I know right? What a completely new and original concept that’s never been done before, ever.

But it’s not really the genre of game that interests me so much as it is SWERY’s involvement. He’s really good at character development/interaction. And I don’t know if he can ever top Deadly Premonition’s plot twist, but I’m sure there’ll be something way deeper than turning into house pets once a month.

Isn’t that right, Jolteon?

Jolteon: Oh absolutely!

Jolteon: Jolteon! Jo-jolt! Jolteon-on jo-jolt. Jolte-e-eon! Jolteon!

Miltank: Miltank!

Jolteon: Ooooo… lteon.

Well, since I don’t have any asks I’m just gonna poke-rant for a moment.

Okay, so all the Eevee-lutions have at least a relative use for their respective hidden abilities, except one.

Who thought it would be a good idea to give Jolteon Quick Feet for it’s hidden ability? Jolteon is not terribly sturdy; if it gets hit by something it doesn’t resist more than once, it’s probably already down (if it survives the first hit). For the ability to activate Jolteon has to be poison, burned, or paralyzed, the later of which it is immune to as of gen 6 (and never something you want to be regardless). Being poisoned or burned takes away critical health for an already fragile pokemon.

But even if Jolteon is burned or poisoned, what exactly is it going to do with the extra speed? It’s already in a six-way tie for 11th fastest Pokemon overall; and 4th if you don’t count mega evolutions or legendaries. So why didn’t they give it something useful like Lightning Rod or, like, anything that doesn’t involve boosting speed?

And of course I complain because the Jolteon I have has Quick Feet when I would have rather had the default Volt Absorb.
