Name: Spoony6205
Pick two Bug-type Partner Pokémon: Heracross and Mega Heracross (or if that's not allowed Heracross and Genesect)
Reason(s) for liking Bug-types: It's weird really because I'm not a big fan of bugs in real life but Pokemon bugs are cool and interesting and in most cases pretty cute! They can be pretty useful in battle too.
Answer to current topic: Joltik is actually one bug Pokemon that I don't use because Galvantula really creeps me out as I'm terrified of spiders! It's a shame though because I'd really like to use a bug/electric Pokemon. Maybe we'll get another one someday! Joltik itself is pretty cute though and as it only has four legs doesn't scare me!

Pick two Bug-type Partner Pokémon: Joltik and Vivillon

Reason(s) for liking Bug-types: They are cute and they evolve very quickly.They are also useful in battles with the ability to attack most Pokemon with their a bit powerful attacks that made liking them usually.

Answer to current topic: Aww, my favorite Pokemon is in the current Pokemon topic yay! Joltik is so...sos cute and is very much useful in battles(Its evolved form was also good though).Joltik small size(It is considered as the smallest Pokemon) was made him adorable and liking Joltik so so much.

Pick two Bug-type Partner Pokémon: Ledian and Yanmega

Reason(s) for liking Bug-types: They are actually my super favorite type and I talk about them constantly XD. They are really cool and cute. They are fun to use, great during early game, and even have late game potential. They are some of the best to play with for fun and even to compete with. I also think insects are interesting, and Bug types have some of the most unique and individual qualities.

Answer to current topic: Joltik is super adorable, and is a fierce pokemon when it evolves. I actually read a story that had a really interesting joltik in it that could write in the dirt because it was intelligent, and that made me even more interested in it. Spider pokemon also have really interesting dynamics, and with a move like electroweb, doubles are easy to play in with both little cup joltik, and non-little cup Galvantula! If I had to own any first form pokemon it would be Ledyba and Joltik because both are the cutest.

Welcome! Bug-types definitely are among some of the most unique Pokémon and I agree that they are fun to use. I enjoy taking down Psychic and Dark-types with them for sure.

Welcome! It makes sense, Bug Pokémon are much cooler than real bugs :P Bugs really are interesting to learn about because they have some cool quirks, but they can be pretty creepy/gross when you're faced with them.

Also, I'll give you Mega Heracross and Genesect if that's alright.

Welcome! Bug-types do have some good attacks to take out their opponents, which is something I've been glad to see improve over the last 5 years or so.

As for Joltik, I'm glad to see everyone thinks it's cute because it definitely is. Also I never really noticed that Joltik would be good in Little Cup, but looking now I see that it definitely would be a great choice.
 
Hi! As I'm new to the club I thought I'd tackle some of the previous topics!

What is your favorite Bug-type Pokémon?
I might be a little obsessed with Heracross :) It's strong but cute and I like it not having an evolution line (but glad it got a cool mega!)

What is your favorite Bug-type move?
Bug Bite because it deals damage as well as depriving the opponent of it's berry if it has one.

What Bug-type Pokémon should get a Mega Evolution?
I'd like to see a mega for Volcarona as it's a very cool Pokemon with unique typing.

Which bug types do you feel are the absolute best when it comes to competitive play and which ones are great but need better movesets?
I don't really battle competively and if I do I really just use my fave Pokemon. Heracross and Volcarona would be picks for sure and in the game Genesect destroys everything!

When I get some time I really want to sit down and experiment with a wider selection of bug types and learn more about them... You guys are already inspiring me!
 
Gonna take a break from Pokémon of the Week since I had an interesting idea for a topic:

What would you like to see done with the Bug-type in future Pokémon games?

Basically, think of ideas for Pokémon, moves, type combinations, etc.
 
I'd definitely like to see more type combinations, Bug/Fairy would be top of my list!
There is an insect known as a fairyfly or fairy wasp but not many of it's variants are very pretty! They are very very tiny so rarely noticed by humans with children more likely to spot them. That could make for a good Pokemon thing if they're really hard to find in the wild. Perhaps there could me a myth!

This one is kinda pretty...

I'll add my thoughts on this topic.

I want to see a Bug/Dragon-type honestly. This is something I've wanted for quite a while just because I think it would be pretty awesome. I'd also like to see a proper Bug/Water-type since the only one we have is Surskit, which doesn't even really count to me since it evolves out of that type.

Totally agree with you there! There should be at least one Dual Bug-type for all types.
A Bug/Dragon would be so awesome! Rawr!

I agree, I feel like Yanmega was a missed opportunity for this type combination, but I do hope we can get an actual Bug/Dragon-type in later generations because I saw a Fakemon with the type and figured how awesome it would be.
 
