5th Gen Ononokusu is not a mantis!

[MistahDude]

Ononokusu is not a Mantis! He doesn't even remotely resemble a mantis! I don't know why tons of people and even Serebii think so.

They look nothing alike!

 

[dieter57]

yeah. agreed.
but did you really have to make a thread ranting about it? idk
but he does look like a bug dragon type to me.

a bug-dragon type would be awesome :D

 

[Calder]

Maybe it could be a Fighting/Dragon type that some people wanted before... I don't see the mantis at all either I think it is a Dragon with an axe on its head.

Of course it isn't a mantis. It's a Pokémon.

Pikachu is called the "Mouse Pokémon." Does it look like a mouse? No, it looks like a Pikachu.

Exactly!
I can't stand when people say "I can't even tell what it is!" It's obvious what it is, it's a Pokemon!

Aggreed. For example:

What is that supposed to be?
IDK

Its name has Mantis in it. It looks like some sorta Dino mantis. i'm excited about it.

Nah. Its name has Fear in it according to Pokebeach.

 

[tangvor]

Well it kind of sorta in a way does
But as the other person said pokemon are pokemon.

 

[Jaiyke]

who honestly cares what it's based on?..
i just LIKE it >=O
but i sense a Front Row Seat for the Over-Used Community for it =\

 

[pichuspark]

Thank you!! Dragon-Axe is NOT a mantis! Although it looks Rock/Dragon or Bug/Dragon to me...or Bug/Steel if Game Freak wants to toy with the community :/

 

[MistahDude]

HONESTLY!
Are you serious?

I mean, IT IS THE MANTIS-LIKE POKEMON.
IT IS MANTIS. DUHHHH.

(Sooooorryyyyy if I was harsh, but it IS....)

That isnt official. Mantis isnt in his name. Serebii just had bad vision and called it a Mantis even though it shares NO features with a Mantis.

 

[Phantom Poodle]

Honestly based on the blurry sprite from a video I can't really tell what it looks like.

Or at least not enough to assess whether it looks like a mantis or a dinosaur. :/

I'mma wait for muh Sugimori artz.

 

[Dillon_68]

It's not a mantis, case closed. People are just trying to find an excuse to make the rumors about a new mantis Pokemon come true.

 

[PiPVoda]

The shape of its head, and its stance do resemble the mantis. Well before you get all up in my grill, to ME it does. Idk why I see a resemblance, but other than that they look nothing alike. Some people call it a mantis, well maybe they have reasoning too. Some pokemon look nothing like the animals they're based off of, and we can't say it is or isn't a mantis until we have more info on it.

Scyther is The Mantis Pokemon they wouldn't make another one lol they only do that with like fish and stuff

 

[PiPVoda]

So just b/c we already have a mantis pokemon that means there shouldn't be anymore? The reason that there are diff. fish is because there are soo many species of fish on Earth to render them after.

Thats exactly what I said... They usually don't repeat... Thanks for repeating me and everything :) I'm saying its not likely a mantis because of Scyther being the Mantis and because it looks nothing like a mantis...
