No. 019: Ratatta

Even Ratatta doesn't know how to pronouce his name.

I mean, is it Rah-tah-tah, or ra-tah-taw, or ra-TA-ta, or ra-ta-tat, or what?

Like Pidgey, he is the other primary weak wild pokemon. Unlike Pidgey, I can actually stomach Ratatta. This is because he isn't just a regular animal put in a game.

Rats aren't purple, and they don't have hairy, curly tails. But his main redeeming factor? He's not as omni-present as Pidgey.

In short, he's everything I'd expect of the first enemy you meet: weak, passable yet forgettable design, and stays in the first couple routes.

Overall: 5/10
