Talk:Croconaw (Pokémon)

Artwork?

That artwork was made by Ken Sugimori. Since he draws all the official artwork, doesn't make it official? hfc2X 03:05, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

I agree Ultamate_Charizard 21:43, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

is the Heartgold/Soulsilver artwork stretched? It looks very warped to me like Croconaw is stretched to much vertically -- D558 15:40, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Refresh. ^tc²₆tc₂₆ 15:47, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Nope certainly not the problem, compared to previous artwork and other depictions it looks far to tall and has too short of snout -- D558 16:02, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

DP147

Can someone add Croconaw's appearance from DP147? The one that evolved from Kazunari's Totodile.- Thanks User:BAC510, 18:42 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Animal Skin Pattern

Has no one figured out why Crocnaw, so randomly, have a cave man pattern on it's belly?

If I remember right, there is a species of crocodilia that is in fact called a "caveman" or something similar sounding. I might have to do some research, but I SWEAR I watched a documentary on Animal Planet where they were in a swamp and they repeatedly called these little crocodiles, "caveman". I couldn't believe my ears and listen closely, and sure enough it sounded like they were saying "caveman". Maybe that's the reason Croconaw has a Animal Skin pattern? Can anyone confirm this? Or am I just crazy?Tro 23:11, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Ok, as it turns out. Its not "caveman" it's "caiman" close enough. It sounds just like then you say it with an Australian accent. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Caiman Still worth mentioning in the Origin section, Or atleast trivia?Tro 03:58, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Generation II Back Sprite

Now I have no clue if we can edit sprites at this time of age with the servers, but I just noticed that the back sprite that is there for Generation II is different then the one in the Crystal Version... Should it be changed? Galm 16:26, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

First, Crystal is Generation II. And sprites looked different in the original Gold and Silver and then were fixed in Crystal. That's how it's supposed to look. Ataro 16:30, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I know that Crystal is in Generation II. I just meant, the back sprite looked different with what it is right now, than in Crystal. But if we just want to keep it that way, that's fine by me. (Less work someone has to do) Galm 14:20, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

All the backsprites currently in use are from the first paired version. If you looked over on the archives, you'd see we're busy preparing for a new spritebox which can display multiple backsprites. So that it doesn't break before then, they have had to be set to all use the first paired version sprites. Werdnae (talk) 23:32, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

The shiny one isnt transparent for some reason, if anyone knows how to fix it. XVuvuzela2010X 23:37, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Another possible etymology

It seems to me that Croconaw's name could originate from the term Shock and awe, though that could just be a coincidence. Would this be worth mentioning in the Name Origin section? --Diriector Doc (talk) 21:29, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

Seems like a stretch. Landfish7 07:29, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
