6/10
I don't particularly dislike the Starmie family, but I never found either of the Pokemon to be that memorable, so had it been introduced in one of the later generations, it would've probably been one of the Pokemon I'd have trouble remembering. That said, I actually quite like its design, despite the fact that I don't really like purple, but I think it fits Starmie pretty well, though the gem also adds a lot to the design. One of the main thing that does score it some points though, is that I found it to be rather challenging in the gym fight vs Misty in my early days of playing my Blue and Leaf Green whenever I didn't pick Bulbasaur as my starter, so kudos for that.¨
