This is your Weedle today.

That "nose" is actually a hairy mole.

>>31638267
Feel old yet?

How would Weedle look if it came out in gen VII?

>>31638293
According to genwunners it would have a bunch of stripes and spikes everywhere as well as big kawaii anime eyes.

Zodiacfags will argue that Weedle is hairy.

What was the intention behind this?

>>31638743
The term in Japan for hermit crabs is already a pun. Instead of yadokani (lodge crab), yadokari (temporary lodge) is used instead. The crustacean connotation isn't actually there.
Yadon and Yadoran denote Slowpoke and Slowbro as the lodge, making Shellder the guest. The pun goes full circle when Shellder has to be the host when Slowbro temporarily withdraws into it, like a hermit crab does into its shell, during megaevolution.

Categories are adjectives rather than the subject. Weedle isn't literally a hairy bug, because bugs aren't a thing in the pokemon world, because everything there is a pokemon. The closest thing to describe what kind of pokemon it is is what we would call a hairy bug.
Kyogre isn't a literal sea basin, Espeon isn't the sun, Blissey isn't the physical form of happiness itself, etc.

Kora refers to the carapace itself rather than the entire animal, so shellfish isn't the most faithful translation ever. I wouldn't completely knock it though, because Kabuto and Kabutops are limulids, and we love calling limulids crabs despite that. Blastoise's shell and cannons, its entire gimmick, function like the siphons and mantle of shellfish, whether it is used for locomotion or storing water. It could even be implied that is used for filter feeding sinec Blastoise's cannons replaced the minogame features on Wartortle.

Shellfish is a mistranslation. In Japanese, it's just the Shell Pokemon.

Kabuto and Kabutops are also called Shell Pokemon instead of Shellfish in Japanese.

Weedle's a sawfly anyway.

>Alolan Persian has Fur Coat
>It doesn't look any more furry than regular Persian, it just has a fat fucking face
Game Freak just don't make any fucking sense.

That's because the face is what's covered in hair, you dingus.

It actually is more furry. Its face isn't actually fatter, that's all fur.
