Dootakun

[Xylitol]

I like Dootakun now that I saw the Sugimori art, it looked hideous to me before. AND it does have the slight resemblance to Claydol, but is nowhere near as ugly.

 

[Abyraria]

hmmm probably not a good time to say i find both Dootakun and Jidacoil very cute.
Besides the regis are'nt all that animate at first

I like Dookatun. I am big into Japanese mythology, and bells (and Dookatun's predecessor, the mirror) are steeped in myth. I just wish it was a little more silver than blue.

Dootakun looks like the Liberty Bell

Whats the legend on Dootakun?Does it have anything to do with its dex entry?

I think that Dootakun is inspired in Aztec art, not Japanese.

 

[Bonsly is pimp]

Yeah I think they are.

My friend loves this pokemon, but what does it look like? Could I get an anime pic?

That's the Sugimori art. It hasn't debuted in the anime yet, and probably won't for quite some time.

 

[Korobooshi Kojiro]

Although, they usually release books with Anime-ish art though early on. I saw a anime art of Sceptile years prior Tyson's.

 

[~Cosmic~]

Uhhh, yeah. those are it's eyes. I really like dootakun.

 

[Jerre]

I like Dootakun. also it's pre-evo, Doomiraa. It's Eyes will be the red circles.

Dootakun looks like the Liberty Bell

*searching on google for images of the Liberty Bell comparing to Dootakun*

Dootakun's body is less shaped than that from the liberty bell. It's species says: "Bronze Bell Pokémon" It must be based on an ancient bronze bell. also Doomiraa that resembles a medal or a mirror with a face.

I'm confused as to how Dootakun's "arms" move.

His arms are the Yoke of a bell. It's a Psychic/Steel type. With his Psychis abilities he will move his "arms" by bending them. And he will maybe levitate too. He cannot hang forever in a tower.

Has anyone know that Doomiraa and Dootakun has a symbol on their back. that looks like a tree or a branch?

 

[Korobooshi Kojiro]

Yeah, it's a weird tree thing. I assume it probably has some meaning....

That's how the animation appears.

 

[Commander Blitzkrieg]

Although I'm extremely confused about his appearence, I'm STILL gettin' him
!!!! Floating tiki!!!

 

[Sight]

I'm sure that those red circles are his eyes,but those white things between are his teeth?

Doomira is inspired, clearly, by Japanese mirrors (I saw one, believed to have belonged to Amaterasu, the Sun Goddess). There is a story about a town collecting mirrors from the local women to create a bell. One woman reluctantly gave hers, but, it was passed down through her family. The bell became cursed, because the woman did not give the mirror over with good intentions. That explains a mirror turning into a bell. And, if you have seen any bells of the period, they do look like this. It resembels a dogu, somewhat, and that is what Claydol was based on. There might be aztec influence, but, it's barely there. The Japanese began metallurgy around AD 300 long before the Aztec existed. DotakuJapanese bells that Dookatun are based off. (link goes to a GIS)

 

[JuicyPaperclip]

yeah i like inatimate pokemon like dootakun and starmie... i dunno why, but im sick of the massive dragon creature ones... also go fuwaraido! it looks pretty inatimate and non creaturish

 

[Seth_X_of_Fortree]

I was just looking at it, and it seems to be based off of Aztec or Mayan art.

 

[Maestro Kinético]

I love staryu and starmie but I hate dootakun, even if I am Mexican and I have aztec and mayan ancestors.
