Ode to Great Hitmonchan

Hitmonchan

Here's our first post for the section. This has been published on Pojo, but I'd like to have it here on our own boards:

:fighting: Ode to Great Hitmonchan :fighting:
From the days before Modified Format...

I do not like that Hitmonchan.
I do not like him, Nidoran.
I will not play him in my deck.
I won't, I won't, I say, by Heck!

Won't you play him with an Oak?
Toss your Deck until you're broke?
Will you, Won't you Item Find?
It helps you get back from behind!
I will not Oak until I'm broke.
Nor Item Find while I'm behind.
I like to use my big Stage 2's
even though they tend to lose.

But try it, try it! You just must.
Bring up Wiggly with a Gust.
Add a few of those Plus Power
In the DCI you'll tower.

Not Gust nor Power.
Not Bellsprout Tower.
Those B-B-Ps,
my blood they freeze.

You never know until you try.
You just might gain a new ally.
Before you stick with your old deck
Try a change, stick out your neck.

I'll Try. I'll try them Nidoran.
I'll add in that Hitmonchan,
and add in little 'Lectabuzz.
Why you ask? Just because.

I like it! I like it, Nidoran!
I do, I like my Hitmonchan!
And 'buzz and Scy' and all the rest.
I'm glad I followed your request.
I Oak, I Find, and Scoop Up now.
I played before, I don't know how!
This way is quick, to win the game.
So what if skill requir'd is lame.
Thank you, thank you, Nidoran!
I love, I love, my Hitmonchan.

Nice :) :)
Brings back old memories of CHAN and the BBP days.

[nikePK]

Its just so funny how we all used to be like "He's broken, he should be BANNED FROM THE GAME!!!"

lol, then Rocket's Zapdos came out haha.

Nice, PokePop, very comical and good.

[penguin_master]

Good Job!

[Kempley05]

Your a poet and you didn't know it! Nice...

[Angry_Altaria]

Whoa, how'd you find this thread? lol, its three years old. XD

[PokePop]

I always meant to do an illustration for this...
A Hitmonchan drawn in Dr Seuss' art style.

[hitmonchan93]

Sweet.

[Absoltrainer]

YES that is Perfect

Well, they had a point about the "Oak is broke" thing. I mean, no card in this history of the game has ever topped Oak for sheer, unadulterated brokenness.

Yeah, Even The Emproved Best version of Elms couldn't top Oak.:thumb:

Two.
But aside from that, in case you didn't notice, the poem is modeled after "Green Eggs and Ham" by Seuss.

in case I didn't notice...? I couldn't help but notice :lol:. Man, that poem was...*ahem* still is my favorite :clap:

[dtrain]

I's my first checking out this part of pokegym. man that was funny. lol

[Absoltrainer]

Dr. Suess all over again

[The Fish King]

I still have the classic Haymaker! I play with it too. That and Raindance. Don't get me wrong; I have modified decks too, but I just can't abondon those classics... ever...

[Absoltrainer]

I vaguely remember those decks

[Marril]

You know, Damage Swap could probably still win tournaments today if played by intelligent players. Goes to show the resilience of the old decks.

I still have my Raindance, though. Well, kind of a Raindance, as I was like 12 when I built it and didn't have all the power cards, but it was still a fun deck. Shame I don't play anymore.

[PokePop]

Damage Swap couldn't win back then! Not in a timed tournament, anyway.

[sdrawkcab]

Just think if there was a UNLIMITED PREMIERE EVENT in the upcoming tournament season....you would never play against the same deck twice....so many creative ideas...EVERYTHING would be rogue...at least for an year or so if not more....

If only there was 1 premiere unlimited tournament the size of Reginals it'd add a nice "spice" to the game.

Outside of time limits, Damage Swap was/is a beast.

i still say ninjask with aroydactlye and atm rock = broken...

[Adv1sor]

I love, I love, my Hitmonchan.

:)

[PokePop]

Sure it's a three year old bump, but I finally added the Hitmonchan picture to this that I always wanted to draw for it.
A flash back to the old days...

[Absoltrainer]

*sigh* memories...

[BLiZzArD]

Thank you 'Pop I love this poem and the drawing is awesome.

BLiZz

[gallade]
