Let's Talk About Pokemon - Seel and Dewgong

 



Refrigerate after opening.

086: Seel

This here is honestly probably the evolutionary line I most readily forget exists. Seel's not bad, but it's not got much going at all, does it? An all plain-white seal with a horn and tusks to mix it up, but it's not really enough. The only visual motif it has is that its pose and tail looks a bit like a water spout, but even that's not enough to carry it. Especially now in the 3D games where it doesn't even stand like that anymore. I think it's telling when your creature's name is just the animal it's based on, but misspelled.


What no new merch does to a mfer

087: Dewgong

And its evolution doesn't even significantly change it much. In fact, it pretty much gets rid of the water spout thing and replaces it with nothing, other than maybe vaguely resembling a mermaid. I guess it's also going for a more literal interpretation of how people often call seals "sea dogs", with its puppy face. But eh. Nothing about it moves me any. It's the most 5/10 of all the 5/10s.

Personal Score: 5/10
