How GOOD was Primeape ACTUALLY? - History of Primeape in Competitive Pokemon (Gens 1-7)

[@Shattered_Starstorm]

Funny how Primape went from having a small niche in Ubers, to getting BANNED to Ubers as Annihilape years later.

[@EthanW56]

I know I love it ❤️

[@alyssarichardson2544]

I'm not buying a switch until it's under 50 dollaridoos and I maintain most new pokes are retarded but Annihilape is a FANTASTIC design, Primeape has seemed like a mid-tier evo since gen 4, definitely gen 5. *Why the hell do they not give Zangoose Extreme Speed?* It's a mongoose, those animals that hunt snakes using their *literal extreme speed..* I'd actually buy a switch if they did that.

Almost all Pokémon not belonging to the meta were covered in one minute, so it means nothing.

[@symawi312]

the gen 1 part is always short for pokemon not in the meta, it was extremely unbalanced

I would be more worried about the 15 minute runtime for the whole video, not a good sign for a lot of explaining.

[@joemomma2218]

Most pokemon weren't meta in gen 1. Nidoking didn't get much coverage in his video until gen 4 and got most its coverage gen 5. Dragonite got almost nothing for gen 1, but after that, the coverage for it was much longer than a minute. There's also Clef. Not good gen 1, but once gen 4, VGC, and gen 6 come around, hella stuff to talk about.
