No. 144: Articuno

And so we begin our descent into the legendaries of the first generation.

Okay, first things first, in Japan, Articuno is named Freezer. Or, phonetically, Freeza. That's right, just the same as Freezer/Frieza from DBZ. Same katakana.

So Articuno is Frieza, that's pretty cool. (get it? get it?)

But the rest of Articuno is not that impressive. Big ol' tail, yeah, tiny beak, I don't know... if they had gone all the way, and made him a giant snowy owl, like in that animated Sinbad movie, then things could've been amazing.

But as it is, Articuno is just meh.

Overall: 5/10
