No. 854: Sinistea

 WHAT ABOUT MY Lapsang Souchong tea

You know, I forgot we were in England for a while, with all these octopi and centipedes and shit. Sinestea is a good example of "thing Pokemon" that people so often decry, but I love it. Haunted teacup, we Beauty & the Beast now. And check out that latte art swirl on the top!

Only question is... which is the Pokemon? the cup, or the liquid? The cup has a face, but the liquid is also clearly alive if you look at its animations. It's more like a slime that's inhabiting the cup. I think the face is just a coincidence, because there's actually a gimmick where some of the cups are "phony" and others are "antique". You can tell based on a tiny seal that you can only see in the Pokedex view mode. There's no difference in stats, but they take different items to evolve. Somehow I got stuck with a legit one, which is rare, but then I couldn't find any of the evolution items for the longest time...


Overall: 7/10

  1. The mon is the liquid/ goo but it's a ghost so it can affect the cup to make a face to itself.

  2. Oh, I didn't realize it until now; it's holding the broken cup handle and raising its pinky! How cute.
