I'm a Bramblin' Man
It's funny how in Pokemon, the desert areas are almost always associated with Ghost-types (as well as Ground). "Ancient ruins hidden by the sand" seems to be the theme, although in this case I think the reasoning is that it's like a lonely tumbleweed rolling through a deserted western town... a ghost town, if you will.
But, I fear Bramlin might be my Vanilluxe. I liked that icy bastard, but where other people said "oh my god its literally just an ice cream cone" I see Bramblin and think "oh my god its literally just a tumbleweed". Which isn't accurate, I know - a real tumbleweed wouldn't have so much empty space inside, much less any floating eyes.
But that just makes me think, is a tumbleweed really that interested to be the entire concept? It's Ghost-type, but I don't see much spookiness. If anything, the shape reminds me of Chandelure, and then I'm thinking about a much cooler Pokemon. Which is also an object-mon, but for some reason it's different. I liked Minior, too, which is also very similar. Not sure why Bramlin just leaves me so cold.
idk, I think it could have used a jaunty cowboy hat, or maybe it should be a little imp running around inside the tumbleweed-cage, like a hamster ball.
Overall: 4/10
finally another post. bramblin's kinda wacky and I don't care for It too much
ReplyDeletethat said, I'm surprised to hear you like the Vanillite line?? they are some of my favorite pokemon ever and I was always curious your opinion on It but never finished going through the archives ( cus If I did I'd run out of stuff to read here ;_; ). I definitely think the Ice creams are misunderstood. I find them all very cute
see, " with face" mons aren't terrible to me, especially when the face Is something like Electrode, because I think expressions can go a long way. you can be expressive through the face or through body language. that's why pokemon with neither, like this one, or Nacli, usually aren't great
