Unlike its predecessor, Hippowdon is freaking godlike. I mean, just look at him. Rising up out of the sand like some sort of vengeful ancient monster, coming to crush your skull between his jaws. He's leaking sand from his shell/back, which is awesome. You can just imagine it slowly pouring off him as he surfaces, like when hidden pyramids and tombs rise up out of the desert. Which they do all the time, according to video games.
But yeah, in real life, a hippopotamus will mess you the heck up. They are the most dangerous creature on the Nile, hands-down. They kill more people every year than Lions, Alligators, or any other supposedly "fierce" animal in Africa. and Hippowdon definitely carries that sort of violent swagger with him. His eyes are blood red, for godsakes.
Also, I think Hippowdon and the Diglett line are the only Pokemon depicted coming out of the ground. That's gotta count for something, right?
Overall: 10/10
"Hippo in Japanese is "Kaba"! That's "Baka" backwards!"
ReplyDeleteuhm...no?
In Japanese, the don't have letters, they just have characters that stand for sounds, so Baka is the sound "Ba" and the sound "ka", so backwards, it would actually be Kaba
