No. 846: Arrokuda

 Heathcliff was all the time eating this thing out of garbage cans

I was afraid that Arrokuda was created simply to accommodate Cramorant's gimmick, which would be fairly inexcusable - two throwaway slots for the price of decent gag? but Arrokuda is a legit Pokemon of its own, or at least it'll come into its own with its evolution.

But for now, it's just Arrokuda. Pretty much your basic fish, but with a curly Sanji eyebrow of a smile, and big goofy muppet eyes. The problem is that real life barracuda are scary mofos, so a Pokemon version of them has a lot to live up to, and Arrokuda doesn't quite get there. It's still stuck in "generic fish" territory, after all.


Overall: 4/10

  1. "two throwaway slots for the price of decent gag?" People who want a game that officially introduces Slowbro's Shellder as a separate Pokémon entered the chat.
