When Fuecoco was revealed, everyone thought he was an apple. Then people realized since he's Fire-type, he's probably supposed to be a pepper. Turns out, his evolutions don't pursue either path. He's literally just a little dude. A little dude with a big goofy grin.
Fuecoco avoids the trend of starters having comically large heads compared to their bodies, by following in Rowlet's footsteps and simply having his head fuse with his body. What he wasn't able to avoid, however, was the pieces of Kraft cheese somebody slapped to him. After Scorbunny, is this the new trend for Fire starters?
Most importantly (to me at least) is that Fuecoco being a crocodile disproves once and for all the "zodiac theory". A theory that should have been dead on arrival, since Cyndaquil was a porcupine and not a mouse, or when Fennekin was a fox and not a dog.

Overall: 9/10
Actually in post-traditional Chinese numismatology, the Snake is often called a Crocodile, so the Zodiac thing still works. At this point there's just too many that work too well for it to be a coincidence.
ReplyDeleteHehehe. Kraft Cheese.
In all honesty, probably the best starter line since Sinnoh, and I will die on that hill
ReplyDelete"since Cyndaquil was a porcupine and not a mouse" ok but can you blame people when they literally categorized It as the "Fire Mouse" Pokemon
ReplyDeleteI had a convo with a friend exactly about this actually, while talking about Pawmi:
> "it is a form of rodent"
Me: "[...] call It the marmot pokemon then, that's like calling pachirisu a mouse because It's a squirrel which Is a rodent so because a mouse Is a rodent you can call It a mouse"
The zodiac theory is such a bunch of bunk anyway. Does it go by the first stage or the final stage? Charizard is supposed to represent the dragon, but is Typhlosion supposed to be a mouse? People will stretch and call Cyndaquil the mouse, but then is Charmander, a lizard, suddenly a dragon? Not to mention Fennekin and Fuecoco burning a hole in the theory too. It's an incredibly silly case of seeing a pattern where there is none (just like any way of classifying the other starters as having some kind of theme)
ReplyDeleteMale crocodiles are called "bulls". Make with that info what you will.
