No. 323: Camerupt

Camels are actually terrifying. Look it up, true fact.

The first thing I notice when I see Camerupt is its three blue rings. Why are they there? They don't mean anything. They don't contribute to any color scheme. They aren't associated with camels, volcanoes, fire, ground, or anything.

It's a textbook case of a fine design having needless shit added to it. I don't know why Gamefreak seems to be more prone to this in the 3rd and 4th generations, but they are. This isn't "over-designed", rather, just having random spots and bands on it.

Still, even with the rings, he looks like he means business, so that's better than dumb 'ol Numel.


Overall: 7/10

  2. Have you ever seen a live camel, up close? Have you? Because until you have, you don't know true horror.
