What do you think this gen's bug will be?
Since we have a topic discussing what the new bird could be, howabout a discussion on what the new bug could be? I'm considering like say, a Kricketune line clone or something like that, but instead of Bide another move that doesn't excatly consider too much switch grinding. Or maybe you guys would be different and feel it could be a Poison type Vivillion? Whatever it is, feel free to share what you think the new regional bug could be, and what insect it should be based off!

I could see another Night and Day bugs counterpart like Beautifly and Dustox.
|
I really want an anthropomorphic Red Admiral Butterfly bug-type Pokemon, with an admiral's hat, red wings, and scythe-like appendages for arms. Having that as the game's early bug-type would be awesome.
Failing that, how about a bug/grass stick insect, or a vicious-looking bug/poison centipede? Something a little different from the standard-issue butterfly/moth thing would be great! |
A bug/dark tarantula and a bug/ ice.. Something would be nice.
And the centipede and stick insect feels too similar to Scolipede and Leavanny |
Seeing as our next game has a day/night theme, I think these should be our next bug pokemon:
For Moon, a Bug/Fairy Glow-worm would be nice. For sun, I say we use an Aphid because there has been hints of them using photosynthetic-like processes to generate energy. Since it is generating energy, I do believe of Bug/Electric or Bug/Grass pokemon would fit this well. Perhaps we can even have a Bug/Electric pokemon with an -ate ability that turns normal moves into grass moves with added damage for our Sun bug pokemon. |
Thepowaofhax's idea of a glow worm would be nice, because we had a duo of fireflies in 3rd Gen so I'd love to see another Bug-type based on an insect that lights up plus it would easily fit in the game's theme.
|
According to the leaked list, we're getting a Bug/Grass fruit fly, a Bug/Dark cockroach, and a Bug/Ice standalone Pokémon. It's really strange that XY only had one new Bug line despite there being plenty more insects and arachnids who have yet to get the Pokémon treatment.
|
I'll like the idea of the glow worm and Aphid. I just hope that they won't give the glow worm Luminate as it's ability.

I wouldn't mind getting another butterfly Pokémon, and maybe a moth too. But it'd also be nice if we got something we've never seen before. I don't care too much about what design it would be, but it would be cool to see some unique Bug typing combination. I'd love to be able to get a Bug/Dark type early on in the game. Even another Bug/Ghost that isn't Shedinja would be cool ^^

Bug/Dark... it reminds me of that one fake Pokemon we saw a pic of in the lead-up to XY's release that I was hoping would be real. Oh well, hopefully 7th Gen will finally introduce this awesome type combination.

I'm just praying it is as cool as Vivillon. An actually kind of strong beginner bug, that had a cool gimmick (large variety of styles.) They shouldn't all be boring pieces of crap like Kricketune.
|
Personally I'm hoping it's something stronger like Scolipede or Leavanny.
I feel like the bug type ought to get something more than "early game bug" this time around. (don't get me wrong Vivillon was a cool idea but I don't really want to see another butterfly/moth or some throwaway early bug like Burmy or Kricketune) Still waiting for that stick insect Pokemon... |
I could see the gen 7 bug/flying type be based off of this http://www.bishopmuseum.org/research/natsci/ento/images/fiji-lep.jpg
|
I could see a Bug/Dragon Pokemon with a Bug/Fairy counterpart, maybe go the Beautifly and Dustox route with the same worm and then it split.
This could the Bug/Fairy http://bugguide.net/images/raw/MHV/HGH/MHVHGHBH8HTHIHJH6H3HPHZR5LEZ8LLR2H3HPHLR8LPZGHTHXHCH5H2ZZL5Z0LAHZLPZMHVH7HEZMH.jpg This is a Wooly Aphid |
I loved all the bug pokemon in Unova, it that is extremely rare for me to love any bug types.
Again it depends on the location in which the pokemon games are based. I for one really want a Bug/Ice, Bug/Dark, and Bug/Fairy chains. I am tired of the Moth/Butterfly pokemon. It would be nice if they had some others. For Singapore, Libellago hyaline would be a great pokemon. For Hawaii Assassin Bugs would be amazing for Bug/Dark. |

A silverfish would make me happy :)
|
I'm picturing two bug lines, similar to caterpie and weedle that each evolve two times, with the last evo for both lines changing dependings on if it evolves during the day or at night, seeing as the game is Sun & Moon.
|
Keep in mind guys that not all Pokémon are based on animals native to the place that the region is based on. *Fennekin much?* Anyways, a Sun Moth is taken already. Maybe a moon counterpart for Volcarona...

There was also the common misconception that Wurmple evolved into one of its lines at day and the other at night, but Beautifly and Dustox still tended to follow the typical theme of one early Bug-type being happy and cheerful (such as Butterfree and Leavanny) and one menacing one (like Beedrill and Scolipede). Maybe we might get a duo whose encounter rate was like Ledyba and Spinarak, a happy-looking line found in the day and a scarier line found at night. |

It would be nice to have a bug type line with something to that effect though. |
