So I brought this up in the Most Unattractive Pokemon thread, but some of the Pokemon (actually, surprisingly a lot of them) have extremely disturbing or alarming descriptions when you read Pokedex entries or stuff covered in other media.
Yamask is the most extreme example, and if you want to know why, read its Pokedex descriptions:
...Yeah. So we're all going to turn into Yamask eventually. Some sooner than others if his evolution Cofa grigus is any indication:
There's lots of other creepy ones that I've found too. My favorite is Cacturne, because they're described as being nocturnal carnivores that stay completely still during the day but pursue human prey during the night until they tire, attacking them in packs. There's a couple others too:
Shiftry and Hypno also have some disturbing aspects if you want to look them up.
So as you can see, Pokemon's kinda got a lot of nightmare fuel here. o_0
Have you noticed any of these and do you know of any others? What do you think about these getting through into an E-rated game? :xd:
Yamask is the most extreme example, and if you want to know why, read its Pokedex descriptions:
Pokedex: Yamask said:White: Each of them carries a mask that used to be its face when it was human. Sometimes they look at it and cry.
Black: These Pokémon arose from the spirits of people interred in graves in past ages. Each retains memories of its former life.
...Yeah. So we're all going to turn into Yamask eventually. Some sooner than others if his evolution Cofa grigus is any indication:
Pokedex: Cofa grigus said:Black: It has been said that they swallow those who get too close and turn them into mummies. They like to eat gold nuggets.
There's lots of other creepy ones that I've found too. My favorite is Cacturne, because they're described as being nocturnal carnivores that stay completely still during the day but pursue human prey during the night until they tire, attacking them in packs. There's a couple others too:
Pokedex: Dusclops said:Diamond & Pearl: Its body is hollow. It is said that those who look into its body are sucked into the void.
Platinum: It seeks drifting will-o'-the-wisps and sucks them into its empty body. What happens inside is a mystery.
HeartGold & SoulSilver: Anyone who dares peer into its body to see its spectral ball of fire will have their spirit stolen away.
Pokedex: Froslass said:Diamond & Pearl: It freezes foes with an icy breath nearly -60 degrees F. What seems to be its body is actually hollow.
Platinum: It freezes prey by blowing its -58 degree F breath. It is said to then secretly display its prey.
HeartGold & SoulSilver: Legends in snowy regions say that a woman who was lost on an icy mountain was reborn as Froslass.
Shiftry and Hypno also have some disturbing aspects if you want to look them up.
