Amoonguss
[edit]Since its inception, Amoonguss has received a mixed response. Many reviewers cited Amoonguss's design as unappealing or ugly,[35] though some considered it to have a "silly" vibe that made its design more endearing.[36] Kotaku's Zack Zwiezen noted how Amoonguss's design was unnerving, citing comparisons to the infection from The Last of Us series.[37] David Caballero of Screen Rant also noted Amoonguss's design was "ugly" and something that fans "can't wait to forget." They also criticized its stoic portrayal in the anime, believing it did not aid with endearing Amoonguss to viewers.[38] Criticism was also directed to its similarity with the Pokemon Voltorb and Electrode, who also disguised themselves as Poke Balls.[39] Amoonguss's ability to disguise itself as a Poke Ball was viewed as nostalgic, but the shift to overworld encounters in Scarlet and Violet received criticism, as it was noted that it was now easy to distinguish and did not carry surprise value to encounter anymore.[40] In 2019, an internet meme involving Amoonguss's similarities in design to various aspects from the video game Among Us was stated to have a caused a resurgence in Amoonguss's popularity.[41]
Amoonguss has been noted for its strong viability in competitive battling since its debut.[42][43] Its strong supportive qualities- such as the ability to redirect attacks, put opponents to sleep, and overall longevity- have resulted in players using it to a significantly high degree. In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's competitive scene, its presence was noted as overwhelming for players, to the point where players would inflict negative status conditions on their own Pokémon to prevent Amoonguss from putting them to sleep.[44][45] In a competitive Pokémon competition tournament held in Orlando, Florida, player Wolfe Glick's Amoonguss was the last Pokémon left on Glick's team and dealt the final blow to his opponent, Neil Patel. Transphobic comments from Patel later surfaced after the battle, resulting in the competitive community labelling Amoonguss as a transgender rights icon. The battle was stated to have greatly increased the adoration towards Amoonguss in the community,[46] with a large number of fanworks being made. Following this, a large outpouring of support for transgender players increased.[47]
Hypno
[edit]Since its inception, Hypno has been regarded for its dark backstory, primarily its child-abducting tendencies.[48] Its humanoid design has been cited as creepy, and a reason why its design was considered unappealing.[49] Hypno's child abducting tendencies resulted in a popular Creepypasta, dubbed "Hypno's Lullaby" being created, which centered around a song focusing on Hypno as a child thief.[49] Hypno became the focus of several creepypastas, such as popular ROM Hacks.[50][51][52]

Minor bit on hair ornaments [56]
A Magnemite plush was released with Magnemite's magnets upside-down. This prompted an apology from The Pokémon Company.[57] Magnemite, alongside Magneton, appeared on a PokeFuta manhole cover in the Osaka Prefecture.[58]
James Stephanie Sterling of Destructoid criticized Magnemite's design, citing that its inorganic appearance acted as a precursor for later designs while also appearing highly unnatural in comparison to the rest of the series' cast.[59] Other writers agreed,[60] with its design similarity highlighted as lazy or simple.[61][62]
PokeRogue
[edit]Development
[edit]PokeRogue was created by the user "Flashfyre." PokeRogue was initially an old project of Flashfyre's, which was combined with roguelite influences to create the final game. Flashfyre originally worked on the game by themselves for nine months, though the project eventually gained numerous people working on it, with a community soon forming around the game to work on and improve it.[63] PokeRogue released on March 11th, 2024. Following the addition of an ending to the game's story later that year, Flashfyre announced that they were leaving the project.[64]
Gameplay
[edit]PokeRogue is a rogue-like game, in which players must select a team of Pokémon at the start and work through a randomly generated string of opponents while managing limited resources. Players clear individual Pokémon battles, with each "floor" having ten battles before the player moves onto the next one. Each floor has a set cap on the player's Pokémon's' levels, which is upgraded each time the player clears a floor. Players' Pokémon are additionally healed after every ten battles.[65] Boss opponents, which include the player's "rival" and returning characters from mainline Pokémon series games, are also encounterable, and give out "Egg Tickets" when defeated.[66]
Players can use items to cause various effects both in and out of battle, which are obtained as players progress. Shiny Pokémon- rarer, alternately colored versions of Pokémon- additionally have an added perk of increasing the player's chances of getting better items. If the player loses, they get reset back to the start.[65] Other items can be purchased in between battles.[66]
