Not even. Luvdisc/Alomomola had a really similar body shape. xD
In any case, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Noivern. Probably going to be my favorite from XY.
If somehow our fearless leader manages to get into the roundtable, Can he ask the following questions:
1: Will the final form of Fenniken be Fire/Psy?
2: Will we see a location Based of Fort Boyard in the game?
3: Will we see an electric type pokemon based on a cheetah?

I just noticed the transparency on the seahorse thing's fin. I just think that's really cool. I wonder if it will affect other Pokemon that have semi-transparent parts.
Pokèbass said:I'm calling it now: Noivern is related to Swoobat
ive been wondering when someone else will mention this. It was the first thing that shot through my mind when I saw it in the nintendo driect!
Unfortunately that was crushed compeltely when I refreshed the official site and saw it say "Flying/Dragon"
But anyhow
-theyre bats
-its ears look like an evolution of swoobats sound system (altho bats are known for this)
-its fluffy around the neck
-swoobat was much weaker than GOLBAT yet it didnt evolve further
but the points against it are too solid:
-lost its love theme?? for being a badass dragon bat suddenly..
-not just psychic switched for dragon, but its Flying type changed places from secondary to primary? makes absolutely no sense
-they wouldn't be like "emeregewd new totally unrelated Pokémon"
so as much as I was hoping for a Swoobat evo, this won't turn out to be one.
I wouldnt be surprised if this was supposed to be a swoobat evo in some initial design tho.
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 generic term for a dragon. A wyvern has no particular look or style other than being a winged monster.
Altaria is a dragon type but its design and concept are taken from a bluebird. Flygon is an antlion. Garchomp is patterned after a shark. Kingdra is a seahorse.
Saying "it's a wyvern, not a bat" is a meaningless nonsense statement.

This, coming from the guy with an article on his web page describing how dragons used to have weird attributes, including some that were rat-like.
This also coming from the guy who says "It's based on a [insert animal here], not [insert other animal here]" about plenty of Pokemon. Chill out
Wyverns DO have a particular look assigned to them now, by the way. It's still not an extremely specific design, but it's understood to mean a dragon with one set of wings and one set of legs. A barbed tail and loud screeching are common additional attributes.
Ooh, I love this other stuff. The (assumed) Fletchling evo is a little awkward, but middle evolutions usually are, if that's what it is.
