Favorite Crustacean thread
>>26712537
Bivalves aren't crustaceans, they're mollusks.
>>26712604
but you ignored venipede?
>>26712622
Whirlipede is based on a pill-bug, which are indeed crustaceans :)

Thats a cephalopod

>>26712657
You don't know shit about crustaceans.
>>26712661
Molusca.

READ THIS.
I dont care how underage you are, you learn this shit in basic biology and science class and you people should know what's a crustacean and what's a mollusk.

Helixfag BTFO, true Crustacean here
>>26712463
Crawdaunt was always my favorite, can't believe I didn't realise sooner that it and Sharpedo share designs as if it were trying to imitate a Sharpedo.The star on their head, the sunken eyes, and the large tan area on Crawdaunt looks like an open mouth. Not to forget they're both Water/Dark and Crawdaunt has Adaptability.
>>26712463
Am I a mollusca OP?
>>26712821
Hermit crabs aren't mollusks. They're awesome, though.
>>26712821
No, you are crustacean
>>26712706
Is kabuto a trilobite or a horseshoe crab, though? Because I'm pretty sure trilobites weren't crustaceans.
>>26712622
>venipede
You clearly haven't caught them all. gtfo my board.
>>26712537
>>26712657
Mollusks REEEEEE
>>26712872
They're trilobites. Based on the legs and the lack of tail they are trilobites.
The best
>>26712867
B-but I am a mollusca, r-right?
>>26712937
>>26712976
Barnacles are crustaceans
>>26713001
Yeah, a Crustacean like me.
>>26713012

