ITT: We post the correct inspirations for the new Pokémon
Cutiefly is not a mosquito, it's a bee fly.
>>26911436
C-CUTE
>>26911436
Daw
>>26911436
We already have more gen VII bug pokemon than gen VI
>>26911436
>>26911362
ITS FUCKING COOTIE
>>26911436
>literally my mother's Pokemon
>>26911465
..that's entirely strange to think about.
>>26911436
what are those? i need info :o
>>26911436
>yfw we finally have a common fly pokemon
>>26911436
There's no reason it can't be both.
>>26911436
Drampa?
Maybe those "sleeves" are meant to represent waves crashing against the bow?
>>26911465
hawaii tropical climate perfect place for bugs so yeah.
>>26911436
Omg, cutiefly indeed. I'm loving this one now
>>26911504
>>26911506
it literally says right in the OP that it's a bee fly
>>26911436
>>26911521
Here's Drampa's inspiration
>>26911436
Cutest revealed mon
Drampa, a viking ghost ship
>>26911465
>Gen V all over again
Is it time for Mega Volcarona
>>26911551
The question is, why it has angel like wings?
You'll never guess
>>26911436
Drampa
>>26911556
I agree with this anon
>>26911521
I would snug this bug
Drampa's goofy mustache, long neck and angry stance definitely remind me of the Jabberwocky
also >>26911576
GET SQUISHED
>>26911521
I think you nailed it.
>>26911542
The pokemon is straight up the same thing
>>26911635
It'd be funny if they didn't know these bugs existed when designing the Pokemon.
>>26911436
>>26911586
Why can't these things be the size of cats? I'd own 10.
>>26911586
>>26911678
I'm pretty sure these are just the 'babies'. When they mature they look gross.
>>26911703
Anon please, there are worse looking bugs out there in the wild, mature bee flies aren't THAT badOnly scrubs evolve their pets, anyway
>>26911465
http://nautil.us/blog/why-is-hawaii-evolving-so-many-species-of-this-wingless-beetle
Here for my /lit/ bros.
>>26911516
But that's pretty much exactly the pokemon there.
>>26911703
>larvae
>has wings and well defined legs
pick one
>>26911913
google 'grasshopper nymph'
>>26911990
you're still dumb, this is a specific genus of fly. the maggots are in fact maggots.
Still waiting on that nightmarcher
>>26913583
What.... That's not the right book.
>>26911519
or this
Charjabug is probably a generator
>>26914332
More like a bus
>>26914307
It's the first one mate why would it be this completely different fish
>>26914332
>>26914382
You're all idiots. Charjabug is a stun gun.
The spikes in the front, electric typing, and boxy shape give it away. Expect one of its moves to be Thunder Wa- oh wait, almost every electric type gets that.
>>26911703
This isn't how bugs work, I'd be very surprised if these flies went through metamorphosis to look just the same but less cute or their maturation was like mammals (from rounded, flat big features to protruding, angular and small features).
Vikavolt = electricians pliers
>>26914332
This is genius.
>>26914449
Its japanese name is Denjimushi which I think means something along the lines of "Train Bug".
>>26914470
IT'S A RAILGUN
>>26914449
I can see this too. It's not like they ever say what shit's based off of so its just opinions.
omg this generation is fucking amazing. only design I'm not fully convinced of is Popplio, and that might turn into something really epic still
those designs are fucking amazing and vibrant
with character
>>26914449
>>26914332
>>26914382
it's a D battery you shits
>>26914478
"Denji" means electromagnetic
>>26911542
>those spread legs
L-lewd!
>>26911553
Considering Alola is based on Hawaii, which is full of volcanos. If we don't get it now. It won't come at all.
>>26914750
Ah, ok. My mistake.
>>26914394
no, its this
>>26914449
Cant' see this, it's a bus
>inb4 GF pulls out a Diggersby
>>26914470
>>26914479
its both
>>26916218
Whoa man, are you suggesting a thing can have multiple inspirations, and design elements incorporated?
>>26911506
Can you read?
>>26914478
That's "Densha"
>>26911548
>>26916693
A bee fly is still a fly
>>26911553
If we don't get megas for Volcarona and Bellossom, the volcano and hula pokemon, I will lose faith in GF forever.
>>26914479
>>26917696
how exactly is Volcarona the volcano pokemon besides it's name?
>>26911521
>mfw the shiny is red
>>26917696
Macargo or Camperupt is wayyyy more volcano-y
Mega Bellossom would be cool
>>26914394
It does have that weird thing on its head.
