No. 293: Whismur

a "daily" blog that averages less than half an update per day? Must be Not all Pokemon are Created Equal!

Whismur is the kind of pink shit that really grinds my gears. It doesn't even have eyes, for godssake. It's the first in a series of "noise" gimmick Pokemon, which will all prove to be shitty and wastes of time. Well, most of them.

Because "noise" isn't a type. It's just a regular Normal move that somehow has an added feature of being noisy. This means that there are some Pokemon who are Soundproof, meaning it just doesn't frigging work on them, and also all "noise" moves wake up sleeping Pokemon, something that is widely regarded as "a stupid thing to do, you jackass."

and it's not like the moves are any better! They're just kind there. You could do better with other Normal STAB moves, but of course you'd still have a Normal-type on your hands, and I honestly have no idea why you'd want that. Masochistic, maybe?

in any case, Whismur has eyes like a clown caricature, a mouth that rightly looks like it's going to burst into tears, and an uncomfortable amount of orifices on its body.

Overall: 1/10
