I miss 'em, too.
God, why would anyone miss a worm and a sludge ball?
Hey! It's a
cobra/snake (Arbok)
and a floating naval mine (Weezing)! Get it right!
I miss Ekans and Koffing. :<
Island of the Giant Pokemon anyone? with the cutesy scene.
"Pokemon not bad. :< Maaaaster bad."
"Bad bad!"
Too cute. (>////<)
I know! Such a nostalgic moment. (I just looked up EP017 on Bulbapedia for old time's sake, too.) Arbok and Weezing were classic. Team Rocket shouldn't have released them - you don't abandon your starter like that! :( A"reuniting" episode would be nice. They actually have potential of reforming Team Rocket. :t024: :t110:
And Koffing has one of the funniest expressions for
any monster/creature/Pokemon ever!
Now
that looks more "simple" or "unaware" than a Bibarel! Koffing looks dumb, dumbfounded, and inclined-to-laugh - all at the same time! And the way it squirts gas looks so cute! XD :t109: "Dogasu!"
On a side-note, Cacnea and Victreebel were
hilarious with James! :laugh:
Sadly, Carnivine looks like a forced replacement (possibly ripoff) of James's past Grass Pokemon. James's party continues to dwindle in strength these days...
And Yanmega is awesome (though I'd preferred dual-type Bug/Dragon instead :)).
*sighs* I haven't heard a Victreebel Screech, or the cries of Koffing, Weezing, Ekans, Arbok, Cacnea, Seviper, and Chimecho in a
long time...
EDIT: Arbok and Seviper
may be interchangeable, but Arbok has classicality on its side!
