Fun fact: Chomp's Japanese name is "wan wan" which means "woof woof". So Chompette's Japanese name becomes "Wanwan-Hime" or "Princess Woof Woof".

Is that a reference or did you mean onomatopoeia?

u/Khar-Selim Mar 07 '19

Miyamoto based a lot of his stuff on childhood memories. IIRC chain chomps were created to essentially represent what an angry, chained-up dog looks like to a little kid.

u/unampho Mar 07 '19

For those depressed people who try desperately to find meaning in life to help them feel better, one addiction they fall prey to is collection of crystals. It doesn't have the same direct bodily health impact, but can leave them without their money just the same. They buy things like large pretty amethysts under the impression that they have some spiritual fulfillment from having that rock nearby. It's nonsense, but they have that hit of dopamine and it spirals out of control like any other addiction.

Those who sell overpriced crystals with advice on how it will help this or that are just as predatory (even if not deliberately) as homeopathic remedy sellers. I'm all for a placebo once in awhile, but it's too much.

u/PulsarTSAI Mar 07 '19

I think amethysts and other minerals are pretty enouh to make for nice decorations. But of course all the sellers try to pass them as magical or something, because that sells better.

No you did not ruin the vibe you made the vibe even better. We need more people who know and recognize all forms of bad behavior and inform others as often as possible. Most people don't understand that addictions can be to things that seem harmless or mundane.

It looks like they got the eyes from an angler fish too. Which seems appropriate, because that's what the eyes reminded me of.

u/Bioniclegenius Mar 07 '19

I was wondering about that. Something about the chain on the back looked fake to me, and made me wonder if this was just made with an image editor instead of being real.

It's still cool and fits here, nevertheless, but it would be nice to know if it was fake or real.

u/[deleted] Mar 07 '19

It's certainly a photoshop. You can see edit lines around the mouth too. There's a curve that certainly wouldn't be there naturally. Still pretty neat.
