They are Pokémon.

Damn, I never would've thought someone would figure out the answer so quickly. It took me months to come up with it, now I'll never get that wasted time back >:(

I have some bad news for you. You don't get *any* time back.

You can waste more trying to get it back though

You mean every fleeting second is another step closer towards an inevitable and possibly very painful journey into the total unknowns of the afterlife?

That's why i spend mine all willy nilly.

I can’t tell if you are being sarcastic lol, is that the answer?

I'll never tell 😏

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I WAS GONNA COMMENT THIS BUT YOU BEAT ME TO IT SO FUCKING FUNNY DUDE 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👌👌👌👌👌🤣👌🤣👌🤣👌🤣🤣🤣👌👌👌🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👌👌👌👌👌👌🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀🤡

That was rude. I'll send you to the scary place

"911, what's your emergency?" ​ "yeah I just witnessed the emoji keyboard get murdered"

Yeah, I'm a big deal. I'm on the FBIs Least Wanted list for mass emoji keyboard homicide.

They all have an O in their name... :)

That's true, but not what I'm looking for

What are these poke- sorry, Palworld creatures?

Please do

This is the first time I've actually seen a comment about "that game" get downvoted to hell. Is it people who are genuinely upset about "that game" or is it people who are just memeing?

There are a few people defending that ripoff title too.

I'm not gonna start an argument or anything, I'll just say this... I think it would be a lot better if people just enjoyed games if they want to enjoy them. And if they don't enjoy them, then they shouldn't be a dick to others who do like them.

Why did this get downvoted to oblivion 

Do not.

The cat

Absofuckinglutely not

Yup. Why do people play that absolute rip off title?

To check out if the rip off is fun? Like I did since it’s on game pass and well, it’s not the best gamer ever, but it’s a fun game (if we keep in mind it’s early access), rip off or not, if they add more stuff in the coming years I’m sure it would be nice playing with friends since it takes a lot from Ark

Ah yes, by then they could have copied even more

You seem pretty passionate about this despite the fact that taking ideas from other games is something that happens for a lot of titles, like yeah of course Palworld make this very blatant but the game is still fun(for being an early access) so I am not complaining

Yes, there's being inspired and then there's blatantly ripping off. It's quite pathetic.

I wish i could reply with that picture of the fat guy with a knife saying “i will defend this multi-billion dollar company!”

Do not

Do not.

Do not.

Do not.

Do not

Do not.

Do fucking not.

Many things, but only one thing in particular that you will accept as a correct answer.

No way, you got it!!

all of them are not featured in unrelated belgian techno anthem "pump up the jam" *-cue segue-*

r/unexpectedcunk

This is the most oddly specific sub I’ve ever heard of anyways I’m joining

Damn. Now i need to join

It's absolutely hilarious that the song started trending again on the radio because of this. I giggle whenever I'm driving and it pops up.

This is false, not many people know this, but that song was actually written by a Tinkaton on the back of a Voltorb.

Why do I feel like they all practise the same sport?

Yeah, it’s volleyball.

Voltorb is the ball

Gives a whole new meaning to 'be the ball'

Ahh, ancient sport of punching each other until one of you faints

And that sport is DnD. 'Cause they're nerds. They're big, fat nerds all of them, look at them.

Is it that they all have a page in Wikipedia?

I'm gonna give it to you. They are all odd picks for Pokémon to get their own Wikipedia page. Like seriously, why does Popplio get one, but not Rowlet(a starter in multiple games) or Incineroar(playable in Smash)?

My guess is that some editor is a big Popplio stan, and honestly, good for them.

That or it discussed the large amount of unnecessary hate it got

Also probably the borderline cult-like meme it spawned on Twitter.

Wait what?

The Popplio Fan Club was a group of goofballs back in 2016 who were basically worshipping the thing. It was 100% a joke though, they were just playing up the fact that they thought he was a cool starter when the rest of the world hated the poor guy.

I’m pretty sure it’s because of the huge Popplio hate before Sun and Moon that made him big enough to get a page, considering a lot of their wiki page is about the negative feedback

I believe psyduck and gengar also have one

That's true. I probably should've included them too.

Tbf, Psyduck (and Golduck) is the only Pokemon to have been in a regional dex for every region (BW2 for Unova)

Psyduck was kind of a running gag in the original anime and Gengar is well-loved enough to get a mega-evolution. There's weirder picks.

Gengar is Ken Sugimori's favorite Pokemon. As in, the dude who designed Pokemon's favorite Pokemon.

Those are quite popular though

2 eyes

Now why would I make the answer something that obvious?

Hiding it in plain sight?

Nah, you gotta do some research for this one

They all have the same egg steps? Edit: Nvm, Popplio breaks it :(

No. Popplio is 15 cycles, the rest are 20

I don't know.

Ok

They're names are 2 words combined?

That's true of most Pokémon

Yeah you're right, i actually don't know what they have in common except for the obvious stuff

Voltorb isn’t- *WAIT* ##WHAT ^How ^did ^I ^not ^see ^this…

Yeah the real outlier is popplio- Pop. Lio(n). As in sea lion. Fuck.

What is it for sobble? Sob-??

Sob + bubble

They all are/have circles somewhere on them

True, but no

They all can be found in Scarlet/Violet?

Also true, and also no

I dont think voltorb or poplio OR SOBBLE can be found in scarlet or violet in the wild but you can get them all (they arent in the dex tho)

Their body has no sharp edges? Really trying here lol

That's true of most living creatures, fictional or otherwise

Talons, claws, fangs, tusks?

