Boris Pistorius sounds like one of those joke taxonomy names they use to have when they'd label Wile E. Coyote at the start of the cartoon.

Although now that I think about it, if the Pistorius label was going to be used in a Wile E. Coyote cartoon it'd have to be an episode where the Road Runner is the murderous one.

Does anyone have that clip of the Spiderman cartoon dub where it's people falling and the dub has them all just really flatly going "aahh" over and over? I never know what to search and I feel like an insane person trying to describe it.

Pokemon always had incredibly stupid monster designs, right from the original gen 1 games, that people forget about.

loving Exeggcute? It's just a pile of eggs with faces on it that inexplicably evolves into a coconut tree.

Mr Mime is a French guy that likes to participate in cockfights for some reason.

Jynx? What the hell is it even

an understandable mistake but

Despite looking like eggs, Exeggcute is actually more closely related to plant seeds.

There are literally dozens of gen 1 pokemon that can be posted, with no context, in response to gen 1 purists or anyone who thinks the designs have gone downhill.

What if ball? What if ball but magnet? What if worm? What if rock with angry face?

8 of the original 151 are just birds.

4 are various reskins of a fennec fox, and then they did it five more times in future generations.

One is literally “what if pokeball, but Pokémon?!”

Pokémon design is a wonderful mix of inspired insanity and phoning it in and I love it

If that was true then pokemon wouldn't even exist, the guy who came up with the concept was an avid bug catcher and wanted to share his love of it with kids in cities who couldn't go beetle hunting

I always get it backwards, and am shocked every time I relearn that a character in Japan was named Gazelleman, and the American name for him was Dik-Dik Van-Dik.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
