pokémon smash or pass
yeah we're doing this
smashes will be marked with a 💥 emoji, passes won't be specially marked but may still recieve commentary
generation I
although the first generation is still one of my favorites in terms of pokemon designs, most of those designs aren't favorites in the "smash" sense. this is maybe the least yassified generation of them all. still, expect some stupid smashes here.
- bulbasaur - it may come as a disappointment but i have little to say about the kanto starters, they're all polite passes
- ivysaur
- venusaur
- charmander
- charmeleon
- charizard
- squirtle
- wartortle
- blastoise
- caterpie 💥 - sets the tone doesn't it? granted caterpie is a very light smash, but i've seen a few cute fats of it. this is largely because it's so early in the dex and although most "fatten every mon" projects don't get very far they usually reach the early kanto bugs.
- metapod
- butterfree 💥 - not the cutest butterfly mon but still ok, plus it benefits from the same bias as caterpie.
- weedle - not as cute as caterpie imo
- kakuna 💥 - look there's this ONE drawing where it's interpreted as a cute little fella in a suit and uh, uhm, shut up
- beedrill 💥 - yeah i'm hip! unfortunately there are only a few bee pokemon and none of them are truly perfect. beedrill at least has dat abdomen, but really it's just another narrow smash.
- pidgey - it's at this point i must admit that i'm not into most bird furries (featheries?) at all... it's the beaks that are the big deal-breaker, i think.
- pidgeotto
- pidgeot
