I honestly kind of approve of Uranium going whole hog on eels and eel-oids. I have no idea why, but it's at least slightly interesting, unlike "black and green Nuclear types" or "shrimp with a gun." (The first evo of gumshrimp having a deputy pun and the second one not having a sheriff pun sort of bugs me, although it's not nearly as bad as the general design decisions behind gunshrimp.)

"Sherimpf"

Also, the fire typing kind of makes sense because pistol shrimps superheat water when they attack.

I'll admit

Fate � monstrous
and empty,
you whirling wheel,
you are malevolent,
well-being is vain
and always fades to nothing,
shadowed
and veiled
you plague me too;
now through the game
I bring my bare back
to your villainy.

feels more suited to this game than

"Ooh, you make my motor run, my motor run" or "Never gonna stop, give it up, such a dirty mind"

It also feels like a joke an actual Pokemon game would make.
Also, ninja/pirate thing isn't bad here, because surfing ninjas is ridiculous and stupid enough to work. And that's all that's been good in the past five updates or so.

The sprite sizes are all over the place and are more often than not placed far too high on the screen

Shame they didn't pay attention when copying Black and White

Just count yourself lucky they didn't go for Triple Battles

I dunno, the discussion and ideas Linkite/Chainite sparked we're pretty good...

Oh wait, that was mocking and improving this game's poorly thought out designs. Carry on.

That does bring up an interesting question as to how wacky Atlus's mashup of Pokemon and SMT actually is. I owned the game but never really got around to finishing it.
EDIT:
For those of you wondering its Demikids or Devil Children which is the game line.

Demikids never happened. It does not exist. It never existed. We will not speak of it.

They already mashed up Persona with an existing Nintendo property, but they picked Fire Emblem for some reason. Though if you think about it, Fire Emblem is kinda like Pokemon but with soldiers. :pseudo:
