::Just because a lot of these Pokemon are amalgamations of various sources, doesn't mean you can just add whatever. It also still needs to make sense, Scizor is not a crustacean and doesn't look like one. If you say crab, people would be expecting a crab like creature, not something that just happens to have pincers, which isn't somethimg exclusive to crabs. Scorpion can be a bit believable as its an arachnid (not an insect, but close enough). Again, it needs more than just one thing in common with the animal, you're not going to say Salamence is a parrot because "wings".--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#44BAE5">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#85D2EE">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#DA7D99">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#E7ABBD">ire</span>]] 09:56, 15 December 2022 (UTC) | ::Just because a lot of these Pokemon are amalgamations of various sources, doesn't mean you can just add whatever.

erm... definitely not, wings come in all kinds of shapes and structures (bird, insect, bat, pterosaur) but pincers, whether they belong to a crustacean or scorpions, are very similar in looks, shape and structure | |||
so, it's not the same thing at all | |||
crustaceans, insects and arachnids, are all arthropods though | |||
also, species, genuses etc are irrelevant in the Pokemon franchise, they all just lay eggs (the only classification that suggests species are the egg groups) | |||
that is why, for example, gligar can have traits of both a bats and scorpions, two totally different animals that have nothing to do with each other | |||
or magmar which is (sorry for repeating it) stated to be a mix of booby, ducks and salamanders, two birds and an amphibian | |||
