Question:
Which type would you guys like to see next time for my top five?
Option 1: Grass
votes: 8
Option 2: Electric
votes: 8
HEYYO. The Shiny Emboar, back again for another top five. Last week, fire beat grass by two votes.
Currently, I'm sure you can all guess who is number one on this list, but that won't stop me.
I sure feel sorry for Blaziken. It was the original fire fighting starter...

...then me and Infernape waltzed in and hogged all the glory.
Anyway, let's begin.
5. Infernape
(http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs18/f/2007/129/4/7/_All_Fired_Up__Infernape_by_endless_whispers.png)
Ah, Infernape. Stuff the haters, Infernape is a powerhouse. It is classed under "Glass Cannons" where it lands powerful hits but falls to pieces if it gets hit itself, meaning you need a Focus Sash to survive any sort of powerful move. But other than it's frail defense stats, Infernape is flat out awesomeness. Design? Karate monkey with flames as a hairdo. So much win. Movepool? Learns moves from tons of different types, including Posychic, Dark, Poison and Grass. Huge speed stat? Check. Not much will outmatch this thing for speed, as Infernape is the fastest Non-Legendary fire type. Oh, and that Infernape vs Electivire battle in the anime? Pure epicness.
4: Chandelure
(http://th01.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2012/224/8/c/chandelure_by_beverii-d5aseog.png)
It is a chandelier that sucks out and burns the soul of anything that comes near. That is creepy and freakishly awesome at the same time. Chandelure is one of those Pokémon that I love for so many reasons. A) It is the proud Pokémon in posession of one of the subway bosses. B) It has an epic shiny C) It has stupidly high Special Attack. You do NOT want to get hit by a fire blast or any form of special attack off this guy.
3: Houndoom
(http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs43/i/2009/127/7/6/Houndoom__The_Infernal_Heat_by_taravalentine.jpg)
So much awesome in just one fire dog from the depths of hell. Houndoom is just pure win. It is not only the only Dark/Fire type, but it also has great abilities, trustworthy stats, a great design and a pretty beast movepool. This thing looks like the devil's dog, just more evil. I have a shiny one in Black that currently has a kill count of 1739, and counting. Face my Houndoom in battle, and you may as well give up and share your Pokemon the pain.
2: Arcanine
(http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/1/14898/1422829-arcanine.jpg)
MORE FIRE DOGS. Arcanine looks like it should be a police dog or something. Then again, it is in the anime under the ownership of Officer Jenny, so I guess it already is. Arcanine looks awesome and is awesome. Arcanine has a great movepool, nice stats, a great design and shiny and is just an all round star of the battlefield. Nothing stands in Arcanine's way, but there is something keeping it from being first...
1: Emboar (I mean, duh).
(http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2011/080/c/2/emboar_by_avisha-d3c5r4o.jpg)
Hey look, its me!
Honestly, I don't understand why more people don't choose Tepig. Despite it's rather abismal speed, this Pokémon is purely designed for bulk and some pretty beast moves. Fun bit of trivia, Emboar is the only fire type that can learn a damaging water type move, that being Scald. Emboar has a great design (Fire beard, how can you not like that?), an epic shiny, a stupidly large movepool, great attack stats and some serious reliability in battle. Pure power and destruction whilst being able to take a few his as well? Emboar's your man.
Well that just about wraps things up for this week. Post your personal top five down below and vote for what type you want to see next time, either Grass or Electric.
Emboar out.
1. MegaBlaziken
2. Blaziken
Everything else: who cares ;)
Last: Derpape
There is no poll!
Right, I can't believe I never actually bothered asking this, why do you hate on Infernape so much?
I agree with Arcanine, and I would agree with Tepig, but the others I'm not keen on
I noticed that the Pokémon on this list are all fully evolved. If I were to say mine, Cyndaquil and Vulpix would definitely be on there. :)

Yeah, basically every Pokemon on these lists will be. I'm not really a big fan of the cute stuff being the basic stages of the evolution line, I just look for something with a great design and huge capability in battles.
Ah. Well then, about your list, I definitely agree with Chandelure.
1. A clone of Blaziken
2. Is completely inferior to blaziken
3. Is a complete abomination
4. Is only OU, compared to blaziken's uber
5. It's ugly
That's only a few reasons why I hate infernape.
Read Richard and Blaziken's articles on both of them, and that's just the beginning of why blaziken is always better.

1. A clone of Blaziken
its completely different, only shares a typing
2. Is completely inferior to blaziken
Not true, it's a common OU lead. It's not a sweeper as such, and is superior to Blaziken in its role.
3. Is a complete abomination
Thats opinion
4. Is only OU, compared to blaziken's uber
By smogon, smogon aren't anything official, and there tiers aren't nitendos
5. It's ugly
is this not just 3?
Comments are bold

1. It isn't a clone just because its the same type as blaziken and came a gen after. If Drapion a Clone of Skuntank? No. Is Staraptor a clone of Pidgeot? No.
2. Inferior. Before speed boost was introduced, Blaziken was almost pointless. Pretend we're still on gen four. Infernape would Earthquake that thing before it could say 'KFB'.
3. Abomination: And a chicken with fire coming out of its hands and a deformed face isn't?
4. OU. True fact, but of course Blaziken is only there due to Speed Boost. And ubers isn't neccasarily a good thing, as it can't be used in normal battles in the metagame. However Infernape is a fast, physical sweeper that doesn't have to wait for Speed boost to kick in before it reaches high speed.
5. Looks ugly. ITS A FREAKING MONKEY WITH FIRE AS HAIR. THAT looks pretty beast, but a fire handed chicken with a deformed face area isn't, frankly,
He only started showing his hate toward Infernape after SI2000 challenged him.
Why, Draghost? Did Infernape a sweep and he went into a hissy fit?
Well, I could rant about embore. And no, I've hated him for a long time.
Newsflash for ShinyBlaziken. A pig and a monkey aren't clones of a chicken.
Ignoring the previous comment here's the rest of my list:
3. Ninetales
4. Typhlosion
5. Chandelure
I agree that Reshiram is pretty beast, but I'm leaving legendaries out of my top fives. Instead, once I've done all seventeen (or eighteen if necessary) types, I'll do a top five list of my favorite legendaries. I'll probably do one of my top five least favorite Pokemon at some point too. Don't worry, Blaziken won't be on it. I don't like him, but I don't hate him.
Please do Poison-type. :)

