Why does bug type get some incredibly cool pokemon every gen now?

Pokemon was inspired by bug collecting, I like that they get good designs every gen.

>>29416970
>vivillion
Not every gen. But most yes. Even in gen 1.

>>29416970
>implying it won't be Water/Steel

>>29417167
You have 10 seconds to name a gen that didn't introduce a cool bug

>>29417189
He literally just said Vivilion.

>>29417172
Wimpod is Bug/Water. Pokémon very rarely lose the first type.
It will Bug/Steel at worst

>>29416970
Why are people jizzing themselves over this thing?

>>29417382
Its genuinely fearsome looking which is rare for Pokemon

He looks like he could be drinking buddies with the Yautja

>>29416970
Because bugs in real life comes in all shapes and forms, it's not hard to just take one of the million of species and just make it look awesome.

>>29417382
Because it has the kind of ''cool'' and ''threatening'' design that you wouldn't find usually in a pokemon game, it's the closest thing to a edgy cool fakemon that you will get without it being edgy.

Best part is the + shaped eyes.

Why do bugs keep winning, /vp/?

How will ice/steel/dark EVER recover?

>>29416970
There first try at making a giant isopod mon an they nailed it. This really is the gen for Bug, Grass and Ghost fans.

>>29416970
It's kind of based on a samurai, isn't it?

>>29417382

Because it's awesome to see something so skittish man the fuck up when it evolves. It's basically the school nerd who went full Zyzz and reached his full potential.

To make up for how fucking terrible they were the first few gens. Now that theyve caught up with everyone else you somehow think its favoritism.

>>29419321

>Ghost

Ghost got jack this gen. Nearly every other gen was better than this one.

>there are people who actually LIKE redditpod
holy shit

>>29417205
Mega Beedrill tho

Each gen has a fucking killer Bug type.

>>29416970
>Bug/Dragon
>Bug/Fighting
Pick one.

Though by the way the arms and body give off a shine, it will be Bug/Steel.

>Heracross
>Buffpod
>Volcarona
>Vikavolt
>Galvantula
>Scolipede
>Ninjask
>Shedinja
>Pinsir
>Mega Beedrill
>Scyther and Scizor
>Parasect
>Venomoth
>Shuckle


Is there any type as consistently well designed as bug type?

>>29419414
I think Poison is pretty neat, with very few stinkers

And also very few new pokémon, seriously two fucking lines in two gens

>>29419315
By simply being better types in general.

>>29416970
>it turns bug/fighting

How mad would you be?

>>29416970
Reminds me of Barbaracle

>>29419360
He's probably one of those people who thinks mimkyu is a top tier design

>>29419462
>That moment when Mimkyu was supposed to be the Pikaclone this gen.
>That moment when the real Pikaclone hasn't got jackshit.

>>29416970
It's an apology for making 70% of bug types garbage before Gen 5.

>>29419321
>drampa, turtonator, komm-o, alolan exeggutor

It's a good gen for us dragon fags too

>>29419414
I unironically like every dragon type design. Even goodra.

Does anyone else prefer the diving spider? Though they're all great and this is the best gen for bug/arthropod designs, even if Volcarona and Shedinja are still my favorites.
>>29417172
More likely to lose Water. Water doesn't play a role in Wimpod's lore.

>>29419360
>Lunala
>Oricorio
>Pallosand
>Tapu Ghost
>Mimikyu
>Anchor mon
Yeah, Ghost sure got cucked this gen. Just cause Dark and Ice got, doesn't mean you have to drag down others.

>>29419481
>STILL forcing the "Mimikyu is a pikaclone" meme
"Pikaclone" is a term that was used to defy the "regional electric rodent" we got every gen. That's why everyone else refers to Togedemaru as the Pikaclone, but not Mimikyu.

>>29419451
I wouldn't be, because I don't have a shitty boner obsession for Bug/Water

>>29416970
>Geodude used sunnyday
>""""Cool badass pokemon"""" fainted

>>29416970
To make up for it being the shittiest type in the game.

>>29419597
>neutral
>doesn't even know how the meme works
>STILL pushing this dead meme
Do me a favor and throw that PC cause it's clear it's no use to you.

>>29419619
Sorry, didnt knew the meme police was patrolling on /vp/

>>29419432
>half of gen1 is poison type

>>29419484
Zard X?

>>29419689
Oh right he's pretty cool too even though I like zard Y better.

I wasn't thinking about megas, but that reminded me I don't really care for ampharos. I don't dislike it though

>>29419491
also alolan Marowak

>>29419383
That's a form though

>>29419414
I'd say only Grass and Dragon are better overall.

>>29419462
That's because it is.

>>29419321
ah yes two pure grass lines with leaf guard and another grass/flying. truly the pinnacle gen for grass fans.

>>29417382
The same reason people suck Tyrantrum's cock: insect monsters are cool the same way dinosaurs are cool. OF course, it's all just subjective circlejerking.

>>29420377
Grass has some of the most boring mons in the series.

