    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Was Venonat supposed to evolve into Butterfree?

    I don't think Butterfree is cuter than Venonat. o_o Am I alone in thinking Venonat is adorable? A Venonat doll would rock. The Sugimori art, I think, still looks rather close - in the pictures posted earlier, they're even in a similar pose.

    Something that I always found weird as a kid was how much Venonat and Butterfree looked alike. The eyes, mouth and hands are definitely similar. The feet and antennae are somewhat similar as well. Someone on TVTropes has speculated that perhaps the sprites were switched for Butterfree and...