I'll get to poison types at some point.
I never clicked with Reshiram, or Zekrom, they're a little too simplistic.
Blaziken had better not be in your bottom 5. At least I hope not. Compared to derpape and embore, Blaziken has a mega evolution, there's another reason.
A) Don't worry, he isn't in the bottom five. I know Pokemon a lot worse than that,
B) Only six (if you include Mewthree) mega evos have been announced. Chances are, there are more to come.
Just regarding opinions... Hey, hey. If shinylucario's opinion is that Infernape is ugly (one which I happen to agree with but that's not the point), he's quite free to think that, and it's a perfectly valid reason to dislike a Pokemon. *Shrug* You asked why he disliked Infernape and you got it. It's just an opinion.
Well, either way, not the point.
Whaaat, nobody mentioned Ninetales yet? D8 I love that Pokemon! It has some brilliant movepool options, such as Energy Ball and Confuse Ray, and is just the best troll ever. Plus, just /look/ at that shiny. <3 It was my first ever favourite Pokemon, and it forever will be.
Some other fire types missing out on the love - Rapidash and Flareon. I mean, metagamewise neither of them are very useful, but Rapidash absolutely murders ingame with its attack stat. That thing is a beast.
Overall fire is definitely one of my favourite types, so I had to come over in here and drop my two cents~

You'll get to poison types at some point?
You'll get to poison types at some
Poison Point?
Badum tss.
Let's see... it's gonna be hard to rank 'em, but these are pretty much my five most favorite:
5. Magmar. Probably my first favorite Fire-type, but it didn't really start to grow on me until the one I raised in SoulSilver. (I think Magmortar is okay, too, just not its biggest fan)
4. Pansear. The first shiny I ever hatched from an egg, and one of my favorite shinies to date besides. Other than that, I just kind of think it's cute.
3. Torkoal. The first Fire Pokemon that really "clicked" enough with me for it to be on my final team (Dang, a lot of firsts on this list, huh?) Back in Sapphire, it was pretty much the only obtainable Pokemon that could learn Heat Wave by level-up, and to this day Heat Wave is one of my favorite moves.
2. Lampent. Cooler than Litwick and cuter than Chandelure. I'd say I want one as a pet, but keeping it from absorbing people's souls would be a daunting task...
1. Darmanitan. Planned to try one out in White 2 since before I got it, and it didn't disappoint. A real powerhouse that really helped my White 2 team be really awesome (said team is pretty much Unexpected Bros: The Team)
As for the poll that doesn't exist yet, maybe you should do Grass next, seeing as how you've done Water and Fire already. Might as well round out the Starter types!
Whoops, actually forgot a do a poll lol.
Nice selection
My top 5
5. Heatmor
4. Moltres
3. Volcarona
2. Heatran
1. Arcanine

Volcarona was gonna be on this list, but having a 4x weakness to one of the usually weakest types ever (being rock) puts it in 6th.
Being weak to rock is really annoying for him (especially because of stealth rock :( ) but I think that his design, backstory and sheer power to burn through everything makes up for it. :police:
Quote from: The Shiny Emboar on August 10, 2013, 00:29fun bit of trivia, Emboar is the only fire type that can learn a damaging water type move
Fire Arceus can learn Surf :tongue2:
And most fire types learn HP, which could be water type :tongue2:
But I have a feeling you were discounting those...
As for my top 5, it's probably:
5. Tepig
4. Heatran
3. Camerupt
2. Combusken
1. Victini!!! But as legendaries aren't allowed, Typhlosion.
Well, here goes, minus explanations.

This is in terms of shiny forms, so I don't care if you hate me for picking Chimchar, I like its' shiny form. Look at Ho-Oh though :D
Edit: There.
There's nothing there.
The images aren't showing.

It'd be something like this:
5. Quilava
4. Charmander
3. Ninetales
2. Typhlosion
1. Cyndaquil
Fire isn't one of my favourite types and since I'm not a Hoenn/Sinnoh person nothing from there is in the list, Unova's Fire Types were a bit.. Different so thy didn't make the list either because they didn't seem to be as majestic as Fire Types before them but since the Typhlosion line is pretty much my favourite line all round they all made theist along with the glorious Ninetales and cute little Charmander! :-)
1. Typhlosion
2. Arcanine
3. Camerupt
4. Charmeleon
5. Magmar
My favs. Typhlosion is a bamf
The votes are currently tied. I will make the next top five tomorrow, and if the votes haven't changed, I'll flip a coin to decide.
There was a tie in the poll.I broke it.I guess you make electric discussion next!
Right, a day has passed and both sides have gotten one vote each, making it another tie. I'm gonna do electric due to the fact that Electric was voted for and broke the tie first.
old topic but whatever :P
1.arcanine
2.rapidash
3.typhlosion
4. ho oh
5. volcarona (i like saying its name ;D )
