If you remember the CHARIZARD rule it makes perfect since.

It's so the bambinos that use Charmanderino can win

what's the CHARIZARD rule?

Any Forums fags use statues to make their posts because the games are ugly as fuck, and the only one not buying toys are poorfags

Essentially, all balance changes must make CHARIZARD look better. Onix can't be too strong because it is the first boss and would be too hard for baby CHARIZARD to defeat.

I googled "Onix" and it was the 3rd result. It's not deep, you're just autistic

You really just let charizard live rent free in your head 24/7 don't you?

I have to wonder how you ended up the person you are today

They needed to have the first boss be a challenge but doable for players who picked fire. That's my guess.

The real crime is the fact GF hasn't gone back and given it the ol' "Scyther/Scizor" treatment and bumped Onix's BST to be equal with Steelix, only with a completely different stat spread: make it faster and offensive to counter out Steelix being slow and defensive.

Captain Autism in the flesh!

>weakest pokemon
It takes a strong trainer to succeed with the weakest among them.
Looks like it's time to solo the franchise with Onix.
Again.

Take your meds holy fuck.

I don't know what everyone is talking about. I solo'd ORAS with only an Onix. It wasn't very hard.

It was designed to be a first boss before it was designed to be a party member, that's as deep as it goes.

This some weird ass take, the point is a tackle from an oddish hurts more then one from a giant rock snake.

NTA but he is right, though he worded it like an autist. The other starters slam dunk Onix without thinking about it, only Charmander would consider him a threat due to being weak to Onix's stabs and Onix resisting fire. They go as far as to give Charmander Metal Claw in FRLG literally just so Charmander has something SE against Rock Pokemon.

If they didn't balance around Charmander, Onix could have definitely been stronger.

it's really weird to not fix its stats almost 27 years later

I just don't understand why they did this instead of just giving it a pre-evo

they did. It's called Geodude

Nobody's saying you shouldn't use it because it's weak.
It's just weird that a giant rock snake, the biggest Pokemon in gen 1, is so hilariously weak.

Leave Charichud to me.

That defeats the purpose.
Onix is meant to be intimidating so you feel cool for defeating it.
A smaller, visibly weaker pre-evo wouldn't have the same effect.

>and the only one not buying toys are poorfags
Some extreme manchild and consumer cope

They hated him because he told the truth.

The hell are you on about? There’s a mankey right outside the gym
