Ditto vs. Saitama

[The_Wright_Way]

I'd say the Original saitama wins because in the Pokemon show (although i dont remember the episode or name of the woman) had two Dittos. Ash's Pikachu battled one of the Dittos and of course the ditto already copied Pikachu at the start of the battle, the Copied Pikachu used Volt tackle while the original used quick attack and the original simply overpowered the copy, mind you we all know volt tackle is superior to quick attack.
Basically what im saying is the copy will not be on equal grounds with the original, meaning copy saitama will not beat the original

Sorry if i missed something or overlooked anything

That sounds like plot induced stupidity to me. Every other time Ditto transformed it's stats have been completely onpar with it's opponents. Also Pikachu is somewhat of a glass cannon so that might have something to do with it.

Uh, wut?

For the purposes of the debate we assume they are, often Ditto is portrayed as equal

I don't think we count the anime as the canon for the Pokémon verse.

we do.

We count all things as equally canon for the Pokemon verse.

I think the main saga (games) have preference...

 

[DatBoyNorbit]

Quick question, are the Ditto naturally smart or are they kinda feral and unintellegent because you know they are WILD are'nt they?

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

A bunch of wild Dittos could mimic humans for some periods of times, implying that their intellect is somewhat close to humans.

 

[DatBoyNorbit]

I vote inconclusive because honestly they would stalemate each other in every category... the only thing debatable is there intellegence and whomever has the greater intellegence wins but it seems they both are kinda average. I do actually believe if the Ditto was feral it would give it that animalistic edge over Saitama

This might be considered game mechanics but Transform does not copy the HP stat it keeps the users hp stat the exact same. So ditto would arguably have trash durability even with metal powder boosting defences and get one shot where as I don't think Saitama can one shot himself as Amexim stated.

That's gameplay mechanics

 

[NeoZex6399]

True, I think it's related to the reason why mega evolutions and primal forms don't have any boost in HP.

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

It's 100% is game mechanic. Changing the Max HP of a Pokémon mid-fight could cause weird stuff to happen. So it doesn't happen.

 

[Webcamparrot]

Metal powder working post transformation should be considered game mechanics as well in that case since that only worked in Gen 2 likely due to a bug and was removed in every other gen.

Actually where do we even draw the line between whether something is game mechanics or not for pokemon on here. Because a lot of it directly comes from game mechanics.

It does though. Zyarde 10/50% turning into Zygarde 100% causes its HP it increase mid-battle.

 

[Yobo_Blue]

HP points as a whole are game mechanics

 

[Schnee_One]

Ditto FRA

 

[Hizack123]

And i also go with ditto fra

 

[Random1201]

Ditto fra

 

[Amexim]

Even if HP is game mechanics, I don't think Saitama can one shot himself. It's not like he's a Dragon Ball Character that can decrease his durability when he is relaxing-- he just has incomprehensible amounts of muscle control.

 

[DMB_1]

Uhh... I vote inconclusive because I doubt that Saitama would underestimate himself. You could argue that Ditto has an experience advantage, but come on, all he can do is punching him.

 

[Schnee_One]

And?

Anyway this is concluded

 

[DMB_1]

Crap, I didn't realized that.

 

[The_Wright_Way]

So, shouldn't this be requested.

 

[Schnee_One]

Yes

>implying this is "notable"

 

[Schnee_One]

Nah
