I like what one guy said: since they are called fireflies or lightning bugs, one of these little buggers should've been Bug/Fire and the other Bug/Electric. It would have made them actually different and memorable, and provided good version-exclusives.
Wait, hold on.
Yeah, okay, it turns out these SHITS aren't even version exclusives. Wait, neither were Plusle and Minun? WHAT THE HELL.
Man, that's just such a bad thing. When you have one Pokemon concept, like "firefly", you either just make the damn Pokemon, or, if you're feeling inspired and think you have two different designs in mind, you should put them in the opposite games, so that each game has a similar-but-different Pokemon.
I mean, that's why Growlithe and Vulpix are exclusives: they are incredibly similar in function, so they split them up.
But Volbeat and Illumise? I don't care if they have some sort of weird love-bug thing going on, there's no reason to waste two spots on a mediocre "dur i dunno a bug mebbe" design. This is the reason why people hate on Bug-types all the time.
and you know what's worse? I peeked, and we aren't going to see another decent Bug until the 5th Gen. FRIG.
Overall: 1/10
Creepy looking bug cherub with a stupid design. Looks like a chubby alien baby. Are those clothes that it's wearing? That's just... odd.
