My Top 20 Favorite Pokémon

One thing you should know about me is that I go through phases. I find something that I like, and suddenly all of my thoughts are about that thing. Around 2014, I was absolutely obsessed with The Hunger Games, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Divergent, and a very popular series that I will not mention by name because of the author’s (who I will also not mention by name) recent instances of transphobia. In 2016, all of my thoughts were about Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco, and Twenty One Pilots. And at the tail end of 2018 up until this May or so, my obsessive thoughts were about Pokémon


The first Pokémon games, Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue were released in 1996, developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo and the Pokémon Company. Since then, Pokémon has become the highest-grossing media franchise of all time, grossing $92 billion between video games, an anime, a trading card game, films, manga, and so many other aspects. The franchise has a simple premise: Pokémon are fictional creatures that you have to “catch” in the iconic Pokéballs. Once you catch them, they’re basically your pets, except for the fact that you can fight with them. I like the battle aspects of Pokémon, mostly because making smart moves is just as important to winning as making powerful ones. But most of my love for Pokémon is due to the creatures themselves. As of July 2020, there are a total of 896 different Pokémon species, which means that there is at least one species for anyone to appreciate. Whether you’re more interested in the intimidating and powerful creatures or the ones that are so cute they make you cry, there’s a Pokémon for you. I love so many Pokémon, but these are my top 20 favorites. I’m growing out of my Pokémon phase, with my current obsessive phase being around Avatar: The Last Airbender. With this post, I’m saying goodbye to my Pokémon phase, celebrating my ultimate favorites. After this, I don’t have any need to make any more Pokémon-related content, since this is the biggest and most important one I’ll make, at least, pertaining to my Pokémon fandom. 

But first, I always feel the need to write as if the person reading has no idea what anything I’m talking about is. So here are some terms I’m going to use a lot that I should probably explain.
-Pokémon type: Types are a way of categorizing Pokémon based on what kind of powers they have. There are eighteen types: Grass, Fire, Water, Normal, Electric, Psychic, Fighting, Rock, Ground, Flying, Bug, Poison, Dark, Ghost, Ice, Steel, Dragon, and Fairy. Some Pokémon have one type, some have two. 
-Pokédex: The Pokédex is a device that gives information about Pokémon. It’s exactly what it sounds like: a Pokemon index. It is a log that allows you to learn about the Pokémon you find on your journey, as well as recording every Pokémon you catch. Many players enjoy completing the Pokédex and catching every Pokémon in the game. 
-Competitive Pokémon: In addition to the video games, many fans like playing Pokémon competitively. Competitive Pokémon is like playing a normal Pokémon game, but only with the battling parts. No story, no characters, just you and another person doing a Pokémon battle. It’s over the Internet and free to play, so I do it from time to time. I like it because it’s essentially a strategy game. It’s more about battle mechanics and making sure you have a well-rounded team than just winning. Smogon is the biggest of the competitive play sites, so that’s what I use. Smogon is known for categorizing Pokémon into tiers based on how good they are. The tiers make sure that the Pokémon in a battle are evenly matched, so you can’t put a legendary Pokémon against a baby Pokémon, which is good.
-Starter Pokémon: At the beginning of each game, you get a choice of three Pokémon, one grass-type, one fire-type, and one water-type. Starter Pokémon almost always start out adorable, then have an awkward middle stage, then evolve into a more powerful, cool beast. I genuinely love all 24 starters in one way or another, and many of them will appear on this list. 

One last thing before we begin: I've already posted three Pokémon-related things, so check those out if you're interested!

Now let's get started!

20. Goodra
First up, we have the pseudo-legendary Pokémon of Pokémon X and Y. Pseudo-legendary Pokémon are usually the most powerful non-legendary creatures in the game, noteworthy for having a base stat total of exactly 600. I love pretty much all of the pseudo-legendary Pokémon, especially Metagross, Dragonite, and Garchomp, but my personal favorite (at this very moment, at least) is Goodra. Dragon-type Pokémon are normally exactly what it says on the tin: they’re dragons. (Although there are a few oddballs, like an apple and a palm tree.) They’re the closest thing the series has to an objective “best” type, and to match their power, they’re usually intimidating brutes. Goodra is great because it is extremely powerful, but it’s also quite adorable. Dragonite, the series’ first pseudo-legendary, also has a dopey, non-threatening charm to it, but Goodra takes its huggability (is that a word?) up to eleven. Despite its slimy exterior, Goodra just looks like it would give amazing hugs, and I love that. Its base stage, Goomy, is also the cutest little ball of goo you will ever see. 

