That thing looks like an intestinal worm wtf  

I think it’s inspired by a tubeworm but on the ground

[Dark Miracles]

Wiglett giving me

 

[Canon]

Its cute and camp so I'll give it a pass  

[aayAlex]

another pure type chileeee

[By the Water]

Damn they're running out of ideas

[Pop Life]

They're wasting my time and pokedex space with Merkin or whatever that thing is.

[J-esper]

What I hate is that they are giving certain species way too much. Even though Wiglett is technically a new Pokémon, it would be much more interesting had they chosen Ekans and Arbok for this concept and would have made a counter species in snake realm rather than Wiglett

I wonder who GF has a fixation with Diglet, that thing should've stayed in gen I, there's no reason for it to have 1 regional form and also this new fake form or whatever it is.

I think it's mostly because it's a rather simple design, much like Meowth, so it's easier to make something else out of them in comparison to other more complicated ones. 

 

I don't exactly mind this one being a mono type since the original Diglett (and Dugtrio) is also pure Ground, but there's no excuse for the Dolphin mon (and even Cetitan, the TERRA Whale Pokemon) to be mono types. 

 

Like why is the Hake Fish Pokemon the one part Psychic but not the Dolphin?

Unless it's the Eevee line, Pikachu line, or Dratini line, these Kanto mons and their cousins need to STAY in Kanto.

I dig Wiglet, it looks so cute

[Acetone]

I think it’s supposed to be like a garden eel

 

[BambiStar]

Garden eel mon is a cool concept and should've been brand new

 

why it had to be linked to Diglett of all things 

[Rith]

i love how this rfake idea was around since crown tundra, as galarian birds are NOT actually adaptations but simply naming coincidence lore-wise. sadly the pun that explains this is only in japanese. 

 

G Moltres entry:

 

The sinister aura that blazes like molten fire around this Pokémon is what inspired the name Moltres.

 

Moltres' japanese name is Fire.

 

G articuno (jap name Freezer)

 

Known as Articuno, this Pokémon fires beams that can immobilize opponents as if they had been frozen solid.

 

Zapdos (jap name Thunder)

 

When its feathers rub together, they produce a crackling sound like the zapping of electricity. That's why this Pokémon is called Zapdos.

 

 

this also makes sense because these legendaries are supposed to be unique creatures

it's white, it's long, so yes  but it's also pot calling the kettle black

[FOCK]

Other than the dirt/sand in the model rotating with Wiglett  It’s cute. 

 

If they were getting back to their Kanto bag though, Meowth deserved a Paldean divergent form.

Nah, Hypno, Dewgong and Dodrio still deserve something

[Rith]

someone in reddit said that regional forms are ALL the same species of animal/plant, exeguttor is a palm tree, vulpix is a fox etc. etc.

but diglett/wiglett is a different animal altogether  im liking this lookalike concept tbh

 

my wishlist is:

tumbleweed tangela

comet staryu

cloud geodude

bird-egg eggxecute that evolves into a bird doduo nest with 3 heads exegutor  

 

 

edit: the japanese naming is GENIUS actually. it's basically "seadiglett" just like how in real life sea-horses and sea cucumbers are named they look like the sea version of their counterpart while actually being completely unrelated

Tentacool also has a clone coming up, grass type mushroom thing

[Magickarp]

Wiglett >>> Diglett, i actually wanna use Wig on my team.

Sucks that she's mono Water & there's already so many cool new Water type concepts in Paldea already 

 

I wonder if the stats & BST will be wildly different, unlike Regionals.
