It became my favourite pokemon in a bit of a funny way.... When I was around 14, I was finishing Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky, and I thought it would be funny to recruit every single Elekid I ran across in Amp Plains. Just because I thought that Elekid looked silly. I soon amassed an Elekid army, which I proceeded to not use at all, because I was very adamant on beating the game with only me and my partner pokemon (which is probably why it took me 2 years to beat the game. I recently looked back at my first save file, and my moveset was AWFUL!).
It really endeared me to Elekid though. I mean, look at that face. It's just silly. It's so cute! I like electivire and electabuzz as well, but elekid is really just the cutest little thing. I love its little expression. I love its roundness. I love its weird big arms.
Most importantly though, Elekid is a little baby animal. It's 2 feet tall and it can't store electricity very well. It likes to swing it's arms around. You can play thunderstorm noises to it to make it happy. It's ADORABLE!!!!
There are not enough Elekid Pokemon cards!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It only has 8 in the 25 years it's existed.... I know it is not the most popular, but I think it deserves more.
However, Elekids most recent card is SO CUTE.
I love how it's just standing there. It's so cute! Hi there!!!!
The most perfect thing on this planet, part of what made me really start to love Elekid. It's amazing. Unbelievably shaped. So, so round. It has been my dream for 7 years to own this plush, but unfortunately they go for 100+ dollars now. Can't I dream....?
None of the other Elekid plushes have really gotten to this level of mastery. I think it's the wideness that really makes it. It just looks so incredibly silly.
