Having somehow successfully avoided dying of shame, TheGamer's two biggest public-humiliation-kink-having editors are back to discuss, for all the world and their families to see, which Pokemon they would smash, and which they would pass. They're aiming for at least a 25 percent success rate, and Editor-in-Chief Stacey Henley and Tabletop Editor Joe Parlock just about scraped that last week in Kanto, with Stacey on 25.83 percent and Joe just one smash behind on 25.17. It's a bit of an Alien Vs Predator situation - whoever wins, we lose.
Johto though is a very different story. Though the general design aesthetic is more similar between Kanto and Johto than perhaps any other region, a lot of now-common tropes were introduced in Johto, while the games also had to contend with being a phenomenon in ways the original did not. Will that change anything? Is any of that important? Who knows. As a reminder, we're just using base forms in general, though Megas, Gigantamax, regionals, and any other variants can be used to inform the smash or the pass.
152 Chikorita
Joe: This is my favourite starter line this gen, but ꧙it’s still just a plant thing. Pass.
Stacey: I don’t think I’m ever going to smash the first stage of 🐓a starter Pokemon. Pass.
153 Bayleef
Stacey: The second stage star♛ters tඣend to be angry teenagers, which again is off-putting. Bayleef is the best of the three, but still a pass.
Joe: I like Bayleef’s energy, but in the same way Iဣ’d like a younger sibling. Obviously pass.
154 Meganium
Joe: I have to smash. I’m sorry, but I love Meganium to b🅺its. He’s a big, gay dinosaur with a flower and I adore him. Smash.
Stacey: I just don’t🌼 see it, sorry. Pass ag🐬ain, my numbers are slipping.
155 Cyndaquil
Stacey: I will smash eventually, but not on this ugly burn🌄ing slug child. Pass.
Jꦫoe: I think it’s meant to be a tenrec. Not that’d I’d smash a tenrec, mind. Pass෴.
156 Quilava
Joe: Slightly too child-like, so it’s still a pass, but one I had to put a fair 🌠bit oꦓf thought into.
Stacey: Nope. I considered Bay𒐪leef, but an easy pass. Controversially, the Cyndaquil line is one of my least favourite ever.
157 Typhlosion
Stacey: Which 𝔍obviously means pass. There’s a smash streak comin🅘g soon, don’t worry.
Joe: Hisuian Typhlosion is a h🍃ard pass, I hate that po𒅌kemon so much. Johtonian Typhlosion is an easy smash though.
158 Totodile
Joe: No, that is a child. Pass.
Stacey: Yep. ‘Pass on the children’ is a fi⛄rm rule I🍌’m proud we’ve stuck to.
159 Croconaw
Stacey: Nah. Ugmo. Pass.
Joe: Aww, he’s not ugmo. He’s not smashable, but🔴 he’s ha🐽ndsome. Pass.
160 Feraligatr
Joe: So fꦕar I am 6/6 on every third stage starter, and Feraligatr is one of the easiest smashes so far.
Stacey: And I’m 𓆉finally off the mark. Sm♛ash for sure.
161 Sentret
Stacey: Just a little too small and whims🦄ical, so pass.
Joe: I’m not sure how this wou🎃ld work, and Sentret isn’t worth the effort tꦍo work that out, so pass.
162 Furret
Joe: Great Pokemon design, but I don’t want to smas♔h a ferret. Pass.
Stacey: Call me Richard Gere, baby. Smash.
163 Hoothoot
Stacey: I hate owls so much. Pass.
Joe: Hoothoot will have its moment, but pass.
164 Noctowl
Joe: That moment is now, that owꦛl is hot. Just look at th꧑at brow game. Smash.
Stacey: Owls. Pass.
165 Ledyba
Stacey: Ledyba looks less like a ladybird and more like those cheap metal ride-along machines outside supermarkets. I don’t want to smash them, and I don't want to smash this.
Joe: The blank, dead eyes do nothing for mꦛe, pass.
166 Ledian
Joe: I almost get it. I wouldn’t judge you if you d🅘id want to smash this 🧔buggy twink, but it’s not for me. Pass.
Stacey♛: I think I’m in the same camp, m𓄧ostly because it looks like a knock-off Power Ranger. Pass.
167 Spinarak
Stacey: Of course not.
Joe: I’m not into pedipalps. Pass.
168 Ariados
Joe: 💧Please reread what I sa💙id about Spinarak. Pass.
