The Last Poster Wins! [v21]

[Noblejanobii]

Morzonbe's list for edgy characters:

1: You weren't born normally. You were artificially made, so no one understands or relates to you properly

By this standard you're calling Porygon edgy. Which, beyond actually having edges, it is not.

2: You give off an aura of either being rejected by the whole world or are reserved from others in a "no one understand me, you don't know my life or what I've gone through" sort of way.

Um… subjective much? Type: Null doesn't do this hardly at all. You only ever interact with Type: Null through battle. Gladion certainly does this but don't fault the Pokémon for the qualities of the Trainer.

3: Your life is a sob-story. There is no substance or other redeeming qualities to you. Your purpose is to make people feel sorry for you and your tragic life while despising the people who hurt such an innocent pokemon.

While Type: Null's backstory is tragic, it's redeeming quality is that it's appearance is really cool and it's a kick *** in battle. You can't even make an argument against Gladion on this either since he acts as a hero in rebelling against his mother to save his sister. In addition, this kind of makes Mimikyu edgy.

4: Your design relates directly to your very sad creation/life story or is based specifically to contain a special OP ability only you have, because without it you would be even more rejected and lonely than you already are.

Technically Type: Null has no OP abilities, Silvally does but not Type: Null. Other than having some pretty good stats and moves there's not much unique about it beyond its appearance. I will give you this though since this is partially true but this also increases the edginess of other pokemon too.

5: You either have no friends or have a single friend who is edgy in their own way (though not necessarily as bad as you) No one else understands you, and more importantly you don't trust them to understand you.

I'll give you this one based on what limited interactions we as the player have had with Type: Null and Gladion. The edginess meter is slowly filling for Mimikyu.

6:You present yourself as something above others (in this case legendary-like) by being based off of an actual legendary. The only thing you get is an OP power similar to the legendary, only that power is a reason for your alienation more than it helps you, because it makes you more special and unique and impossible to understand.

Type: Null doesn't "present itself" as you say. If this were a PMD game I'd give it to you but like I said we only ever see this Pokémon in battle so it can't really present itself. Secondly, Type: Null can't exactly help the whole alienation thing if it was created in a lab on an island and never allowed to interact with the outside world. So I feel like that can't be really held against it. And you know who else is edgy by this standard? Munna and the Gigalith from GtI!

7: You're OP, or give off a vibe of being OP.

Granted, Type: Null does have the highest BST of Pokémon able to evolve, given it doesn't have access to Silvally's abilities, it isn't actually that OP. And Silvally doesn't have a much highest BST so they're not that OP. Slaking has a higher BST than Silvally.

8: You evolve from friendship. This one works less directly and more a a reference to the fact that friendship, love, and connections is what can save you from depression often caused through adolescence. (As in, you're depressed and edgy right now you need friendship to get out of it)

So Pichu, Togepi, Igglybuff, Riolu, Eevee, Cleffa, Chansey, and all other friendship evolutions as also edgy?

9: Your theme is based off of an idea championed by edgy teenagers who want to be special, OP, and "unique" in a "no one understands me" sort of way without doing any work: You are a typeless pokemon. You have no weaknesses and are extremely strong because of it. You have no limitations on usable moves so you have a type advantage over everybody. While in reality you may be an actual type, your design suggests to the fan-fiction loving fanbase that you don't.

No, Type: Null is based on a Chimera, as I already said. Also it does have a weakness, literally it's a normal type so it's weak to fighting. And Silvally is weak to whatever weaknesses the type it takes on has.

10: Just to add a few more qualities that set you apart from all those normal people, you're rare and can't breed, so you don't feel love like most do.

so nidoqueen, all baby pokémon, and legendaries are edgy too? Man I never realized how edgy pichu is.
