No. 684: Swirlix

what the heck is this crap

some sort of dubstep cotton candy? is that what this is supposed to be? I don't even see visible hands here. and it's another pink blob. look, Gamefreak, it doesn't help matters if you try to take all your repetitive pink normal-type whatevers, and just make them Fairy-type whatevers. They're slightly more useful, sure, but they're still all pretty homogeneous.

Now, some people may wonder why I'm so hard on this cotton candy dipshit, when I liked the ice cream cone mon. well, Vanillite at least had the decency to tie ice cream, snow, cones, and icicles into one neat package. But Swirlix is just a lump of sugar floss. there's nothing clever going on here at all.


Overall: 2/10

  1. Yeah, I was pretty happy with how they retyped others to being Fairy (Granbull, Clefairy, Togekiss, Gardevoir, Whimsicott, etc), and I was happy with some of the interesting Fairy types they came up with (Klefki, Karbink, Xerneas, etc).

    But Slurpuff and Spritzee and whatever are just lazy and terrible.

    Well, it's somewhat doggish at least.

  4. An ingenious pun on how some people refer to cotton candy as "fairy floss".

    1. Pun or no, it's still a blob of cotton candy with feet and a derp face.

  5. boo. The reason I like this one and hate the stupid ice cream is because of the face. The ice cream line's face is all "derp look we glued some googly eyes on ice cream and its a pokemon" while this one is passable
