Question: If you have two Machamps in a room together, how do they cuddle?

lol I was waiting for the "pants" part when I saw the article. Nintendo needs to censor that asap.

The Pokemon company and its affiliates really come up with the greatest things.

How long until Machamp/Gallade doujins, lol?

I would be thrilled to see a Machoke do battle against a Hariyama (Hariyama's appearance is similar to that of a sumō wrestler).

That's easy! The more arms, the better the snuggles!

Um, gameplay-wise, Machamp is outclassed by Conkeldurr though, since the latter has bulky HP, higher ATK, and better Def. Not to mention, great recovery in Drain Punch :\

Yeah, but "physique", at least as it was written in Japanese, is talking about the appearance. The Kailiky/Machamp family are considered more attractive-looking. Pfft. Unfortunate because the Roobusin family are characterized by construction equipment. They lose at their own game!

Your guides are "battle girl" Sayaka and "karate king" Osamu


These are the names of the first of both trainer types you usually meet in almost every game in Japanese, just for trivia's sake.

Also, this quick doodle I made many years ago is probably relevant to this topic. I don't think it's NSFW at all, but the title literally tells you what the picture is, so you have been warned: 3 Girls in Lingerie

Now, it looks like Chuck Norris has met his match. Machamp should go against Hitmonchan to see who can do more punches in a second.

No No Guard Dynamic Punch, though.

Chuck Norris is old, dyes his hair and probably uses Botox.

Who's the illustrator? They should do some of the artwork for the Pokémon Trading Card Game (unless they already do), because this is exactly the way the TCG's art team does things: Dynamic, in-action poses that depict the Pokémon doing some particular thing. It was a major factor in why I continued to play the TCG for so long.

I wonder if they'll have any other weird details about these Pokémon.

Yeah, it feels great to just select Dynamic Punch, then see the damage rack up and confusion settle in. Machamp does it way better than Golurk (but Golurk's no slouch in that either).

Really enjoyable read. Won't think of their "lower the belt" area the same way ever again.

The one thing on everyone's minds, though: how the heck does Machamp gain its extra set of arms?
