Sandslash was my very first pokemon to reach LVL 100, and was a party member for my first ever victory over the Elite Four...ah, brings back memories of the good ol' Blue/Red/Yellow/Green days...

God I miss my Sandslash.

I've always thought Sandslash was one of the most badass Pokemon ever.

This picture confirms my beliefs.

i was never a big fan of sandslash,
but after seeing this....

'shrew and 'slash are visually solid 'mons (that is, they look solid, not that they are visually sound, which they are, don't get me wrong). This, though, is a parallel sort of solidarity.

I still end up with Dugtrio, though.

Bakuryu, The Mole.

In the first gen, this was in my opinion the best ground type to have on my team. I always ended up with one...and never regretted it.

Realistic Pokemon.
I hope this is a trend that never ends.

I'm starting to think that we should create a pool for these. Screw moemon, realistic pokemon are awesome.
