No. 053: Persian

Man, why does pokemon do such bad cats?

It shouldn't be hard. Take a kitty, give it like lightning bolt whiskers, color it yellow, and call it a day. Or maybe give it like a third eye and call it Psychic Kitty.

But just taking a freaking cat and calling it a pokemon is lazy as hell. Also, notice the curled tail, reminiscent of Ratata. Evolutionary link? Either Persians and Ratata are actually decendednts of the same animal, making them evolutionary cousins, or else at some point a Persian and a Ratata had the sexy times. Either way, the historic cat/mouse feud is being disgraced.

Wait, what am I saying? Pokemon don't evolve like that! They came from space, where Arceus created them all in His own image!

You can tell its a slow day when having moot discussions about pokemon ancenstry is more interesting than discussing the actual pokemon at hand. Persian is boring.

Overall: 2/10

  1. The picture makes it look more like a ferret with a cat's head than a cat IMO...This thing was the biggest waste of space on my early pkmn Blue days; but with an overpowered Alakazam in your team having a couple useless pkmn didn't actually hurt...

  2. Alakazam could solo the entire red, blue, and yellow versions. You could have a party of persian, slowpoke, slowpoke, magikarp and onix, but as long as that last slot contained an Alakazam, you would be fine.

  4. Is my favourite and I always thought it watergun. And thunderbolt. And I am pretty sure firestorm

    Of all the Normal type-pokemon it has Place 26 so it counts for something.
