dumb shitposter
So much design
>>26424420
Swirlix is so cute, and its evolution is so fucking ugly.
>>26424480
Why is it Dragon type
>>26424578
Swap that around and I agree.
>>26424586
>it could be based on the yōkai called Shussebora, meaning "ascended trumpet shell", which is a trumpet shell snail that lives 1000 years in the mountains, 1000 on the plains and 1000 at sea will ascend and turn into a dragon.
tl;dr japanese shit
>>26424586
It's based on the ancient obscure french legend of Hahaha Idonnow that supposedly exists somewhere.

I saw these on bulbapedia but it doesn't sound like either beyond its a dragon (and it doesn't really look like a dragon until Goodra) and vaguely some kind of mollusc even though both of these are shelled.
>>26424630
does dratini look like a dragon? how about altaria? vibrava? mega-ampharos? noibat?
at some point you gotta figure out that they aren't using a strict western idea of dragons.
>>26424616
>trusting bulbapedia to know a single shit about mythology and folklore
I thought you knew better than that, Anon.
>>26424649
Mega Pharos looks like a dragon, dratini could be an Eastern Dragon, vibrava and Altaria I could buy very loosely... I wasnt saying it shouldnt be a dragon, but asking why it was Dragon...
>>26424630
Protip: Bulbapedia's trivia section is pure garbage, especially when it comes to what a pokémon is based on. It is not a reliable source.
>>26424649
Noibat fits the western idea of a dragon pretty damn well, dumbnuts.
>>26424674
Teeeechnically... It has more of a wyvern thing going for it, imo. Reminds me of all those wyverns in Skyrim that are erroneously referred to as dragons.

Here we go

>Here we go
don't act like he is starting this. people in this thread have been splitting hairs about what a dragon is or isn't already for a while. just accept the typings that gamefreak gives stuff and move on. they are opaque about a lot of their decisions so there is no way to get a good answer.
>>26424616
>tfw Pokemon is literally running out of ideas that it has to resort to stealing from Yokai Watch
SASUGA GAME FREAK
>>26424970
dumbass.
>>26424420
I rarely bitch about Gen 6's designs, on average it was an improvement on its predecessor.
>>26424998
that's not hard, gen 5 sucked ass
>>26424420
>shitting on pokemon designs
A reminder to get a load of this

>Secret agent rudolph
LEL COMEDY GOLD
>>26425049
He's obviously a PI
>>26424998
aren't you a special snowflake
>>26425122
AKCHUALLY a private investigator IS a secret agent since he's an agent (someone who works for someone) and they're secretive and usually hired in secret. BTFOMy bad. It's still a funny concept.
>>26424586
should be goo type
>>26425165
>>26425049
Obviously I'm not used to Merrican Youkai(s)/urban legends/culture so context please?
>>26425208
New type in sun/Moon confirmed, Slime type
>>26425214
Are these supposed to be American? Is that why there's a burger? I just thought the detective rudolph was hilarious, didn't think it was based on anything.
>>26425036
I wish the American based yokai games used Cryptids. The U.S. Has so many stupid monsters to draw inspiration from but no. Burger man and Chicken Nugget kid.

BOOGER-TYPE CONFIRMED
>>26424929
He's talking about the whole "TRUE Dragons must have six limbs (4 legs and two wings)" nerd argument, which is a whole separate family of dumb nerd arguments completely unrelated to bizarre pokemon typing.
I should really check up /tg/ again one of these days.
