Daily Pokemon Discussions

I didn't know about Outrage, but it can apparently learn Dragon Tail now. It seems like the moves it can learn are like: Plain old Grass-type moves, defensive power emphasis, meh-ish physical stuff, MIGHTY FEARSOME REPTILLIAN POWER, more plainness.
 
Today's Pokemon

Lapras

Lapras


I thought of this one after recently rewatching an old Pokemon episode (Holiday Hijinx) and Lapras is my new fav water type. Reasons: Lapras knows how to use telepathy and I never knew.

Move tutor HGSS.


Anyways, Lapras. A guaranteed Pokemon in RBY/FRLG, water ice, bulky, and typical water-type movepool for something of it's size, with the little quirks of it's species being telepathic.

NOT SAYIN' ANYMORE!
 
Meganium seems ok, but not my favorite by far. It kinda pales in comparison to the other two Johto starters in my opinion.

I've always liked Lapras, but I'm not really sure why. It has a nice design.
 
Meganium's alright in my book. I have one named Lotus in my SoulSilver. Meganium seems to be overshadowed by Typhlosion and Feraligatr, though. I find that its evolution line almost always seems to female in fanon, the anime, and even in the Mystery Dungeon games, despite having the same male to female ratio as any other starter. >:

As for design, Meganium has an easy on the eye color scheme, but doesn't especially stand out. I like the bud to leaf to flower evolution motif, though, which seems to be common in grass types. Always liked the idea of how its breath appearently could bring dead plants back to life.

So, Meganium has an alright design, but isn't especially interesting.

I'm surprised Lapras has remained a single stage. I really like its design, but I don't have much to say besides that.
 
I like Lapras a bunch. Mainly because it's a fairly versatile water type and it's telepathic.

Also, if it either evolved, got a baby form, or both, it would be interesting to see and I wouldn't be upset... unless they royally screwed with it.
 
New day, new 'mon.


Mothim

Second favourite moth, and one of most favourite bugs.

DISCUSS!
 
Mothim was... eh. It was pretty cool looking, but it wasn't as versatile as bugs before/after it, imo. It's a bit overshadowed by its better counterparts.
 
Mothim. I personally dislike him, mainly because of the moths. I don't like moths. Butterfree, Dustox, and Beutifly ftw!!!!
 
Lapras: Beautiful, majestic, good stats that make sense for the type combination, and Water Absorb! I still remember using it against Gary's Gyarados in Fire Red. But why doesn't it learn Iron Defence?


Mothim looks sort of similar to Butterfree. But his stat distribution is more about offensive stats, and he steels honey. So pretty much meh.

Dustox is a moth.

Looks more like a butterfly, Dustox does...

Is Volcarona a better example of a moth?


Anyway, Mothim compared to the other moths:
Not weirded up and uglified like Dustox, but has low Special Defence
Plain meh in comparison with Venomoth
Very far from being as magnificent as Volcarona

And he's sleek. Aren't moths supposed to be fluffy? This guy's exoskeleton is shiny!
 
A question for Blazer: Do you mean moths as in small brown insects that eat clothes, or as in fluffy butterfly things that sometimes have feather-shaped antennas?


If Mothim didn't have the weirded up antennas, it would look like a butterfly.
 
I like Mothim's design, but I was under the impression that he was not that greatto battle with... Oh well
 
New Day! So the generator says...

Roselia!

I'm a personal fan. Back on my first game, (Diamond), it's pre-evolulution Budew was my first caught pokemon that never left my team. I had even kept it a Roselia! Although that was mostly because I didn't know Roselia evolved with a stone...
 
Roselia's alright, but I prefer the rest of its line to it. I think it's the only single-stage Pokemon to go to a three stage line in one generation, though. I do like how the asymmetrical flower colors are kept throughout the whole line. Yep, even in Budew!

Roselia's sexual dimorphism is probably one of the harder ones to notice. I agree with Blastoise that I wasn't expect it to be only a foot tall.
