>>57244378More like riot control, but instead of water loaded with pepper spray

>>57244428Rai means thunder (Raijin, Raikou, Raiden).
>>57244466It is a combination of Argentina (The Town on no map, Apricorn Forest), Chile (Misterious mountain, Jessie's mother died here), Peru (Underground Lake, Ancient ruins), Costa Rica (Mistery zone), and southern Mexico (Undersearuins), while Brazil and Guyana are portrayed as a gigantic jungle.

>>57244364this is cool, although i still feel like tinkatink could've been axed from the line
>>57244600I forgot to mention Split Earth, which represents the Colca Canyon in Peru, it is full of fossils and to the north are the Nazca lines.
>>57244418>>57244428>>57244515Chu comes from チューチュー (chūchū), the onomatopoeia for the squeaking of a mouse.Rai comes from 雷 (read as kaminari by itself and rai when part of other words). It translates to thunder, same as the move name, but thunder is the sound caused by lightning so it implies the presence of lightning.Pika comes from ピカピカ (pikapika) which is the onomatopoeia for twinkling.Goro comes from ゴロゴロ (gorogoro), which is a heavy rumbling sound like from thunder clouds.Also in Japan, there's a set of three Sanrio characters known as Goropikadon (ゴロピカドン). They're three little oni named Goro, Pika, and Don from the Land of Thunder, and this is back when the oni style involved wearing yellow furs with black stripes, which is part of the design inspiration for Electabuzz. You can also see it in the characters of Urusei Yatsura. In case you were wondering where the don comes from in this name, it's an onomatopoeia often used in Japanese to indicate heaviness, a thump, boom, or impact, and it appears in Japanese Pokémon names like Lizardon (Charizard) and Sidon (Rhydon) to denote their size and heaviness.
>>57244569That does not look official in any way in the slightest. Bird details are all wrong.
>>57244618>GoropikadonIt's just a coincidence, but they fit together like the male Kami, one controlling the thunder, another the wind, and the third as leader or guardian.
>>57244618>Pika comes from ピカピカ (pikapika) which is the onomatopoeia for twinkling.It also means electric
>>57244680No it doesn't. In terms of etymology, it probably comes from 光 (hikari; light)ひかり (hikari)ぴか (pika)They do a thing in the anime around DP where Dawn (whose Japanese name is Hikari) gets called Pikari because of how she and her hair twinkled after being zapped by Plusle and Minun when she was younger.Words revolving around electricity tend to include 電 (でん; den), and more often then not, the onomatopoeia used for characters who have been zapped by electricity is ビリビリ (biribiri), which implies a tingling.
>>57244749You're wrong
>>57244815https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ぴかぴかhttps://jisho.org/word/ピカピカ
>>57244868Wikipedia is not a authority on Japanese languageLook man we're all autists here but give us some credit every person on the planet even villagers in brazil know that Pikachu is the Electric Mouse Pokemon unless you want to be that annoying kid in school going um aaaaaaaaactually miss mendez the sky isnt always blue it turns black at night
>>57244346>>57244353>>57244364insightful
>>57244378called Skuntank because the spray nozzle is shaped like a tank's cannon
>>57244418>>57244618pika is an actual real life rodentpikachu is named from that
>>57244437ah
>>57244749And by a powerful coincidence (Or Atsuko is a liar) there is a relative of the rabbit who lives in the mountains and can predict the weather with its behavior, whose call sounds like this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVaR4-ML4VU
>>57244346Do people not know this one?>>57244353Coincidence.>>57244364Actually I didn't notice thise one. Nice.>>57244411Fucking obviously.>>57244437No.>>57244467The antennae looking like eyes is literally the entire point. Who doesn't know this one.
>>57244890Pikachu is the Mouse Pokémon (ねずみポケモン; nezumi pokemon)https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pokémon_categoryIts name Pikachu (ピカチュウ; Pikachū) comes from ピカピカ (pikapika) + チューチュー (chūchū). Pikapika means twinkling/glittering/sparkling and is derived from hikari, meaning light. It does not mean electricity in the same way those words do not mean electricity, even if you may be able to associate those words with electricity. Everybody believing something doesn't make it so, nor does someone saying "dude trust me" make them the authority on the Japanese language. Pikapika isn't an obscure word in Japanese. Do you want a Japanese NHK dictionary link, maybe a screenshot from rikaikun or Yomichan?>>57244934>>57244923Could be a factor or could be coincidence.
>>57244437Fucking love thisTo add to the thread, Vullaby and Mandibuzz use the skull and the nandible of the same head

