Stunfisk irritates me...it seemed like lost potential, especially after I read (on bulbapedia) that it was originally going to be an angler fish. I know that Chinchou and Lanturn were supposed to...

I personally didn't like Sawk and Throw, only because the puns are too obvious.

I would have preferred it if the Japanese names were kept for the international release, because that way they...

I don't want dual-type attacks.

Gen V is my least favorite gen (the only I might never buy), and it was partially because of gimmicky crap like the "dream world" and triple battles.

Dual type...

No, somebody said that a couple pages back.

Does anybody know when the next corocoro should come out/leak and whether or not it will have any info?

I wasn't disputing the logic of Pokemon evolutions, I was pointing out that Anubis was not a fox.

Don't even get me started on Clamperl turning into a fish, or Remoraid turning into an Octopus.

Anubis was a jackal, not a fox.

For Fennekin's line, I would be happy with Fire/Psychic, but Fire/Ground would be amazing.

I disagree with that statement.

If this game is marketed purely towards children, then why bother doing a physical/special split?

Oh my god...

Bagworms are moth larvae.

In some insects, the larva of a specific gender never metamorphoses into an adult. Many beetles of the family Lampyridae (fireflies) are like this; the...

I know Pokemon doesn't have to have perfect biology, but it needs to at least be sort of accurate.

As for evolutions, yes,...

There are no insects that do that.

No parasites actually "brainwash" hosts, but there are some worms, protozoans, and fungi that take over the nervous systems of their hosts.

None of those are...

For Poison/Steel, I think a carnivorous dumpster would be better.

It would further the whole "artificial life developing from waste" theme with the other non-organic poison types.

Can you read?

I was suggesting that the developers probably already have their own list of new types that they could introduce that they would consider acceptable.

Way earlier in the thread, I brought up how light and sound would be excellent choices for new types, both thematically and gameplay-wise.

How is it redundant?

When an argument is redundant, it means that it is not needed because it has already been addressed or a solution has been applied.
