/vp/ - Pokémon » Thread #29260396

Up in the air, I was saying that they're counterparts like Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan, but someone pointed out there's an Ice Stone in S/M.

If it happens to be an evolution, I hope it's like Scizor where they have the same BST with different distribution and typing.

I hope it isn't. It does go pretty far from the whole competitive theme, in terms of looks, but it could be possible. Guess time will tell.

Japan had a fad about how kawaii yeti crabs are whenever they were discovered. Pretty sure sea angels are still far more popular though.

Sorry, mate. The colors, minus the white, are very Crabrawler.

Ice/Fighting is a new combo right? At least there's that.

I feel like it's a counterpart, since it looks too radically different.

If it's an evo, I hope it's at least like >>29260476 said, since Crabrawler looks too cool to be an unevolved and weak pokemon.

OP here. I was thinking it is too different of Crabrawler to be an evolution. I was thinking about they being counterparts, one found on the beach and the other on the icy mountain. But yeah, the ice stone makes sense, I remember seeing it on one of the last trailers.

If it is a line, it's made of entirely amazing concepts that somehow link together.Yeti crabs and Coconut crabs are both in the same group that contains hermit crabs and the like yet they're super different. Coconut crabs live on land and eat anything they can get their claws on, whereas yeti crabs live at the bottom of the ocean nearby hydrothermal vents and grow bacteria on their hairs and possibly scavenge. It's pretty neat that they used the yeti part of its name to change it into something different combined with crabrawlers love of climbing. Plus, all of the white fuzz makes it look even more like Hala.
Hala also uses crabrawler because coconut crabs are commonly found in tandem with two trees. Coconut palms and Panderus trees, known in hawaii as hala.

To top it off, Mauna Kea, the mountain that the in game icy one is based off of actually is the tallest mountain on Earth. Not highest, since everest goes higher, but the mountain had to elevate itself from the sea floor whereas Everest is on continental crust. Since yeti crabs are deep sea creatures, this means that even if it's completely a land crab in game, it implies that it's on the tallest mountain it could possibly climb, even taller than the Yeti's native Everest.

I just dont get it. Crabrawler already has a theme in being a boxer, why scrap that entirely to turn it into a yeti? Its such a huge change in concept.

I wouldnt put it past them, its just fucking weird.

Maybe they are counterparts. Maybe yeti crabs are Crabrawlers that climbed the mountain and had to adjust to live there. The same mountain where Ninetails and Sandslash had to adjust.

Dummy. Look at the hands, they're training pads that coaches use to help train boxers. Crabbrawler punches, Yeticrab defends. They have a student/teacher relationship.

it hasn't scrapped it and turned into a yeti. it continues it and turns into a yeti crab. the gloves turn into jab pads because it now teaches and trains the crabrawler how to fight. it's literally a coach for the younger ones, like a lot of older real life boxers do once they are out of the game.

There's a bigger overall theme; Competetion. Crabrawler uses the boxing motif to exemplify this, though it's mentioned in his info that they fight to compete for the highest elevation. Yetibrawler shows that he's quite literally reached his peak. I'm betting he has a gimmicky area-restricted evolution like Magnezone/Probopass/Leafeon/Glaceon/etc

Thank you based anons. I always liked Crabrawler, but I had some misgivings about Yeti Crab. These posts have really enamored me to the concept.

If you all guessed the lore 100% based on what we have, that just shows that Game Freak really struck gold with this design idea.

And, hey, at least we're getting one new Ice-type that isn't a redesign.

Holy shit, now it all makes sense now! Maybe the Yeticrab likes to live alone too like some hermit, but is willing to train those who find it?

>the Crabrawler species all know of the Yeticrab and willingly traverse the mountains in the hopes they can find one to train them
>since the Yeticrab happens to be jovial and friendly for a hermit, they agree to train any Crabrawlers that manage to find their hideout

It's definitely something you can't get right off the bat, so misunderstanding it is understandable.

What we should do now is make sure everyone understands what's going on with this line before shitting on Yetibrawler becomes a common occurrence.

Is anyone here as autist as me? My criterias for every team I make for the first run of a new game:

1. only new pokémon
2. type must not be repeated
3. the team must have a good color composition
4. at least one quadrupedal pokémon
5. at least two bipedal pokémon
6. at least one bird/flying pokémon
7. at least one pokémon that doesn't look like an animal

Not anymore with Ride being a thing but regardless, I will anyway.

I also like to very my pokemon roles. I hate having all physical or special attackers. I try to do a mix of both.

Why are people arguing over wether its an evolution or a counter part trainer
Why not both?
The older ones teach young crabrawlers how to fight because they used to be fighters themselves
