I miss him bros...
>>59382578Nah, this guy was 100% justified in getting cut. He simply has too many oddities for him to make sense as a species:>Why doesn't he just take off the flaming wood backpack? He's clearly distressed about it so it's clearly not a natural occurrence to him.>Does every copy of this Pokémon have their own equally flaming backpack?>Do they come out of the egg pre-enflamed?>If the wooden backpack is always on fire, why doesn't he burn to a crisp within seconds?Sugimori was extremely insistent that all non-legendary Pokémon were believable creatures that could survive in the wild. This guy doesn't pass that test.
>>59383115Cubone invalidates all of that.
>>59383115>WAAAA, WHERE'S MAMA??
>>59383115Volbear has Pokémon Chaos Black energy
>>59383115Its face looks like its panicking but its actually perfectly fine. The logs and fire are part of its body, like shell. It lures in concerned humans and mugs them.
>>59383115>Does every copy of this Pokémon have their own equally flaming backpack?Yes>>Do they come out of the egg pre-enflamed?>>If the wooden backpack is always on fire, why doesn't he burn to a crisp within seconds?The backpack isnt always on fire, it just happens very often>>Why doesn't he just take off the flaming wood backpack? He's clearly distressed about it so it's clearly not a natural occurrence to him.They are not very smart, or else their bag wouldnt burn so oftenI have a feeling this would have been a gimmick mon, like delibird or sudowoodo. Gen 2 really liked those.I can also see him being a recurring character in the anime, always getting on fire in different ways.
>>59382578I honestly prefer the regional evolution route for Bake DanukiIt could use an item for its transformations (a magic leaf) and to differentiate itself from Zoroark and Ditto, it would only transform into objects that would give a boost to one of its stats.

>>59383860>>59383866Isnt it kinda weird how we dont have a tanooki pokemon yet?
>>59383979Wasn't Sentret/Furret a Tanooki Pokémon? Or is it a japanese squirrel thing I don't know?
>>59383641>>59383652I don't like Cubone either. In fact, I'd say he's probably the worst designed Gen-1 mon from a creature believability standpoint.
>>59382578Is this something that’s common in Asian culture?
>>59384087Yes, it happened in mario sunshine too
Happens to the best of us
>>59383641>>59383652>>59384070At least Cubone has a great visual design. The tanuki is just stupid
>>59384087It's based on a Japanese folktale called Kachi-kachi Yama where a rabbit punishes an evil tanuki by setting the kindling he was carrying on his back on fire
>>59382578what became of him?
>>59383115Kangaskhan eggs hatching a child AND a parent also invalidates thatsame with Chanseyof all the mons that could have got babies in gen 2, i'm shocked neither of them were candidates,
