Fav Pokemon: Bunneary

Hated Pokemon: Victribell

Im a HUGE fan of Buneary! (and Lopunny.) The fact its shiny is pink as well? :'3

I think Victreebel is pretty cool... but maybe my attachment has more to do with James' IDK... But I wont scold you because I might be biased!

Fav pomemon?

Hello!

I'm sorry if expect you expect a one-word answer, but I don't seem to be capable of those. I'm ashamed of how long it is, as I realised I had a lot I really liked, and I don't know if I feel strongly enough about any of them specifically to warrant promotion to favourite.

Prepare yourself:

Such a question to ask, and so many to choose!

Being wholly indecisive, I have several answers to give:

1. It'll seem strange but I don't remember ever having a favourite Pokémon. It was the people that interested me the most, their quirks and personalities. There being Pokémon was a means to an end.

2. At the same time, I had a soft spot for Pokémon that, once evolved, just looked like fatter versions of their previous selves:

• Pikachu and Raichu

• Clefairy and Clefable

• Jigglypuff and Wigglytuff

• Chansey and Blissey

• Marill and Azumarill

3. Out of love for the anime, all the Pokémon Ash, Misty, Brock, Jessie and James had from Kanto to Johto, but especially Pikachu, Meowth, Butterfree, Psyduck, Vulpix, Togepi, Lickitung, Victreebel, Horsea, Lapras and Snorlax.

4. My mom's favourite's still remain Vulpix, Ninetales, Gastly, Haunter, Gengar, Ponyta, Rapidash, Horsea, Seadra, Staryu, Starmie, Eevee, Vaporeon, Jolteon and Flareon, so them too.

5. Vileplume, not only it belongs to my main girl Jessibelle, and is capable of holding a cup of tea at last, but because it sounds like a Cockney flower girl, like Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady.

Vyyyyyulploooooom!!!

6. My favourite film is The Power of One, so Lugia, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres. I always preferred Pokémon Silver to get Lugia at the earliest.

7. Mewtwo and Mew for giving us the only film based on the games' plot.

8. I'm still stuck on Johto being 'new', because no following generation has ever made me that excited. These days fans expect another generation every three or four years, but then it was genuinely surprising for there to be a sequel.

What, you mean there are more of them?!

All of that set. Particularly Mareep, Flaaffy, Ampharos, Wooper and Quagsire. Never once played a game without them on my team.

9. Groudon. Can't remember why. I just know I played Ruby a lot more than Sapphire.

10. I quite like Xerneas's delicacy, but they gave it a female voice in the Diancie film.

It's a stag!

11. Shaymin when a hedgehog, and not the mouthy film one that slags off Ash.

12. Eeveelutions, although it still niggles there wasn't a Grass type in the First Generation that needed a Leaf Stone.

13. Houndoom, the dog of Satan!

We have a lot of folklore about demonic, fire-breathing dogs in England, so it makes me feel at home.

14. Sabrina is my favourite Gym Leader as she has a backstory, so Abra, Kadabra, and Alakazam.

Everyone had Alakazam! He laid waste to enemies!

15. Jigglypuff! There ain't no party without Jigglypuff. I never knew why the posters had her dark pink with green eyes whereas the anime version was light pink with blue eyes, but I preferred that.

16. Snubbull for being adorably gruff and grumpy looking yet still being a girl in the series. I liked the set up of Jessie and James having a cat and a dog. Her owner looked just like my nan too.

That's where she went!

17. The sort of bizarre freaks there were in the First Generation that you don't get anymore, where you'd just stare at them in disbelief.

Mr. Mime, the slave of Dame Ketchum.

A mime artist!

There are female ones!

It was called 'Marcel' in Red and Blue, after Marcel Marceau, so was probably a Frenchman.

Jynx, the slave and possible wife of Santa.

An opera singer!

It's got armour-plated bosoms!

It's from The Ring Cycle!

To this day I wonder where that man in Cerulean City got his.

If from Johto, why is it a Kanto Pokémon?