St🉐acey: Sticking with ‘of course not’.
169 Crobat
Stacey: Sure are a lot of uggos in Johto, eh?𓆉 Gotta pass I’m ♊afraid.
J✨oe: Crobat is 5’11”. It’s a ❀big bat boy, but there are better bats to come. Pass.
170 Chinchou
༺Joe: Chinhou wouldn’t survive under normal air pressu💧re, let alone the pressure of smashing. Pass for its own sake.
Stacey: Also it looks weird. Pass.
171 Lanturn
Stacey: This is more like it. It’s also weir𓃲d looking, but somewhat compelling. Smash for curiosity.
Joe: The most smashable fish to date. Also smash.
172 Pichu
Joe: And now we hit the first🔜 stretch of baby pokemon.♛ Pass, obviously.
Stacey: Yeah Johto’s baby population is ba🧜d news 🎐for Smash fans.
173 Cleffa
S🔯tacey: I think Cleffa would taste the best, but I would not sma♏sh it. Pass.
Joe: It’s a baby,💦 and we don’t eat o💮r smash babies, Stacey. Pass.
174 Igglybuff
Joe: Okay yeah Igglybuff does look kind of delicious. Pass for the baby, but I&rsquo꧅;m warming up to the eating plaꦛn.
Stacey: I’m not sure I have the energy or ‘Eat or… hmm, Don’t Eat?&rsq🍸uo; after we’ve smashed them all, but I do know this is a pass.
175 Togepi
S🅰tacey: Out of Babyville for now with a💜nother pass.
🦹Joe: It’s a step up from that one gross, smashed Exeggcute, but🐽 not by much. Pass.
176 Togetic
Joe: Finally, the string is broken with a smash. It’d be like smashing your imaginary friend, which is something I’d want to experie♔nce at least once.
Stacey: Oh good, I feel valiꦰdated now. Also smash, and amazed we agree.
177 Natu
Stacey: Oh come on now. Pass.
Joe: Slightly offended you brushed him off so quickly, but 🅘yeah, pass.
178 Xatu
Joe: Xat﷽u’s a smash just because I think having the ability to see the future all but guarantees a good time. If you’re smashing, you know Xatu’s seen it was great.
Stacey: It’s a b💦ird crossed with a weird old man. I have to pass.
179 Mareep
Stꦿacey: Too much just like a regular sheep, pass again. Johto really needs to ste💫p up.
🍃Joe: I have had to lower my standards for Johto, but ‘an actual sheep’ is just tᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚoo far. Pass.
180 Flaaffy
Joe: I bet Flaaꦐffy feels like one of those hairless cats. It’s gross, 🍬pass.
Stacey: I hate that I’m followin♍g that image, but I agree on the standards being lowered, so I am going to declare a smash here.
181 Ampharos
Stacey: A much ea𒅌sier smash. Easiest so far by a di﷽stance.
Joe: The flippers put me off, even 🃏th🏅ough Mega Ampharos has incredible hair. Pass.
182 Bellossom
Joe: This is the most socially acceptable smash so far, but I can’t brin🙈g myself to do it. It’s a plant. Pass.
Stacey: Ridiculous logic after making it with an owl. Ampharos is quickly dethroned a🎉s the easiest smash of Johto.
183 Marill
Stacey: Johto and the curse of very small, very cute💟, very unജsmashable Pokemon. Pass.
Joe: Smashing Pikachu’s lꦜess famous little brother ☂doesn’t have anywhere near the same appeal. Pass.
184 Azumarill
Joe: Smash for A💞zumarill though. This is a th𓃲icc boy, even if his famous days are behind him.
Stacey: I see it, I support it, it’s not quite for me. It&🎐rsquo;s like a banana milkshake, I guess. Pass.
185 Sudowoodo
Stacey: A relativel🔴y straightforward smash, I like the style and the energy.
Joe: He’d give you absolutely nothing in the bedroom though. P💖ass.
186 Politoed
ꦫJoe: After Poliwhirl and Poliwrath, how did Johto get it so wrong with Politoed? Absolutely not, this is an inflatable pool toy. Pass.
Stacey: I was all aboard the Poliwrath express꧟, but Politoed takes a wrong turn into♑ Pass City.
187 Hoppip
Stacey: Okaꦰy, look. I really like this line, and I want it to go home with something. Skipping (and jumping) ahead, things go a little haywire. So, for t꧋he good of the lineage, I do my smashly duty.
