Golurk - Tumblr Posts
i like this pokemon :)
tried a bit of perspective with this one hope you like it :o
A Golurk, one who's weathered a lot in life... and who, for the most part, takes it all in stride.
This piece was inspired by some artwork made by the wonderful Taplaos—specifically, this collection of forgotten robots. Please give them a follow if you haven't already—their art is really cool, the sorts of colorful & expressive pieces I strive to make someday.
Lazy drawing of my Pokésona, a golurk with a lot of modifications 👍
I have a theory involving the regi-golems, the bisharp line, slowking, golurk line + claydol line + nosepass line + Stonjourner.
the Draconids waged a war against the regis (originally) using only nosepass and dragon types with middling success; so thus they discovered how to create probopass, created the claydol line, they then invented the golurk line, they discovered how to slowking, created stonjourner, and selectively breed into existence the bisharp line. all that to fight and then seel the regis into their respective tombs: the 3 in Hoenn, Snowpoint temple, and the ones in galar that house those 2 new regis (also the various other tombs that house the regis). using nosepass as guardians to halt those who may try to obtain the power of the legendary titans, also constructing the obtuse puzzles to enter the chambers of the regis.
now, why would I say/think this? well, SOMEONE had to create the non-legendary golems (no, not the pokemon Golem), also I find it just a bit too convenient that bisharp and pawniard just so happen to form-up into ork-like warbands. also slowking seems like a pokemon that would be a little too rare to be as common of knowledge to be as used as it is because slowpoke fish using their tails so thus slowbro is quite common. yes, slowpoke swims, but I doubt "natural" slowking are all that common.
BUT JST, why are there no nosepass around the Galar regi tombs? metang eat nosepass, check out its moon pokédex entry. also, metang are all over that area of Galar. But JST why can I find nosepass on route 10 of Kalos? I would say they are there to guard the ultimate weapon, or their A.I. is just a crap-shoot.
I love Golurk's looming, awkward appearance, and how it seems like it's held up by ancient magitek. All of its details contribute to an aesthetic of ruin and age. It seems like such a mournful, protective force. I particularly like the jagged crack in its chest that has been repaired with the same substance as its wristbands. Sometimes I wonder whether it repaired itself, or if another entity did -- and who created it in the first place?
