>people were surprised and upset by this
What? Why? How was it not the most obvious thing in the world?
who is upset besides the crabfag?
It was
They're retards
I want to hope that the people denying it were just memeing. Anyone with a 1/16th of brains should have made the connection immediately.
Caterpillar to caterpillar is weird. Charjabug looks more like a Caterpie or Weedle than like a Metapod or Kakuna or Silcoon or Cascoon.

But neither of them are caterpillars, anon.

>Caterpillar to caterpillar
>>26948415
Lol caterpillars.
Bug Larvae to clever electric/bug cocoon concept ftfy.
>>26948415
But Charjabug is a pupa, anon. The body is a rigid outer shell, the blue 'eyes' are actually like windshields, you can see his real eyes underneath in the video.
>>26948395
im just upset the cocoon didnt turn into a garbage truck

It's a battery-shaped coccon
>>26948395
I'm just confused why they made it look exactly like a bus. Just unnecessarily confusing, especially since it evolves into a space fighter.
>>26949605
its make more sense for a bus to evolve into a plane than battery to evolve into a plane
>>26949605
Are you dumb? It's a fucking battery.
When is Reddit going to leave?
>>26948395
Surpized and upset upon seeing the thing? Yes, because it's hideous
Surprized when it's revealed to be Grubbin's evo next day? Lolno, everyone knew this piece of trash was its evo as soon as we saw it
>>26949605
>le bus meme
>>26949671
>>26949737
There are a million ways you can draw a battery to not look like a bus. They picked the ONE where it does. They gave it little wheels and a grill and a fucking WINDSHIELD. I know it's meant to be a battery but they drew a goddamn bus.
>>26948395
i just don't like the color scheme. from red and yellow and brown and white to like... cool blue/green colors is weird

Anon, it's a bus battery.
>>26950398
I people would do at least one google search, just so they don't make retarded posts like yours

Why do you fuckers care? Vikavolt is the coolest looking bug since Vespiquen and Yanmega. That's the only thing that matters, really, so long as the Pokemon don't look like digimon or yokai.
>>26950780
Grubbin is 1st - 3rd instar, Carjabug is pupae shaped like a battery.
Because that's what it fucking is. Vikivolt's entry even refers to it as a battery. It's fucking ability is literally "Battery". How can people be this fucking retarded?
Just for the record it's either a chrysalis (special exoskeleton just for pupating) or puparium (where they pupate under their final larval molting and look much like Kakuna), not a cocoon which implies a silk coating.

>what is design choice
>what is cold/warm color scheme
>muh real life must overcome muh design influence
god you people are intolerable. no wonder the new game appeals to kids more than you
>>26948401
man, that crabfag makes me lol
i wonder if he's still around
>>26952165
Fuck off.
>>26952165
They chose to have it mirror reality, don't know why you have so much issue with that.
Also, your last statement makes no sense what so ever. We approve of the design choice, so this game appeals more to kids (as they should really) than us? What?
>>26948395
I thought it was a caterpie/weedle relationship going on. Not evolving. Not upset just a little surprised.
>>26952165
>"no wonder the new game appeals to kids more than you"

>>26951190
What does the ability Train Car do again? Gives you a sp attack boost whenever you yell choo choo into the mic?
>>26948395
Rounded larva evolves to square pupa into zigzagged bug?
Yeah naah, you can fuck off with that shit Gamefreak.
>>26953954
IT JUST GETS ELECTRICER
>>26948395
>>26954012
So bunny evolves into dogloaf and into german shepard. Am I right?
Im not upset about this but the color scheme changing completely did have me thinking it was another pokemon line.
Either way this is already my favorite bug type pokemon line taking Ninjask's place.
>>26949756
>They gave it little wheels
It has no wheels.
Since when buses have a pair of glass instead of one? Since when buses have teeth?
Since when buses have A DOOR IN THE FUCKING FRONT?

>Im not upset about this but the color scheme changing completely did have me thinking it was another pokemon line.
Man you must have hated all other cocoons bar Kakuna, Swadloon and Spewpa.
>>26948415
Grubbin is a fucking grub. How that's not obvious from visuals alone is astounding, but its even right in the name.
Grubs go into a pupa state that looks similar to a darkened, more rigid version of themselves. Now I dont expect everyone to know the life cycle of a grub, but there's CLEAR visual similarities among the entire line-- they all have a squat body with 4 limbs, 4 spots on the side of their body, a verticle zigzag mouth and some form of horns/jaws. You were given everything needed to connect the dots, there are pokemon that evolve logically with far less visual cohesion than this line, and yet people STILL failed to see it.
>>26955995
This. I mean, fuck. None of the Wurmple line share their colors and patterns in common. Wurmple doesn't share anything in common with any of its evolution design-wise. Only the branched evolutions share design elements, and not colors, with any other evolution and only with their counterparts. Hell, none of them even share eyes in common. Caterpie and Metapod are both green, but otherwise completely dissimilar design-wise. Same with the Weedle line, despite them all being some shade of yellowish. This is all because of the drastic changes between the life stages of the animals they're based on, and should've been expected with a grub.
Chajabug being a cube is a bit odd, but a nice bit of fresh air to the repetition of these designs after a bunch of similarly shaped middle stage bugs. Considering it's also a battery, it's a good confluence of the general shape of beetle pupae (all folded up) and square batteries.
I'm just wondering if it's ability will see further distribution. It's a bit odd to give a middle stage Pokemon a unique ability that only works in formats you're unlikely to see in-game while using it. Then again, GameFreak does like to put concept ahead of sensible mechanics.
Yeah it's obvious but there are some oddities out there desu.
>>26948395
All this hate on the bus/battery and everyone ignores how badass it is that we're getting a railgun bug.
>>26948395
>Vikavolt's description says they carry Charjabugs and use them as a spare battery while flying
>Charjabug, and even Grubbin, have circles on their sides that line up with where Vikavolts arms would grab onto them
Neat.
>>26956605
I never understood why people claim this. Caterpie's real-world equivalent has the adult stage look much more like Butterfree than Venomoth and Venonat and Venomoth share the the shape of their mouthparts.
>>26959525
Because butterfree and venonat have the exact same face? Like it's 1:1
>>26958663
Anyone hatting on the bus battery has terrible taste, easily a top tier mid stage bug.
>>26959525
>>26959560
How many Gen 1 Pokémon have triangle angry eyes and small fang in edge of mouth.
>>26959589
Okay, so assuming that did happen, for what reason would they not have changed it? Butterfree is an early-game Mon, so it would have been obvious if the wrong sprite loaded when it evolved.
