badass_tiger: Charles Dance as Lord Vetinari (Default)

I agree. It's not much more original to have dozens of puppies and kittens than it is to have living ice cream. Although I'll admit that Electrode and Voltorb are total cop-outs.

I respectfully disagree about Electrode and Voltorb. Because I adore them. And they are hilarious. (Wasn't there a guy in the Safari Zone zoo that was like "Why is there just a ball?" Comedy gold.)

Oh I admit that they're not bad stat-wise, and I liked using them. It's just that - that design? Somebody was totally running out of ideas over there. I mean, they just flipped it upside down to evolve it! They could have at least given it a body or something. But at least it was the one Pokemon that never made me feel bad about my dismal drawing skills, haha.

Well, I like to think they did it just for that joke. Also, they are the perfect trap. You think you're getting a cool item but nope it's this douchebag that explodes in your face and makes you use up all your super potions/leave and come back.

But really I just can't hate Electrode after playing Pokemon Snap and making him play with the Pikachu. Cuties.

SA

and also that's a good point about drawing like it's for kids, so maybe they wanted kids to have something simple they could confidently draw before moving onto the more complicated ones

man

I didn't know how passionate about Voltorb and Electrode I was until this thread

It's not the originality/unoriginality debate that gets me with those Pokémon, it's the fact they're based on... food. As in, something you normally eat. Just connecting food and Pokémon in my head squicks me out. (I realized we eat animals too, but it's a bit more removed.)
