>>28347242I'd actually made a fake starter line when I was like 10 and kept refining it until I stopped drawing altogether. Basically it went
Dolfin > Dorca > Angeluga
Starts out as a cute little blue bottlenose, changes into a rogueish orca, then into an angelic looking beluga. The idea was that as it grew, it would become more violent to protect its pod. As a fully grown being, however, it could simply use its soothing voice to redirect aggressors away from it. At the time Angeluga became a Psychic type, but now I guess it'd be a fairy...
Really I just want a Pokemon based on a bottlenose or common dolphin. They can throw in whatever gimmick they want. Banana dolphin from earlier would be cute.
>>28347784They already have Mankey and other similar Pokemon that fly into a rage and beat up other Pokemon. As long as they aren't killing humans onscreen, it's kosher.
>>28351518No? There are extensive debates within and without Japan about whether it's okay or not for them to hunt dolphins and whales, but that shouldn't effect the creation of a Pokemon based on one. Otherwise Wailmer and Wailord wouldn't exist.
