5 Major Mistakes by Pokémon

Throughout my childhood, I played all of the Pokémon games, even Pokémon Snap, a game before my time. A game that has been praised by children and adults alike, Pokémon has been one of the single greatest series of all times. The 5 Pokémon shown below are hiccups in the system, but also can be seen as disgraces to the series.

5. Lumineon

What is this thing? Is it a butterfly? A fish? Dumbo? Who knows?! This generation 4 Pokémon loses touch with all rules the creators of the original Pokémon laid. Apparently, it glows, hence the lumi- prefix. According to the Pokémon Pearl Pokédex, Lumineon "Avoids detection by predators, it crawls along the seafloor using the two fins on its chest." Why does it crawl instead of swim, like any other fish? This fish seems like it was that kid in middle school that the teacher made the mistake of telling them that they're very smart but too lazy. The smug look on this fish-thing's face clearly gives off an air of, "I'm too good to swim like a normal fish." Truly Pokémon creators, what did you do here?


4. Klefki

This Pokémon is the ever so creative keyring! How joyous the occasion that you're walking on Route 113 in the tall grass and get jumped by a keyring! According to the Pokédex entries of Pokémon X and Omega Ruby, Klefki, the key collectors, threaten any attackers by "fiercely jingling their keys at them." You walk by and hear a large jingling of keys— you better sprint for your life! Here comes Klefki to wreak havoc! I don't see why this was a good idea.

3. Cacturne

Cacturne is pretty cool, right? Wrong! He is a walking cactus that looks like a cowboy walking out of the saloon that you just looked at the wrong way. Not only that, but he also looks like a scarecrow. In generation 3, Pokémon Saffire, the Cacturne Pokédex entry says, "If a traveler is going through a desert in the thick of night, Cacturne will follow in a ragtag group. The Pokémon are biding their time, waiting for the traveler to tire and become incapable of moving." This cactus/cowboy/scarecrow Pokémon waits until you get tired to jump you. Pokémon seems to lose the touch of imagination every generation.

2. Probopass

Pokémon, I'll keep this one quick— what is even going on here? Attack of Easter Island? By the time of the release of Generation 4, the Easter Island craze had been over, so why this rejuvenation of it?

1. Garbodor

"Garbodor has the appearance of a pile of trash spilling out of a large, torn garbage bag." What's up with that? This Pokémon is literally a pile of trash. As a child that consistently played every Pokémon, the fifth generation confused me with a pile of trash that, in this GIF, is throwing a full trash bag. With so many Pokémon, one can see it would be tough to continue the creative genius, but this is anything but genius. This is trash. If this Pokémon could speak, it'd probably only capable of one line, "Time to take out the trash."

Thank you, Pokémon, for the endless hours of fun play. But please, get some new creators to keep the imaginative genius going!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
