So yeah, another butterfly. we've seen this before, and it's getting old. Hell, it got old the second goddamn time. It's ancient freaking history. By now, turning in a Bug/Flying type in the early game is practically paleolithic.
yet, Vivillon brings one quirk to an otherwise completely unnoticeable Pokemon - collectible colors schemes!
Mine was High Plains, which is alright. I like the look of Continental and Elegant a lot, as well as Sun and Polar. The rest are fine, except Monsoon and Ocean, which are just a little too pixel-art for me. Although the Pokeball design is kinda neat.
But yeah. Vivillon learns a better set of moves than Butterfree, and is just plain better stat-wise. And it carries the pixel-powder theme from its previous forms. So actually, maybe it's better than I thought. Maybe this is Butterfree done right. and I can't hate a Pokemon that's literally just an improvement on something I slammed long ago. It's a rehash for sure, but it actually is somewhat decent (almost) this time around. so that deserves credit.
Overall: 7/10
This Pokemon pisses me off. Mainly because I was really expecting something super cool for the 666th Pokemon, but Gamefreak gave us yet another butterfly, only this time with more colors. Also, I feel that Gen 5 finally got the moth/butterfly Pokemon right with Vulcarona, and then ruined it with this guy. I mean, he's not actually horrible, more like a disappointment.
