Beedrill is the first of a handful of great bug pokemon that balance out the mass of sucky bug pokemon.
His design is great, it is everything pokemon should be. Start with a recognizable animal base (bee), tweak it a little bit (more humanoid), and then add something badass onto it (drill hands).
I mean, the guy has freaking drills for hands. Or maybe they're spikes. Whatever. The only thing is his stats, which are - actually, forget that mess. There is no downside to Beedrill.
Plus, shiny Beedrill looks like the mascot for the New Orleans Hornets.
Overall: 10/10
Sadly Bug types were totally Underpowered in the first games. Not because of their stats but because there weren't any good bugtype Attacks. Pin Missile... Wooooohhh, yeah...
ReplyDeleteThe very first mention of the iconic classic Pokémon design formula on NAPACE!

Also, Beedrill is one of my very favorite Bug types even to this day, and Mega Beedrill is a stone cold killer!
ReplyDeleteThere's some things from my early posts that I regret. Giving Beedrill a 10/10 is not one of them, as time goes on I love this guy more and more
