Which of Basculin's two forms do you prefer? Red-Striped or Blue-Striped?

For reference, here are the differences between the two forms.

*Red-Striped Basculin have red stripes going down the length of their bodies, just above their eyes. Blue-Striped Basculin stripes are blue instead. Gasp. I never would have guessed.

*Red-Striped Basculin have wide, red eyes. Blue-Striped Basculin have narrower blue eyes.

*Red-Striped Basculin have fins with jagged edges. The fin edges on a Blue-Striped Basculin are smooth.

*Red-Striped Basculin in the wild have a 5% chance of holding a DeepSeaTooth. Wild Blue-Striped Basculin have a 5% chance of holding a DeepSeaScale.

*A Blue-Striped Basculin is available for trade in White Version, and it has Rock Head as the Ability. No Red-Striped Basculin is available with that ability.

*Red-Striped Basculin are more common than Blue-Striped Basculin in Black. The opposite is true for White.



Now, me, personally, I prefer Red-Striped Basculin. I just think they have the cooler design.
 

Bulletproof

Self explanatory.
I prefer Red striped Basculin. The Narrow eyes on the blue one is sort of a turn off.
 
I voted 'What's a Basculin? because I could.
Aw, hell. I meant to make it so everybody could see who voted on the poll and what they voted for. How do I fix that?

You'll need to PM a mod and ask them to change it IIRC.

I prefer Red, because it has the better design. Blue-striped has those creepy narrow eyes.
 
Like the other people said, Red Basculin have the better design.
 
Red Basculin is better. Like everyone else said, Blue's narrow eyes is a turn off.

I would hate to see all of your reactions to Asians if the eyes are a problem for you guys.

Dang, I thought I saw a shiny Basculin, but it seems like it was the blue from.

Thanks for ruining my illusions :p

Blue Basculin's a lot cuter. I love the shape of its eyes. I have one in my 2nd black team :)
The red form looks a bit messy...

I've only ever rocked "Blueeye". Though I don't really prefer any design over the other. I like to think of them as having a scottish voice for some reason. -w- I like to use mine 4 HM jobs and EV'ing with other Basculin.

All basculin is is a speed EV slave and nothing more. If i accidentely surf in the shaking spot i see the blue one instead, big deal. That being said the blue one is probably more ugly
