Machamp is slow as gently caress, even scarfed, and incredibly vulnerable to 3 common attacking types. Also Fissure doesn't affect things with levitate or that are flying type.

Its like when everyone was super excited Flareon got Flare Blitz. It doesn't actually matter that mich.

At best it'll serve as a wall breaker. Though yeah, aside from that, other Fighting types can do its job better, especially with the Confusion nerf making Dynamic Punch Machamp a bit less powerful.

And the cops all shake and quiver and quake
as she stabs them with her cuffs
Leaf has a Tauros that knows Surf.

It mattered enough. Especially to people who don't worry about competitive stuff. It didn't really make Flareon more competitive. It just made it make sense.
I don't need my pokemon to be strong, I just need them to be intuitive. I need my fire type with a 130 base attack to have a good physical STAB. Everything else is for Smogon to worry about.

Now to give Electrode a special-type Explosion. Because having a Pokemon whose identity involves being fast and exploding having said exploding work off of an abysmal 50 base attack...well it doesn't make much sense.
(Mind you, I don't really care too much about Electrode or exploding).

My disdain for you all knows no bounds.
Fissure Machamp probably won't be making waves in Smogon because OHKO moves are banned in almost all the tiers. Unless there happens to be a huge amount of power creep in Gen VII that suddenly makes them okay to use. I honestly no idea how effective it will be outside of that, but honestly, probably won't do much in other cases either.

Wasn't there like official or concept art of her, Red, and Blue all together or something? Though for some reason, it took until Crystal to implement an option to play as a girl.

give electrode a new ability that makes its explosion go off its special attack but still hit physically, and also make it halve their defense stat like it used to, and also make it hit ghost types. and also make it automatically explode upon being ko'd.

It's not weird, it's a souvenir, or she liked the style of clothing. Why is that weird?

Not even a joke. Literally wasn't enough space on the cart in the original games to include player choice.

You do realize ladies wear that wrapped skirt over a swimsuit on beaches basically everywhere on the planet when/where it's warm, right?

Isn't that sort of thing a way lots of countries make money off tourism? Along with a lot of other things I mean, but in a lot of places rental clothes are popular because people want to look the part of the place they're visiting. Tourists get to make fools of themselves by wearing "traditional" outfits that most regular people don't bother with and the locals make money off it.

Granted I don't know whether that happens in Hawaii. But the concept in general doesn't seem too weird, just sorta silly.

I think you guys are vastly overestimating the usability of No Guard/Fissure Machamp. And I don't just mean in a fight, I mean getting it into the fight in the first place. Can't use it on Smogon, they ban OHKOs. Can't use it in battle spot, the unfeeling judgement of the blue pentagon (or the salmon rhombus or whatever gen 7's version is) won't allow it. You'd basically be restricted to using it against people who are able to reach over and smack you for doing it.

I mean it makes sense if you've never been near a lady at a pool/near a beach/out in warm, muggy summer weather and all you know about lady's fashion is slightly misremembered cultural fashion stereotypes.

You take them off on the sand proper but you wear some shoes getting there.
