Oh god you people can be freaking ridiculous sometimes.
I cannot believe anybody is bothered by the fact that a
pokemon just happens to look like ice cream instead of another redundant, pandering anthro fox or cartoon dinosaur.
All pokemon are innately childish, ridiculous, absurd, impossible things.
That is their entire appeal. No matter how hard you may want to deny it, you are attracted to pokemon primarily because of its absurdity and childishness. You are fans of a franchise where electric rats and flaming chickens are collected in vending machine eggs. An ice monster that accidentally resembles an ice cream cone is not, in any way, a stupider or less believable concept than any fire-breathing dragon, steel plated bird or a giant, intelligent insect with eye beams. Some of you are just stuck in an incredibly narrow, uptight, stuffy ideal of what's allowed to be considered "cool."
It's downright saddening how much modern fanboys and fangirls can hate on
whimsy because they want to shoehorn everything behind some arbitrary line of what makes "sense."
Who cares?
I hope Sixth gen finally gives us a fire/water pokemon and it's a crock pot full of chicken noodle soup with sunglasses and a skateboard named ChiknDudle just to shut people up about how ice-cream-shaped ice-monsters ruined everything forever.
Now that I've said it I really do want that as a pokemon that would be awesome.
Garbodor is just a pile of garbage
And why the hell do people keep saying this?
Here is a pile of garbage:
Here is Garbodor:
You wouldn't even know Garbodor was made of trash if you weren't told. It's a bulky biped, roughly resembling some sort of stone or clay golem, with an underlying metal skeleton, a face like a shark's and it wears its prevolution's "skin" like a mask. There is no mistaking Garbodor for any other drawing of garbage or any other monster made of garbage. It's completely unique, thoughtfully designed and unmistakable at even a glance.