>>29420511
More like
>three grass mons with great designs
>one is immune to priority
Is competitive viability ass that matters to you when Robinhoot, Tsareena, and Lurantis are all 10/10 designs?

>>29416970
Not Gen 6. Gen 6 suuucked for bugs.

>>29424975
It also has some of the most interesting though
>Vileplume
>Victreebel
>Breloom
>Cacturne
>Tropius
>Torterra
>Tangrowth
>Whimsicott
>Ferrothorn
>Trevenant
>Gourgeist
>Robinhoot
>Lurantis
>Tsareena
>Alolan Exeggutor

>select all images with grass

>>29419383
TIL Beedrill is a gen 6 pokemon

Cause you bout to get SWANKED by some bugs sun!

And they fucking better make a badass physical Bug/Water type that's the opposite of Volcorona, cause that be fucking baller.

>>29425269
>tsareena 10/10

lol no.

and design isn't everything. those three are nowhere near close to making this is a peak for grass fans.

>>29425269
I dislike Tsareena and find Rowlet3 average. Lurantis is cool. 2/3

>>29417417
>Yuatja
My nigger. I know what I'm going to name mine now.

>>29420511
>HA's don't exist
If you don't think Lurantis and Robinhoot are simply amazing even counting A Exeggutor, then you weren't a Grassfag to begin with.

>>29425341

Mega Beedril is still Gen 6 design and pretty different from regular Beedrill so..

>>29419462
Mimikyu is a genuinely good design that plays off of Pikachu's popularity. The only issue is that the lore works for a single mon and not a species but who gives a shit about that anyway.

>>29426332
>you're not a true fan!

grow up. i like them all except tsareena. but in no way does that make this a good gen for grass. that's like saying it's a good gen for rock fans because they got minior and the two wolves.

>>29426349
..So the goalposts have successfully been moved I guess.

>>29419619
uhhhh doodoo

How do other gens even compete?

>>29416970
i hope this is the pseudo

>>29427351
It's Kommo-o. This probably has the same stat total as Gyarados and Milotic but with a focus on Speed.

>>29419414
It's a shame that there are so few that are viable

>>29427351

>2 stage
>pseudo

>>29424975
There are plenty of boring Bug types like Butterfree, Beautifly, Dustox, Wormadam, Mothim, Ledian, Ariados, and Vivillon as well.

>>29427457
well that sucks

>>29427499
i didn't know it was a 2 stage, i don't think i've seen the first one

Come on. You could have at least posted an actually good Grass starter like Sceptile. Torterra is overrated.

He is this gen's Gyarados.

It's a shame that both Shiftry and Cacturne had to be introduced in "Slow Frail Mixed Attackers: The Generation".

Lunala is awkward as fuck with its wing blades and stupid collar.

The birds are trash. Not only are they absurdly plain and simplistic, but it doesn't even look like a ghost type. It just is one.

And yes, the anchor is just an anchor. Tired of that shit.

>>29427544

It was officially revealed months ago

>doesn't even look like a ghost type
I have never heard anyone use these claims as to not liking Oricorio. Don't most people typically like Oricorio because of this? There are FAR more plain and simplistic Pokemon than Oricorio, anon.

Moreover, do Pokemon need to look like their typings now? Is that something that's that important?

Gen 5 had the best bugs.

>>29428254
People like a ghost type for not looking like a ghost type? That's completely idiotic.

Yes, they do need to evoke the idea that they belong to their type. If Venusaur was randomly a Fire type that wouldn't make any sense either.

>>29426621
>scizor twice as tall as heracross

they're only a foot apart

>>29428333
>By means of its dance, it gathers the spirits drifting about in an area and borrows their power to fight.
I personally give the Tapus and Oricorios a pass because it's clear that they primarily get their typings from the island colors, and having 4 Legendaries that were all just Fairy type would be super boring.

>>29427499
What would you consider volcarona?

>>29416970
It's going to be Bug/Dragon and it's going to be great

>>29428531
A unique Pokemon not part of any classification. It's closer to Lucario if anything.

>>29427537
>ledian
>ariados
>boring
how DARE you

>>29429049
They are pointless shitmons and are completely boring compared to Heracross and Scizor.

>>29426621
except scizor was a mistake

>>29428611
Fuck yes

>>29429468
being a shitmon doesn't make them boring, it makes them a shitmon

>>29428611
Bug/Water is a better typing tbqh

>>29427931
Lunala looks like a JRPG summon, which is why I like it so much. Looks godly, ornate, and legendary af. Also, ghost Oricorio is obviously a channeler/spirit medium, which is a refreshing take for the ghost type. I dare say it's kinda nice to see that there's more to the ghost type than possessed objects, wraiths, and apparitions. Mimikkyu is just all kinds of twisted and fucked when you think about it. Can't say I care too much for the ugly castle. Don't know next to shit enough about Angkor and Tapu to judge.

>>29426605
>I'll mention reddit, now people will have to agree with me!

>>29416970
But OP, we haven't gotten a cool bug type since gen 5.
