hi! i don't know if you just didn't see but all of our coining posts have image ids in the alt text :3 we also don't have pro-endos on our dni but you say you block anti-endos on sight so if you're uncomfortable interacting with us in the future because of that , we won't take it personally!

— @rwuffles

Oh, I partly put that tag on the post(s) since while the flags have ids (Which is great don't get me wrong!), the dividers don't, and we've been thinking about splitting our "doesn't have an image id" tag into a few separate tags where it clarifies "the dividers don't have Ids", "The flags don't have Ids" and "Nothing has Ids", but we obviously haven't gotten to that yet lol And with the other part, since we know you personally (If you don't recognize us, we share a certain server where the icon is galarian zigzagoon), we are more comfortable with interacting with you, and you interacting with us in turn. Since overall you seem pretty polite about it all, heh. But still! Thank you for the warning! We appreciate it lol.

I don't think enough people talk about how iconic the Galarian zigzagoon line is.

Like, look at these guys!

The zigzagoon has little star sunglasses as fur patches???? The linoone looks sick as hell. Plus, obstagoon being exclusive to this regional variant??? Rad.

Everything else about us might be horrible, but at least we've got some sick ass 'mons.

PokemonIRL RP blog, basically. This is a sideblog and I follow from @/windtraces. Fionn or Sleepyhead work for names, they/he pronouns, 23 years old.

Basic DNI applies (proship, bigot, you know the drill). I'll just block if I'm uncomfortable. Outside of that, I'm fine interacting with just about anyone, I'm just shy

I'm extremely tempted to keep the default icon, theme, colors, etc as a joke.

The Zigzagoon Family

Meanwhile, Gen 3’s early game Normal type is much more noteworthy! Zigzagoon is a little ruffled raccoon featuring jagged layers of fur matching its name. The fur is apparently rigid, making it spiky like a hedgehog as well. It has an adorable eye mask-like marking over its eyes like real raccoons too, which is a nice touch. The most charming part about Zigzagoon, though, is that it apparently can only move in zig-zagging motions, being unable to walk in straight lines or curves. It’s a charming quirk that helps make Zigzagoon stand out a bit. Thankfully, this is represented even in its battle animations. I’m glad that much attention was put into it.

Unfortunately, Zigzagoon evolves into Linoone, now a more badger-like creature that instead only moves and sprints in straight lines. The movement quirk is a nice touch, but it also removes all of Zigzagoon’s scruffy fur charm, with the addition of taking away its raccoon qualities too. Ironically, it kind of carries the same issues that Furret before it did, removing a lot of the unique charm of its previous form by trimming it down into a different, sleeker creature entirely. They even have the same color scheme!

Zigzagoon would later receive a regional form come Gen 8, adapting differently to the Galar region and now becoming a Normal/Dark type. In addition, it now gains a proper monochromatic black and white color scheme, fitting better with it being a raccoon. It looks a lot more pleasing and sticks out more than the browns of Hoenn’s Zigzagoon. The half-lidded eyes and stuck out tongue are pretty cute as well.

While Alolan Rattata gained its Dark typing due to its invasive nature, Galarian Zigzagoon instead is Dark type due to its new obnoxious behavior, said to run around (still in zigzags) frantically, bumping into other Pokemon and people nearby on purpose just to get a rise out of them.

Likewise, Galarian Linoone now sports a similar black and white color scheme, further enhancing its badger-ness, as well as an even more obnoxious attitude. Linoone continues purposefully charging into others, especially opponents stronger than itself. It then taunts its opponents with its long tongue, another trait whose addition will soon become clear. Just having a more devious smile and mischievous expression does leagues for improving Linoone’s charm in my eyes.

In the Galar region, Linoone is able to evolve further into the hilariously metal-rocker infused Obstagoon. It apparently even has a tendency to shout at the top of its lungs to stagger opponents. Helping its design are the large groups of grey fur around Obstagoon’s body, which do a nice job resembling clothing without actually giving it to Obstagoon. Especially the patch around its chest, which resembles a leather jacket. 

Obstagoon’s design origins become a lot more clear now, paying homage to the iconic stylings of the band KISS, of all things. KISS themselves aren’t British, but it is rumored that the Punk fashion sense did start in the UK, or so I’m told. I suppose that’s an explanation for why the Zigzagoon family have this appearance in Galar.

One thing I don’t like so much about Obstagoon though is the lower half of its body. It’s just a bit too human to appropriately match to the rest of the design. I do recall seeing an edit floating around a while ago where Obstagoon had a more badger-like lower body that looked a lot more cohesive. 

Score: 4/5

Still, at the end of day, it does make for a nice improvement on Zigzagoon’s original, simpler design.
