The Bug Type Fanclub
 

Hay, it's the Bug fanclub!
http://i.imgur.com/chzVN.png

They're not scary, they're just adorable. How can you resist a Caterpie looking at you? How can you refuse a Shuckle ready to be in your team? How can you NOT use them? They're not only cute, but they're ultra strong. Join if you love them! :333333

The Rules!
Easy to follow, even as easy as counting to 5!
Rule #1! Follow PC's and PG's rules.
Rule #2! No trolling or spamming. Do so and you are out of the club.
Rule #3! You may only choose one partner.
Rule #4! Obviously no dissing Bug types.
Rule #5! Anyone can make topics!




Activities!
None yet!

Lemme join!
My favorite would have to be Volcarona. I love bug types but not bugs in real life... Bug Pokemon are just sooo adorable compared to their real life counterparts. :)

alisaie August 8th, 2011 5:33 PM

I was just wondering whether or not there was a Bug Fanclub. How ironic! xD

Anyways, I'll join! My favorite would have to be Butterfree, Scizor, or Volcarona. Beedrill would be a close second though! You can make my Pokemon a Butterfree though, why not. :)

Alternative August 8th, 2011 5:43 PM

Not only are they cute and strong, but they all evolve quickly! I wanna join this club. ^_^

My favourite Bug Pokemon has got to be Volbeat I must say. I've always had a soft spot for it ever since I bred an awesome and and then I taught it Thunderpunch and it was amazing. I even once used it in the Battle Frontier with a friend and they wondered why it was so strong. :D

champagnepapi August 8th, 2011 5:54 PM

I'd like to join!

Scizor and Forretress are my favorite Bug Types, mainly because of their designs, typings and prevalence in the OU Metagame. n__n

Spinosaurus August 8th, 2011 6:21 PM

Added everyone.
@Blade and Alternative: If you want to change partners, just VM me.

So how about a little topic?
What's your favorite starter Bug type Pokemon?
By starter Bug Pokemon, I mean Weedle, Caterpie, Wurmple, Kricketot, Sewaddle, Venipede and of course, their evolution. I didn't know what to call them so yeah...:(

My favorite has got to be Dustox. I used it in my Sapphire Nuzlocke and it walled everything. I love the typing, and the fact it can learn Psychic type moves makes life so much easier for it. It's hard to take down, and is pretty annoying. Plus it's cute, just not as cute as Beedrill. :<

What's your favorite starter Bug type Pokemon?
As mentioned before, I love Butterfree. I've always basically loved Butterflies, and thus it was pretty much instant love for Butterfree when I set my eyes on it. Ash's Butterfree didn't help, and neither did Yellow's (PokeSupe) either. I've never used it in battle because Butterfree I love more for it's simple design than it's battling abilities, but perhaps someday I should put Butterfree on a team just for the heck of it. Beautifly would be a close second I guess, but Butterfree takes the cake just slightly.

Bug types scare the heck outta Misty! Heck I'm joinin! With Caterpie as my partner!

My favorite bug types would definitely have to be Caterpie, Scizor and Scyther.
Here's wear I have to disagree with Misty - CATERPIE IS SUCH A CUTIE :3 I mean who can say no to that face except Misty:D

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qzwchLR5l8Y/TS59BC3HRYI/AAAAAAAAAXs/B3L9mLwLKMo/s1600/010+Caterpie+b.png

Also loved Yellow's Kitty when it was still a Caterpie:
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/thumb/7/7d/Kitty_Caterpie.png/180px-Kitty_Caterpie.png
Just cause it kept following Yellow <3

Guess that also sorta answered my question for the next topic xD

I know ... weird obsession with Caterpie but as for Scyther and Scizor. I always have a thing for speed, that's what caught my eye with Scyther. Was pretty sad that when Scyther evolves into Scizor it's speed goes down.
Though the scizor who battled Celebi in Pokemon 4ever really caught my eye even if Ash's bayleef beat him :/

Alternative August 10th, 2011 6:19 AM

What's your favorite starter Bug type Pokemon?
Volbeat I've always had a soft spot for Beautifly, to be honest. Ever since my first time using it in Ruby I've always had something for it. It's a real powerhouse especially early on in Hoenn against Roxanne and Brawly to say the least. I'd even consider going on with more runs with a Beautifly, because it's just so awesome.

