Onomatopoeia

bouncing sounds

He could be cute. There is that potential. I can see a certain group of people maintaining Spoink's cuteness. But does he deserve our respect?

His color scheme is pretty unsuitable. Grey and pink? If you stare at him long enough I guess it becomes more acceptable, but honestly it reminds me of an eraser stain. Blush is always lame.

The tail a dumb idea, it it looks really creepy. A developer went to work one day, saw a picture of a pig, and then thought, Man. That thing's tail looks like a spring. So that's the gimmick. It's a pig Pokémon which bounces around on its spring tail.

At first I thought the pink orb on the top of his head-body was apart of his head-body, but its actually just a pearl that Spoinks find to increase their psychic powers. It isn't always pink, the developers just made pink the default (true story!).

But here's the most interesting or the most depreciating thing about Spoink. Pokédex entry:

"Spoink bounces around on its tail. The shock of its bouncing makes its heart pump. As a result, this Pokémon cannot afford to stop bouncing - if it stops, its heart will stop."

Uh...... what?

As I regain my composure, consider this. You encounter one of these in the wild. You battle. You win. It faints. It stops bouncing. It dies. You're a f*cking monster.

Anyways. Spoink is kind of pathetic. I'll end it right there.
