Pokemon General Poll # 17 - Confusing Pokemon Anatomy?

[Chatot Lover]

Found this just for you.

Haha, you don't know how much I had to laugh just now xD
This is awesome!

 

[Eucliffe]

...That Gardevoir thing boggles my mind XD;

Anyways,

Is there a pokemon you can think of that you just get confused by the anatomy, or the artwork of it? If you could, how would you fix that? (or would you?)

Besides ones already mentioned (the Anorith/Lileep families, the one that most comes to mind is Yamask. I had thought that the pointy part was the rest of its head...until the anime showed that it was just its nose. Since then I don't find it as cute as I did before ;;

Another Pokemon that comes to mind is Azurill. I can't count the number of times I thought it was part Water. It doesn't help that it evolves into pure Water types either, or that it learned Bubble. Why Nintendo ever made it Normal, I'll never understand.

I can't think of any others, other than ones that I'd rather not mention on here...

 

[pineco-a-go-go]

I never knew that Azurill was normal type until just now. I guess I never bothered to raise one. I guess we all learn a little something every day...

 

[gvgisdi]

Umm, look at this.

Hm. I always thought it was a nose, but I don't know now. :(

 

[Truality]

Except for those already mentioned, I'm probably the only one who originally thought that kyogre's red-linear fins were ears (the backsprite confused me even more). I'm just not used to seeing this kind of fin in a fish-type pokemon. (stupid 13 year old me)

Diglett Nose Mouth

I just found out that the "pink nose" on Diglett is actually a mouth, the white spec on him is actually a tooth.

If you look at the "spec" you'll notice that it fits as a mouth.

He looks cuter without a nose, I prefer the mouth and tooth thing.

 

[Nick]

Can't unsee. o___O

If only there wasn't a shadow underneath, then it would be possibly one of the cutest Pokémon ever!

 

[Sydian]

OMG. -checks the Dugtrio I'm raising on FR- I think it applies there too. Diglett is cute knowing that, but Dugtrio looks like derpy hillbillies. lol

 

[Legobricks]

Amusing observation, but, 'actually'? No — look at other official artwork, such as this, and the original TCG picture. It's a protuberance.
That said, I can't necessarily see it as a nose either.

 

[SolWolf]

I could've sworn I heard this before...

Seriously though, that's a nose.

 

[Guest123_x1]

Just searched the web for whether it's a mouth or nose after first seeing this, and it appears many people have been asking (and debating) whether it's a nose or mouth.
It's clearly a nose, considering the shadow underneath, and the white spot is a reflection of light. (I always thought it as a nose from the moment I first saw Diglett.) Its mouth is hidden under the nose.

 

[Logiedan]

I think I've read this "mystery" somewhere else as well.

Where is the tooth though?! ):

 

[7Mufasa7]

yea its definitely a nose.
or that tooth wouldve had to been darker. and why 1 tooth off to the side? not in the middle? its the reflection of the light

 

[Gunn]

I guess not a whole lot of people remember the Diglett episode in the first season.

It's always been a nose to me without any second thoughts. I can recall how Diglett moves in Pokemon Stadium. What I think is a nose, wiggled a lot sooo.... I'll just use this as a confirmation. Also, search for "Diglett Flying" on Youtube. :>



whaaaaaat? it's cute.

 

[cazzler]

Yeah its a nose not a mouth lol, I'd prefer it to be the nose anyway, if it was a mouth, it would look weird to me in my opinion.

 

[The Nightmare]

I did not know that the pink thing was the mouth, I wonder where it's nose is though?

 

[PlatinumDude]

The pink thing on Diglett is clearly a nose. If it had a mouth, then it's not visible; it's probably hidden underneath its fur.

 

[Pokemon Trainer Touko]

No way! :'D That looks nothing like a mouth! Even a kindergarten kid would agree. o.o

 

[vaporeon7]

It is clearly a nose, on the dream world art and on other pictures the light spot reflection is a light pink, not white.

I'd imagine its nose is hidden at the bottom of the nose.

 

[Shining Raichu]

Oh my God, I always just assumed it was a nose but now that I look at it it does work both ways! That's some clever designing there.
