>>54287231>just a regular bug Pokemon that are “just animals” have been a thing before and after Gen2. And that doesn’t really even apply to Heracross since it’s anatomy is changed to more upright with just enough anthropomorphism to allow it to do fighting stance to justify its typing
>with a happy faceIt’s not a happy face, it’s part of the exoskeleton that connects the horn to the body,
>is a stag beetle when a monster stag beetle pokemon already existed in the first genWhy shouldn’t Gen 2 have its own beetle. If anything actually making it’s own beetle instead of “leaning on Kanto” should be an example of Gen2 doing something right
>is fighting type for some reasonIt’s a Fighting beetle, Pinsir is the weird one for not being fighting type
>hate how these straight up replaced pinsir with this lame ass thingI hate how the majority of Gen2 dex got fucked over in their own generation and several years afterwards because they were stucking playing second string to GenWun and whenever a Gen2 Pokémon isnt a joke mon, a worthless baby, powercrept into shitmon hell, or an abject shitmon since inception, and is actually treated with some respect by Game Freak/TPC brainlets still manage some other excuse to bitch.
Whether or not Heracross “replaced” Pinsir is irrelevant, Heracross will get Trosky-ed along with the rest of Gen. whenever the next KANTOOO remake comes along.
