Drawing and Reviewing a Random Pokémon #3: Shedinja

Shedinja -- 7/10

I always thought Shedinja's gimmick was soooo cool. The way it evolves is super unique and also kind of creepy, especially if you didn't know about it. Its ability is lots of fun to play with and strategize around. It is literally a husk of its former self and I've never cared a fraction of the amount for Ninjask that I do for Shedinja. I also didn't have any Hoenn games as a kid until Alpha Sapphire, so not only was it a unique mon, but it was rare too.

So anyway I think Shedinja would be a shy fellow and enjoy the company of toys and dolls. And possibly balancing them on their halo and spinning it around and showing them off to people.

Drawing and Reviewing a Random Pokémon #2: Stonjourner

Stonjourner -- Rating: 5/10

Stonjourner, to put it bluntly, is the definition of a nothingburger pokemon to me. I always forget it exists until I see it in game, to which I react with "oh, right. this is a pokemon... why is it a version exclusive again?"

Looking at it, there's nothing wrong with its design. It's not ugly or offensive or derivative. I just feel nothing. Not hate, not love. My favorite part of this mon is its laced booty feet. That's pretty cute ngl. The way it is proportioned with 90% leg and no knees so it's constantly waddling around and crushing small creatures under its stumps. That's pretty funny too.

But the rest of it is so... nothing, that it's not enough for me to like it. Again, I don't dislike it. 5 out of 10 is not bad, it's completely average. I'm violently neutral about this pokemon.

Drawing and Reviewing a Random Pokémon #1: Popplio

Today I have impulsively decided to draw and review a randomly generated pokémon every ... whenever I feel like it :)

Popplio --- Rating: 8/10

Popplio's design is cute and simple, but not so simple that it's boring or bland. She isn't just a seal, but she isn't an overdesigned mess either. She's a silly little guy with a honk honk clown nose and that frilly neck thing. Love <3

When Sun and Moon were first revealed, I was smitten with Rowlet. Now, I have to be honest, Popplio has significantly grown on me over the years and become my favorite Alolan starter. The first stage Alolan starters are all really solid ngl. But Popplio is just so unapologetically happy and playful and I love that. She has good vibes, and you know that she's the kind of friend that would notice when you're feeling sad and try to cheer you up by balancing bubbles on her nose while juggling Pincurchin. If she was a person, she'd be 5'1" and bouncing around with trampoline shoes all the while flawlessly belting out a trombone solo. Basically she's Pinkie Pie coded

It's probably been done before, but every time I talk to Shino I am reminded that the resemblance is uncanny

I get different vibes from the sore losers of the Johto region

Btw I don't know who's in charge of officiating pokemon ship names... but I put forward "SoreLoserShipping" for these two if it isn't already taken... the only gym leaders (to my knowledge??) that refuse to give you your badge right away, and they're both strong Johto ladies. They should smooch.
