I can accept them being Rock-type, but ALL three are PURE Rock? What the fuck. Pure types should embody what their type is all about, not be generic animals or beasts with subtle elements of that type barely incorporated in its design.

In Pokemon anything that's orange and green can easily be assumed to be fire and grass respetively because they're odder colors. But brown is generic and many normal types have that color.

>>28714376
You're a fucking liar if you think you can look at midnight Lycanroc without any background knowledge and go "that's a pure rock type"

Also Nidoran is a fucking purple creature with barbs sticking out all over it. Of course it's a poison type. Stop playing dumb.

Except when it's blue. Random whiskers and a couple of rounded lumps don't scream poison at all.

How is having a few barbs okay for indicating poison, but having a few rocks not okay for indicating rock?

I kind of agree with OP on this one. Nothing about night Lycanroc's design reminds me of, well, rocks. It looks a lot more like a Dark-type. If it were part Rock then that could be easily justified in a way that's similar to Lucario's part-Steel typing.

But maybe it's best that they all remain pure Rock, as Dark is pretty much the worst secondary type you could have defensively.

You would have to be retarded. Green is just one element, I never said it was the only one.

Case in point:

- Caterpie: looks like a caterpillar, hence Bug.
- Metapod: looks like a cocooon, hence Bug.
- Scyther: looks like a Mantis, hence Bug.
- Spinarak: looks like a bug, hence Bug.
- Natu: looks like a mystic bird, hence Flying/Psychic.
- Xatu: looks like a mystic bird, hence Flying/Psychic.
- Politoed: looks like a huge toad, hence water, but could have been water/grass too and I wouldn't mind at all.
- Larvitar, same as Tyranitar.
- Electrike: ugly as fuck, but has that static vibe going for it so Electric.
- Gulpin: looks like goo, Poison fits it.
- Kecleon: I explained.
- Flygon: looks like a dragon.
- Rayquaza: dragon.
- Yanmega: bug.

The others I never heard of.

there are no ambulatory plants as far as I'm aware. It's based on an orchid mantis, but it canonically only looks like one because it uses slashing appendages. The idea of it using scent to attract prey is probably based on pitcher plants.

I honestly doubt gamefreak are smart enough to have thought of reverse orchid mantis (plant looking like a bug) and instead I think they just didn't want to make it grass/bug- considering how awfully these two types synergize, there is really no point in one pretending to be the other in pokemon world.

It's completely reasonable to think of Kecleon as a grass type. However it doesn't break normal type conventions because they don't have any. They can look like anything. It connects to normal type thematically because chameleons are known for changing colors, hence it's a neutral type that changes types.

Treecko on the other hand has a fucking leaf for a tail, and is green. It is very obviously a grass type. That said, Pokemon don't have to immediately convey their type, but they DO have to have a reasonable connection to that type, unless they have a thematic reason not to.

Sundog at the very least has the stalagmite collar that relates it to rock, and a brown color scheme. Moondog has literally NO rock features, putting it with Lucario in the list of fucking awful designs that look nothing like their type, and have no visible or thematic connection to it.

You furfag apologists can fuck off now.

I don't really mind Lucario and moondog not looking like rocks and metal. I've always thought it was weird that those two types had a requisite "the Pokemon must be made out of this material" rule that no other type has. It makes sense to me that there would be a handful of Pokemon who just have rock/steel element affinities without being made out of the stuff.

I agree with you. Look at arcanine, vulpix, cloyster and Mawile; but in Lucario's case I don't know of any part of its lore that indicates an affinity to steel type. I've seen someone argue something about it being to do with vibrations and someone else theorize it has a metal skeleton ala wolverine.

Treeko doesn't have a leaf for a tail. It's tail is just a normal bulbous green leaf thing.

You cannot honestly say that you'd be 100% sure Treeko was a grass type from looks and coloring alone. It could very easily be Dragon or Normal without being out of place.

