doesn't matter. still has character soul.
seethe zoomie

That makes sense to be lazy. Poliwrath doesn't.

Genwunners be like:
>SOUL
>This is peak design
>At least it's not furbait

>a ball turning into a ball is lazy
what did you want it to turn to, a cube?

Only redeeming feature about it is that the br*tish pronounce it as "elechode" and that's pretty funny i think

the worst gen 1 pokemon still have more soul than the worst pokemon from any other generation

Electrode's design is actually brilliantly inspired and creative because, um. Uh. Because. It just is, ok?

yeah elechode is prihhy funny innit

Poliwrath. Pidgeot.

doesn't need a reason. it has a personality which is more than what 50% of nu mon have

Poliwag line is also terrible design.
The second and third stage is EXTREMELY lazy
They should have dropped either the last or the intermediate stage and replaced it with politoad as a branching line.

electrode is based.

Pidgeot takes that throne. The mega should've been the base design from the start

Poland gets shit on enough, leave him alone.

>now has a mouth and teeth
>eyes are completely different
>there's more white section than red, so they didn't literally just rotate the image
>fastest Pokemon in the entire game so he''s actually good
>looks like a badass in spite of basic design
Better than every Gen 8 Pokemon. If you're going to pick on a shit Gen I Pokemon, at least go with an actually shit one like Tangela or Doduo.

>>looks like a badass in spite of basic design
As much as I love Electrode, this isn't true at all considering Centiskorch exists.

Literally my mother’s Pokéball.

Voltorb is always frowning = Negative electric charge
>*sides reversed*
Electrode is always smilling = Positive electric charge

It's brilliant, sorry zoomers but kantochads just can't stop winning.

Unlike Nugen pokemon, there has been actual genuine effort put into these designs. The eyes, the mouth, the eyebrows, even the shading, it's all full of tasteful and elegant soul. Just compare Inteleon, which is a completely soulless design with no effort put into it whatsoever.

He's still my fav pokemon of all time

It’s just a fucking Pokéball, you spaz.

This, people often forget how beyond being a mimic they often depict the line as a battery

>so he''s actually good
electrode was not good in gen 1
