th, 2011 8:49 am

    And you couldn't find Growlithe/Vulpix until outside Celadon, after Gym 3.

    And you couldn't find Numel or Slugma until that cave north of Mauville. After Gym 3.

    Notice a pattern here?

  62. Vabolo on August 18th, 2011 9:09 am

    The cutest anglerfish. Which is really hard to say, considering that they look like this:

    <img src="http://inglestic.wikispaces.com/file/view/deep-sea-anglerfish.jpg/139579323/deep-sea-anglerfish.jpg&quot; img="">

    Also, to quote wikipedia:

    "At birth, male ceratioids are already equipped with extremely well developed olfactory organs that detect scents in the water. The male ceratioid lives solely to find and mate with a female. They are significantly smaller than a female angler fish, and may have trouble finding food in the deep sea. Furthermore, the growth of the alimentary canals of some males becomes stunted, preventing them from feeding. These features necessitate his quickly finding a female anglerfish to prevent death. The sensitive olfactory organs help the male to detect the pheromones that signal the proximity of a female anglerfish. When he finds a female, he bites into her skin, and releases an enzyme that digests the skin of his mouth and her body, fusing the pair down to the blood-vessel level. The male then slowly atrophies, first losing his digestive organs, then his brain, heart, and eyes, and ends as nothing more than a pair of gonads, which release sperm in response to hormones in the female's bloodstream indicating egg release. This extreme sexual dimorphism ensures that, when the female is ready to spawn, she has a mate immediately available. Multiple males can be incorporated into a single female."

  63. Vabolo on August 18th, 2011 9:17 am

    No, Sudowoodo only blocks the part that leads to route 37 and Violet City, so you can technically access route 36, and therefore, capture a wild growlithe, but only in the Gold and Crystal (and later, Heartgold) versions. In Silver and SoulSilver, you only get Vulpix, which is cuter, but a lot less powerful.

  64. Vabolo on August 18th, 2011 9:18 am

    You couldn't get Magmortar before obtaining the national Pokédex in Diamond and Pearl. :V

  65. Vabolo on August 18th, 2011 9:19 am

    Why is it that ragefaces always get the most points?

  66. Vabolo on August 18th, 2011 9:23 am

    <img src="http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/thumb/8/8f/612Haxorus.png/150px-612Haxorus.png&quot; /img>

    He hits a whole truckload harder than Dragonite, and outspeeds Ho-Oh.

    This motherfucker's name is Haxorus. That's right. Someone said that this dinosaur is so beast, it has to use hax. LOOK AT THOSE MOTHERFUCKING AXES ON ITS FACE!

    Just…Don't teach him Surf.

  67. jyndtactica on August 18th, 2011 11:58 am

    Yeah there were only about 6 good ones in Gen 5. T-T

  71. MasterLuigi452 on August 18th, 2011 12:37 pm

    As the Crystal owner, I tried to get Growlithe before heading to second gym, but no Growlithe.
    True story.

  72. TehVortex on August 18th, 2011 12:37 pm

    Sorry, but I gotta shout to my home boy Gastly. The 'mon that can learn all elemental punches despite lacking the limbs needed to use them…

    LIKE. A. BOSS.

  73. TCC on August 18th, 2011 12:44 pm

    needs MOAR Dragonite

  74. penguindude42 on August 18th, 2011 2:28 pm

    Caution: Haxorus using Surf may result in the following: all men in a 20 mile radius
    feeling inadequate, all women in a 20 mile radius orgasming, death, dismemberment, death, death, almost certain death, and more death.

  75. penguindude42 on August 18th, 2011 2:36 pm

    >implying Black wasn't born in Isshu

    OP, I am dissappoint.

  76. ProfessorLuigi on August 18th, 2011 3:35 pm

    I KNEW IT! IT'S A CONSPIRACY!

  77. ProfessorLuigi on August 18th, 2011 3:36 pm

    SHUT UP JOEY! GEEEZ!

  78. Vabolo on August 18th, 2011 5:18 pm

    SEE WHAT I MEAN?

  79. Vabolo on August 18th, 2011 5:19 pm

    Not with 60 base Special Attack.

  80. Vabolo on August 18th, 2011 5:21 pm
  81. Xyxoz on August 18th, 2011 5:21 pm

    Milotic, Heracross, Mamoswine, Ferrothorn, Chandelure, Dragonite.

  82. Vabolo on August 18th, 2011 5:24 pm

    >Implying that the main character involved in this strip is Black from the games and not the image the artist gave herself as a Pokémon trainer

    penguindude42, I am disappoint.

  83. Ovahdrive on August 18th, 2011 5:43 pm

    It was more in reference to him saying there weren't any good post Gen III Fire types.

  84. BTSnoogans on August 18th, 2011 5:53 pm

    Awwww… Now he looks sad. What is he sad about?

  85. Jimmy on August 18th, 2011 6:05 pm

    Nope. Got to be legit.

  86. The_AntiVillain on August 18th, 2011 6:23 pm

    having less than half his HP

  87. TheInsaneWombat on August 18th, 2011 6:45 pm

    No. Aipom is far superior to Darumaka. However, Ambipom is not as awesome as Daru's evo.

    No jokes this time.

  88. Red on August 18th, 2011 8:08 pm

    Screw over villains

    Get Money

  89. Red on August 18th, 2011 8:09 pm

    That's why it wouldn't evolve!!!

  90. Vabolo on August 18th, 2011 9:23 pm

    That's what I said. ;D

  91. Trolldad on August 19th, 2011 2:00 am

    Wait a second,
    Is that trainer White in Black's outfit?

  92. VoiceFromCorner on August 21st, 2011 4:04 pm

    Considering Pokemons latest track record of original names, I would expect Nintendo would call it Dolphinface.

  93. SonicsmyName on August 30th, 2011 3:44 am

    …. That Duskull has two eyes! RUN FOR THE HILLS!
