Crystalisk - Boldore in Boderlands?!

[TheBigMan0706]

I noticed something weird today while i was playing borderlands 2 with some people online. I was in somewhere called "The Caustic Caves" and found monsters called Crystalisk. Is it me, or do they remind me of Boldore's long lost cousin?

Hah, I noticed that too. I named my Gigalith "Crystallisk" in BW2.

Makes me wonder.

1. Were the people incharge of Borderlands 2 pokemon fans and

2. what other monsters are based off of pokemon?
