No. 691: Dragalge

You know, there was a time when Pokemon were easy for 2nd graders to draw.

I like Dragalge more than Skrelp, because it's got that flowing stuff and could almost look majestic or whatever. The flower-ish thing on its head is kinda strange, but I guess it's supposed to be an imitation of the imitation flower that those real life sea horses have? which is actually a pretty silly thing, when you think about it. Like, Dragalge has no real need to look like some kelp, it just does because it's hearkening back to an existing animal. Which itself is doing its damndest to look like something else. Which is probably trying its hardest to look appealing to other kelp, or something. Is that how kelp reproduce? I don't know. It's crazy, is what I'm trying to say.

Speaking of crazy, Dragon/Poison is just bizonkers, as far as type combos go. Especially with the new Fairy type, it's just got a weird set of weaknesses.

Skrelp was ugly, but Dragalge pulls through by NOT looking like a turd, but instead some ugly brown algae trailing in the current. Which, not that I think of it, isn't really that much of an improvement. But still.


Overall: 5/10

  1. Come to think of it, why would you need to disguise yourself if you're already poisonous. Wouldn't that mean that the skrelp line should look brighter?