18. Slowpoke and Slowbro, for their Psyduck-esque bossed-out expression.

19. Litwick, Lampent and Chandelure. Interesting idea.

20. Bulbasaur was my first ever Pokémon, so it will always be special, even more so because it was erased by an Xploder cheat cartridge! As was the Mew I had, and you had to attend the download then!

Rest in peace.

21. Babies, so Pichu, Cleffa, Igglybuff and Azurill, but not Mime Jr. or Smoochum.

I can't believe they try and make Mime Jr. 'cute'.

It's a clown! It's evil!

Smoochum is alright, but it's a duck.

Isn't it?

A duck with the haircut of a mediæval page.

22. Gible. Not just Ash's, which brightened up the series and always came across as far more knowing than it let on, but the one Lyra and that fella she was with had, because it honked when it fell over!

23. Cofagrigus for being Tutankhamun's sarcophagus. It's surprising James didn't have one. Every time it came out, it could've stuffed him inside, but I suppose that doesn't fit with such a humourless era.

24. The Pikachu character, though I went right off Emolga when it was caught by Iris.

Togedemaru is the anarchic one, does what it wants and doesn't care.

25. Cats, especially Espurr because of the noise it makes, and being all alone in that old woman's house.

26. I like Empoleon's design. It looks to be wearing a doily for a waistcoat, but Barry is a dickhead!

27. Hoppip, Skiploom and Jumpluff. Useless in battle, but they're so sweet!

28. Shinx, Luxio and Luxray: thunder cats!

29. Raikou, Entei and Suicune, but especially Raikou for it's colours. I still remember the first time I ran into one in the grass of Johto, and being frightened as to what it was coming at me.

30. Magmar for the classic volcano war with Charizard, though slightly spoiled by speculating that it too is a duck.

31. Tough Pokémon like Gyarados, Dragonite and Tyranitar that are difficult to obtain, worth it, and have to be given double weakness to make it fair for everyone else.

Why is Gyarados a Flying type?

32. I do like Type:Null and Silvally as they remind me of Final Fantasy foes, but 'Type:Null' is one of the worst names there's ever been.

33. Zeraora, even if it does looks more like a Digimon having gone through Golden Armour Energise.

34. Cubone wears the skull of its dead mother! Marowak is her avenger!

Brings out the emo in me.

35. I realise how strange this is, but Tangela. I think because the only one you see in the Indigo League is Erika's, so it had mystery. Not to mention not being able to see its face.

It wears shiny red shoes!

Another Grass Pokémon who can't have a cup of tea with no arms!

Poison. Mind sending me a type? :)

1. Victreebel- here’s a backstory for the victreebel line; before lets go I had never used one before! But I found a bellsprout and fell in love and slowly but surely it became my fav poison line (( I named mine floppy bec when they follow you around the flop it’s so cute))

2. Toxicroak- I watched the Sinnoh anime when I was younger and saw the galactic generals had one and thought it was so cool!!!! So when I played the game I looked in the great marsh for a crogunk :,)

3. Muk- this may seem a little odd but I think muk is really cute??? He’s just a goopy boi that wants to give u a lot of love 12/10

4. Roserade- oof when I found out that roselia evolved I was like :O so cool!! I really like the design of roserade !

5. Nidoqueen- going back to my let’s go play through, I had a nidoqueen ( I had nidoking when I played fire red as a kid) and she carried my ENTIRe team (( her name is Cecil and I love her a lot

6. Vileplume- funny story about the oddish line, when I was a kid, I had Pokémon sapphire and when I played through it the first time I had no idea where to go ( I think I was 5 when I first played it) so I ran around the same area over and over again, eventually I ran into a shiny oddish! I was confused as to why it was green and called my brother for help and I’ve never seen someone grab a gameboy so quickly to catch a Pokémon—I’ll have this memory forever and that’s why I chose vileplume!

Ofc I’ll send you a type ! :)

#sugarysweetcherries #pokemon #askin aubs #this was a good ask! i just realized that half are grass types :.)#thank you!!

