Who /bug/ here?
>>26916381
>solid bug designs
>more than one family
Based. Hoping for a third family and then I'm set.
>>26916381
Heard a lot of people thinking Grubbin might have a split evo.
Would not mind that at all since I love Vikavolt and could see them doing more with the line, possibly a bug/ground split.
>>26916403
>solid
I'm glad that the bug/fairy isn't a butterfly. And one of the few things I wished for in this gen was a cool beetle, and they delivered. I'm pleased.
>>26916433
Iconic, can't wait for the plushies
>>26916433
Can't get more solid than a brick.
>>26916457
>>26916467
Is there any pokemon as perfectly dense as charjabug?
>>mfw you can build a wall of them
>>26916429
> a lot of people
Nah that's just me samefagging
There's a chance it could have split evo's depending on the islands and their associated guardians typing, this could be cool if your grubbin evolves differently for each island
>>26916433
I can't tell if that thing's supposed to be an AC plug or a train car.
>>26916481
Could be an electric train.
>>26916473
They haven't hesitated to do neat things with bug evolutions before, hope they don't stop now.
>>26916433
I don't completely dislike this but it feels really weird for the line.
I think it's the fact that it's basically still the same size as Grubbin despite being an evolution.
Feels like we could have gone straight from Grubbin to Vikavolt and never missed Charjabug.
>>26916481
It's acomputer bug
>>26916481
>or
It's both, and maybe a taser, too.
This is one of the best lines we've gotten in a while.
Just give us a bug/dark or bug/dragon and I'm pleased
>>26916481
I think it's both. Pokémon can be based on a lot of things at once.
It's a fun design, the shape sets it apart from all the other larvae.
>>26916471
Building a wall of them is just paralleling batteries.
>>26916473
>split evo based on the battery charge of your 3DS
>>26916433
One of the most unique cocoon Pokemon in the franchise. What's the problem?
>>26916520
It's not his mom's pupal stage.
>>26916503
normally I don't post emoticons but
:O
>>26916503
My 3DS is always plugged in. This would drive me nuts if I had to waste the battery to get more evolutions.
>>26916381
Pleasedon'tbeshit
Pleasedon'tbeshit
Pleasedon'tbeshit
>>26916489
You know what pupas are right?
They tend to be about the same size as the original grub.
>charjabug shown in trailer at lv 28 unevolved
Please be gen V all over again!!!!
They just took a bee fly, removed a pair of legs and called it a day. And you know, I'm perfectly fine with that. It's almost joltik levels of cute. Almost.
>>26916645
>Lv 28 unevolved
So we can expect decent stats?
>>26916433
Well it's clearly not a liquid
>>26916381
So is electric better special or physical?
It looks like a rail gun but we already had galvantula
Plus we need more physical electric types
>>26916645
>early game beetle that I won't have to replace after it starts falling behind the others
It's almost too good to even dream about.
>>26916710
Why? Gen 5 and even Gen 6 did just that with Venipede and Vivillon.
>>26916433
Looks better than all the other cacoons except for maybe the one that evolved into leavanny
>>26916705
Electric is better special because there are very few good electric physical moves.
>>26916710
>main game
>having trouble at all
>>26916705
My gut says fast special attack glass cannon.
>>26916520
There is no problem
I was making a joke about it being literally solid
>>26916734
>>having trouble at all
Didn't say that, though.
>>26916705
>>26916734
>>26916735
I meant to say Beetle
Not better
I wasn't asking if electric was better special or physical
It does look like it's going to be special but I was hoping it could be physical
Who knows, maybe it's mixed
>>26916753
You clearly have trouble balancing experience between your Pokémon, and using weaker Pokémon. Even using things like Ledian or Magcargo in HGSS is easy, the great thing about Pokémon is you can use nearly anything in-game with ease.
>>26916381
>Cutiefly
Always feels good when a bug pokemon connects with me. Now I'm worried if Popplio ends up fairy though. Fuck it, I'm put them both in.
>>26916520
People like you are cancer
Throwing away all logic isnt okay just because it's "unique" or "original"
An item-based pokemon in the middle of an animal-based line is cancerous
What's everyone's ideal Bug-type monoteam, /vp/?
I don't think they're gonna do another special attacking bug/electric type right after galvantula.
I can definitely see this thing being mixed.
>>26916790
Fuck your opinion
>>26916812
A literal pile of poop with glasses would be pretty original and unique
I bet you'd like it
>>26916803
Impossible for me to decide.
