Pokémon Review: Machop, Machoke, and Machamp
Shifting over from brains to brawn, we now take a look at another of the original four trade evolutions and arguably the standard bearer for what the idea of a Fighting type Pokemon was originally envisioned as: the Machamp family. Machop starts by giving me not too much to talk about with a pretty plain…

Pokémon Review: Meowth, Persian, and Perrserker
Meowth holds the distinction of being the only Pokemon to have received regional forms in two separate generations, so as such there’s quite a lot of ground to cover here for something so plain. Meowth is kind of hard to talk about as a Pokemon, in my view. This is largely because its presence in…

Pokémon Review: Pichu, Pikachu, and Raichu
Welp, it’s time for the big cheese. The mascot of all Pokémon and most likely one of the most recognisable fictional characters on the entire planet. However, before that we’ve got to make a little stop at the Day Care to pick up Pikachu’s child: Pichu. The first of a small handful of Baby Pokemon…

While Bulbasaur is my favourite now and Charmander was my pick when I first played the…

Pokémon Review: Charmander, Charmeleon, and Charizard
Okay, time for easily the most popular starter Pokemon ever. The Charizard family has an impossible level of hype to live up to already, but to be quite honest I don’t think the first two stages of the family even come close. Charmander is, all things considered, a cute Pokemon and fun design. However, it’s…

Pokémon Review: Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Venusaur
As with any overly ambitious online creative exercise spanning every Pokemon in existence, we begin with the Bulbasaur family. Bulbasaur is a timeless and beautiful design: a simple frog-like dinosaur creature with the bulb being a very simple way of communicating evolution in its later stages, but of the three Kanto starters I think it’s…