Pokédex, Lucky Egg, Apricorn, Extreme Speed, Powder Snow, Extrasensory

Pokédex: Fav team: White 1 last year, I was in love with how my team ended up. I believe it was Serperior, Thundurus, Seismitoad, Sigilyph, Krookodile, and Hydreigon. (I did hold out and grab a Deino from Victory Road at the end, and BW has a long post-game in East Unova anyway, so it got some decent mileage!) They’re sitting in Y right now while I (slowly) replay White.Lucky Egg: First game/when: One of the few memories of being little I have is playing Blue on my little Gameboy Color. I know I had a Blastoise, Victreebel, and Fearow! I also vividly remember abusing the Cinnabar Island glitch, which spawned level 163 Mewtwos for me and gave me unlimited Master Balls.Apricorn: Favourite fossil: Kabutops! Cradily is probably #2 E-Speed: Normal type: Tauros. I never liked Tauros until I started playing competitively, and in select formats, his Attack/Speed + movepool (and Sheer Force) makes him a Threat.Powder Snow: Ice type: Weavile(/Sneasel). I love my Dark/Ice babies.Extrasensory: Is it cliché to say Mewtwo

My Pokemon Teams

Hey IDK I’d like to write about the partners I’ve had through my life and what they meant to me! Cause yanno, they’re unsung heroes too, what with how important Pokemon is to me.

Kanto

I was lucky enough to be the target age group right as Pokemon came to the United States as Pokemon Red & Blue, a classmate of mine introduced me and then we became best of friends over it.

Because I can’t access my Stadium with a busted N64 I... have no idea what my OT name was, and I seem to recall my first playthrough file got corrupted somehow physically. I remember being devastated and making a... don’t laugh... a Geocities webpage in memorium to my Raichu. I also wrote 9/10 year old “poetry”.

What I do remember was I had a Blastoise, Raichu “Sparky”, and a Vileplume that I was angry I couldn’t name “FlowerChild” because of character limits so I stubbornly named her F.C.. I still tag Vileplume stuff as F.C. haha.

More in recent memory, my FireRed/LeafGreen playthrough consisted of:

FireRed: Trainer Usagi, touting Arcanine “Arzu”, Dugtrio “Dugzu”, Wartortle “Tlezu”, Dragonite “Drazu”, and Meowth “Owzu” No idea why I didn’t evolve Eevee to Jolteon but I do recall walking into the E4 and saving post Lorelei on accident while TOTALLY not ready for the rest. :’> I was... determined not to evolve the ones I liked more in their pre-evolution. My stubbornness caused me to... never successfully beat Champion Blue but I loved my team and that was what mattered! And I still have all of them in Bank today! (knowing about “naming themes” I went with an easy one based on old Pokemon Stadium suggestions- part of the Pokemon name + “zu” suffix)

LeafGreen: Trainer Tokeiko, using Charizard “Okuribi”, Dragonite “Ryu”, Raichu “Rakurai”, Butterfree “Kaoru”, and a Victreebel, no idea why I didn’t nickname, I didn’t intend to originally use Victreebel but it helped my team a lot. I was in the weaboo phase and looking up badly translated Japanese works- or Japanese sounding words- to name these Pokemon. -_- This was my main and full completion playthrough though! I restarted for OT Risu.

Johto

This broke my trend in starting with the “secondary” because my SoulSilver was put on hold until the WalMart special game bundle came through with the Lugia figure. I couldn’t help myself and beat the game with HeartGold and into Kanto... I never finished getting the Gym Badges though and going off to Red. I don’t recall much why besides lack of interest.

