Please tell me I'm not an idiot.

Naetle is a snapping turtle (or possibly tortoise) with a leaf on it's head, not a beetle.

Please say this is true, alot of people on Serebii thinks it's a beetle.

Look at the name once more.

Let the evos decide.

 

[Habunake]

Look at the name once more.

Ummm....yeah?

Naetle= Nae (sprout) and tle (Turtle).

 

[Kasumi]

It looks more like a turtle than a beetle. *shrugs*

 

[Habunake]

The only reason people think it's a beetle is because Serebii posted on it's site the "tle" came from beetle, as we only knew the names from that site and the blog made it sound like it was a beetle.

 

[Kasumi]

It's a friggin' turtle. Even people have compared it to the koopas from Mario's games. Besides, I've never seen a beetle with a turtle's shell in my life. Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[Habunake]

Thank you Kasumi.

That's what I don't get, how anyone could think it was a beetle.

I was supposed to write something more in that post, but I got distracted and forgot, because I'm an idiot.

But yeah, my point was basically that the "tle" (or "toru", as Serebii says) can come from turtle just as much as beetle.

As for the Serebii people, they think it's a beetle because Serebii said so, and he is always right.

Naetle? He's clearly a turtle. I'm not sure where there's any indication of a beetle.
Maybe it's the twig on it's head that gives the impression of a horn,
but otherwise I don't see a beetle.

Plus I think it's more logical to make a grass type turtle than a grass type beetle.
Though, we have had a water and fire type turtle already, the only logical types
for anymore turtles would have to be ground or grass.

It could be possible for another dual type starter, bug/grass, if Naetle were beetle,
yet I strongly feel it's a turtle like you Habunake.


Well, at least I have even more reason to choose him now... the terrapin is our school mascot!

 

[Habunake]

Do you go to Maryland University?

I always thought Torkoal was a dead ringer for Testuo (that's the mascot of the team)

 

[Rayne]

Yeah! whoo Go Terps ::cough::ahem::

Well I think you're right, Torkoal does appear more like our mascot [testudo]*

He's firey hot and red and always has determination to win (based off Ash's Torkoal).
Yup I see the resemblance.

 

[Habunake]

My dad's a huge fan of Maryland Terrapins, so natturaly we have alot of Terps stuff. That's why I love Torkoal.

And because it reminds me of myself.

I;m not dissing Serebii, I go their.

It's just their are a ton of n00bs.
