Rating the Pikachu Knock-Offs
7. Plusle and Minun
I'm grouping these two together because they have the same underwhelming effect on me. I understand that they're kind of a Pichu knock-off in the sense of how they're shaped, but both Pikachu and Pichu have more of an appeal to them. Both Plusle and Minun are bland in how they look and if I'm recalling correctly, underwhelming in power. (I will admit that isn't a reason to hate any Pokemon alone-my personal favorite is Jolteon and there have been issues in combat with him. With most of the Eeveelutions, really.) Both of these little guys are there to get another Dex entry, it feels like, and then they just sit there. Also, I get the theme they're going for, but the theme falls a little flat when there's so little interesting about these two otherwise.
