I remember having multiple items as a kid from pokemon books to puzzles and I DISTINCTLY remember the extra line on the white part of it but does anyone else recall ANY images with > An electrode with VERY LARGE McDonald's logo arched eyebrows with dot eyes
or > An electrode with a gold button/coin on its forehead similar to Meowth.
I remember seeing an electrode with large eyebrows that strongly resembled the McDonald's logo and red glowing dot eyes as a kid.
Might be a scene or still from the anime or a bootleg. Or you might have dreamed it and woke up thinking the dream had been real, (that used to happen to my sister as a very small child).
It's funny, at the time I just accepted Gen I at face value but looking back there were some very puzzling decisions. Voltorb is fine as a concept, because it's a mimic designed to trick the player. But why have it evolve into something that's practically identical? Why are Rock and Ground different types? Why is Poison a type at all, when it could just be a status condition?

Do you really not understand the idea of electric polarity? Just like Magnemite plays on the idea of +/- magnetic attraction, Voltorb plays on the idea of electric charge(in a non cringy in your face way like Plusle and Minun). Voltorb is constantly angry/frowning = negative electrical charge. Flip it upside down, Electrode is constantly happy/smilling = positive electrical charge.
It's a battery
why did Voltorb mutate over time to mimic pokeballs? What survival advantage would that bring?
Another question: what does Voltorb's flesh feel like? I always thought it'd feel metallic until Gen II when it didn't get steel typing.
it got retconned but the original idea is that voltorb only first appeared in pokeball factories when pokeballs were first invented by the sylph co. and it's meant to be left unclear whether it was an intended experiment, an experiment gone wrong or just a blameless freak occurrence like xrays from the moon turning pollution into grimer
so it appears /vp/ does not think
🙂
This is the dumbest shit i ever
>Let's make a mimic pokemon that mimics a poke ball but let's make it bigger than a poke ball!
well shit, that's horrifying
Nice

like this?
the eyebrows are partially obscured by the black bar but i think this is what you're talking about
Too anime-looking
half of gen 1 has toriyama eyes
Electrode looks like it's going to threaten Gohan and Krillen to use their wish for immortality.
