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

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 :)

the gible family ARE hammerheads, wats with everyones obsession with hammerheads? ever since you gots got that fakemon back in gold&silver thats all u can think bout :P

:P

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
