Patron Request - Alternative Weepinbel Evolution
Added 2018-06-22 23:07:04 +0000 UTCThe leaked Gold and Silver prototypes revealed an unused Weepinbel evolution resembling a larger Bellsprout, which apparently would have evolved with a "poison stone."
I like it, and I wish we'd gotten it, but if it HAD been up to me, I think it should have looked a little more toxic. Sure, they're already grass/poison types, but a "poison stone" evolution logically should've delved more into the poison theme.
So, here's my original pokemon, DETHLYNEL.
"Its incredibly concentrated poisons make short work of those foolish enough to mistake Dethlynel for the weaker Bellsprout it associates with."
"Its vivid coloration is attractive to hungry bug pokemon, but they soon become prey to be shared with its Bellsprout seedlings."
Comments
Tsubo is basically "jar" or "pot" or some similar receptacle, the Japanese equivalent of the Chinese word "hu", which is why the entire family has "bell" or "bel" in their names as a sort of reference. Entirely possible that Tsubomitto has some sort of pun or linguistic gimmick we non-native speakers aren't aware off.

2018-06-24 02:10:00 +0000 UTCthe fan translation even decided that the unused weepinbel evo would be called "wiltybel," though I don't think they derived that from its Japanese name (tsubomitto)
