[@arthas640]

its because the one that rolls into a ball is one of the most common armadillos and are the ones that spend the most time around humans, they're also the only one that live in America so they're the ones that appear the most in media as well. The rest of the armadillo species live in much more remote areas and live in South/Central America, who produce much less media, so they'll appear less in TV shows, movies, etc.

They already did, the pokémon is named sandshrew, a ground pokémon, who is well known for it's ability to roll into a ball and is yellow like sand. There is also an alolan version of the pokémon who is a ice and steel type pokémon and is white.

[@captain_buggles]

@@dandydandelion5502 I'd say they're more pangolins than armadillos. Even beyond that, it's not like an animal already having a Pokemon counterpart prevents them from doing it again in the future. Plus, fairy/ground would be way more interesting than just plain ground. Defensively, it's got two immunities, only one extra weakness because ground resists poison, and it can protect itself from most steel types anyway because of its ground typing. Offensively, it would be one of the best possible combos. Ground and Fairy together hits a hell of a lot of powerful mons super-effectively. To not take 1x damage from either of them, the only valid options are being Steel/Flying, Poison/Flying, Fire/Flying, or a Fairy-resistant type with Levitate.

@@sammartin2549 A genus is a rank in Linnaean classification, being more inclusive than a species but less inclusive than a family. As an example, in Homo sapiens, the genus name is Homo and the species name is sapiens. Many hominids exist in the genus Homo ( H. neanderthalensis, H. erectus ) making it more inclusive than a species (there are such things as subspecies and even subgenera, highlighting the complexity of Linnaean classification). Every living thing on the planet has such a name, with a genus and a species, showing how each is related to other organisms. Hopefully that helps!

You haven't been screeched at until you've been screeched at by a vole. I was walking home late one night pretty drunk and found a vole in the middle of the street, he was heading for the grass on the side of the road. I decided to play block the vole with my feet just to see what it would do. He would back up and try and go around me and I would reposition and block him again. This went on 4 or 5 times, finally he screeched at me and scared the hell out of me and I jumped in the air and he scampered off into the grass. I laughed at myself for quite some time over that. I never expected a vole to screech.
