:I mean we get it, it has pincers, and pincers are a trait of arthropods, but that feels more like something that fits in the biology section than the origin section. Its pincers aren't clearly based on any specific animal. We don't really need to do much more than state that it has pincers, which the biology section already has covered. Also I'd really consider keeping your comments about other Pokémon's origins on those Pokémon's specific talk pages. Let's try to keep the conversation focused on Scizor here. You keep saying "don't miss the point" but you're bringing up like 20 different points. I'd really suggest making your responses more concise and specific so we can have an actual conversation. It's hard to respond to what reads like a rant.

thanks for your reply | |||
anyway, not sure why it slipped my mind to mention it, i don't know where you guys are from, but in Japan and most of Asia mantis shrimp, being a delicacy, is a very common sight on seafood markets, so in this part of the world, scizor's design very much seems to be a pun on those words (don't forget that when scizor was designed the franchise was mostly aimed at Japanese and possibly also Taiwanese/HK and Korean audience) | |||
it may (or may not) be a cultural reference, that someone, let's say from Norway or Chicago may not think (know) of, and might just shrug off as not logical or not making sense, or being a stretch (which it may or may not be) | |||
it is also not always necessary to look for too much logic and sense in a franchise that has monster in its name, where fish evolve into octopuses and where monsters based on animals from different genuses can breed | |||
