Description Another Poke-Design challenge..design.
I love Garbodor. He's so nasty and weird and un-loved!!
He was challenging.
Headcannon time! Garbodor is a poison-type Pokemon and I view him as toxic waste, the face of pollution. Continuously spewing sludge into rivers and lakes, emitting foul toxins into the air, destroying plants and trees with every step, having no regard for natural life. Like large factories dumping toxic waste into the water, people killing off life with garbage and the need to build more and more buildings. I feel like he's the result of these dirty actions, a Pokemon transformed by the greed and destruction of people. Like he was a normal Pokemon until he fell into a pond or something filled with toxic waste and was mutated into this...thing. This trash heap!
Now he's just pissed off and sad so he lives at the dump

Maybe he was a Snorlax! He's so dang cute though <3

Original Garbodor on Bulbapedia: [link]
Submitted to the "Redesign a Character Contest" put on by #CR-FanArt-Contests
C'mon, Garby!!

--------
The design-challenge is this:
Go to Random Pokemon Generator [link] and generate 1 Pokemon. From that Pokemon you’re to come up with 3 new concept ideas to re-vamp the original idea! You can’t keep generating Pokemon until you get one that you’re pleased with; you get who you get. Even if it’s a random Voltorb or a Ditto, it’s a fantastic exercise to boost your skills! This isn't a contest, it is just something to do to help your skills grow.

Garbodor belongs to Pokemon, Nintendo. Art belongs to me.

Poor thing. He does look like he was once a Snorlax.

Oh good someone read my headcannon and agrees with me!
That's really the only explanation I can give to this Pokemon. I mean come on lets me honest...trash doesn't just 'come alive' and sprout arms and legs and a face...it just doesn't happen (even in Pokemon lol) and I have a hard time believing that Trubbish would evolve into something like this; he looks like he would be a stand-alone Pokemon and Trubbish nonexistent. (I still love Trubbish though, he's cute ) It just makes me think that there's something else going on you know? Ah well, I guess that's what headcannons are for Thanks for your comment!!
