NERDCULTURE SMACKDOWN! POKÉMON OF THE WEEK! AUGUST 3- AUGUST 9/13!

#390 CHIMCHAR, #391 MONFERNO, & #392 INFERNAPE

If you haven't figured it out by now, I'm the sort of Pokémon player who goes with the Fire Starter every time and, unless Fennekin evolves into something that sucks, this is unlikely to change any time soon. Another thing you might've figured out by now is that my favorite generation is 4th Generation. I love the designs, the mechanics, the games, etc, I could go on, and the 4th Generation Starters are my favorites. That's why, this week, I'm excited to talk about the Fire/Fighting simians of the Sinnoh region.

LAST WEEK'S POKÉMON: #347 ANORITH & #348 ARMALDO

EX. Immolation is what comes to mind when I see something get burnt to ashes or I one-hit KO an enemy Pokémon with a fire Pokémon..By the way, the gif above is what it looks like when Infernape's ability Blaze ignites.
