The remoraid octillary evolution finally makes sense now

Wonder if one or both were going to be steel type originally

Remoraid is still recognizably a Remington (with the context of its name) and Octillary is still recognizably artillery with its weird little barrel mouth.

I never clocked it I dont really know my guns. Makes complete sense now

yeah okay however "pokemon but you can murder not-pikachu with an assault rifle" just doesn't roll off the tongue the same way

Water cannons are not guns

[–] fanbois@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

Then why do the cops put them on tanks and shoot them at people?

[–] PapaStevesy@midwest.social 9 points 2 years ago

Yes they are.

Palworld would be a thousand times cooler if they used this and things like Mantine's under-wing Remoraid Remington turrets to have a proper interpretation of Pokemon organized militarily rather than for sport combat. Like, little monkeys using pistols and big monsters carrying guns larger than a human can wield is valid, but by itself that doesn't use the material a tenth as well as it could be. Are there even psychic types using telekinesis for their weapons or anything? What about Pokemon physically being weapons like Dragapult uses? Some little Fairy Pokemon handling reloading for you? So much wasted potential.

Digimon has deputymon, Yu-Gi-Oh has barrel dragon, Yokai Watch has cupistol, etc. I wonder which creature collector franchise doesn't have guns
