Do the bugs summoned by Infestation count as actual pokemon or are they just regular bugs?
>>59237464>regular bugsYou know regular animals don't exist in the pokémon world, right, you fucking retard?>but 25 years ago...Year, 25 years ago. That shit got reworked before you were even born, retard.
>>59237464They're magical bug-shaped particles of bug type energy
>>59237564Regular animals still exist. There's coral in SV's coastal biome.
>>59237653>implying those are even counted as animals when people don't even know they are>implying those aren't Corsola about to gain sapience>implying other animals still exist when this is literally the only sample you could come up with and it's a terrible one
>>59237564Retard
>>59237564>>59237666regular animals exist in the pokemon world, always have, they're just so irrelevant to the tone and message of the series that they aren't mentioned except in the existence of meat-based food and scant Pokedex references.
>>59237564psssh, nothin personal kid
>>59237666>doesn't count because I didn't know what a coral isLmao
>>59237670>>59237676>>59237686>NO NO NO I SWEAR THATThat you are wrong yes we know it. Deal with it.
>>59238321Don't care. It's fucking retarded just like eggs and shrinking.
>>59238321Uh huhThese aren't chicken eggs, they just happen to look exactly like them
>>59237464I new something was off with Brambleghast new Pocket card... The eyes should stay levelled with the ground
>>59237564>you can't bring up things the devs actually said and did>>59238321>but this is okaylmao faggot
>>59238387They're egg-shaped particles of normal energy created by Chansey.
>>59237564Thanks for derailing my thread faggot
>>59237464bugs made of energy
>>59238413They look more like Happiny eggs in terms of size
>>59237564Regular animals exist in the Pokémon world. We know from the leaked SM beta script that Ohmori wanted to actually elaborate on it in the games too.
They go into the anus
>>59237464bees
>>59238436My god.
>>59237564>posted it again award
>>59238387>there's no [animal] just [something similar to [animal]]Correct, that's the entire point.
>>59238586There isn't, though
>>59238431>there are regular animals! My source is an idea they changed and thus didn't become canon
>>59238409Post the devs saying regular animals exist in the pokemon world after gen 2, when they completely removed all that shit and went full fantasy world with pokemon replacing animals. Hell, post a source older than BW era (picrel >>59238321) or stfu
>>59238654Indian elephant
What pokemon are the paldeans eating here?
>>59238321That was a style guide. It's a document given to third parties working with the IP to get them up to speed on the basics of the work. It's not indicative of what's actually considered canon. Case in point, there was another page from that same booklet that said Pokémon don't die. Whereas we know for a fact in canon that they do. That guide was published during gen V, the same gen that had a graveyard for Pokémon and explicitly mentioned the death of one of Alder's Pokémon. And in the following generation, AZ's Floette was killed in a war that presumably killed countless others, as well as the fact that XY introduced Yveltal, the embodiment of death itself.tl;dr It's just telling toy manufacturers not to put stuff like>This Marowak is a master hunter that has killed hundreds of Pokémon and even some elephants
>>59238457
>>59238598Then how about what made it into the final games, like >>59237464>>59237653>>59237670And stuff like the butterflies in XY's battle backgrounds
>>59237624I hate that you are most probably right
>>59238416He answered your (idiotic) question, you wimp faggot.
>>59238436Clearly baby Combees
>>59238703rice with things
>>59238416>-are these real bugs or not?>+No, real bugs don't exist here.>-wow thanks for derailing my threadAre you retarded?>>59238598
>>59238703roasted clamperls
>>59238674>stuff conceptualized in gen 1>which is before the swift into fantasy world from gen 3>and that source confirming no animals in gen 5>and it's something they rewrote with Copperajah as soon they made the actual pokemon that replaces indian elephants in the Pokemon world in gen 8Fucking retard
>>59238430Happiny's """"eggs""" are rocks you fucking retard.
>>59239053Fire Red was gen 1?
Animals!!!!
>>59238703Eat your Paella Apollo.
>>59239575Fire Red reuses lines, the indian elephant thing wasn't created back then you illiterate cuck
>>59237464You know, I still occasionally see people want infestation to become an official bug type status move like burn and paralysis, but honestly I think powder is more interesting.We already have burn/poison/salt cure/curse and many other moves that chip damage every turn, but turning your opponent into a mine is alot more interesting.
