Social Swamp's Social Thread 3 - And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain...

You have to be Lion, they can't be that slow to not have had a lion.

. . .****


Guess we know who runs the pokemon creation team


Unless Luxray is a lion. He seems to be some kind of big cat.


Most people wouldn't believe Tympole actually exists

lol, true. Most people thought all of those sounded to dumb to be real or were simply fake. And then then happened and everything was shocked. The same guy also claimed to have the X and Y pokedex but was incorrect.

 

[NintenZ]

Since my previous topic didn't get too far, how about a new one?

What would be your ideal Sonic game for the 25th anniversary?

 

[Swamp Sensei]

It's kyogre and groudon based on christian

Judaism actually.

Groundon, Kyogre and Rayquaza are based on the Behemoth, Leviathan and Ziz respectively.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Actually, a peacock could easily have multicolored gemstones on the tip of it's tailfeathers, looking majestic while spreading colour across the land, we don't necessarily have a colour Pokemon, right? 2 birds (huehue) in one stone. Or none if it's flying type

 

[Khoru]

. . .The closest you can call Zygarde a worm is by confusing the words "worm" and "wyrm." Zygarde is Jörmungandr Vishnu.

People have been passing this around?

no there's some definite resemblance to flatworms in its 50% form
its core and cell forms are especially similar to planaria

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Judaism actually.

Groundon, Kyogre and Rayquaza are based on the Behemoth, Leviathan and Ziz respectively.

Rayquaza is the least of those similar to how they are described.

The Ziz being more or less a griffin

Actually good, fun, high speed gameplay. Multiple playable characters who feel different. amazing OST, levels that are varied and look beautiful, such as a HD Air Fleet, that scenery looked great. Most importantly, no gimmicks. Another shot at the Skill system wouldn't hurt

 

[Coricus]

Greek mythology is something Pokemon could pull off greatly, there's already Norse with XYZ, and the weather trio is possibly based on monsters of Christianity I think? Gen V had the 3 musketeers and Yin and Yang dammit!

I didn't say "no," I just said that there were other concepts from the exact same mythology as you listed that made a far better impression on me overall.

The Tao Trio and the Norse-Hindu trio are cool in design, but they are pretty tame in concept compared to the idea of a six-headed tentacle monster with dogs growing out of it's waist and a fluffy cat tail.

no there's some definite resemblance to flatworms in its 50% form

. . .Well I stand corrected then.Embarrass

 

[Aetheri]

wait a sec....we don't have a Griffon pokemon! WHAT IS THIS BLASPHEMY!?!

(rayquaza is somewhat based on Iziz though, even though it's appearance more closely resembles Leviathan, which has been portrayed as a water serpent in addition to a whale-like creature)

 

[Z25]

Where's my BigFoot pokemon to go with Abomasnow?

A Dark Fairy would be nice to.\

Or a Saber Tooth Tiger Fossil and raikou only sort of counts for this.

These 3 could be cool.

 

[Khoru]

man why wasn't misdreavus retyped
banshees are fairies

i also still want a poison/fairy nuckelavee

 

[Burruni]

Alright, I'm Christian, but was not sure on this. Which is interesting, I don't know how well known Christianity is in Japanese, but even so, I don't know how common that fact is, so this definitely helps it a bit.

Either way, it's worth watching this imo.

While Shintoism and Hinduism are the two predominant religions in Japan... I'm fairly certain that Christianity is something of fairly common interest as a "kind of mythology" so to speak.
Maybe that's my bias as an SMT fan.

However.

Pokken's last 4?

Belief
Greninja
Hitmonchan
Hitmonlee
Scizor/Heracross.

Want
Blastoise
Sandslash
Galvanutla
Reuniclus


And for animal species that need Pokemon?
Yeah, Wolf, Peacock, and Dolphins already listed.
But, personally?
Hummingbirds
Koalas
Gargoyles
Flamingo (SPRITZEE YOU TEASE!!!)
Computer Mice
And lastly...

GALAGOS! THE BUG EYED LITTLE RODENT BABIES!!!!
Nocturnal! MAKE IT THE FIRST DARK/FAIRY!

 

[Schnee117]

Velociraptor and Native American mythology (Wendigos for example) inspired Pokemon please.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I want a fairy dragon

Something nice looking

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

Since my previous topic didn't get too far, how about a new one?

What would be your ideal Sonic game for the 25th anniversary?

A game with with fun, fast-paced platforming with great music and a ton of replayablitiy. A good story with a mix of comedy and drama would be nice as well.

In short however, I just want a good game.

