Nokotchi is based off a Japanese myth (with some claimed sightings, much like Big Foot or non-extinct Tasmanian wolves), just so you're aware. And why question its existance? Really, any Pokemon could have their existance question, because the creators could base a Pokemon off of any animal, any plant, any myth, any law of physics (Plusle and Minun), etc. But in the end, what's there for a generation is there, and those Pokemon find a permanent place in the franchise's roster. Besides, as others have said, Nokotchi can be pretty good in battle, especially with its Serene Grace ability. It's pretty cute, too... and Charizard_Fire_God, don't you dare suggest this thread move on to bashing Unknown (I like that Pokemon a lot). The best thing is to not have any bashing threads at all and to let this one die since its point's been disproven.
Oh, and I predict to see Gravy going insane in 5, 4, 3, 2....
