I love you, Wailord.

Q: Which Pokémon is the largest in all existence, is vital for catching four legendaries, is huggable, adorable, probably wouldn't eat you, and has a menu sprite that looks like a piece of nigiri?


A: IT'S WAILORD!

Wailord rules. Forget Ponyta, Wailord would probably let me and all my friends ride on his back, ferrying me across Hoenn in search of pirate treasure. I could even build a little tent inside his mouth, and he'd keep me safe as we dive underwater and explore the bottom of the sea...together.

I want a giant Wailord snuggle plushie.

Wailord is an unsung hero, only achieving recognition for his ability to breed with Skitty, but think about it—you couldn't get Regirock, Regice and Registeel (and therefore, couldn't get Regigigas) without a Wailord in your party.

I love you, Wailord. Even if no one else does.
