/vp/ - Pokémon » Thread #48915241

I might as well piggyback off of / revive this thread in one.

Has anyone ever compiled a list of all pokemon based on their real world species? So all the frogs in one category, all the snakes in another and so on, preferably with pics.

I've been thinking about doing this for myself but if there's a project like that already around that would save me the time.

No, they mean different things because they are different mental illnesses. "Autistic" is used in this case to refer to how obsessive and tedious the task is that no normal person would want to do it. "Schizo" would be used if you are saying something abhorrently unreasonable. Both terms have been used as insults for decades.

Don't suggest any form of ambiguity around here. I don't know if it's cognitive dissonance, stubbornness, autism, or what, but the anons on here HATE ambiguity. In their mind, there are no Pokemon based on mythological entities, cryptids, aliens, animal hybrids, objects, plants, or any combination thereof. All Pokemon are just cartoon animals. Full stop.

This is their autistic safe space, and we must uphold their right to enjoy Pokemon without straining their brain.

Um, I never argued for the contrary. I said there are autists who think that ALL Pokemon are just cartoon animals. You're obviously not that kind of autist but decided to defend them anyway, so I guess that's admirable.

Nidoran is a kaiju version of an almiraj, not a fucking rabbit, and is intentionally ambiguous. Nidoran's entire existence was literally designed to be an original creature created by Game Freak rather than being an analogue to an existing animal. People are just fucking stupid and think ears = rabbit.

It's just a smaller Baragon. Because Taijiri was a fucking hack and just aped things from Godzilla and Ultraman. Seriously, the entire concept is lifted right out of the Capsule Monsters from Ultra Seven.

Ironic how the few original designs like Venusaur and Blastoise are less popular than the DQ rip offs

While not true purring, bears and raccoons can make the same sounds. Since there is no way of actually looking at a bulbasaur it's equally fair to say that it makes those sounds the same way a bear does.

Other animals have pointed ears. Bats and red pandas immediately come to mind. Would it be fair to say that bulbasaur is based on a bat? No.

It has no cat like mannerisms mentioned in the pokedex, it has no relation to cat pokemon, and most of all, no developer has ever mentioned cats when talking bulbasuar.

Blastoise is clearly a tortoise on 2 legs. Which tortoises can do, they just don't move on two. I'm glad you brought blastoise up though because it has the exact same type of ears as bulbasuar. Would you say that blastoise is based on a cat in any way? I doubt it.

Just show me one source of any designer saying they took any amount of influence from a cat. It's that easy.

Just stop. Your arguments make no sense. By your logic, I can say bulbasaur is based on skeletons or airplanes. Yes, the possibility is open, but when you look at everything the developers have ever said and what it actually looks like it's clear that it's just based on a frog with a plant on it. I'm done responding to your ESL arguments.
