Pokecull Round 1: Generation 1

Git yer guns ready!

Part 2Part 3

Right, no pissing about lets get right in with entry 1:


Venusaur
I love bulbasaur, he was my first ever pokemon and he was cute as a button. Ivysaur made the concept of a Dog/Plant hybrid more clear and looked a bit more svelt and confident. Then came Venusaur... a horrific, bloated frog from some swamp I can only hope was used in the opening of Apocalypse Now.

Wartortle
Nothing majorly offending but he's just a bit shit. If squirtle is a cute little Bruce Banner and Blastoise is an epic Hulk, then Wartortle is... Captain America. Just sad.

Raichu
Noone has a Raichu, Raichu is just a ruined pikachu. He even has shit on his paws, just look at it!

Clefable
This is the coked-up making out with Madonna Britney Spears next to Clefairy's "Hit me Baby One More Time" Brit. Those eyes have seen some shit. Just put it down for its own good.

Zubat, Golbat
Because fuck those guys!

Dugtrio
It's three Diglets... that's not a new thing, that's just three things! And why is there no Dugduo.

Persian
Meowth is a lovely little cartoon character with personality and charm. Persian is a cat... get in the sack!

Polywag, Polywhirl, Polywrath
This line looks like it's going somewhere then the second and third are the same. Just look, they're the same thing!

The "Mach" trio
This lot bug me for a few reasons; firstly they're very humanoid which is creepy for what's supposed to be essentially an animal. Secondly it goes from having pawfeet, to human feet, to a two-toed four-armed freak. Lastly the later ones wear pants, making the youngest one technically naked.

Magneton
This should cost you three slots in your team. Magneton I call you Cheat!

Gastly
It's a ball with eyes, fangs and a flatulence problem. Time for an exocism.
Voltorb, Electrode
Do I really need to say anything?
Exeggcute, Exeggutor
The first is a bunchof dumbass eggs, the latter is a doped up pinapple with three faces. Piss off!

Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan
Same reasons as the Mach boys plus they make no sense name wise. Hitmonchan is named after Jacki Chan while being a boxer clearly sculpted after Mike Tyson. Just look at the head, those are supposed to be corn-rows. The less said about Hitmonlee the better, I just hope Ghost Bruce Lee's feelings arent too hurt by that thing.

Mr Mime
Humanoid. Plus no-one likes mimes.

Jynx
And here we get to the inspiration for this cull. So much has been said already about this hrrifically designed minstrel. Lock it in a cold, dark room until it dies, I doubt it would even struggle.

Dragonite
This thing breaks away from it's previous evolution's sleek and elegant design to become a mascott for a shitty disneyland rip-off.

Culled: 25

Right, there goes Gen 1. 25 may seem a small number but it is 1/7 and going through there are definetly a few that will suffer come round 2, along with a few interesting ideas for round 3 that will thin things out a bit more.

Next up Round 1: Generation 2!
