Got Gush in Yokai Watch 2 a little while back, and apparently Gush making things drip might have been a bit of censorship on the anime's part so they wouldn't have a segment revolving around Nate bleeding everywhere. Everything in the game states he causes nosebleeds. There's also one in Hungry Pass (a part of yokai world made entirely out of cake) with some amusingly gross NPC dialogue about the residents mistaking the blood from his nosebleeds for strawberry jelly.

It's pretty difficult to do, but it can actually happen. It might help I that I had shady unity (which apparently boosts negative inspirits somehow), but I've also seen it happen without it. I think some bosses are flat-out immune to it though.

Oburger could maybe still work as is, since it sorta still sounds like "Oh bah god!" It's a bit of a stretch, but.....

Apparently Mosomonmon's theme/ability is to control dreams and delusions. This manifests in his fight as calling up thought bubbles containing images of things like dragons and bullet trains and then pulling them out as attacks! He also has a rad soultimate where he conjures up an image of a beautiful flower field....only for his fangs to slowly creep into view before he chows down on your team. https://www.youtube.com/wat...

I spent some time to track down and use Scritchy a while back on my main file of the first game and if you use her with two other Shady yokai her inspirit effect (itchiness, naturally) does hilariously exorbitant amounts of damage if it succeeds on a boss. Seeing Massiface's postgame palette swap shout "I itch!" before hemmorraging nearly 600 hp is always amazing.

I love how when you meet this gen's bug gym leader in BW2 for your gym battle he proceeds to gush about how cute his Dwebble's eyes are and how sweet his Leavanny is. A man after our own hearts, truly.

The typing isn't all bad news, imo, since it also grants you a quad resistance to earthquake and resistances to a couple other strong types like fighting and water. It's also a bit unusual as far as grass types go too, since its dry skin ability essentially makes it one of the only grass type pokemon that can't stand strong sunlight. Not super strong, no, but still has a couple interesting strategic niches.

damn, you're positively ripping through these...and we're nearing the section of the pokedex where all the weirdest shit in gen 1 hangs out! exciting times!

So....may not be the best place to bring this up, but have you heard about the Silent Hill pachinko/slot machine, which is the first we've heard of the franchise after the cancellation?

It seems to be fairly mixed on which marsupial Skullroo is, since later-translated games go for aardvark-based puns for it and its palette swaps, such as HAARDVARK or GUAARDVARK.

That's honestly another awful thing about the remake not getting released over here; we're missing out on pun names that put even Pokemon to shame with their sheer corniness. The wordplay and punniness of the scripts produced by the guys who translated everything from Dragon Quest 8 onwards is absolutely incredible. Even seemingly bland monsters in the old version like the gargoyle-ish EvilBeast or the self-explanatory EvilArmor would be made amazing with hilariously groan-worthy names like GRRRGOYLE or BAD KARMOUR.

Oh snap, Harmburger's going back to being extra moldering and gross again in the last panel
WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN? DID HE MERELY SUPPRESS HIS MOLD SO YOU'D LET YOUR GUARD DOWN?

Oh my god "MEAT! Run for your life! Yaaaaaahooooo!" has GOT to be some of the best awkward pre-boss dialogue put in a video game since Monster Party.

I got Uprising for my birthday a few days ago, and I felt you might like
to know that sometimes a Specknose, two Monoeyes and a Mick will band
together and move as one to form a big goofy face that falls apart into
its component monsters when shot at.

I always thought Mr. Mime was pretty weird as a kid, but its appearance in the anime helped keep it from being really scary since it was always so helpful to Ash's mom and sounded so cheery. Nothing diffuses a creepy subhumanoid's scariness like having it wear an apron and sweep, apparently.

Fun fact about Wobb's brokenness; he developed such a reputation as an uncounterable terror that by gen 4, his sole moveset on Smogon was named "Oh, no! It's Wobbuffet!"

My favorite part is how not only is it a miniature tornado with an eye named a "Larva", its later, stronger palette-swap is named a Lemur, of all things. The monster design on its own wouldn't be especially weird, but the completely inexplicable names they gave it push it into baffling territory.

I just remembered one little detail about Slowbro in the Stadium games that I thought might delight you: Slowbro doesn't even realize when he's been KO'd or react to it in any way until Shellder alerts him to it. When his HP hits zero, he just slowly turns to look at his Shellder as if to ask "Hey, were we just defeated?", the Shellder makes a nodding motion, and only THEN does he collapse.

Hate to break it to ya bro, but there are a fair share of awful vegans on this site who frequently deliver ultimatums such as "If you claim to love animals but also eat meat, you're either a psychopath or a hypocrite". Just check out Vegasmo for a shining example. I'm not saying all vegans are awful, but the ones I've seen on this site are far from innocent and definitely give the cause a bad name.

I hardly ever read these books as a kid because I was always too frightened by whatever horrifying illustration the cover had to plumb their hellish depths, but the cover art was always enchantingly scary. Even today, I don't think I've ever seen anyone else draw slime and goop with such an amazingly detailed, revolting texture.

Sorry Scythe, but since you're a white cis male and suggesting something with a vague air of misogyny, I'm pretty sure that in social justice land your opinions are automatically invalid and you deserve to be shot for having them!

Though honestly I'm not entirely sure if I agree with your assessment myself, because while I've never read them from all I've seen the misogyny and objectification of women is REALLY BAD in American comics.

I looked at this for a few seconds. Then, suddenly, out loud I went WAAAAAAAAIT A MINUTE as it sunk in.

The way those body parts are attached, I am forced to conclude that this creature is in fact The Thing, but in anime.

Man, I love that Homer just punches the hell out of his enemies. Like, you'd think he'd use an improvised weapon like a broken beer bottle or something, but nope. Also, using the family dog as a projectile weapon is pretty awesome.
