>Why don't pokemon make sense! How does a fish become an octopus? How does an egg become a tree?

That's because it's not a fish, it's a Remoraid.
And that's not an octopus, it's an Octillery!

>>27108783
they are more like seeds. read the pokedex

>grub becomes a grub that becomes a beetle

>>27108818
yeah let's pretend they are not based on a fish and an octopus
>>27108798
thats an conceptually harmonic transition
>>27108817
as someone said before, they are seeds.
also
>pokemon are randum! they don't have to make sense! xDDD

>summer
>might as well help the dude
>>27108746
Remoraid/Gun => Octillery/Canon

>>27108746
While we're at it, explain the Dratini line

>>27108798
It's actually a selkie. Look it up.

>>27108909
remoraid's whole body kiiiind of looks like a gun... octillery only has a tube on it's face. if they wanted to make a canon a shark or a big fish would have been a better idea.
don't get me wrong, I like octillery but not as remoraid's evolution.

>>27108930
I always asumed it was weird japanese folklore or something

>>27108856
>This Pokémon consists of six eggs that form a closely knit cluster.

umm... they are eggs

Which pokemon is a selkie?

>>27108969
>A Pokémon that is like the seeds of a plant. If you find one and chase it, others will join it without you noticing.
-stadium

>Even though it appears to be eggs of some sort, it was discovered to be a life-form more like plant seeds.
-fire red

>pokemon can only be based on one thing!

>>27109003
The supposed Popplio mermaid evolution.

>>27108950
Octopuses shoot ink, it naturally fits the theme.

>>27109010
>anime reaction faces
into the trash

>>27108950
I mean if they wanted to do Gun -> Cannon, why not keep them both as fish. Unless making a Cannon Fish is too hard?

>>27108746
While the idea of a fish evolving into an octopus doesn't make sense and does seem pretty silly, their concept is actually pretty interesting since it's based around the evolution of real life weaponry going from revolvers to tanks.

>>27109030
Octopi* and I believe those are squids.

>>27109030
theres this lizard taht shoots blood from its eyes. let's make a fish evolve into it since they both shoot things!
no.

>>27109068
Octopodes*, and nah, it's octo-bois.

>>27109057
this. it would actually be easier to make a fish/shark canon. instead they make an octopus wtf

>>27109076
Octopi live in the sea, are bigger and shoot harder than simple fish, what's your problem ?

>>27109057
Don't look too hard into it, it's just a design choice. It fits a theme and that's it, the dude just had a little fun.

>>27109103
so anything that lives on the land and is bigger than other thing that lives on the land it's a valid evolution for it?

>>27109096
I wasn't incorrect and sure...

>>27109106
>uses a strawman
>expects serious response

>>27108783
um actually it's an eggplant, moron

>>27109125
Yeah, I'll just take it like that and leave.

>>27109128
If the animals in question are famous for the same thing, yes that would be valid. You don"t have to see patterns or proper real-life evolution in Pokémon, it's fantasy

this doesn't fix it but it would help redeem it in part...

>>27108746
How long ago was this pokemon created again? And people are still complaining about it.

>>27109139
No one is incorrect. Octopi, Octopuses, and Octopodes are all correct, acceptable pluralizations.

And they ALL shoot ink. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cephalopod_ink

>>27109152
> egg>coconut tree or eggplant>coconut tree
it's still random, moron.

>>27108746
Why does this thread exist?

Why didnt we get a spongebob pokemon!, that is the most important thing to talk about, EFF remoraid!

>>27109208
chill man I was joking
but they'd also both be eggplants

why does a mirror evolve into a bell?
why does a mask evolve into a coffin?
why does a seagull evolve into a pelican?
why does a mite evolve into a moth?

>>27108746
The same way a Salamander becomes a dinosaur then into a dragon

The same way a shrew becomes a pangolin

The same way a Jellyfish becomes a Man-O-War

The same way a Seagull becomes a Pelican

The same way a Teruterubozu becomes a possessed doll.

>>27109298
non of those are as far-fetched as this one.

>>27109375
al those make sense. octillery doesn't

It's artillery themed, not a line of fishes.

>>27109415
I get that. it doesn't mean it's a good idea

remoraid identifies as an octopus you privileged shit lords
there is nothing unnatural about its evolution

Found the underage.

>>27109057
A remora is a kind of fish which has what amounts to a suction cup on its head. It attaches to the underside of other sea life. That's why mantine sprites had remora under their wings. Octopus, of course, have tentacles covered in suction cups. Both are marine animals that cling to things in the same way, so it's not JUST gun -> turret but also thematically linked by that.

>>27109402

I'm sorry that you're too autistic to understand something that makes total sense to anyone with a fully functioning brain.

>>27109298
>why does a seagull evolve into a pelican?
That still bother me that Wingull didn't evolve into an albatross-like Pokemon. An albatross is way more closer to seagulls than a pelican.

>>27108746

Gun becomes cannon. That's why it learns so many bullet/beam moves.
