As the title probably implies I'll be talking about pokemon in this entry, but in the spoiler below there are some FO4 shots for you.

But anyway onto the pokemon stuff, this occured to me while I was out getting food when I caught a few Charmanders in pokemon GO (I now only need 28 candy to get a Charizard) and I realised the Charmander evolutionary line is probably the perfect example of a pokemon evolutionary line. Now my favourite pokemon of all time is Arcanine but I feel that the Charamnder line is one of the few evolutionary lines that doesn't fall into either of the two traps most other lines fall into those being the trap of it just gets bigger and the trap of the evolution having nothing to do with it's previous forms. So the Charmander line goes Charmander > Charmeleon > Charizard (as just about everyone knows) so you start off with a fairly cute bipedal orange lizard with no horns and a flame on the tip of its tail then evolves into a larger less cute red bipedal lizard with a flame on its tail and one horn and finally into a big orange bipedal dragon with two horns (that can mega evolve into either a more streamlined version of itself with 3 horns or into an edgelord's version of Charizard) and as you can see the line keeps a similar theme, that of a bipedal reptile with a flame on its tail, adding more horns, changing its colour before finally becoming a dragon. The entire line manages to keep its theme with a satisfying payout to reward you for levelling it up (that payout being one of the most recognisable and popular pokemon in the franchise) it's no wonder that this evolutionary line was used in the anime as one of Ash's first fully evolved pokemon (the second after Butterfree iirc, although I don't really count Butterfree as anyone in the pokemon world can get a Butterfree) and has appeared throughout the seasons as one of his go to battlers. Now in comparison to a more recwent line, that being the Litten line, where you start out with a black and red cat which is pretty cool if a bit simplistic design wise that evolves into a tiger cub? Before finally becoming a dude in a fursuit. The only thing tying these 3 pokemon together is the fact that they're vaguely cat like (and like I said Incineroar is a dude in a fursuit) and are fire types and that's about it. Honestly the designs for the starter pokemon have been going down hill since gen 3 (all 3 of the starter's in gen 3 are perfect) and especially when it comes to the fire starters (heh) as Infernape was the last actually decent one and even then it was basically Blaziken in monkey form.

Overall I think a lot of the newer pokemon designs are far weaker than the old ones and as the series has gotten more entries the pokemon added have gotten far cartoonier. I'm actually partly dreading future generations of pokemon games as we'll probably end up with pokemon that look nothing like ones from older gens as they'll have a completely different artstyle to them, you'll go catch a pidgey which looks like it could feasibly be a bird in real life to trying to catch Daffy fucking Duck.
 

But that's me done with the pokemon shite, here's two shots of FO Cris. I'll leave it up to your imaginations as to why she's in the Vault-Tec Slavesuit in the second image.
