    For edification purposes:
    The plural of "octopus" is technically one of the following: Octopuses, Octopi, or Octopodes.
    Octopuses makes sense, because that's how we pluralize words that end in -s in English. Then there are a number of other people think Octopi is the proper pluralization because of other words with Latin bases turning -us into a -i. However, Octopus isn't actually a Latin word, but a Latinized version of the Greek word, oktopous. And, in Greek, -us becomes -odes.
    Thus, there are three officially recognized ways of pluralizing octopus. My personal preference is "Octopodes," because it sounds cool and then I can bring out this random fact.

      Something similar happens with the Platypus - they may be referred to as Platypuses, Platypi, or Platypodes. Though some people also refer to them as Watermoles, Duckbills, Duckmoles or Beaverducks. Phineas and Ferb didn't shed much light into the discussion even though one of the main characters in the show was a Platypus: basically, it was either "Platypus don't do much" or "They are the only mammals to lay eggs" (said no Echidna ever)...

    Crabrawler not being a Water-Type always made sense to me, I mean, it’s a coconut crab. Those are terrestrial.
    But I could never figure out Grapploct. I guess it’s just a case of “it doesn’t have to be Water-Type to live in the sea?”
    If it is, then I like that, allows for more Type diversity! Also explains why Pincurchin isn’t a Water-Type.

      Both Pincurchin and Grapploct would have been more diverse as dual water types, though. There are dozens of mono-electric and mono-fighting types, but only a small handful of Water/Electric and Water/Fighting types. And the latter type combo isn't even in Sword and Shield at all.

    • @turntsnaco824

      It'd be like if they gave every Pokemon on land without a second type Ground, Grass, or Normal. Not every Pokemon found in grass is Grass-type. Not every Pokemon found in caves are Rock-types. SO many Pokemon are found in water that it creates a serious imbalance of typings if you just call every Pokemon design found in water a Water-type, not to mention it puts certain limits on design space, and what Pokemon of non-Water typings are "allowed" to look like.
      Take Malamar for instance. If it HAD to be Water-type because it's a squid, then you've got two options - either ditch the Dark/Psychic typing....or make it not a squid. But why? That's a very arbitrary restriction to have on imaginary creature design. Instead I like to think of it as more that the water aspect is implied, but Pokemon don't have three types in the games, so we only get two. But that does leave the issue of mono-types...
      I agree that mono-Fighting is a relatively boring and even strange choice, in terms of _typing._ BUT, I'd argue that so many mono-Fighting Pokemon are just punchy land bois, that it doesn't hurt to give a little creature diversity. In fact, I usually don't care for a Fighting type because muscley bipedal creatures that win mostly by physical force don't really do it for me. But I might actually consider having an Octopus on my team. Pinurchin falls into a similar category. When a lot of designs for Electric-types have already been done....it's just something different to add to the roster. It's not like they're going to just stop making mono-Electric Pokemon, so they might as well expand their creative options when they do.

      And btw, at this time basically nobody liked Britain and the way it operated internationally. When the French government made an alliance with it it sparked an outrage within the population. Britain had qui tense relations with America and Russia for the better part of the XIXth century (why do you think Russia sold Alaska to the US ? They knew that they couldn't protect it themselves and would rather see it under American leadership than see it fall to the British). So the fact that it was anti British doesn't equate to it being nazi propaganda, much of Europe at the time wasn't very fond of the British (and this list extends to many parts of the world as well) so it isn't an anomaly, if anything the weird thing would be to find a non British source that isn't critical of the UK

      @@B-Side.72 9 water moves is a pretty considerable amount to know considering you have things like Dragon/Fighting Komm-o who only learn 3-5 fighting attacks and maybe slightly more dragon attacks. Like I'm fine with it being mono-fighting now, but it would have been nice to have a water fighting type for diversities sake. And even the goomy line I would have loved to see as Dragon/Water and still would prefer that typing to this day. Granted that last part is subjective, but I just like dual typings more than mono types most of the time.

    Dude, I think you might be right on there with Grapploct's inspirations, especially with that last bit with the British Empire. It fits too much not to be an inspiration, it's probably not even a stretch, given how deep the Pokemon team dives into history and local lore of what inspired the designs of the creatures. It just makes all the sense in the world, natural sense at that.
