Came across this monster in Pinball RS the other day. I mean, seriously, what is going on with this Graveler? It looks like it has fingernails or something and it's kinda freaking me out.
Wait... is that a
Graveler?! I had to look twice before I believed it to even be an actual Pokemon sprite.
I like to play Pokemon games multiple times, but never want to restart. In addition to buying both versions as a simple solution, sometimes this is simply not enough. So I buy games double, and I try to create teams consisting of Pokemon that I haven't used in a playthrough before. Well, me and foxes go way back. My most ancient relic of early childhood, one that I still own and cherish, is a fox plush. Back then, my favourite movie used to be the Fox and the Hound, contrary to all the other kids (who all preferred the Lion King). My grandmother lives in the city of the fox Reinaert, and I have spent a lot of time there growing up. Needless to say, I was bound to play through some of the games with
Ninetales or
Delphox at some point, and I was actually looking forward to it. Until I saw their 6th Generation models, that is.
Ninetales, once graceful and fluffy, now seems to have had her tails turned into rubber. I am mourning the beautiful and elegant BW sprite. Rest in peace.
Delphox irks me more because of its design as opposed to its 3D model per se. I loved Fennekin and Braixen, but man, what a disappointment Delphox was. Once you have seen the similarities between her dress and a mustache, there is no going back.
