>>26713135>No imaging a frog with its tounge wrapped around itself. How is it going to catch/eat food?He unwraps it and lashes it out to whatever it wants to catch? It been shown dozens of times in many different medias. He can also fully retract it into its mouth, so it's main purpose is hiding his identity. I personally find his design to be almost perfect, cleverly realized and well executed.
My only problem with the tongue-scarf is that, as stated, it hides his identity, which is ok and all, but why does he keep doing it even to his trainer? I understand that Gamefreak are pretty lazy and that making a model with a fully-fuctional retractable tongue would be a pain to program (a collision detection nightmare), but i wish that at least they made 2 model variations:
One battle-ready model with the signature 3-point stance and the tongue scarf.
and
A slightly altered one with the upright stance it has in Amie and with no scarf.
It'd be my favorite of all time if it weren't for graphical limitations.