Gen 2 and 5 both have fantastic bugs.
>>26916663
It's so cute, they literally called it Cutiefly.
Aw man, I really gotta get me one of these. Popplio and Cutie are already a main stay and I think I'm gonna pick the new bird too, I'm just unsure about its type. I'd pick Toge so hard too and I'm usually a hard ass concerning picking any kind of Pika clone, but I just can't resist.If Popplio were to become Ballio or at the very least something similar to him because I've grown attached to the sea lion clown concept, I'd have my team pretty much guaranteed, anything else would just be a major plus.
>>26916790
All 3 forms have prongs similar to an electric plug so it's really not that offputting to have the cliche "gathering energy to evolve" middle cocoon form most early bug types have look like an AC charger.
>>26916831
This argument doesn't work here.
>>26916781
you're clearly a fucking bitch t b h f a m
>>26916481
>>>26916433
>I can't tell if that thing's supposed to be an AC plug or a train car.
Battery
>>26916381
bugfags wins again, irrelevant how shit the game is, you guys always get good looking mons, tell me your secrets
>>26916966
We are content with the shit we get.
>>26916966
Since you got dubs, I'll tell you. Satoshi Tajiri is a colossal bugfucker. Hell, he even wanted to be an entomologist. But then lolurbanblight, so he got into the video game racket instead.
>>26916966
We get good designs in exchange for 90% of them being terrible in competitive gameplay. It's a blessing and a curse.
I'm from Buenos Aires and I say kill em all.
These are gen 5 bug-tier designs. I hope the fly doesn't evolve into a shitmon or it easily has a spot on my team
>>26917274
Im from buenos aires and I say sos un pelotudo
>>26916433
>those square eyes
shit
>>26917497
> Implying those are its eyes
>>26916433
Are you implying it's Solid Snake under a box
>>26917497
faggot
yoooooo i love me some fuggin bugs
>>26917554
and?
now looks even worse
>>26917554
>>26916932
Git gud
Don't reply to him.
>>26916381
>Literally Flymon, BladeKuwagamon, Kokuwamon and Wormmon
>>26917579
you can't be serious. This is a top tier cocoon pokemon.
>>26916381
If we get at least one more line then we are set. The Grubbin line and Cutiefly are fucking based.Now I'm just waiting for the Ground types ;_;
>>26917608
the final stage is the only thing that saves this line
gen 5 had better looking bug families, especially because they were good from the first stage to the final one
luckily the only good thing this gen has done right
>>26916681
>evolves on level 38
>BST 410
"no"
>>26916481
It's a battery/stun gun.
>>26917651
Fucking laughed my ass off at this.
>Bug/Fire type
>>26916790
The entire line is item-based you idiot.
>>26917653
Many Pokémon in Gen 2 are the result of Game Freak giving zero shits about stats.
>>26918085
>Typhlosion has the same exact stats as Charizard
Oy vey
New bug pokemon was the only thing I wanted from this game. So far I'm hype
I'm /poison/, but you guys are like my brothers. Love you all.
>>26918225
Same. I don't even give a shit about the rest of the dex, I love Vikavolt and the previous forms.
Is Gen VII gonna be another Bug Gen? Cause I'm SUPER okay with that. Vikavolt is gonna be a guaranteed lock on my team for sure!
>>26918283
>mfw Poison and Bug are my favorite types
>>26918395
What was the previous Bug Gen?
>>26918483
Gen V
>>26916381
I just pray they aren't shitmons
The cute bee fairy should have a 3 stage evo, and taserbug should have Scolipede-tier stats.
>>26918836
This
I want my based vikavolt special sweeper
Mega Vikavolt leaked
>>26918836
Why is this term even used if you like the Pokémon? It just seems retarded.
>>26917231
This. Yes, we have Pokemon that look absolutely amazing.
And then fat egg falcon comes along and pushes one button to oneshot all of them.
>>26919449
Pokemon can be nice and yet still shit.
I love Butterfree but there's no denying it's practically useless about halfway into any game.
>>26918483
Gen V, introducing decent to great Bug types like Leavanny, Scolipede, Galvantula, Accelgor, Genesect, and Volcarona.
Not one bug from Gen V is shit-tier.
>>26916381
I prefer Joltik and Galvantula over the new electric bug mon.
But I'm super hyped for fairy bug and hope pewpa man evolves into something cool
>>26916481
It's just a more boxy pupa.
