That is without doubt it's secondary inspiration though. The point was that it bears a very strong resemblance to real praying mantises, which you refuse to acknowledge.

Doesn't matter if your headcanon thinks it's a "secondary inspiration" if its build is clearly a fucking dinosaur. Making it a mantis would barely make it look like Scyther.

>The point was that it bears a very strong resemblance to real praying mantises
Not really. It has aspects from praying mantis but it doesn't have a strong resemblance. Its face looks nothing like a mantis and it lacks antennae. Its legs look nothing like a mantis. It has four limbs rather than two. Making it a dinosaur with mantis features is a better reinterpretation than just making it a mantis.

You have to be shitposting.
>Not really. It has aspects from praying mantis but it doesn't have a strong resemblance
It absolutely has. Everyone who know what a mantis is should recognize that Scyther is based on one right away. The face and feet are the only thing that aren't particularly mantis-like. And mind you the rest of the legs and body is clearly insectoid in structure, and many Bug-pokémon has more humanoid faces than their real life counterparts.

>Making it a mantis would barely make it look like Scyther.
>mantis features is a better reinterpretation than just making it a mantis.
Nobody has said you can't make it a mantis with dino features here but you.

>>33454898
Dont even bother with him. Shill-kun literally believes that Alveris can do no wrong and all his designs are perfect. Unironically believing realistic Pokemon should just animals with Pokemon features, instead of Pokemon with realistic features.

>>33454936
To be honest I don't actually mind Arvalis, people are free to interpret pokémon how they wish. I was just annoyed by the other anon posting nonsense like "Scyther isn't a mantis, it is Scyther" and saying any realistic portrait of Scyther using a mantis as the basis wouldn't work.

>>33454559
Most of pokémon have body structures that would never let them walk or do any meaningful motion IRL

>>33454753
"Recognizable" is not quite the same thing as "a strong resemblance." Alveris' drawing sucks, but I agree with that anon that Scyther is only superficially mantis-like.

>>33454898
>>not a mantis first and foremost
It's a Scyther first and foremost. Slowbro being a hermit crab Pokemon and having a hermit crab shell doesn't mean turning it into a hermit crab would be a good interpretation.

> Everyone who know what a mantis is should recognize that Scyther is based on one right away
based on something != looks like something. It's also based on a dinosaur.

>The face isn't particularly mantis-like
You mean the most important part of the Pokemon?

> and many Bug-pokémon has more humanoid faces than their real life counterparts
Not really. And Scyther's face is reptilian, not humanoid.

>Nobody has said you can't make it a mantis with dino features here but you.
Probably because I'm apparently the only one here who isn't a retard.

>>33454985
>"Scyther isn't a mantis, it is Scyther" and saying any realistic portrait of Scyther using a mantis as the basis wouldn't work.

All of these statements are true.

>>33454555
>turn every dragon pokemon into a appropriately giant lizard
>BUT GIRATINA who is a centipede for some reason

Why does everyone get their panties in a knot over this guy? It seems his objective is to use real world animals as a basis for Pokemon designs, which leads to some interesting and unconventional solutions. He also seems to be the only artist doing this, while most other artists who make realistic Pokemon simply just make a highly detailed/rendered version of the Pokemon.

>>33455019
>It's a Scyther first and foremost.
I don't know why you keep bringing this up. It is an inane statement. We're discussing if it draws more inspiration from a mantis or a dinosaur.
>based on something != looks like something. It's also based on a dinosaur.
True, but it clearly has strong mantis elements.
>You mean the most important part of the Pokemon?
See my next point.
>Not really. And Scyther's face is reptilian, not humanoid.
My point was that many Bug pokémon get faces that are more recognizable to us and are able to convey human emotions. Volbeat, Illumise, Burmy, Karrablast, Escavalier, Scyther, Scizor, Shuckle, Combee, Swadloon, Leavanny, Ribombee, Pheromosa, Armaldo and Dewpider all have faces that doesn't look arthropodian at all. Not to mention a shit ton of them have regular vertebrate eyes.
>Probably because I'm apparently the only one here who isn't a retard.
Now this is why you're such an massive cocksucker, because you state that any other interpretation than Arvalis' is wrong.

>>33455164
Although Alveris has some creative and neat designs, the problem people have with his designs are that they barely resemble the Pokemon their based off of. Sometimes.

>>33455222
>It is an inane statement

No it's not. It's a Scyther. It's not an animal. The best interpretation is one where it still resembles the Pokemon.

>True, but it clearly has strong mantis elements.
It clearly has strong dinosaur elements.

>Volbeat, Illumise, Burmy, Karrablast, Escavalier, Scyther, Scizor, Shuckle, Combee, Swadloon, Leavanny, Ribombee, Pheromosa, Armaldo and Dewpider
almost all of these still have insectoid features such as antennae. Scyther's face is based on reptiles. It looks absolutely nothing like an insect.