Joe: I’d totally fꦆorgotten this line e🍰xisted. If you got Azumarill, I can get this, but it’s still a pass.
188 Skiploom
Joe: I love the doofy face, but pass.
Stacey: Doofy little blob, ♌a major step down from Hoppip.𒐪 Pass.
189 Jumpluff
Stacey: Here’s my conundrum. It’s as cute as Hoppip, but the question is do you al🍎low the hazard of nettles, or of those weird little hairy seed stems. I think this is too much of a risk, so pass. I did think about it though.
Joe: Meanwhile I don’t smash weeds, pass.
190 Aipom
Joꦬe: Call me in two generations and we♎’ll discuss it, but right now it’s a pass.
Stacey: Never call me again. Pass.
191 Sunkern
Stacey: What? How? Absolutely not.
Joe: The eyes haunt me. Pass.
192 Sunflora
Joe: If you’d asked me this before Scarlet & Violet, I might have said smash. But that godawful corralling minigame makes me🍎 h🤡ate these creepy little bastards more than ever, so pass.
Stacey: I can’t believe this is the plant you considered after dismissing th🥂e rest so easily.🔯 But yeah, pass.
193 Yanma
Stacey: It&ꦕrsquo;s actually not too far away from smash, b🔯ut still a little bit short. Pass.
Joe: I’m concerned that thꦡis 🌠wasn’t too far away from a smash for you, pass.
194 Wooper
Joe: This comes too close to being a child for me, especially when his dad is ju𝔉st around the corner. Pass.
Stacey: And again, weird looking. Pass.
195 Quagsire
Stacey: I understand why Joe is going to sm♏ash, but I am not on that wavelength. Pass for sure.
Joe: Quagsire gives me short king. He gives me himbo. He gives me cuddly, supportive, 🔥and kind. Most of all, he gives me sma𝕴sh.
196 Espeon
Joe: These are a b⛦ig step up from the Gen 1 Eeveelutions, but Espeon’s weird fronds puts me off. Pass.
Stacey: I was two out of three in Kanto, and I agr🐻ee that Espeon💝 is even better. Smash.
197 Umbreon
Stacey: Worse than ൲Espeon, better than the also-smash-worthy-Flareon, so a mathematically devised smash.
Joe: Don’t let Eric hear you say that. In order to keep the peace at TheGamer, I feel obliged to smash Umbreon, and♓ not because the emo shtick is kinda appealing, I swear.
198 Murkrow
Joe: Smash, purely because I imagine it’d talk with a thick Ne🍰w Yorker accent which I am not ashamed to admit I find hot.
Stacey: I haven’t deci💜ded how I feel a♉bout the evolution, but right now, a simple pass.
199 Slowking
Stacey: I have fewer ethical concerns than other Slow- ‘mons, but I stil﷽l find it goofy. Pass.
Joe: Johtonian Slowking is an easy smash now that I don’t꧟ have to feel weird about it like I would a Slowbro. Galarian freaks me out though… in a way Parasect probably should have as w🌄ell, on reflection.
200 Misdreavus
Joe: I will support anyone who would, but i🧜t’s a pass for me.
Stacey: I appreciatꦅe the support, even if I am really here to get the older sister’s number. Sma🐻sh.
201 Unown
ꦡStacey: I wouldn’t smash alphabet soup, and ওI wouldn’t smash this.
Joe: It entirely depends on the letter, I gu🧔ess. None of them feel sentient enough to quali൲fy though, so an overall pass.
202 Wobbuffet
Joe: Somehow, this is my most ജshameful smash. I don’t know why I&rsquo🐎;d smash, but I would and I’m so sorry for that.
Stacey: I knew you would, it&rsqu🍒o;s basically yassified Quagsire. Not for me, but I see it.
203 Girafarig
Stacey: I mean, which end are we even smashing here? Neither♛, for me anyway.
J﷽oe: My horse phobia from gen 1 rears its ugly head. Anything with hooves is a hard pass.
204 Pineco
Joe: I almost w🐻ant to say yes for the bit, but I just caꦏn’t work out how it’d even happen. Pass.
Stacey: We’re saying yes to🦩 plants, animals, and egg creatures unprompted, we don’t need ‘the bit’. But still, 🗹pass.
