King of scythes pic:
There are many, many things that could be said about one of the most badass things ever conceived by a human mind, the King of Scythes (Creepbutops, take notes).
For example, and I say this as a Blue owner, how could anyone even think that Pinsir could make up for even 1/4 of the lack of this handsome devil? Didn't we already get the shaft hard enough by having lolmagmar instead of Buzz? Why did you discriminate Blue this much?
Or, since I promised some more Pokémon Snap love, let's talk about the challenge of taking a good pic of Scyther, after throwing pester balls at random in the grass and hoping to hit it. I've played that game to death and a good Scyther pic is one of the most satisfying things that you could get, it's probably one of the hardest ones to get right and the reward isn't even close to the one for dumb Pikachus raging on a stupid chopped trunk. Now, with the Wii U, I hope that someone will bring Pokémon Snap back because it was possibly the best and most original Pokémon spin-off ever.
(This is good, maybe a bit closer would've been excellent).[/snaplove].
Tracey's Scyther? I'm not a fan of old guys, but it was so heroic I couldn't help but side with it, despite looking a bit too old for my tastes.
I LOVE Scyther, if I'm using one I usually refuse to evolve it, not because I hate Scizor but because Scyther looks so much cooler and is still kind of viable for the most part. Don't forget that Scyther is said to have ninja-like traits. Besides looking great, it is the "original" Double Team user, you don't think of Scyther without thinking of it creating lots of replicas of itself and quickly slicing the enemy in the blink of an eye.
It looks amazing, it does flashy stuff, it has scythes, it has everything... or maybe not?
Sorry Scythe, but I couldn't help finding this one hilarious.
