Maybe better known as remora.

[–]Valac_ 358 ポイント359 ポイント  (17子コメント)

I remember them as remoraid... The pokemon.

[–]sohetellsme 217 ポイント218 ポイント  (15子コメント)

In a just world, remoraid would evolve into mantine instead of a fucking octopus.

[–]icydragon0605 77 ポイント78 ポイント  (11子コメント)

This came up in a r/pokemon thread recently. Supposedly, the reason that Remoraid evolves into Octillery is because it looks like a pistol. It's kind of a stretch but, I guess the tail fin is like a handle and the blue stripes are the barrel. The pistol/fish evolves into whatever weapon Octillery is supposed to be.

[–]Mr-Machiavelli 79 ポイント80 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Artillery? Like canons and stuff i guess

[–]papercowmoo 31 ポイント32 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Octillery learns octazooka, so probably some kind of cannon/bazooka

[–]Noonsa 51 ポイント52 ポイント  (4子コメント)

It's not really a stretch, it has all the pieces. Check out how the 'trigger' and 'hammer' move on its attack animation; http://67.media.tumblr.com/3dca6eec533102bbfd7a4759f5cc3862/tumblr_nxqq8rybTY1r7tm2fo1_r1_500.gif

Further hints include:
It's Level 1 Move being 'Water Gun' (explicit reference to this is made in some games, to make sure people notice).
Pokedex entries, which make constant reference to its range, accuracy and the consistent wording in that it 'shoots' water.
That it evolves into a cannon(!)

whatever weapon Octillery is supposed to be.

It's literally a cannon, dude. Also known as artillery.

        I come to this thread after seeing some Lazy Town thread in /r/all too.

        I mean, I'm not that old, but these shows became popular either when I was in college or many years later. wtf, is Reddit that young?

        [–]captaincheeseburger1 54 ポイント55 ポイント  (2子コメント)

          Reddit is mostly frequented by teens and young adults, but tons of adults nowadays watch new shows and movies that are marketed to kids.

          For an extreme example, my great-aunt was born in the 1910s and watched Spongebob all the time up until she died in ~2008. No dementia, and she had several college degrees.

          My dad was in his mid-40s when Avatar the Last Airbender came out and he watched every episode.

          Conversely, I've got young cousins who are growing up on mostly classic Tom and Jerry and Loony Tunes.

          I think most reddit users just like to think of themselves as old though lol.

          I'm post-college aged and I still watch new episodes of Adventure Time. :)

              Uh...no, just the opposite. This was a show oriented at children that focused on interacting with animals in the wild.

              [–]JayPetey 29 ポイント30 ポイント  (1子コメント)

              I love how most of the show was the Kratt bros walking in an obviously north american field, pointing off into the distance off screen, then cutting to stock footage of animals in Africa, and pretending like they were right there wandering the savannah feet away from predators.

                        Remora, and pilotfish. We catch those offshore sometimes. If we find someone shirtless on the boat, we'll slap them on the back with it. It's a bitch to get them off, and it's really funny

                          Which made no sense, since there was a manta-ray pokemon (Mantine) in the same generation of games. Why not have Remoraid evolve into Mantine, then make some badass giant squid as an evolved form of Octillary. Like a Krakannon.

                          More likely it would have been a pre-evolution. Octillery's base stats are too high to have an evolution unless it was really pushed. That would have been an unlikely choice given how pushed Water-type already was in Gen II, with Suicune, Azumarill, and Slowking all heavily used in branding and marketing, plus Lanturn, Kingdra, and Octillery itself making their first appearances as well. That's a very powerful group of Pokemon, probably the deepest type in terms of new Gen II Pokemon, including the newly-introduced Steel- and Dark-types.

                          It would have been odd for something as strong as a mixed sweeper with BST 480 (105 Atk/SpA) and a great movepool to get an evolution in such an already-stacked typing. Yes, its 45 Spe makes it garbage in competitive, but for PvE it's quite strong.

                                              Fish hardly feel pain, man. They're basically robots on a routine, there's no need for pain.

                                              Fish Biologist here. Nope. They feel pain. It's a complete myth that they don't based on literally nothing but wishful thinking. We used to think human babies didn't feel pain for the same reason (spoiler, they do)

                                                    Might be the suffocating, but we don't know how long it's been out of the water. I think the unsettling part is not knowing whether or not the little guy got taken off the boat without damage to his sucker and was put back into the water safely.

                                                    It's interesting to see it instinctually stick to the boat, but if they couldn't get him off without damaging his sucker, mouth, whatever, that would suck, and the fact we don't have any closure on that is a little unsettling.

                                                        Thats because its an instinctual fear not a learned fear like a phobia. I'm guessing having to do with disease or parasites.

                                                        Arnold Wilkins and Geoff Cole of the University of Essex's Centre for Brain Science were the first scientists to publish on the phenomenon. They believe the reaction is based on a biological revulsion, rather than a learned cultural fear. In a 2013 article in Psychological Science, Wilkins and Cole write that the reaction is based on a brain response that associates the shapes with danger.

