Gible is called the "Landshark" | Gible is called the "Landshark" Pokemon, a Landshark is another name for apex predator. A shark is an example of an apex predator, it has no natural enemies. So could this be where the origin of Gible came from? I find it very hard to believe that the creators of Pokemon would even think of the SNL sketch for an idea for a Pokemon. Very little Pokemon are based on pop-culture; and do they even have SNL in Japan? | ||

Please take out the reference to 'Life After Man'; it's '''very''' misleading (I won't interfere with the articles myself - I'm not brave enough yet!). I have that book and the Desert Shark depicted is a future evolution based on the mole rat of today. Gible isn't like that at all!<br> | |||
Land Sharks aren't real, but '''are''' a known fantasy concept (like Sand Worms, etc) and have popped up in various incarnations on TV before now for impact or comic effect (a fast-moving fin sticking up out of the ground, scaring unsuspecting protagonists). | |||
(AndyPKMN: Saturday Night Live started that one? Who knew? ^-^)<br> | |||
As to name origins, I always thought 'Gar' and 'Ga' were onomatopoeic, like 'rawr', but the Japanese bite/gulp connection sounds very interesting. [[User:Jaylaw|Jaylaw]] 23:48, 20 January 2011 (UTC) | |||
