What about this thing is supposed to be "Normal"?
It's literally just my mom's turtle
>>56075495The Multitype thingLike Keckleon, Porygon, Arceus, TypeNull, Castform...
>>56075495The type.
shouldve been an ultra beast
>>56075521He's gray/white
>>56075495It panders to normies by being sold as DLC and toys.Serious answer, it's because neutrality, especially in context of Pokemon whose gimmick is all about changing into any type, is represented by the Normal type.>>56075522or a paradox, which are just ultra beasts under a new name
>>56075521Its a zombie/living corpseIf it didn't have a physical body, it would easily be mono Ghost
>>56075495Lots of Pokemon in the Normal type aren't "normal", they're just there because they don't fit into any other type.
>>56075524>He>50% female
>>56076629retarf
>>56076629"It" is the correct way to refer to any Pokémon regardless of its gender rates. There are some single-gender species in real life and we don't call the species "he" or "she" as if it is a single individual, a person no less.This whole brain damage comes from furries interpreting Pokémon as cartoon character designs, which unfortunately infected GF itself in newer gens
>>56075521it's a normal that ghosts
>>56076667yeah they call everything "it" in the anime or just don't use a pronoun at all. even trainers referring to their own mons which they would probably know the gender of.
>>56076667>>56076883Several characters in the franchise use gendered pronouns for their mons. Liko calls Sprigatito/Floragato "she", Arven always refers to his Mabosstiff as "he". Just to name two recent examples.It is pretty inconsistent, but they're definitely not exclusively using "it".
>>56075495It's a turtle. Turtles are pretty normal so long as they don't have water cannons on their back and don't live in sewers eating pizza.
>>56075495why does it look so shitty and stupid? it's a generic gem with limp tubes for limbs and even a head, with random ass stars all over it just cause. it's head is just bayleaf painted blue and autistic. I'm gonna design some pokemon and show you guys.
>>56077012That's its "normal" form. In battle, it's always in this form.
>>56076907Referring to a specific individual Pokémon with a gendered pronoun may be valid since people also do that with their pets irl, but referring to entire species in the abstact that way is never valid.
>>56075495Normal often represents balancing of types. See Tri-Attack and normal types having massive movepools. Or see how Magcargo is a Fire type even though it’s made out of Lava.
>>56075521she's so edgy it wraps back around to being regular
>>56075495Its lack of affinity for one thing over another.
>>56075498Your mom is a Nickelodeon character?
>>56075495It's normal in the same sense as Arceus or Ditto, "normal" is used as "neutral" here, as in "all-encompassing"
>>56075495Normal types fall into two categories:“It’s just a creature” (Lillipup, Raticate, Bibarel, most regional birds)“We couldn’t think of any other type to give this thing” (Porygon, Lickitung, Exploud, Regigigas)Terapagos falls into the former category.
>>56079133You mean the latter
>>56075495why was he forgotten so quickly?
>>56079584No sad backstory
>>56079108how the fuck did gamefreak greenflag this, tera is the worst shit they've ever pulled out
>>56079133Some mons are normal in the sense that normal = sound or noise. Hence Exploud, Drampa, Meloetta etc
>>56075495Better question: Why did they go out of the way to give it a 50/50 gender ratio, then lock the only one you can get as male? If they didn't want you to own a female version, why not do what they did with Ogerpon and just make it 100% male from the start, or keep it Gender Unknown?
>>56079584not feminine enough for redditors
>>56077125>Or see how Magcargo is a Fire type even though it’s made out of Lava.what is this supposed to fucking meanthere's no lava type
>>56080291>not feminine enoughHe's got a ponytail, earrings, sparkly eyes, and eyeshadow. What more do you want?
>>56080290Liko's turtle (which will be distributed in the future) is female
>>56080290Probably to drive home the point that the species is basically extinct and (You)r Terapagos is the last surviving specimen (also known as an "endling"), which means that it cannot reproduce. The species is thus functionally extinct. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be a reference to "Lonesome George", a male Pinta Island tortoise that was found to be the last of its species. He lived for about 110 years, of which he spent about 40 years in captivity as an endling.
>>56075524>>56075878This is also grey/white dead zombie with a physical body.It still only ghost.
>>56075521>make new designs? nah fuck that we're just going to change the colors of all the old ones insteadfuck regional variants. they were a mistake