>because you state that any other interpretation than Arvalis' is wrong
Because they are wrong. Scyther's build is closer to that of a dinosaur than an insect.

Wrong, shit like Karrablast has no insectoid features in its face.

Anyway I'm done. You seem hellbent on thinking no other interpretation than Arvalis' is valid. Just so you know it this kind of mindset is why people get turned off, even if the art itself is good.

>>33455574
Come on anon, even you can see that what Mime Jr. most closely resembles is a human child, no matter what its inspiration is, yet it was made into a tadpole. The pokémon's eyes, mouth, the head in general, the arms and legs are not what they're actually supposed to be on the pokémon. This is not a case of picking the "best interpretation that still resembles the pokémon", it is a case of picking the interpretation he finds most interesting and going with it.
>It has no visible nose and it has a fucking rhinoceros beetle horn sitting on it. It's not subtle at all.
I explicitly said face, that part has no insectoid features whatsoever. But fine have a final (You).

>>33455623
what the fuck am i looking at... i can't even tell what kind of animal he used to make this nightmare-ish creature

>>33455623
>yet it was made into a tadpole

And yet it still looks like Mime Jr. He made it into a frog to emulate Mr Mime's hat and fingertips. So it still is the best possible interpretation.

>I explicitly said face
The horn is a part of its face.

>>33455590
I know that people will hate on this because Nosepass is supposed to look like a moai, but i'd love this to be an actual, real animal.

Because a statue isn't an organic living creature.

For the reason that Scyther has a reptile face, the only one that counts.

This is why arvalis's designs fail. Not every Pokemon needs to be based of an animal. Some Pokemon are robots, sculpture, and plants but that doesn't mean there not realistic. But for some reason dragons are?

>>33455787
SUCH CUTENESS

>>33455987
Proto-animals, or synapsids ruled the world during the late Permian, then got fucked up during the largest extinction known and the dinos took over afterwards.
Name comes from mammals stemming from the group, but obviously most of the members aren't direct ancestors to mammals.
Previously they were called mammal-like reptiles, but this was changed because they aren't reptiles at all.

The coolest synapsids were gorgonopsids, this is an objective fact.

not at all. Pokémon are based on animals, not actually animals

>>33456077
So are they mammals or reptiles? I feel so stupid not knowing this

>>33456144
Technically neither.
Mammals are a part of the group, but far from all synapsids are mammals.
They aren't related to reptiles at all.

Think of it this way, the things that turned into mammals, along with mammals and their closest relatives are synapsids.

They have to if he's going for realism. Pokemon are still living creatures at the end of the day. A statue or a sword having muscle and brain function is even less realistic.

No it doesn't. If a Pokemon is a clay statue, then Theres no reason to change it into an animal because clay statues exist in real life. Not all Pokemon are organic creatures, making them into animals doesn't make them realistic all of a sudden, especially if they are already based on things that are realistic like statues.

>b-but statues don't move!

and dragons don't exist. But aravils is completely ok with Dragons, but can't do with something that exists like a sword.

>>33457914
But dragons move, though

>>33457939

They can't move, because they don't exist. The entire notion that Arvalis is "realistic" is patently absurd anyway, because his interpretations can still do shit like wield psychic powers. His Mr. Mime is a "realistic" frog, sure, but it's a frog that can erect fucking mental barriers.

But they're still living creatures. So to be realistic they have to be translated into organic creatures so they can function as a living organism.

Organic=/=realistic

Doesn't mean if it's organic than its realistic. A dragon can't exist because something that big wouldn't be able to fly, it's completely unrealistic. Just like turtles waking on two legs is completely unrealistic. Next time you're at Arvalis's house, please tell him this.

>>33460179
>Organic=/=realistic

It is when we're talking about living creatures. Pokemon are living creatures. A dragon is infinitely more believable than a sword or a statue that can move itself.

Heads up, squad. Another thread has been made featuring drawings of Pokemon that are inaccurate to their canon designs. We can't let this go unpunished.

>>33460176

>>33460255
See this is wheee your argument falls apart.

Who are you to say what is and what isn't more believable? You can't say dragons are more believable than moving swords because they both don't exist. Your entire argument is now just an opinion.

Dragons and ghosts are both unrealistic and stupid. You are in no position to say which one is more believable than the other because they both don't exist.

There's no point in arguing with someone who's argument relies on an opinion.

>>33460536
>You can't say dragons are more believable than moving swords because they both don't exist.
You sure can, a dragon is just a reptile-like animal with wings, something close to what we knows as animals, while moving swords are at best a non carbon based living being and at worst a proof of the paranormal. It is far more closer to reality (and therefore, theoretic "realistic") a creature that is based on other creatures than a being that has no relation to anything we know as living in real life.