19. Torterra
I literally said this was coming a few weeks ago when I talked about my top ten favorite Avatar: The Last Airbender animals. One of the creatures I had on that list is the lion turtle, which instantly reminded me of Torterra. This makes sense, as both creatures take inspiration from the World Turtle of various mythologies, a turtle capable of supporting the entire world on its back. Torterra also takes inspiration from the ankylosaur dinosaur with its bulky armor. It is the final evolution of the Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum grass starter, Turtwig, which I also love. Turtwig is an endearing little snapping turtle with an precious seedling on its head, and seeing the adorkable turtle evolve into a seven-foot, almost 700-pound beast is absolutely wonderful.

18. Flygon
I’ve still never played a real Pokémon game, but Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald were probably my favorite when it comes to new Pokémon. Five of the twenty Pokémon on this list debuted in those games, and the first of those is Flygon. It’s one of the more unique dragon-types in the series, resembling a dragonfly. (It’s actually inspired by the antlion, another insect.) If I were to describe Flygon’s design in one word, it would be “quirky.” The red covers on its eyes look like goggles, and its limbs are hilariously tiny in comparison to the rest of its body. These design choices make it stand out from all the other dragons. Flygon has a great typing of ground/dragon, making it pretty useful in Pokémon battles.

17. Aegislash
The ghost type is by far my favorite in the series. They’re known for having some brilliantly horrifying concepts and backstories, with some of the darkest being a neglected doll that came to life, seeking revenge on the child that threw it out, an undead cicada husk, a balloon that exists to grab the hands of children and take them to the afterlife , and a friendly reminder that climate change is bad and that we are all doomed, in addition to a few others we’ll get to later. While Aegislash, the living sword, doesn’t have any terrifying stories like that, I still think it’s awesome. I play competitive Pokémon from time to time, and let me tell you, Aegislash is an absolute monster there. It boasts an insane nine resistances, as well as two unique forms, one offensively-oriented , one defensive, so it can fit into any team. It’s by far one of my favorites to use when playing competitively.

16. Gardevoir
I cannot stress this enough: DO NOT EVER SEARCH FOR THIS POKÉMON ON GOOGLE IMAGES. Due to its feminine, humanoid appearance (Its gender ratio is actually 50-50; it looks feminine, but it’s just as common to see a male Gardevoir as well), many perverts on the Internet enjoy drawing lewd fanarts of it. This February, the Pokémon Company ran a “Pokémon of the Year” poll to see which creatures were most popular. (Results here.) Gardevoir made it into the top ten, and although it’s one of my favorites, I know it only made the top ten because a bunch of horny dudes are attracted to it. But I don’t think that’s entirely fair. While Gardevoir does have a beautiful, almost guardian angel-esque design, there’s so much more to it. It’s underrated in the sense that people only appreciate it for how it looks, because even if it didn’t have that design, there would still be a lot to love about it. Gardevoir is loyal to a fault, as its Pokémon Emerald Pokédex entry says that “It will give its life to protect its Trainer.” Loyalty has always been a quality I’ve really admired, and that Gardevoir is so nobly loyal and willing to sacrifice itself to protect those it cares about, that’s beautiful. As a psychic/fairy type Pokémon, it also has immense power, with its Platinum Pokédex entry stating that “To protect its Trainer, it will expend all its psychic power to create a small black hole.” I also really love its mega evolution from the sixth generation, which gives it an even more voluminous ballgown.

15. Scizor
I don’t like bugs much, but if you ask me, the bug type is the most underrated Pokémon type. It does have seven weaknesses, but there are many cool, cute, and creative bug Pokémon out there, and some of them are actually pretty good in a battle setting. For example, Scizor, my favorite bug type. Scizor is a dual-type bug/steel Pokémon, and due to steel being a defensive powerhouse typing, most of its weaknesses from the bug type cancel out. Its only weakness is to fire-type Pokémon, but it is a quadruple weakness, so watch out for those. Scizor evolves from the Pokémon Scyther, which is also really cool. They have the same base stat total, so neither is objectively better than the other. I just prefer Scizor because of its striking red, metallic cover. It’s like if Iron Man were a bug.

