>create an ice type >call it SANDshrew why is this allowed

>>32442475

Because Sandshrew is the name of the species

It's still a Sandshrew, just an Ice-type sub-species

>>32442475
because it was named many years before this was a thing. next stupid questions please.

Dude. Snow is just watery sand.

I though the same as you it had to be name icedrew and iceslash

>>32442475
Snow is just cold white sand

>>32442475
Alolans probably dont call it Sandshrew just like nips don't call long-necked animals "giraffes" but rather Kirin. Your character is from Kanto, though, so they use the Kantonese name.

Fun fact: Sandshrew's Japanese name is literally "Sand".

>Elderly people in Alola call this Pokémon by an older name—Keokeo.

>Possessing a calm demeanor, this Pokémon was revered as a deity incarnate before it was identified as a regional variant of Ninetales.

They used to have different names before people realized they were just sub-species of other Pokemon

Steelslash is better when you realize the art is actually off-model as fuck and looks much better in game

>Fleeing a volcanic eruption, it settled on a snowy mountain.
At one point, Sandshrew and Sandslash in Alola probably did live in sand before needing to adapt to a safer environment
