Clauncher has nothing in common with Destroyah other than being a "crustacean," though Destroyah's design is primarily a reptile anyway.

RE: What cool new Pokemon/evolution do you want to see in the 6th generation? If not a split Trapinch, then at least a new bug type pokemon based on an Antlion larva. I appreciate that the Trapinch line represents the complete antlion life cycle, but their larvae are just too famous and too...

Why are you so fixated on the idea that Noivern is "mainly" or "primarily" a dragon or wyvern? We've been over this. Those phrases don't mean anything. A "dragon" or "wyvern" isn't a very specific thing to begin with. They are just broad categories of scary, powerful, flying monster. A dragon...

RE: What Gen 1-5 Pokemon do you want to see in X/Y? I really wish they'd pack a lot more wild pokemon into each game than usual....in the real world you don't just have one type of butterfly or moth in a whole forest. They should put at least 1/4 of existing pokemon somewhere in the wild, even...

RE: What Gen 1-5 Pokemon do you want to see in X/Y? I waited fifteen+ years for them to come out with Pokemon that were literally garbage, while the rest of you got dragons, cats, foxes and monkeys out the wazoo. Monsters made of garbage have always been one of my absolute favorite archetypes...

RE: Trainer Customization - What Items do you want to see? Are clothing items confirmed? It seems like there's only a couple very simple options from what I've seen. I'd want to see masks and helmets. Especially a gas mask, since my in-game teams always include Garbodor, Weezing, Muk and Gloom.

RE: What cool new Pokemon/evolution do you want to see in the 6th generation? As a matter of fact, none of the electric type pokemon are based on animals actually associated with electricity. Eelektross isn't actually an electric eel, but a lamprey. Stunfisk is mostly a flounder, with only...

RE: Pokemon Tattoos anyone? Sorry, I had deleted my post before I saw your response. I didn't mean to sound like a jerk, I really thought I was saying something universal at the time. Forums I'm familiar with usually make it warnable or bannable to enter a thread or subforum and just post that...

Yeah, while I wouldn't put it past them to suddenly spring a manticore, the tail looks as much like any stylized "tuft" or a little flame as it does a stylized "sting." Because, like I said, fairies in general have always had flower relation, especially little fairies clinging to and living in...

RE: Pokemon Tattoos anyone? Here's the thing though, TPC: Your negative opinion actually has positively zero value here. Imagine someone signing up on this very forum exclusively to let people know that they do not in any way like pokemon and don't get why anybody would, but they really felt...

RE: What cool new Pokemon/evolution do you want to see in the 6th generation? I like Hyenas being dark types; their image as "disgusting" and "bad" animals is unfair, yes, but they are still pretty brutal pack-hunters which is what the Dark type is partially about. Hyaena hyaena also totally...

I don't think there's any similarity between Flabebe and an Alraune...totally ordinary, traditional "fairies" have long been associated with flowers, said to live in them, create them and/or protect them. I think that's all they're reference, and just that it's a cute concept. The word...

RE: What are some inanimate objects that you want a Pokemon based on? A friend of mine drew goofy poison-type dust bunnies that I really loved: http://le-the-creator.deviantart.com/art/Lumpy-Lagomorphs-206934060 It was only hypothetical musing on how they could make a gimmicky "art" pokemon...

It's a fat reptile though, a stubby snake :) A lot of people interpreted it as a maggot when it was first revealed. I wish we had a maggot...

Karrablast is a Carabid beetle, species of which prey exclusively upon snails and dig them out of their shells with their specially shaped heads. Nothing in common with ticks, which are large parasitic mites (arachnids) :D

RE: What are some inanimate objects that you want a Pokemon based on? Games already existed back on gamecube that allowed you to draw a simple shape and then turn it into a simple 3-d model. It's pretty simple to do honestly, I just cant' imagine them ever doing it for censorship reasons.

No, Luna has a very valid point there. A single pokemon generation never repeats specific animals unless they're related in some way, either by evolution or as part of a series like an elemental trio, version counterparts and so forth. The closest thing to an exception has been when Gen 5 gave...

Water types, though, do already include a fish evolving into an octopus and a clam evolving into eels, which is another reason people suspect a squid. Inkay and Malimar do sound more like squid, though, the latter probably being named for Calimari.

RE: What are some inanimate objects that you want a Pokemon based on? Now that they've gone 3-d it'd be easier than ever to let players draw their own pokemon and translate it into a model. Unfortunately every time a game lets people do this, millions immediately draw inappropriate things.

That's exactly what I already said. I'm not sure why you think I'm disagreeing with you? However... If you mean this literally, no, they did not use a real frilled lizard. The dilophosaur in the film was entirely an animatronic puppet. It didn't look or act like a frilled lizard in any real...
