There's also the trope of Red and Blue Oni, which deals with a pair of characters expressing opposite traits. The Red Oni character is commonly viewed as more aggressive or abrasive, willing to take action without thinking. The Blue Oni character is commonly viewed as more calm or strategic, preferring to wait it out before taking action. A good example of this would be classic duos like Ichigo Kurosaki and Uryu Ishida in Bleach.

I honestly see where they're coming from to be honest and this is coming from a fan of Pokemon who also happens to be Christian. You have weird creatures that can do basically magic and follow your commands can very easily be connected to stories of people who can summon demons to do their bidding and all that crap. There's also some Pokemon such as the Abra line (and especially Alakazam) that do contain satanic elements in their design and I have found some very creepy fan art created by people who also seem to have picked up on that and brought it out to the surface. Don't even get me started on the fact that a 10 year old is supposed to be able to capture "god" and keep him in their back pocket at their back and call. Don't get me wrong I do still mostly enjoy this series, and i get why you would too but those parts definitely put a sour taste in my mouth personally. Tl;DR A closer look at the series and you can see where people are coming from even with the "harmless" cartoony exterior. It doesn't mean your worshipping Satan just because you play (again, coming from a fan whose also Christian) but it's not as far fetched as you would think.

Sawk and Throh don't deserve the hate. do you know how OP Sawk is in competitive. just have a level 1 Sawk with the sturdy ability make it hold berry juice. give it the moves toxic and pain split then your set. basically the only way to defeat it is entry hazards and toxic or will o wisp or multi hit moves.

[@doozsromhacks]

Oh wow only entry hazards and status? The most popular things in 6v6 singles? Wow! Sounds like a garbage gimmick

@@doozsromhacks dude if your on showdown then yeah. but if your just casually playing online your probally going to be up against 9 year olds who have only attacking moves and don't know wtf they're doing so you just need to know who to use it against.

@@jeffhirsh5722 LMFAO nice then It also works for like any sturdy mon so yeah

[@jeffhirsh5722]

@@doozsromhacks no it's much more efficient because it's not one use it's infinite use. like a level 1 focus sash rattata can take out one opponent while a level 1 Sawk will take out all 6

[@doozsromhacks]

@@jeffhirsh5722 I'm not talking about Fear. I'm saying any pokemon with Sturdy pain split can do it. I believe Aron is the go-to choice, since it's immune to Sand damage.

Lockstin seriously looking at the camera while making Sawk, going "I'm not doing anything weird."

Not gonna lie, when Lockstin said "gen 4 monstrosities" I was doing something and stopped in my tracks and had to regain my composure

Yikes, Arlo isn't gonna be happy about that comment. Pretty sure that comparison is a bit racist.

"it's not because a design is resourced and inspired that it's a good one" definitely applies to a lot of pokemons. for me, it mostly happened in gen 8
