Alright, seriously. Why does Graveler evolve into Golem. They look nothing alike. At least Geodude and Graveler look somewhat alike. Is there some mythology behind it or something?

When every Geodude is a baby, their mothers give them lizards to eat. The lizard stays inside the Geodude's belly even when it evolves. When it gets hit by radiation from trading, the lizard inside it grows and kills the Graveler, growing its limbs out and using the ded Graveler as armor. Then it is called Golem.

Think of it this way, OP.

It's not a Sentient Rock, rather it's a living organism who has a chrysalis that is as hard as solid stone. This hard outer layer keeps its safe from most of its would be Predators until it fully matures.

When a Graveler evolves into a Golem it has reached peak maturity and the softer bits on the inside have become incredibly dense, stronger so it can expose itself without fear because its done growing. It's skin has hardened. The Rocks on the outside of Golem is merely a husk or a shell.

Only then can you know the pain that Graveler feels.

Dragonite is gay as fuck. Dratini and Dragonair were awesome, and you would think they would become some kickass sea serpent, but no; it turns into a fucking bloated barney thing with a different color scheme, and little to no resemblance to its previous form.

Sorry for ranting, I just get mad at GameFreak for wasting all that potential. Maybe they went that route because they figured a Water/Dragon type thing would be too powerful.

I don't think that's the case, the expressions on Dragonair and Gyarados are not even alike, if anything they seem to just have made Dragonite part of an evolution chain instead of a standalone pokemon (notice how Lance has a pair of Dragonairs and a Dragonite, well, yeah, some other Elite 4 had unevolved mons but you catch my drift, remember Dragon types were like a last minute addition.

Because they needed to make the design more standout than the previous form. You can't just give Graveler two more arms and two more legs. So they drastically changed the final form. Same with Dragonite. Hell, the prototype form was literally gonna be Dragonair with ridges. Simplicity can only do so much.

its pretty straight forward to me

geodude has its 2 arms
graveler has 4 arms, the two long outer arms are the arms it had as a geodude, the smaller ones are undeveloped and just starting to emerge as are the legs. also the beginnings of a forehead
golem has 2 arms, upon evolution it sheds the arms it had as a geodude and the other arms as well as the legs finish developing, and its head fully emerges from the body

Graveler exhibits no animal like traits, it's simply an animated boulder. HOwever, graveler assumes very mammalian like qualities. No other pokemon does this.

>dratini to dragonite
still all obviously reptilian
>larvitar to pupitar to tyranitar
larvitar and tyranitar have obvious animal characteristics, pupitar being the intermediate cocoon stage.
>golbat to crobat
both clearly batlike, though dissimilar, both would be in the same biological genus.

A rock going to a mammal is like the biggest jump you can fucking make.

>implying things have to be completely round to roll

All it has to do is go into a semi-fetal position (since it doesn't have the physiology for a true fetal position).

>implying that's a prototype Dragonite

It's more likely a standalone version of Dragonair, considering two other evolution families are shown and that one is just alone. Dragonite may not have even been a concept at the time.

This fanart of Dragonite with a ridged back is p.cool though.

It makes some sense if it were standalone or only evolved as far as that. Dragonite could have been the standalone. Hell, could have been a legendary also.

I'm in the planning stages of a rom hack that includes all the beta designs of Pokémon and I'm debating whether to have that evolution family go Dratini-Dragonair or just have Dragonair being alone. Dragonite won't be included because it would take away from the importance of the beta Dragonair.

and honestly, it's kinda boring to play a game with mini fish coming at you and then the boss is just the same but bigger.

Golem doesn't look bad, it just doesn't fit the dude's line, unlike Graveler. Oh well, I'm glad I barely remember him.

one of the mobs was a small pistol fish that looked just like remoraid, and one of the bosses was a canon octopuss like octillery. plus the main character (megaman) looks just like lendian.

lol You're thinking of Pulseman. Megaman isn't by GameFreak.

Didn't know that about the bosses though. That's really cool and although it doesn't make any sense as a Pokémon, it does make sense as an homage.

The moonrunes might give a bit more insight, but my first guess is that the King's Rock was supposed to be an element earlier but they either couldn't think of a way to implement it or just decided on Poliwrath instead, later bring King's Rock back with Politoed.
