Yes I know that it's the third. shush.
Every day of this month I'm gonna randomly generate a Pokémon and give some thoughts on it.
1: Dragalge
I like it enough. The whole idea of a literal sea dragon is pretty neat, same as Kingdra. I like that despite it being aquatic it's not a water type. Also a not overly draconic dragon is good, unlike many I prefer the less draconic dragon types y'know? They feel more creative.
Colours are nice. The shiny is really cool too because it ads a splash of green to it which makes it pop quite a bit. Strong without being too overpowered.
And this funky little dude photosynthesizes. Read this dex entry from Shield.
Dragalge generates dragon energy by sticking the plume on its head out above the ocean’s surface and bathing it in sunlight.
How could it get any cooler?
7/10. Not my favourite dragon type or poison type, but a very solid design that makes me happy.
2: Skuntank
Be honest, when was the last time any of y'all thought about Skuntank?
I mean, it's a skunk. There isn't that much I can honestly say about it. It deviates enough from an average skunk to still be interesting but it's still just a skunk
A skunk that can make flamethrowers. I get that Pokémon is a fantasy game but, like, why? I know that you can light your farts on fire but why can skunk do that?
Why can it also learn explosion? Can farts explode?
*quick google search later*
Ok so apparently you can, but it's not easy.
5/10. It's just kind of a skunk.
3: Cramorant
Just look at this idiot and say that you hate him. I dare you. You can't.
Like sure it's really average design and stat wise, but it's so goofy. Loom at the wide eyed stare, the stupid wing position, how close the feet are.
Also the shiny form literally references a real story of a pigeon that got covered in curry. That's so silly.
And it's ability! Like sure the Arrokuda reference is fine and funny and all,
BUT
When he gets to low HP, this dumbass starts choking on a Pikachu
9/10. SO SILLY. I can't hate it. Every time I see a Cramorant I want to smile because the little lad it so funny to me
Hairspray is probably one of my favourite movies of all time so I'm going to rank all of the songs from it. The title didn't lie. I'm also not including anything sung during or after the credits or any reprises.
15. It Takes Two: The whole reason this song is in last place is because it's kind of just forgettable. You can't really hear most of it in the film due to it being talked over the whole time so it just became really forgettable for me.
14. (Its) Hairspray: This one is low because it's just really short. While fun, there isn't much time to enjoy the song itself because by time it starts, it's almost over. Serves the purpose well though and has some funny moments in it.
13. (You're) Timeless To Me: Silly little love song. While very sweet, this song is also kind of forgettable for me but is a nice little ditty. It's also very cute to see Wilbur and Edna dancing and singing together.
(Now it gets really hard to rank them)
12. I Can Hear The Bells: While kind of cringey at points, this song is just too silly to hate. This is more personal than anything because I tend to like more upbeat songs in general but this was still a decent song. Lovesick lyrics and all.
11. Run And Tell That: Fun! That's the only word I can use to describe this song. A nice introduction song for Seaweed and Li'l Inez (Who is the best part of this song for sure.) Just a good early song.
10. Big, Blonde, And Beautiful: While yes a bit slower, the tune of this always makes me want to hum along. I also really like food so all of the food lyrics is a nice perk.
9. Good Morning Baltimore: I mean what more could you desire from an opening song. We get a good character introduction, jazzy beat, and perfectly singable lyrics. Good mid tier song
8. The New Girl In Town: Another song that suffers a little from being quite short. The song really picks up in the second half when it gets more energy but he whole song is catchy as fuck.
7. Welcome To The 60's: While I love this song, looking at it now there are just too many I love more. While fun and upbeat, this song feels like it gets constantly interrupted by talking which brings it down a little for me.
6. (The Legend Of) Miss Baltimore Crabs: Villain song! And damn does it do it well. We immediately know that Velma is the villain just from a few lines of this. The visuals are also super fun all throughout the song.
5. Ladies Choice: Another song fits the short but sweet mantra. This one takes the lead over the other shorter songs due to the energy all throughout the song and the fun visuals all throughout.
4. You Can't Stop The Beat: Oh the showstopper finale! This is a great way to end off this musical affair. This song is chaotic in the best way possible with every major character singing in this in an amazing conclusion.
3. I Know Where I've been: The most emotional song in the musical for sure. This song is powerful and memorable with the visuals of the rally only aiding to the title of the most moving song in the soundtrack.
2. The Nicest Kids In Town: It was really hard to choose between this and the number one. This song is just super duper fun and always makes me smile when I hear it, even if I don't condone very message in the song, I still wanna belt out all the words.
Without Love: Silly love song wins! I love this song way way way too much to not put it in the number one spot. I love the two duos singing together in this fun song that also happens to move along the plot. What other films bust someone out of basically house arrest on steroids while singing about love?
So there's my ranking. Feel free to (respectfully) disagree with me and if you've never seen Hairspray, go watch it.

Still be careful about what you use him in, as Disney is likely still going to be very protective of their mascot!
(Not a lawyer by any means, just don't want anyone to get in trouble on this ceremonious day)

So I may have missed a few days, but I'm here now.
So far we've done: Dragalge, Skuntank, Cramorant, Lechonk, Delibird, Eglyem, Dusclops, Axew, Bulbasaur, Raticate, and Hattrem
12 Dratini
Noodle!
This is probably in my top 10 favourites from Gen 1, because it's a noodle. The nose is so big compared to the itty bitty face.
It's so small and so precious. It looks so smooth, like a noodle.
8/10. Noodle
13 Pincurchin
He looks so done with everyone's bullshit.
It's very small and I like that. The two littles balls at the front of the face is odd, but in a cute way. Also the eyes being downward arrows is cute.
I would hate to step on him.
7/10. Prickly little guy.
14. Clefairy
Look at how pink it is!!! I love the little blush stickers and the hair curl and the little tooth!
This is my little baby. I also enjoy the Clefairy minigame in Pokémon Stadium, as frustrating as it can be
8/10. Baby pink thing
15. Tympole
I like the music elements in the design. The little eyebrows look like notes, and it looks like it's wearing headphones.
The blue they used is very fresh and compliments the black accents. Cute, but honestly kind of forgettable to me as I usually use Oshawott in Unova and only in two other game sets (ORAS, and SwSh)
6/10. Above average, but forgettable.
Ice: Ooblek Bitch
Air: Ghoul Butch
