No. 269: Dustox

getting my daily dose, it seems.

Dustox really shouldn't have to be a thing, but since he is, let's just talk about him on his own merits, okay?

First off, I don't believe those are wings. That is a lily pad. Next, his eyes have 3 pupils each, which is more than the regulation standard. Additionally, one such eye-plate would make a badass eyepatch, but as actual eyes I don't like them. He has french bread coming out of his head, and his legs are actually tiny little wormy finger things.

In short, he is a conglomeration of random elements that, when put together, don't suggest anything remotely insectoid to me. Is he supposed to be some kind of poison moth? No bug in the world has wings like that. Dustox has a lot of shit going on, and none of it makes any sort of sense whatsoever.

It is a terrible design and the person who designed it should feel terrible.


Overall: 1/10

  1. Bad day or something? I mean, I don't like it that much myself, but it's design is way more original than many others. Don't get what your sudden rant is about, at point's you compliment stuff like this.

  2. originality =/= quality.

    and perhaps I have praised the jumble of many features before, because they all worked well together in the end. But Dustox looks like a shitty pinata. Nothing is working together with his design.

  3. Quit your bitching. Dustox looks cool as Pokemon, but he's weak at battlefield. HE IS weak because of the stats (expect from Special Defense which is at reasonable levels) and useless learning moves such as Psybeam. At last Protect and Moonlight are at least a very useful moves that can save your ass anytime, but only if you use them together. However Protect is not a "miracle-type" move like Endeavor which can save weak Pokemon.
