No. 457: Lumineon

...whoa, dude...


Lumineon is totally spaced out right now. Look at him, if you called him out against a Groudon or something he'd be all "Hey, whoa... it's like some kinda big spiky dinosaur... haha, is this real" and would just stare at it hazily.

But while he is still a pointless filler Pokemon, I feel a little bit kinder towards Lumineon. It at least looks unlike anything else, what with the giant angelfish-esque wings. The thing is, there are a whole lot of cool and unique looking fish in the sea. The problem is, most of them ought to be just solitary Water type, and having a ton of those is bad. So unfortunately there's a lot of neat sea-creature designs that just shouldn't be used, because they'd end up being too similar to a niche we already have filled.

Creating these niches anew is one thing, like what the 5th Generation that we will get to in good time set out to do, but for the 4th? When Goldeen and Seaking are still things, it's hard to justify Finneon and Lumineon's existences.


Overall: 2/10
