No. 820: Greedent

Greed isn't Good.

So first off, looking at Greedent's ears, they seem to be oriented sideways. Which may have been the case for Skwovet, who I perhaps misjudged. But what I have written, I have written.

Greedent at least tries to up the fluffiness factor with all those untamed hairs rising out of its tail, but at this point they feel tacked on in arbitrary places. It's especially clear on the 3D model, nobody would be tricked for an instant into thinking that tail had any amount of fluff to it. They just look like spikes. And as a connoisseur of fluffy tails, I have to say that's a disappointment.

Heightening this displeasure is the fact that Greedent canonically stores candy and shit in its tail. Getting all covered with hair and squirrel-stink. And there's nothing appealing about a Pokemon that is essentially the backseat of a family minivan. French fries and fruit cup lids stuck under the seat. Sand everywhere. Random forgotten broken toys. Old lollipops gathering lint and dirt. Never have children, my dear readers. Your life will cease to be your own, and everything you own will become sticky and broken.

Look, forget this big chungus bitch, let's move on to some better Pokemon.


Overall: 1/10

  1. At least they tried to give it a trait other than generic-first-route-normal-type

  2. Did they? What's the other trait?
    To me it seems to be 100%,unadulterated generic-first-route-normal-type. It doesn't even do any moves that are interesting. It swallows. And it sucks.

    Just once I'd wish a route one beaver whatever would grow up to be something cool.

  4. It does have a gimmick, it's true. The last time that happened was Patrat who, uh, Looks At Stuff.

    they finally figured out the birds, if only they could do the same for the rodents...
