Hiroshima and Nagasaki after Pearl Harbor, that's why.

>>27471133
By mourning the death of original pokemon.

>>27471133
It's on the same island where Mimikyu is found, I bet. Why? If we go by in-game description, there is a certain flower with a certain nectar that changed it to that form. As for figurative speech, I think it's more towards the overall thematic approach to its Ghost type design. See how its purple and stuff with those mystical feather fans.

You know, I heard there's a Japanese traditional dancing where they danced to send off the dead to the spirit world. Correct me if I'm wrong.

How the fuck is this thing a dragon?

It's a medium
It's specifically stated that the dances give it the power of those that have died through the spirit's assistance

>Rockruff isn't Normal
>Mantids aren't Bugs
>Flowers are Fairies
>Palm trees are Dragons
>Really hard ice is Steel
>Crustaceans are Bugs except when they're not
>Alolan Ninetales has a supernatural secondary type but not original Ninetales
>Fairy overall is even more inconsistent than Gen 6

The typing logic has gone to shit. Just roll with it.

Dragon palm tree

>>27471133
I think it fits Japan very well, with most of their myths being spirits.

It has immunity to three types and no 4x weakness. Any information on whether the stats and moves will be good?

Because it's her spirit pokemon.

purple/blue are ghostly colours
i'd like it if it looked more tribal but w/e

>>27471351
Basically this, it is based on the dances in the Kabukimono. Oh come on, OP. You should if the theme of something is from Japan, it would be ghastly in essence cause of the mysticism and such from Old Japan.

>People who migrated from Kanto feel a great liking for this Pokémon because its dance reminds them of their homeland.
Kanto confirmed for being dead.

>>27471497
Aww hell yeah, you know what, with all these new regions that we will be getting each 2 years of so, each of the important NPCs can have different variation of team members for their Pokemon.

I LOVE THIS POKEMON

Its ability is cool, and so are its in-battle animations.

>>27471551
What exactly about the bird or dance is Kanto-like to begin with?

>>27471418
Googled that and it's real. Lol, Alola Exeggutor makes more sense now, but still, that design is laughable.

>>27471662
Kanto is the Japanese pokeregion, bird makes japanese dance

>>27471662
She moves and looks like the Kanto Channelers in Pokemon Tower.

>>27471662
Both have a Japan theme

>>27471551
>Dead
Immigration happens in Pokemon land too, pal.

>>27471662
You went through many iterations of Kanto, haven't you caught on, anon? Kanto is, firstly, based on Japan very own Kanto region. Secondly, Japan is always tied with mysticism in gaming media.

>>27471551
I didn't know this, this is a nice callback to Kanto. So there are Kanto people in Alola. Where did you get this? Main website, is it?

>>27471182
this, most Ghosts are purple

>>27471662
One would think it would be people from Johto who are used to traditional dances.

>>27471375
Then why not make it Psychic or Dark or something? Making a normal bird that happens to be purple-colored Ghost just thematically goes against what all other ghost types have been so far.

>>27471551
Migrate, anon. Immigration! Those people are originally from Kanto, what's hard to get. Kanto still lives on.

>>27471133
Like many artist she got raped to get where she is so she's dead inside

>>27471393
>charizard isn't dragon
>gyarados isn't dragon
>beedrill isn't flying
>golduck isn't psychic
>ninetales isn't psychic
>onix isn't dragon
>seadra isn't poison

You're right, these games are getting ridiculous.

>>27471133
Remember when Ghost type was spooky and mysterious, and you needed a special equipment just to SEE Ghost pokemon?

>>27471795
It's called being openly creative now, GF isn't restricting itself with the base design of the creature the Pokemon is inspired on. Even fucking Mantids aren't Bug-type now.

>>27471839
Shh. Kindly take the exit on your left, please.

>>27471133
"The Sensu Style Oricorio is quiet and collected. By means of its dance, it gathers the spirits drifting about in an area and borrows their power to fight. People who migrated from Kanto feel a great liking for this Pokémon because its dance reminds them of their homeland."

No, you only needed that to see a dead marowak

No. I only remember one plot related nonsense puzzle from Lavender town in gen 1.

Yeah
Man this is way better

>>27471714
>kanto
>not johto
explain that bullshit

>>27471886
People could have answered their own question by googling Sensu dance, which is fan dance in our language. Sensu dances, back then, are heavily spiritual in nature.

>>27471932
Nobody cares about johto

>>27471133
It does sansu dance.
Its a KaBOOki bird

Damn, that got me thinking
>couldn't encounter ghost types because your pokemon would get scared
>needed a silph scope to identify them and battle them
>gen 2 onwards (barrring FR/LG) ghosts can just be see them normally like any other mon
I like to think people just adapted and were able to recognize ghosts easier

>>27471795
because maybe 6 gens of the same spooky ghost mon gets a little bit fucking tiresome

mix it up a little

It's description literally says it absorbs the power of spirits when it dances and uses them to fight. Learn to read.

>>27471902
Johto got a freaking Gym Leader as its callback rep in Kalos. Her name was Valeria. We're good, bros. Besides, this game hasn't come out and knowing GF, previous regions will get a form of callback in dialogue, dex entries and such. Don't you worry.

Shh ,anon. We aren't allowed to criticize gen 1.

>>27471133
Because it's purple.

>>27471986

>>27472116
>bunch of "competitive pokemon" interactions that none of us ever experienced or cared about

wow, you sure convinced me there anon

>>27471986
It's more than Johto is the traditional Japanese region where Kanto is more the modern Japanese region. So you would think that a bird who use a japanese traditional danse would mostly remind people of Jotho, particulary when the kimono girls are based on the same concept.

>>27471795
all other ghost types after gen IV had been shit furniture I could buy at ikea. A few were alright at best, but not my taste.

Having a bird having a spiritual dance as a concept is way better than a jellyfish or a blimp (I know the latter is from gen IV)

>>27472204

So you never played the games then? Lots of those were obvious even in single player.

>>27472261
>all other ghost types after gen IV had been shit furniture
Chandelure is literally the best pokemon to date.

>>27472261
Jellicent is based, fuck you and eat shit

>censored version

Get out reddit

>>27471133
The tiki guardian is ghost/fairy too

>>27472311
I didn't know about 80% of them. In fact, isn't that the point of this infographic? It's supposed to be new to us.

Then there are those I noticed and didn't give a shit about, like crits being tied to speed, random mimic, or whirlwind not changing a mob.


Seriously, this is beyond nitpicking, it feels like some shit a Smogonfag wrote, because nobody gives a shit about any of those things in the single player aside from like, Wrap/Fire Spin.


Pretty fucking sad "critique" desu

It's the Japanese version of the bird. Japan is full of old people and has a declining population. Soon, everyone will be dead. Dead = ghosts. It's pretty deep.

>>27471819

Beedrill had used up its types, winged mons that fit two other types well often aren't flying.

>>27472330
>a chandelier
>good design

choose one.

>>27471133
it's on the island with the cementary. The lore will probably follow.

I for one am happy to have a flying ghost that is not a fucking balloon.

>>27472303
The fuck outta here and take your shit fortunes with you, Orochi

>>27472303
Ahh, now I know what to name my Ghost/Flying Oricorio.

>>27471245
It comforts Kanto expats. The war. Kanto and Alola.

>>27471133
because you apparently know nothing about japan, or even previous pokemon games.
