>>59091593I wanna honk his nose
>>59091596Just looked them up after seeing your comment and they might be favorite artist from GF?>>59091598So true. Would it also make a xylophone sound?
>>59091593
>>59091593They should have made Mega Kricketune and gave him a Rillaboom drummer in the background
>>59091593Love these guys, just hate the English localization calling them crickets.
>>59092310What else could they be?
>>59092310That's... what they are. They're very obviously supposed to be crickets.
>>59091593Very kickable
>>59091598Now that you mention nose it almost looks like he has two of them
>>59093350I learned something today
>>59093335>>59093350Do people not realize it's suppose to be a violin beetle, hence the body shaping resembling the instrument. Whoever named them obviously didn't get the implication and called them crickets.
Wish it was actually good
>>59096062>violin beetleI've never heard of that species before.>It is native to Southeast Asia.Oh.
>>59091593He cute
>>59096062If they wanted it to be named after this, then it should've been named after a beetle instead of コロトック https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%90%E3%82%A4%E3%82%AA%E3%83%AA%E3%83%B3%E3%83%A0%E3%82%B7https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%B3%E3%82%AA%E3%83%AD%E3%82%AEKricketot is closer but still uses the Koro-prefix コロボーシ so at best it's a combination of both for thematic reasons and the Cricket theming fits the both of them better than the Beetle theming. Either the artist just let someone else name their Beetle mon after Crickets, or they designed a Cricket, a bug known for its chirps and themed after instruments and musicians
>>59096142Would it really be that surprising that whoever was the initial concept artist either didn't finalize the design and/or didn't name it? I had forgotten that the Japanese name had this error but look at Kricketune's body shape and tell me it doesn't resemble tbe beetle with it oval shaping and long, thin neck.
>>59091593>He’s just a babynot a baby pokemon
>>59098113He looks like he could be one, though!
>>59098113He’s my baby
>>59098089cozy
>>59091593I wish Game Freak liked it as much as I do
>>59091593OP here. Just met him in Pokopia. My little guy :’)
>>59096142>Either the artist just let someone else nameerm... yes, that's how it works.That's why the concept arts of the Alola starters had them called Owl 3, Tiger 3 and Seal 3.The design come just like that. Name, type, category, dex entries, everything else is decided by different people, so that's why using anything but the design itself to guess the concept can be misleading.
>>59099156aww

>>59091593This looks like a charming little character from a children's cartoon about various forest creatures and forest spirits solving quaint little mysteries.This does not look like a pokemon.I say this with no hate in my heart.
>>59120195Put him in the next Mystery Dungeon game
>>59120195>This does not look like a pokemon.People thought it was a Volbeat/Illumise prevo when it was first shown.
>>59121725also dont look like pokemon.i say this with hate in my heart
>>59120195Everytime someone says something doesn’t look like a Pokemon they can never elaborate properly
