NIDORAN♂

IN SHOW

Nidoran♂ was once again one of those pokemon who is a background character. It has a lot of episodes under its belt but none that can really be mentioned as important except for the Romeo and Juliet-esque episode where he was in love with a Nidoran♀ but their trainers refused to allow them to see one another. It was cute romance that could only be done because the Nidoran group where the only pokemon to have official genders to their species. How sweet.

WHY YOU WANT A NIDORAN

You want a Nidoran♂ for all the same reasons you would want a Nidoran♀. Only this time Nidoran♂ eventually evolves into Nidoking and not Nidoqueen. Usually, since they were the only two pokemon with gender, it just came down to whether or not you were a boy or a girl. Nidoran♂ had horn attack though whereas Nidoran♀ had scratch, and sometimes it came down to which attack you found to be more useful as well.

WHY YOU DO NOT WANT A NIDORAN

The same reasons you didn’t want a Nidoran♂ would become the same reasons you didn’t want a Nidoran♀. The picture was definitely Nidoran♂-like, but not exactly like the show and it does suck when they get so close to the actual thing and miss it by just enough to be annoying. It would only ever learn poison sting before evolving and when your main type is poison you’d think you could start off with a poison type move.

IN SUMMARY

The problem with writing this review for Nidoran♂ is that Nidoran♂ and Nidoran♀ were essentially the same pokemon except one was female and started off with scratch and one was male and started off with horn attack. Everything I wanted to say for Nidoran♂ I had already said for Nidoran♀, and I didn’t really want to have to repeat myself. So if you want to know what I have to think about Nidoran♂, go look up what I have to think about Nidoran♀.
