Talk:Pikachu VS Blanka/@comment-29031486-20160713163608

I get that this is a very old death battle, and that their research methods has since improved (They didn't treat Shadow like a dark type, that was a relief) but honestly, this is my least favorite death battle because it's one I can dispute in it's entirety, they claim to be using Ash's Pikachu, but they cherry picked every possible way to lowball Pikachu, everything from game mechanics to Raichu's Pokedex entry, despite a long list of feats contradicting them including (surprise surprise) defeating several Raichu. EV's and IV's are a game mechanic and there's no real evidence to suggest they're in the Anime. Electric Eels are what they based Blanka's resistance on, which is a humongous stretch, and Blanka is not a pokemon. He'd have no resistance to Iron Tail. At all. I'm also certain Pikachu's demonstrated a LOT more power, I've looked everywhere for Blanka's top end feats and none of them even come close. Pikachu's dependance on a trainer is also negligible, as Pikachu has suggested battle strategies to Ash before, and wild pokemon are capable of complex construction in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. They're not exactly dumb animals.

Thorough Pikachu Respect Thread

Poke'verse humans ARE superhuman so don't give me that argument that because people can withstand it that it's weak either.

I'll admit, I'm a pokemon fan more than street fighter, but it doesn't mean I'm biased. I can't dispute Charizard vs Agumon, Goku vs Superman(both of them), Mario vs Sonic, He-Man vs Lion-O, or Terminator vs Robocop even though my favorites got owned. This one.. yea I disagree with 100%
