I bet you think owls are birds too

>>27523535
Coldsteel the sandslash. I like that that.

>Nidoran's male and female forms are different species

>>27523535
They are still Sandslash. When elephants started being born without tusks we still called them elephants.

>>27524166
Puh-lease, owls are also frozen water.

>>27524236
Yeah, but its suposed that in Alola here is only Ice SandSlash, so why the fuck they would call them Sandslash and not IceSlash?

>>27524439
Snowslash, mostly because I like Snowshrew. It sounds similar to "snow shoe."

>>27524439
Because they're not autistic about these kinds of things. All they know is Sandslash came to Alola and then mutated into an ice type. It's still a sandslash

>>27523695
You mean glass.
>>27524331
I laughed.

>>27523535
Then nickname it Coldsteel you autist

>>27524439
Why is the African Elephant not just called Bigger Elephant?

>>27523535
Because Alolan Sandslash was an common Sandslash.

Makes perfect sense to me, did you fail high school biology? We don't call the Galapagos tortoise by a completely different name due to environment adaptations.

What's the issue? It takes no damage in sand thanks to that steel typing. Plus it can work in 2 weather types now desu

Don't any of you fuckers understand what Alola variants are? Jesus christ.
It's called sandslash because it fucking lived in sand. In the desert. It just migrated and adapted to its new environment, without creating a new species. So it kept its old name.
If a bird moved to a new continent it wouldn't be called something different.

This dude gets it.

this

>>27524488
I actually like this, but I think the autism over the name is dumb.

>>27524439
With the possible exception of Exeggutor, these pokémon are not native to Alola. They were brought by men and changed over time because their new enviroment was hostile to their original forms.

So they were already known as Sandshrew/slash in Alola before the subspecies showed up and became predominant

nice one, caught me off-guard

>>27524488
I preffer Ishrew and Islash

>>27526479
Oh, I agree. I was just making a point that if you're actually going to bother renaming the variants, Iceshrew is a shitty name.

If this game is like Diamond/Pearl, you better pick Litten right off the bat.

Snow = white sand

*extend ice claws*
*ice slides behind u*
I am no mere sandslash
*you fall to pieces in a burts of blood*
Heh looks like ur arguements fallen apart

>>27525550
Pokemon names are not scientific names though.

And while common names don't follow any rules, alolans must be braindamaged still calling it sandslash.
