Anyone ever think about the "descriptions" pokémon have?
For example, why is Crawdaunt the Rogue Pokémon?
Why is Spheal the Clap Pokémon?
Did you know that both Pancham and Monferno are the "Playful Pokémon"?
>the clap Pokemon
It's because he's a seal
>>28635762
>a seal
>evolves in a sea lion
>said sea lion then evolves in a walrus
I miss times when evolutionary lines in pokemon made sense.
>>28635920
But that does make sense.
Seals, sea lions and walruses are all pretty closely related.
>>28635920
Sealeo is a seal tho
>>28635920
>Rabbit evolves into rhino which evolves into a dinosaur
>Remora evolves into octopus
>Horseshoe crab evolves into praying mantis-fish
Shall I go on anon?
>>28636063
Is that first one supposed to be the Nidos?
>>28635163
I don't even know why those exist anymore. It makes no sense most of the time and it's never served any purpose.
What they should do is replace the "Species name" from the dex with one of the egg groups (it would require renaming most of them to avoid confusion). It's been years since breeding was introduced and we still don't have an ingame way to see which Pokemon can breed without trial and error in a game with over 700 distinct creatures
>>28636063
Please go on, I enjoyed reading evolutions written out this way.
>>28636209
>Pearl has split evos
>Moray Eel or Snipe Eel
I'll never wrap my head around that one
Reminder that Slowbro is a hermit crab, Bidoof's a mouse, and Groudon's a continent.
>>28636063
>Rabbit, rhino, dinosaur
are you dumb?
>>28636063
>seal evolves into a dugong
>>28636063
>Kabutops
>Mantis shrimp
Not even close
This is a mouse.
>>28636245
I always thought Clamperl was actually an egg inside a clam. You know those fishes that make hundreds of small red eggs
>>28636121
Specifically the male Nido line, yes
>>28636209
>one magnet evolves into three magnets that evolves into a UFO
>piglet evolves into boar that evolves into woolly mammoth
>clam evolves into gulper eel or oarfish
Just for you anon
>>28635920
>worm evolves into cocoon which evolves into a wasp
Such sense
>>28636251
Are you?
>>28636296
Still goes against the anon's complaint, horseshoe crabs and mantis shrimp aren't closely related
>>28636149
I totally agree. I'd go even as far as to say, that those "types" were always a bunch of nonsene. How did the people of Kanto know what a "Rat" is, when they only had Rattatas?
>>28636269
kek
Emboar's description is the best
"Mega Fire Pig" Pokemon.
>>28635920
>eggs evolve into a tree
keep thinking how you think anon
>>28635163
I get those two, but why is grumpig the "manipulate" pokemon? what does it manipulate?
I never understood the Snorunt -> Glalie evolution. I feel like it's kind of random. Also Glalie is ugly to me. So is mega.
>Absol is the disaster pokemon
With a mega design like that, it fits!
>>28636482
>Eggs are grass type
Theyre coconuts
>>28636538
Theyre Youkai, the entire line is.
>>28636580
>>28636482
They're seeds, actually.
>>28636601
What the fuck do you think a coconut is?
>Claydol is the Clay Doll pokemon
I think about them all the time when some idiots swings by and calls Cyndaquil a mouse.
Blastoise is my favorite Shellfish Pokémon.
>>28636630
Then explain the cannons.
Its based on Mussels, a type of shellfish, which have tubes they use to expel water at high pressure to move around. Blastoise uses the tubes to attack things

Mistranslated, was supposed to be Water Ball, but there wasnt enough room for the full phrase in Japanese and the translation team went against their better judgment and translated the portion of the phrase literally due to executive meddling.
>>28636618
>>28636675
What about the fact that it's a giant turtle.
>>28635920
You tried, have one more
>>28636538
Snorunt and Froslass = Japanese clothed snow spirits.
Glalie = Ice Demon.
>>28636001
Sealeo
Sea Leo
Sea Lion
>>28636828
Ahh, thank you. I know it was some nip shit that I wasn't in on.
>Ogre Scorp
What the fuck is an ogre darner?
>>28636909
a quick google search reveals darners are a type of dragonfly
>>28636909
In japanese it's "Oni Dragonfly"
Demon or devil dragonfly would probably be more fitting but I don't know if they'd use those words.
>yfw People sexualized this
>>28635163
Slowbro is still HERMIT CRAB
>>28636905
>>28636909
And people say we don't have an Ogre Pokemon yet.
>>28635920
>ball turns upside down
>superglue 3 magnets together
>boulder with arms turns into a rock covered turtle thing
>fucking kadabra
>kuriboh turns into moth
>>28636630
It isn't called Shellfish in Japan you retard. It's meant to be the Shell Pokemon but got mistranslated.
