It’s high time Pokémon fans give Vanillite the respect it deserves

With every new generation of Pokémon, there’s a horde of upset players who focus their ire on creatures that justify—in their minds—the suggestion that Game Freak has run out of ideas. Well, today, I stand here to defend the swords, the rubbish, and the ice cream cones.

Okay, I admit that my gallant declaration reads more like a strange Chronicles of Narnia spin-off than a thoughtful and impassioned Pokémon essay. Nevertheless, I truly feel it is time to dispel the myth that Game Freak has lost its Midas touch. My inspiration for this defense of the defenseless is a Reddit thread that popped up on Dec. 13. The meme speaks for itself.