See where it says crustacean?
Paras is part fungus and part some kind of bug. Bulbapedia says cicada nymph but I think the point is that it's not a crustacean.
>>26712914
Then they can gtfo of this thread, I guess.
>>26713064
Bulbapedia's trivia section is full of shit though, and you know it.
>>26712463
>Bitches dont know about my tank Clawitzer build
I need more Clawitzer and Clauncher art.
>>26713078
I know that, hence the point that it's not a crustacean.
>>26713090
Looks kinda like a coconut crab to me. And that mouth look like a crab's, too.
>inb4 "it's bug type so it's an insect"
What is dwebble?
Pic related is best Crustacean
>>26713123
Now you're just doing it on purpose.
>>26713111
Dwebble is a hermit crab, ergo a crustacean.
>>26713133
Of course they are. They're shitposters.
>>26713191
Exactly. So what's keeping paras from being a crustacean? It even has claws.
Does Anorith count? Ancestor of all arthropod-based Pokemon.
>>26713220
It is of course a Crustacean.
>>26713220
Not really.
>>26713210
Claws doesn't make something a crustacean. Crustaceans are segmented with carapaces, have two segments while insects have 3, 6-14 pairs of these limbs, most crustaceans lack antennae though those that have antennae have two pairs, and crustaceans are largely an aquatic-based subphylum with those non-aquatic species being largely dependent on moisture and living in moist environments.
Paras is part fungus and is thus not even a true fucking insect. It's not a crustacean.
>>26713220
Tough call, but I'm inclined to say that for the sake of pokemon they could be crustacean pokemon, but their real life basis is not a crustacean.
>>26713292
>if an animal has a fungal parasite, it's no longer an animal
This is an odd claim, even for you.
>>26713292
Krabby and Kingler have six pairs of limbs, so I guess they're not crustaceans.
>>26713351
>six pairs of limbs
>6-16 pairs of these limbs
Are you just trolling me or are you really this stupid?
>>26713331
Paras is part parasite, that's the whole point of the parasite it's based on.
>>26713379
>Paras is part parasite
I think you're missing the whole point of a parasite completely, buddy.
This spider crab has polyps living on its shell. It's thus clearly not a crustacean. Great logic.
This is pointless. You deserve no (you)'s.
Can we go back to having fun, like before
>>26713292
>>26713379
>>26713445
tried his best to shit things up?
>>26713084
Fuck yeah!
Clawitzer is my favorite from X/Y it was the first Pokemon that I EV trained. It was my main poke in the elite four and the first one that I got to level 100.
>>26713064
15th word
>>26713481
Don't feed that troll.
>>26713491
>troll
>arguing about what is a crustacean makes him a troll
No, that person is a hothead or autistic, but hardly what I'd call a troll.
>>26712857
it's not a hermit crab, it's a bug, thats why it's part-bug. a bug underneath a rock
>>26713495
Or maybe he's just simply an idiot, who knows.
>>26713572
What kind of bug is it based on?
>>26713495
>debate makes you autistic
yeah lets go back to talking about what our favorite crabs are, that is so much more of an interesting discussion
>>26713572
Sure, honey. And Stunfisk is not a fish, because it's not Water type.
>>26713586
it's obviously based on a hermit crab, but it's not one, because it's part bug
>>26713594
>still mad
Really?
>>26713609
This makes very little sense, but whatever. You're free to believe whatever makes you happy.
>>26713601
electric and ground aren't types of animals, unlike bug. it says right there in dwebble's typing, bug. that means it is a bug
>>26713617
Did you eat paint chips when you were a kid?
>>26713617
(you)
Crabs are cool.
>>26713641
it's a bug, all bug-types are bugs by definition. something is either a bug or a crustacean, they can't be both, so dwebble is not a crustacean.
>>26713675
You're that "animals with parasites are not animals" kid from before, aren't ya?
>>26713696
it's only half-animal
>>26713732
And if it's half animal, it's not animal at all? Weird logic. I guess staryu isn't a starfish, because it's half gemstone.
objectively the best
>>26714254
>>26714261
>>26712749
Cool theory, but I always thought Crawdaunt was supposed to 'go with' Cacturne since both are ___/Dark, while Sharpedo and Camerupt are the main Pokèmon used by Team Aqua and Magma and both got a Mega Evolution.
>not posting them
>>26714346
Oh boy, you're gonna trigger that one asshole.
As a Marine Biology fag, I fucking love you people and this thread.
Favorite Crustacean Pokemon would have to be Clawitzer, as Pistol Shrimp are my favorite crustaceans. Not a huge fan of Clauncher, though. Dwebble is a close second.
We should also talk about Crustaceans that need Pokemon counterparts, I'll start:
Arrow crab, spider crab, Pom Pom Crabs, and Mantis Shrimp.
>>26713617
>Drapion
>>26714373
I'm not the same asshole, but this still triggers me
>>26714934
What's your opinion on fungal parasites instantly turning animals into non-animals?
>>26713292
>Applying biology to cartoon animals
>>26713675
Great to know that Hymenopteran-based Pokémon are actually Hemipterans.
>>26712706
Objectively the worst fossil
The whole cool, attractive point behind Horseshoe crabs is that they're LIVING fossils. They're ancient and outdated yet they still persist today. Kabuto requiring a fossil is the equivalent nonsense of making Relicanth need a fossil.
>>26715447
It is a Trilobite
Like Zanbronze
Clauncher, but I love literally all of them.
>>26712622
Venipede is based on a woodlouse. Woodlice are crustaceans.
>>26715447
It's a trilobite, though.
>>26715553
It isn't a centipede, which is a myriapod?
>>26715643
It's s little bit centipede, a little bit pill bug.
>>26715788
Why is is a bug-type instead of a water type?
>>26715838
Not all arthropodes live in the water.
>>26715317
Unpopular opinion apparently, but I think you could get away with calling Paras a crab that is acting as a host to a parasitic mushroom.
If you look at it in real life terms:
When a Coryceps fungus infects an ant, it is still an ant with a fungus. However the fungus eventually takes over the entire organism and it is a fungus living on the carcas of a dead ant, and therefore no longer a living insect.
See pic.
Because of this I've always considered Paras a terrestrial crab with a parasitic fungus and Parasect a parasitic fungus controlling the corpse of a terrestrial crab.
>>26715868
So it should be a Bug/Fungi type that evolves into a Ghost/Fungi type.
>>26715838
Because it doesn't live in the water.
>>26715868
Same here, that thing has too many crab traits to register as an insect in my head.
>>26715882
Now you're just getting silly.
>>26715882
Crab/Fungi
Fungi/Ghost
>>26715896
Does that mean a Coconut Crab would be a normal-type?
>>26715838
Same reason Dwebble/Crustle is.
They're based on terrestrial crustaceans or arthropods.Because Dwebble/Crustle are terrestrial hermit crabs.
>>26715945
Then Taurus should be Cattle type, Pikachu should be Rodent/Electric etc. This gets out of hand quickly.
>>26715969
You you niggas is just mammal class.
>>26715955
Nah, they'd probably give it a bug type because it's an animal with an exoskeleton that lives on land. Or slap some other type on it, like making it breathe fire or something.
>>26715985
>Coconut crab
>Not a grass type
>
>>26715992
It isn't a coconut though.
>>26715992
That would be an interesting take on it, too.
>>26715997
This joke is wearing thin.
>>26714934
Mantis shrimp would be the GOATest Pokemon.
>>26715955
It would be either
Bug/Grass
Gras/Water
Or maybe Bug/Water
>>26716835
I just realized I was thinking of a combo of a Coconut Crab and Hermit Crab with a coconut shell.
>>26713084
I love Clauncher and Clawitzer.
This is a good thread. Kingler and Clawitzer are so fucking under-appreciated.
Pic related
>>26719410
What are you talking about? Crawdaunt is where it's at.
>>26719495
Make no mistake, I fucking love Crawdaunt, but Crawdaunt gets way way way more appreciation than Kingler and Clawitzer do.
I don't disappreciate the Crawdaunt in the thread so much as I appreciate the representation of the less represented.
Corpish
Krabby
