Gigantamax no. 14: Orbeetle

FIVE GOLDEN ORBS
It's weird that the U.S. Navy basically confirmed that they've seen UFOs (or UAPs as they're apparently called nowadays) and the president got so spooked he created a Space Force, and the general response from the public was "ok"

like, I know we've been busy with a lot of terrible shit lately, but it feels a bit like that should have been bigger news? Or at least more worth questioning why we need to put astronauts with guns out there?

Gigantamax Orbeetle is an extension of Orbeetle's design, but while I liked that one I think they needed to fully abandon the "body" to make this work. Simply use Orbeetle's face on the front of the UFO body, and leave it at that. Having useless limbs dangling in front just looks silly.

And I still think they could just make a dedicated UFO Pokemon instead of merging concepts like this...


Overall: 400/1000

  1. It's wayyy too mechanical for my taste.

    Anyway, UAP means "unidentified aerial phenomenon", I think. And they released a list of all of them over the last several years. Thing is, they were mostly just that. Weird shit happening in the air. That's not aliens, it's something a pilot saw that confused him.

    And I'm pretty sure Space Force is more "shooting down gps sattelites", than "astronauts duking it out in space" like in Moonraker.

    Can we talk apout how dumb it is that only some Orbeetles get their gigantamax form? Why wouldn't all of them get it?
