Thread: More Bug Pokemon

There need to be loads more bug Pokémon. There aren't any ant Pokémon, cockroach, fly or mosquito. We need lots more.

For an ant Pokémon it could start off as a larval, then if it's male and has a high attack or something it becomes a soldier ant, if it's male and has a high HP or something it becomes a worker ant. If the larval is female (which would be very rare, like female Combee) it would become a queen ant.

While I wouldn't say we need loads more, we could use some of the ones you listed. And following the patterns of older games, we very well may.

So long as it is not Bug/Flying or Bug /Poison, some innovation cannot go amiss.

Yes let's make 30 bug type Pokemon, then they will never be used due to Stealth Rock.

We just need more stronger bug Pokémon if you as me.

They should make a legendary Bug pokemon.

Since ants live in the ground, they could easily be Bug/Ground.

Or bug/fire in the case of fire ants.

You're right there definitely needs to be more bug types. Maybe bug/electric?

Bullet ants could turn out pretty cool. Don't think anyone would want a cockroach, fly or mosquito.

Unless there's some sort of RL insect that emits/stores electric power, I doubt it.

I think they were thinking fireflies

Don't tell me they can't do it, they could make it half electric if they wanted to. It's pokemon, they aren't restricted by logic.

EDIT: That's a perfect example Ryuutakesh!

Thing is, we already have Volbeat and Illumise. Do we need any more fireflies?

Yes, because...

1) We need actual Bug/Electric lightning bugs
2) We need ones that don't suck

...which should be the premise for all future Bug Pokemon: Different type combinations and ones that don't suck.

Doing it Wrong
Surskit -> Masquerain
Wurmple -> Cascoon/Silcoon -> Duxtox/Beautifly
Volbeat
Illumise
Combee -> Vespiquen

Doing it Right
Heracross
Scyther -> Scizor
Pineco -> Forretress
Yanma -> Yanmega
Nincada -> Ninjask + Shedinja

We do need more bug pokemon, Instrutilus is running out of things to stalk LOL
