/vp/'s favorite pokemon btw
>>58873543scyther line is probably the perfect exemple of how the design philosophy of Pokemon has changed over time>scyther: speak monstrous designs with defined joints and muscle definition. encapsulated the more naturalistic and detailed approach to Pokemon design from gen 1>scizor: smoother and more artificial looking, clearly designed to be more dynamic both for the sake of merch and animation while still having that "too cool for you" energy fron the early 2000s that characterized gen 2 to 4>kleavor: feel more like a character than a creature due to its human facial hair and man made tools instead of claws. Was designed to fit specifically in the game/region it was introduced in which cause it to stick out a lot when it show up in another one wich is a strength and weakness shared by most mons from gen 5 to 9

do you guys think the flying type fits Scyther thematically?if flying type was a "wind type" then it sure would've but I think Scyther would be cooler as a mono bugeven competitively speaking, if you were to buff X-Scissor to be a bug type Leaf Blade and give Scyther Sharpness I think the new mono-bug Scyther might have some edge over the current version
>>58881054Wind type definitely fits. Annoyning you that you can't even teach him Fly...

>>58873595Such a shit design compared to Scyther.

>Dex number #123yeah, he's based.
>>58882201>>58892814Robbed of the gift of flight
>>58893403Flying type doesn't even fit it. Even as early as Stadium points out it isn't much of a flier. Scyther matches mono Bug or Bug/Normal more appropriately
>>58893874>Bug/Normal
>>58877411Yes, but unironically.
>>58893874>Flying type doesn't even fit it.>Even as early as Stadium points out it isn't much of a flier.Scyther has bigger wings than most bird Pokemon. Galarian Zapdos aka a roadrunner (depicted running everywhere) can learn Fly despite gimpy wings. Doduo/Dodrio DOESN'T EVEN HAVE WINGS and can learn Fly.Bravo Gamefreak.
