In X and Y we have the new adorable puffball, Espurr. But look into its eyes. It hardly blinks.
Look at the Pokedex entry.

If the Psychic force sheltered by those ears is leaked, it will eradicate anything within a three hundred mile radius. But why does it look so evil? If it were as evil and the eyes suggest, wouldn't it just want to destroy humanity (because that's just how damn creepy them eyes are)? Or is it keeping that energy enclosed because it is helping us?
This could explain why Espurr makes an angry face if you touch it on the ear in Pokemon - Amie.
So is Espurr evil or good? Is he trying to destroy us or save us? You decide.

Well it's the restraint Pokemon, so I'm guessing it kind of answers the question. It is obviously trying not to obliterate everything within a 300 mile radius, at least in the short-term. But you're right, that look in its eyes is certainly something to be concerned about =/
1. Hold out a Poképuff in front of Espurr.
2. Toss it into the air. Don't catch it.
3. Watch as you learn who is truely evil.

Go to the 1:00 point for that. His face doesn't actually change.
im pretty freaking sick of espurr tbh
Actually I'm MORE afraid of Quilladin. I keep picturing the Billy dummy from the SAW movies and it fiddling with a knife as it watches you sleep. The look it has creeps me out SOOOOO much. I can't even look at it without cringing. I keep thinking Quilladin will probably stab you in your sleep with that creepy smile it has.
I love Espurr and Meowstic. Espurr is amazingly full of expression for a completely expressionless Pokemon.
So far I'm enjoying the internet popularity of one of my new favorites but I haven't been exposed to that much of it yet so it'll probably wear thin soon.

Seconding this. The only reason the internet is soaking itself over Espurr is because it's a bloody cat.
Still would rather have an Espurr than a Quilladin....

Quilladin is an ally of the revolution. You will fall sooner than others for your insolence.
In my superior opinion, Espurr is a fascinating source of alternate energy. The lifting of its ears could power our invasion for a millennium.
Though even I fear what the mind that lies behind those haunting eyes may contain...
i freaked out the first time i saw this thing ugh i hate it
least favorite this gen by a mile.
The reason I'd rather have Espurr than Quilladin is because of that creepy smile the latter has. It's like the one Fred the Creepy Barber from Courage the Cowardly Dog has!
Espurr isn't even creepy I don't understand - it's adorable.
Eh, I think espurr is probably my least favourite of this gen. Well, except Diggersby, but y'know... It's Diggersby xD
I really like Meowstic though - but espurr's plain ugly =\

I used to think it was both. After seeing these I think it's more creepy than anything else.
In the same way that Espurr being a cat will have gotten it a lot of fans, the fact it's a cat and has a lot of fans will result in a lot of people disliking it for pretty much that reason. Then there are the people who dislike its design or hate cats (fair play to both).
The eyes are a little creepy if you stare too long. But then again my cats stare at me for long periods of time usually so I guess I'm just used to it <.<
I like the way its evolutions look so different from one another, in a similar vein to how Jellicent and Frillish look largely different depending on the gender. I love the male Meowstic's colouring etc.

Just one happy family.
Still think the eyes are better than Quilladin's creepy Norman Bates/Billy the Dummy smile.... *shudder*
You posted loads of pictures of Espurr with writing underneath... This does not make it creepy.
It has loads if fans because of good design and a fairly wide move pool... Not because it is a cat. I hate dogs but I still really like dog pokemon.... :-)

Much as I agree (barring the dogs part, I love dogs, but that's another matter entirely) it has a lot more fans because, for whatever reason, the internet is fascinated with cats.

You see, the internet has never been more intrigued by tiny puffballs trying to reach shelves, but instead jumping into a pit.
Espurr just looks unnerving with that stare.
Shame it doesn't have that Unnerve ability.
^I still find Quilladin's face much more creepy....

Well, I'd actually agree with you on this one. Expressionless is my usual face anyways.
i love espurr and i don't see how people editing text underneath it makes it actually creepy, i think it's cute
i just don't think either meowstic forms really resemble felines, especially the male. they look more like foxes, sort of. but of course, since they're intended to be cats, i still fancy them. i guess if i had to compare them to the cats of other gens....
persian > liepard > meowstic > purugly > delcatty
