is Totodile based on an autistic child?

Did your parents work at Game Freak?
>>28696935
What could possibly have led you to that assumption?
Totodile is an innocent autistic child
Croconaw is a troubled preteen metalhead
Feraligatr is the confused dad who fucks up at every turn but his children still turn out okay, in relative terms
>>28696989
so it's literally me except I'm not a dad
>>28696989
>he's an innocent autistic child with troubled-preteen-metalhead tendencies
MODS MODS MODS.

No, it's Snivy
>>28696986
Hand flapping, it's a behavior found in autists

Is makuhita based on a fat Asian child?
>>28696935
Just made for autistic children
>>28696958
>>28697415I know, I work at an autism center. A single behavior is not enough to justify a claim like that, especially as mild a behavior as hand flapping.
If Totodile also avoided eye contact, parroted words, and lacked creativity while playing, and was named Autistodile, then maybe you'd be onto something.
That's like saying Stunfisk had Down syndrome because its face is flat.

It's called stimming. Hand flapping isn't the only way it can manifest and many neuro typical and atypical people can display this behavior at a young age without being on the spectrum.

No.

Oh shit, you got me.
Of course all Pokemon are autistic. Everyone is. "Neurotypical" thinkers just have the most common strain, a symptom of which is thinking the most common behavior/thought patterns are inherently correct.

Where did you get this gif of me?

Only in gen 6 and up :'( his 3d model is shit

>projecting this hard
>>28697415
Fun fact: "autist" isn't a word
>>28697415
Does Totodile even have joints in its arms? All it can really do is flap if it doesn't.
>>28699753
It's a series of letters strung together with an attached meaning and it's used by many people. Words can be new, even stupid shit. Fun fact.
>>28699753
Autist detected.
