Skunks are foul, foul creatures. They do awful things to lawns and garbage, and get away with it because if you piss them off they just fart on you, and there's nothing you can do about it. Then you have to bathe in tomato juice or something.
And that's reflected in Stunky. It's Dark/Poison, which is the most evil of combinations. Dark-types are jerks, or at least foul-tempered, and Poison-types are Team Rocket's bread and butter. They're also usually up to no good. So a Dark/Poison is like Bad News Bears V: Skunkpocalypse.
Besides that, Stunky looks pretty much just like a skunk. Which is to say, like a sour asshole. I guess his tail is crazy, and he had sinister bags under his eyes. But they definitely got across the "I be a skonk and a critter wut don't get skeered of a skonk aint exist yet" attitude, for what it was worth. It's a fine skunk, but here's the thing: I hate skunks.
Overall: 5/10
This skunk has a cry that sounds like a fart and a face that looks like an ass. This is essentially your least favorite animal with an ass for a face. What does that say about your 1/10's?
ReplyDeletewell, he did throw the dark/poison thing into the equation. It may be a lame Pokemon, but at least they got the idea across that this guy is an asshole, that's at least worth something.
ReplyDeleteAlso, we never had a skunk Pokemon until Stunky, so it doesn't get dragged into the 1/10 zone, which are usually dominated by critters that have worthless types, are completely useless in the game AND already exist in some form.
