Beetle Bros (Heracross vs Pinsir)

[Noblejanobii]

Both Heracross and Pinsir are based off beetles and have been considered counterparts in later generations due to their origins, being single stage (as to opposed to Scyther who was originally Pinsir's counterpart but now evolves), bug typing, and mega stone game exclusivity in X and Y.

So which beetle pokemon do you prefer, the Hercules and Japanese Rhinoceros beetle inspired Heracross, or the ferocious stag beetle themed Pinsir?

I like Heracross! Pinsir's design is a bit too intimidating for me? Not in a fierce or cool way, I just don't find it that appealing.

Hera-hera-Heracross! Big and shiny, it's the bug boss! Love it, need it, Heracross!

I always preferred Heracross! Better design, better in battle, and just. Better overall.

Yeah, this is looking like it will be a landslide in the direction of Heracross, and rightly so.

Definitely Heracross—it's kind of cute, with that innocent expression, while Pinsir gives me the creeps!

Found some cute fan art of both, surprisingly. :D

Heracross, not even a contest lol.

Heracross. Although if I'm going to be honest, this would be a harder decision if we're talking about mega evos, I think. :x