I can understand the confusion cause who in the world sees pupas all that often.
>>26919496
Butterfree is a lifesaver when you get to Koga, especially if you don't feel like trying to catch an Abra
>>26919665
I feel like that's the Pokemon designers gift and curse. They can pull inspiration from the most obscure creatures but because no one knows what the basis is, it leads to it being called a "bad design"
>>26919603
>he forgot about Escavalier and Durant, but listed Leavanny, the worst one of the whole bunch
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>26919436
>Mega Vikavolt not Big Core
>>26916381
Anyone else just really glad that the regional bug isn't another moth or butterfly? It's nice to have another beetle be the regional bug.
>>26916645
THE EYES ARE THE BATTERY LIFE ICON
>>26919873
Yeah it's nice to have diversity and desu I might actually use a bug-type in my team, which i've never done before (regret not using Galvantula though)
Who else is going to be rocking both bugs?
>>26916857
I get you, anon.
Although, I'm going with Rowlet, and I sincerely hope it's final evolution will be something on the cuter side and not some edgelord bird shit.
>>26916381
I think it's safe to say the box is yokai material
>>26916381
So what type of beetle is the final evo of Grubbin?
>>26919970
I'm going mono-bug.
>>26920090
Stag Beetle.
>>26920090
stag bettle
its name is stag beetle in nip + canon
>>26919436
Bugaboom is closer to Mega Pinsir
>>26919496
Butterfries entire concept is to be the first Pokemon that teaches you evolution because of how early it evovles
>>26916705
The trailer shows it use Zap canon
It's definitely special
>>26919970
Oh hell yeah. They're both cool as fuck. I can not wait for this gen to come out. It's shaping up to be one of the best ones yet.
>>26918283
>>26918418
/bug/, /poison/, and /ghost/ here; you guys rock/grass/ and /normal/ too
>>26916457
>>26916471
THE DREAM.
>>26916497
Agreed. These are overdue
>>26919644
Same here, but shit, I love these new guys to death.
God damn. I'm just really happy to have two extremely rad lines of Bug/Electric types.
>>26919951
speaking of which, how did you see his "eyes" /vp/?
B here. C is unlikely but idk, I can see it.
>>26921005
It's C. They're just lenses, his actual eyes glow behind them.
>>26921005
It's C, my dude. Check >>26917554
>>26921005
>>26920371
m8, there's as many physical lines that learn zap cannon as there are special lines.
>>26916433
He looks like something that would deploy out of Thunderbird 2.
>>26921028
>>26921037
>>26921040
I know that, but I meant how you saw them at first. It's why I called them ""eyes""
>>26921037
>>26921040
It's eyes remind me of Kamina glasses. Definitely naming my VikaVolt Kamina or something similar.
>>26921005
It literally is C. Theres a cut of the video where you see he has two angular yellow eyes behind the "windows"
>>26921005
>>26921040
Why does it have those white stripes always to the left? It's confusing, like it's permanently looking to one side.
>>26921037
>>26921105
Aye, okay, I thought you may have meant that by "how DID", but the "C is unlikely" comment threw me in the other direction.
I first saw it as C, but I cannot unsee B. A is very cute. Ultimately see it as C but I like B just as much.
>>26921175
It's glare. It's meant to look like windows.
>>26916381
They're tasty when cooked by fire...
>>26916381
Galvantula.
its a bus you idiots
>>26923172
whatever you say anon
>>26916381
>implying beetles are bugs
Cicindelids and bombyllids! Two of this entomologist's favorite families.
>>26916381
I am a /bug/psychic/ghost/ fag and it's a great day to be alive.
We haven't had any ghost revealed yet, have we?
>>26923694
just Lunala
>>26916433
It's a D cell battery with sunglasses. How isn't that a solid design?
>>26916731
Kakuna is perfect.
>>26916831
so it's the grimer family line
>>26921037
>Don't make me get off this bus
>>26916489
If you do a side by side Charjabug is relatively bigger than Grubbin
Grubbins fucking tiny
>>26916790
>implying
>>26924451
>implying
>>26919748
They're all solid, especially in game. The point is he could list of a few good ones from that gen and still miss a few. All we got from gen 6 was Vivillon patterns. The mega bugs in xy were goofy BUT we did get mega beedrill in oras so atleast there was that.
>>26916381
Is Grubbin really taller/bigger than Charjabug?
>>26925311
Nope.
