BenJen's Blog

Welcome to my blog. A place where you may not find consistency, but where you will find various rants and irrelevant anecdotes, and 'witty' text on the subject of whatever crops up into a poor student's mind.
Please, do try to enjoy it... Constructive criticism is more than welcomed.

Have a nice day now, chaps and chappettes.

Warning: May contain traces of football, video games, and musical ramblings... It's mostly the latter, in truth.

My Favourite Pokémon: #28

Seadra


Now we're talking - it's my first entrant from the beloved first generation to grace this list. There aren't many more radical improvements in Pokémon than when that annoying little shit of a creature called Horsea (okay, so he's fairly cute) evolves into the beast that is Seadra. The jagged fins, the scaled chest, the narrowed eyes that'll never stop glaring - Horsea got way cooler. I remember buying a mint condition Seadra trading card for 20p in a car boot sale and being absolutely over the moon with my purchase. Interestingly (if, of course by 'interestingly' you in fact mean 'boringly'), that was the first time I ever referred to anything as being in mint condition. Obviously I mean on the day I bought it, and not in the instance I used the word earlier in this very paragraph. Anyway, Seadra's the first Pokémon in my top 30 to really kick arse.