>>26911990
Flies are holometabolous you fucking imbecile.
obviously this was the inspiration for drampa
>>26918192
It actually lives and breeds in Volcanos. Read the fucking dex
please
>>26918567
Why are fish so ugly?
>>26911521
>tfw drampa will likely be the HM slave
He'll learn most of the +}HM moves, calling it now.
Surf is now guaranteed.
>>26918547
>dex
>canon
>implying
>>26919299
>being this stupid
Drampa is obviously a grandpa
>>26918584
they're trying their best.
>>26918348
Hey buddy, I got some news for you: pic related.
Also, you really think only one or two Pokemon can be based on something as basic as a volcano? Magcargo is magma, not even a volcano, to boot. Typhlosion is an actual volcano Pokemon, hence it learning Eruption.
Drampa is a (very fluff and old) Chinese Dragon.
>>26914750
Actually, "denchi" means battery, and the vocalization of the last syllable gets rendaku'd because of mushi. Its name means battery-bug.
>>26920080
And I hope the localization team calls it
Batterug or even Batteruga from Spanish Oruga
Drampa = DRAgon graMPA
i know that grandpa doesn't have an M in it, but the japanese don't know that
>>26920214
And Dunsparce has ”子” (child) in its japanese name. Not sure if that's too much of a stretch, but they might be related after all.
>>26918541
I fucking hated that guy's voice, now drampa is ruined
Actual inspiration for drampa
>>26920080
That's not how rendaku works.
>>26920411
What would be wrong with denchi getting rendaku?
>>26911542
>>26911436
Cutiefly is my friend!
>>26914479
>Railgun
>Rail
>>26914449
>Train
It all makes sense.
Pika clones inspiration maybe?
The Ryukyu spiny rat
>>26920771
It's just a hedgehog
>>26920364
>>26920925
Fish. Not even once.
>>26911599
Jabberwocky is Flygon.
>>26920904
Oh
Well that's kind of boring. I thought it might be the rat because it's more common in japan
>>26920994
This is a Hawaiian region. Not that that matters for everything, but neither does the japan thing these days.
>>26920990
how so?
>>26921146
It's not, he just has to interject flygon into everything
>>26918567
>That nose
>Those lips
>That stubble
If this were put in, unaltered, as a new pokemon, /vp/ would never stop calling it a yokai. Nature is amazing.
>>26921322
That thing is legitimately more confusing than any Pokemon, Yokai, or fictional monster I've seen. Like, why is it even this way?
>>26911553
>>26914822
>>26917696
Not to mention Volcarona is the SUN Pokemon.
Knowing Gamefreak, though... we'll probably get Mega Volcarona in Gen 8 just to 'not be predictable'.
>>26920686
Of course.
>>26911678
same, they'd be so cuddly
>>26920994
>>26921096
Looking it up, it seems hedgehogs are illegal in Hawaii as a serious threat to wildlife. Doesn't stop them using some central Asian species though.
>>26920686
>Natural enemy to Beedrill confirmed.
i bet they taste cute
>post yfw drampa is mid evo, and final evo is a skeleton dragon who loses normal type for ghost
>my theory is based on the fact that grandpa's often die
>>26923968
A delcious absolutely awesome pipe dream
Damn you for making me want this, this that will never happen
>>26923968
>my theory is based on the fact that grandpa's often die
Are there grandpas that don't die?
>>26924164
>>26923968
>Implying grandpas aren't already dead
>>26923968
This is ghost armor honedge evolution all over again.
>>26924173
Don't say that about my grandpa. Even though its true.
>>26924173
>Both mine are dead
Oh shit
>>26924198
Or plague doctor Spritzee
Or manticore litleo
Or Slug-Dragon Goomy
Never happens.
>>26924220
Stop making me sad
>>26923850
>Serious threat to wildlife
>Yungoos was introduced into the region to regulate the population of a certain Pokémon
>>26911465
>Gen 6: 3 new bugs
>Gen 7: 4 new bugs so far
We already do and the game's not even out.
>>26926554
>inb4 cutiefly's evolution is the only new bug type left
>>26920214
The Japanese name is jijiilon. Jiji = grandfather + lon -> long -> dragon in chinese.
>>26920238
Nokottchi comes from tsuchinoko, a Japanese creature. Not because it's a child.
>>26923968
>Grampas die when they are killed
>>26926915
I wish we had symbols we could use for the sound between R and L and between B and V
would make romanization so much easier
>>26926930
Not true, my grandfather died in the Holocaust but he still speaks about his experience publicly.

this movie scared the shit out of me as a kid... stop making me dislike Drampa
