good job, Gamefreak
These are usually pretty stupid but this one takes the cake. Fiddler crabs look like that and are that color in real life. Praying mantises are that color in real life but scyther is more like a dinosaur anyway. Starfish look like that. I'm begging you guys to please open a book about animals sometime, hell even an issue of Zoo Books would increase your knowledge of Biology and Ecology severalfold.
>>57199749pokemon arent animal
>>57199749>Starfish look like thatNo, starfish don't have an eye/gem looking thingy in the middle of ther side up body. Most of what you said is true though.Anyway when you look at gen 1 designs its clear they definitely looked at existing games so they could have 1 mon/line per videogame enemy trope, and then designed them in their own style. This is both for them to be familiar enough with kids/teens at the time and to reduce the need to come up with their own ideas. So its not like they directly stole from sonic/DQ/Etc but they definitely knew what they were doing and that's why there's always a 1 - 1 with other games.
Nobody tell this guy about Nidoran
>>57199715Woah, I didn't know SEGA invented bugs, crabs and starfish.
>>57199845>Are the fauna of their world>Are inspired by our world’s faunaThey’re like animals, cope and seethe schizo
>>57199885Post every 1:1 from gen 1
>>57199715Conclusion: Someone should make a drawing of Scyther, Kingler and Staryu meeting Slicer, Shellcracker and Asteron.