HeartGold: Trainer Shanon, based on my first OCT run! Now her character was a bug enthusiast but she had a team mostly inaccessible to me without hacking at the time as no way to trade from Sinnoh. So she started with cyndaquil, my fav of the Johto starters, Typhlosion “Tressia”, Poliwrath “Hans” (like in canon), Gengar “Alex” (like in canon), Forretress “Cone’en” (like in canon), and then Ampharos “Current”, Dragonair “Talisman”, Jumpluff “Cottonball”, Togetic “Sunny”, and Kangaskhan “Gambit” (later INSPIRING a continuation to canon, even before Mega Kanga!). Tangela “Myriad” (from canon) I painstakingly caught in Kanto but never bothered to level up too much without a way to evolve her... I forget how I got Alex evolved herp. I loved Shanon’s naming style which was slightly meta, almost too-normal, or very silly for a pretty straight faced, “too serious” player character. It gave a personality to even boxed Pokemon, making them even worth transferring through gen 5 to gen 6 and Bank! Shanon came up with some of my favorite-most nicknames- Sandslash “Minesweeper” and their Sandshrew daughter “Rawhide”, Mantine “Missile”, Scyther couple “Papercut” and “Doublecut”, Paras “Parapa”, Weedle “Dillan”, Beedrill “Honey”, Butterfree “Radar”, Spinarak “Arack”, Venonat “Radar”, Farfetch’d “Dinner”, Misdreavus “Annibella”, Sudowoodo “Treeface”, Larvitar “Tartar”, Umbreon “Omlet”, Tentacool “Virginia”, Quagsire “Smiley”, Gyarados “Vicious”, and Arbok “Silvia”.

SoulSilver: my “hack” game with an AR, trainer Yanni was Shanon’s “rival” in the OCT so it seemed fitting this disabled hitman was the rival game play. Key Pokemon: Hitmonlee “Luger”, Nidoking “Theseus”, Dewgong “Menthe”, Fearow “Pyrite”, Arcanine “Waffles”, (so his official team from the rp!), then... my shiny Electrode “Lex” (yes, hacked and based on the RP one from Dresca), shiny, totally hacked Lugia, Lance’s Dragonite I illegally caught and named “Hamlet”, and the EXTREMELY RANDOM appearance of Entei “Vulcan” while I was waiting for a manager one morning in the parking lot of work, forcing me to use a Masterball for my lack of time (I seriously turned on the DS to get somewhere in 5 min...)

Hoenn

Ohhh boy it’s my favorite most and most played games! Really guilty confession... I haven’t finished ORAS. :’( Wally broke my spirit too badly so I quit and tried a fun idea on a Nuzlocke... lost interest, and then I wanted a shiny soft reset so I have my OmegaRuby indefinitely... at a starter selection screen... for years...

So all of the below will be Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald!

Sapphire: Starting with my most precious and longest played single game, Trainer May has well over 400 hours of gameplay alone. Her team was a Swampert “Kudmip”, Plusle “Pro-Bunny”, Mightyena “Maxi” (named after my Uncle’s dog which looked just like Mightyena!!), Latias “Nemo” (NOT named after Finding Nemo...), Rayquaza “Rayza”, Kyogre “HydroKing”, and Banette “Salonde”... not the best at naming at 12 years old. Special shoutout to my shiny Dodrio “Takisho” I found and CAUGHT in the Safari Zone!

Ruby: I reset and replayed this game a lot so I’ll be brief. I wanted to replay but not sacrifice May’s file in Sapphire so I used Ruby and decided I would do a real playthrough with 1 of EVERY evolutionary family in Hoenn. I didn’t fully succeed my plans but I had a very fun time trying to use new Pokemon I passed over in runs usually, using naming themes, and trying to still make a successful balanced team. OT Allen (name theme -as suffix for male gender Pokes, -y suffix for female gender): Trapinch “Flygas”, Wailmer “Orby”, Lileep “Cradas”, Torkoal “Torgas”, Manectric “Trixy”, Skarmory “Skartas” (aborted run- Trapinch is waayyy hard to level naturally in playthrough, waiting for EQ is suffering) OT Amy (suffic ends in -um): Marshtomp “Kippum”, Grumpig “Pokkum”, Spinda “Spindum”, Magneton “Magnum”, Nuzleaf “Seedum”, Magcargo “Mamum” (aborted run- I think... I lost interest) OT RW (based on RP characters with NeoYami): Blaziken “Ybaso”, Manectric “Taishi”, Flygon “Aisu”, Shedinja “Yakubi”, Absol “Amazora”, and Golduck “Atariya”. Completed run and damn is Shedinja hard to use in a playthrough... OT Baku (uh... special spelling?): Sceptile “Draihkoe”, Minun “Electrolyt”, Hariyama “Kinaco”, Cradily “Rootnut” I think this was my first playthrough of Ruby! No idea why I only had 4 Pokes transferred.

