(1) New Tree-like Pokemon Before Genesect Film [7/13]

[Drohn]

A tree being part Ground-type makes a lot of sense to me, since they are (in the real world) rooted in the ground.

Plus, in Pokémon logic, trees can be Rock-types, so the Grass/Ground-type isn't that strange.

Edit: I know this tree can walk, but it doesn't mean that it can't take root itself in. A lot Ground-type Pokémon don't live underground.

Sudowoodo is not a tree, it just mimics a tree

Sudowoodo is not a tree, it just mimics a tree

That's true. I meant the design, though. I should have made that more clear.

My guess here would definitely be Grass/Dark, based on the description. But Grass/Ground would also make sense to me.

The point being that Torterra is not rooted or stuck in the ground, and yet it is a Ground-type. Even so, Torterra is based on a very special kind of turtle - the kind that holds up the world.

(This is found in many mythos, not just East Asian ones.)

You know the Yugioh card "Island Turtle"? Yep.

you brought up torterra, but torterra also has mud, and 3 mountains on it

this is just a walking tree. nothing else but a walking tree

nothing to do with ground
and sudowoodo is based on petrified wood. it is not a tree, it is a fossil. a rock. a tree died long ago and had its parts mineralized so now it is a rock.

oorotto is just a tree

Come on guys, it's clearly Dragon/Fairy.

I'm surprised there's nothing about the Pikachu and Eevee Friends short. Wasn't that supposed to open this movie?

THIS. Why can't I find a thread about it???

 

[Jakeremix]

No, it's entirely possible... I mean, you haven't even seen the real thing, so how could you be judging what types sound more possible than others?

How could a WALKING tree be ground type? It seems to be based of a walking tree, something that is the opposite of stuck in the ground, like normal trees.

So you're saying that pokemon must be stuck in the ground in order for them to be considered ground-type...?

No I'm just saying that the only thing it could have to relate to ground type would be that trees are stuck in the ground, but it's not even that.

Why would it be ground-type btw?

It... it's a tree...

It doesn't matter if it's in the ground or not. It's a flipping tree!

If it's a tree it would be grass. Heck if we are using that logic, pancham should be Asian type. How would a tree be ground anyway. It doesn't make sense.

If you can't see how a tree should be ground then... I just can't...

Plus, I never said it couldn't be grass as well, but it also doesn't HAVE to be. The Sandile family isn't water and Hydreigon isn't flying (these are the first examples to come to mind for me).

 

[GlaceonFanatic]

I don't know if this has been mentioned but I feel like this tree pokemon will use it's spider‐like legs to root itself into the ground or something. Then when people come by it, it mimics a normal tree like a sudowoodo. And then maybe if the person gets too close to it, Oorotto will scare the person off or something lol. Just my opinion though.

Can you give me a reason as to why it should be ground? You can't say because its roots are in the ground or that they grow from the ground cause this pokemon has its roots pulled up and walks around on them like a spider.

 

[DNA]

Bellsprout and Oddish have roots and they're Grass/Poison.
Shiftry is very tree-like and it's Grass/Dark.
There are other Pokemon that are examples of the above too.
Ingrain, the one Pokemon move that actually involves planting roots, is Grass-type, and most of the Pokemon learning it are Grass-type too.

State your Ground-type logic or forever hold your peace.

 

[GlaceonFanatic]

I wasn't the one saying that its going to be part ground type lol. I was just giving my own thoughts on to how the pokemon will maybe act. Like most of the other people though I think it's going to be grass/ghost.

 

[zappy80]

Oh my gosh, forget it. Its not like he was saying it is ground. Plus, GF will do whatever they want so for all we know it is ice/water.

Ok those examples are not good examples
The sandile are sand crocodiles. they swim through sand. sand=ground

Hydreigon is a hydra that likes to destroy things. hydra=dragon destruction=dark

Oorotto is a tree tree= grass

If something is ground it needs a ground element

Torterra is a grass/ground because it's a landscape. its the whole earth, including the tree= grass and the earth/mountain=ground

Execgutor is a tree and it is grass psychic

Grass is not ground

There is nothing on oorotto that has anything to do with ground

 

[Their Goominess]

my views on what types Oorotto will be (in order of fave to least fave)
Grass/Ghost - this seems to be one of the favorites, and a possessed tree is certainly a good candidate for such a type
Grass/Dark - this again looks like a fan fave, but theres one thing - if Chespin does end up Grass/Dark, I have an inkling this typing won't happen (I think GF like starters to have exclusive typing in the regions, with the exception of Swampert iirc. a good example is Darmanitan, it could easy be Fire/Fighting but Emboar is fire/fight so the typing is kept for king piggy)
Grass/Ground - I can kinda see this, but I think it's the least likely type out of these 3.
