So THAT'S why the official artwork shows it having those spikes. It just goes to show how the 3D models can really do a lot of neat details. On the other hand...

I don't know what to feel about Mega Sharpedo anymore

>>28292280
>Crobat canonically doesn't open its mouth
Source on that please. I know that it doesn't open its mouth in recent sprites/models, and thats good considering how hideous its teeth look, but i doubt that its official and canon that it has been retconned to not open its mouth anymore, since it can use some biting moves and has to eat something, as it is a bat.

>>28292397
well it doesn't open its mouth in amie to eat lol

>>28292378

That's what sharks are mostly made of.

>>28292411
This>>28292428
also applies here. There are many Pokemon that don't open their mouth in amie. That does not suggest that they retconned how its jaw works.

Why does Probopass have 3 mini noses stuck to it? Because it's supposed to resemble the directional compass from the top. Along with the whole moai hat and iron filling mustache concept, Probopass has plenty of clever things going on with its design. It's a shame people just write it off for being "ugly".

I wanna take this moment to complain that GameFreak forgot their own lore with Nosepass. It's always directed northward, and cannot be too close to other Nosepass as they'd repel each other and become disoriented.
So why the hell are they in horde battles in Kalos?

Everyone knows the crystal gems are sexist and wouldn't add a guy, then again Mewtwo is sexless, so it'll fit right in.

they can be in a group, but their noses repel if they try to face one another.
