Well, as promised, I'm slightly disappointed that Empoleon isn't sporting an awesome suit. Instead, he's got some stupid cravat, or whatever that thing is.
But besides that, Empoleon is looking pretty legit. Water-Steel is a unique type, and though at first I was all "shouldn't a penguin be at least part ice?" I realized that Water-Ice is overplayed as balls, and a penguin with razor-sharp fins is the sort of crazed fever-dream that could only be the best friend of a small child in the Pokemon universe.
Plus, that crown is a sure sign of Big Pimping.
But the best part is Empoleon's gaze. You can tell he's a stone cold killer of a monarch, who would sacrifice his own son for the sake of his crown. You gotta make those tough calls when you've got an entire nation to run.
Overall: 9/10
You know, I always imagined this guy as a poser, before 2 things.
ReplyDelete1. Found out he was Water-STEEL
2. Saw an epic 3-4 min gif of a sketch of him fighting Rayquaza, and winning.
