No. 363: Spheal

Texaco U.S. Olympic Ani-balls~

Like, seriously. Isn't this just one of those huggable, snuggable, squishable, squooshable little stuffed animals? They're filled with beans and shit, and are all balls with little limbs lamely stitched to the side. They make them in kangaroo, koala, and probably seal flavors

In case you can't guess, I don't have much respect for Spheal. Sure, more than Seel, who is an actual seal, but Spheal isn't much better. It's a ball. With flippers. Isn't there some direction they could've taken the concept "seal" that didn't turn into a soccer ball?

Seals are usually dark and sleek, for some thing. Couldn't they have made it look more like a submarine or a torpedo? That would be a cool theme.


Overall: 3/10

    "Eh, a Sahrk-torpedo is way better than a seal"

  2. He fills the "cute" category fairly better than some of the pokemon that gamefreak shoves down our throats as cute. Like with minigames/special overworld events/spin-off games that use cute pokemon, I just have to think to myself "tepig, snivy and teddiursa are supposed to be cute?! F that, give me spheal then we'll talk!"
