Yeah, I've been saying for a while that they should make Stantler an Ice-type, we don't have any reindeer Pokemon and -
oh. it's Normal/Psychich, not Ice at all? I guess that's more of a "wise old sage" beard than a "Santa Claus" beard. Well, that's disappointing.
Although, I may have to give points for being a reliable steed during most of Arceus: Legends. The way it handles like an ATV helps to open up the game in a big way, jumping up hills and out-running hostile Pokemon. That's important, because an open-world game like this lives or dies on "is it fun to traverse the environment".
On the other hand, I don't like its jowls. And the horns have gotten too abstracted from the "false eyes" gimmick, now they're like antennae for broadcasting psychic attacks? Actually hold up, that sounds sick. Maybe Wyrdeer might be cool, actually??? But it still feels like a waste when Girafarig already exists in Gen 2 as the Normal/Psychic ungulate.
Overall: 4/10
It's a bit too shaving cream for me.
ReplyDeleteI also feel like it doesn't look sufficiently stronger than Stantler. More of a regional form than an evolution, really.
As transport, it's great. Big points for how quick it is to mount/dismount. Really helps when gathering resources.
I find It more Interesting than the original
ReplyDeleteYou've got a point there. Stantler is boring as shit.
