Day 19
Should be no surprise for those who know me. Easy peasy, this one:
Day 19: Favorite Pokemon
“Just looking at a Wobbuffet makes you feel warm and happy.”
-- townsperson, Pokemon Ep 173, “Wobbu-Palooza”
Arguably Team Rocket’s most useless Pokemon, but that’s why I love him to death. Popular belief has him modeled after a Japanese comic, and that makes sense, because he really is all about the comedic timing. Popping out at all manner of inappropriate times, he just makes me laugh and laugh. Plus there’s his silly grumpy face, his eyeball tail, and his ridiculous salute. Did you know: Wobbuffet are super mysterious! They normally live quietly in the darkness to keep their pitch-black tails hidden (it is said to be proof the tail hides a secret). And don't forget his psychic (Counter, LOL) powers! Wobbuffet are never the first to attack, and actually don’t really USE attacks unless their tails are targeted, in which case they pretty much just make everyone around pass out. Resolution without violence!
There is also this tidbit from the pokedex: When two or more Wobbuffet meet, they tend to turn competitive in some kind of playing and will often try to test each others' endurance. These tests of endurance can include a competition to see who can go the longest without eating, which their trainers should be wary about.
Really now, how can you not love something so ridiculous as a Wobbuffet?
WOBBBA!