It is believed that both Garchomp and Druddigon are loosely based on gargoyles...(in addition to Garchomp being a Land Shark)

Oh?
You don't like FLUFFSTORM FRIGGIN MEGA ALTARIA WHY AREN'T YOU MEGA FLYGON?!

...Sorry.

Edit:

Eh.
That's not even close enough.
That's, as people have said, like calling Kyogre a dolphin or mightyena a wolf.

While we're on Pokémon, is anyone else following Pokémon Sage? http://capx.wikia.com/wiki/CAPX_Wiki

It's being made by a team of 4chan members and their progress is very damn impressive.

I see..

And gargoyles and kolas are actually awesome ideas!

Rock and Flying Gargoyle

and a Grass and fighting, bamboo sword wielding Kola please!

I thought of that for a Panda first, but then we got the Pancham line, but they are still nicely designed pokemon imo.

The demo was really good, but it's 2 years later and there still isn't a demo past the 1st gym. They do weekly work, but get things done really slowly. The next beta's been delayed twice so far. I still look forward to it though.

One of the damn best Fakemon dexes I've ever seen.

Velociraptor and Native American mythology (Wendigos for example) inspired Pokemon please.

Velociraptors aren't very exciting tbh...

Spoiler

 

[Burruni]

Velociraptors aren't very exciting tbh...

Oh, hey, look.
It's Archen.

 

[Z25]

So I have no clue where this came from, but that same pokemon list is back again. This time in Chinese! And it lists the mons by order and location in Kalos:

From the Pokecommunity. I really have no clue what to make of this. I'll remain neutral for now.

 

[Kenith]

Oh, hey, look.

See Schnee117 ?
Your dream Pokemon was here all along

 

[Aetheri]

y'know what would make a cool pokemon?

El Chupacabra! Bug/Dark!! or just Dark...doesn't matter more cryptids!!!

Bunyip (Water/Dark)
Ningen (Water/Normal)
Mongolian Death Worm (Bug/Dark)
Mkele Mbembe (Rock)
Jackalope (Normal/Ice)
Wendigo (Dark/Ice)
Kraken (Water/Dark)

I have no objection to more Water/Dark types...

 

[Schnee117]

Velociraptors aren't very exciting tbh...

Spoiler

And then there's Riptor.

 

[Burruni]

In his defence.

Archeops is pretty badass.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Apparently Toby is watching Etika's Genocide stream live. WTF!

 

[Khoru]

In his defence.

Archeops is pretty badass.

it's a nice pokemon with one of the worst abilities in the game
like
what was gf thinking

 

[Burruni]

Also I can't help but feel early to the party when I posted up my "wishlist Gen 7 starters" thing from earlier today.

Edit:

like
what was gf thinking

Giving it stupid-good stats and then crippling it with a terrible ability.

It's Slaking syndrome.

 

[A Distant Demon]

See Schnee117 ?

His dream pokemon has been in the game since gen 2

We got ages ago

 

[Rebellious Treecko]

man why wasn't misdreavus retyped
banshees are fairies

We need more Fairy-types based on actual faries (aka. mystical creatures) rather than cutsey sugar stuff, although maybe that's just a Kalos thing.
The only one we really have is Mawile. (based off a Yokai, I think)

----

 

[Aetheri]

Well...we do have Sceptile and Garchomp with their raptor like designs...

would still love a Raptor fossil myself, had an idea once that we get a Raptor fossil with a Protoceratops Pokemon...as there was one famous fossil depicting the two fighting, so it could be a neat fossil pokemon rivalry...

Can you fix the image?

So true.

At least Pokestar studios taught me one thing.

Use either mummy or simple beam, and with skill and luck, you can set up slaking and archeops to sweep in lower tiered batttles.

Still doesn't help much though.

Can you fix the image?

What's wrong with it on your end?

Is it not showing up? I might know why....

 

[NintenZ]

BluePikmin11 do you know who the highest voted character in your poll is? (Not counting Daisy of course)

Mawile's based on someting called... Fukochi-onna or something similar. Yes, a Yokai.
But the design of Gardevoir is based on Paper dolls, for example.
Klefki off the myth of fae or similar magical ilk being the cause for missing keys.
Whatever the hell Whimsicott is.
Togekiss having a real angelic vibe to it.
Xerneas is Ceranoos or however its spelt.
Then... Mr. Mime. *Shudders*

But yeah, I agree.

Maybe part of my bias of having a mermaid-y Water/Fairy starter.

yeah, a futakuchi-onna
klefki's one of the closest pokemon to actual tsukumogami too so i guess that counts
carbink and diancie could be based on carbuncles too

Whatever the hell Whimsicott is.

oh yeah whimsicott is probably based on the vegetable lamb of tartary
