What time is it? Post time! I was having some trouble thinking of a post today, so I went to the Pokemon website to check for any new news about the upcoming games. But while I was looking around at things, I accidentally clicked the "surprise me" button in the Pokedex. The first Pokemon that showed up was Bellibolt. I thought this was funny, because I've always been a bit conflicted about this Pokemon. Now, it's very obvious that Bellibolt is supposed to be seen as a cute Pokemon. But I think it looks a bit strange, and the Pokedex entries are weird too. Firstly, its eyes aren't actually eyes. The real eyes are the small nose-like dots above the mouth, and the "eyes" on the sides of its head are actually just organs for storing electricity. I honestly think this Pokemon only needed two differences to make it truly cute. I think this Pokemon would be much cuter if it didn't have a giant gray plate on its stomach, and if it didn't have false eyes. The false eyes are kind of creepy right now, but they would've been so much cuter as something that looked like double buns. A double bun design would've matched so well with Iono's design too, since Bellibolt was introduced with her. Along with this, the belly pattern would've been fine if it was a different color. If it was something that matched the rest of the design, it would look way better than the giant annoying gray blob right in the middle of all of that green, orange, and yellow. All in all, I think this Pokemon is a good example of wasted potential. That makes me sad, because it could've been so cute! But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. As always, I'll be including a picture of Iono and Bellibolt below as an example. Enjoy!
