I’ve always been a big fan of Starmie. Enough people have written about Starmie’s incredible power and skill that there’s no need for me to, but I love its design as well. Connecting a starfish Pokémon with actual stars is an intuitive but also interesting move, and the strong departure from naturalism created by the addition of the central gem gives it a nice air of mystery and power. People know Starmie’s up to something, as it sends its cryptic signals out into the night sky, but it’s anyone’s guess what that is… and wouldn’t it be fun to find out?
