Cloyster looks like a vagina? Also Articunos, Zapdos, Moltres etc.
Cubone is a baby Kangaskhan and the missing link in the MISSINGNO. evolution.Venonat => ButterfreeMetapod => VenomothBlue's Raticate died prior to your battle in Pokemon Tower.etc...
one of my nerd friends would attack my cloyster with a team of onixes just to make this 'attacked by penises' joke. :\
Magikarp -> DragoniteDratini -> Dragonair -> GyaradosGastly is a dead Koffing<---PIKAchu
>>429Nah, carps becoming eastern-style dragons is a mainstay of folklore and Dragonair looks quite similar to Dragonite in facial structure.Might have been the original idea, though. Imagine having to tough it for a Magikarp to level 50.
>>429Wait nevermind I just noticed this.
Zubat doesn't have ears.It has two angry eyes with dark purple pupils and lighter purple whites.
>>445Pokedex entry from Pearl:"Even though it has no eyes, it can sense obstacles using ultrasonic waves it emits from it mouth."
>>452>>454It was meant to be a "can't unsee" type thing. Admittedly, not a very good one.Also, if slowbro is a slowpoke with a clammy/cloyster clamped onto its shell, how come the eyes moved from the "pearl" to the shell itself?
>>456Because biting the Slowpoketail made the Shellder evolve into a mutation. The weight of the mutated/evolved Shellder is what makes Slowpoke stand up.
>>458>ShellderFuck, why did I say "clammy"? It's been too long since I've played these games.
Copypasta, but it still surprised me when I first read it.In the original Pokémon Red/Blue, when you encounter your rival in Lavender Town he asks whether or not you know what it’s like to have one of your Pokémon die. At this point in the game, he no longer has his Raticate that he used in previous battles. Your rival battle before this took place aboard the S.S. Anne. Your rival’s Raticate sustained serious injuries from the battle… but, because crowding and confusion on the luxury liner, he was unable to make it to a Pokémon Center in time and the Raticate passed away. The real reason your rival is in Lavender Town to begin with is to lay his deceased friend to rest. Despite all of this, your rival never outwardly tells you that you’re responsible for the death of his Pokémon. He hides his grief and instead channels that energy into the motivation he needed to continue his quest to become Indigo League Champion. The death of his Raticate effectively destroys your rival’s impish, childhood innocence. Although he tells himself that he doesn’t hold you responsible, he subconsciously holds a great deal of resentment towards you which further fuels his ambitions. Tearfully swearing upon his Raticate’s grave to not fail in what he set out to do, he trains hard in hopes of becoming better than you… defeating you… and to eventually make it to the Pokémon League. Mere moments after he became Indigo League champion, he was defeated… by you. Although he fulfilled his promise to his fallen Pokémon, it was only for a painfully brief instant. In the end, your rival is scolded by his grandfather while you receive the professor’s praise. During the course of the game, you steal your rival’s innocence, crush his dreams, and ultimately snatch away the love of his own grandfather. Oh, and by the way, your rival doesn’t have any parents. He’s an orphan.
>>680>>During the course of the game, you steal your rival’s innocence, crush his dreams, and ultimately snatch away the love of his own grandfather. FUCK YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAH!
>>683Red was here.Blue is a loser.
>>684PFFFFFTNOAsh is Gay!
>>686Red was here.Ash is a loser.
>>687>Ash is a loserAgreed.
I was watching old episodes of Pokemon with someone the other day, and came to the conclusion that Ash is just the worst Pokemon trainer...ever. He just fails upwards.
Obligatory.
>>696What about the trainers Ash beats?
>>1068Dumb luck and Deus Ex Machina, combined with gym leaders giving him badges for free because he's "earned" them.Then again, all of these trainers have also lost to Team Rocket, huh...
if you hack the stats you'll see that Joey's rattata is actually in the top percentile of rattatas
>>1089Yeah, man. Its IVs are nearly perfect, with an Adamant nature. It is pretty quality.Speaking of which, all of Cynthia's Pokemon have perfect IVs.
A lot of the folks involved in Pokemon at Game Freak also worked on Mother. Or Earthbound, here in the states. One of the optional names for the main character was going to be Ninten, after the character in Mother. Mewtwo was modeled after Giygas. He had to be redesigned because of the close similarities to the psionic alien of the Mother series.
>>1102Is that really a can't unsee? Remoraid's obviously a pistol like Octillery is a tank. That's why one evolves into the other.
The original designs are fucking crazy.
>>1166As long as you didn't live in Japan and buy Green.
>>1171However, you're right that some of these are really awesome looking.Really digging Charizard's pose.
O_o
Best. Sprite. Ever.
>>1175Still better than tapeworm Ekans, conjoined beak Spearow, Puff the magic Charizard, Gengar the moss bear, web-handed Kadabra, Stretch Arm Machop, deformed fetus Mew, flat Ivysaur, or gargoyle Vaporeon.However, Clefairy, Kingler, Fearow, Raticate, Voltorb, Magikarp, Pinsir, and Butterfree look pretty good.
Maybe I'm crazy, but if Cloyster looks like a vagina to you, you might want to consider seeing(if you are a girl), or taking your GF to a gynecologist
Red and Blue's sprites were better than Yellow's too.
>>1102>>1135I never noticed either of those.
Electorb is really just an upside-down voltorb.
Not only does it look like one but,Cloyster = Clytores = Clitoris
>>1181Uh, no. Those are pretty awesome. Even by contemporary standards, I feel.
>>1172>>1171OH MY GIDDY AUNT! POLIWRATH'S EYES ARE TRYING TO ESCAPE!
>>1172>squished Pidgeot>Gastly is all gas, with no solid "head" in the middleBugged me as a kid. >>1171>skeleton AerodactylExplain this madness!!!
>>1310Maybe they decided to include the skeletal Aerodactyl from the Pewter museum?
>>1310Originally, Ghost Pokemon were intended to play a more open and apparent supernatural role. Ghost Pokemon get downplayed as animals and brushed over.
>>1314It's too bad that in Gen I they weren't even all that useful.
>>1311That's exactly why: they stored the skeleton sprite in the same memory area or whatever. It's why certain glitch Pokemon have the Aerodactyl skeleton for a sprite.>>1318They were at least immune to Hyper Beam, which was immensely overpowered back then because it did twice as much damage and didn't require a recharge if it KO'd something or a Substitute.
>>5073And to think that, when it was alive, it was a Castform (the baby-headed titty pokemon).
Crobat has feet.
>>5074Seriously. is it even possible to look at Castform and not see a pokemon with giant tits?
IN G/S the daycare center, the first one with breeding, is located on Route 34.
>>5095Oh ho ho, clever man.
>>1089What? I heard it was the exact opposite.
>Cloyster looks like a vaginaI dunno what kinda vaginas YOU'VE seen but that don't look like no vagina I ever saw.
Palikia and Dialga incorporate the imagery of a penis and a vagina, respectively. Palkia's kind of obvious, but look at the design on Dialga's head.
Oh man, this is like, one of my favorite things to post about and hear things about.Let's see, what hasn't been said...There's a pair of trainers (young couple Duff and Eda) on Route 47 in Johto who use an Onix and a Cloyster (respectfully).>>12657His Rattata actually has a lot of high level IVs, around 20+ per stat if I remember, so it's stats actually do make it in the top percentage for it's species.Everyone of the fire starters fits into the Chinese Zodiac:Charmander: DragonCyndaquil: MouseTorchic: RoosterChimchar: MonkeyPokabu: PigAnd when you give a Poliwhirl a Wtaer stone it doesn't actually evolve, it just GETS ANGRY.
