So, evolution for Lickitung, right? Should be pretty easy, he's not that complicated. Let's make his tongue proportionally smaller to the rest of his body! Wait, what? Gamefreak? Sit down, we need to talk.
Look - you do remember Lickitung, right? Giant tongue, pink body, that's his entire gimmick? Yeah? So, what the hell were you thinking when you made Lickilicky? You just needed to make a guy with an absolutely massive tongue, or two tongues, or something (or better yet left the poor guy alone), but no. You made a fat person, and gave them a tongue that is large, but not as large as Lickitung's.
Can you even hear what your ideas sound like in your head before you put them down on paper, Gamefreak? Or at least then look at the paper before you put them in the game? Because you might have a condition. There is no reason for such an easy evolution to be screwed up in such a way. Do you see what you did? You made his - don't look away from me, Gamefreak - you made his tongue smaller. What the goddamn shit. You stupid sightless morons.
I don't think I really need to say anything else. When you evolve a Pokemon whose entire gimmick is his huge tongue, and that gimmick gets smaller for no reason, then you know someone fundamentally did not understand what they were doing. Christ.
Overall: 1/10
I think they may have given this evolution explosion solely because they thought it was a mistake to make it in the first place.
ReplyDeleteThis is my least favorite Pokemon. Does it even deserve a 1? I mean, holy fucking shit, look at this guy. Seriously, what in the fucking world was Gamefreak thinking?
ReplyDeleteAccording to the Pokédex in Diamond/Pearl:
ReplyDelete"It wraps things with its extensible tongue. Getting too close to it will leave you soaked with drool."
I guess it's tongue extends. With that said, I would assume it also retracts.
Gaaawd!
ReplyDeleteI hate it so much that it ztook me a while to even comprehend that we reached this far.
Some of the afterthoughts 18 are bad but seriously this is the one I hate the most!
If you pay attention to the sizes of the Pokemon according to the Pokedex... Lickilicky's tongue is actually the same size as Lickitung's. So it didn't get smaller. But that doesn't mean they couldn't have made it bigger.
