**It’s also subverted in his review of "[[Recap/PokemonS1E15BattleAboardTheStAnne Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]", where he says he COULD characterize the Gentleman Ash trades Butterfree to as a con artist who didn’t really believe in what he said about the value of trading and just wanted to take Ash’s Pokémon, but decides that the fact he quickly agrees to trading Butterfree back proves he really is sincere.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: His earliest entries (particularly the ones from his Blogspot days) are unusually short compared to his newer ones. They were also written in a more over the top angry CausticCritic style (a lot of the times he’d end it by deciding to “deny this Pokémon’s right to exist” and think of a CoolAndUnusualPunishment for it), before his writing style cooled down into still being cynical and snarky and occasionally prone to outbursts, but more mellow and analytical.

[[http://pokemaniacal.tumblr.com/ Pokémaniacal]] is a Pokémon-themed blog on Website/{{Tumblr}} (originally on Website/{{Blogspot}}) run by Pokémaniac Chris, a classicist from New Zealand and a big fan of Franchise/{{Pokemon}}. Initially, Chris started out by writing reviews (for the amusement of his friends) of the Pokémon introduced in VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite, the first games of the fifth generation. In these entries he would give quick rundowns on each Pokémon's design backgrounds and flavors, tying them into real-world history, art, and culture, followed by a summary of their battling capabilities, potential team roles, and attractive movesets, before finally giving his verdict on whether or not they "deserve to live". However, it must be noted that Chris is not a so-called [[NostalgiaFilter "genwunner"]]; as he [[http://pokemaniacal.tumblr.com/post/17760694085/my-quest-concludes pointed out]], the whole reason he does this was to show people (particularly said genwunners) that Creator/GameFreak are actually still capable designers and that there are still many legitimately good Pokémon designs.