>>59238321>pokemon are not monsters and they are not digital POKEMON ARE NOT DIGITAL OR MONSTERS DO NOT CALL THEM THATlmao dont use "The Mario Mandate" of Pokemon as your gospel anon, use the actual canon instead.
>>59237464Knowing this series, they are probably just constructs made of "bug element energy".
spread for the buggeru goyjin
>>59237670Noooo Clamdrogon from gen 12 how could you do this
>>59240845>illiterateHere's a quote from you.>Post the devs saying regular animals exist in the pokemon world after gen 2Fire Red is gen 3, therefore?
>>59238726False equivalence. Not including death makes sense from a marketing standpoint, not including any sort of animal doesn't.
>>59238598More like>idea the devs want to push but cooperate won’t allow because they don’t want their games to fail after ruining the setting for flavor text
>>59241185That line isn't from gen 3, it's from gen 1, illiterate-kun. Or do you think Pikachu is a gen 3 pokemon?
>>59242138It's reinforced by gen 3
>>59241344>they want to make it canon they just can't because... because the evil men in my head said no! So you have to pretend it's canon!
Why is it Pokemon can't exist with animals, but grass Pokemon can coexist with plants? And corals? And fungus?
>>59242157>they didn't bother changing it so it's totally like something they would write now!>please forget they even changed it as soon they made the indian elephant pokemon because indian elephants aren't a thing or I will kill myself!
>>59242359Animals have souls duh, and their own agenda. Plants are kinda there so they are more of a background element. Basically all dogs in the world could be replaced by Growlithe, Lillipup and others, but you couldn't replace all palm trees in the world by Exeggutor.
>>59242138Can you read the Fire Red (a gen 3 game) pokedex before posting again?
>>59242402>can you read gen 1 text in a gen 3 game?Yes, just like you can play with a gen 1 pokemon in a gen 3 game, Pikachu. Pikachu isn't from gen 3 and the entry you cling to isn't from gen 3 either, stop coping.
>>59242405>the entry you cling to isn't from gen 3 eitherIt literally is. You're sperging out because you asked a dumb question that was easily answered.
>>59242407>ignores the Pikachu argument because it completely destroys his pitiful cope>againSad. Pikachu isn't a gen 3 pokemon. Indian elephants aren't a gen 3 mention. You are a retard. Move on.
>>59242418>if you don't respond to every retarded thing I say that means it's rightI'll break this down for you.>is fire red gen 3Yes>is gen 3 after gen 2Yes>does anything in fire red mention real animalsYesThese are all undeniable facts.
>just pretend Pikachu is a gen 3 pokemon so I can copeNope. No animals, no (You).
I always assumed small insects like flies and mosquitoes exist in the Pokemon world.It doesn't make sense to replace them with Bug types, even the smallest are just too damn big to fill the same niche.
>>59242480>bitch replyingBased
>>59237564>you fucking retard?>retard.You're the only retard here, instead of derailing this thread just kill yourself already, nobody would cry.
>>59238436[Loud Tom scream]
>>59243406See >>59238784 >>59239048 and follow your own advice. With a sharp blade.
Never ask an animalcuck why despite the franchise having multiple HD illustrations of the old amber and even irl props for it they never ever represented it with a mosquito trapped inside after the classic era, he will cry.
>>59244378This has to be the weakest point anyone ever used
>>59244465>GF literally removing all mosquito imagery from the amber previously defined entirely by the mosquito trapped inside? Doesn't count!Thank you for being a good sample of animalcuck crying
>>59244378Bro that's clearly a *checks notes* Buzzwole that's *check notes* using the minibini gimmick from gen 17. How do you not know this?
>he's still seething over animals existing in gen 3
>>59244378It's an invisible mosquito duh, all animals still exist they just gained the ability to turn invisible, that's why you don't see them anymore
>>59242359Pokemon logic: if it doesn't walk fly or swim then it's not alive
>>59244771ferrothorn continues to be the most cursed piece of shit in this franchise
>>59244783It can crawl across cave ceilings and I guess on the ground but less effectively. Close enough maybe.
