Well yeah, it was inspired by a frilled lizard since that's the only animal at all with that type of frill.

Yeah, Clauncher isn't just any crab or lobster. It's specifically one of these: "Pistol shrimp," also called "snapping shrimp," are related to lobsters and crawfish but distinguished by a single humongous right claw. This claw has a mechanism in it so that it can "lock" open, then "snap"...

RE: What are some inanimate objects that you want a Pokemon based on? "PG" normally denotes movies for 8-13 year olds. Children who can handle a few more mature themes, but still squarely in the "children" category. That's also pokemon's core demographic, and I don't see why that's...

RE: What cool new Pokemon/evolution do you want to see in the 6th generation? I generally dislike eeveelutions but I'd accept a mean-looking poison type to counter the fairy. Can't we have just one Eeveelution that isn't painfully cute? Just one creepy deviant? Like a "failed" or "mutated"...

RE: What cool new Pokemon/evolution do you want to see in the 6th generation? Oh that would be AWESOME...but I won't hold my breath. It's vague enough that the stinger resemblance could be accidental. Fingers crossed I guess...I hope its final evolution is scarier, in any case. I'd love that...

RE: What are some inanimate objects that you want a Pokemon based on? Having body parts based on objects isn't the same as the pokemon itself being based on that object.

RE: Your hopes for 6th generation? Pokemon have always included inanimate objects, and people who "aren't okay" with that are being ridiculous. Inanimate object monsters are even deeply important to Japanese mythology, where they are known as Tsukumogami, and many object pokemon are based...

RE: What cool new Pokemon/evolution do you want to see in the 6th generation? Don't see how it's any scarier than your typical ghost, dark or poison pokemon :p Also we already have a Chinese giant panda and Australian frilled-neck lizard confirmed for Gen 6.

I feel as though it's rather likely they'll eventually remake red/blue yet again, in the brand new style with all those brand new features.

RE: What cool new Pokemon/evolution do you want to see in the 6th generation? ...wasn't a general thread made last night for discussion of newly revealed pokemon? Where the heck did that go? This one was always just speculation. I guess my dumb doodle is more appropriate here anyway, though...

RE: What are some inanimate objects that you want a Pokemon based on? You completely misunderstand. When I call something childish I'm praising it. Childish is not the same as "immature." Childish means imaginative, lighthearted, fun, heartfelt, innocent, everything good and wonderful in...

The official release information only refers to Noivern as a bat :p It's a giant bat named after a Wyvern because it's somewhat dragon-like, in the sense that it is a big, powerful and scary thing with leathery wings. A draconic bat. I'm so glad that dragon has a new weakness and poison a new...

With its art, typing and description revealed, Skrelp is instantly one of my new favorite pokemon. I love the whole concept of a killer toxic seahorse imitating nasty, rotten seaweed, and those eyes are awesome! I still think it looks reminiscent of a vampire squid, and I wonder if its evolution...

How could anyone possibly hate stunfisk or jynx?

The seahorse really does look it has the head of a vampire squid, the more I look at it.

I'm not saying it isn't also a dragon, I'm just saying that it's very bluntly also a bat. It's a bat-dragon. :p

Um, what? It is literally a bat. That is a drawing of a bat. It has a bat body, bat wings, bat head, bat nose and bat ears. It has mammalian fur, eats fruit and has a "noise" theme with the ears stylized into sonar dishes. There cannot possibly be a more bat-based pokemon. "Wyvern" is a...

I hope that spooky seahorse is actually a poison type. Its head is almost exactly that of a cartoon squid, it just has a seahorse body where you would expect tentacles. I could definitely see it having a squid evolution like Remoraid into Octillery. Maybe even a direct shout-out, since it also...

That is without a doubt a SNAPPING SHRIMP pokemon. I'm excited. I always thought they'd be perfect for the game. In the real world, a snapping shrimp uses its single larger claw to generate a tiny bubble that bursts with such intense speed it creates a paralyzing shockwave. It can kill other...

RE: What cool new Pokemon/evolution do you want to see in the 6th generation? Your Japanese(English) format for pokemon names honestly makes that post kind of a pain on the eyes. Being an English-speaking forum, the Japanese names really aren't necessary :p An evolution for Shuckle would just...
