The Winter's Tale

...preference? Sure, let's go with that.
I was going to post a hateful rant about certain relatives that are currently staying at my house, but now I think it would be more productive to turn my energies toward solving more important quandaries. Er, relatively speaking.
So, here we go.

#7


Derpiness : 7
Usefulness: 3
Overall score:2
For the record, I think that meme about Seaking is utterly trite and unfunny, and doesn't endear the thing to me in the slightest. Seaking may be good at looking stupid, but even then it's far from being the best at it. At least Goldeen had that expression of perpetual disinterest going for it, it's evolution is completely lacking in any defining characteristics. Well, there is that horn, but then again I'm pretty sure whenever a Gen I design was decreed too bland, quality control just slapped a horn on it. A plain old horse, on fire? Give it a horn I say! White sea lion? Horn! Wasp larva? Let it penetrate things! That's the Kanto way!
Regardless of whether sexual frustration played a part in the design process, things aren't much better for Seaking in the battling department, what with it's generic options and horrid stats. I guess you could try to get it to be a sort of horrible impersonator of a decent Swift Swim Pokemon like Kabutops. But like a real Elvis impersonator, under the façade Seaking is still just a balding unemployed man who captures the worst aspects of the thing he's trying to emulate. So if mediocrity and blandness are your cup of tea, why not give Seaking a whirl? That's all I really have to say... this thing is boring me to tears, so with a Derpiness of 7 and usefulness of 3, I give an overall score of 2 for the goldfish. If you don't think that makes sense, then I recommend trying not to let it bother you too much.

That's all for now, one derpfish down; six to go. Marvellous.
