Summary
ThePokemoncommunity was shocked to make a sudden observation about one of its classic creatures, Aron, after a fan discovered that it has a small mouth underneath its wide, metallic domed head. More than 20 years after the Pokemon’s debut in the third generation ofPokemongames, the revelation came as a surprise to many fans who had somehow managed not to see it for quite a long time.
Pokemon Ruby and Sapphiresaw a lot of new additionsto the franchise when they debuted on the Game Boy Advance in 2002, with the biggest being the inclusion of a whole new set of Pokemon for players to encounter. One of the many new creatures introduced in the games is the Steel/Rock-type Pokemon Aron, who eventually evolves into one of the game’s toughest monsters, Aggron.
Despite Aron being over 20 years old, however, Reddit user alphonse3344 took to the officialPokemon GOsubreddit to to share a screenshot of the game demonstrating that the monster has a small mouth underneath its head. While it seems obvious that the creature would have a mouth, it is not readily visible when viewing Aron from the front, leading to one of the more amusing revelations within thePokemonfandom.
Pokemon GO Player’s Sudden Realization Amuses Fans
Reactions to the post in the comments were a mixture of confusion and amusement, as some fans were similarly unaware of Aron’s unassuming mouth, while others seemingly found it funny that they had never noticed it before. Some pointed out that Aron would be unable to eat anything if it didn’t have a mouth, but withhow diverse the creature designs inPokemoncan be, there are plenty that don’t have one at all.
The original post does concede the fact that Aron’s evolved forms, Lairon and Aggron, both have clearly visible mouths, but the user seemingly just assumed that it only appears after it evolves. Some still questioned the logistics of how Aron would be able to eat with its mouth located so far back behind its head, but one user referred to some key art fromthePokemonTrading Card Gameto show that it stands up slightly to position itself properly before eating.
In any case, Aron’s mouth is just one of many strangerevelations and theories thatPokemonfans have madeabout the series throughout its over 25-year history. As the series continues to expand with the upcomingPokemon Legends: Z-Aand a potential brand-new generation on the rumored Nintendo Switch successor, fans will have even more lore and characters to dive into and discuss.
