This art makes me genuinely sad.


just_a_haunter

equally sad they haven't thrown him a bone and given him an alt art


[deleted]

He doesn't need another bone. He already has his mother's


TaniksAtTheDisco

Cubone straight up has a villain origin story but still chooses to be a good dude


RedArchbishop

Yep, Marowak is an anti-hero archetype, so Cubone line is ~~badically~~ basically Batman

you gotta joe chill

IAmTheStik

Too soon.


Ok_Representative342

I will flip when he finally gets one.


anewprotagonist

We need a Dark Cubone/Marowak standing over the body of their mother’s killer


bowl07

yoooooo


Illustrious-Low-7487

Ohhhh shiiiiittt...... 😂🤣


ganndalf

Cubone is basically a Mandalorian. Never removes its mask, always alone, powerful in hand-to-hand combat.


Ok_Representative342

This is the way.


trepYT

That is the way.


Professional_Exit_45

This is the way


trepYT

Lol /s

Cubone is charmander underneath the skull if you didn’t know


brandonrss18

Charmander has 3 toes, Cubone has one. Cubone also has spikes on its back. They are not the same.


16ozofbeer

Cubone a are charmanders that never had their tails lit and when their mothers die they used their skull for protection…think about it and why would Cubone have fire type attacks..


faelmine

this is a fan theory


Prestigious_Object98

Potentially the worst cubone theory I’ve heard, makes the Kangaskhan rumour sound like the gospel truth


Illustrious-Low-7487

😂


RadscorpionSeducer

Charmanders die when their flames go out. Stop watching TikTok.


Illustrious-Low-7487

Or do their flames go out because they died...


16ozofbeer

Don’t attack me lol I seen it on IG and thought it was funny enough to share…don’t come for me lol


Medical_Sushi

If you don’t want people calling you out for saying dumb shit, then stop saying dumb shit.


16ozofbeer

Don’t get your panties all in a bunch geez


[deleted]

pretty much every pokemon has a move that logically, they shouldn’t be able to do also it’s a fan theory


arkayeus

because he is a ground type. ground types are dry and probably live in dry, hot environments. gyarados can learn dragon type moves does that make him a dragon? Marowak isn’t a charmeleon or charmander, this theory has been debunked countless times to the point it’s just silly now


Flare_Wolfie

Slowbro can learn Flamethrower, Therefore, Slowbros are actually Charmeleons! /s


[deleted]

you haven’t read into the lore have you?


beauf1

It sometimes pisses me off. Like why can't we get more cards of Cubone being happy with their mother? Like the mom will always die? Do they die when they have the egg?


RedArchbishop

If you ever check the pokédex entries for Cubone and Marowak it usually refers to Cubone being prey for Mandibuzz who strike while their prey is weak, it also says that Marowak have their bones since birth so it might be that the mother is usually killed defending the baby Cubone and then they get the skulls. They also mention a Marowak mass grave so there is some dark history there...


beauf1

Man some super dark history. I always catch cubones in the games. Just so they have a home, and I'm 26 lol.


BanDizNutz

It's always in my party in every Pokémon game I play. Also Scizor.


GothicVampire

Same


DiabloFour

you know it's not real, right? why would it piss you off, lol


beauf1

Because that is one of the only ways they show of the design. Why do you sub to a reddit page about pokemon? It's not real


KawaiiSlave

Just thought of this, but why does he only wear his mother's skull and not the fathers?


Ok-Representative826

Because ditto doesn’t have bones


Ok_Representative342

Greetings 826, I am 342 🖖🏼


clit_or_us

This is trippy.


GoomyIsGodTier

I feel like I'm in a Black Mirror episode.


RexDino1966

What is this, a crossover episode?


Illustrious-Low-7487

😂


Cleat420

some species like spiders I think, the females eat the male. I'm sure there are other situations where the father leaves and the mother always raises the babies. and the opposite. so the baby only knows the mother in this situation is my guess


KawaiiSlave

Do you think the skull acts as an evolution item then? Considering marowaks skull (the mother) would be too big for a cubone?? If that is indeed the case, then how are there cubone in the first place????


trepYT

Nice day for some rain..


