How does Remoraid evolve into Octillery?

Nov. 9, 2012



The two of them don’t look alike at all. They are both water type, I know that. But how does a fish turn into an octopus?! It’s not logical.

There, in fact, is a clear explanation for this. It has to do with their beta sprites, as seen here (next to their final sprites):

Remoraid’s beta sprite looked like a gun and Octillery’s looked like a soldier (this is backed up even more by having “raid” and “artillery” in their name etymology).

They were essentially based off of the ideas of guns/projectile weapons and sea creatures.

This didn’t make sense anymore after the dev’s decided to edit the design, mayhap because they didn’t want to offend anyone (Guns in children’s games, etc.).

Hope I helped!

There is only one explanation to this:Only GameFreak knows.They wanted to build it like this, certainly. There is no other explanation, I guess.
