#569 Garbodor: Trash Heap Pokémon [guest article]





"I’m not sure what I can say about this literal pile of trash. Garbodor looks like the misshapen bastard child of Domo-kun and Pippi Longstocking, as conceived by Marcel Duchamp. How did it pass whatever quality assurance test Pokémon undergo? And why am I just now asking that question? I know Poison-types and awful design choices are frequent bedfellows, but Garbodor has the important distinction of being both terrible and lazy. I can only imagine the discussion that led to its birth. "We just finished the ice cream cone. What's next?" "How about a bag of trash?" "Brilliant! And it can be Poison-type, because… get it… haha, garbage!""
