Reminder that these were literally only created to be water filler.

They’re good for Speed EV training since they give 2 and you can find them really early on at low levels (at least in B2W2.)

I love these angry fish. I wish they were more common, and I'm happy they appear in USUM as lake dwellers.

If USUM got one thing right, it's fishing distribution. No more 1% chance at things, and in most cases, the bubbling spots make the rarer Pokémon the most common catch now.

No it was designed as a generic pure Water by a roastie, but thankfully men were smart enough to give it a unique typing.

Only Blue Stripe. Red Stripe Basculin already existed when they realized they needed more fish and split it in two.

I really like their designs too.

I prefer Red Stripe. The round eye is way more intense and makes the design feel more aggressive. Blue looks more bitter to me.
I'm also a little bothered by Blue Stripe's first fin being jagged despite the rest all being slick.

I like both though.

Basculin is a shitty Pokémon, and a perfect example of why Gen 5 was one of the worst generations. The Gen 5 Pokédex was filled with many useless Pokémon with terrible designs, with no option to use anything else until postgame/the sequels. Fuck Basculin.

Your opinion isn’t the only thing that matters, Anon. The stats I admit are nowhere near optimal but they were supposed to be able to be encountered throughout the entire game, so having super high stats wouldn’t really make sense.

So they could have been given an evolution so they're not Dunsparce-tier
Or a unique ability to make up for this
But no, they, like most other Gen 5 Pokemon, were developed not with creativity and inspiration, but to meet a quota.

I don’t understand why you say this. Has there been evidence put forth that there were many Pokémon from this generation to be created in an “uninspired” way other than your opinion? I don’t care that they didn’t get an evolution, and I like the design, just like a lot of other designs that came from fifth gen.

Holy shit I can't get over how fucking wrong this is. I know you're mostly going to cite how many Gen 5 Pokemon are parallels to older Pokemon as the main support for this but just because they fulfill similar roles doesn't mean no thought or creativity was put into the designs themselves. Fuck off.

I don't think that having 8 well-designed pokemon in the entire Pokedex (Zebstrika, Bisharp, Darmanitan, Galvantula, Volcarona, Beheeyem, Chandelure, Gigalith) is enough to be considered a 'decent batch'.

Wrong. Those eight plus Golurk and Archeops (I forgot about them) are the only good designs from Gen 5. If you think there are any designs outside of those ten that aren't objectively overdesigned or just plain ugly dogshit, you have irredeemable taste.
