Ironically enough, Munna line is often related to Drowzee line. By chunky, that NPC might have actually meant Drowzee.

I wonder if Ultra Beasts are intentional nod to weird aesthetically unfitting fakemons like Doomsay.

That'd be kind of interesting.
I remember seeing some old designs floating around the web back in the day, a lot of them looked hideously out of place.

I highly doubt it's a coincidence. Gen 5 is full of discount Gen 1 Pokemon, is it really hard to believe they'd use Munna as the Unovan Drowzee and slip a nod to this NPC in there too?

Of all the fake Pokegods, why is Doomsday the only one that still stands out?

>>31081054
Probably because it's one of the few which had even remotely consistent graphics.

A lot of pokegods had really bad MSPaint shitscribbles or palette swapped sprites frorm some JRPG. Usually to palettes which the game and system just didn't have.

"The Trainer's thoughts joined with the Pokémon's mind, and a lustrous Aqua Ring unfurled...' That's part of a novel I wrote. I absolutely love writing about the close bonds between the Trainers who come here and the Pokémon they train"
