Is this the most enigmatic pokemon in the history of the franchise?
>>27617120
is based in a kaiju, I lost that image.
Someone kaiju or setai can help me?
>>27617188
I mean kaiju or setai fan
It gets traits from Machoke, just like how Machamp gets four arms from Graveler.
>>27617188
I could believe that. Definitely looks like something from an Ultraman show
>>27617188
>>27617209
Dang, the Geodude line too?
The Kanto Dex really is just chock full of obscure Kaiju/Sentai references isn't it?
From what I understand, the Zubat and Abra lines also have similar roots.
It's japanese name is Golonya.
"Nya", it's not a lizard it's a cat.
Wtf!
>>27617120
UOL
>>27617269
i like how first line was literally MONSTERS.
i hate how newer lines has more of "cute/feminine" stuff for fetishists and such.
It gained Machoke's face while Machamp gained Graveler's extra set of arms
>>27617300
I KNOW! Pic related is so awesome because it's a MONSTER and not some cutesy girly crap.
>>27617300
This. I hate to sound like a genwunner but I really like the first gen the most when it comes to those types of designs.
>>27617363
I think you missed the point of his post.
>>27617387
Did I really?
The older artstyle was better, and I do prefer simplistic designs myself, but Pokemon have always had a good mix of girly, realistic, and monster. Even today.
>>27617653
i'm just saying this seems like a little muchi'll stop now, sorry

> Fairy types look fem
SHOCK! AWE! HORROR!
>STILL liking golem
>>27617269
Is true some Anon post a collection of Kaijus here in vp and one was practically Golem. I don't save the pic.
Quite a few of the generation one mons have inconsistent coloration and design elements throughout the years. See: all the sprite coloration differences, fatchu, spiked charmander, blastoise's hatches
>>27617230
Thanks Anon, Ultraman was the answer
BTW, his name is Takkong
Is it Takkong?
>>27618168
Yes, now FIGHT ME!!!
>>27617300
I agree, look how cute barbaracle is.
And it totally panders to my fetish whatever that is
>>27617994
STOP FOLLOWING ME, I'LL LIKE IT FOREVER.
>>27617300
>for fetishists
Have you ever considered the cute/feminine stuff is targeted at little girls just like the scary monster stuff is targeted at little boys?
>>27617120
It's pretty goat, I would say
>>27617120
Graveler and Machoke trade features. Machamp gains four arms from Graveler and Golem gets a reptile face from Machoke.

Nice fucking meme. Maybe you should all off yourselves
>>27617120
No. This is Pokémon.
>>27617694
Atsuko Nishida designed a massive chunk of gen 1. She also designed Sylveon.
Interesting to see how she developed.
>>27617120
I always wondered why the Geodude line, despite looking like they're purely made out of rock didn't weight enough. I think it is just a normal pokemon witha rocky exterior, maybe ground type, like a sandshrew, hence the double typing.

Thak you Richard

evidence please
not saying you're wrong, just genuinely interested

Missingno. is Victini confirmed
>>27617334
Deepest lore holy shit
>>27617269
They're not based on kaiju, they just look somewhat similar because they're Japanese monsters, and there are so many kaiju that no matter what you design, there will be a kaiju that somewhat resembles it.
