I don't even want to start on Dark/Fighting type Shiftless Urban Youth Pokemon With Saggy Pants.

Dark/Fighting is actually a pretty solid combo for Gen 5 - the Dark type covers the Fighting type's Psychic weakness pretty well. I used a Scrafty in my Pokemon Black playthrough, and it did pretty well.

Admittedly, once Fairy type was introduced, the combination does kind of get it in the shorts.

Please a realistic ecosystem would surely have Pidgeots hunting bug or grass types, why would it ignore the type advantage in order to hunt Bunearys?

Four Regis, Claydol and Baltoy, and Golem. That's seven. Golem is called golem so he counts as a golem.

Golurk's design is pretty different from those guys.

E: I guess I can see some similarities with the Regis, but like Claydol?

Magnezone is a scary-looking UFO. At the very least it's not just adding more parts to the pre-evos.

Golem is a kaiju. It's based on a baddie from Ultraman, I think.

How much postgame content is there in OR/AS? Thinking of picking it up in anticipation of Gen 8 since I skipped Gen 6.

EDIT: Dexnav sounds awesome but ugh to having to use HMs again.

Klink's line's worst sin is that we need more non-Legendary mono-Steel types.

Golem's name is weird - to my knowledge it's the only Pokemon whose name is just a single regular word? At least the French version did the :effort: of naming it Grolem/"Fatlem".

Yeah, Farfetch'd and Muk are the only other ones I can think of and they at least minorly changed the spelling there.

If a Gen 1 Pokémon look weird odds are it's a Kaiju reference.

I've heard theories that Aggron is based on a metal-eating kaiju from a North Korean movie of all things.

There are more like that: Onix, Krabby, Bayleef, Seel, Jynx, Tauros, Unown, Qwilfish, Ducklett, Throh, Sawk, etc. (and then there's edge cases like word but just in reverse: Rotom, Ekans, Arbok)
