Watch out for Ghosts! (Everything must be Pokemon Related)

112

Since Mawille came out I've been trying to figure out what it is.
 
113.

To me Sableye looks like the shadows from the Kingdom Hearts games, just purple instead of black.
 
116

Pokemon are based on animals so which creatures could they be made from?
 
118

Could be. The thing coming out of Mawille's head looks like a Chain Chomp from Mario.
 
119

I missed 100 again? ;; /really needs to post here more

Girafarig's tail looks more like a Chain Chomp than Mawile's iron leaf thing.
 
120

Yes it does but Mawille's leaf kind of does too. Mawille looks almost like a creature ragdoll.
 
121

Quoth Bulbapedia: It may have been based on the Japanese legend of the futakuchi-onna, a woman with a mouth in the back of her head. The fact that it can learn various Grass-type moves may indicate a relation to a carnivorous plant, similar to Carnivine.

I'm still with ya on the ragdoll thing, though.
 
122

Really? That's intresting. Its said that parents have eyes in the back of their eyes. Never heard of a whole face. XD
 
123

I remember reading up on the futakuchi-onna, but never thought Mawile was based after it.

What's interesting about the origins of most Pokemon is that none of them really have the same exact origin. I mean, Blastoise is based on a tortoise of some sort, but Torterra is based on the world turtle thing from an origin story or something like that.
 
124

I wouldn't think they'd make two pokemon from the same thing, same speices but different type yes. Like there are a lot of pokemon based of birds but different types. And theres also pokemon made from Cryptids, like Lapras is based off the legend of The Lockness Monster.
 
125

And a whole bunch of the Dragons are based off of some sort of Dragon~

Mythology, Religion... Pokemon catches 'em all.

I like that. XD

And then you have Pokemon you don't know where they came from like Sableye and the goth tower in Gen V.
 
127

"Goth" Tower? You mean Gochiruzeru, or an actual tower in-game? XD

Quoth Bulbapedia: Sableye is a stylization of the Hopkinsville Goblin, a creature from an alleged Kentucky "alien encounter" described as having shining eyes, small legs, clawed arms and swaying hips (a movement that Sableye does indeed imitate in the 3-D Pokémon games). The Hopkinsville aliens are most famous in Japan, where they have appeared in other anime and video games.

128

Yeah, that's the one. I haven't memorized the Japanese names yet.

Oh, I've never heard of them. Sableye reminds me of the shadows in the Kingdom Hearts games.
 
129

I haven't either. I had to go on Bulbapedia and look up "Gochimu" (or "Gothimu" as it's now called) since I remember that one.

...I can kind of see that. It's just like these guys:
[PokeCommunity.com] Watch out for Ghosts! (Everything must be Pokemon Related)

remind me of Final Fantasy monsters. And it can learn SOLARBEAM naturally? Holy crap.
 
130

Oh.

That guy scares me, he's creepy looking. Reaslly? Butf he looks Ice/Steel.
