I mean when you think about it any animal terminology we use doesn't ever apply in pokemon since they don't actually have arachnids in their worlds. If you think about it all the titles for pokemon don't really make sense. Like pokemon being classified by the pokedex as bagworm pokemon since... well there is no such thing as a bagworm in the pokemon universe. Same for arachnids, technically the term doesn't exist in that world, hence why they can take the liberty of making them look different from our world's arachnids.

Common misconception about the chrysalis. They aren't actually spun by the caterpillars themselves (those are cocoons). Chrysalises are actually a hard outer shell that caterpillars form under their old bodies which grow and literally bursts out of them. Everything about the caterpillar's old appearance (face, legs, skin) is shed like a dirty onesie, and replaced with a stationary container where the caterpillar melts itself, reforming into a new creature a few days after.

I personally think that the Bug-type represents the "Arthropod-type" the same way how there used to be a Bird-type that they then renamed because things fly other than birds. There are things that are Bug-like that aren't just insects: like spiders, isopods, and hermit crabs. I wouldn't be surprised if in the future we get a Bug-type Horseshoe Crab or Sea Monkey. This also explains Shuckle because if Shuckle is based on a Crustacean (a Barnacle) it would be in line with the other crustacean bug types.

[@catiniya]

“Bugs” are an actual type of insect too, eg: assassin bug, kissing bug, stink bug. Since the name has been kinda washed out, we call them “true bugs” now. Think of it as calling a bee a butterfly when people say “that fly is a bug”, when that is not the case lol.

In Japanese, crustaceans like crabs (蟹) and shrimps (蝦) use the 虫 character which means bug which is probably why they refer to them as bugs.

[@strionic770]

But… but clauncher…

[@Thesaurus_Rex]

So then why aren't Krabby, Kingler, Corphish, Crawdaunt, Clauncher, Clawitzer, *catches breath* Binacle, Barbaracle, Crabrawler, or Crabominable bug type? All of them are based of crustaceans (though Binacle and Barbaracle are pretty...out there interpretations of a barnacle).

[@Icewolfnector]

Some of them also really do feel and look like bugs of the ocean's imo. So I can definitely see why they gave them that typing.

[@Thesaurus_Rex]

Yeah, part of why I'm annoyed by this is because the Bug/Water type is a really cool combination that we've only really seen used to its potential in generation VII (yes, Surskit is gen III, but it wasn't really...using Bug/Water to its potential). Araquanid and Golisopod are really neat Pokemon, and I feel like Krabby, Clauncher, Kingler, or Clawitzer would appreciate having the second type to help them stand out from the plethora of other mono-water types (though Clauncher and Clawitzer already have a degree of uniqueness).

Crustaceans are arthropods, just like insects, arachnids, and myriapods. I'd give Nintendo a pass on that, since crustaceans are basically bugs with gills.

Yet in the Pokémon Gold Alpha Demo, Paras apparently had a baby form where it ate it's way out of the mushroom. So it turns out that Paras was the true parasite all along!

[@NeoWocky]

Nah, it's a continue fight for survival. The fungus grows to control Paras and kill it, but Paras leaves eggs inside it that are eventually born and eat the fungus, and because they eat it it's spores start growing on top of the baby paras and grow enough to control it, and so the cycle continues.

I think Pherimosa might be a moth of the Lymantriid family; they are very pale and sometimes have translucent wings. And pheromones, the word and sexual bio-chemical this Pokemon was named for, were first discovered in moths. Especially considering Pherimosa's feminine design; female moths give off pheromones to lure in males; butterflies and moths do it purely to find a mate, but some insects will apply a femme fatale strategy and lure in males of another species and devour them.

Do you not sort comments by "Newest first" often? Recently I posted update comments myself on every type video because I also wanted to see where the newer Pokémon would go; I just finished on Sunday night. None of them has gotten any interaction, however, so they do not appear high under "Top comments" except for me. Feel free to look at those. Note, however, that when I looked at all of them yesterday while I was signed out, they did not appear on the Normal and Electric videos (although I still have them signed in, so they have not been deleted), so you might not be able to see those two either, although the other sixteen ought to be visible without problem.
