Anagram 01/15/23 6:44:47 PM #230: | I Wanna Be the Very Best Larry Mega Evolution Nuzlockes Battle Tower Pokeball (Smash Bros) Ultra Beasts Missingno. Regional Gym Leader Music in BW2 Fakemons Theme Song (Anime) Pokeball Dundunspace Area Zero Ghost (Type): I think what sets Pokemon's type chart aside from most elemental systems is its willingness to use weird things as elements. Sure, we've got fire, water, earth/ground, and air/flying, but then we have ghost, dragon, fairy, and fighting, too. And the ghost type in particular, I think it might be the strongest type in terms of designs? Other than Gimmighoul, it doesn't have any completely embarrassing garbage mons. Another thing: it doesn't have any crapmons in terms of gameplay, either. I think the type itself is so strong that it means any pokemon, no matter its stats, will have some value, and cannot be THAT bad. Immunity to two types will do that for ya. Though why it's weak to dark is anyone's guess. Anyway, ghost was very clearly intended to be a special type in RBY, like dragon, set apart from the others in terms of both gameplay power and lore, which is why the anime initially treats ghost types as stronger than other types, and why there's only one example in the game, and only one added in GSC (same with dragon, in fact). Even now, it's still a little special compared to, say, grass. Comfortable and Easy to Wear Pokemon Rap Cypher 6 Magikarp Fishermen Pokemon Trading Card Game The name Doughberman for Daschbun Pokemon Cookies (2) Waking up on the first turn after being put to sleep Team Rocket (Anime) Piplup Step Bidoof's Big Stand BW2 Unique Gym Music: Like with the regional gym leader/champion music, this is just another extra mile they didn't need to go for, but did. That doesn't mean that all of the themes are good, of course... or even really any of them, but the effort being put in is good. Roxie's song actually has lyrics; is this the first use of voiced lyrics in Pokemon? I love how the American Roxie's voice is clearly a Japanese woman who can only sort of pronounce English letters. I like how Elesa's theme is super high-energy, but Elesa herself is not at all, which is funny. Clay's theme sounds almost like Donkey Kong Country music, Skyla's has lots of wind sounds, Drayden's sounds like JRPG final boss music, and Marlon's is just a chill cruise theme. I won't say they all fit perfectly, but I appreciate that extra effort. Shiny Pokemon Nemona Lavender Town Syndrome Hilda Team Plasma Mew Glitch Corviknight: Fantastic premise for a bird pokemon, and it plays in well with the British setting. Great design, actually useful... A+ job in all regards. I'll say this, though: I don't understand why Rookiedee is pure flying. I understand that they probably thought an immediate flying/steel pokemon was too powerful early game (although they later let you get Flamigo, so who knows), but why make it pure flying? There are plenty of pokemon who change types as they evolve. So odd. Galarian Articuno Fairy (Type) N Pokestar Studios Hex Maniac: Waifus gonna waifu, nothing wrong with that. A crazy goth waifu? It makes complete sense that this was the most popular trainer class for a while. Poke Floats Pokemon Creepy Black Guzma Doom with a Magikarp as a starter Wiglett Double Trouble (Team Rocket) Joey's Ratatta --- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig.
