Stop that

This motherfucker's pretty cool. I don't think I ever saw him in game or the anime movie, though. So I only know him from the pokedex.

Good thread, my favorite type.
>>58310685
It's my favorite way to play Radical Red. I stopped playing at gen 7 and getting to use the new bugs added since was a lot of fun. Golisopod, Araquanid, Rimbombee, and Lokix all bacame favorites thanks to these runs.

Beedrill is so misunderstood. Poor thing gets treated like the big bad guy in the anime when in reality it's only protecting the vulnerable Kakuna from anyone and everyone that trespasses into its territory. How many times have we seen Beedrill get zapped or attacked in some way when they weren't even looking for a fight in the first place. :(

I love Armaldo so much, but I am so mad that Game Freak choose one of the worst dual types ever for him. Also I don't see him often in bug threads...
>>58314156
Drapion is my favorite Poison type!

>>58314198
>Rock/Bug is one of the worst dual types ever
Huh?

>>58314263
Ok now that I think of it, I definitely was wrong. Separetely, these two types kinda suck but together they have some synergy because they cancel each other weaknesses.
But on the other hand, being walled by Steel, weak to Water, weak to Stealth Rocks, and only resisting Normal and Poison, it kinda drags it down a little bit.
I kinda underrated his double type, but I think it is his awful Speed that made me pessimistic about it.

I'd personally also consider the Trapinch and Gligar lines as honorary bugs. They're not Bug-type, but they're based on insects and they're in the Bug egg group. Aaron, the Bug-type E4 member in Sinnoh, even uses a Flygon on one of his rematch teams in BD/SP.

Back when I was a kid (as early as kindergarten age), my biggest fixation were insects and above all else, Lepidopterans, alongside Pokémon. I had a butterfly net with which I'd catch wild ones to identify and let go (wide-brimmed hat and shorts included, yes), an ant farm, a terrarium, we raised stickbugs we'd steal from the zoo, I cried when I watched Nausicaa and they took away her caterpillar thing, my first card ever was a Nincada, etc. I even drew myself and my mom as a caterpillar and butterfly respectively in most of my drawings - hell, I'm pretty sure I'm a Wurmple in one of them. And don't get me wrong, throughout the years I've expanded my interests beyond just entomology and I've had favorite Pokémon from throughout all types. But with my 23rd birthday just around the corner I can't help but reminisce about how much fun it was to get to experience having these two passions side-by-side as a kid and how much I'd love to pickup either, or both, again. I don't see nearly as many butterflies in my city as I used to, but maybe I'll move to someplace else and dust off my net.
tl;dr they really should print more bug pokemon or come up with some archetype for them in the TCG so i can actually play with them outside of showdown
