Scizor>Scyther
« on: February 03, 2010, 03:27:45 am »
Most people believe Scyther is better then Scizor because he betters stats, moves, etc. But Scizor is better than Scyther because of one reason, he looks cooler. I think it would take a heck of an argument to prove Scizor isn't the coolest looking pokemon out there. Scizor rules!!!

No way Scyther is such a stud.  He has always been my personal favorite.  He may be used in competitive play a lot less, Scizor being in a lot more, but Scyther will always be better.  He looks so cool and has a wicked cry.

Arguments (at least the intelligent ones) are based on the laws of logic.

As such, logic would dictate that if Scyther has better 'stats, moves, etc,' then Scyther would be the 'better' Pokemon.

'Coolness' is a matter of opinion and therefor doesn't exist in the realms of logic. Just because you think something is better because it 'looks cooler' doesn't automatically make it so.

So, to sum things up, you believe that Scizor would totally get its butt kicked by Scyther, but'll look good during so.  ;)

P.S.

Scyther came first, Scyther saw first, Scyther kicked butt first. Scyther>Scizor

I prefer scizor. it has the steel typing and good defenses with awesome attack. it is a much bulkier pokemon with better moves. so for me,

Scyther<Scizor.
I like slowpoke.

that and blades are way more impressive than picers. would you be as intimidated if someone ran at you with a crab claw than if they had two huge scythes? i didnt think so.

scyther>scizor.

that gives me something to draw, a scyther with drills as hands. still not as cool but why not? it will surpress my boredom.

Scizor has better colors (The Red/Dark color scheme is much better then the Green color scheme), but the claws I think look cooler on Scizor than the blades on Scyther. Agreeing with Dellancher, Scyther has a better cry. This post was not made to show that Scyther is a "better" pokemon based on who I would use in a game, it is to show who I think is a "better" as in more favorable pokemon. Scizor in the anime is broadcasted as a much cooler pokemon than Scyther. They always show Scyther in the anime as such a mean, scary pokemon. Scizor is simply better based on appearance. Kuhns, I never said I was making a logical argument based on stats, this is simply an opinion of why I like Scizor more so stop getting SO devistated.

Ive never even heard of a Scisor until I read the opening post.

SO im going to go with Scyther.
Am I a ghost or a man? Or a man-ghost offspring that come from mi father's inexplicable penetration of mi mother's ghostly woman parts? Or am I a child imitating a man's ability to change into a ghostly form in order to preserve mi appellation?

Back when only gen 1 was out, my brother and I used to joke that there was a pokemon called scizor, because scissors are not exactly cool and it's so overused to make something awesome by adding -or to the end. We laughed so hard when they actually went and made it for real.

...Uh, deviastated? I think you should go look that one up before using it again.

I was merely stating that an argument would be pointless in comparing the two, since it is a matter of opinion, and not of something with more reasonable grounds. As such you did state that:

followed up by:

But Scizor is better than Scyther because of one reason, he looks cooler.

So yes, I do understand that you believe that Scizor is a better Pokemon because you think it looks better than Scyther.  8)

In saying that, I stand firm on my opinion that Scyther is a better Pokemon than Scizor.

Yay for the logic on the first page! Scyther>scizor