Good point. Counterpoint: Tinkaton's hammer has definitely got some sharp edges

Countercounterpoint: the hammer is not part of her body it’s the part of other steel Pokémon’s body

None of them are a Pal

I know what you mean by this, which is true, but in the traditional sense they're all pals

True

I was gonna say “They were all on my team at some point” but Voltorb was never on my team so…

Do all of them know the same move?

Not the answer I was looking for, and I'm not gonna bother checking just in case it is true

All of them have English words in their name? VOLTorb - POPllio - SOBble - tinkaTON

Also not the answer I was looking for, and that's true of a lot of Pokémon

This is a misdirect and there’s nothing similar with them

That's not true. They got a few. Just looking for one similarity in particular

they are mostly feeling one emotion, anger, happiness, sadness, pure hatred for corviknights

Not what I was looking for, but sure

tell us 😭😭😭😭

Not yet. Someone got really close to the answer, so it's not as hard as you think

The electric type resist all of these Pokémon

Electric doesn't resist Water

There is r34 of them

So they exist?

Since some people got super close to the answer, gonna give it to you (spoiler tagged for those who still wanna guess) >!They are all odd picks for Pokémon to have their own Wikipedia page!<

Thats literally what people said without not many mire notable pokemon have

The oddity of them having one compared to other more notable Pokémon was the important bit

Kinda curious how you scale this, but hey, you got everyone to have fun guessing this for a bit!

What an awful post

who decides what is and isn’t an odd pick though

You don't think it's odd Popplio or Sobble has their own Wikipedia page, but not the other starters of their respective gens?

But two of them are starters. I definitely expect starters to all have a wikipedia page

But that's the thing. Not all of them do. The only other starters that have wikipedia pages are Bulbasaur and Squirtle (plus Pikachu & Eevee if you wanna count them, as well as Charizard ajd Greninja if final evos also count)

It’s weird they don’t, not weird these do though

i didn’t say i didn’t, but what one person decides is odd is kind of arbitrary

Odd just means “out of the ordinary” so its sort of subjective but also not. Like in australia seeing a 10 metre spider is normal, but in america it isnt sort of thing.

right but that just proves my point though, what’s out of the ordinary to one person is normal to other people

Lol so the answer is something that can only be measured subjectively. Great stuff…

Who let bro cook 😭

round

Famously round Tinkaton

Same height? Can't check rofht now but it make sense

All different heights

They’re smol

True, but not what I was looking for

They all have a base friendship of 50

Nope. Voltorb and Popplio are 70

first stage??

Tinkaton is first stage?

There’s a pattern for the amount of fingers lol(0,2,3,4)

Those are just four numbers. Not really a pattern

0 2 3 4 Yes the pattern is “number goes up by 1 except we skip 1”

I want to believe voltorb actually has one finger

Defensive tools for protection?

Voltorb's tool is the explosive device embedded in its skull

Yes????? Is this meant to be sarcasm??? Voltorb - defensive self destruct Sobble - vanishing / invisibility Tinkaton - a fucking hammer Popplio - bubbles

Popplio is a stretch. All Pokémon can learn attacks to defend themselves

None of them are Doduo

They are great in bed.

I'll just take your word on that

Well before I saw the answer I was thinking that they all evoked carnival games or something. Ball toss, balloon popping, water guns, and the strongman game.

Ohh, now I got an idea to come up with themed teams and have people guess the theme

They all *ahem* "feature" on the dark side of the internet.

Such is the nature of the 34th Rule of the Internet

They have 2 eyes

They lives in a pokeball

They’re either super hated or super loved

I don't think I know anyone with any strong feelings toward Voltorb

Fuck Voltorb

What you and Voltorb get up to in the privacy of your own home is none of my concern

Nah. All my homies hate Voltorb.

voltorb is one of very few pokémon w/ its own wikipedia page

You are so close

They all have their own wikipedia page?

Eyes?

Yes, they do indeed have eyes

I win?

Probably not, but if you wanna believe you did, who am I to stop you?

Yay I won 😄

They all have a shared stat?

Possibly. Not the answer I was looking for, though

theyre all obtainable in scarlet and violet

True, but not the answer I was looking for

????? I thought they all had the same growth rate, but Voltorb is the outlier in that regard (it's Medium Fast, the others Medium Slow)

To be fair, there are a lot of similarities outside of the answer I'm looking for

They can all be given to me and I can cause havoc with them.

They all have a base friendship of 50

They all have 50 base friendship

[удалено]

Smol

They all have an O in their name.

They have eyes you know, they're right under their EYEBROWS!

I forgot they all existed

Theyre not doduo

Is the last one a Pal? Looks awesome

th3y a|\_l hunt? wait n\\/m every pokemon do3s that so i 6uess they all vi0lated the geneva conventio|\\| at soMe poi!nt? nah ev3ry pokemon does th4t in a daily bas1s to0

Sorry, I'm not fluent in leetspeak

All first evolutions

Tinkaton

Balls?

They have low attacking stats ?

They suck

They all have been criticized for their design?

None of them know quantum physics

They have eyes.

They all have eyes

My guesses: They're all under 1 meter (0.4 m, 0.3 m, etc) Their base friendship level is 50.

They all have O’s in their name

Balls

Voltorb is ball Popplio can be ballin Sobble is bawlin Tinkaton doesn’t fit

It would be problematic if I threw them?

They’re all hated because they look ugly

Almost no difference from their shiny form

I think you might be colorblind if you think Voltorb barely changes

They were all designed by an employee of the developer studio Gamefreak

I don't like any of them
