Whew, finally back to just a regular Pokemon, without all the baggage the last few lines seemed to have.
It's another Fairy that is composed of literal flowers, but isn't part Grass, so that's kinda dumb. It's also essentially another "living object" Pokemon. I'm not as universally down on these as some people are, but something about Comfey bugs me. Not as badly as Klefki, but it's in that ballpark.
Just seems so artificial - if you're gonna make a lei Pokemon, couldn't you have put a lei ON a Pokemon? Or maybe do it like Exeggcute and each flower is alive, maybe with a creepy eyeball in the center? Or maybe forget about the lei, and just do something with the plumeria flower itself? Wait, now that I think of it, why isn't there a Bird-of-Paradise Pokemon? It's so damn obvious! Also, why the hell ain't there no Bellossm in Alola!? The goddamn hula dancing Pokemon??? Now I'm mad.
Comfey is better than Klefki, but in there end these single-stage hoop-shaped idiots still rub me the wrong way.
Overall: 2/10
So, you officially hate this gen, don't you?
ReplyDeleteas a game, Sun/Moon is one of the best Pokemon games ever made.
DeleteThe new crop of pokes... I have an overall opinion in mind, but I've been surprised before with how high/low the average rating for a gen turned out. So we'll see.
It only collects those flowers and puts them on it's... tail? So the pure fairy type does make sense. Or at least the fact, that it isn't part grass type
ReplyDeleteTo be fair, Klefki is part Steel even though the keys are not part of its body so I don't see why they couldn't have done the same for Comfey. They pulled the same stunt with the Flabébé line and kept it pure Fairy even though Florges literally merges with the flower. It's kind of disappointing. :/