14. Luxray
The electric-type Luxray is one of the big fan-favorite Pokémon from the fourth generation of games, and it’s not hard to see why. The big thing that makes Luxray stand out for me is its amazing color scheme. The combination of blue, yellow, and black is my absolute favorite color palette, and that’s exactly what this Pokémon has. Another thing I love about Luxray is how it manages to look equally intimidating and adorable. Its dark colors, as well as the fact that it possesses x-ray vision, give it that “cool” factor, but its face is inherently lovable. Whether you prefer cool Pokémon or cute ones, Luxray is certainly one of the most appealing creatures in the franchise. And of course, its pre-evolution, Shinx, is easily one of the top five cutest Pokémon ever made.

13. Snorlax
In February, when I ranked all of the baby Pokémon, I named Munchlax as my favorite for how funny and happy-go-lucky it is. But while I love Munchlax, I love its evolved form, Snorlax, much more. I’ve mentioned before that my absolute favorite character trope is the Gentle Giant, the characters who are large and intimidating at first but really end up being complete sweethearts once you get to know them. It’s why I love characters like Appa from Avatar: The Last Airbender, Baymax from Big Hero 6, and the Iron Giant from the movie of the same name. The Gentle Giant trope is Snorlax’s entire appeal. It’s 6’11” and weights over a thousand pounds, and while it’s quite slow, it always hits with immense power. Yet its Pokédex entries in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire state that “it is such a docile Pokémon that there are children who use its expansive belly as a place to play.” It’s also incredibly lazy and doesn’t enjoy much else other than eating and sleeping, which I relate to more than I’d like to admit.

12. Mudkip
I just think Mudkip is hilarious. It’s so goofy yet charming. I’ve said before that it’s like a doofy, happy puppy that always wants to play with you, and I stand by that. Obviously, it doesn’t look like a puppy, but I feel like its personality is similar to one. In nearly every picture I’ve seen of it, Mudkip has a gigantic smile on its face like it couldn’t be happier to be alive. That adorable, wonderful smile, combined with those giant, goofy fins on its head, it just makes me smile. Mudkip is the water-type starter Pokémon of the Hoenn region from Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, and the remakes of the former two, and while it’s not quite my starter of choice from the region, I do love it a whole lot and think it’s the cutest water-type Pokémon. Plus, there’s a random, funny, slightly-NSFW-in-origin meme behind this Pokémon, which makes me like it even more.

11. Greninja
In the aforementioned “Pokémon of the Year” poll, Greninja was voted as the most popular Pokémon. Like it or not, this water/dark-type ninja frog is insanely popular. However, I’ve always been on the “like it” side. Froakie, the water-type starter of Pokémon X and Y, is a cute and quirky, but rather unassuming frog. It’s safe to say that many fans weren’t expecting much from Froakie’s evolution. But then it evolves into Frogadier, one of the most solid middle-stage starter evolutions. Finally, it evolves into the badass ninja frog Greninja, establishing itself as an all-time great. Greninja is so popular for a lot of reasons. First of all, ninjas are objectively cool. Like every good ninja, this Pokémon specializes in stealthy, quick movements, and it’s even able to make throwing stars, or shurikens, out of water. Greninja’s design is sharp, cool, and slick, but it’s not afraid to get a little weird, with that pink thing around its neck literally being its tongue. However, it doesn’t just look cool; it also is a monster in competitive battle, thanks to its amazing hidden ability Protean. This means that this Pokémon can change its type depending on whatever move it’s using, ensuring that it will get same-type attack bonus, or STAB, on literally every move it uses. Finally, it’s so popular due to its prominent usage in the Pokémon XY anime, where it was the star of Ash Ketchum’s team. In the anime, Greninja’s bond with Ash allowed it to transform into a unique form, (very creatively) titled Ash-Greninja. Although I prefer the original Greninja, due to the other form not having the Protean ability, I think this Pokémon is awesome no matter what form it’s in. I also enjoy using it in Super Smash Bros.