I might accept that the moon version lacks many features that key into Rock, but OP was calling out all 3, despite Rockroff and sun both having actual rocks on their body, which somehow doesn't count but being Green for grass does.

Also some orchids, like the hammer orchids, mimic females of certain bug species to fool males into trying to copulate with them and when they give up and get fooled by another orchid pollination is achieved.

In other words Lunantis is built for sex.

Every type except normal has criteria. Ground is also pretty loose. They don't have to be literally made of it, Cradily isn't made of rock but it's a fossil so there is a reasonable connection. Mawile doesn't look like steel but the beartrap mouth is something at least.

When every design in the series connects to its type somehow, the ones that don't are a problem. If there was some thematic reason for it I might buy it, but as is it just reeks of laziness.

Like I said ground types are fairly loose. However scorpions are a desert animal which is inherently reasonable as a ground type.

The argument was never what type something "isn't." It's whether the types that it IS are reasonable on it. Rock and dark are both reasonable on Ttar.

Vulpix at the very least has its type's color. That is the bare minimum, and it's far more than what moondog has.

What legendaries does it not make sense on? The ones that are super intelligent? Or the ones that manipulate matter?

Reminder that you're fucking illiterate, because I literally said it doesn't HAVE to be immediately obvious. The important thing is you can make a connection to it from the design.

Tyranitar certainly looks like it could be made of rock. This furry faggot does not.
Lugia and Latis are not models for good design. They are actually some of the worst in the series, up there with Lucario.

It's not autism to say a design is shit for not conveying its type in ANY way, neither in color nor features.

I always assumed that part of Lucario's aura manipulation ability also included being able to channel it in a way that hardens parts of its body like steel.
A lot of popular Shounen media toy with the idea of it being a legitimate method for a martial artist to be able to match up against metallic weaponry in blows.

It just seems an incredibly abstract way of thinking about "steel" when energy utilization in that sense is typically associated with the psychic type.

>The argument was never what type something "isn't." It's whether the types that it IS are reasonable on it. Rock and dark are both reasonable on Ttar.

>>28717109
See above. Gliscor WOULD be reasonable as a bug type. Plenty of Pokemon would be reasonable as types that they aren't.

But not in any fucking universe would this fucking dog be reasonable as a rock type. Fighting, Normal, Dark, maybe even Psychic or Fire or fucking Fairy because it's a mythcal creature. But not fucking Rock.

Yellow is a color of fire, faggot. Its fur tufts also resembles fire much more than Vulpix's, and have orange tips.

Temper temper, Anon. You're letting the environment get to you.

But if you want a discussion, then okay. Lycanroc has some rocks on its body. It's not obvious at first glance, no, but we can deduce that its claws could possibly be made of rock, and it has a rock spike in its hair and at its waist. This could give it the bare minimum it needs to be considered a rock type.

In addition to this, it's possible that its rocky nature could lean more towards its abilities than its actual body. You could possibly consider the idea that maybe it just has rock elemental capabilities. An emphasis in geokinetic capability.

It's also possible that its body could be harder and sturdier, with a body that could be coated in a plethora of minerals. This in itself giving it its 'Rock' nature. This means that it might not be made of actual rock, but be in tune with the element itself.

But all we really know is that at its base, this son of a bitch is rocking our world right now, and not in a gneiss way.

Are you honestly trying to say that Tyranitar is immediately recognizable as being made of rock without being told he is a rock type? Holy shit, you're retarded.

But it's still possible they could be, and that the hair spike and things attached to its side are meant to be seen as rocks.

That's fine, Anon. I'd rather be a Game Freak apologist who can understand how to appreciate a Pokemon for what it is and go 'oh, that's neat' without blowing a gasket over minor, nonsensical things.

There comes a point where you really do need to realize that it's just a cartoony monster in a kids game about collecting more monsters.