205 Forretress
Stacey: A big met🌺al ball that’s also a landmine that’s also a tank that’s also an acorn, or something. None of those are smashable things. Pass.
Joe: I just have 🎃mental images of this thing🅠 slamming shut mid-act. Not taking the risk, pass.
206 Dunsparce
Joe: Dunsparce isꦉ 4’11”, which makes it disturbingly big for a worm-drill-bug-thing. Pass.
S𒆙tacey: I think if I ranked them all, this might be at the very bottom.🎐 Pass.
207 Gligar
Stacey: What a handsome chap. Smash.
Joe: I was not expecting you to join me in loving Gligar. A r🍬eally, really easy smash.
208 Steelix
Joe: Sometimes there are Pokemon you wouldn’t smash because it’s too risky. Steelix is the opposite, I want to smash this big hunk 🐲of boy because he could possibly crush me to death.
Stacey: I see the crushing appeal in general, but ܫnot here. Passed on Onix, passing here too.
209 Snubbull
Stacey: Designed after♔ what is famously 🦄the ugliest dog. A clear pass.
Joe: Snubbull looks like thosဣe paintings of Victorian children weaꦬring sailor costumes. No thanks, pass.
210 Granbull
Joe: I really hate Granbull, but we’re running out of options in Johto, and this is one I think I could bring myself rouꩵnd to smash in a pinch.
Stacey: I am gearing up to tak♏e some for the team, but this isn’t one 🃏of them. Gotta stick with passing.
211 Qwilfish
Stacey: This is the toughest one, especially when you get to the Hisui version, but I think𒀰 I’m going to pass and trust that a smash streak is right around the corner.
J🌺oe: I don’t want to smash a venomous fish, which is more controversial tꦏhan I was expecting.
212 Scizor
Joe: S🔴cizor is Scyther’s hotter, older brother. He has a motorbike, probably. Maybe he’d let me ride it after I riܫde him. Smash.
Stacey: I feel the same way, for opposite reasons. I lovꦰe the slightly nerdy energy of Scyther, where we’d stay inside and talk about books while his brother drinks beer and does spo🌠rts. But he’s enough of a dreamboat that it all falls apart when we have a one-time fling and break Scyther’s heart. A tragic smash.
213 Shuckle
Stacey: You don’t 💙fuckle with Shu🔴ckle. Literally. Pass.
Joe: I’d just feel bad. Pass.
214 Heracross
Joe: Finally, more smashable bugs. Heracross looks strong and would know how to treat me just right. Smasᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚh.
Stacey: The f🌺emale Heracross has a heart at the end of her… horn? I’m going with horn. Anyway, that’s very cute. Smash for sure.
215 Sneasel
Stacey: There are realities in which, in the right liꦕght, in the right way, at the right time, this is a smash. So in the binary ‘smash or pass’, I’m going ‘smash’.
Joe: This line will have its time to smash, I think I can pass on Snease⛄l.
216 Teddiursa
Joe: It’s a baby, and I’m sc꧂ared of its parent. Pass.
Stacey: Another child. 𒈔It’s probably good in bed, but not like that. Pass.
217 Ursaring
Stacey: The differences between the two of us distilled into on🌠e🤡 answer. Pass.
Joe: Absolute smash. Literally e꧅very evolved bear Pokemon is a smash, but Ursaring is the original, and I don🐬’t even have to think twice about this answer.
218 Slugma
Joe: …No, I’m too mature to m🦂ake the obvious joke. But I bet it&rsq𒆙uo;d feel good, so smash.
Stacey: I get r෴azz for considering Qwilfish, and ﷽then we get this? Not a chance. Pass.
219 Magcargo
Stacey: If I had to pick one, it would be the other o🐽ne. Pass𝓀.
Joe: Ye⛄ah Magcargo is a rare ex♑ample of a Pokemon getting worse as it evolves. Pass.
220 Swinub
Joe: How? Pass, mostly out of practicality.
Stacey: I don’t thin🌞k that’s a major issue, but I’m still going for pass.
221 Piloswine
Stacey: It would be the tཧhird one in the line if any, and I’m not sure it’s any. Pass.
Joe: I love a strong brow, but this is too much. This is a gr🌃andpa with overgrown bushy brows, pass.
222 Corsola
Joe: Pretty sure Corsola is protected by so🙈me environmental agency, pass🦄.
Sꦫtacey: It’s not that far away🍰, but it’s still a pass.