Pokémon obtained in later attempts are added as Pokémon that can be selected for the player's initial team.[65] Pokémon selected range from 1-9 points, with combinations of numbers adding up to or less than 10 being the maximum point cap.[66] Players can additionally capture a different version of the same Pokémon, allowing them to get a version with different combat statistics. "Egg Tickets" can also be used, which allow players to obtain Pokémon with special moves out of Eggs.[66] Players can also "fuse" Pokemon, allowing them to obtain other in-battle abilities and alterations to their base stats.[67]
PokeRogue is browser-based, meaning it does not require a download to play.[67] The game features a "Daily Run" mechanic, allowing players to play set paths of opponents once per day.[67]
Reception
[edit]PokeRogue has been noted for its popularity since it released.[66] PokeRogue's popularity has been noted to be in part due to its simple formula, as well as its quality. with Ben Sledge of TheGamer stating that "PokeRogue’s gameplay is simple, and there’s beauty in that simplicity. It’s more engaging than any Nintendo-produced Pokemon game since New Snap, it’s more exciting than many of the mindless roguelikes churned out for a quick buck on Steam."[65] Theo Listston of RetroDodo also responded positively to the game, stating that "Pokérogue successfully captures that magic of the best roguelites with its swift combat and tantalising progression system that consistently tempts players with ‘just one more run’."[68] Josh Challies of DotEsports also praised its uniqueness in comparison to mainline Pokémon games, citing the variety and variability in the game's roguelite formula.[69] Following its release, as of May 13th, 2024, over one billion battles took place in the game.[64]
Developer Leaving
[edit]On May 16, 2024, Flashfyre announced they were leaving the PokeRogue project, stating that with the size of the project, they realized they would not have time to manage both the project and their personal life, citing their faith, family, and job. Flashfyre announced that other community members would take over the project following their departure.[70]
Following this announcement, much discussion was held, and comments between Flashfyre and another member of PokeRogue's Discord server emerged wherein Flashfyre stated that they were "far from pro-trans." Following the announcement, a moderator of the Discord stated that Flashfyre "do not speak for [the remaining PokeRogue developers] as a community." A community manager was hired soon after, who proceeded to ban several moderators, causing the server to temporarily shut down.[71] More transphobic comments emerged from other server moderators, causing further debate within the community.[71]
Eating Pokémon
[edit][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86]
Eating Pokémon in the series
[edit]While Pokémon are ever explicitly stated to be eaten in the series, various aspects of Pokémon are. The Pokémon Slowpoke have tails that fall off naturally that are eaten by characters throughout the series and stated to be eaten by people,[87] though they are stated to fall off naturally from the Pokémon.[88] The villainous organization Team Rocket sold Slowpoke Tails in Pokémon Gold and Silver, which was stated to be an illegal act.[87] Slowpoke Tails are later used in games such as Pokémon Sword and Shield as food items, which can be eaten by the player character.[88]
Other Pokémon have had aspects of their design used in food, such as the cow-like Pokémon Miltank, whose milk is consumed by humans and Pokémon in the series. Dialogue in the Pokémon anime series implies the Pokémon Farfetch'd and Magikarp are eaten by humans, with the former being hunted to near extinction due to their taste.[88]
As the series progressed, references to Pokémon as food lessened[89][90] until Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, where more overt references were made to Pokémon being eaten, with the Pokémon Klawf and Toedscool being stated to have elements of them fall off naturally, which are then eaten in meals.[87][90]
Analysis of role
[edit]The question of if humans in the series ate Pokémon has been a contentious topic with fans of the series. Charles Pulliam Moore of The Verge noted how, due to the intelligence and friendliness of Pokémon depicted in media for the series, the concept of people eating them makes fans of the series uncomfortable.[87]
When asked in an interview about whether Pokémon were eaten by humans, series director Junichi Masuda laughed and said "I’m actually curious about that as well."[89] In another interview with Game Informer, Masuda stated that "There’s a lot of fruits and vegetables in the world of Pokémon. There is also a variety of snacks and various candies and whatnot that come from the different regions. The Pokémon world is much more technologically advanced than the world of our own, so perhaps there is probably a lot of different food that we can’t even think of."[91] Interviews held with Masuda and Sword and Shield director Shigeru Ohmori stated that they didn't "know what it is" in regards to being asked about in-game sausages used in making food.[92]
Madame Kovarian
