Japan use kuma/guma (the word for bear) to refer to a lot of mammals, Zigzagoon and Linoone's names are basically "zig-zagging/straight raccoon bear"

Yeah, god forbid they make creative evolutions instead of just making the pokemon bigger

I've wanted a dark type badger for so long. And it's a fucking form variant of an existing Pokemon. And a stupid pop culture reference that doesn't even make sense with the region. They have the gall to call THIS the original and true Zigzagoon? Fuck that noise.

Designing an entirely new set of Pokémon to evolve into Obstagoon was too much work. We recolor Zigzagoon and Linoone models instead.

Small, indie company. Please understand.

Or a remora evolving into an octopus. Or a squirrel into a ferret. Or a chimp into a macaque. Or a dove into a pheasant. Or...

Zigzagoon and Linoone are not just raccoons but also tanuki as well (known as raccoon dogs in the west). These Pokemon, along with Obstagoon, are named Jigzaguma (zigzag + guma), Massuguma (massugu, or straight ahead + guma), and Tachifusaguma (tachifusagu, to block or obstruct + guma). Guma in Japanese can mean either アライグマ araiguma (raccoon) or 穴熊 anaguma (badger).

So Game Freak had some fun with Obstagoon and its Galarian pre-evolutions and made them resemble badgers to go with the punk theme. Even though they are raccoons, their punk aesthetic and fur coloration make them resemble badgers now.

So it being classified as Zigzagoon is your problem? Literal autism

They made a duck evolve into a swan. Yeah, it's a reference to that story but it's not unheard of in Pokémon.

Pokemon aren't based of a single animal. Zigzagoon and Linoone were always also partially based off badgers, In the german name all evolutions including the new one have "badger" in their name

Unless that language is Japanese, it doesn't matter retard. It's not a German series, so the German name isn't canon.
