I have the worst Bronzong in the world
When I first caught Bricky (I named all my Pokemon so that they rhyme with -icky, like Flicky and Ricky, after the little animals in Sonic 1), I was impressed with what a tank it was even for a first evolution. However, traveling across snow-covered plains and rainy swamps, fighting off monsters of all kinds with only my bag in hand, unfortunately revealed that what I previously thought was such an awesome tank ended up being more of a crappy… tunk.
Don’t get me wrong - Bronzong is actually a pretty great Pokemon and with a good move list can totally be useful in battle. It just happened that my little Bricky had the Star of Death on it and ended up being the crappiest Bronzong in the world. With the abilities of Heatproof and a nature that ended up lowering its stats, my Bricky can’t stand up to any Pokemon that has Earthquake (which would be nearly all of them), is weaker than other Bronzongs, and probably has massive self-esteem issues since it wasn’t ever powerful enough to one-hit-KO enemies so I ended up raising it mostly with EXP-Share. I mean, sure, he’s pretty resistant against Fire moves, but how many Pokemon actually use Fire moves when there’s a billion more useful moves out there? Do you ever see anyone using Fire Punch? Fire Blast? Flamethrower? Maybe if their starter is a Fire type, but really now, why use Fire when Thunderbolt or Ice Beam does the same thing??
I shouldn’t be so annoyed with Bricky about him being so inept though - it’s all my fault to begin wtih. When I started raising him, I just enjoyed how buff he was without taking into account his poor nature or his second-rate ability. I figured everything would work itself out as I trudged across snow-covered peaks and muddy swamps. I mean, afterall, Ash seems to be doing okay fighting with just a Pikachu and GUTS ™, right?
Man, Ash is a lie.
Good bye, Bricky.
I should’ve named you BronZOMG instead.

Take him on a nice walk in the park, buy him nice things like honey and poffins and lemonade, have a little picnic at the top of Mt Coronet, share a moment gazing out across the endless horizon and then push him off the ledge. It’ll be painless and he won’t realise what happened till it’s too late. I tell you it’d be for the best. Plus you’ll have him registered in the pokedex already so you’ll never have to worry about him again!

Is this why I don’t see your cute little Pachirisu around anymore, Paul? ;_;

I don’t play Pokemon, I guess you’re talking about the new one on Nintendo DS?
