^^ Ruby & Sapphire's Pokédex entry contains all the info you need :
"Cubone pines for the mother it will never see again. Seeing a likeness of its mother in the full moon, it cries. The stains on the skull the Pokémon wears are made by the tears it sheds."
Yup, so far Cubone is the best proposition made, and the one I support the most, even before the ones I made.

"Your kindness gives me the presentiment I can be reborn. Now, I want to believe at least in you." - Kaori YaeI'm not entirely sure your point. It's a video game character that happens to be an entire race of woobies. All the fluff from Yellow on has been about its woobieness. If you have something better, please share.

Alright, they're a Woobie. But they're a Woobie from a card game, not a video game. Otherwise there's no reason why we cannot have Jack Bauer as the trope image because he was in a game.

Alright. Show us an image that looks like it's from a game.
Currently reading up My Rule Fu Is Stronger than YoursDue to graphics limitations, there are no images from the game itself that can get the woobieness across. This particular requirement is silly for the simple reason that no image that could be used to illustrate would be directly recognizable as being from a game, unless of course an interface is visible, and that is usually avoided due to clutter.

I'm good with the Cubone image. It's obviously woobie-ish and the in-canon description fits.
As for whether or not it looks like it's from a videogame, it's fairly irrelevant; videogames have so many different styles that there's no "obviously videogame" style. The fact that it's on the Woobie: Videogames page should be enough context for readers to figure out that it's from a videogame.

Reading tropes such as You Know What You Did
Come on, there isn't something from Pokemon Stadium or something that can be used? I'm making it hard for you because everyone had brought up all these obstacles. If we can just overcome this last hurdle and get a good image from the game then everyone will be happy.

We only brought up that obstacle because you brought it up in your first post and were applying a double standard to your own choice of the Mass Effect screenshot.
I think the original crying Cubone image should work fine. It's simple and illustrates the point without need of a caption or text to explain it. It's like the WALL-E image.
Reading tropes such as You Know What You Did
Um...I don't know how to break this to you, but, well, that was not actually my screenshot. That was the image that was used before. Now one of the complaints was that the image had to look like it's from a video game. I did suggest one from Pokemon Stadium would work if you still wanted to use it
Currently reading up My Rule Fu Is Stronger than YoursIt seems we both made a slight mistake. The original post was by the user The Pope, referring to a bunch of Tokimeki Memorial screenshots as looking like they were from an anime. From there, you seemed to latch on to that and assume it was referring to the Vivi picture.
Either way, it's a requirement that should be ignored. PokémonStadium does not have any images of Cubone to qualify, so we are going to use the original illustration.
Just like the Oh, Crap! image discussion recently, maybe it would be best to throw up a collage of pics.

Cubone is an entire species of Woobies.