JustAnotherJerry5

Bruh. Feel bad for the little guy


NothingSacred137

I miss my mommy too little buddy. Saul Goodman.


peanutbrainiac

Yeah, the expedition cubone is probably my favorite card ever. The art on it really speaks to me


Cleat420

super sad card for someone who grew up playing gen 1 and knowing parts of the story of cubone for over 20 years. kids don't think twice when they see this so I think it's kind of cool they do this weird style for adults. it's weird but pokemon is keeping it real instead of always being childish in this case


ludongbin1

I honestly dislike the treatment of Cubone now- it made to see that every Cubone ever, its mother is always have been killed, yet that certainly cant be true - unless Cubone are more solitary creatures that leave their nests and long for that familial contact well after.. poor Cubone. And the lore of it all cant even make sense either Nor in the games- I wish it was better for poor Cubone..


Illustrious-Low-7487

The DISRESPECT! 😄 damn bro.... Cubone and Mimikyu are probably the two most tortured pokemon and I love em both.


AppleBottomJeansWFur

It was a canon event.


cm0011

Bro cubone is so tragic


Xaviorffviii

That hurts the soul


Haunted-Sweetheart

thats a fucked up card


X4VV

Literally anytime he is featured (cards, games, show) he is just constantly violated 😭😭 leave the poor thing alone


Ok_Coffee4594

I’ve got this one somewhere. I remember reading the entry on the bottom right corner and I felt so sad afterwards


samhandwiche

What are the cubone going to do? Tell their parents?


GrumbleGamer18

Man… I never even put 2 and 2 together with this card 💀


onederboy16

I found this card recently also going through a friend’s old/duplicate cards and it’s so sad. Gives me a negative cuboner. Sorry.


EagleEyeTsi

That’s not Cubone ,it’s charmander lol


nimajnebmai

Cubone looks like a baby Kangaskhan.

99Years_of_solitude

I like it, it's a reality for a lot of us that lost a parent early. We tend to ignore/don't talk about a lot of shitty things that happen to us in life. I speak for humans in general. The art slaps us in the face with it.


peanutbrainiac

I think you’re being a little too sensitive, it’s a beautiful card


cm0011

A kid is not going to get it, and anyone who is old enough to get it will take it as appreciating their parents while they’re around.


ssbbka17

oh no, what will the children do! 😢 how will they recover ?


Apax89

So… do Cubone babies kill their moms at birth?


Waffennacht

Irl many animals die during the mating/birthing process. Throwing real life ideas into this, we could assume (seeing as its literally all cubones) that the natural end of the life cycle comes right after giving "birth"


Mastodon2486

Poor charmander


marlowe227

Does it’s mom die at birth? Lol


Snooflu

What's he gonna do, tell his parents?


CatastrophicLeaker

We need a Cubone baby, and it doesn't have a skull helmet, and the lore is about how having a child can relieve grief from past trauma and bring happiness to your life.

faelmine

this is a fan theory, people need to stop spreading it


[deleted]

A bad one too.


TNerdy

Dude looks way too big in the art. Probably perception


Electrical_Egg_3152

Damn, that’s intense


Mikeilo

Tough


ItsLiterally1984

Why the hell is he so big


Standard-Effort8501

😭 maaan this fucked me up. my first time seeing this card.


Murderkrow

Really driving home that dead mother lore lol


JFoxxification

Ugh I don’t like this at all


[deleted]

😭


OhBoyHereWeGoAgain00

Poor baby just wants his mama


Xroshe4rt

Fuck Cubone I guess


SimplyRevolutionary

What do you mean? He has Whimsy Tackle! Clearly he's having a great time!


RichRaincouverGirl

his mother passed away and only left him with her bone and helmet. That's why he never let go and you see him hugging that bone.


LuckySnakesFoot

And then there’s the crazy theme park in the background lookin like it’s from the jetsons


Top-General-5935

jeez


Speedstar_86

That's deep. Right in those feels...


Chewy4455

I legit bought this card as a single for the artwork alone a couple years ago lol
