I actually think it's cute. In a goofy type of way. I like that the nootnoot part of it's face.

>>27889785
It's a mata mata turtle combined with a sulfuric land mine. Who cares if it's a dragon.

>tortoise

>>27889785
A mata mata isn't a tortoise

bulky turtles are clearly designed to make the battle drag on forever, I don't see the problem

>>27889785
why are you even surprised
as if its the first time GF made some pokemon a random type

I don't get this meme.

It's a spiky, fire breathing dragon turtle. Basically Bowser the Pokemon. That's really badass. I don't understand why people have a problem with it.

Is no one going to talk about this bullshit instead? It's a fucking bird with a cloud stuck to it. It has absolutely no reason to be Dragon type.
>inb4 durr its a phoenix
Phoenix's are not mythical fire-breathing reptilians you dipshit

>>27890182
Turtles are tortoises are completely different animals, despite the public thinking they are interchangeable terms.

>>27890272
It isn't a turtle though, because it lives on land.

The real question is why Vibrava is dragon type. Dragonflies are bugs with no relation to mythical dragons.

>>27890272
using turlte or tortoise based on living in water or not doesn't make much sense though, since fresh water turtles aren't especially related to sea water ones.

Gaaaaaamera...Gaaaaaameraaaaaa...

>>27890376
Actually, I think Flygon should be a bug/dragon pokémon instead Ground.

>>27890376
Because Yanma already was bug flying dragonfly.

>>27889785
is the yellow line the mouth or is the mouth in the nose?

>>27889915
But this is a complex topic. It is based off the mata mata turtle; that aspect would make it a turtle. It also is a fire type, so that means it must live on land like a tortoise.
I think the real problem here is we are applying the rules of the real world to Pokemon land.

>>27890482
>mata-mata

Kinda loses the effect with that stupid Q-Bert nose.

What does everyone think of SM's models?

>>27890420
There are also differences in shell and limb structure between tortoises and turtles. And they have different diets and defense mechanisms. Turtles and tortoises are drastically different animals, despite their similar appearances.

So a mata-mata made love with a dragon fruit with pepperoni and this new pokemln2 happened?

>>27889785
It head looks like a kappa to be honest

>>27890055
Teeny bopper detected.

>>27890437
That's not logical reasoning. Types shouldn't arbitrarily be decided based on similar Pokemon already existing. That's also not the standard procedure for deciding types in Pokemon. Just look at how many Normal/Flying generic bird Pokemon there are.

>>27890360
It's actually a pokemon.

Really, that's what you complain about?

This is one of the best new pokemon in SM

>>27890680
You can't prove that.

>>27890674
I think that's connected to the actual word "Dragonfly".

>>27890674
Types are already arbitrarily assigned based on what weakness there are or which type they want to nerf.

Also, who's to say Altaria doesn't have dragon-like wings underneath all that cloud? It might also have scales. Scales are very seldom detailed or shown at all in Pokemon illustrations, so you never know.

I only see correct design decisions, OP

>>27889785
Honey, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but...dragons don't exist

It's a dragon Pokemon that's based on a mata mata turtle. There.

Getting triggered by pokemon types is extremely autistic.
You fagoots realise that they aren't real and are only LOOSELY based on real world animals? They aren't ports of real animals into the games because that would be boring as fuck.

>>27891653
Dinosaur bones were often mistaken as those of Dragon Bones. As we all know, dinosaurs became birds, so that means stuff like Blaziken, Pidgeot, Farfetch'd, etc. All dragons.

Shell Smash Fire Dragon type hype?!?

>>27891729
I just want them to be consistent. Ghost types should always be blobs like in 1st gen, dragons should always be dragons, fish should always be water, bugs should always be bugs. This gen is fucking shit up and it is un-creative and embarrassing for them.

>>27889785
>fire type

Yes gamefreak, what we want is more slow fire types

And apparently a 2nd fucking fire tortoise pokemon.

Literally my mom's Bowser

>>27890225
Birds are dinosaurs which are reptiles, so...

>>27889785
>Make it a Dragon type Pokemon
Maybe it's based off of a Chinese Dragon Turtle, though the fire type doesn't make sense then. There's a decent population of chinks in Hawaii.

They must have seen it somewhere while researching Hawaii or some shit.

>>27891894
And apparently a 2nd fucking water/ice seal pokemon.
And apparently an 8th fucking electric mouse pokemon.
And apparently a 4th fucking normal cat pokemon.
And apparently a 4th fucking 600BST physic mythical pokemon.
And apparently a 2nd fucking rock/fairy mineral pokemon.

>>27889785
TOOT

Dragons aren't real and there are many creatures which inspired them. Snakes, lizards, birds, fish, eels, salamanders as well as improperly identified fossils from dinosaurs and a whole slew of extinct animals.

tl;dr anything can be a dragon if you want it to be

>>27890553
Mata-Mata means death in the language its name comes from, so its literally a death turtle.

>>27890482
When you're talking about an unspecified member of Testudines you can refer to it as a turtle.

its an antlion

>>27889785

theyre webbed, tortoises adapted for non water life

Turtle is for the amphibious or primarily aquatic species, tortoise is for the land dwelling species. That said, I hope this guy is tied to geysers or something like that.
