Pokémon 6 Problems With Galar s Starter Trio And 4 Things We Love

While we certainly love Grookey, Scorbunny, Sobble and their evolutions, they are not completely absent of any problems. The Galarian starters have been a breath of fresh air for fans. They're different, and this new trio are great companions to take on your journey. However, they aren't perfect. Today, we're going to be taking a look at six different problems that we have with Grookey, Sobble and Scorbunny, along with a few things that we love about them. Let's get into all of it, in no particular order. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY

Love How Cute The First Forms Are

Via nintendosoup.com Grookey, Scorbunny and Sobble are so, so cute. Every single one of them has their own special vibe to them that makes them super appealing, and they're just bursting with personality. Grookey is cleaely the cutest, that's just a factual statement, but the others are also fantastic. Whoever you choose to pick is an absolutely great choice, and will be a great friend on your journey through the region.

Problem Why Is Sobble So Sad

via nintendowire.com One of the defining traits of Sobble is just how sad the poor boy is, it's heartbreaking. He deserves the world. The weird thing though, is that it's never really explained why it is that he's sad? Usually, the starters get a lot of backstory that explain their various quirks and personalities. But not Sobble. He's just, kind of timid and sad. It would have been nice to know why exactly it is that Sobble cries at the drop of a hat. An entire vibe, of course, but some explanation would have been nice. Sobble's evolutionary line raises even more questions, though.

Problem Sobble s Growth

So, we've already explained that Sobble's need to cry (once again, same) is a little odd. What's weirder is the fact that Sobble's final evolution is... a secret agent? Why? What in the world would indicate that the crying boi would grow into a secret agent? His middle evolution is also just emo, so there's absolutely no reason that this is what Sobble would grow into. Don't worry, we're going to be going over problems we have with the other starters, but at least their growth makes sense. Sobble evolutionary line follows no clear path, and that's an oddity among starter Pokémon.

Love Inteleon Anyway

While Sobble's growth makes absolutely no sense, Inteleon is still great. This skinny little lizard man is a secret agent for some reason, and that's great. Do you think that he's a self proclaimed secret agent, or that he actually is one? Like, is there an FBI in the Pokémon world? Do they hire Pokémon? You think there's like... a Skitty who analyzes and enhances photos for the FBI? Is that one of the Poké Jobs that you can send your Pokémon out to do? ...What were we talking about? Who knows.

Problem Thwackey Stops Revitalizing Plants

Grookey's Sword Pokédex entry explains that when Grookey drums, the soundwaves that it creates revitalizes nearby plants. That's cute. Thwackey though, its , doesn't? Maybe it just isn't at all mentioned in the Pokédex to seem redundant from Grookey's entry, but there seems to be absolutely no indication that Thwackey does the same thing, which is kind of weird. Maybe he's just too emo to save the world. Either way, it is a strange omission. Maybe it isn't so odd, as Rillaboom seem to just destroy trees in order to make drumsets for themselves. Speaking of Rillaboom...

Problem Where Is Rillaboom Keeping That Drum

via: USGamer Can someone please explain where this man is keeping a full drumset? How does that work? He literally pulls one out of nowhere for his signature move, Drum Beating, so he has to just kind of have it somewhere, ready to use when necessary. Well, there doesn't seem to be anywhere that he can actually store it. Maybe he pays a Grookey from his clan to follow him around and throw the drumset at him when he's ready to play. That's probably the most logical answer. Whatever the real answer is, some clarification would be great.

Love Grookey

via.YouTube Look. Look at that face. Sit there and tell me that this is not one of the cutest starters that we've had in years. You can't. He is incredible. Grookey is a baddie. Yeah, Sobble's sad and Scorbunny just seems like an annoying sixth grader, but Grookey. This lil boy just loves to drum and have a good time. Sure, his final evolution, Rillaboom, isn't anything that spectacular, but that's fine. You can have a level 80 Grookey on your team that is perfectly okay and what you should do in this situation, honestly.

Problem Cinderace s Weird Pebble Thing

Cinderace is the final evolution of Scorbunny, and there are many questions that can be asked about this thing. Our first one is about the fact that is when Cinderace kicks a pebble, it turns into a flaming soccer ball. Alright, what do you even ask in a situation like that? What question suffices? Is there one? There's so many questions that can be asked that it's almost just not worth asking anything at all. How... you know what, let's just get to the next question.

Problem Cinderace s Clothes

This obviously isn't just a question just for Cinderace, but a large number of Pokémon, but... tell us about the clothes. Were workout clothes inspired by Cinderace, or did Cinderace's look change over the years to blend in more with Galar's theme? Was it the chicken or the egg? This is never anything that we're going to get an answer to, but it's just really strange when a Pokémon's fur pattern is just . Thumbs down.

Love Scorbunny s Originality

Scorbunny is pretty cute, we can all agree on that. Scorbunny has a nice and refreshing design, and it's final evolution, Cinderace, isn't a giant monster like most fire-type starters end up looking like at the end of their evolutionary lines. Instead, he ends up as a lithe soccer player that's ready to go. That's nice. Usually, fire-type starters fit a specific archetype, so it's nice to see some change on that front.