[edit]Madame Kovarian's role in the series has been the subject of analysis. She has been noted for encompassing the "dark fairytale" themes of Steven Moffat's writing in Doctor Who. The book Steven Moffat's Doctor Who 2011: The Critical Fan's Guide to Matt Smith's Second Series noted that Kovarian's role was akin to that of a cariacture, due to her rather limited role, though Barber's performance was praised.[93] The book Doctor Who and Science: Essays on Ideas, Identities and Ideologies in the Series.... analyzed Kovarian's role, notably comparing her role to that of a stereotypical mad scientist. It analyzed her role in dehumanizing River Song by placing her within the space suit in "Closing Time," and additionally noted the usage of technology in her plans. Noting Kovarian's eyepatch, a stereotypical symbol of a mysterious woman, the book stated that, alongside other examples of female scientists in Doctor Who, fall into extreme stereotypes and were negative messages towards women who wished to enter the science field.[94]
Kecleon
[edit]Development
[edit]Kecleon is a Pokémon based on chameleons. Kecleon can turn camouflage itself to appear invisible.[95] Kecleon was one of the first Pokémon from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire to be revealed to the public, and appeared in the Pokémon anime prior to its release in the games. A purple Kecleon was used in promotion and was featured in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, but is not obtainable in the main series games.[96][97]
When asked about the time it took to include Kecleon in the game, the game's Director of Global Marketing, Michael Steranka, answered that "Kecleon has unique properties in the main series games, abilities that no other Pokémon shares so we want to make sure we do right by its original design when incorporating it into augmented reality."[98] Steranka told Inverse in an interview that the team had set a deadline of adding Kecleon to the game by the time of the "Pokémon Go Tour: Hoenn" in-game event, which predominantly featured Pokémon from Ruby and Sapphire.[99] Kecleon's unique method of finding it in-game, which requires the player to walk to "Pokestop" locations based off real world locations, was designed to encourage players of the game to go outside again following the COVID-19 pandemic.[99]
Kecleon was released briefly in 2018, prior to the reveal of the Pokémon Meltan in the game. The Kecleon encountered in the wild would turn into Ditto upon being encountered.[100] Meltan's initial icons in the code of the game were additionally named "Kecleon."[101] A bug involving Kecleon's inclusion in the game, which had Kecleon be able to be seen on the Pokestop in the game's overworld if tapped on from afar, was later patched into the game as a feature by Niantic, which was received positively by players.[102]
Reception
[edit]Kecleon's inclusion in the game Pokémon Go was a source of major discussion. Due to being the last Pokémon introduced in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire to be added to the game, fans of the series discussed why the Pokémon had not yet been included. The hashtag, "JusticeForKecleon" had been popular with fans of the series, and was used as a rallying cry for Kecleon's inclusion,[103] with Kecleon's lack of inclusion being considered a meme within the community.[104] Inverse's Steven Asarch noted that while Kecleon was a predominantly unpopular and forgettable Pokémon in the main series games, it had become an elusive figure among fans of the game due to its lack of addition.[99] Kecleon has been described as being the most anticipated Pokémon addition in the game's history.[105]
TheGamer's Stacey Henley, prior to Kecleon's addition to the game, noted that Kecleon was "more interesting to think about than it is to actually use," noting that while players had nostalgia over its role in prior games, the Pokémon was unpopular overall.[106] She stated that Kecleon's addition "put Niantic into an impossible position," noting that releasing Kecleon without fanfare would make players question why Kecleon's addition had taken so long, but that Kecleon itself was a Pokémon that was unable to drum up excitement in the game's playerbase. They noted that while Kecleon could have been an interesting inclusion, it was uninteresting enough that Kecleon was unable to drum up significant excitement.[106] Ben Sledge, also writing for TheGamer, noted that Kecleon's eventual inclusion in the games had an enjoyable implementation that was devoid of the game's usual timed event mechanics, and noted that the rarity of it was an effective measure. However, he felt that the eventual release of the Pokémon felt underwhelming overall.[105]
Omanyte
[edit]Leftovers from Pikachu to use later
[edit]In 2016, it was announced that the name of Pikachu and other Pokémon in Hong Kong would be changed in order to unify the names of Pokémon across the various Chinese languages. More than 6000 people signed a petition to keep the names of the Pokémon the same, citing the decision as ignoring Hong Kong's culture, with activist group Civic Passion stating that "Pikachu has been in Hong Kong for more than 20 years... It is not simply a game or comic book, it is the collective memory of a generation."[107] Protests were held, deriding the change in name.[108][109] Nintendo's Hong Kong office responded by stating that all Chinese Pokémon fans should adopt the unified pronunciation.[109] A later statement clarified that they did not intend to limit pronunciations, and that despite the unified pronunciation being the "official" one, they stated there was no limit on how people could pronounce the character's name.[110]