Basically if someone invited to show you a fabled creature as real living being and let you guess which one would be before showing, either an unicorn or a ghost, anyone would think unicorn first.

>>33460536
it's not a fucking opinion
pokemon based on non-living objects are already a controversial spot for the entire pokemon fanbase, as many people find them nonsensical, and quite honestly, they are. It's not a fucking opinion; creatures like dragons and dinosaurs existed, and their designs have place into the franchise.

You have been spewing your nonsense throughout this entire thread and quite honestly it's getting tiresome. No one but you thinks this way about the non-organical pokemon as shown by all the answers you have got.

>cartoon monsters mean that you need to accept a break from reality where non-living objects are actually living

You see how pokemon can't choose a proper portrayal for ghost types? How they are paranormal according to their type properties and lore, yet are able to lay eggs and make more ghosts with physical mons and other nonsense? That's because ghosts and non-living objects don't make fucking sense from a "realistic" view, that being the objective of these drawings. For fuck's sake, even the Aegislash interpretation most popular on this thread goes for a "bug is actually the one handling the sword" interpretation

Now try to justify that one of these creatures is more realistic than the other because at least ghost are just people, and you might not know this but humans actually exist..

And look up pyura chilensis, it explains why it is perfectly reasonable to have rock pokemon actually look like rocks, faggot.

>>33460785
holy shit, ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID
Dragons are a thing because people saw dinosaur fossils and reptiles and associated magical properties to them. That means they have a real life basis unlike a fucking possessed wash machine.

>you know what ghosts are, the spirit of the fucking dead
oh that explains why ghosts in pokemon are able to lay eggs, fuck with others and are corporeal against all kind of physical hits except those that have the fighting/normal property

The ghosts in pokemon and the object-based pokemons don't have a real life basis aside from giving sentience to a non-living object

>look up pyura chilensis
I'm a fucking biologist, I know that there are animals that look like non-living objects, there are shit tons of the, it's called mimetism you jackass. That some animals imitate the aspect of non-living objects doesn't magically make non-living objects acquiring life an acceptable stretch of reality, as I said before it's one of the most controversial concepts in Pokemon

Why do autistic people misunderstand "Realistic" to mean "Real"?

Are you saying a zombie can't be realistic? A dragon? The Xenomorph or any of Guillermo's creatures can't be described as "realistic"? You can't say the practical effects in The Thing look realistic?

Ironically half of this shit is literally backwards. Taking something that IS real and making it look unrealistic by painting like a Pokémon. A realistic Charizard wouldn't be a Komodo Dragon painted red. A "realistic" ghost is not a fucking purple bat. That's not even a realistic bat.

This level of autism is off the charts. The realistic excuse for "Purple bat" instead of "literal ghost" is that most of the Pokémon that are ghost type are inanimate objects being possessed? That would make them already fucking realistic

>>33460813

Explain what is realistic about psychic, invisible-wall-creating frogs.

>>33461055
the "excuse" for Gengar being a bat instead of a bundle of poison gas that somehow acquired sentience is that pokemon are supposed to be living beings that can breed and interact with the physical world, something that they would be unable to do at all if their lore was consistent with the game mechanics.
>>33461215
explain why a psychic frog is somewhat similar to a living sword when at least the frog design has a basis on reality; real frogs. I haven't seen a living sword or living wash machine. Maybe you have, I guess, considering how autistically you have been rejecting the designs presented on this thread for an entire day.

Science fiction has come up with plenty of pseudo-scientific explanations for having "ghosts". Why is the idea of a ghost explained by scientific principles somehow less realistic to you than psychic frogs creating invisible walls?

I've only posted three times in this thread, try again.

>is that pokemon are supposed to be living beings that can breed

And yet he feels the need to make Pokemon like Magneton into "realistic" levitating magnetic crabs (hah!), despite the fact that the entire Magnemite line are explicitly genderless and can't breed unless it's with Ditto (which can be "realistically" explained by Ditto just budding off a replica of the thing it's "mating" with). Your entire argument falls apart when viewed from this angle.

Are you under the assumption that all the drawing in this thread is by Arvalis? Because that couldn't be further from the truth.

At least you could argue the reality of ghosts with a scientist because there are so many sightings and such. Dragons just straight up don't exist, and literally can't even if they did.

>Pokemon are supposed to be living beings that can breed and interact with the physical world

This is the worst thing you've said all day, and is objectively false. Tons of Pokemon are based if of non living things and tons of Pokemon straight up can't breed. To say "this is what Pokemon are supposed to be" is downright ignorance, you didn't make Pokemon buddy, you can't say what they should and shouldn't be.
