Don't think I didn't choose that screencap for nothing! ;) MWAHAHAHAA! (Although, I don't know about "adorable" as much as "ridiculous" but I think he's awesome all the same.)
I didn't include this in my post, though I was originally going to. Not that it's a showcase of everything awesome about Wobbuffet, but it's kind of a hilarious episode because .. well.. it's Wobbuffet? (See also: Counter! Counter! Counter! WIN!!) Too bad it's condensed, though admittedly some of the dubover stuff is funny.

Whoops, I almost forgot to watch this! (Didn't have a chance at work yesterday.) I liked the episode itself (The Wobbuffet wearing the Officer Jenny cap, hee!), but I honestly thought the dubover stuff was mostly annoying

the dubover stuff was mostly annoying Aww. Well, some of it *was* stupid, but I dunno, when you've watched as much dubbed Pokemon as me... well, it's funnier to just make fun of it sometimes. :P (I loved how they put FAIL when Ash assumed Team Rocket was the bad guy in that episode though b/c I'd remembered that was totally how I felt when I WATCHED it!)
one of the commenters points out that they're basically saying "ORLY?" "YARLY!" over and over I've seen that... er, somewhere! Or heard that's basically what they're saying. They are so funny. XD I don't think there is any reason for Wobbuffet's name in English - at least not any more than some of the others - and I agree that it's kinda sad that some of the "funny" about Pokemon is really lost in [lack of] translation. And the nonsense names certainly have't helped its image as something kids-only, but what can ya do? :/ At least some of them make some sense for their character types.. like Meowth? etc.
LOL! I hadn't seen that one! I'll have to go watch your link! Mine's jigglypuff, 'cause it's squishy and soft and I can sing-song it's name like in the cartoon. (And it scans to "puberty love" and other silly words.)
let's all sing inappropriate songs to the jiggypuff tune together!collarnojutsuJuly 21 2011, 21:26:16 UTC
The link would be better* if it was the proper (full) episode but I just love that there is a whole town full of Wobbuffet - the officer Wobbu and the little tiny one and the chunky one and their t-shirts! Ahahaha! I TOTALLY want that t-shirt.
*Actually, this might be up for debate. (lol)
Honestly Wobbuffet might be so awesome just because he's 95% useless. He pops out alllll the time for no reason and Jesse is ALWAYS yelling at it. It's just hysterical to me.

I think I'll stick with my answer from sara's - Bulbasaur is fun to say, though Wobbuffet is up there on that list as well^^

I also think Larvitar is fun to say! I have a little Wobba, Skitty, and Larvitar on my shelf and sometimes I talk to them. :P
