Bidoof
Very similar to my Gen 1 decide, this one is completely shaped by whichever candy dude I encountered within the wild first. I will by no means tire of wanting into these vacant little eyes.

Munchlax
Why Jim? Selecting Mai’s Pokémon once more! It is superb as a result of I’ve one other greatest boy to decide on. I’m an enormous sucker for Snorlax, so after I first laid eyes on Munchlax and his vacant stare, all I wished was to take it residence and feed it soup.

Porygon-Z
Porygon 2 all the time felt like a little bit of a downgrade over the unique to me. Yeah, it was smoother and sleeker, however the place’s that chunky appeal? Porygon-Z (that’s a ‘zed’, however the best way) managed to win again my coronary heart, absolutely the sweetheart. Apparently this evolution is what occurs in case you attempt to set up unverified software program onto it or one thing, and it simply goes bananas, twitching and searching extremely unstable within the 3D video games. It’s getting your iPhone 4S to run Arch Linux, and I’m all right here for it.
