Grookey's design is pretty bad. I hate it when Gamefreak takes an animal, makes it a different color, and calls it a pokemon. Need a fire type? Take a fox, paint it red, and there you have Vulpix. You see this a lot in fangames. Need a grass starter? Take a cat, paint it green, and there you have Orchynx. Grookey is just a green monkey. The only grassy thing about is that the hair at the tip of it's head is shaped like leaves. Grookey is the laziest design for a starter since gen 1. All that said, I can't help but fall for it. With the little fangs, the orange accents, the stick in the hair, Grookey is easily my favorite.
