Gen 1 Pokémon Fans Are In Awe As Cubone’s Face Is Discovered In Old 90s Picture Book | Retro Dodo

Gen 1 fans of Pokémon, especially those who played Red and Blue versions, can now find a bit more peace regarding the sorrowful character of Cubone. For years, it was known that Cubone never removes its skull helmet due to which nobody has ever seen its real face. However, recent discoveries have proven this notion wrong.

Key Points:

  • Discovery in Picture Book: A 90s coloring book titled Pokémon Picture Diary: Let’s Go With Pikachu! by Keiko Fukuyama features a page showing Cubone playing a Pokémon flute without its skull helmet. This indicates that at some point, Cubone was able to take off the skull.
  • Additional Evidence: There are also various products released over the years displaying Cubone’s face when its skull is not on, including a Pokémon card and a plush toy where users can unstitch the skull for it to be revealed.

Do you believe that Pokémon’s creators intentionally included these revelations in their products to subtly provide emotional closure or was it merely coincidental? How do you feel about the revelation of Cubone’s face being out there for all to see, given its symbolic representation as a motherless Pokémon?

Given some of the crazy stuff that has been said in interviews by the original staff, and the weirdness that are the really old Sugimori mangas, I think that once again fans are making a much bigger deal out of a small detail than the original creators ever did.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s neat as hell, I just see a lot of fandoms engage in absolutely absurd levels of hero worship.

Fans often think much deeper about things over time after the product releases than the original creators did during the comparatively shorter development time. If this provides some sort of emotional closure for you, go right ahead and take it.

I think it’s another non-mystery that became a fan-made urban legend that took on a life of its own.

Just putting some thought into it, you can easily guess what Cubone looks like without the skull.

The story behind Cubone never made any sense to me. Maybe I missed something.

But his skull helmet has the whole sad sorry about Mommy attached to it, yadda yadda. Ok, so that story fits for one specimen, or maybe a couple. But is there some massive killing spree on Marrowaks out there that all their mothers die after a single kid? How is this species not extinct?

Their population is cutting in at least half every generation, and for some reason, no offspring are ever seen before their mother perishes, is dead long enough to pry out her skull, and have it somehow fit conveniently as a hat. Or maybe they’re pushing down great grandma’s skull, I don’t know.

But this species never made any sense, because they all have it. If it was just a particular one everything makes sense, but this is some insane shit.
