OP’s Pokemon

OP decides to make their own variant of the Pokemon Snorlax,) which is a Normal type in the Pokemon games. There is also a baby form named Munchlax,) which is a Normal type as well. Note that both official Pokemon have “lax” in their name.

OP posts in /r/Pokemon two images of their fake Snorlax variant, (or ‘fakemon’) calling it ‘Thorax’, and making it an Electric/Fighting type.

Pokéfans open their Pokédexs

OP made a typo:

Typo on your post - should be Thorlax.

OP: I said what I said! [downvoted]

Almost a new favorite mon:

If this thing were named Thorlax or Norelax it would be my new favourite Pokémon Hands down. Holy shit I love this.

OP: Like a lot of Pokemon, it'll come with a tinge of disappointment because I don't feel either of those names match. Thanks though [downvoted]

The name could be adjusted:

Thorlax* Incredible design though 👍

OP: Nope, Thorax, as in Chest, big chested fighting type [mega downvoted]

Kinda think Thorlax is unanimous dude. I know you created it and everything but the public has spoken! It just fits way better. 🙌

OP: Nope, a man's gotta have his convictions!

It is, and will stay, Thorax!

If [GameFreak] can ignore public outcry, so can I [more downvotes]

I dont like the name But I Respect and Like you bravery soul.

“Public outcry” dude it’s just people recommending you pick a better, more fitting name. Chill

‘Thorlax’ really should be its name:

Thorlax is way better.

Be normal [heavily downvoted]

that is normal from what I’m seeing majority of people think “thorlax“ is better so thinking “thorax” is better wouldn’t be normal

Not the point. Point is, it’s OP’s creation so people should stop acting like children and telling him which name is better [downvoted]

That’s called critiquing.

That’s not critique lol. [downvoted]

Feedback

Be nice to OP and their design:

Thorlax is way better.

Don’t be rude [downvoted]

But it’s true

It’s a fake pokemon who cares if a fake name would be “better” why not just let the creator have a good time. No need to correct something that isn’t even real anyways [more downvotes]

Ummmm… you know what you win, no point arguing over something that isn’t real anyway

On team Thorax:

I am defending Thorax as a name.

Thor Axe Snorlax

And big chest which it definitely has.

It is a smart name y'all are just cowards

OP: People can be very opinionated, and some can even get mad if you don't agree with them. Sometimes I feel like agree to disagree doesn't exist here hahaha

Oh well, it's just a fake name for a fake design for a game with fake creatures, it's not a big deal hahahaha

A different kind of pun name:

NoreLax

OP: I know you're proud of the name, and it'd be cool for a psychic type or something similar, but you've gotta stop spamming it.

I didn't spam it I replied here.

Then I was talking with others.

Not spamming

OP: I get the notifications, you've definitely spammed it

☝️🤓

Singular takes

​hey guys check out my snorlax regional form [image of a human thorax]

Design = YES!

Name = No

You just made a lot of gay pokemon fans real happy

Someone had better make a fighting grass called Lorax.

When do we get Xanlax? 😏

Can't wait for Abdomen

👀 prepares the hear me out cake

He didn’t state his opinion. He stuck his head in the sand and stubbornly ignored feedback. His right to do, and our right to downvote it.
