/vp/ - Pokémon » Thread #36242184

A bunch of retarded newfags literally just learned Venusaur is based on a frog even though Sugimori confirmed it years ago and its Chinese name is literally "wonderful frog flower" and are now pretending it isn't also based on a dinosaur just because they just learned it's based on a frog.

It's sad, but they'll acknowledge that Venusaur is based on something still living sooner or later.

What's up with people using any name except the japanese one to prove something about anything in this series?

What's up with people arbitrarily pretending certain things don't count because it doesn't fit their argument?

/vp/ is a shithole of a board, when there's nothing to talk about people invent shit like starter wars or venusaur or whatever to spam about

making a whole board for just pokemon has always been a dumbass idea, shit like this is what happens when there's not enough real conversation material to carry a board

I don't care about this insipid argument about frogs and dinosaurs.
But the only name that matters is the japanese one, not the localized name from (insert country here)

And Bulbasaur's English name means "bulb" and "dinosaur." Because it's a bulb creature that vaguely resembles a reptile.

See? There you go doing it again.

Patternfags need Venusaur to be something extinct.
>>36242204
It doesn't have ANY features common to dinosaurs. It just has generic monster stuff like claws.

What a retard, not even worth arguing with anymore.
>lol I'm right it's a frog
I don't care about what thing a mon is based on so fine you're right, feel better? And btw I'm not whoever was arguing with you about frog vs dinosaur.

Shut up, Slowbro is so obviously a hermit crab as the translators clearly labelled it as one.