Emerald: 1 playthrough because why abort when I have an AWESOME Battle Frontier to challenge??? I based this really blatantly on SD Gundam Force... Trainer Shuten (my female Shute) using Aggron “Captain”, Gardevoir “Zero”, Ninetails “Bakunetsu”, Raichu “Xoki” (an old nickname I tried once), Swampert “Amakaze” (based on a fic I was writing prior to Season 2, establishing the history of Ark), and Breloom “Haro”. This was a good damn team and we earned 2 frontier emblems! My favorite to challenge was Spencer but Lucy was great to beat. Special shoutout Pokemon: Flygon “Fijikaru” and Trapinch “Tokudan” who I somehow leveled both to 70.

Sinnoh

My least favorite games next to B2/W2 but Platinum grew on me. Weirdly, I’m VERY attached to my team from this gen but this was my first “full internet experience” gen so I feel... that actually soured the experience, and enhanced other elements. Eh.

Pearl: My main playthrough as... Shanon! Yes, the same one from HG. I loved this team so much for it’s weird dynamic “different” feel and how well they did, I even made an ID for them. I should keep doing that... These names were different from normal RP Shanon in that they were combining Japanese words with parts of their name. Girafarig "Kirinfarig", Garchomp "Kurauchomp", Mismagius "Yumegius", Floatzel "Itazel", Crobat "Shikobat", and Luxray "Hikaray". Notice no starter? Nope. I refused to use a starter for my main play of DPPt! Partly cause I didn't like any of the options at the time of starting too... As usual with Shanon, some interesting PC Poke names: Porygon “Rongopy”, Rotom “Motor”, and the Raichu “Rinku” and “Rayna”.

Diamond: I had 2 playthroughs. The first I had planned the team meticulously much like the aborted run of FireRed, except I had eggs made and sent over so I could specifically use this team. This was under Trainer Anrui (based on an OC). Typohlosion “Kasaiquil”, Aron “Eteron”, Bronzong “Douzong”, Murkrow “Kagerow”, Shiny Umbeon I won in a giveaway as an Eevee I had named “Kurokon”, and Empoleon “Awaleon”. Trainer Adelais was made in a similar hope I could have more fun like I did in Ruby with using Pokes I don’t like as much to explore- naming themed to mundane color names based on the Pokemon’s color and dual meaning! Pikachu “Straw”, Grotle “Thicket”, Lopunny “Pecan”, Vespiquen “Honey”, Cranidos “Umber”, and Whiscash “Phthalo”. This was an aborted run.

I don’t even... know if I transferred my Platinum team... or remember it for the life of me. ._. I just know I have never used Infernape. Hiss.

Unova

Ahhh the “Dresca” years, where I eventually reconnect with my girlfriend. I had the full internet at my disposal at this time so instead of busying myself with video games as an adult, I spent my time better (...rping Pokemon instead lol).

White (Japanese): I was SO EXCITED for this game, I actually imported my first and only import! After this gen, they stopped releasing in Japan before America, lucky for me, so for the first main series game I was aware of before release, and I was deeply involved in the community before release, importing was a big deal to me and my first exposure to Gen5 involved a lot of new firsts! It was really challenging to play a foreign language, luckily my deep grasp of Pokemon mechanics is really what saved my bacon but the biggest challenge was figuring out which moves were going to be offense ones “I could use” when a Pokemon was prompting to learn a new mystery move. Trainer DC used a Victini, Emolga “Momo”, Excadrill “Star”, Serperior “Suzy”, Bisharp “Saga”, and a Scrafty. Another new first: having a legendary to grow on my team before even the 2nd gym battle. Fuckin Nice™

