Okay, let's just get this straight: Wobbuffet has never been funny. Popping up uninvited with a salute and a "WAH-buffet" is inane and stupid. What is it supposed to mean, are you chiming in with some witty commentary? leave that to the people who can actually speak, dipshit.
When Team Rocket is going to capture some water types, and James says "They won't sea us coming!" and Jesse says "I'm shore we'll catch them this time!" and Meowth says "We're gonna make waves when we pull this one off!" then that is NOT a moment where Wobbuffett should appear. It has nothing to add to the conversation, the joke, the puns, or anything.
In fact, there is never a time for Wobbuffet. When things are sad, popping up doesn't make me laugh. If it pops up and goes "wabba-wabba" then I don't give a damn. Even in Smash Bros, when you get a Wobbuffet in a pokeball, you groan on the inside. Or often, out loud. Because no one has ever wanted to see a Wobbuffet. Also, I apologize for the puns in the preceding paragraph. They were pretty bad. But they served their porpoise well.
even Smogon doesn't like Wobbuffet. He's banned because he can just reflect or counter everything, or something like that. The fact that he is on the Uber list alongside Lugia and Mewtwo and other known badasses makes me angry and hate the game engine just a little bit.
The only redeeming thing about Wobbuffet is that his female version has actual lipstick on, which is honestly pretty funny. But you think about the little tail with eyes, and how it is just there FOR NO REASON and then suddenly you get the feeling that life won't ever be funny.
Overall: 1/10
It's suppose to be a japanese thing/pun, but it got lost in translation. But, I still feel your pain. -_-;
ReplyDeleteHis japanese name "ソーナンス Sonansu" is suppose to roughly mean "that's the way it is." And Wynaut is suppose to be ソーナノ Sohnano="really?" Like a little kid questioning if pokemon came from eggs. :/
I like the theory that Wobbuffet's tail is actually the main part of a Wobbuffet and the blue body is just a front to protect the real thing. That's why the functioning eyes are on the tail, yeah? It would be cool if that was true...
ReplyDeleteYeah, everything about the anime is fucking godawful.
ReplyDeleteWhy base your score on it?
