Should Serperior be added over Dragonair
There are many things that compose the entirety of the world and while less so are important to the people, there are many still. One of the most important characteristics to their lives, and arguably the most so, is perhaps human emotions which dictate many whether it’s to their awareness or not. Emotions such as happiness, lust, and sadness dictate a person’s mood and consequently their actions, plenty of times overpowering their super ego, their logic. The other most important characteristic that a human possesses is perhaps their ability to think as is taught to and required, for the majority of English speaking countries at least, in school which its purpose is to teach young people who don’t know how to think efficiently to do so. It can then be established that Serperior should be added to the game because it satisfies the emotional and logical quota better than Dragonair.
As emotion is too broad of a subject but important nonetheless, it is necessary to narrow down a specific emotion, and perhaps the emotion that pertains the most with respect to the contents of the game is lust. As the game is sexual in nature, it only makes sense that lust which pertains the most to sex is the most relevant emotion, and with this being the case, there are two main characteristics which incite lust in people namely personality and aesthetics of which Serperior is certainly superior to Dragonair in these regards. There are many categories of each that Serperior is better, but to keep things simple, this will focus more on personality and general aesthetics. To start with, Serperior is a very prideful Pokémon that will only “[give] its all against strong opponents who are not fazed by the glare from Serperior’s noble eyes,” and while this may seem rather off putting at first, this is ultimately a corruption game (

). Perhaps the most satisfying character type to corrupt is a proud character, and this is because unlike one with a weak will where you expect them to be easily corruptible, a proud character is satisfying to corrupt because they don’t appear to be so, and this creates a gap moe effect, an effect where one feels happiness due to the prospect of another acting outside of the beholder’s initial prediction. An example of this is the difference between seeing a kuudere smile and a deredere smile; one rarely sees a kuudere smile and will therefore feel more satisfied when they finally do. For this reason, Serperior is a greater addition to the game because it comes off as a kuudere as opposed to Dragonair who would probably be more of a dandere, who similarly “tend to flee when they sense danger” (

). Aesthetics is much simpler though because quite simply, Serperior has the better design. Where Serperior has markings patterns, and facial complexion resembling that of royalty, Dragonair is much simpler and lacks certain features that would really make it stand out. One is perhaps more inclined to feel lust towards a beautiful empress rather than the day to day female. Nevertheless, Serperior is superior to Dragonair in appealing to lust because of its proud personality and its regal aesthetics as opposed to Dragonair’s skittish personality and bland aesthetics.
In addition, it’s quite certain that in essence, despite its adult nature, Pokémon Cultivation is still a game, consequently making gameplay a necessary concern, and in this regard, Serperior is more logical to add in than Dragonair because Serperior surpasses Dragonair in battle potential and the game still needs a grass type to breed. To start, it’s necessary to assert that one must stay topical in addressing the prompt, and the creator wishes to know what snake they should add to the game. The logical train of thought then is that Dragonair’s evolution, Dragonite, shouldn’t have an impact in the decision as it’s no longer a snake nor snake like, and subsequently it shouldn’t be added if it can evolve since the question is about snakes, but in practice, this isn’t and will not be the case because people don’t tend to fully read the topical question. Nevertheless, whether Dragonite is added into the question or not, Serperior still has it beat in terms of battle of potential provided that the creator gives the player access to Serperior’s hidden ability, contrary. With contrary, Serperior turns from a mediocre speedy tank to a battle monster. To start, it serves as an answer to the common ability intimidate as it not only negates the debuffs but becomes a buff instead, and this ability paired up with the move leaf storm will turn Serperior from a punching bag to a ramping threat that can sweep with its high speed and tank a decent amount of damage. Some may then argue that Dragonite is a pseudo-legendary with a higher base stat total and a better moveset. This argument is inherently flawed because a Pokémon viability isn’t determined solely by its base stat total but also its stat distribution. A big reason why Serperior is so good is because its base stats prioritizes speed and defense which are needed to outspeed a fast enemy Pokémon and tank a hit to set up a contrary buff which provides the high damage it requires. The base move set (because I don’t really feel like looking through all the TMs and HMs) of Serperior is also better for its kit in its ability to learn Leaf Storm which benefits from contrary and gives Serperior a two stage stat increase rather than decrease as opposed to Dragonite’s which while powerful are also unreliable with low accuracy or inability to change moves. Of course, it must be conceded that the above is only true if Serperior is given access to its ability contrary, and otherwise, Dragonite is the superior Pokémon in combat potential. Going forth, yet again, the second part is much easier to address in that currently the game does not have a breedable grass type but does currently already have a dragon type in Noivern, and the addition of Dragonite would be a redundant and overuse of the dragon typing which provide the exigence behind why it shouldn’t be added over Serperior. In summary, Serperior beats Dragonair in both its battle potential, topicality as a snake, and variety as a breedable grass type which is currently not in the game.
Then it is now evident that Serperior has got Dragonair beat in the ability to generate lust and value in the current state of the game. In topicality to the question, Serperior has Dragonair beat, and it would be the better Pokémon to include in the game over all. For these reasons I affirm the pro ballot: Should Serperior be added over Dragonair in the game, Pokémon Cultivation.
