So I've been catching up on BW to finally reach Dawn's episodes. Oshawott deserves to be in Like a Boss Tier, because of his awesome personality.
I can get on board with that
Yeah, he might just be Piplup done right.
But not that! >=(
How dare you associate Oshawott with Fathead just because they're both blue unevolved Water starters for their regions that are both fairly confident and bursting with personality!?
The difference is that Fathead's personality leads him to be overconfident in his ability, thus leading him to take challenges it has no hope of winning in some desperate bid to prove itself or something. Also directly disobeying his partner/owner's orders for the hell of it because he thinks he knows best. You won't see that sort of stupidity or overconfidence coming from Osha, NO SIR!
Fathead has a misunderstanding with Kenny's Prinplup. First instinct? Challenge it and don't back down because you are a proud and stupid penguin! I can't remember the result of that fight, but I hope he lost because he deserves no less than some hard reality.
Oshawott sees a random dude owning its evolved form. First instinct? Cut his losses and back the hell down. How about when Ash sends it against a monkey it has a type disadvantage to- first instinct? Imply Ash is being an idiot by declining the stupid idea!
Oshawott is amazing. Fathead is a fathead. They have almost everything in common, and yet... they have nothing in common!
*pant, pant, gasp*
