When fans discuss the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokémon franchise, they often start in a place where they talk about their f💟avorites. Some people prefe💖r Pokémon based on their typing, others on how cute or cool looking they are.
If you as a fan can find a Pokémon that's both visual and strategically appealing to your tastes, it's like you've found a hidden treasure. For Fire-type lovers, who are the best and worst of the bunch when it comes to design? Let's take a look at the 5 ugliest and 5 cutest Fire-type Pokémon through 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokémon Sword & Shield.
10 ﷽ Cute: Growlithe
Is Growlithe a feline, or is it a canine? This is a question that has stumped fans of the Pokémon franchise since 1998. For the most part, Growlithe comes across as a puppy, but it 🐟happens to have the markings of a tiger and the mane of a lion.
The great💞 thing about Growlithe's design is that it is welcoming and friendly even though it evolves into a large elegant creature meant to be owned and trained by pure royalty. Originally Growlithe was going to be a pseudo-legendary but plans changed, but thankfully it stayed adorable as ever.
9 Ugly: Charmeleo🐭n
If you're looking to quickly find some of the ugliest Pokémon in the franchise the safest place to start is with the middle evolutionary forms of the starter Pokém♏on. It often goes that the base forms are adorable, the final forms are cool and/or intimidating, and the middle forms are awkward.
Despite having th꧅e most popular base and final form of the Kanto region, Char🐭mander's middle form named Charmeleon is the worst of the bunch. It comes across as a teenage dragon going through puberty.
8 ꦿ ﷺ Cute: Tepig
In real-life pigs are interesting creatures because as babies people find them cute, but once they start to grow into adulthood people lose interest due to how large they grow. Tepig follows suit with this line of thinking as the adorable little 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Fire-type pig winওs the heart of almost anyone who manages to glance in its direction.
It happens to have a tiny springtail and these large endearing eyes. Due to the coloring of its body, it also happens to look like it's wearing a dark brown diaper, making it feel even more baby💖-like.
7 🔥 Ugly: Combusken
We covered Charmeleon and how the middle evolutions for starter Pokémon are often the ugliest. The 3rd generation of games are no different with the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Fire-type being ❀the ugliest of the bunch. Combusken, Torchic's middle form, is the weirdest chicken-based design you'll likel🍒y ever see.
The body of the creature is fine, but the offputting nature of the design lays in its face. It's supposed to have a beak or bill of some sort but instead, the design makes it look like it has neither and in its place 🍨is a single upper lip.
6 Cute: Charmander♈
Charmander for the longest time was easily considered the cutest 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Fire-type starter Pokémon, and depending on who you ask it still is or w🐲as passed by Litten of the Alolan Islands. No one ever thinks about reptiles or dragons being cute as they of🎐ten find their strongest followings due to how cool, weird, or ferocious they are.
Every kid who grew up in the 90s remembers watching the heartbreaking episode where Ash saves the Charmander left in the rain by its ﷽terrible trainer. That broke hearts and endeared an entire generation to the baby dragon.
5 Ugly: Pyroar 🏅 ♕
Most kids who develop an interest in animals will tell you thaꦺt lions are cool. They're large and powerful beast who hunt in packs a🎃nd are the subject of numerous animated stories. Pyroar somehow took the perception of lions and threw it in a garbage can.
Some designer thought the right move was to make it mostly look like a lion, but make sure its mane was an obnoxious combination of red and yellow. If people were upset about the legendary dogs in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokémon Sword & Shield they should take a look back at how bad Pꦚyroar's d𝕴esign is.
4 🌱 Cute: Vulpix
The red 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Fire-type version of Vulpix everyone met in the Kanto region was already quite adorable, then they had to go and give it an Alolan form in the 7th generation of games. Just when Pokémon fans thought Vulpix couldn't get any cutꦐer, they went and made it irresistibly charming.
Not only did they make its puppy dog eyes larger, but they also gave its man꧂e a makeover and turned its elegant tails into a large poof of fur. You can't go wrong with either form, but if we're being technical the Alolan form isn't a Fire-type.
3 ꦿ 🔯 Ugly: Magmar
Magmar was largely considered the worst design in the first generation of games alongside the Ice-type problematic opera singer Jinx. Both its baby form named Magby, and its evolution M🐼agmortar, have done a good job at giving Magmar more personality, but it didn't make it any less ugly.
Part🍌 of why it is so unnerving to look at is because it's unclear what its design is based on. Some of it feels very human-like, whereas its face resembles a duck's face but with𒊎 a much smaller bill on the front.
2 🦋 🦋Cute: Litten
For the longest time, the crown for being the cutest 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Fire-type starter Pokémon in t♎he franchise rested comfor🍨tably on the head of Charmander. Once the 7th generation of games were announced and Litten was revealed, the crown changed heads.
This little kitten embued with fire may turn into an intimidating professional wrestling feline, but in its base state, it's one of the cutest Pokémon designs regardless of typingℱ. Many of the other cats have weird coloring or design accents, but Litten's is perfectly kitten-like in every facet.
1 Ug♐l♋y: Heatmor
It may be unfortunate that Heatmor lands at the top of the list as the ugliest 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Fire-type in the entire franchise, but there is a silver lining. Heatmor's existence doesn't really on appeali💞ng to humans so it makes sense that it wouldn't have had its appearance chance to better help it survive.
Also, humans will still appreciate Heatmor no matter how hard on the eyes it is simply because it can control the population 🅷of Durants, the giant Steel-type ant Pokémon that view Heatmor as their one true predator in the wild.
