|
Carvanah is a piranah, the garchomp family is like, half lizard, and Sharpedo looks like half of its missing.
Yeah, we need more Shark Pokemon. One with a tail fin atleast. There are 5 there btw. |
Quote:
well theres been debates in the scientific community for YEARS bout whether there has/is/will be a land shark in earths history |
I would like to see more Shark Pokemon, like a hammerhead, Mako, tiger, etc. It would be pretty cool.
|
I think if there were more sharks, it'd make them less unique. Like saying that there's more of you. It makes you less unique. Maybe a hammerhead would be cool, but we don't need a trillion sharks. But that doesn't mean I don't like the idea. I just don't want the already existing shark Pokemon to be lessened.
|
I didn't know Garchomp was based off a shark! A land shark, too! If that's the case than Gible and his family are that much cooler; I never really cared for Sharpedo. o: I thought it was a little weird how he didn't have a whole body.
|
As this is more about new Pokemon being introduced, why not continue the discussion over at the Black & White forums? There, you can speculate about new shark Pokemon in the new generation.
|
Hmm.. yeah, we dont need anymore sharks. Think about other things like cats? there are like... to what i can count... 6 of them? (i think) We dont need like 20 sharks otherwise everyone will just be like 'Ugh another shark'
|
I am happy w/ the ones we have now. I hope that Gible and Carvannah are obtainable in B/W.
|
A Steel/Water Hammerhead shark with massive attack and moves like Head Smash and Zen Headbutt. That would be so awesome.
|
I thought the Gible line were Gar fish? As in Garchomp.

I wish that sharpedo could evolve into a hammer head shark :)

Quote:
i want a goblin shark, but the mouth is more to the tiger shark so it looks cool,not ugly and a thresher shark would be killer, give it the attack: "tsunami" and is owns everythin with that long tail lol i want a special attack heavy shark :P |

Carvanha, Sharpedo and Garchomp have yellow star on their heads, weird.

Just one that isn't too slow.

well if you think bout it we get tons of water pokemon based on fish
but we only have 2whales (not countin kyogre) and 5sharks with both of those species so common, we should get more :P |
Quote:
Yeah Kyogre is a Orca which has more in common with dolphins in the evolutionary line so it was wise to not count it as a whale :P |
Quote:
plus its a legendary :P |

@Volroc (thought I should put this in big letters in case you missed it):
You ARE aware that Peter Benchley is the single WORST thing that's ever happened to sharks, right? :( EDIT: And whales (and cetaceans in general) have more in common with hippos than sharks… it's true! |
Quote:
its my fav water legend, i wanna raise it like a beginner :D |
Quote:
|
How would an electric/water combo shark sound? Weird? Maybe it could be a blind electrophorus shark. I figured if they were brave enough to put Munna in b&w then why not a blind shark? Which one sounds cooler? :D
|
Quote:
PETER BENCHLEY HAS WROTE SEVERAL BOOKS ON SHARKS THAT ARE NON-FICTION & HAS STATED MANY TIMES HIS LOVE FOR SHARKS IS WHY HE MAKES THEM THE STARS OF HIS FICTIONAL BOOKS i win :p want proof? the link is in the main post, they have a complete list of his fictional&non-fictional works |
The blind shark sounds cooler :P
Quote:
|
Quote:
and ive watched all the jaws movies (which are comedies IMO) plus i love Creature its one of my fav movies :D Quote:
Quote:
im a very honorable person. |
Quote:
A tiger shark would be a cool addition :) |
Yet he still is the reason for the widespread hunt of sharks, and his books never motivated people to love sharks to the level that his movies made people fear them…
Peter Benchley himself stated that he wish he'd never even made that movie… he hates his movies, and everyone else should too for what they've meant to the ocean. |
I feel sad about all the misunderstandings we humans have about Sharks :(
|
Quote:
indeed, thats why i read all his non-fictional work ^_^ whewn i was lil i thought jaws was scary,not cuz of the shark,i was afraid of the people hurtin the shark, so i always was on the sharks side, i guess once you read 1book on how sharks are hunted, then watch a movie where a shark eats a few people you think "well bout time they got sum revenge" lol in the end,humans are worse than the sharks, and sharks deserve the respect, for their elegance,& strength Quote:
|
Yeah we humans kill our own kind just for riches...
I heard somewhere that sharks were believed to have ruled the world before the Dinosaurs actually... |
^ that doesn't change a thing tho…
i agree that he's pretty bright and he knows what he's talking about, but i can't even fathom what made him shoot those movies… i've worked with sharks in an aquarium before, and i love the creatures, so i agree that we need more of them in Pokémon (especially since we're running low in the real world :()… but i still can't stand the man who single-handedly changed the mentality of the whole country and led to… THIS :( |
Quote:
humans are a pathetic species, you own the planet, you own its resources not STFU and share lol Quote:
so have i mate :D i do everythin i can to save sharks ^_^ indeed im still a fan of his books, i didnt even know he made jaws til yesterday lol i was only familiar with him on his non-fictional work& creature (its been so long since i read jaws(the book) |
Quote:
Human's sicken me! |
Quote:
i think a fire shark would be kinda cool to see :D |
Quote:
Is a fire shark a real species? Or are you just talking about the typing? |
Quote:
if only christianity didnt cause the dark ages :P long long long long long before the dinos lol but i was just tihnkin bout typing, it would be interestin to see how they did a shark thats fire type, after all yugioh pulled off fire dinosaurs lol |
Quote:
Well we do have a fire horse,pig, dog, and Roaster/ chicken :P |
Quote:
dont forget fire slug/snail :D lol and an echidna (i love cyndaquil <3) |
Quote:
OH yeah I did :P Well a shark that combines all the cool parts of all known sharks sounds cool :)! |
Quote:
:D goblin sharks horn, hammer heads head design, tiger sharks torso, thresher sharks tail = oone badass shark lol i want a whale shark :D |
A whale shark sounds like it would be quite powerful :)

