I feel like someone missed the point here. Steelix is cool because he's as big as Nevada, heavier than a Kierkegaard treatise, and handles Special attacks about as well as Balrog kicks. But Mega Steelix is floaty, with glowy rainbow ice crystals and blue beadazzlements and a hovering asteroid belt. What the hell is this even
his stats don't even reflect a change towards the Special. It would be one thing if it just swapped his phys/spec stats and he became a Crystal Steelix like that one Onix in the anime, that would be kind of interesting. But it's not, he's just the same ol' Steelix, except even more.
And with a dumb design
Overall: 3/10
You might be missing the point. It's rock -> steel -> diamond, with the blue rings being exposed geodes. It's still overdesigned though.
ReplyDeleteMagic exists in the Pokémon world. Ghosts and meditation and psychic abilities and rock as body parts, firing energy beams and producing and shooting water from nothing...this is all magic (or as humanity call it nowadays, transcendent technology).
ReplyDeleteRather, I dare say that if you lived in a magical world where supernatural creatures with weird anatomies tread the mountains, Mega Steelix isn't the strangest sight you'll encounter.
