Whimsicott was not enough, we have to take another stab at this cotton thing, and surprisingly I'm here for it. I gotta say that I love the way Eldegoss's cotton is drawn, with the soft coloring and broken lines. It has a very sketchy feeling to it, one we haven't seen in Pokemon drawings in a long time.
It looks like Roselia mixed with Swadloon, with of course that huge cotton ball on its head. Nothing related to its previous form, which I approve of, because that one sucked. But I like how it looks like it's got a big brain, or gigantic hairdo. I know cotton is light, which is why the design doesn't feel unbalanced. And its eyes slightly resemble the seeds, which is a neat touch.
Overall: 6/10
It's nice to see you just appreciate a design's merits.
ReplyDeleteYou've been killing it with the amount of uploads lately, man. It's much appreciated.
Doesn't cotton-picking have racist conotations?
ReplyDeleteAnyway Eldegoss is fine, it's just a shame that its stats are trash.
Especially when you see Eldegoss as having an afro.
Delete1) A plant of cotton is something that existed in nature long before American slavery
Delete2) That's not an afro, it's the way a cotton plant is made. Whimsicott is the more racist here, with its brown skin.
I was unclear, I was refering to the expression "cotton-picking minute" not to Eldegoss itself.
DeleteThank you Straw Hat Samurai for the change.
>Whimsicott was not enough
ReplyDeleteThere's also Jumpluff's line, but yeah. I like Eldegoss and Gossifleur moreso.
A fun fact Is that Eldegoss walks extremely slow when In camp, which actually Isn't very fun.
Also, agreed with Pim. So nice to see you on a good routine now.
