The only thing that annoys me about Emboar is that he's yet another Fire/Fighting type. But I do like his design and he learns some interesting moves.
Emboar is cool. Ever see its official art? Yeah...I just dont like how its Fire/Fighting again...at least this time they expanded upon the pun by teaching it Boiling Water. He he.I've heard Emboar get a lot of hate, but does anyone like him? I really do, he's my favorite (fully evolved) starter this gen.
What? Youre crazy.I hope the next gen also goes Fire/Fighting.

True. Heatran, despite being 4X weak to ground, is an absolute beast. I think if emboar were fire/steel like heatran, he could be much better. Also, I think his speed and sp.attack need to switch...
I never got the hate for Fire/Fighting. What made Charizard suck was its weakness to stealth rock. At least the part fighting helps neutralizes it.
I hope the next gen also goes Fire/Fighting.
Only problem with Emboar is, all his best attacks deal recoil damage. Even with the High HP, he'll quickly go down.I've heard Emboar get a lot of hate, but does anyone like him? I really do, he's my favorite (fully evolved) starter this gen.
Daikenki is just a lackluster option for a sweeper 'cause it gets overshadowed by Feraligatr (as a physical sweeper, even with Megahorn and Shell Blade) and Empoleon (as a special sweeper, with limited options for attacks, worse defensive type, not Agility support, etc.).
But if you Daikenki as a Mix Sweeper, then you're going onto more unique land. Daikenki's attack stats are pretty balanced at 100 attack and 108 special attack, and it learns moves that are hardly distributed by water types like Megahorn and Grass Knot. Something like Aqua Jet/Megahorn/GrassKnot/HydroPump with a life orb can rip apart walls and can decently revenge kill with Aqua jet.

I hate Emboar because it's fat, it has a tiny head, its stat distribution isn't good at all, and it recycles the Fire/Fighting typing for the third time. I was okay with Infernape, but this was a little too much, especially since GameFreak was trying to make Black and White seem more fresh and new.
Besides the whole typing thing, I seriously don't get all the hate for the big pig. :/
There are better Mixed Water-type sweepers out there, so it isn't as impressive as it sounds. Bad Speed actually renders Daikenki worthless against other options such as Sharpedo or Hiyakki (which can learn both Cheer Up and Nasty Plot, though it doesn't get Megahorn or Aqua Jet, which aren't that impressive either), and with defensive stats of 95/85/70 you aren't going to resist many hits anyway.
Actually 95/85/70 defenses is pretty good, especially when compared to the other mix sweepers you mentioned (75/63/63 and 70/40/40 respectivly). Plus Aqua Jet and Megahorn do have a significance on Daikenki. Aqua Jet allows Daikenki to by pass its average speed to an extent, though unlike Sharpedo it can handle bulky water types and bulky grass types alike thanks to the fact it learns both Grass Knot and Megahorn landing massive amounts of damage in most cases.
Everything but Pururill.
Also, some sprites have some sort of crop issue. I need a certain Pokemon in order to try and figure out the problem, but I have none of the ones with issues. Oh well, I'll try and figure out some way.
