Wrong, it's a dolphin.

Anyone still calling it a swordfish are retarded

>>29482017
>I don't know what swordfishes look like

None of them seem very similar so I don't know which you're referring to OP

Its fins do not look like any mammal's.

Nice job. Stay mad swordfish fags. We've finally got our dolphin pokemon. Deal with it.

Why is its Tapu Fini's dorsal fin clearly retractable? Why is its horn more skewer-shaped and less blunt than a dolphin's?

Alternatively, because I know those are hard, big boy questions, justify it being a dolphin with non-meme reasons.

>>29482017
>>29482074
You only see a dolphin because of the Chinese leaker.

>>29482074
nigga can you not see that the bill on tapu fini is SHARP like a swordfish? if it was fatter and rounder, yes, it's a dolphin. but its clearly not.

>>29482017
yea you know those dolphins with fins on their heads and super pointed mouths

kys its a fucking swordfish

>>29482162
Look man. I also want a dolphin mon too badly. But Tapu Fini is clearly not it.

>>29482202
Did you go to elementary school? It has a horizontal tail and a long nose. It's a dolphin.

My OPpish is a bit rusty, but is it the butterfly?

>>29482223
>It has a horizontal tail
What tail? I see no tail here.

>and a long nose.
Too long, too sharp, and too narrow for it to belong to a dolphin.

>>29482223
It doesn't have a tail at all, unless you're referring to the creature inside the tiki shell which is clearly a fucking mermaid.

People who say Tapu Fini isn't a dolphin are just memesters and shitposters and need to be ignored.

I figured it out. Rooster, Butterfly, and Swordfish all lay eggs, a Bull doesn't. So the Bull is the odd one out.

Uh...one is an invertebrate?

I think the people saying it's a dolphin need pictures overlapping so they can see for themselves it isn't, because otherwise they're too autistic to realize on their own

Tapu Fini does not have a neck piece like the other three.
>Koko has the orange bits that look like dangling flesh from a severed head
>Lele has the black proboscis that can just hang on
>Bulu has the metal joint on its tail like some kind of lego piece
>Fini is just an oval shell with a horn and dorsal fin


Bulu's shell/shield/whatever doesn't have as many tribal designs on it.
>Koko looks like an angry chicken with a stitched forehead
>Lele looks like a bug with typical compound eyes and fancy marks
>Fini looks like a fish with teeth sticking out


Bulu isn't based on an animal with good aerial or aerodynamic capabilities.
>Chickens have wings, though they can't fly too well
>Butterflies have the capability of flight
>Swordfish can jump really fucking good, and have a streamlined form


Bulu is the only one without a humanoid form.
>Koko has a look of a male tribal dancer
>Lele looks like a playful child
>Fini looks like a bored woman

Swordfishes are just cooler dolphins anyway.

>>29482305
>too long
Wrong, it's too short to be a swordfish. Thanks for confirming you're blind, it's also too rounded to be a swordfish

>>29482368
You're blind, those are the lateral fins. They form no tail.

You're right. Everyone knows Tapu Fini is actually a flying fish. I mean, it literally floats. It's also part fairy and they fly xP

>>29482518
Do you not know what a head is?

tapu fini is a marlin. swordfish dorsal fins are like sharks while marlin have a sail

No, rehire comes from "hire", fin.

kys faggot

If the thing was named Tapu Dolfini you fuccos would still argue against it

It's jap name is rehire. Guess it lost its job as a guardian and wants to get rehired :^)

Darn. That still doesn't specify enough.

What's Tapu Fini's name in other languages?

You've had it for four gens already. Orca are a type of dolphin.

Odd. What's Tapu Fini's name in other languages?

>>29483320
but it's not so your argument is stupid and you should feel like a retard.

>>29483320
if only the english name referenced dolphis I would definitely argue against it. See bisharp for an example on localization fucking up the names.

>>29483360
>>29483389
Similar. None of them hint to a specific animal, all of them just mention a fin.

Stay mad dolphinfags, you'll never get your precious dolphin pokemon.

>>29483302
>being that faggot who quotes 2 people while complaining someone quoted a bunch of people

Its name in other languages refer to gills and fish. Dolphins are not fish and don't have gills, therefore its a swordfish.

>>29483885
>gills
Holy shit thank you I read that and it flew right over my head!! Yes, exactly this!

>French: Tocopisco, "pisco" coming from "pisces", fish
>German: Kapu-Kime, "kime" coming from "kieme", gill

>>29483425
Well in French it's Tokopisco which comes from piscis, French for fish and in German it's Kapu-Kime which comes from Kieme, German for gill.

Every other language just references fin, but I think the design + two localisation teams being allowed to reference fish/gills is enough to disprove this dolphin bullshit

>>29483617
>all of them just mention a fin.
>>29484340
>>29484207

>>29484207
oh. Well, that wraps it up.

What is it?

>>29484207
Finally, evidence.

Well, as disappointing as it is, we may never even get a dolphin Pokemon. And it might have something to do with how Japan sees dolphins differently than everyone else in the world does...

Will we ever get a dolphin Pokemon at all? Will we have to listen to people use Kyogre as an example for all eternity? Only time will tell.