223 Remoraid
Stacey: A fish that’s kind of a gun but then not really. The wor🌠st idea for a Pokemon ever? Anyway, pass.
Joe: I&rsꦡquo;d never nꦿoticed it’s meant to look like a gun. The rubbish design only solidifies my decision to pass.
224 Octillery
Joe: Octillery’s a smash though♓. When you can im🌄agine multiple methods, you can’t pass.
Stacey: Remoraid is a gun and Octillery is meant to be the tank it𝔍 evolves into. Which is also stupid. And I’m passing again.
225 Delibird
Stacey: Smash… into the ground, with a baseball bat. And then drop a piano on it. The single worst Pokemon ever. It 🥂gives you its own shit for Christmas. Pass does not adequately sum up my hatred. But it&rsquoജ;s all I have. So pass.
Joe: 🌃Partly to annoy Stacey and partly because I like the chunky Santa energy, I’m smashing.
226 Mantine
Joe: If we can ditch th𝓡at Remoraid and have some alone time, I’d smash Mantine. But I think he’d just keep inviting his buddy along and ruining the moment. We’ll go smash, but with zero expectations it’d be any good.
Stacey: It just looks a little too charming and wholesome. I know I’m paꦺssing on a lot of 50-50s, but I just… can’t. Pass.
227 Skarmory
Stacey: This one’s easy thoꩵugh. I loveꦰ the sharp design, the gothic danger of it all. Smash, no question.
Joe: There are better metal birds out there, but Skarmory’s got that utter edgelord punk design to make it a nice, solid smash nonetheless👍.
228 Houndour
Joe: I can’t decide if this one verges too much into looking like a🐠 puppy, soꦉ to avoid any problems I’m going to pass.
Stacey: Agreed, just a𝓀 little too much of a baby. A huge problem in Johto.
229 Houndoom
Stacey: No such issues here. Not at the top of the list, but a fairly simple sℱmash pick.
Joe: Houndoom tries too hard, but also I’m ඣnot picky. I’d roll my eyes, th𓆉en smash anyway.
230 Kingdra
Joe: At first I brushed Kingdra off as just a wrinkly Seadra, but there’s something d🌜istinguished about him, like Hugh Laurie or Hugh Grant or another Hugh. Smash.
Stacey: Last week I passed on Seadra and said I’d be waiting, but my memory of Kingdra was a little more dapper. Still, to hono🤡ur my words, it’s a smash.
231 Phanpy
Stacey: A baby. Again. No. Pass.
Joe: Also Phanpy sounds like nappy, which reminds me of poo. I don’t want ꦚto be think♏ing about poo. Pass.
232 Donphan
Joe: Donphan would be the one doing the smashing, I’d imagine. 🐼But I’d be down, so smash.
Stacey: It’s another close call tha༺t sees the night end smashless, I’m afraid. Pass.
233 Porygon2
Stacey: Porygon2 looks like a rubber duck. It’s Porygon after a Snapchat f🧔ilter. I might be being🐼 catfished, but I’m curious. Smash.
Joe: As I mentioned last week, Porygon is my favourite Pokemon. Porygon2 is Porygon with most of the appeal buffed ﷽out. I did🍌n’t smash Porygon out of respect, I won’t smash Porygon2 just because I don’t like it.
234 Stantler
Joe: In a dark room, I’d smash. Which, apparently, qualifies it for a smash. But I hate its Droopy face and its tail. Smash to respect the 🦂precedent.
Stacey: This is too much of a ‘j𒁏ust an animal’ Pokemon, so I&rꦅsquo;m out.
235 Smeargle
Stacey: A stupid little dog with 𒈔stupid l𝔍ittle paintings. Pass.
Joe: Smeargle’s up there as one of my favourites, but not because I want to smash it. I 𒈔love this little fella and want to see it thrive more than I want to sleep with it.
236 Tyrogue
Jo💫e: Welcome back to Babytown. Population: not me.
Stacey: Sigh. Pass.
237 Hitmontop
🌃Stꦺacey: Better than Hitmonlee, worse than Hitmonchan. Yeah, I can see it. Smash.
Joe:🧔 Oh, we’re not quite in Babytown yet. We’ll make a quick stop to smash Hitmontop, then it’s going straight to the high street to not smash anything for a while.
238 Smoochum
Joe: God…🐬 God♔, this one’s just the worst, isn’t it? Pass.
