What is that sheet suppose to be?
Dream world artwork for the pokemon
What is that sheet suppose to be?
Ah... maybe it didn't extract quite right, the original is fine, I'll see if I can fix it and get a better one.so um yeah
anyone else noticed this little quirk on Waruviles art for the dream world?

Glitch or on purpose....
who knows
The thing is, if you are talking about "variety" in typings, you're implicitly refering to the metagame in some fashion.
They shouldn't assign a pokemon a certain typing right out of the blue just to negate the weaknesses it would've otherwise had as a single type or make it more powerful. Both Chaoboo and Emboar should've been Fire/Dark instead because I heard they're both based upon Chinese pig demons and the latter happens to have an uncanny resemblance to Ganon from the old Zelda games.
Ampharos King said:Trick Room teams might find a niche for the pokemon somewhere (seeing as it is rarely able to survive and attack in normal circumstances).
I still say that Emboar is too inferior to justify anything.
The only reason I can think of uses for Emboar thats not outclassed is for access to Head smash and Wild Bolt with Reckless and being a decent Trick Room sweeper.
I still say that Emboar is too inferior to justify anything. Sure using a choice scarf can help it, but then again you could do the same for Blaziken and Infernape. You can mix sweep, but again Blaziken and Infernape can due it better with higher speed. You can go all out physical attack, but once again inferior due to lower speed and lack of sword dance.
It's high Hp stat goes to waste thanks to Flare Blitz and Wild Bolt spamming with weather, status, and entry hazards also being factored most of the time, and it boosts the lowest special attack of the fire type starters (though admittedly still usable)

Perhaps inferior to many other Pokémon, but surprisingly better than what most people give credit for, and a much superior option compared to the overrated Jalorda and the boring Daikenki.
Speaking of Reckless and recoil moves, I don't think why people think it's the only way to go with Enbuoh. Personally, I'm not that into the competitive metagame of Singles (I play more Doubles and now Triples) and I like to have variety in my teams, so I will use Enbuoh over Blaziken or Infernape from time to time, never thinking of one of them "outclassing" the others. Besides, many things I've stated speak for themselves of how Enbuoh should differentiate itself from the fowl and the ape.
Fact is that outside some niche roles, Embuoh is largely outclassed by his Fire/Fighting bretheren and will likely wind up NU this Generation. To be fair though, I think all of the Isshu Starters will wind up NU this Generation.
And everything you brought was already posted by other users, thus my point stands. Nevertheless, I don't care for Singles tiers or usability so Enbuoh is still a pretty solid choice for my tastes. "Outclassing" is something I never think of when constructing a team: it would be pointless to build teams if we're always influenced to what most people guess it's the best to use and going that way instead of what I actually want. That's one of the few reasons I don't play Singles and, again, I enjoy having variety from time to time even if that means I'll have a harder time defeating an opponent or that I "deserve" to lose.

The Gobit and Kirikizan lines don't seem to have art yet.
And Pururill is one that didn't extract right(it's supposed to be in the blank square by Burungel) and I've been trying to fix.
I'm scared of that thing. o.oThanks bluesun! Just what I needed for my new avatar.

I think I like the male form better, imho.
