Is the bellsprout line carnivorous or do they photosynthesise?
>>57155240I imagine they'd be carnivorous, just like pitcher plants in real life.
>>57155240carnivorous pokemon.do not exist. They all canonically only eat berries.
>>57155240Imagine taste of THIS in your mouth...
>>57155240People say THIS looks better than gen 4 and 5??
>>57155297anon im with you but... not in a completely unrelated thread...
>>57155255There seems to be a lot of Solana love lately.
>>57155300Sorry, I'm retarded
>>57155249>t.doesn't play the games
>>57155392https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pokémon_predationThere's an entire section for this
>>57155396Holy shit, thanks for that. I've been fascinated by this topic for a long time, so its nice to see a dedicated article for it.
>>57155297the first ranger game is really ugly, probably one of the ugliest pre-3d pokemon games lol
>>57155240Both. Just because it's carnivorous doesn't mean that meat is it's sole form of energy. Pitcher Plants and Venus Fly Traps both still use photosynthesis in real life.
>>57155255Fuck...
>>57155240Hey look!
>>57155557this, their ability to derive protein and other nutrients from bugs just allows them to thrive in really poor soils where other plants can't establish themselvesit's like rice, it doesn't really need to be partially submerged but it sure takes out many of the competing weeds
>>57155540i thought these were rpgmaker default assets until I read your post
>>57155240Both depending on the evolutionary stage and what is available>Bellsprout has dex entries making reference to absorbing water from the soil and it's carnivorous nature eating small bugs>All of the Pokemon have an appendage that can access the ground and leaves to absorb CO2 and even have the Chlorophyll ability>Weepinbell and Victreebel eat much larger prey and are themselves larger and stronger implying a greater necessity to rely on a carnivorous diet but wouldn't be above using Photosynthesis if possible/had more of an advantage than actively seeking preyI'd imagine Bellsprout mostly uses that dank sunlight and occasionally picks off smaller insect mon, Weepinbell would have like a 60:40 split towards eating small prey and Victreebel mostly relies on a carnivorous diet.
>>57155240Silly OP, plants don't eat animals, animals eat plants. Silly OP
