yeah, no, if it wasn't a rock type we would have no reason to believe they were made of rock, so it isn't "clearly" made out of rock
>>28696990

Lucario barely looks like a steel type either, maybe GF thought it would be a good idea to make another furbait dog pokemon that barely looks like a rock type
>>28697217
It's Ground and Rock type
>>28697217
>>entire body is made out of rocks
Only its hide.
>>28697217
>>entire body is made out of rocks
It looks like regular grey skin to me
>>28697255
>overmarketed
How so? It doesn't have it's own movie or event like lucario and zoroark. They're only similarity is standing on 2 legs.
>>28696970
It's rock type because the moon is a rock and they are werewolves.
>>28697162
Yeah maybe we'll also get a living fireball that's Water/Ice! Better to be unique than have a consistent, immersive world.
>>28696990
>>28697129
at least he looks hard and tough. wolves are fluffy and fleshy.
>>28697323
Not sure if this is a DP anime reference or not.
I'm going to spell it out for your candy-ass /vp/
Get this, werewolves are powered by the moon
The moon is a big ass rock
Therefore, rock-type
>but I was only pretending to be retarded
Don't kid yourself. We all know this meme needs to die
I mean, did Mawile really look like a Steel-type? Do Turtonator or Alolan Exeggutor look like Dragon-types? Does Sneasel look like an Ice-type? Sometimes we just get thrown curve balls.
>>28697365
>Get this, werewolves are powered by the moon

You know what, I'm pretty sure this is not the reason it's rock-type.

>>28697270
and yet it looks far more like a rock type than edgewolf.
>>28697277
>>28697309
You see, you may think it looks like skin/hide, but you are wrong. It's made of rock, and looks 100% like rock.

Really?
>>28697377
>Do Turtonator or Alolan Exeggutor look like Dragon-types?
Alolan Exeggutor is based on dragonfruit. It's a vague relation, but it makes sense.
>Does Sneasel look like an Ice-type?
It lives on icy mountains.
>>28697598
Lileep too.
>>28697516
>>28697557
>What are fossils
>>28697620
Stunfisk and Eelektrik come from the sea, but they're not water types.
>>28697620
And yet they don't look like they'd be Rock type. The point of this thread is bitching about how Lycanroc doesn't look like a rock type, and that rock types have always looked like they were made of rocks.
However, the fact remains that we have several Pokemon that don't look like they'd be rocks. It doesn't matter that they were revived from rocks. They don't look the part.
I can accept it being Rock-type, but both forms AND Rockruff are PURE Rock? Rockruff and Midday scream part Normal and Midnight screams Dark.
>>28697629
types need to have certain characteristics or else there's no definition of the type.
rock type is very simple. it needs to look rocky or hard. wolves are fluffy and soft and have nothing to do with rocks.
>>28697630
>Alolan Exeggutor is based on dragonfruit. It's a vague relation, but it makes sense.
Not what he asked man. The correct answer is no, they don't look like fucking dragons. But the entire point is a little bullshit anyway because dragons don't exist so people will say you can make a dragon be whatever you want, even though there are very accepted depictions
Sneasel also doesn't look like an ice type. I understand it's where it lives and shit, bu the fact is, no, sneasel doesn't look like "a creature that lives on icy weather"
>>28697667
they literally should be so i don't view that as a counterpoint
>>28697683
>And yet they don't look like they'd be Rock type
yes they do. they're prehistoric fossil pokemon. fossils = rocks. so they look like rock type.
Lycanroc doesn't look like a rock type NOR does any of its lore give it sense for being rock type
>>28697685
>types need to have certain characteristics or else there's no definition of the type.
>>28697722
They looked exactly the same before their remains got fossilized.
They're not fossils.
>>28697702
>The correct answer is no, they don't look like fucking dragons
But they do. Exeggutor is a long necked creature with clawed feet and a tail and Turtonator is a reptile. They look like dragons.
Sneasel looks like an ice type because it's a kamaitachi.
>>28697630
>vague relation
Lycanroc having rocks on its claws and such is also a "vague relation".
>literally a yellow rat

>>28697758

Nope
>>28697772

That's an oversymplification fallacy, jackass. Don't play dumb.
>>28697685

Obviously it's a nod to rock music. Both doggos have the rock music aesthetic.

>>28697798
You're telling me that they looked more rocky? Way to prove my point, the fact that you revive them from fossils is not what makes them rock types.
>>28697445
Because your hopes and dreams are dead
>>28697851
HOPE WILL NEVER DIE!
>>28697801
>That's an oversymplification fallacy, jackass
No it isn't. Name literally any creature that has a long neck, claws, fangs, and a tail that isn't a dragon. Any reptile can also pass as a dragon.
>>28697846
that particular one looked more rocky
but they still had different appearances before being fossilized so fossils make them rock types.
>>28697722
Except they don't. If you honestly took a glance at the Pokemon, they wouldn't really LOOK like they would be rock types. Ignoring the fact that they are revived from fossils and taking in the appearance of them as they are, we can see that they don't have much of a rocky appearance.
Archeops's physical appearance looks like it has even less to do with rocks than Lycanroc does.
As such, there's no reason why Lycanroc should get any flack just because it isn't completely covered in rock.
>>28697798
>Nope
Yes, that's nice, but you're ignoring non-mega'd Aerodactyl here. Regardless of the mega form or not, we've had Aerodactyl since the beginning, and it never really looked exactly like a rock.
>>28697836
What I see is a rat made of literal flesh. Unless it's 70% electricity, it's a Normal type.
>>28697908
>As such, there's no reason why Lycanroc should get any flack just because it isn't completely covered in rock.
Lycanroc isn't a fossil.
>Regardless of the mega form or not, we've had Aerodactyl since the beginning
not the point. The point is that they had different appearances pre-fossilization. Use context faggot.

