>>33455019>It's a Scyther first and foremost.I don't know why you keep bringing this up. It is an inane statement. We're discussing if it draws more inspiration from a mantis or a dinosaur.
>based on something != looks like something. It's also based on a dinosaur.True, but it clearly has strong mantis elements.
>You mean the most important part of the Pokemon?See my next point.
>Not really. And Scyther's face is reptilian, not humanoid.My point was that many Bug pokémon get faces that are more recognizable to us and are able to convey human emotions. Volbeat, Illumise, Burmy, Karrablast, Escavalier, Scyther, Scizor, Shuckle, Combee, Swadloon, Leavanny, Ribombee, Pheromosa, Armaldo and Dewpider all have faces that doesn't look arthropodian at all. Not to mention a shit ton of them have regular vertebrate eyes.
>Probably because I'm apparently the only one here who isn't a retard.Now this is why you're such an massive cocksucker, because you state that any other interpretation than Arvalis' is wrong.
