Route 1 shitmon
>>55770166That gen 6 route 1 rodent evo has got to be the most disgusting pokemon design I've ever seen
>>55770220Rabbits aren't rodents

>>55770166The HM mule/slave, early route rodent, the Youngster's Ace. But some if them have strong abilities and have nice utility. Beabarrel's Simple, Diggersby's Huge Power, Trump's Strong Jaw, Furret's Tidy up and Linoone's Pick up.
Regional Rodent was the main name for a while, same with the bugs, birds and Pikaclones that go on even now with Wattrel, Tarountula/Nymble and Pawmi. Some people call them mammals instead because Bunnelby, and Lechonk only further presses that narrative long-term.Of all the traditions in the series, said groups has remained consistent every time since the beginning. Hell, the group ITT is so prevalent there's a Dark-type spinoff of sorts every now and then with others like Poochyena, Purrloin, Alolan Rattata and Nickit.
>>55770287linoone also has guts which is kinda great
>>55770356>wattrelwattrel isn't a regional bird, paldea doesn't have one - it uses fletchling and rookidee. wattrel shows up significantly later, when you get to the coasts. it's more like wingull, just an early game mon that happens to be a bird.
>>55770166Regional Rodent/Mammal
>>55770166>Thinking Lechonk broke the cycle of early route rodents-esque trope>When Shroodle & Tandemaus are right fucking thereLechonk is the accompanying basic "just an animal" that's clearly not a rodent, akin to Lilipup/Litleo/Rockruff/WoolooNot so based retards
>>55770166Early Filler, specially if Normal type
>>55770240Neither are racoons, mongooses or ferrets
>>55770166Route 1 Critters
>>55770487shroodle and grafaiai are primates. closer to rodents than bunnelby i guess? tandemaus is too high concept to be a regional rodent though, it's not a filler mon. paldea just doesn't have one imo, they skip these kinds of things sometimes, like how sinnoh has no regional bug. no, burmy does not count.
>>55770166Cute Cute Cute God Okay Cute Trump Ugly
>>55770166Kings
>>55770166Route 1ner
>>55770166>Raticate, Furret, Linoone, Bibarel, Watchog, Diggersby and Gumshoos all had BST around 410-420 range.>Greedent and later have 460+Souless.....
>>55770166really don't get the point of them. i mean like...nobody picks them other than HM slaves. Sure some of them are cute but still, would you ever catch one?
Literally me
>>55770166Second partner pokemon
>>55770356 paldea doesn't have a regional bird.
>>55770751An early game replacable team filler. Not every pokemon is going to be strong. Raticate and friends are supposed to fall off at a certain point.
>>55770166rodents
>>55770370>wingull and pelipper are found before, and appear on routes far more often, than taillowWingull is the gen 3 regional bird and I'm tired of pretending it's not
niggersby
>>55770751i think the idea is just that you're meant to use them early-game and pick something else up later, and that's about all there is to them but normal is my favorite type so they're more than that to me, i'm a huge zigzagooner.
>>55770166>Mediocre, would be forgotten if not for KANTOOOO>Cute>Cute>A bit silly but acceptable>Crime against nature>Not great but acceptable, better than Rattata but not as good as Bidoof>Made Alola Great Again (also good)>Fine, better than Bidoof but not as good as Yungoose
>>55770166early route regional mammals
>>55770166i call 'em "rattata-likes" but many call them "route one/early route normal type"
>>55770166You can really see the pokemon between each of the gens
>>55770558That's why I said rodent-esque, Shroodle is a bait & switch on the trope. Whereas Tandemaus is absolutely a filler mon, they're literally generic mice that have no other attribute(s) other than the fact that mice breed like crazy. Either one can work so unless GF says otherwise morons like you will continue being wrong.Also,>Sinnoh has no regional bugThe what the fuck is picrel doing in Sinnoh's first Route?
>>55770166Based
>>55770751I would never go without one
Not sure about the others, but this lil nigga is an early powerhouse in Gen 1. Genuinely really good up until the 5th badge, at which point you're better off going with Tauros, Snorlax or Persian.
>>55770844Yea Wingull is so much more prevalent than Tailow so I’m surprised people call Tailow the regional bird. It’s even available earlier
>>55771842oh fuck i really forgot about that little guy i'm so sorry kricketot :(>tandemaus is absolutely a filler monit absolutely is not, don't mistake a simple design for a simple concept. it's not just an amimal, the focus for its design is on the family aspect, not the mouse aspect. it's more like a set of dolls than a rodent, it even has clothes. that's not even mentioning the multiple forms or the entirely unique evolution method. by design the concepts behind regional rodents aren't this robust, they're supposed to be the quintessential "this is just an animal" mons. it's like saying doduo is kanto's regional bird because it's normal/flying.i still don't agree on shroodle because grafaiai is more than just a lemur but i can let you have that one because it sort of works.
>>55770287Greedent's Cheek Pouch combos really well with Stuff Cheeks to make it very hard to drop.It is a stupid good mon for a playthrough.Higher BST doesn't hurt either.
>>55770220just say you hate Normal types you racist cunt
>>55770270>THISEach of these species was considered vermin that needed to be eliminated.Rats because they carry diseases, prairie dogs because of the holes that caused problems for carts and horses, beavers because of the dams causing irrigation problems or flooding, rabbits because of their rapid reproduction and damage to crops, mongooses as harmful fauna introduced by man, Tanukis due to damage to farms, feral pigs.Although I don't know if squirrels have been eliminated en masse due to problems with human activities.I clarify that not all of them maintain this status since intensive hunting has led some of these species to extinction.
>>55770828>rival Blue makes this explicitly obvious with his raticate>it completely goes over player's heads and becomes a creepypasta kek. At least I think the message went through when they brought it back with Kieran's furret
>what are all these rats called? >and don't just say rats, real answers only!
>>55770256At least Gen II let Raticate learn Cut and Strength. Strength is a solid move in Gen II though since TMs mostly suck and Normal Stabs are quite potent
>>55770370regional bird is a fan term anyways. paldea doesn’t have a bird that appears on the first route.
wattrel is a regional bird
>>55772439it's a bird in the region
>>55770166onaholes
>>55770166Shit rats, randers, they're shit rats.
>>55770166Early-game rodents, I thinkMauscarriage is missing from this picture
>>55770844Except they had Ash catch the regional bird consistently until Gen 7 (even then Rowlet was a part of the regional birbs family)Taillow is the regional bird, Wingull is the Spearow to the Pidgey.
>>55771987Squirrels can cause lots of damage to insulation and electrical in particular
>>55770166Chuds. Zigzagoon was the best btw
>>55770166Shitmon
>>55774294> shitmonHate to break it to you but mauscarriage is actually op, I fucking hate that thing.
>>55774191>>55774306Maushold is not the early game mammal, Lechonk isYou can't get Maushold at the beginning, it starts appearing a bit later
>>55770360No it doesn't. Linoone has pickup, gluttony, and quick feet, which might be what you were thinking.
>>55774831Wooloo & Lilpup aren't rodents but are still earlygame encounters so Lechonk is in that category, while Maushold is available before your first badge so it actually counts as Paldea's.Fucking retard
>>55770166I'd say preymon, their job is to be eaten by other pokemon. Except the weasel.
>>55774902It's after the Pikaclone in the dex tho
>>55774902Almost every Pokémon is available before the first badge in Paldea, it's open world. That's completely meaningless.
