So I empathize with Swadloon, I really do. The world is a cold, dark place, and if I could just huddle up in a blanket all the time, that would be pretty nice.
Unfortunately, that's also the path of the weak and spineless. Lackluster plebeians who can't face the world, hiding away - that ain't my style. Being a shut-in is for turbo nerds who can't handle how kickass reality is! Carpe Diem, Seize the Day!
...um, well. I find it kinda odd that every single 3-stage Bug Pokemon undergoes the larva-cocoon-adult process in some way. I mean, perhaps that's because a shit-ton of bugs really do that, but couldn't you be more imaginative? Wrapping up with leaves is a unique way of representing it, so I'm not super complaining, but I am getting a little bored with the trend. It's even worse that for some reason Salamence and Tyranitar had to go through that crap, they're dragons, not even bugs! What gives!?
Overall: 4/10
Technically, this is the state in life in which the insect has to stay inside a cocoon or else it will die. The salamence is based on how every animal without wings at birth gets them later in life. Larvitar is just something they made when they decided to try and make a Godzilla/Mothra hybrid but gave up on the idea and went for Godzilla. Imagine how awful a butterfly winged tyranitar would look.
ReplyDeleteAt least Bug/Grass is an OK combo, instead of the oft-repeated bug/poison.
ReplyDeletebut 4x weakness to fire sucks balls.
ReplyDeletebarely anyone i know uses grass/bug types.
