We talking about final forms, op? because

I just imagined Dragonite going "Baa" like a sheep at the end of the gif and it made me crack up

My husband meowed... worked nicely.

All Dratini forms retain the same "notice me, senpai" vibe.

Also check out the webcomic he's been working on @ truevillains.com it's amazing. Sadly he's leaving, and they're looking for new artists ;)

Haha, I remember I saw this just a few days after finishing my one. Was so jelly.

I agree. I've seen this one many times and have watched it almost as long as I've stared at all the Eeveelutions.

+1 for including all the eeveelutions.

Drag a pic out and that's what you evolve your eevee in to.

Man, I would love to see these in slowmotion, but too lazy to do it myself.

You the type of person who says that to get other people to do it for you...am I right?
pyronoia
If you click and drag the image at the right moment you can see some transitions. Don't know how to slo-mo these.

Jokes on you, with my crappy internet they were already in slowmotion!

WOW every frame of the eevee one is an eeveelution!
Watchoutitsaflyingcatcactus
Almost every. There are a few transitions
TheJzoli
Well actually every other frame since there are like the frames where it transforms to the other.
CarrotSharpener
I never understood why Gengar is the final form. It's like they went out of their way to remove any scariness the first two forms had.
UptownFunkgotmeLockedOutOfHeavenwitha24kMagicGrenade
IIRC the final design was inspired by the Cheshire Cat.
bitterandcynical
Real talk: Haunter is cooler looking than Gengar.
Racealistic
You shut your whore mouth!
Galactasaur
Gengar is my favorite
Porecomesis
And then Mega Gengar comes into the picture with Shadow Tag and you're not running for dear life.
LandoCalrissiano
Cause they made it darker and subtle by making it clefable's ghost.
TheWayADrillWorks
*shadow Read the pokedex
Darkcl4w
that is far more believable than Ghastly being the nucleus of Cloister. What's going on there? Did it not pay its rent?
JumpingBalogna
Whoa...I never thought of Ghastly like that. Holy mother of pokemons!
Ravenuser
It should have been an evolution of Clefable. Using the unique object "cyanide".
Snowraptor
The way to get Shedinja is sort of like that, you need to have a poke ball and an empty party slot when Nincada evolves into Ninjask.
CarrotSharpener
They're not *that* alike.
LandoCalrissiano
It's like one of the best fan theories.
CarrotSharpener
It doesn't even make any sense. What are the first two forms supposed to represent, then?
HellMel
Off the top of my head, good and evil fey, the light and dark sides of the moon or Moon fairies and Ghost Dad. Pick one.
Hannya
Also, Clefairy was supposedly initially going to be the main mascot Pokemon, so it would make sense to have a villain mascot.
Hannya
It's a solid theory. Both have identical body shapes, and both share opposite typing.
CarrotSharpener
I realize when you say "identical" you mean "kinda similar", but I prefer to use words according to their actual meaning.
Hannya
"kind of similar" is an understatement.
bitterandcynical
That does sound like the sort of thing that adult pokefans would make up to make it seem deeper than it is.
vauhtihirmu
Or something the pokemon artists thought of to keep themselves entertained. Take your pick.
bitterandcynical
Well maybe. Not mutually exclusive.
BishopofHippo93
Like the whole "Doritos are failed new clones" theory.
IHearVoicesWhenITalk
I'm not sure if that was a typo, but I don't think I care. I smirked either way.

and if you spin it in circles enough it eventually turns upside down

I never understood the Dratini chain-- snake big snake FATASS DRAGON
Barjack
I think it was garadose and dragonite that were switched
graywacke
When I think of a Japanese Dragon I think of mostly water dragons which are snake like. Then it evolved into Godzilla...?
IHatePuns
You watch your mouth
cm45
Yes sir captain
nonameer
Maybe evolution of fish into amphibians/reptiles?