10. Umbreon
One of the most well-known Pokémon is Eevee, a fluffy, fox-like creature. Eevee is beloved partially because it’s adorable, but mostly because it is able to evolve into one of eight different Pokémon, known by fans as “Eeveelutions.” All of the “Eeveelutions” are extremely popular with fans, to the point where I feel like they’re pretty overrated. But “overrated” is not the same thing is “bad,” because I like all of the Eevees to some extent. The dark-type Umbreon was voted number five in the Pokémon of the Year poll, making it the most popular of the bunch. Yet, it’s my favorite, although the fairy-type Sylveon is a close second. Its design is so simple, sleek and elegant. Umbreon looks like it can glide through the night without being noticed, almost like a black cat. The yellow rings look really cool and help it glow in the dark. I’ve also gotten some use out of this Pokémon in competitive play. You wouldn’t expect it to be a solid defensive Pokémon, but it’s actually pretty bulky and has an amazing special defense stat of 130. (For those who don’t speak Pokémon: I’m not really sure how to concisely explain the significance between normal defense and special defense, but long story short, that high stat is a really good thing. A Pokémon’s stats reflect how well it performs in a specific area, so high stats mean that it’s more powerful.)

9. Chandelure
The fifth generation of games had more new Pokémon than ever before, and a lot of them are really fantastic. I feel bad that I only have one of them on my list, but alas, there was only one that I really consider one of my absolute favorites, and that’s Chandelure. Many fans like to complain about how inanimate object Pokémon are the worst, most lazily-designed creatures in the franchise. However, I think a lot of them have fun little twists and gimmicks that make them creative and interesting. Chandelure, for example, isn’t just a chandelier: it’s a chandelier with flames powered by the souls of the damned. It’s another brilliantly terrifying ghost-type, but it’s also given the rare dual typing of ghost/fire. The thing I love about Chandelure is just how pretty it is. It has a gothic elegance unlike any other Pokémon and those purple flames are marvelous. Its rare typing, combined with its freakish special attack stat of 145, make it another favorite in competitive play. According to the Pokémon of the Year poll, Chandelure is the fan favorite from the fifth generation, and it’s definitely my favorite, too.

8. Rayquaza

Legendary Pokémon are a group of the rarest, most powerful monsters in the Pokémon world, often having big parts in the game’s storyline. Rayquaza is the only one I have on my list, but it’s by far my favorite. Despite the fact that it’s a hugely powerful dragon, I relate to it quite a lot. The basic plot of Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald is that Kyogre, a whale-like monster that can expand the oceans, and Groudon, a Godzilla-like thing that can expand continents, are fighting. Rayquaza, the lord of the skies, lives in the ozone layer and must come down to end Kyogre and Groudon’s conflict and prevent the world from destruction. Like Kyogre and Groudon, my two brothers fight all the time over really petty things and I’m always the peacekeeper in their beefs. The Pokémon Sapphire Pokédex also says “Its existence had been completely unknown because it lived so high in the sky.” Fun fact; one of my neighbors didn’t know that I existed until pretty recently. I’ve been living at the same house since 2009, and this guy knew my parents, but genuinely had no idea that they had a teenage daughter for about eight years. Other than the fact that I relate to it a lot, I just think Rayquaza looks really cool. In its artwork, it looks like it told a really shitty joke and is waiting for people to laugh. That’s fun.

7. Alolan Raichu
Pikachu is the most iconic Pokémon, full stop. Even people who don’t know anything about Pokémon can recognize and identify Pikachu. Because the electric rat is so popular, many people either forget or don’t know that it can evolve into a larger, stronger Pokémon, Raichu. For decades, Raichu was overshadowed by its evolutionary relative, until 2016, when Pokémon Sun and Moon revealed the concept of regional variants. Those games take place in the tropical Alola region, which has many new forms of old favorite Pokémon, including Raichu. The new Alolan version of Raichu has always been my favorite electric-type. I love how its body shape is rounder and softer than the original Raichu, and its face is completely adorable. My favorite thing about it is that it’s also a psychic-type, able to use psychic powers to surf on its tail. That’s incredibly fun and clever, considering that its home is inspired by Hawaii. I also remember it being one of the first good Pokémon I got in Pokémon Go, so it’s kind of sentimental to me for that reason. Both the Pokémon Sun & Moon games and anime state that the Alolan Raichu’s favorite food is pancakes, even suggesting that pancakes hold the key to its evolution. Because of this, I always call my Raichus “Pancake.”

