and electric rodent. huh. Well, at least it's got that Fairy sub-type, making it somewhat better than any other of the many Pikachu ripoffs, but at the same time...
holy flaming crap balls, it's another Pikachu ripoff.
Gamefreak, why do you do this? Why do you create these things, bring them into a world that wants them not? And it keeps happening. Once or twice I can understand, the staff got drunk and forgot they had already made Pikachu so they did it again, but goddamn FOUR TIMES IN A ROW???
are you INSANE? are you OUT OF YOUR MIND? do you WANT me to have to come over there and rip your EYEBROWS off!?
I hope I don't have to say anything about Dedenne's design itself. Looks too much like Pikachu, antenna whiskers would be neat if they didn't look busy and random, ears are tacked on, tail is just there being stupid, there was no thought whatsoever put into this Pokemon at any stage of the design.
oh god, I just realized - having a Fairy sub-type is becoming the go-to "this Pokemon sucks but here's something you don't see too often maybe now you'll accept it?" thing, isn't it.
Overall: 1/10
They made it a special attacking Fairy-type, but its only Fairy-type attack is Play Rough. It doesn't even get Dazzling Gleam from the TM, which is really stupid because Vileplume of all things gets it. And this is the worst part of Dedenne. It's like it was specifically added so that they wouldn't go a generation without making a competitively useless Pokemon. And so that Wigglytuff wouldn't be the #1 worst fully evolved Fairy-type.
ReplyDeleteIf they really wanted to make the next Pikachu, they wouldn't just have Pikachu still be the mascot of everything anyway. They're just churning out these half-assed clones for no apparent reason. I honestly don't know why they insist on having them completely suck. If they made the Light Ball work on all of them, that would actually be pretty good, but they really just don't care.
And I just realized something even worse, they gave Pikachu Disarming Voice as an egg move. Disarming Voice is obviously a horrible move, but because of the Light Ball, this automatically means that Pikachu is even better than Dedenne at being an Electric/Fairy attacker. (Because it only gets Play Rough...)
DeletePikachu: Classic
ReplyDeletePichu: pre-evolution...meh
Plusle/Minun: At least it had the double battle thing going for it...
Pachrisu: Nothing to offer
Emolga: Flying..?
Dedenne: The complete worst.
I just created two topics about this in a forum. One that has to do with Pichu and Raichu being neglected and the other on if the light ball should work on the electric rodents. Why create more of this things really if they are only going to look like Pikachu and get no boost from any item. They should make light ball work on all electric rodents considering they are all ment to be Pikachus. I don't buy the version mascot argument being the sole reason why Pikachu should get to use the light ball. If they are going to make more electric rodents make them recieve boosts from the light ball, seriously. Doesn't have to double everthing since pluse, minum and Raichu would destroy everthing that can't outspeed them nor KO them. Just do accomodations to make them better.
