So Far we got 2 evolution families, bringing the total to 5

so what do you think so far?
do you want more?
whats the good& bad in your opinion?
& your theories on their designs&creation?

i think their brilliant, a lil physical heavy, relying mainly on brute force and lacking good defenses, but i love sharks, i watch shark week EVERY year, & im very happy with the shark pokemon so far, and im hoping theres more to come ^_^

My Theory on the Gible Families Design& Creation:
Spoiler:

i also like how (IMO) i think they made the gible family in honor of the a miniseries: Peter Benchley's Creature
if you dont know of this miniseries i highly recommend you watch it, its a VERY good scifi-horror where a shark created by the US military ends up mutating into a land shark much like Garchomp :D
(it comes from the guy who made Jaws: Peter Benchley)

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.

whoops hit 6instead of 5 lol, better fix that ^^"

well theres been debates in the scientific community for YEARS bout whether there has/is/will be a land shark in earths history

Charizard★ July 10th, 2010 10:18 AM

I would like to see more Shark Pokemon, like a hammerhead, Mako, tiger, etc. It would be pretty cool.

Sydian July 10th, 2010 10:27 AM

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.

HugSomebody July 10th, 2010 11:04 AM

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.

Serene Grace July 10th, 2010 11:14 AM

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.

Nikorasu July 10th, 2010 12:30 PM

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'

PiPVoda July 10th, 2010 1:32 PM

I am happy w/ the ones we have now. I hope that Gible and Carvannah are obtainable in B/W.

Charmageddon July 10th, 2010 1:42 PM

A Steel/Water Hammerhead shark with massive attack and moves like Head Smash and Zen Headbutt. That would be so awesome.

Dillon_68 July 10th, 2010 2:01 PM

I thought the Gible line were Gar fish? As in Garchomp.

Sharpedo does have a whole body. It's based off a half sunfish, half shark. Sunfish look like torpedos with big fins. Go google it.

their classification in the pokedex is "land shark" is that wasnt obvious enough, look at a hammer head, then fuse it with peter benchleys creature = garchomp lol

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire July 10th, 2010 6:48 PM

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

Why would Steel/Water be the worst type for a shark? I mean it will not sink even if it's part metal....I don't see your logic for saying that...

Volroc July 10th, 2010 7:03 PM

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

You know that Sharks are actually huge fish?
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

@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!

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

grey†fish July 10th, 2010 7:28 PM

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.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire July 10th, 2010 7:31 PM

i know :( but he made up for it with his his books on sharks ^_^

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

i know noone will believe me but its honest truth, when i was lil i got caught by the under toe at the beach i was being pulled out to sea,and i got free thanx to a shark bumpin me in the back (i totally freaked thinkin it was gonna kill me, but it saved me, and im in its debt) then i stole those lobsters form the lobster cage :D (dont look at me like that, free lobster,who could resist?)

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire July 10th, 2010 7:37 PM

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...

grey†fish July 10th, 2010 7:39 PM

^ 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 :(

Christianity didn't pull the world into the dark ages...it was actuary only europe that was pulled into the dark ages and that was due to the fall of rome which was caused by the invading goths( the tribe not the people who were black who we know today as goths...)and other "barbaric" tribes and the broken parts of that empire fought each other until they decided to go find new land...
Well we do have a fire horse,pig, dog, and Roaster/ chicken :P

No it wasn't. you see Rome made a couple of bad mistakes about it's overstretch boarders, it also let in lots of people from outside the empire come in and take their jobs and join their army. the immigrants to rome didn't have much loyalty to the empire and eventually rebelled against the empire along with the Visogoths and the other tribes which broke their borders...they also had a out of touch leader...sounds like the USA right now except for the Immigrant part...I see them as having a bit more loyalty to the states then the Visogoths did for the Empire of rome...

OH yeah I did :P
Well a shark that combines all the cool parts of all known sharks sounds cool :)!

80-100atk
90-120def
80-100sp.atk
90-120sp.def
40-80speed

Groc July 10th, 2010 11:03 PM

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?

To be honest, I think Garchomps are based on jet planes more than they are related to sharks, even if their title is the "Land Shark" Pokemon. Eh, Sandshrew is more of a pangolin than a "Mouse" and Numel really should be camel over "Numb." edit2 Hell, Garchomp isn't even a "Land Shark." That's Gible. I hate Gible >_< That only makes Garchomp more related to jet planes, since it's the "Mach" Pokemon.

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.

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.

Nice Austin Powers reference there I was gonna say that later haha

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.

Scorpio219 July 11th, 2010 6:59 AM

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

GrifSpark July 11th, 2010 7:36 AM

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...

Volroc July 11th, 2010 9:47 AM

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

MistahDude July 11th, 2010 9:50 AM

Ghost Sharks would make a lot of sense because of all the sunken ships and what not out there in the ocean.

i was thinking the same thing, i was talkin to my wife the other night bout how AWESOME it would be if they made a ghost ship pokemon XD
but ghost sharks would be EVEN awesomer (<-- i know its not a word,so i made it one :P)

Azure-Supernova July 11th, 2010 10:33 AM

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 =/

Hmm, like this? (Picture in spoiler) I think another shark would be cool. Garchomp can't swim (well, surf) and Sharpedo is only half of a shark so we need a proper one :D

I want to see that pokemon :)
I really wish sharpedo turned into that :P

Gardenia101 July 11th, 2010 1:57 PM

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 always wondered about that when I began playing pokemon...Yeah we could have some fire/grass pokemon that is based on dry grass on fire like in a wild fire !

It looks more psychic/water than water/steel. Great idea for a pokemon btw.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire July 11th, 2010 9:38 PM

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 :)

Pazuru July 11th, 2010 9:42 PM

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.

Really? That's kinda....far-fetched :D. I think more along the lines of Gible possibly evolving into Sharpedo.

No it isn't as Cavanha was already made...an a evolution like Garchomp just seems to have been able to fit Sharpedo, until they probably decided to make a whole new line for the Pseudo...

most of your preductions arent correct, & you changed them so they looked correct *rolls eyes back*

i never al of them are ugly, most of them are just odd

I had to cut open a shark for class and let me tell you, their skin is definitely NOT soft. It's dense and annoying as hell... Much harder to cut through than pigs or any mammal for that matter, even with a scalpel. It's almost exactly like sandpaper, only you can't rip it. Sure the membrane is thin, but that stuff just won't come off... Even if you peel it.

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.

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

Well first off, who said we couldn't have references in Pokemon? Sharks with lazers is a well known internet meme at this point, not just an homage to Austin Powers. In addition, I had no idea what you were talking about for a second there with the Fakemon. Good call, though :)

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

thank you lol

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 ^_^

Well if you put the Ghost / Water thing that way, then I'm sure that would be pretty interesting. Just make sure it's not too similar to Sharpedo and has more than just offensive moves, or else people will just complain... That, or make it an evolution of Sharpedo. I could also see a shark Pokemon as a more of a defensive striker type that senses its foes before making a move, then attacks for a large hit and retreats.

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.

no sharpedo evolution, not unless it brings its stats to a more of a:
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

Haza July 12th, 2010 12:12 AM

Heck, some Pokemon can even be mixed.

true some can be mixed, but most dragons are physical heavy :(

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