Whale sharks are actually pretty gentle. They eat krill.
However, they may be out of ideas for sharks. Sharpedo was a dark type to reflect people's fear of sharks, the Gib-Gab-Gar line was ground because they are Land Shark. (candygram) What else can they use? Remember that they are not as versed in the ways of the shark as you are, and would probably use ideas that are commonplace or cliche. Maybe a Great White, which would have large amounts of Attack and HP. Or a Mako, with high speed and attack. That would be cool. I like Makos. I always thought of them as ninja sharks. That could be it's name! Ninjark. Sharkja. Ninjaws? |
Quote:
Maybe some kind of shark that isn't water? Thats not even possible :'( |
Dolphin Pokemon Is Needed More Than Another Shark. That Is All....

Not denying that they look like sharks, though. edit Also ironic that the Pokedex brags about it being more of an air-shark than anything. Looks like Pokemon decided to mash everything together into one -- sea, land, and air. fml - - - - - Anyway, if they decide to make another shark Pokemon, I want it to know a lazer-based attack and be part Steel type. Or all Steel type. |

A hammerhead shark Pokémon would be nice. Not sure about whether it would have another type apart from water, but if it did it'd probably be steel. Anyway, as long as they don't overdo sharks I'm happy with them making new ones, but if it becomes like Pidgey/Starly/Taillow/New Bird then that'd be a shame.
|
a hammerhead shark could be steel/water or fighting/water or mabey even rock water even though they have a bunch of rock water types. all three could use any headbutt moves like headbutt, zen headbut, takedown mabey, and so on
|
I think a HammerHeadShark would be either Water/Rock or Water/Steel, both represent its water sharkyness, and its pure strength.
And onto the subject of Water/Electric Sharks. I feel that a combination of the four main types (Grass/Fire/Water/Electric) should only be done once, which it has *Glances at Lanturn*. But maybe Lanturn could gain an evolution that makes it become a shark? I think it evolving into a dolphin would make more sense... "Lazor" sharks FTW... |
NO STEEL SHARKS!
thats lame, and most likely would turn out HORRIBLY, plus steel is over powered all ready& they shouldnt make anymore, not til they change it so they have 1more weakness& 1more neutral. dolphins are ugly :P still land shark :P and yes there are more non-water sharks than water sharks last time i checked Sharks has soft skin unless rubbed against it wrong, so steel isnt even a plausible typing for a shark. youd have a better chance getting a normal/water shark based on the bull shark before a steel shark |
Ghost Sharks would make a lot of sense because of all the sunken ships and what not out there in the ocean.
|
Quote:
but ghost sharks would be EVEN awesomer (<-- i know its not a word,so i made it one :P) |
They should definitely throw in a 'Frilled Shark' fossil (because I want more ancient pokémon) and then either a line based off of Goblin sharks or Megamouth sharks! Though I suppose there isn't enough to justify another filter feeder when we have Wailord =/

I really wish sharpedo turned into that :P |
If they do make more shark pokemon, maybe they can make some more grass pokemon that actually look like grass. Only a few of they really do (Tangela and Oddish) and so it just doesn't seem natural to call them the "grass" type instead of the "Plant" type if they never really look like a grass type.