>>26924788
>the implications
>>26923694
Give me a NEW Bug/Ghost with passable stats or an interesting gimmick, and I'll be happy.
>>26925798
What would be a good concept for another Bug/Ghost type? Maybe a stick insect patterned after dead leaves?
>>26916489
>Implying Charjabug is Grubbin's evo
>>26925821
An Egyptian themed scarab.
I want SO BADLY for a yellow/pink shiny design, and I shall name it Goteki 45
>>26925928
>not picking Assegai
With these new bug designs gen 7 may make me into a bugbro, I already like a few lines and these are fucking great, I hope cutiefly evolves
>retarded crabfags unironically hate vikavolt
>>26917551
Kept you waiting, huh?
>>26916381
I'm scared our based gen 7 bugs aregonna have shit stats while that hideous fish gets played all over cause its a big fuck you to Talonflame.
Hold me bugbros, tell me its gonna be alright and Vikavolt is gonna be top their.
>>26927255
They showed Charjabug at a relatively high level for a non Gen 5 bug type
So I assume Vikavolt will be Gen 5 bug tier or at least close
>>26919951
It'd be cool if the battery life icon depleted as its HP got lower, although I'm pretty sure they're supposed to be windows
>>26927271
>vik viper has a ~540 bst
>no guard with megahorn, gunk shot and zap cannon
I just want him to be ou approved
>>26927387
Calling it now
520 BST, mixed attacker with mediocre speed and pretty good defenses that's made up for with No Guard Zap Cannon
>>26925653
The japanese name is something along the lines of Beetle Cannon, I'm kinda sad they removed the cannon reference in the english name.
FFS I though Vikavolt was the name of the Pikaclone until an hour ago
>>26919466
There's a reason lipfish exists
>>26927402
>mfw slow Bug type

I'm still trying to figure out what the "vika" is supposed to be.
>>26927458
>can paralyze everything with a 120 BP move so Speed doesn't matter for the most part
Looking at it again it doesn't look slow at all though

>Fucking hate it
>It's a usb adapter

It all comes together.
Best pun used in Pokémon design of the decade.
>>26928270
Are you autistic? Because you've been posting this in nearly every thread. The even weirder part is that you think it's "amazing" enough to warrant spamming it.
>>26916381
I just finally made a bug mono that can take on competitive teams even with Talonfaggot.
Now I gotta start from scratch because fuck me if Vikavolt isn't on my team.
>Vic viper gets as HA Speedboost
Good or shit.
>>26928124
Absolutely busted in Trick Room doubles
>>26928326
Just change galvantula for him
>>26928109
Could possibly be Vikane, which is Sulfuryl fluoride, a chemical that used in insecticide, although I don't know what it has to do with the bug's theme
>>26928109
>>26928659
Oh nevermind, a lot of people are saying it's based on Vic Viper.
Are you stupid or just really ignorant?
>same size
>total different patterns but still have similarities
>OH SHIT TOTALLY THE SAME EVO LINE
>>26930466
Grubbin and Charjabug aren't the same size though.
>>26930480
did you watch the video at least?
>>26930510
Yes. They're different in size.
Charjabug is 1.5-2x thicker than Grubbin
Five cute facts about Cutiefly:
1.) It's based on the bee fly, the cutest fly there is
2.) It's cute
3.) I love it
4.) Cutiefly!
/electric/ and /ice/ here
I'm pretty happy with Vikavolt, here's hoping Ice gets some love this gen
Is this accurate?
>>26930544
>grubbin 1'04"
>charjabug 1'08"
>1.5-2x thicker
i know it's confirmed but you really are that dense or are you just pretending?
>>26930627
Seems to be to me
>>26921037
>>26921040
to me it kind of looks like its in a hazmat suit.
>>26930596
Mauna Kea is in the game, so I'm expecting at least two ice families.
>>26917606
As a digimon fag I'm ok with all of this
>>26931997
That's length, you triple nigger
>>26917630
I'm really hoping the steel types are cool...
>Vikavolt clasps Charjabug with its legs and uses it as an extra battery. Even if a battle drags on, it can use the electric power from Charjabug to continue firing off powerful moves. When Vikavolt is engaged in a fierce aerial fight, it releases Charjabug to make itself lighter and increase its mobility.
This is some good flavoring
Here's to hoping that cutie doesn't evolve into something shitty. Bug/fairy is a neat typing.
>>26930466
