No. 354: Banette

Zip those lips

I love zipper mouths! They're this neat combination of cute and freaky.

But squarely on the "freaky" side is all the Pokedex entries about Banette. All of them mention how it is a plush doll that just got SO FRIGGING MAD about being abandoned that it came to life and became a Pokemon. Which, aside from being the plot of several slasher films, is also pretty impossible, because I know for a fact it comes from Shuppet.

Not some unearthly grudge against the living.

See, that's the thing about Ghost Pokemon. They ought to be regular "animals" with spooky themes and sometimes gaseous bodies, but their descriptions make them into full-on spirits and demons and such. Stop making Pokemon so serious!

said the man who reviews them in great detail every day.


Overall: 6/10