                                                        Cole, Geoff G.; Wilkins, Arnold J. (October 2013). "Fear of Holes". Psychological Science. 24 (10): 1–6. doi:10.1177/0956797613484937. PMID 23982244.

                                                        Yeah, that always made a lot of sense to me. It's why I described it as unconscious. It's not like I have PTSD from things with a lot of small holes. I never learned it. And it isn't fear, it's more like revulsion.

                                                            I think the itchy sensation makes senses. The fear is of having little holes growing on your body where little other living things could exist. The fear says 'if you see that shit dont touch it.' It's probably embedded in us from way back when people were basically mice.

I will stare at some of the pictures that give me that feeling in an attempt to understand and figure out WHY I feel so disgusted. Makes my head and back of my neck feel like insects are walking all over...

                                                              It's an idiosyncratic response that humans have developed in order to help us survive. Kinda similar to how people gag when they smell shit or rotting flesh, that 'disgust/dread' you feel when you see groups of holes is there to help encourage you to stay away from flesh that is either festering or infected with parasites.

                                                              So it isn't a 'phobia' because it isn't an irrational fear.

                                                              Like, just because you don't want to see someone get disemboweled, that doesn't mean you have a fear of blood. You just don't want to see gross shit.

                                                              But that's not a phobia. A phobia is irrational. Being grossed out by something reminding you of maggot infested meat is a perfectly normal reaction.

                                                              That being said, people saying "IT'S ALL IN YOUR HEAD NOTHING IS HAPPENING TO YOU" are wrong too, because again, it's a real reaction.

                                                              So, not a phobia, but not made up.

                                                              I have trypophobia (or trypogetthatshitawayfromme). It makes me feel like ants are crawling in my brain.

                                                              Yeah, but having a basis in biology doesn't necessarily mean it's not irrational. It's considered a phobia because it happens without it having to do with the specific situation. I don't really know how to explain it that we'll, but Wikipedia explains it marginally better than I am doing right now.

                                                              In a way, both you and the other people are right. The physiological reaction you experience very real, but it is also entirely in your head. The fact that it is in your head like that is what makes it a phobia.

                                                                        [–]tea_and_biology 877 ポイント878 ポイント  (24子コメント)

When connected to their host, the suction is so strong it's very difficult to remove them through force alone.

                                                                        This has proved useful for fishing in some parts of the world, where people attach a line to the tail-end of the remora fish and release it. It'll scuttle off and attach itself to a nearby turtle or similar, at which point the fish and turtle will be hauled back in together (source). Should be called the Judas fish or summit'.

The fisherman will paddle out into a lake with them, and tie a string around their neck, loose enough to not choke the bird, but tight enough to not allow fish that it catches into the stomach. The birds know to go catch fish and come back so the fisherman can remove the fish.

                                                                        And then after the fisherman has enough fish, he allows the birds to eat some that they have already caught, and they head back.

                                                                        The birds look chill af when they're on the boat/raft thing

A major component of their diet is actually host faeces, so they have to position themselves well, swimming directly behind the hole, to nab the stuff. Yum!

If you're going to eat it (they aren't good to eat) then kill it quickly and be done with it. If you aren't going to eat it, toss it back. I guess they don't have emotions, but seeing it hanging there with its eyes bugged out being unable to breathe doesn't impress me with these dudes.

                                                                                  For all we know this could have broke or severely damaged the fish's back/vertebra. This would never happen in the wild

Anytime you are fishing you might have to catch and release something. Sometimes you have to throw fish back, knowing they will die, but they would be illegal to keep. That always makes me sad. If I catch a remora I always stick it to me for good luck for a minute and throw it back.

They'd tie a line to the remora and wait for a turtle to swim by, then they'd toss in the remora and it would naturally swim to the turtle and attach itself for safety... which would let the sailors reel in the delicious turtle.

                                                                                      Sure, it's a fish but they also feel stress like many other animals.

I know you have to be careful handling a lot of freshwater fish because letting their back drop like that is damaging to them, so I have to assume this is, at the very least, unpleasant.

                                                                                      I was latched by one of these on my hand when diving in the Bahamas. My hand started bleeding, which wasn't too bad. However, it was kind of alarming because it was a shark chumming feed session where us divers were below the sharks and I was 100 feet under the boat, separated by these sharks. Bleeding in the water. That was the most scared 14 year old me had been. Never rose to the surface quicker in my life, didn't care about the dangers involved with surfacing quickly.

                                                                                      Good times.

The last time I was there, one of these guys had latched on to one of the turtles. Was cute to watch, but the volunteer told us the turtles don't really like it.

It's really neat to see just how strongly they can suction onto surfaces, but that thing is probably freaking the fuck out as it suffocates on that boat. Please correct me if I'm wrong, because I would actually like to be.