This is only true for Aerodactyl.
>so fossils make them rock types
Nice source.
>>28697954
>Lycanroc isn't a fossil
We're talking about monster design, not lore.
>>28697772
Kamaitachi are more associated with wind, and there's no outward indication that Sneasel is an Ice-type. If it's about the area it resides in, well, Lycanroc (Midday form, at least), lives in deserts where there's plenty of sand and rocks.
>>28697997
>>>>> Any reptile can also pass as a dragon.
>>28697992
It has Rock Head. Its head is made out of rocks.
>>28698021
>This is only true for Aerodactyl.
No it's only CONFIRMED for Aerodactyl but if Aerodactyl had a different appearance then any of the other fossils could have had different appearance. hence fossilization makes them rock type.
>Nice source.
The game is my source.
>>28697893
>Name literally any creature that has a long neck, claws, fangs, and a tail that isn't a dragon

seals don't have long necks and it has a fish like tail, not a reptile-like tail
try harder.
>>28697954
But it doesn't matter if they are fossil Pokemon or not. What matters here, and is the subject as a whole, is that Pokemon such as the fossil mons don't have a rocky appearance to them. Their physical appearance isn't rocky.
We're examining these Pokemon based upon their physical appearance at a glance. Not their origin.
>>28698112
>>>>>>seals don't have long necks
>and it has a fish like tail, not a reptile-like tail
There are also reptiles with fins on their tails, see basilisks.
>>28696970

Yeah, it was awful.
Lycanroc is the first Rock type I actually love.
>>28697893
Solenodons, their Poison/Normal type
>>28698139
Their origin is what makes them look like their type.
A fish pokemon isn't LITERALLY made out of water, but you can generally assume it's water type because it comes from water
just like you can say fossil pokemon look like rock types because they came from rocks
>>28698144
>>>>>>seals don't have long necks
Yeah. They don't
>There are also reptiles with fins on their tails, see basilisks.
It still looks like a reptile tail and not a fucking fish tail
>>28698207
The neck you posted is very long, and that tail isn't fish-like.
>>28697893
What's the link between turtles and dragons, then? I've never encountered any such dragon that could be mistaken for a turtle. Snake, maybe, but not a turtle.
And that argument for Alolan Exeggutor looking like a Dragon is so poor that I'm just going to assume it's bait, so sorry for not taking it.
>>28698068
>It has Rock Head. Its head is made out of rocks.
They also has LightingRod. Its rod is made out of Lightning.
>>28698207
>Their origin is what makes them look like their type.
But again, we aren't talking about the origin here. We're talking about the physical appearance by just looking at the Pokemon.
>just like you can say fossil pokemon look like rock types because they came from rocks
But the thing is, you're using previous knowledge as part of your understanding. Ignore the fact that they're fossilmon for a moment and just look at them without that knowledge. Just take in their physical appearance and how they look. Ignore the origin.
>>28698251
It's a rod that attracts lightning idiot. Rock Head means its head is actually made out of rocks. That's why rock types get it.
>>28698239
>What's the link between turtles and dragons, then?
Turtles are reptiles. Dragons are fictional reptiles. Turtonator is a fictional reptile.
>And that argument for Alolan Exeggutor looking like a Dragon is so poor
It's not though
>>28698232
It's not long and it doesn't look like a fish because it's a skeleton. Seals still have fish-like tails when there's flesh on them.
>>28698311
>But again, we aren't talking about the origin here
Yes we are. Origin comes into play when saying a pokemon "looks like" its type
>Just take in their physical appearance and how they look. Ignore the origin.

It's a monster with rock elemental powers, thus it's a Rock-type.
It also has more rocks on its body than Arcanine has fire.
We need more Rock-types that are creatures with rock powers rather than literally being made of rock, because most Rock-types are pretty samey in both appearance and stats.

>>28698620

But it still looks like a fire type because of its coloration and fire shaped hair on its legs.

>>28698677
no because they're real creatures and we know that it doesn't breathe fire.
But in the context of a video game, the orange creature with flare like hair all over it is likely to be fire type.
And it's funny that you mention tigers being fire types considering THEY JUST MADE ONE

Remember when Ice Pokemon didn't have to have literal chunks of ice on them? They were more like another "mysterious" type until Glalie.
Anyway I like that they're playing with types. Alolan Marowak and Sensu Oricorio are the first Ghost types who are both channelers, rather than ghouls themselves.

>Name literally any creature that has a long neck, claws, fangs, and a tail that isn't a dragon
But Exeggutor isn't an animal. The number of animals that have claws and fangs (no herbivores) and long necks and tails (no birds, very narrow long body shape) is incredibly limited anyway. Now if I design a pokemon based on an umbrella, a flower, a pencil, a knife or yeah a goddamn palm tree and give it claws, fangs and a tail does it look like a dragon to you?
>>28704300

i really like this bug/poison mon
It lives in rocky mountains.
Both have rocks protruding from their bodies.
I do agree that they look like pokemon who would have rock as their secondary typing. Eg: Normal/Rock Dark/Rock
But just alot of pokemon don't necessarily look extremely like their typing
