how come so many people on this forum hate the whole chimchar evoultion family actually all monkey pokemon in general

Personally i love Aipom and Monferno a lot

Can someone please explain??!!

(oh and if i get "its just another fighting/fire type i won't take you seriously)
 
Chimchar and Monferno are alright, but I think Infernape looks really lame. It looks like the designers just tried to make it look so epic, that it just wasn't.

And with the "its another fire/fighting type" thing, well yeah. The typing couldn't really be called innovative, which I think was the whole purpose of DPPt, and indeed Gen IV.

Plus, fire and fighting types rarely work their way into my teams, with the exception of the awesomeness that is Typhlosion.

I thought everyone else loved infernape?
 
I like Infernape to a certain degree, but Blaziken in my opinion is better, plus its my favourite fire type.

well i was browsing the forums and i see all these posting bashing infernape and i'm like "its not a bad pokemon"
 
It's not a bad Pokemon, I'm just not a user or a fan of it
 
Wow, you're serious? People don't like Infernape? I never people care much either way in this forum, and when they did, the response is usually positive.

Anyway, my two cents on the thing:

I really don't like his design. I dunno, out of all the starters, I think he's designed the most un-startery... if that makes sense.

For me, the problem with monkeys is that in most media, when a monkey is introduced as a main character it's usually a blatant scheme by the developers to rein in fans with their "cuteness". I don't have a problem with Mankey/Primape, Aipom/Ambipon or Slakoth/Vigoroth/Slaking. But Infernape is a starter, and as such, represents the Generation. In other words, he's a blatant scheme by the developers to rein in fans. I don't like him.

I also don't like that he's a member of the ridiculously overrated fire type.

And yeah, the "not the first fire/fighting excuse" is valid insofar as it is the only Sinnoh starter without a unique type combination.

Also, running into one every two seconds in Shoddy really pisses me off.

No, I don't like Infernape
 
No one likes Infernape? From what I can tell, EVERYONE uses him.
 
I was under the impression that every competitive battler on here was in a veritable love affair with the flaming monkey.

Personally, I love Fire types. But Infernape really does feel like a blatant Blaziken rip off to me. You gave the other two final forms of the starters unique type combinations. Why not Infernape? It's overrated, I think. It's not as good as a lot of people think (though it's certainly not a bad pokemon), so it annoys me when they gush about it.
 
i choose blaziken over infernape for me, but infernape's not bad
 
Infernape is better at battling then Blaziken because of superioir speed. However, Blaziken when introduced was unique and awesome.
 
Well, I like Infernape. Sure, it seems like another Blaziken, but I don't care much. I happen to like both, well actully, all Fire Starters very much.
 
I ADORE Infernape. It's a Son Goku Hellfire Monkey, what's bad about that? It's strong, it's fast, and it's cooler-looking than Blaziken. Though Blaziken is useful for breeding awesome Infernapes with Blaze Kick. <3
 
I do like Infernape but it's design is nothing special,actually.

I love Infernape. =D

Actually, Chimchar and their stages, are the ones I normally choose when I start a new file on my games... It's easier for me to level them up, after all, I wait until I have Monferno(sp?) before going to the first gym.
 
People actually use the "do we need another fire/fighting type" as an argument? Let's ignore all the grass/poison, normal/flying, and rock/ground Pokemon that are out there...

Honestly, Infernape is an awesome design, her cry is real cool, and I'd choose Infernape over Blaziken almost any day. Both are awesome in their own way, and nothing is more epic than a flaming fighting chicken and a flaming fighting monkey.
 
It's the only fast starter plus it's a monkey and monkeys are awesome!! And Infernape looks so huggable when he's not in battle position!!
 
Why would anyone wanna hug an Infernape. Also, I remember making an fire-type monkey thing when I was in kindergarden... It even had the fire on its head..