Just sit back and enjoy the ride. Have a little fun and don't take such stuff so seriously

But Anon, Groudon isn't even a Fairy type, nor doesn't have anything in its design to potentially make it be so. You're comparing two completely different instances here.

It's quite a bit of insane troll logic, you know?

>That's why moondog is a bad design.
But Moondog has the brown-colored hair spike and the rocks at its side. It has the bare minimum to be considered what it is.

In real life plants mimic bugs too fucktard, for the purposes of baiting pollinators. In Lurantis' confusing-ass case it lures bugs... to eat them? Whilst at the same time they say it stands still to look like a flower yet it a flower that has evolved to look more like a bug that looks like a flower?? Yet it is a type that is weak to bugs? It's just a giant mindfuck however you try to rationalise it.

Official site: Lurantis draws opponents near to itself with its flowerlike appearance'

This makes no fucking sense. If it was a Bug type then it is of note that it has a flower-LIKE appearance yet in actuality it IS a grass type (essentially a flower) so why is noted it looks like a flower. It should have been pure bug or bug/fairy. However you try to slice it gamefreak haven't succesfully pulled off a 'bait and switch' concept they have just given it the wrong fucking type for the concept. Unless ypu really want to argues that is a plant that looks like a bug that looks like a plant which is fucking stupid.

And in pokemon world where grass and bug are weak to two of the same types whilst covering none of the other's qeaknesses, how exactly would being a bug-weak-grass-type luring in bugs help it survive? Its luring in something that is strong against it. Muh survival.

Its concept and 'flower-like' appearance only work if it is a Bug type pretending to be Grass to lure other bugs and Grass types before fucking them over.

But if the bug type didn't know, Lurantis could get a surprise attack on it and capture it.

In the long run, you're putting too much stock in the game mechanics, and aren't thinking more along the lines of 'these are living creatures doing living creature things'

You aren't differentiating between gameplay and story/world segregation.

It's not a flower pretending to be a bug. It's a carnivorous plant that has evolved a mantis-like appearance for reasons unrelated to mimicry. Get it through your head.

Also, neutral moves exist and it would probably mostly lure Weedles and things like that.

I was presuming prey. In any case it is the 'flower-like appearance' that is more pertinent because why fucking note it looks flower like if it is in fact a flower? If you took the exact same description but applied it to a hypothetical Bug type lurantis, it makes perfect sense. As is, it makes none.

Are you telling me that typing has no bearing on ecology in pokemon world because that is bullshit- unless it gets a hidden ability that trashes bug types then it's fucking stupid to think in the world it hunts and eats them whilst in battle it gets trounced.

What are we even arguing anymore.

I'm trying to say it would have worked better as a pure bug or Bug/Fairy (aromas and crypsis seem pretty fairy like to me) playing the orchid mantis theme straight, rather than trying to be some kind of triple bluff that doesn't make sense. If its simply a carnivorous plant why has it evolved very specifically to look like a mantis? Especially given if it's prey is bug types- then it makes even less sense to evolve to look bug like- effectively inviting the challenge of other bugs that would win by type advantage.

It also doesn mention it actually hunting, only 'downing opponents'. It isn't an unreasonable assumption to assume this is euphemistically referring to prey and given that flowers lure in bugs by scent in real life (and in pokemon i.e. heracross) it isn't a huge leap to assume it is luring in bugs.
Consider this alternative: it is a bug type that lures in other bugs by pretending to be a plant and emiting a tasty aroma. Would this not be preferable?

I come back and all you could come up with is a regurgitation of the same shit.

By your logic Groudon could be a fairy type because you could reason that its features that look nothing like cotton candy could be construed as such. Same applies to this dog and his "rocks".

I already fucking explained this. You can't call those rocks because they look just like his hair, which clearly isn't rock. At least all of tyranitar's armor is solid, none of it is fluff, so clearly it's all some kind of hard material.

You're the same as the idiots who use the "steel spike" excuse for Lucario. It isn't enough.
