76 Golem
About the bead sprite:
2,232 Beads
A semi-large sprite that was baffling me for a while. The actual sprite from the games shows Golem's plates as shades of green, but I thought that would look dumb. I eventually decided to just go with greys and this is the result. I don't really know much about this Pokemon because I never got him in the game. I didn't have any friends to trade with to evolve Graveler. Forever Alone Face.jpg.
What my Fiancée calls this Pokemon:
Facts & Trivia:
In Generation I, Golem was the only Pokémon the player couldn't even see without trading. However, its existence was implied by a non-player character who had just received his friend's Graveler. Venusaur (if the player started with Charmander) and either Kabutops or Omastar would also be missing, but only Golem was definite.
Golem is probably based on a turtle. Turtles are believed to have the world on its back in myths. (Hindu mythology, Chinse mythology and Native American mythology.) Its "shell" may represent tectonic plates or Earth.
Golem's name probably is a reference to the golems of medieval and Hebrew legend. Additionally, ゴロゴローン gorogorōn is the sound of rolling.
