>>53995554>Hey, you know the Maril/Azumaril line? Those fan favorite Pokémon from the anime and Gen 2 games that people like?>Yeah>I was thinking that we should give them a new member to the line>Sounds good. Azumaril’s stats are a little low so a third stage sounds good>Nah, nah, let’s give Maril a pre-evolution >Wait, why? Azumaril’s stats are already more like a mid stage. What does this pre-evolution do?>Lets make the pre-evolution have a worse typing and no moves worth transferring up>Why? That’s terrible! >Don’t worry we’ll make it hard to get so players have to go out of their way to get it. Maybe require a special item. >But… What’s the design?>Lets make it look depressed as fuck and like it couldn’t survive more than 5 seconds out of the egg. Just to be sure let’s also give it a stupid ass name that ruins the line’s naming scheme and a fucked up gender ratio for no reason. Azuril has no reason to exist. Maril is one of my favorite pokemon and Azumaril is a real one but I HATE Azuril with a burning passion. Everything about it seems precision designed to make me specifically angry.
