Pikachu robot with integrated stun gun

    Does it annoy anyone else that he chose to make the eyes glow red instead of the cheeks, which are what produce the shock in the first place?

    You're being intentionally obtuse. Legends Arceus has a MC score of 8.0 by users and a critic score of 8.3. Arceus is the game that was even specified by u/The_Lord_of_Defiance, but you're citing the MC user score for Legends Z-A which is a totally separate game that almost nobody's defending as good.

    OP pay attention to the name of the sub. The "why" is not only obvious, but answered in the video. This sub's supposed to be for nonsense creations that have no obvious use, or made for the sake of production, or are worse ways to perform a function that's already been simplified.

    1 points Ok_Weird_500

    The why given in the video is the dumbest part of it. A swift kick and that thing will be in pieces unable to do any home defense. Plus this thing needs someone to control it, no obvious automation. A good guard dog would be a hundred times better for home defense. 

    Saying it would be cool to have a Pikachu robot with tasers would in fact be a better reason than the one he gave.
