Have you heard of the giant isopod?

I was gonna find and post a picture of one but I'm about to go to sleep and I kinda don't want to have nightmares of those things.

I can hear you
Golisopod the goliath isopod is indeed an arthropod, but should have 7 pairs of limbs as all isopoda do. I don't think any arthropod pokemon have the "right" amount of legs, but thats ok because 4 legs puts them squarely in the dog category.

I got this for a Ratatta on GTS.


The main reason why bug Pokémon are designed with reduced number of limbs is that Pokémon are generally more anthropomorphic then what they're based on.

I've been playing Silver on VC recently. I only played gold at the time long enough to beat the first 8 gyms and then sell it, because I was suddenly over pokemon (until gen 4).

The point of the story is that HootHoot is a cool owl pokemon, and I always forgot it existed. It's better than Rowlet, because it doesn't turn into an emo boy or some hooded stalker. Popplio line still the best in that gen though. And Totodile best starter overall forever.

Anyway, this concludes my updated finding in my pokemon research. Thanks for reading.

Honestly, my Monferno came out much better than I thought it would. Part of me just wanted to draw Goku, but on fire, but I put some effort in instead.

You made me put effort into this, you monster.

HootHoot was my first ever sunny tho. Benched him agree he evolved and suddenly stopped pulling his weight.
