ITT: Stuff you misinterpreted about Pokemon designs

>>27989324
I didn't realize Poliwag's nose is not a nose until somebody pointed it out yesterday.
I mean, it only makes sense, there were several genwun mons which had a pink nose like that, like Diglett or Weedle.
Took me almost 20 years.

>>27989427
Did you not watch the anime? even in the first gen?

>>27989427
Until yesterday?!

>>27989451
A bit, not much though. I found it pretty damn boring even as a kid.
I know Misty had a Poliwag but I don't think I saw any eps with it before it evolved.

>>27989427
>>27989451
I was the guy who pointed it out in yesterday's thread and I got that it was a mouth only when Misty got one.

>>27989324
It still baffles me that people thought the circles were cradily's eyes.

>>27989643
Isn't that part of the point, though? It's a fake face

At least I thought that was the point

>>27989324
>mfw I know that's Nosepass foot But I still can't help seeing it as his mouth
>mfw you are now breathing manually

>>27989324
So I've finally appeared on one of these. Strange new days

>>27989324
You should've included the image of hariyama with a creepy as fuck smile in its neck

I didn't realize Heatran was a Wailord with legs and wearing a mask until last month.

I can't think of any misinterpreted design atm.
Although I opted to think that Mawile is scared of other poke and faces me for emotional support.

>>27990025
>megas whose design aspects aren't apparent unless you look up animations in the dex and are not promoted elsewhere

Same thing with Sharpedo, the "spikes" on it's snout are retractable, and only appear when attacking.

Fucking dumb bullshit.

There's always somebody out there who doesn't know, I only learnt about it 2 months ago, so here it is: Porygon-Z is just a fucked up porygon2, with a upside-down head and body, even the name is like a corruption, since a Z is like 2.

Where is the greninja pic from?

the chesnaught looks like it has big green balls

anyone got the full pic so i can solve my own misinterpreted mind fuck

>>27990101
It's Z as in "Z-Axis", which means 3D.
I'm still conflicted about how GF didn't just name it Porygon3D.

I mean I think the only really big one that comes to mind is that I used to think Luxray was some kind of dog. I was pretty adamant until I realized Shinx = Sphinx. I just wanted a really cool pupper Pokemon...

>>27990025
>You never see these animations since they decided to make it a Skill Link abuser, and all of the multi hit attacks don't even use the Pokemon's animations
What the fuck did they mean by this?

As a kid I thought, what is, Hariyama's chest was was a really big chin and the blue crests on his head were his eyebrows. The line that is his neck I thought was a mouth.

i still see metapod like that. angry green crescent moon man.
when i was a kid because the only art of snorlax they ever used was pic related i though the teeth were the eyes, eyes were eyebrows, and tan part of stomach was a big upper lip like a dog with no nose and somehow this made sense to me.

>>27990066
That's kind of adorable anon.

>>27989684
Yes that's the point, but it's a cartoon. It's depicted cartoonishly. In a way that no real-life human is actually intended to fall for it.

How the fuck do you actually fall for FAKE eyes that aren't even designed to actually work on you? You seriously didn't notice the whites of its eyes were green? What the fuck?

>>27990077
I believed the Medapod nose too.

>>27990151
Why 3D? Whats more 3D about Z than the literal spaceship?
Z makes way more sense as edgy hacker motif, also serving to underly the corruption of 2

Let's get another common one out of the way

>>27990193
pffft hahahha

>>27990289
Because polygon is used for 3d modeling fampai.

>>27990180
Fucking right. Rhyperior has this amazing animation for using its arm Cannons but when you use Rock Blast or Wrecker it just hops in fucking place.

>>27990193
I can see the eyes
but the lip?
what were you on anon

>>27990299
>UNCUT BONER.jpg

Cannot unsee.

MEGA-MEGAMAN

>>27989324
Where's the one with the anon that somehow thought Tentacool had big red eyes and is holding it's hands together or some shit
who the actual fuck would see that

Kawaii desu ne senpai!

I wouldn't calm it a misinterpretation, since I know what it looks like. I'd say I looked at it wrong once and can't unsee it.

I love FRLG, but I hate the Metapod sprite.

It looks stoned, and it's "lip" is like that because it's too high to give a fuck.

SUPER FIGHTING BEETLE
MEGA HERRACROSS

>>27990687
That's how it's supposed to be, though. The angry crescent design is the common misinterpretation.

I can never look at Metapod without thinking of Droopy or some other laid-back cartoon dog.

>>27990856
I've argued with people for years who still think the angry-eyes view is the "correct" one.

>>27989324
the first time i ever played b/w and encountered a woobat/swoobat, i thought the heart on their face was their eye. And with swoobat, i still thought it was the eye, but the white on the side was a big curled toothy smile. my eyesight must be fucked. but now i know what it's actually supposed to be, and honestly i like my interpretation of it more

>>27991375
The exact same happened to me. Now with his 3D model I can't even see him like I used to.

It was always 3D, that's kind of the whole idea for the line, no point in calling this specific stage "3D".

I thought Walrein's nose was his head and his nosetrils his eyes.

Never noticed the eyes on Wobbuffet's tail. Is it like Girafarig with two heads?

>>27991375
you read too many naughty doujins where the pupils are hearts

it is based on Sanpei Hayashiya (wob's signature pose and jap name come from his hallmark jokes). A comedian who died of liver cancer. He still did his job and entertained people even though he knew he was dying. He puts up a big, funny facade (the blue part) for the people to laugh at while he hides the dark truth behind him. (which is why it has eyes. it's the real him.)

>>27991593
well woobat evolves via friendship, and it learns a move called "heart stamp", so it's not too unlikely that it COULD have heart pupils, but i know NOW it's a nose

>>27990185
This.

>>27990362
>>27990919
even i can't get myself to see it the way i originally did anymore idk i was like 7

>>27990980
yeah kind of i guess, this is the best way i can think to describe it

>>27990193
I can actually see it.

>>27991637
Wow. If real, that's a lot darker than I was expecting.

>>27991785
check the dex entries.
it's real.

I still don't understand Lombre not having an underbite

>>27990558
You mean this?

>>27992373
why would he just ignore the pupil
aren't autists prone to noticing details?

>>27992373
This is the first one I literally cannot see.

>>27992413
Do I need to remind you that half the people in that thread saw some impossibly retarded shit that can only be seen by someone with horrible eyesight? It's very possible he just never saw it.
