So like, the instant I even
heard there was a pokemon made of garbage, I knew it would be my new favorite and that its design couldn't possibly go wrong. When I actually saw it, Garbodor exceeded my highest expectations. Let me run down the reasons I adore Garbodor:
1) He's very reminiscent of two of my other favorite monsters,
Hedorah and
Raremon. I just love those freaky, bug-eyed filth creatures.
2) He's the most MONSTROUS looking Pokemon since Weezing.
3) The eerie, staring eyes and screaming mouth make it look like it's in constant misery, and are also hilarious.
4) It's one of the few amorphous Pokemon besides Muk and Ditto, but has a lot more going on in its design.
5) It
tears open when it evolves from Trubbish. It pretty much forms a body from its guts, which are also trash. It joins the ranks of Marowak, Parasect and Banette as one of the darker, more morbid pokes.
6) Wearing the old torn-up skin like a Luchador mask is just too cute.
I can't believe how many people hate him for being "ugly," and other people who hate him for being made of inanimate materials. If you don't like ugly, biologically impossible things, why play a game originally known as
Pocket MONSTERS?

This is my first post since 2003, and maybe one of my last. I just had to express that no, not everyone is a wuss about Garbodor. He's cooler to me than
every other freaking pokemon combined. I don't care how bad his stats and movepool are, he is my lead spiker for life.