Gigantamax Eternatus is made up of the same pieces that form Eternatus
>>57245393incorrect
>>57244422that's the same letter>>57244437...dear god
>>57244467the pokedex literally says they're eye spots.that's why it has intimidate.>>57244815>>57244890Dunning-Kruger moment.Dude clearly knows japanese.
>>57245182everyone knows that
>>57245393you're thinking of necrozma
>>57245478>>57245421no he's right. it's eternatus too, the only difference is the head frills become thick fingers. everything else just spreads out or rearranges.kind of makes terropagos the odd one out.
Why is this horse showing me his asshole?

The mane around the horn is heart-shaped
The "tie" is arms
Mr. Mime was probably never supposed to have red circles on its cheeks and fingertips. Someone messed up down the pipeline. In reality Mr. Mime is pushing on an invisible wall in this depiction so it just looks like that
>>57245022Just like "everyone believing your religion doesn't make it true."
>horizontal and vertical line representing the interwoven fabric of space-time>diagonal lines signifying that the laws of both don't really apply to giratina
>>57245209
>>57245151Yeah an abstract bird, not a literal bird. The wings aren't even on the same ring as the original. If you have to completely mutilate and rearrange a pokemon to make it look like something, then it isnt.
>>57245494Run, that's an attack!
>>57245572>>57245580I doubt that wasn't the intention
>>57245572>>57245580>>57246123For the original 151, the sprites came first, then Suigmori came along and unified them via actual art, so anon's guess that the dots in the sprite could be pressure marks holds some weight
>>57245022>>57244618>>57244749Pikachu was originally one of these thingsI think "Pikas" being an actual thing is a coincidence
>>57244346
>>57244934God, animals making noises always looks so weird. Have you ever seen a crazy person or remember the special ed kids? How they just fucking make sounds for no reason. Animals always making sounds looks and sounds exactly like that.
>>57245209No, it’s a campfire. It’s more obvious in game
>>57245572Just to add to that, the original Primeape sprite, portrays it as a literal explosion, with bits flying around. But then, when the art was done, it portrayed it with just spikey fur. The same goes foelr Graveler and Golem. Thwir original sprites portray them with just four arms each, two of which Golem uses to stand on, no legs at all. But then, Sugimori gave Graveler an extra st of legs and maflde Golem's second pair of arms legs as well. Hence the limb discrepancy in the line.
>>57246652>Their original sprites portray them with just four arms each, two of which Golem uses to stand on, no legs at all. But then, Sugimori gave Graveler an extra set of legs and made Golem's second pair of arms legs as well.What the fuck? Fuck you, Sugimori. No wonder shit made no sense.
>>57244618Same for Groudon, the former heaviest Pokemon.
>>57245209>>57246563you're both retardedit's a loot bagthe fucking thing is a thief
>>57246652Huh, so that's why Golem lost a toe between generations.
>>57244943Alright smartass
These threads are always cool until some autist comes in and starts crying about how their headcanon is better than some other headcanon.

The tails of Tepig's line represent bomb detonation
>>57246784>Loot bagLMAOIt's a sand pocket for storing extra pocket sand to make quick getaways and use as a weapon when full.

Unironic SOVL thread.
>>57248858So cool
>>57245209why is he wearing boots on the front legs?
>>57248858its so ugly
>>57244437Ohhhhh. That's neat!
>>57248858ah
>>57244353My favorite detail is that all 4 of them are weak to fighting.
>>57246652Its fur still just looks spiky, but it does appear more like an explosion in the RG sprites. I'm surprised they didn't give it Explosion or Selfdestruct.