Also if Ariados counts can I say that one as well? Ariados always looks cool and has some nice moves to go along with that. It's speed is lackluster but it's still cool. I also like Ledian's design. <3

Miyako August 10th, 2011 9:25 PM

I gotta join, I love bug type Pokemon! My favorite would be Volcarona, but I also love Illumise, Parasect, Yanmega, Galvantula, and Heracross. If we can only pick a partner that isn't picked yet, I'll go with Illumise. ^^ http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/8/83/Ani314MS.png

They make Ariados seem so fast in the anime especially on webs. Though I guess it's just stringshot slowing the opponent down making it look faster xD
At least it has a decent attack power

As for Ledian, the number of mornings I spent trying to wake up early to catch one in crystal xD (Always slept in back then)

You can pick any partner, even if it was picked already. If you want Vocarona as your partner, it's fine.

I remember catching Ledian in Colosseum. Those were good days. I admit I never really used it but I remember that catch more than anything to be honest! There was also Heracross.


Speaking of Heracross, it was my favorite Pokemon when I was a kid. I watched the episode when Ash caught him and immediately fell in love with it, but only for a while. :<<<

Meh, I'll stick with Illumise. I've always wanted to use one in-game, maybe I will after I'm done with my challenges.

What's your favorite starter Bug type Pokemon?
Spinarak, Ledyba and their evolutions are pretty cool. They stick out the most out of all of the bug starters mostly cuz they only evolve once instead of 2 times.

But I do like all of the starters, I don't hate anyone of them.

Spinarak was an epic pain in crystal, I'd be training up my Cyndaquil against Pidgeys and Rattata and they'd just pop out and annoy the heck outta me by using poison sting - especially when I had no antidotes on me :/

Ahhh, Ledian. ;^; The last time I played Colosseum (which wasn't too long ago) I almost whited-out trying to catch that damn thing. I love Ledian but jesus it just wouldn't get into the ball. Heracross is awesome though; it was one of the members on my team before I stopped playing because I had to do on vacation and everything. He helped a lot during the last boss battle I faced before I stopped playing.

I loved with Ash's Heracross!

GLOMP!


So cute how it likes sucking the sab from bulbasaur's bulb - even if it annoys the heck outta him xD

archeops14 August 12th, 2011 2:14 AM

Yep, I'm joining. I want my partner to be Galvantula please.

What's your favorite starter Bug type Pokemon?
Eh, all things spider. Galvantula, Ariados and more. Although I can't stand big spiders.

Hey I forgot about Sewaddle, they are so cute! Wouldn't they be considered a starter bug type too? (btw Spinosaurus you need to add zappeh to the member list :P)

Haha, thought I already added her. My bad. :P
SEWADDLE IS ADORABLE. But I prefer Venipede. :<

New topics to keep this running
Do you think Drapion should be a Bug type?
AND
What is one bug type Pokémon you love, but wouldn't like to see in real life? suggested by kaori

Miyako August 12th, 2011 12:55 PM

Do you think Drapion should be a Bug type?
Yeah, I think it should have stayed Poison/Bug or even became a Dark/Bug type. That's a interesting type combination. :o

What is one bug type Pokémon you love, but wouldn't like to see in real life?
I like Scolipede, but if I saw one in real life I would be scared for my life since it is 8 ft in length. o-o That's one big bug.

Skip Class August 12th, 2011 3:26 PM

Do you think Drapion should be a Bug type?
I've heard some people say it shouldn't because it Scorpions aren't really insects/bugs. But seriously I can't think of any other type where Drapion or Skorupi would fit in. The closest type I'd fit Drapion under would provably be steel, something about it makes me think steel. Though I like it being part bug type

What is one bug type Pokémon you love, but wouldn't like to see in real life?
Genesect - I don't why I sorta have a dislike to that pokemon

Miyako August 12th, 2011 4:46 PM

Hey I made some userbars for the club. 5 to be exact, but it's the same bar just different Pokemon. If someone wants a certain Pokemon for a bar, just ask me. ^^

Click the spoiler to see them:

alisaie August 12th, 2011 5:36 PM

Do you think Drapion should be a Bug type?
Why not? If you really want to be technical about things, then Spinarak/Ariados and Joltik/Galvantula shouldn't really be Bug type either because they're not bugs, they're arachnids. I see no problem with Drapion being a bug type, really.

What is one bug type Pokémon you love, but wouldn't like to see in real life?
Basically the two that was mentioned above: Genesect and Scolipede. Genesect would be a bit creepy (and more dangerous than the rest) to see in real life, and I would rather like to avoid Scolipedes and their Steamrollers attacks, tyvm.

I can see why it's a Dark type, but honestly I always thought it was more Bug type than Dark. After all, its pre-evo is Poison/Bug, too.

Beedrill. Despite how much I love it, I'm sort of afraid of Bees and especially Wasps due to certain..."events". :x

Miyako August 12th, 2011 6:44 PM

Man Spin, your userbars are so much more pro. If I get better with gfx I'll redo mine. XD

On a more bug-related note: AWWWWW~
