Arguably Pokémon’s “other” mascot, Meowth is another prominent member of the Pokémon franchise.

I’m astounded at the fact that as a kid, I never understood why Diglett looks the way it does. On the surface, it just looks like a tiny thumb with a button nose, digging through the ground because it has the word dig in its name.

Two adorable bugs in a row?!

Paras is a surprisingly darling insect. Its body is bright and cheery orange, and its oversized googly eyes add to the charm.

There’s something about sentient plants that never goes out of style.

Let me make things clear: ZUBAT IS COOL.

My negative outlook on Cleffa stems from the personal belief that Jigglypuff struts the “bare minimum” aesthetic better. Jigglypuff was released before Cleffa, so it’s only natural that it became a benchmark for how I view other designs.

Vulpix is such a simple yet elegant Pokémon.
