Trubbish is in no way a germ. ):
And as far as I know, Nintendo didn't develop the Pokemon games; they just published them.

True that, though it would be impossible for me to befriend...a trash bag. xD I don't exactly hate it in any sense, but I have an appropriate dislike for the Pokemon at times. :>

When I said 'germ fiesta', I was thinking at the time of posting about the aforementioned Grimer and Trubbish thriving in unhygienic waste, similar to that of cockroaches.

I feel so bad for Trubbish/Garbodor. They can do everything to try to befriend people, and people immediately dismiss them because of their appearance :(((((

Out of the trash bag evolution I only like Trubbish. Because it's cute while Garbador is a monsterus creature. Imagine the preschoolers in the Black & white Anime Series with a Garbador & imagine the Teacher's face! :D

:( I can't be around the smell.

The cockroach thing wouldn't be a bad idea, only the more I think about it the more I imagine it being a stinkbug that is Bug/Poison. :( I assume if a Pokémon like that existed it wouldn't have a prayer at not being a Poison-type. ;o;

I'm sure they make good friends with hobos.

Also, poor Monsters inc. Nobody remembers those guys.

So I was in Philosophy and my mind was on Pokemon and not only did I draw some concept art for a two-Pokemon evolution line of grass/ghost jack-o-lanterns, but I was thinking...what do you think is inside the coffin that Cofagrigus has? Did the ghost possess a mummy, or is the ghost the ghost of the human like Yamask? If it just possessed the coffin...where did the mummy go?!

My guess is it is the spirit of a deceased "being", that was originally put in that coffin, so it would be a Mummy as the ability implies. Although the concept of Ghost pokemon always trick me, cause you can hatch them from eggs which means they are born but they are Ghosts... So maybe it's just a greater being of Yamask that evolved into what it is.

Since Yamask was said to be a human, I believe what's inside the coffin would be something along the lines of that. Not any bodies, no. But perhaps spirits, as Kenshin said?

My friend and I were discussing this not too long ago. Given that Yamask was once a human, does that mean that when one is hatched, a human dies? o.O

I agree with the suggestion of a spirit inside the coffin. It could be the spirit of a pharaoh, thus the "curse of the pharaoh" that Cofragrigus is based on. It also explains why it loves gold so much as all royalty does. So the coffin would contain a mummy of an ancient pharaoh whose ghost occupies the coffin.

No, not really. I presume when I human dies, there's a small chance that the human could become a Yamask. So, everytime I human dies, if that human was "chosen" some Cofagrigus parent would lay an egg which would hatch into the Yamask.

Just a presumption, though.

I don't think cofagrigus is holding something inside. The whole concept I grasped off this pokemon is that the cass itself moves, and is just hollow inside.

That's a fair point. I also like it, it just makes those people who hates inanimate objects becoming Pokemon even more furious! xD

Well from Cofagrigus' sprite animation, I can deduce that the top portion of the sarcophagus kind of opens to reveal its eyes and mouth and the hands creep out from the sides. A spirit/ghost, I think.
Not absolutely certain, but yeah.

Reminds me of a comic I read once:
Spoiler:


I don't think Cofagrigus is holding something inside either, I'd imagine it would be somewhat heavier if it was.

I always imagine it like this: spirits of humans enter a Yamask or Cofagrigus and it becomes mother to this new spirit by giving it form and consciousness as it stays inside it. The spirit fertilises the mother's egg, and a later the egg is laid and hatches into a baby Yamask, a newly formed ghost.

Because a spirit doesn't become a full ghost until it has gained form.

@Vaporeon: That's one of the funniest images I've ever seen. xD