Totally agree!
jhuck
It's just big boned, OK
RedHotBilliePipers
still makes me angry! I love little wingy dratini
Aiolus
I always thought it was like how amphibians grow. Like, tadpole; into big tadpole; into something completely different, with legs.
LetsEatGrandpaCommasSaveLives
I've always hated Dragonite. He looks like a dragon drawn by a blind toddler.
NiteFury
it looks to me like they had a little kids show artist try to draw charizard and turn him "cute"
yanari
So I'm not the only one who thinks they fucked up Dragonair in the worst possible way? No way.
Flameslash
Dragonair is the last pokemon in that evolution chain. That...abomination...isn't allowed to be related to my beautiful Dragonair.
FicklePickleWithANickle
Take that back! *cries in anguish as I hold my dragonnite keychain to my chest* (S)he doesn't mean it
Rainbowhouse
Anyone notice that Dragonair was a shiny?
RIPSlurmsMckenzie
You made me try to pause that damn gif, is the shiny form green?
Rainbowhouse
As it goes from Dragonair to dragonite it's green (a shiny Dragonair is pink and dragonite is green)
RIPSlurmsMckenzie
OoOoOoOoO...Never gotten a shiny myself..except that Gyrados!!!.... :/
Rainbowhouse
I got a shiny zubat 13 hours into the game.
The5lacker
Or it was just a BLUE pokemon transitioning into an ORANGE pokemon which *gasp* would mean it'd end up being GREEN for a single frame!
Rainbowhouse
Way to ruin my fun

Pegussu
A fan theory is that Magikarp originally evolved into Dragonite while Dragonair evolved into Gyrados.
CyborgLazuli
I dunno, Magikarp and Gyarados have similar lips and "crown" fins.
wantfastcars
While believable at surface level, Magikarp's evolution into a badass dragon is a reference to an old Japanese folktale.
Ravenuser
Well, Dragonite is a bada...look how cute he is, in no way "badass"...you're right...
vauhtihirmu
If they did make a switch, this might be the reason.
Elonth
IIRC they swapped dragonnite with a diffrent pokemon at the last second. like they did with butterfree/venomoth. i can't remember who though
Duskblade95
Iirc, it was suppose to be gyarydos.
stackoverflo
What does iirc stand for? It's killing me, I have been trying to use context clues for ages and can't fucking figure it out.
Elonth
IIRC it stands for if i recall.
demonjester1515
If I Recall Correctly
Amythyst
or "Remember", but yeah
wantfastcars
The rumor goes that Gyarados and Dragonite were switched, but that's BS since Magikarp > Gyarados is a reference to a Japanese folktale
IamMelonLordeYaYaYa
Dragonite actually fits the folklore better, there's no evidence one way or the other.
vauhtihirmu
Dragonite still looks like a dragon, so it might work that way too?
DoctorZakhar
C-Chinese folktale. The Carp and the Dragon Gate is Chinese.
ANGRYBATMAN
I can see why people would believe the rumor, it seems to make a lot of sense if you don't know the backround
DrJackBright
I don't really see it. Dratini and Dragonair are done to look smooth while Gyarados looks very scaley
TheWayADrillWorks
Also if you look at Gyarados it has several features on it that resemble parts of Magikarp.
Lickstein
Couldn't that still be true but they just switched the animations and not the names?
kytem
There weren't any animations in first gen.
Lickstein
I just mean the cartoon image/sprite.
FillerNameToFillTheBox
Nope. They did NOT swap Butterfree and Venomoth. That's just a wive's tale.
Triavalon
Holy crap. It just occurred to me that the kids who played 1st gen are now wives and that rumor is now literally a wive's tale...
SpacemanSpiff1000
Omg...
simfasa
Whoa
Jacana
I'm not a wife, I'm far too male.:(
Hannya
It's a theory. There's no evidence to debunk it. It's entirely possible they changed the evolution chains early in development.
ricnine
When you consider how awful gen 1 is in terms of glitches, I think "accidentally swapped the sprites of 2 butterflies" is plenty plausible.
FillerNameToFillTheBox
...You misused the word "theory" so hard it hurts. It's a rumor. There may be no evidence against it...but there is none for it either.
Hannya
It's a theory, not a rumor.
freshmanatee
I think the visual similarities between Venonat/Butterfree and Metapod/Venomoth account for at least some evidence. If you discount that 1/2
thescarydude
It's completely plausible, Venomoth is a swallowtail butterfly and Caterpie is a spicebush swallowtail larva and Metapod 1/2
thescarydude
Is a black swallowtail chrysalis.2/2
