Hey Pojo I've decided to throw my opinion in on the debate over old vs. new
Hitmonchan!!! The piston punching Pokemon vs. Hitmonlee!!! The kicking fiend
Well ok....they are both great and they each have their places in the game.
People fail to see that both before well at different times. Hitmonchan is
without a doubt one of the best starting Pokemon the game has seen. Hes also
an irreplaceable part of Hay. He can use Jab until the third energy hits the
table. He can then unleash a potentially devastating attack that can take out
2 sometimes 3 Pokemon in the early game, once Chan finally bites the dust,
its time for a new type of attack. Hitmonlee is this type of Pokemon, he is
best suited (due to lower HP and more expensive attacks) to attacking after a
quicker attacker has fainted. Hitmonlee is an excellent indirect Mime Killer.
If they are benched they get stretch kicked into oblivion. They have to have
the Mime active to avoid the kick assault. Once the Mimes are dispatched Lee
can deliver a stinging High Jump Kick. It one shot KOs evil Kangs and
Snorlax. Well I think they are great in each their own ways: Speed and Depth.
