>>20292043I could go into great length on why Sceptile is a fantastic design and easily in the top tier of Pokemon, but I'll keep it simple- it's got a very sleek, simple design that effectively calls to mind both the leaf tailed lizards and prehistoric raptors while simultaneously incorporating a clear plant theme subtler and more cleverly integrated than the typical "animal with a plant on it" or "plant with eyes" routes.
Also, that smug motherfucking face.
