Sorry for the intrusion, but what are your opinions about Cherubi and Cherrim? They’re two of my favourites(I even used them in White 2, since I got him in a trade), even though I know they’re rather useless.

(Sorry about taking so long to get around to this; have been very busy lately)

Cherubi and Cherrim are… meh.  You might recall my general distaste towards Sunflora for being a Grass Pokémon whose thing is that she likes sunlight – a characteristic shared by all Grass Pokémon – and this bugs me about Cherrim as well, but at least she can claim to have a unique mechanical and thematic quirk that shows her association with sunlight is stronger than it is for most other Grass-types.  The design is not particularly inspired, but the choice of a cherry is admittedly a nice touch, since the shift from cherry fruit to cherry blossom allows for a dramatic change which still makes intuitive sense and is easy to comprehend (especially for a Japanese audience).  I don’t think they really needed to be in the game, exactly, and it’s clear that they don’t have much of a battling niche outside of doubles, but… I guess I’m not that upset that they exist?  Uh.  So yeah.