6. Bulbasaur
Bulbasaur was the original grass-type starter Pokémon (it's also part poison-type, and was actually the only starter to start out with a dual type for twenty years!) . It has a long legacy as one of the most iconic Pokémon ever created. I love all three of the original starter Pokémon, but Bulbasaur is easily my favorite. Its design is mostly frog-like, but it’s not just a normal frog. It has that adorable little bulb on its back. Bulbasaur is so sweet. It’s a classic, reliable Pokémon who can get the job done no matter what it is. In the anime, Ash’s Bulbasaur serves as the caretaker of the Pokémon at Professor Oak’s lab, a perfect task for it. I think of it as being incredibly loyal, a friend that will never leave your side and die for you. It’s also really cute, especially when it smiles.

5. Sobble
I was just starting to get into Pokémon when the newest games, Pokémon Sword and Shield, were announced. The three starter Pokémon, Grookey (a curious grass-type monkey), Scorbunny (a hyperactive fire-type bunny), and Sobble (an introverted water-type chameleon) were the first Pokémon announced from the games. At first, I wasn’t sure which one I liked best, as I thought they were all pretty cute. But as I learned more about them, I decided Sobble was easily my favorite. It’s very timid, turning invisible when it feels afraid, as well as crying. Oh, the crying! The Pokémon Sword Pokédex says, “When scared, this Pokémon cries. Its tears pack the chemical punch of 100 onions, and attackers won't be able to resist weeping.” I’m also extremely anxious, introverted, and a big crybaby, so of course I connected with Sobble. I love its official artwork, where it’s making the same face as the Surprised Pikachu meme from a few years ago, as well as looking like it doesn’t know what to do with its hands. Shigeru Ohmori, the director of the Sword and Shield games, said “In Japan, there definitely is a culture of feeling like something is cute because you kind of feel sorry for it a little bit.” Because of this, the developers knew the water lizard would be popular in Japan, but they were pleasantly surprised to see that so many people worldwide loved Sobble for that exact reason. We relate to Sobble’s sadness and anxiety, and we want to protect it. I wish Sobble was real so I could give it candy and hugs when it’s sad.

4. Mimikyu
I’ve featured a few ghost-type Pokémon on my list already, and while I love them, as well as a bunch of others that didn’t make the list, Mimikyu is by far my favorite ghost in the series. Like so many of the best ghost-type Pokémon, it has a terrifying backstory, but it mixes that terrifying story with one of tragedy and sympathy. Under its disguise, Mimikyu is a spirit so unbelievably horrifying the Pokémon Sun Pokédex says that “A scholar who saw what was under its rag was overwhelmed by terror and died from the shock.” It can’t make any friends due to how it looks and is dreadfully lonely. It noticed that Pikachu is the most popular Pokémon and it’s jealous of the attention Pikachu gets. It constructed a shoddy Pikachu disguise out of an old rag, hoping to be as popular as Pikachu. However, if the “Pokémon of the Year 2020” survey is anything to go by, it more than succeeded at its job. Mimikyu isn’t as popular as Pikachu; it’s more popular than Pikachu! In fact, the only Pokémon who got more votes than Mimikyu were Greninja and Lucario. I think Mimikyu is so beloved because people relate to it. Deep down, we all want to be loved, and we all know what it’s like to be rejected for who we are. Mimikyu is just trying its best to make friends and be appreciated in this cruel world, just like we are. I definitely relate to that feeling. It also has a unique ghost/fairy typing and is actually pretty fantastic in battle, along with an adorably creepy design. I know it’s supposed to be pretty dangerous, but I wish Mimikyu was real, just so it could see how much people love it. That would mean a lot to it.

