I'm upset about the status of Bugs

Well, bugs are small in real life so they are weaker in the game. It'd be stupid to leave bug pokemon out. They should make better ones I think

Obviously if I counted, this idiot in my signature would be a real pokemon.

I'd maybe use bugs if they were more available earlier in the game. And I'm not talking about all the freaking caterpillars. The caterpillars don't do much for me. But if they had, maybe a two-stage evo through leveling up that was available earlier on, say before second gym, I might consider using one. But by the time any of the halfway decent ones (Scyther-Scizor, Pinsir, Heracross)are available, I'm done getting pokes for my party and it's more just for the data.

its true bugs have been the laugh type for way too long. they have alot of weaknesses and have barley any bug moves the only good bug moves that are even tolerable is mega horn,silver wind,and signal beam. overall there is not many good bug moves period. they def need cool bugs in the next gen. have them be strong and show that they are not worthless. bug type is my fav. and like said earlyer there are not many good bugs at all

Bugs Definetly need some stronger additions to their type. Too bad GF always makes most of them horrible

Sadly, I have to agree. It's a shame, too. Bugs are strong over Psychic-types, Dark-type and Grass-types. Having a good Bug Pokémon would take care of many strong Pokémon of those types.

We dont need bug legendarys but we need more pokemon that learn bug attacks. They are mostly bug pokemon exlusive. If we have them psychic pokemon are more easaly defeated and so are most legendarys. Mewtwo, Mew, Celebi, Jirachi and Deoxys are all psychic. However a few pokemon like heracross couldnt harm

I agree. Stronger bugs are needed. I love bug-types, but, I am stuck with Hearcross or Scizor mostly. Though I do use a Yanma with Signal Beam (and Screech to help out a bit). The scarab idea sounds cool. I would like to see Yanma evolve into something stronger. Bug/Dragon would kick!

When the hell was Pokemon exactly like real life? By your logic Pinsir should be squished easily because he's based on small, but awesome beatle. This is a game, so why can't bugs be made more powerful?

The scarab idea is brilliant. A powerful bug that can learn both Earthquake and Signal Beam and gets STAB on both of them...yes.

bugs are awsome id love to see a trio but i doubt it will happen. following thge north, south, east, west thing, they have had the lions(dogs), birds, and tortosis(rocks) so next would be dragons.

Scizor, Scyther, and Heracross p00n (Pinsir pretty much is poop, horrible movepool, and some "OK" stats.)

Ariados is a relaly good, and Fortress is a good rapid spinner

otherwise yeah most bugs are as weak as they look... a fire/bug Ant pokemon would look cool.

Most the good bug pokemon have a second type. BUG/STEEL, BUG/FIGHTING. So they just get the good moves from the second type. There really isn't a good PURE BUG Pokemon.