Black: I decided to break conventional wisdom and go for an an all-steel type team for my first run through in English Black, finally coming to America. Luckily, Gen5 gave me lots of options! Trainer Olivier (named after another admired OC in our group, Oliver), used Excadrill “Douglas” (based on my OC), Klingklang “Kog” (based on coco’s OC), Bisharp “Ryohei” (brother to Saga- my OC- but played by vern) which I bred METICULOUSLY to get defiant nature and boy leveling him in 1st/2nd gym is h a r d, Ferrothorn “Seth” (based on another’s OC) who was actually caught and transferred from White(JP) so he leveled way faster than everyone else- that crusty bastard, Durant “Anthony” (based on my OC), and... last but not least, the namesake, Cobalion “Oliver”. Using an all-steel team on my “first” playthrough (in English) was super challenging but super fun too! I remember how exciting it was to finally read and understand what was happening. Having my Unova experience broken into “being impressed by the changes to rendered spriting and beautiul design” game and then“following the plot and the emotional turmoil” game, two separate experiences that would normally make a whole. Could anything be more fitting to Black and White? This was easily my 2nd all time fav region/game before... Sun and Moon ruined my life... Special shoutout Pokemon: Dewott “Honda” who saved my butt the first 2 gyms as I struggled with Seth and Ryohei, and Kangaskhan “Gambit” (yep, like Shanon’s), Scizor “Archimonde” (my OC), and Musharna “Chevy” for being my kick-ass team for the Battle Tower stuff!

White 2: All aboard the train to Disappointment City! It’s not worth the discussion but I got so pissed at this game I actually refused to pursue it to the end rather than just abandoned the game. But my team I still loved, I decided the naming theme would be to constellations. Trainer Cavoli used Samurott “Orion”, Lucario “Pyxis”, Magnezone “Fornax”, Volcarona, Flygon “Circinus”, and Espeon “Caelum”.

Kalos

Y: Kalos had SO MANY great options, and with newer advances in easy leveling, this was my first success at raising more than 6 Pokemon through my normal playthrough without prior planning. My team was massive and swapping them around at whim was quite fun! I don’t really get the Kalos hate, I thought the game was pretty solid and damn it WAS enough with all the new features. Maybe less “X/Y” megas and less pandering to Genwunners woulda been nice tho. Trainer Reina had a naming style based on my interest in Transformers at the time! Chestnaught “Rumbleside”, Blastoise “Breakdown”, Aegislash “Daggerback”, Raichu “Thundersound”, Salamence “Predaking”, Pangoro “Starburst”, MeowsticM “Pathwind”, Heliolisk “Nitrospark”, Aurorus “Carbyte”, Snorlax “Metroplex” (the hardest of all of them to keep up to level), and Talonflame “Starscream”.

X: ...actually I never finished my X run. Why do I buy games I don’t play? It is a mystery. Anyway, shoutout to my current unfinished run of it, where I am playing as Trainer Yaku and have a shiny Froakie I painstakingly bred and hatched at the dentist’s office.

Alola

Here we are present day up to date!

Moon: Trainer Méta because I had a flash interest in Meta Knight just before picking up my new game, used Decidueye “Treize”, A.Persian “Nyasume”, Minior “Popolohua”, Ribombee “Flutter”, A.Raichu “Kahula”, and A.Sandslash “Haukoa”! Honestly all the Pokemon I SUPER wanted on this team were the problem children in obtaining but I got em anyway! Persian and Ribombee I NEVER expected to keep but... I couldn’t take them off, they were too strong a force. Special shoutout to Slowbro “Dopey” and Toucannon “Pinii” of whom I never imagined I would continue to train from Melemele island on the side. RIP Salandit “Nikelas” my male Salandit that took forever to even find and then forever to train only to learn males don’t evolve. :) :) :)

Sun: Haven’t finished 1 playthrough yet but I did loan it to a coworker to try and get her to play. She started with Litten!

I might try Primarina in USUM... who know!
