We need more pokemon based on north american cryptids.

I'm not saying there's too many yokai. But we have a lot of yokai, let's branch out. The few NA ones we do have are good shit.

Give me a jackalope, you know that shit would sell plushes.
Give me Flatwoods, give me Sasquatch, give me the Jersey Devil, give me Chupacabra, give me Snallygaster, give me Pukwidgies, give me Mishipeshu/Wampus cat.
Give me the damn Fresno Nightcrawlers.

Or heck, how about some South American ones, they have what, Aipom? That's it? Half of Rayquaza?
Ya-Te-Veo would be a cool Grass-Dark.
Sihuanaba? If you want to go crosscultural you could incorporate some aspects of the Mari Lwyd and Kuchisake-Onna too. Wouldn't be the first ghost pokemon that pretends to be people or something more pleasant than its disguise.
La Llorona too.
A white and black form Cadejo maybe? That might be too close to Lycanroc. But it wouldn't have to be.
Cipitío?

you don't have to use megas, they don't change anything about the base form, but it's clear you're just hungry for (you)'s and will derail the thread to satiate your hunger.

It was one of the easiest lay-ups, and they managed to pick the only way to fuck it up. Mega Sableye is arguably one of the worst mega designs out there, simply because of how badly the dropped the ball from the base form you're genuinely retarded if you think it's a good design

NTAYRT, but i would accept mega-sableye, IF it changed to ghost/rock.

Objectively it's already weird it's not rock/ghost. Plus we keep getting denied rock/ghosts, even from things that have every right to be like cursola and runerigus. arguably even spiritomb could have been, though its ghost/dark status does at least make more sense than sableyes, in the same way that Flabebe and Comfey and Farfetch'd aren't grass, Dhelmise isn't steel, and Conkeldur is not Rock. Carrying or being anchored to an object does not make it a part of you. Sableye, meanwhile, has rocks for eyes, among other more centralized organs.

And the whole gimmick of mega-sable is one of the rocks in it, its central heart-area rock, get bigger and it can use them as an impenetrable shield, while at the same time losing a lot of speed because it's no longer a flightly little goblin man that sneaks up on people, it's lugging around a giant rock that was once part of its body but got so big so much extra rockiness-per-rock solidity it ripped loose and fell out of its otherwise ghostly body leaving a gaping hole in the chest.
It is literally just "sableye, but what if more rock"

Make it Rock/Ghost and I'll accept it.
Otherwise it's both missing the primary theme of the mon (a sneaky little cave thing that stalks you from the shadows while you're mining and plays tricks on you, i.e. kobalos/kobolds/goblins/Bergmännlein/tommyknockers/even gnomes before they were conflated with Nisse Puk with the pointy red hats) since it can't do that type of thing anymore the gem is too large and heavy AND it also doesn't lean into the new form's changes the way like MegaPinsir, MegaLopunny, MegaGyarados, MegaCharizard, or MegaAltaria do which say "hey this mon has changed to be about something slightly different, we're accentuating something that was there but very secondary and making that the star."

Stall's japanese name is basically just stalker. it means to follow behind.
And it's also the word for cheating at rock-paper-scissors by throwing your choice out late, which is apparently such an issue in japan they have a name for it lmao.
So it's a triple pun. Sableye stalks things in caves. It's a cheating little bastard. And also it makes the pokemon go last.

the stalking meaning is probably why it does ambush stuff in PMD like >>57976375 points out.

A better english name might have been Trail After or Linger or Creep. I especially like Creep actually, because while Linger feels both slow and sinister, Creep does it too and is also a pun calling him a little bastard, so it basically translates the full triple pun.

This anon here >>57976594 probably explains why it’s Dark-type. I’d argue it’s probably more thematically fitting to be Dark/Rock-type rather than partially Ghost. Like it seems to be a Ghost because of being scary rather than anything else.
