Celebrity Bangmatch - Rillaboom uses tackle!

Powerbottom is the way! These guys have to ride the opponent 'till one of them will let it go inside the winners' body. Rillaboom is not even the talking kind of pokemon so its charisma has to come entirely from his physical performance! Surrender by snu snu!

This match is particularly difficult color-wise because it has a very colorful character (a pokémon, marketed towards "children") and a very desaturated one, Kaiman. His colors are very dull, the green of his face is not even green but more a dark yellow. I know that this palette fits the mood for a story set in a cesspit of a dystopian city, but guys, it's very hard to make him stand out in static art.

🔴 Side note, I know that pokemon type effectivenesses have some sense, but that comes from the desperate attempt to cram decades JRPG tropes in a GB cartridge.

For example, the Electric Type is the translation of the Wind Element (you know, wind, storm, lightning) and that's why it's supereffective on flying pokémon, despite flying objects can't be hit by lighting IRL.

And that's the problem of Pokémon: they kept game dynamics meant to play a JRPG in a $20 cartridge in their $90 Switch games.

Pokémon, the brand that churns out billions every year, and can't spare one of them to make a modern game, and instead keeps its relevance by copying Digimon, with anthros and hypers.

Uh, sorry for the rant.

See you soon!