3. Blaziken
The Hoenn region had by far the best group of starters in the series’ history. While I love the impossibly cool Sceptile and the tanky Swampert, my favorite has always been Blaziken. I knew my best friend had said that Blaziken was her favorite Pokémon, so when I started playing Pokémon Go, I worked really hard to get one. It was the first Pokémon I fully evolved and I was so proud of myself for doing so. I also think it’s really cool. Its design takes inspiration from chickens, specifically the Japanese Shamo chicken, and while it looks more humanoid than any chicken I’ve ever seen, I still think it looks awesome. Blaziken’s standout features for me are its powerful legs, which makes sense, as the Sapphire Pokédex says “Blaziken has incredibly strong legs - it can easily clear a 30-story building in one leap.” Its Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum Pokédex entries also reveal, “Flames spout from its wrists, enveloping its knuckles. Its punches scorch its foes.” In conclusion, Blaziken can jump over buildings, punch you in the face, give you third-degree burns, and absolutely kick the shit out of you. Don’t mess with it. (Also spoilers for that one list I made: its base form, Torchic, is the cutest Pokémon of all time. Precious fiery chicken baby…)

2. Lapras
I’m a pretty okay writer if I do say so myself, and I like to think I’m really good at writing passionately about things I like. That being said, I have no idea how to put into words just how Lapras makes me feel. I love it, but in such a primal way that I can’t properly articulate. But I’ll try. Lapras was one of the first Pokémon ever designed, and it’s still one of the best. It takes inspiration from the fabled Loch Ness monster and combines that with a plesiosaur, an order of extinct marine reptiles. The resulting design is both majestic and awe-inspiring, yet completely adorable. It’s another Gentle Giant, as it’s eight feet tall and 485 pounds, yet gentle enough to let people ride on its back. However, the Pokémon Gold Pokédex says “They have gentle hearts. Because they rarely fight, many have been caught. Their number has dwindled.” It’s a tragedy, people taking advantage of the species’ innocence and killing them…but seventeen years later, the Pokémon Moon Pokédex says,  “These Pokémon were once near extinction due to poaching. Following protective regulations, there is now an overabundance of them.” This just makes me really happy, and I hope that we see many endangered species meeting similar fates. Lapras is smart, gentle, kind, and likes to sing. It would be a great friend. It’s also capable of understanding human speech and has used telepathy to speak to humans before in the anime! And it’s not even a psychic-type! It’s a water/ice type! Lapras is so special and it makes me want to be a better person. But it’s not number one. What is my number one, you ask?


1. Rowlet
I’ve said that Rowlet was my favorite Pokémon in a few other posts, so if you’ve read my blog, then you won’t be surprised that it’s taking the top spot. But it would be a disgrace to have anybody other than my favorite little owl in the number one position. I first saw Rowlet around 2016, when I just happened to see Pokémon Sun and Moon stuff around the internet. I’ve always loved owls because of how smart, fierce, and cute they could be. Because of that, I gravitated towards the baby owl right away. However, I didn’t really think about Rowlet until I started getting deeper into Pokémon, when I remembered it and thought of it as my favorite. More than any other Pokémon, it’s the one I have an emotional connection with. I have a Rowlet plushie that I hug whenever I’m feeling anxious, and it instantly makes me feel better. Rowlet is so small and cute and the little leafy bow tie on its chest was a genius design choice on Game Freak’s end. Not only does it say “Hey, this is a grass type!” in a subtle way, it also gives it so much character and personality. This little owl wants to look its best and do its best! Rowlet’s middle evolution, Dartrix, is not my favorite, but Decidueye, that archer-esque final evolution, totally is. It looks really cool, and it’s amazing to see the little owl I fell in love with evolve into a fierce, feathery assassin. Rowlet also gains the Ghost typing in a quite inspired instance of Game Freak doing their homework and studying up. The Alola region, where the Generation 7 games take place, was inspired by Hawaii. In Hawaii, there used to be a species of owl called the stilt owl, which is now extinct. Decidueye is inspired by the stilt owl, a permanently dead species, so it makes perfect sense that it is part-Ghost. The idea of putting an owl-based Pokemon in this Hawaiian region is just brilliant as a whole, because owls are seen as protectors and heroes in Hawaiian mythology. Rowlet is the total package. It’s incredibly adorable, has some amazing appearances in the anime, and has a cool concept. But more than that, I’m attached to it. I’m moving out of my Pokémon phase, but I’ll always have more than a soft spot for Rowlet.

I'm sorry I posted this later in the day than I usually do. I had a graduation party today so I was mostly occupied with that. Also, I know this post is really long and passionately nerdy, but I've been sort of compiling my thoughts on this topic for two years. I needed to get it out. Next week, I'm planning to do another MOVIE TALK, but it won't necessarily be a review, more of a discussion on something I've thought about for a while now. I'm excited to write it.