Stacey: I disagree that it’s the worst, but💟ꦍ pass for sure.
239 Elekid
Stacey: A baby aꦛnd also an ele𒁏ctric socket. Obviously a pass.
Joe: If Sm♉oochum’s the worst, Elekid’s the best. Not smashing, of course, but Iꦬ appreciate this chap.
240 Magby
Joe: Sorry, I was wrong. This one&rsquo♑;s the worst. Pass, and m🍎aybe a kick as I go by.
Stacey: Now we&rsq🐭uo;re in agr𒆙eement. A pass for sure.
241 Miltank
Stacey: The first 50/50 where I have decided on ‘go🐭 on then’. A pass of curiosity 💧and circumstance.
Joe: I think we’re about to enter a very smash-heavy stretch soon, so I don♔’t want to tire myself out. I absolutely understand Miltank, but I’ll survive if I pass.
242 Blissey
Joe: I passed on Chansey, bu𓃲t Blissey feels like one I’d want to experience, even if it was just the once. Smash.
Stacey: I did not pas💙s on Chansey, and I will not pass here. Smash. Easy.
243 Raikou
Stacey: 🅰You have to take the Legendary dogs seriously, but this is the least smash-able,ꩵ and therefore a pass.
Joe: Raikou is definitely the least smashable, there’s too 💮many conflicting colours going on here. That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t absolutely smash it, though.
244 Entei
Jo💝e: Oh my god yes, I’d smash Daddy Entei 🅠all the way to Sinnoh.
Stacey: I think Joe is running away with Johto,🌜 but I’m just concentrating on my own smash game. When all the Pokemon become pretty ladies for some reason in later gens, I will have the upper hand. Anyway, pass.
245 Suicune
Stacey: You’d h♐ave to smash one of them though. Especially one that,ဣ for a long time, I thought was called ‘Suck-U-in’.
Joe: Meanwhile I spent years thinking it was ‘Sway-Shane’. That isn’t relevant to the task at hand, though. It&r💧squo;s a smash for all three legendary beasts, how could it not? Look a✤t that hair.
246 Larvitar
Joe: Even though I’m passing on Larvitar, I refuse to consider this as me breaking my smash-cha🌼in. I’m not passing, I’m biding my time for a bigger, better boy.
Staceyꦿ: I only have a chain of oꩲne, but it is broken. Smashed, even. Unlike Larvitar. Pass.
247 Pupitar
Stacey: Hahaha, yeah, sure. Pass.
Joe: Didn’t you want t🅷o smash Metapod? 𝄹I’m still biding my time, so pass. But soon, my love. Soon.
248 Tyranitar
Joe: The time has com☂e. Tyranitar is a no-brainer smash, this guy would demolish me and I’d thank him for it.
Stacey: I smashed Metapod out of curiosity and, crucial, Metapod is not one of the ugliest creatureꦍs ever designed in any game, anywhere. Also a pass, Johto has gone from my favouri🧔te region to near the bottom this week. Uggos everywhere.
249 Lugia
Stacey: Okay, maybe not everywhere. Lugia is an easy smash, gᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚotta get the Legendaries in early before they become overdesigned nonsense.
Joe: Even if it wasn’t a Legendaꦰry, Lugia’s just plain hot. Smash.
250 Ho-oh
Joe: Whereas I think Ho-Oh is more just a Legendary I’d want toꦓ smash to say I’d smashed it. A smash is a smash, but it’s no Lugia.
Stacey: It’s always been my fꦿavourite over Lugia, but it does not beat it out for Smash-ability. I do agree that it’s still worth a try though.
251 Celebi
Stacey: I♔t’s v🎐ery fitting that Johto’s last Pokemon is basically a baby. Pass.
Joe: It’s an onion and a ch𓄧ild all wrapped up into one, easily passable package.
Final Score
Stacey: 26/100 = 26 percent (ov🐟erall total 65/251 = 25.9 percent)
Joe 35/100 = 35 percent (overall total 73/251🔜 = 29.1 percent)
Joe turns his one smash deficit into an impressive (well, 🐈not that, but something) eight smash lead. As the Pokemon become more femmified, that lead may be in danger. Still, he can always say he smashed the most Pokemon in the region full of babies and ugly dorks. Next week we’ll be in Hoenn, getting wet and wild among the islands. Be there or, i𒅌f you have any sense, avoid at all costs.
