If the pokemon is supposed to be the mushroom, than what is the bug?

a krabby

A host

>>27310149
The mushroom is the parasite and the bug body is the host
I think it's just a generic insect though I could be wrong

>>27310149
Original Pokémon.

By evolving Paras, the parasite roll the drums takes over the host.

>>27310149
I think that the bug/parasite combo is the pokemon, because its been so long that neither can survive without the other. From birth, the insects are under fungal control, so for all intents and purposes, they are one.
That poor fucking cicada.

it's paras but dead

>>27310149
Same thought as >>27310416.

When are we getting the bug and mushroom separately?

>>27310149
You might as well ask "Since the creature is Cubone, what does that make the bone?"

It's just an accessory to the real Pokemon.

>>27310149

It's an bug type Pokémon.

>mushroom grows upwards, revealing the bug below, stuck to the shroom by puppet-like strands
>Ability is a Parental Bond rehash

>>27310149
I imagine in a world that Paras and Parasect exist, the host vary. What ever bug, or crab, or whatever was unlucky enough to catch it is the vehicle.

>>27310157
It's a cicada

>>27310149
Shouldn't Parasect be Grass/Bug?

If it's a bug, why does it look like a lobster?

>>27310922
But Cubone is a baby Kangashkan and the skull is that of a Kangashkan

Its a cartoon cicada nymph.

>arthropods share similar attribute

woah

>>27311298
An arbitrary difference.

>>27310873
When are they going to add the Shellder combining with Slowpoke mechanic to evolution?

Like Slowpoke can't evolve unless you go fishing with him in your party and battle a Shellder

>>27311723

When Kangaskhan isn't born with a toddler in its pouch aka never

>>27310149
both are the pokemon
the mushroom is the brain, the bug is the body.

>>27311298
I like it. As >>27311629 said, it's arbitrary, but would make sense as the parasite overtakes the host.

Similar to how people discuss wanting Inkay -> Malamar to flip primary/secondary types upon evolving. Makes no difference mechanics wise, but makes sense lore wise.

>>27311723
I want to detach the spiral Shellar from Slowbro, unevolve it back to Slowpoke, train spiral Shelldar, and then evolve it into a spiral Cloyster.

>>27311837
>Literally a Spiral Vagina

>>27310149
The mushroom is the pokemon, and it loves its trainer.
Why don't you love the fungus back, /vp/?

>>27312013
It steal's bugs' souls and makes them their slaves.

>>27311837

Pretty sure Shellder unevolves too. You're gonna have to settle for regular pussymon

>Flash Fire Parasect

>>27312030
Perhaps the same could be said of all mushrooms.

>>27311949
Ducks have giant corkscrew shaped spiral vaginas... and giant corkscrew shaped spiral cocks. Look up "Argentine Lake Duck" to truly undertand.

>>27312030
I like to think that the mushroom takes over after the bug dies from natural causes.

>>27312056
>Still dies to Wing Attack.

>>27312085

Those causes aren't natural.

>>27312111
What is more natural than a mushroom?

>>27312141
Natural causes refers to the body shutting down.

so when's he getting into project m? it's been a couple years since his teaser.

>>27312198
Nintendo shut down Project M, anon