I think that Garchomp was originally going to be the evolution of sharpedo do to them both being sharks and that star on it's head :)
|
Another Shark Pokemon would be cool. Especially like the one before (A Hammerhead), or maybe like a Tiger Shark.
Though what I really want is a Dolphin Pokemon. |

tiger would be cooler |

and with how nintendo keeps makin odd pokemon i dont want them to make a hideous shark :( |
Quote:

Quote:
i just think pokemon would turn them ugly :( i want ghost sharks& a ghost ship :D |
Quote:

Quote:
|
Quote:
Also I don't think they the gen 5 pokemon are ugly at all so I want a Hammer head, ignore Volroc, I'm the one whose predictions came true ;) |
I say we just get one more shark (Megalodon) as an evo for Sharpedo.
|
Quote:
i never al of them are ugly, most of them are just odd |
Quote:
Anyways I want a odd Hammer shark they are odd looking anyways :P |
Quote:
edit I will say that their skin is rather smooth if you stroke from head to tail, but it's bristly and your fingers get stuck and it hurts if you go the other way. And don't get me started on how they smelled. |
Quote:
lol i just want more sharks&whales to even it out we got mainly fish :P we dont even got that many eels :( |

Quote:
we should get an evolution family of orcas like free willy :P a tiger shark -> bull/blue shark -> thresher shark evolution family |

cant you guys think of anythin original?
lazer on their head = instant rip off of austin powers steel type = 1lame, 2you only want it cuz of that fakemon back durin G/S/C the better types would be: water/dark & ghost/water with base stats: 80 120 70 120 70 90 |
Quote:
As for Water / Dark and Water / Ghost, that's just playing on the typical aspect of sharks as terrible or ferocious (and Sharpedo already has that typing anyway!), while Steel type sharks? That's OUTRAGEOUS! Fire-type sharks even... with their bodies made of partially hardened magma, swimming in volcanoes :s And finally, that statpool you gave is basically Sharpedo beefed up far beyond its limits, with Speed that allows it to sweep with either element of attack and moderate defenses and HP that allow it to take more hits than it should, given the extremely powerful offensive capabilities. fml Cheers! Have a smile :D |
Quote:
sharks are ferocious, but their also kind, elegant, graceful, & fontastic :D ghost shark was in my head simple cuz some sharks disappear into the shadows when they and i could see a shark pokemon with shadow sneak&aqua jet lol thats the idea :D sharks should be fast,strong in both offenses, but have low health (since if a shark ever stops swimmin they die) and their defenses should be mediocre dependin on its type lol to be honest,i think i just dont want the steel type,cuz its too resistant already,if they evened it out a lil more& steel wasnt so over powered, then id probably wouldnt mind :D cheers indeed mate ^_^ |
Quote:
Also, if you want to be really technical, sharks don't die when they stop swimming... As long as there's water rushing headfirst into its gills, then it will be fine (swimming is mainly to filter water through the gills). If a shark anchors itself somehow within a strong-ish current, it can survive just because of the water moving around them. |
Quote:
70 120 100 100-120 100 95-100 (which would bring its base stat total to 590) cuz sharpedos defenses are WAY too low, which saddens me cuz its my fav water type :( that is true,but few sharks do that,unless they stop are at a reef for a "shower" lol |
I'd just like one more shark, a hammerhead with Water/Steel typing and very speedy and physical. Dream Water-Type!
|
Quote:
we have TOO many physical pokemon ever since the physical special split :( |
Quote:
i want a nicely balanced shark, thats half ghost or a cookiecutter shark thats water/steel <--- now that would be evil stats: attack:160 speed:200 damn thing would sweep everything& itd only be what? 1foot long lol |
