I like him, also it's gen 1 so many of them are going to be simpler.

It's a gender-unknown Pokémon.

I have a soft spot for Voltorb and Electrode for being the first mimic-trope encounters of the franchise.

In the overworld a potion takes up as much space as a legendary bird. Doesn't matter.

I dunno, I always thought Dugtrio and Magneton were lazier. If there was just one evolution line that did that, I'd let it slide. But having two lines that evolve into literally 3 of the same thing? come on.

Nah, it's definitely Poliwrath, it is the definition of "Just gets bigger".
You can see from its beta design and the final design that no one could figure out what to do with it and just gave up on it.
Politoed was basically a second try, hell it gets the good shit (Drizzle) while Poliwrath is left to rot.

I don't know, there's a tiny bit of nuance to it

>Electric + Explode
>also just happens to be a real word so the pun is easy to miss
I agree Genwun designs can go from okay to lazy, but Electrode is cool.

Different anon, but isn't it more autistic to ascribe a gender to a Pokemon whose gender is unknown? Calling it "him" seems like that thing some autistic kids do when they refer to inanimate things endearingly as if it were an actual person.

Electrode is genuinely one of the best Pokemon designs from Gen 1, it's so fucking cool, but I agree that the name sucks.

It was the fastest Pokemon until gen3 IIRC. That's got to be worth something

Yes, you shouldn't browse while being underage.

So why do you do it?

Not that anon, but I think he's using "him" because english isn't its first language and some others, like Portuguese, uses "him" and "her" where english doesn't.

Never thought of that, but it would make sense. That way, it keeps its similarities to Magneton, since each got one of the new types in Gen 2.

Why are SD/Explosion still physical, anyway?

Side question: would some kind of ability to survive a single use of Explosion be totally broken?
Even if the mon is highly fragile?

Electrode always struck me as an escalation of Voltorb's shock factor- like when you see something spooky so you run away, but you're in too deep so you bump into an even spookier thing.

You mean Damp except the opponent pokemon still dies, but it only works once? Doesn't sound too broken.

No, I mean the Pokemon explodes and deals damage to the opponent, but doesn't faint after exploding.

Considering Electrode would be the best candidate for it and two Explosions would offset his low attack stat, that does seem much.
