(k) [guest article]

all that mystery for nothing

"Pokémon Gold and Silver got the proud tradition of silly gimmick Pokémon like Spinda and Castform rolling with Unown, the Pokémon with 28 variations, all of them shaped like letters of the alphabet (with some punctuation types thrown in as a bonus). 
Yeah, we were excited, too. Found in the Ruins of Alph, these Pokémon sport only one move (Hidden Power) and exist solely to be collected in all their alphabetic variations. Once found, they're only good for sitting in your box and laughing at you, useless for both breeding and battling. You'll occasionally find the overly committed trainer who goes to the frightening extreme of hunting down every form of Unown just to say they've caught 'em all, but the rest of us can only shake our heads and move on with our lives."
