There’s this stereotype that shiny pokemon are fussy and pampered and generally weaker bc they’re rather babied and adored. And while I understand where that assumption comes from (I’ve seen how some of you guys treat your shinies don’t even lie). I feel like people forget why most shinies are so incredibly rare.
Like, depending on their coloration it wildly decreases their survival rate in the wild. There’s gonna be a difference in living as a blue Vaporeon or a bright pink one, y’know? Makes them struggle to blend in with their environments which, depending on if they’re carnivorous, can make hunting harder, sometimes the pokemon gets rejected from their packs/herds/flocks, they can struggle to get a mate, and makes them an easy target for predators.
So like when you see a shiny in the wild you gotta just stand back and bask in the rarity of it not just for being rare genetically, but the sheer amount of willpower and strength (or luck) that its had to make it this far. That’s pretty badass.
named my character autism. idk why it was funny ig
currently have a team of
Sun the Sandshrew
Dune2 the Bellsprout (if you know YOU KNOW)
Topaz the Mareep
Magpi the Pidgey (he was going to be Magpie but I accidentally deleted the e)
and Robin the Quilava
and unnamed egg that I got given, I have never played HeartGold before so uhm yeah. I don't really know what's going on there. But hey Quilava guys i love the Cyndaquil line.
Is this a good team? idk i'm just using Pokémon i like tbh while trying to keep it decently diverse...
Thought I would submit this for hero and partner week on here too ! I tried to make this look like the style of the game’s menu illustrations but here is my hero and partner pkmn in Explorers of Sky
xy was my first game and i had a 6 year long obsession with it and i had a pink pachirisu and i had a huge crush on valerie and shauna and that one pathetic boy and my dad bought it off ebay and and
my neighbor breeds foongus and while i disagree morally with it that still doesn't stop me from periodically stealing some and leaving those bad boys in pokeball aisles around the region
team skull ass shenanigans
if a string of people mysteriously end up in the hospital after getting stunsporred, I’m pointing Officer Jenny in your direction 🤨
GUYS GUYS GUYS YOU KNOW THE ULTIMATE WEAPON IN X AND Y DO YOU THINK THAT IT HIT PALDEA AND MADE AREA ZERO IN SCARLET AND VIOLET???????
LIKE WE DONT KNOW WHERE IT HIT RIGHT?? BUT IT CLEARLY DIDN'T HIT KALOS CAUSE DID KALOS HAVE A GIANT CRATER ANYWHERE WHICH WOULD'VE BEEN CAUSED BY SUCH A WEAPON???
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT KALOS IS BASED ON FRANCE AND YOU KNOW WHAT IS NEAR FRANCE!!! SPAIN, WHICH IS WHAT PALDEA IS BASED ON!!!!
SO WHAT IF THE WEAPON HIT PALDEA AND MADE THE CRATER WHICH WOULD BECOME AREA ZERO!!!!
AND I MEAN PALDEA HAD THAT LORE ABOUT LIKE AN EVIL KING RIGHT??? YOU KNOW WHAT EVIL KINGS DO WAR!!!! LIKE THE ONE IS AZ'S FLASHBACK!!! IT WAS VERY OBVIOUSLY DONE BY A CLOSE REGION BECAUSE WE SEE THE BATTLES!!!!
KALOS AND PALDEA WERE AT WAR WITH EACH OTHER!!! AND AZ FIRED THE ULTIMATE WEAPON AT PALDEA TO END THE WAR!!!!
NO WONDER AREA ZERO IS FUCKED UP!!!
AND WITH THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF Z-A IT FEELS EVEN MORE SET IN STONE
I FOUND THE PUZZLE PIECES. I HAVE PUT THEM TOGETHER!!!! THE PICTURE IS BECOMING CLEAR!!!!
recently I discovered that Kawayoo, one of my all-time favorite Pokemon TCG artists, has some art of Loudred floating around and it's the best thing I've ever seen