Name: S-MAN
Pick two Bug-type Partner Pokémon: Yanma &Ledian
Reason(s) for liking Bug-types: They evolve the fastest, many have unique bright colors/patterns, can be menacing towards psychic-type pokemon, and are fun to battle with.
Answer to current topic: A new way to interact with our bug pokemon- perhaps a special contest involving only bug pokemon to compete against and something to customize their looks. Maybe some new side evolutions for the older pokemon like how we had bellossom added to gloom.

Welcome! (Sorry I'm late!) I totally agree with this for all types. I think each Pokémon type should have something unique that can be done with it.

So I have a new topic for us, which I've snatched from Hikamaru's Water-type club (with her permission of course).

Create your own new Bug-type move, with PP, Base Power, Accuracy and Description.

I'll think of something for this and post it when I do :P
 
Vigor scent
PP: 10
Base Power: -
Accuracy: 100
Description: Raises the attack and evasiveness of all pokemon in a battle (by one stage).
Outside of battle: Attracts more bug-type pokemon (increases odds through encounter in area).
 
I apologize as it's been quite a while since I've posted, but things are slowing down a bit for me so I should be back to my regular activity from now on. Anyway, here's our first Pokémon of the Week in quite a while!

Spoiler:


Durant!

X Pokédex: Individuals each play different roles in driving Heatmor, their natural predator, away from their colony.

I always found rivalries in Pokémon fascinating, and this one is no exception. It's cool to see some of these things even if they don't play a ton of importance to the games (correct me if I'm wrong on that).

Durant is a neat little bug and it's pretty strong, but it's never really done a whole lot to stand out to me. It does get some decent moves and can hit pretty hard, so it's still a pretty good Pokémon to use.
 
I like Durant a lot. I think ants are quite fascinating and Pokemon gave replicated their habits nicely. I agree about Rivalries, they are a neat feature that add detail to the world. Shiny Durants are beautiful! I think Durant would be a good candidate to get a Mega, perhaps becoming a flying ant! Battle wise, they're immune to Poison which is pretty useful. I like how they jump out of the bushes in XY! Definitely one of my favourite Bug-types!
 
Sorry for the MAJOR lack of activity, but I am back now and I have a new topic for everyone!

Would you like to see a Bug-type as a starter (to be combined with Fire/Grass/Water)?

I think this would be a pretty cool concept that could switch the game up a bit. A lot of games seem to have the cliche of having a forest early on in the game which naturally contains at least 1 or 2 Bug-types. If a Bug-type were introduced early on, it could mean a switch from that philosophy and a few different types could be available early on that may not normally be introduced.

That may seem like kind of a goofy reason for wanting that, but it would be a nice refresher to not have a forest so early in the game as we've seen quite often.

Oh my gosh, totally! Not only would it be very cool for those who like Bug-types it may also make new players appreciate them more! It would also add new design opportunities for the Starters!

I'm part way with you on the forest thing. Whilst it is predictable that there will be a forest early on in the game, it's cool that you get a chance to add some to your team early on. On the other hand, it'd be nice to have a more challenging forest later on in the game with higher level bugs!
 
Got a new topic for us to discuss:

Who is/are your favorite Bug-type user(s)?

I'm still a fan of Bugsy after all these years. He's quirky and very...weird, but his passion for Bug-types is unmatched and his knowledge is above seemingly every other Bug-type user around (at least in Johto), so he's a great trainer.

I think you're right, Bugsy is the best when it comes to all things bugs! But to choose my fave I would go with Viola, simply because she's a girl and I like her personality and the Pokemon she uses! I liked her first battle with Ash in the anime, how she was at a type disadvantage but because of the way she used her Pokemon she won.

Pick two Bug-type Partner Pokémon: Ariados, Butterfree

Reason(s) for liking Bug-types: They're cute, kinda mysterious, and one with nature. I also like how bug type Pokemon are especially useful early game due to how fast they evolve!

Answer to current topic: Viola
Click to expand...

Welcome! Bug-types definitely are great due to their quick evolutions, and I agree they do have a bit of a mysterious vibe to them. Also sorry this took so long! D:

This was sort of inspired by the above, but I've decided on another Pokémon of the Week!

Spoiler:


Butterfree!

FireRed Pokédex: The wings are protected by a rain-repellent dust. As a result, this Pokémon can fly about even in rain.

Nothing will stop this bug!

Butterfree is one of my favorites. It gets a fairly decent movepool and it utilizes it somewhat well. I would really like to see it get a Mega Evolution considering that Beedrill got one in OR/AS. It could benefit from having a bit more speed and getting a boost in Special Attack as well.
