What are the Gen 4 Pokemaniacs dressing up as?

I know that the Gen 1 and 2 sprites are emo guys, the gen 3/ORAS ones are Charizards, but what are the gen 4(HeartGold Soulsilver sprites supposed to be cosplaying as?)

Poké Maniacs dress up similar to Charizard in Generations III and VI. In Generation IV, they could be more like Larvitar.

Larvitaris the most reasonable guess, in my opinion. Its color scheme somewhat matches the trainers’ costume, and Larvitar is in the Monster egg group. In addition, Larvitar’s evolution line was first introduced in Johto, which is the region HGSS takes place in.

It has been confirmed by the Pokémon Company that the costume is not a Pokémon, just a generic green monster.

I Quote: “As seen in the Pokémon video games, Poké Maniacs are Trainers who love dressing up as intimidating Pokémon andother creatures. In costume as aGreen Monster Poké Maniac, this is a special Pikachu plush—it’snot even dressed as a Pokémon at all!A removable hood and big claws are ready for romping and stomping.”

May this quench your curiosity.
