Relicanth, seen from above.
>>27595783
Is that plaque suggesting that Kabutops' skeleton was found with its scythes still stuck in the fish's skeleton? Good for you ancient fish, taking your killer down with you.
>>27596051
please stop forcing the 1997 exeggutor meme
>>27596097
Its there, in plain sight.
Canon material right there.
>>27596051
this that's alolan exeggcutor then this kabutops most be related to wimpod.
>>27596107
but this is in kanto
alola exeggutor isn't in kanto
>>27596127
Maybe kabutops will get another evo chain!
>>27596143
palm trees shouldnt be in kanto
>>27596162
If they don't have faces, then that ain't exeegutor.
>>27596151
wimpod > kabuto > kabutops
wimpod > ? > Genesect
>>27596194
wimpod>bug/rock>Genesect
>>27596189
those are sculptors depicted the past of kabutops' fossil, they never mentioned exeggcutor. But GF most likely knew about the idea.

Okay I am actually in the process of checking every reference to real animals from http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Animals_in_the_Pok%C3%A9mon_world
Attached picture seems to be the only one I could find in XY. The "butterflies in the background of battles" I simply couldn't find with either google, youtube, in game or a gallery of all the backgrounds. Does anyone have a screenshot of this?
>>27595783

Bite/Crunch, Aqua Tail, Aqua Jet, Waterfall, etc...
>>27596217
genesect (the form without the cybernetic armor)
so he doesnt need to be rock or steel typing
>>27596279
Wimpods middle form (or last form) should really be bug/rock.
>>27596239
I was making a joke about how Game Freak likes to pretend that animals don't exist in Pokemon, when they clearly do.
>>27595783
Can someone explain fossils for me? How the fuck do you get fossilized trying to catch a fish?
>>27596392
>volcanic ash
>heavy amount of debris
do your research.
>>27596392
>How the fuck do you get fossilized trying to catch a fish?
Mudslide?
>>27595783
OP here. The anime isn't the only place this exists: it also exists in the Official Pokemon Handbook, which contained various references and concepts of off modeled/highly detailed depictions of Pokemon and other things.
>>27596443
A previously unreleased mon? Looks like a salmon shark.
>>27596457
it doesn't say the fish is a pokemon, it calls it "a big living creature"
It's only a matter of time before they make it an actual Pokemon.
>>27597679
Weren't G/S in development/out by the time the anime aired?
>>27596443
>>27597679
>>27595783
They already did
They cut off it's head and called it Sharpedo
>>27597702
The anime aired in Japan in April 1st 1997
GS was released in Japan in November 21st 1999
>>27597679
>>27597702
The first instance of gen 2 was Ho-oh in April 1st 1997
Otherwise nobody knew that a new game was being made publicly
it was first announced in March 28 1998
Almost a year after Ho-oh was first shown and wouldnt be out till November 21 1999

What I'm guessing is that the artists all drew up a shitload of design concepts back in the day, then kept the designs that didn't make it so they could improve on them and use at a later date. I mean, it makes sense in my opinion. During the initial design process you usually doodle up a small number of designs, show the rest of the staff, then they tell you which one they like the most and what they think might make it better. You go back and forth until the majority agree on the design then it's finalized. Plus, I'm sure they came up with a load of whacky or super-stylised designs, but had to time them down due to technical limitations.
These are all 100% guesses though and I'm basing them off "past experience". That experience being I helped with a small game project back years ago, and this is the process me and the artists went through. We all hoarded our original sketches and of course wished the designs we personally liked the most could be used, but since the majority voted on different ones, had to improve of them instead.
>>27595783
Literally just Alolan Relicanth

If this information is actually true, then Ho-oh was supposed to be in Kanto to begin with but it and about 40 others had to be moved over to Johto due to whatever reason.

Destiny bond
>>27595783
That's a Kabutops. It's Water/Rock type.
>>27596239
Fish pokemon get eaten by bird pokemon, there's no reason not to assume they wouldn't get eaten by people too.
A story about a guy eating his Pokemon and making his other pokemon eat it whenever one lost a battle would be fun.

You mean the Pitch Black Nuzlocke comic?
