Dragon Quest-ass pokemonand that's a good thing
my ace in netbattle
>>58284355>wanted to use gligar in crystal>that fucking movepoolWhat the FUCK
Gligar imo is a quintessential pokemon. Its design is the perfect amount of weird, cool, and cute. It doesn't have a job and it doesn't look like a man in a fur suit. Its just a monster and its great.
>>58284366fuck, I haven’t thought about netbattle in 20 years
ground flying type is an oxymoron
>>58284384Get Earthquake Gligar from Stadium 2
>>58284385yeah, it's a bat that's also a scorpion and also happens to look like a little imp. you'd think trying to blend these three completely unrelated elements together would make for a busy and/or nonsensical design but somehow, they did it perfectly
>>58284753it's actually not any of those things but instead an extremely weird flying-lobster-thing yokai called amikiri
>>58284811>it's actually not any of those thingsnigga, it has bat wings, pincers and a scorpion tail. even if gligar was inspired by the amikiri, it still looks like a scorpion bat, yes?
>>58284355Indeed
>>58284355needs a prevo
>>58284753>>58284811It's a facehugger you morons. Here's the beta design. Gligar's japanese name is Gliger. Gliger is one letter away from Giger as in the artist that created AlienPokemon Gold dex entry: It flies straight at its target's face then clamps down on the startled victim to inject poison.
>>58284957>Oh no! My pokémon has more than one inspiration
>>58284957I'm guessing the origin of the tongue comes from sugimori misinterpreting that open mouth as a tongue sticking out
>>58284355Yet another reason why Gold is better than Silver
>>58284445>literally have to beat all of stadium 2lol
>>58285422why are misinterpretations so common at gf?
>>58284957>NOOOO IT WAS INSPIRED BY THIS YOKAI/GIGER'S FACEHUGGER SO THAT MEANS YOU CAN'T CALL IT A SCORPION BAT CHIMERA EVEN THOUGH THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE AIIIIIEEEEEEEEwhy are you chucklefucks like this?
>>58286600Time crunch, shitty 90s CRT monitors, and that sprite being the only depiction of the mon they had because they make the sprites without concept art
>>58284355I like dragon quest but most of their designs are garbage.monsters should be either cute or badass, not goofy memes
>>58286716>goofy memesRetard? Underaged? Or both, maybe?
>>58286716>BadassQuarter in the jar, faggot
Cule (cute and cool)
