So about these guys. How do you feel about them? What the heck were the designers thingken?

We know Clefairy came first(though it was heavily redesigned later) in the context of them wanting Pokémon with the primary purpose of being cute "pet-like" creatures(in contrast with the combat-oriented and function-oriented kaijus like Rhydon and Lapras respectively). Do you think the other two bloblines spawned from Clefairy as in "let's have a few more of these types of things" or did they come to be independently? Do they have any discernible influences from other media besides maybe Kirby?

that's because no one cares about bland moeblobs and cutesy shit. That's why CHARIZARD is the most shilled Pokemon and not any these three faggots.
And yet Game Freak in their wisdom decided that the next games should be lean more into slop for babies and foids and created the lamest, least popular, least respected generation of Pokémon to ever exist

Anon your goat was designed by a woman and was also a cutesy blobby faggot design that a moid had to make "look cool"

Not that this thing is the reason for Pokemon's success, that was Pikachu, also designed by a woman

Do you think they are soft like marshmallows or rubbery like balloons?

Clefairy and Chansey are soft like marshmallows.
Jigglypuff is rubbery like a balloon.

>indirectly says "*laughs* MERCH SALES BABYYY"
when asked why baby pokemon was added mentions he mentions merch twice.
It was never about GSC, it was about what else they can get you to buy. Little girls, especially back then, rarely played the games as we were still in the cultural mindsets (both eastern and western) that video games are for boys. But they see the baby pokemon in the anime or on toy shelves or their older brother trying to figure out how to get them and they consoom

And, in the world of Pokémon that we study and analyze, there are paranormal Pokémon that possess otherworldly powers. They remain yet-unsolved enigmas. Here we share what we have learned so far.”
Clefairy/fable and Jiggly/Wigglytuff are included in this category in the Tajiri-written pokemon encyclopedia along with the Abra line, Drowzee line, Mime and Jynx. They could have easily been Psychic type too

Clefairy is Normal type in Gens 1 to 5.
>>
>>58234214
Only Jigglypuff is Sound-type
>>
>>58233911
I actually like how Fairy help differentiate them. Instead of three Normal pink blobs, we have pure Fairy pink blob, Normal/Fairy pink blob, and pure Normal pink blob -- with another pink blob being pure Normal but with a type change to Normal/Fairy when it Mega Evolves.

A lot of people think of the "Jigglypuff song" originating in the anime but it was right there in the original games, it plays when you talk to it in the overworld at one of the pokecenters

>>58234424
That's yellow referencing the anime
>>
>>58234449
Probably bait but no, it's in red and blue(and japanese red and green)

The anime song is based on that jingle
>>
>>58233911
Wish they were Normal/Psychic(in gen 1 ) to differentiate them from the brown normal animalslop
>>
>>58233911
I like Jigglypuff as a mon for its design/concept but I feel like it's not super fun to actually use in-game because it feels pretty weak for a while. Wigglytuff feels like a downgrade too.

I like the concept of Chansey but I'm not big on the design. I think Blissey maybe looks a little better.

Clefairy is my favorite Pokemon, not just out of these three but in general. It's fun to use with Metronome + the amount of moves it can learn and its design has kind of a playful/scrappy angle with the fangs and stuff that prevents it from feeling overly cutesy. Not as into Clefable by comparison, but I can live with it

Whitney is a Fairy trainer from an era when Fairy wasn't a type yet
>>
I used a Wigglytuff for the first time in my Violet playthrough and it was surprisingly good, probably because it had Competitive
Also the bunny ears are cute

>>58239190
I can see it

Would be pretty cool if they did a sequel where a type specialist changes type.
