XY Evolution ideas for what we've seen so far?

[TokenDuelist]

I don't think you even looked at my post at all. I was merely saying that it is indeed a wyvern meant to look innocently like a fruit bat.
It's name even sets this in stone.

I am not shooting down their idea. I think a cute baby bat/wyvern mix would still be cute for a lower form. There are no official sources that say it's a bat, ontop of that, it's name implies Wyvern. It also attacks prey, not just fruit. It is not a herbivore, it's a carnivore.

They said it resembles a bat in the developer round table at E3.

"Noivern is extremely combative toward anything that wanders too close to it. It flies through even the darkest nights using ultrasonic waves it emits from its ears. This Pokémon loves fruit, and feeding it fruit will keep it calm."

^From Pokemon website.

That says nothing about attacking prey. Where did you get that? (I mean really where did you get that? That's not a rhetorical question, I honestly want more info.) It only talks about defending territory. Also for the record if it eats both meat and plants it's an omnivore. Now as for evidence it's based on a fruit bat. Echo location(even though most fruit bats don't use it), it eats fruit, it looks like a bat(Including an official statement that it looks like a bat). Evidence it's based on a wyvern, its name, its type, its body shape.

I doubt it's based on any Lindworm's since nothing about it's description implies that.

Misinterpreted the combative thing as prey.

Also they did say it looked like a bat, but it is a Wyvern in all of it's name meanings. Most bat Pokemon would have bat in their name. It's design is also more Wyvern than bat. It is a Wyvern that looks like a bat, not a bat that looks like a wyvern.

Let's just end this and say that the inspiration for Noivern was taken from both fruit bats and wyverns and be done with it.

Agreed.

Guys and gals, I would love Clauncher's final form to look like this:

Spoiler

I may have just given some of you nightmares but since Clauncher is a crustacean and that thing is a mutated prehistoric crustacean . . .

I am actually surprised that he has not had a pokemon based on him yet.

 

[Chocolate Death]

Please stop posting that huge as heck Destoroyah picture everywhere without using the spoiler.

 

[Bogleech]

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

Sorry, but I think Clauncher should eventually turn into something like that or have another pokemon based on it.

Crawdaunt would make for a good candidate, he learns dragon dance after all and I could totally see him getting an evo like this. I need another kaiju for my volcarona and tyranitar anyways.

You have Aerodactyl who you can use as Rodan, Hydreigon as King Ghidorah, Volcarona as Mothra, Nidoking as Baragon, and Tyrannitar as Godzilla but most of those are technically not based on Godzilla kaiju you can still make a pretty good comparison between them. Although Crawdaunt should get an evolution, come to think about it Crawdaunt does kind of resemble this:

Spoiler

Just not completely, though it would still be fun to have Crawdaunt evolve into something similar but still, Clauncher could easily go from shrimp to oversized mantis shrimp to mutated prehistoric shrimp/crab monster if Gamefreak wants it to.

Also Hippowdon needs an evolution that is just a few feet taller than it but weighs in at 9,900 pounds (The heaviest recorded hippo in real life by the way). Either that or we need a new hippo that weighs closer to the actual weight of a real hippo. Sorry, getting off topic with my mind on a ramble here. Fletchling better go from tiny bird to falcon to badass hawk (I.E. what Talonflame is and it would get faster although the falcon should technically be after the hawk when you consider that part due to the falcon being the fastest animal in the world [seriously look up the Peregrine falcon's diving speed]. Actually makes me wonder what they will do with Fletchling.

Aerodactyl IS partially based off of the classic Rodan from it's 2 horns, but it's still got the long tail and lack of spiky belly. Oh, and I don't see how Crawdaunt resembles Destoroyah's juvenile form. Oh, wait, now I do.

I don't wanna contribute too much to this weird Pokemon-based-on kaiju tangent the thread's gone on, but... There are only two Pokemon that I would say are based on specific kaiju, and those are Tyranitar and Nidoking (and Queen by extension I suppose). The rest are only kinda-sortas that are more likely just based on the same stuff that the kaiju that sort of look like them are based on.
For example, Aerodactyl and Rodan are both just stylized pterosaurs. Clauncher's not gonna become Destroyah.

The only recent 3 i know for a fact are, are Aggron (based off of a Korean Kaijuu), Hydreigon (Japanese name is named after a Kaijuu), Volcarona (has similar patterns on it's wings to Mothra, and the flaming mothra thing started from an accident on set)

 

[TokenDuelist]

Everyone is talking about all these Kaiju Pokemon and the creation trio which are sitting in the loner corner because no one is mentioning the fact that they flat out have Kaiju sounds of legitimate kaiju beasts.

But they're not based off of Kaiju.
Wait, why are we talking about pokemon that need to be kaiju instead of evolutions of pokemon?

I was thinking the same thing. Let's get back on topic, shall we?
I'm very interested to see what Skrelp evolves into.
I just hope it's not something gimmicky, or lame.
It would be really interesting if it turned into something badass, with the Poison/Dragon type.
Tho I doubt that it would lose its Water secondary type. So this is probably a long shot to wish for.

Skorupi and a few others have switched a type that makes a lot of sense for the line for one that just makes the evolution cooler

 

[TokenDuelist]

I'm still rather interested in what kind of Shrimp Clauncher will evolve into. I just don't see it evolving into some kind of lobster or whatever.
Perhaps a Mantis Shrimp mixed with Pistol Shrimp. That would be pretty cool.

 

[Chocolate Death]

I still say it should be swords VS pistols and rifles.
Oh, and I realized Noivern isn't the first wyvern Pokemon. Aerodactyl was the first, as it's body strongly resembles a Wyvern, which has it's arms being wings, like a pterosaur. Then came Lugia, sort of... Lugia's body resembles wyverns a bit more than Aerodactyl, as far as neck and tail size, as well as body size, go. Garchomp is a wyvern with a shark look, which is why i can "fly" through the air and has fins on it's arms it uses as wings. The land shark able to fly thing would have made no sense unless it was part wyvern, explaining it's non-water typing. Reshiram and White Kyurem are the last 2 wyvern pokemon in the released games.
If you are going to comment saying i forgot Gligar, Gliscor, Giratina altered form, and Archeops, it's because they're not Wyverns. Gligar has skin flaps on its arms, more like a flying squirrel. Gliscor has a cape-like set of wings. Giratina altered form has wings made of darkness thatcan shape to resemble hands. And Archeops is purely based off of a large archeopteryx and the "raptors look like birds" thing (can't call it a theory since there have been raptor fossils found with feather marks where people say it had feathers).

Eh, I would not say that Aerodactyl was a Wyvern, it is more of a Pterosaur in a way. Also I would love Clauncher to also look a bit like a machine gun on its final evolution (face it we already have a pistol (remoraid) and artillery (Octillery), so why not a Heavy Machine Gun shrimp?

Oh really?

Spoiler

I'm still saying it's more wyvern in the combo.

As for the clauncher evolution, who says we cannot have more weapon pokemon? We already have 3 cannon/tank pokemon (4 or 5 if you count the dark dragons of Unova), and plenty of other pokemon that are part some object.
Besides, pistols and rifles vs swords = pirates.
