greninja's tongue

Re: Do Greninja Have Two Tongues?

Their tongue just comes out of their mouth and wraps around. You can tell pretty well in this image.

Re: Do Greninja Have Two Tongues?

I imagine that he would get a lot of mosquito bites on that tongue, considering it's basically an exposed muscle.
 
Re: Do Greninja Have Two Tongues?

Are there any specific official pictures of Greninja that make they look like they have two tongues?

Fixed. It would work, too. Greninjas aren't exclusively male.
 
Re: Do Greninja Have Two Tongues?

First time I hear of it :p. It only has one, and with the size of it really doesn't look like it can have another.

Re: Do Greninja Have Two Tongues?

Oh I couldn't really tell. When I would pet mine in Amie, it looked as if it had a regular tongue inside of its mouth, in addition to the one around its neck.
 
Re: Do Greninja Have Two Tongues?

Just as additional information, Bulbapedia says,

It's mouth is hidden behind a large pink tounge wraps around it's head.

So singular :-D
 
Re: Do Greninja Have Two Tongues?

Its tongue is really gross, must be dirty and annoying to have to taste stuff.

Anyway it's just the one.

So I take it that its tongue begins to seep out of its mouth towards the right, right? And then forms what wraps around its neck?

I don't know how I feel about that. One it looks uncomfortable, and two its being exposed to the natural elements, moves, and everything else. But thank you for clearing up the confusion. Either way, Greninja looks very happy ^___^

That's what it looks like.

Oh, and for those saying it looks painful or uncomfortable, it's probably evolved in a way that makes it more durable and resistant to the normal stresses of everyday life. Although I'm not entirely sure why it would benefit from having its tongue stick out like that. Probably just a Rule of Cool design. XD

The tongue is pretty sensitive (look at Greninja's reaction in Pokemon Amie by touching his tongue and comparing with other body parts), so I think it's for letting them sense their surroundings better. It's supposed to be a ninja anyways.
 
Re: Do Greninja Have Two Tongues?

It pretty clearly only has the one tongue.

I like the tongue scarf design but I've always had trouble trying to think what practical purpose it could serve. Leaving your tongue exposed like that seems really risky, all someone has to do is grab it and they could choke you. It would be nice if the Pokedex entries could offer some insight, but the current ones don't.

I guess they could use it to "taste" the air and detect nearby foes that could be hidden from sight or something? idk
 
Re: Do Greninja Have Two Tongues?

The tongue is probably just way too big, so it's better to have it outside its mouth.

Ah, that would make sense if the tongue acts similar to cat whiskers or, as Winterdaze put it, allows it to "taste the air." This would give it a sort of sixth sense, which fits into its ninja theme nicely.

Tell that to Lickitung. XD Although I guess Lickitung has a significantly larger body compared to Greninja. A large body isn't a good adaptation if you want to be fast and stealthy.
