*finger guns* How did you design Piki?

oh, thats a fun question! though i dont have much of an answer hahahah. he’s actually one of a pair of pokemon i drew some time ago, revamped. character design is pretty fun for me- its like a puzzle. usually i start with the personality and shape a design around it, but this time i did the opposite- i basically pulled up a rockruff and fiddled with it - like altering the colors to be more pinkish than brown- until piki came around. adding things like scars and freckles makes a character more interesting, too. plus its more fun to draw :3

Crasckship for Shay Shay and Yiska ((i still remember the first time we interacted -sob-))

((Welp I didn’t reblog to do crack babus, but why not?))

Look at that pretty girl Bluma, cover in pretty green fur with a pretty flower. Even thou the Mew and Shaymin gene were stronger on this on. ^^

Legendary and Mythical Pokemon You Could Keep in An Apartment

Mewtwo - if a seven-foot person could comfortably live in your apartment, so could a Mewtwo. Their needs for space and environment are minimal, and they often appreciate being treated like a human. Thus, space-wise, it's not dissimilar to preparing for an extra human housemate. It's a shame so few Mewtwo exist, they're probably the Legendary with the smallest barrier to entry regarding keeping them.

Mew - I say this with a grain of salt. Mew need a LOT of enrichment and a lot of play, but they're small enough that it's possible to keep them in a small space. Just be mindful of their needs and their over-the-top nature. Definitely bring them outside!

Celebi - Again, they're small, but again, a grain of salt should be applied. They feel most comfortable with a lot of plant life, but like Mew, they don't need a large space. Unlike Mew, they sometimes feel uncomfortable in large home spaces, but also like Mew, they should be brought outdoors often.

Latias - Latias can technically be kept in an apartment, but they'll probably be uncomfortable unless they're let outside very often. But if your apartment is spacious enough for Latias to maneuver, they should be fine. Latios are larger, and therefore this probably won't work for them.

Kyogre - For the record, you cannot keep a Kyogre out and about in an apartment...but the same is true of a house. If you have good access to a body of water they can roam in, an apartment has no advantage over a house for keeping a Kyogre.

Jirachi - Small, don't need a ton of enrichment as long as you spend time with them; they're very relaxed. It's fine to have one in a small space.

Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf - As above with Jirachi, they can be kept in a small space. However, they need a small space to hide in that's their own and private.

Cresselia - They're very sedentary, a daily walk and some Psychic enrichment will fulfill their needs and they don't need a ton of space.

Manaphy - As long as they have access to water and the opportunity to swim some long distances, they're fine without a ton of space. If you have a tub in your apartment that Manaphy can hang out in, it'll be happy.

Darkrai - I've discussed them before, but Darkrai are quite comfortable in small spaces as long as they have a space that they can hide and relax in, someplace dark and comfortable.

Shaymin - Shaymin like plants, but even a window garden and some indoor plants will keep them happy. With the ability to fly around in Sky Form and a very relaxed nature in Land Form, it's not too hard to keep them content in an apartment.

Victini - Like Mew, they're over the top with energy, and destructive at times - but if you can keep up with them, space isn't an issue.

Meloetta - Like Mewtwo, space-wise it's like having an extra person in the home. Unlike Mewtwo, this extra person is on average two feet tall.

Hoopa - The Unbound form is an issue, but Bound Hoopa - while mischievous and destructive - is a Pokemon that doesn't need a ton of space.

Cosmog/Cosmoem - You absolutely cannot keep a Solgaleo or Lunala in an apartment. Don't try. However, their pre-evolved forms are fine in confined spaces, and even enjoy them.

Marshadow - As long as they have shadows to hide in, they're pretty happy little creatures. Friendly, too. They'll need a good amount of enrichment, and they'll probably want to play with the rest of your team a lot, but they're nice enough.

Magearna - As long as they receive appropriate affection and time, they're fine in a small space.

Honorable Mentions:

Diancie - They're troublesome for an apartment due to their accidental destructiveness and need for cave access and rock features. Best kept in a house with a rocky yard.

Zeraora - They're too active to be kept in an apartment for the most part due to their active nature, need for privacy, and need to climb, but a Trainer willing to go through a lot of trouble probably could.

How about a fusion with Shortcake (sometimes-strawberry-shaymin)? :D

[silverjirachi]

are you still doing the pokemon ask game? if so, what about pokedex?

Pokédex: Your perfect/favorite team

My favorite team I ever had was in Gen 4 and I referred to them as my “dream team” because, like i said, we kicked ass daily on the playground at the ymca.

It was Milotic, Togekiss, Glaceon, Flygon, Ninetales, Spiritomb

I also used Shaymin but switched it and sometimes the Flygon out for other pokemon when I didnt want to battle with a legendary especially since I got Shaymin through a hack. so I’d switch it out with Breloom, Weavile, or Froslass. I seem to really like ghost and ice types.

Now that Gen 4 is next in line for remakes I’m excited to rebuild this team and add some new babies to the lineup as well.

Don’t mind me, just have had a lot of thoughts on the new Pokemon game so imma write them down. There’s been a lot of posts and videos on what people wanna see or don’t wanna see in the new game too and I wanna give my own two cents to no one in particular.

So first of all graphics. I hear a lot of shit on that. Personally I don’t really have all that many expectations? Like yeah it’s gonna be a Switch game, the quality could possibly be better than we’ve seen. But also did people look over that ‘game footage not final’? Things may still improve and be further optimized. More than that, I love the artstyle atleast? Everything looks so colorful and vibrant and alive and goooood ;w; It sure got my attention. I can’t wait to see all the new areas on my big tv <3

Pokemon popping up and roaming vs random encounters: On one hand I love how lively everything looks with pokemon showing up in the overworld, on the other hand I love the random encounters? I personally liked hunting down specific pokemon, not knowing what I would encounter. I feel like this is also more fun when you’re doing a Nuzlocke; You can’t ‘cheat’ and select a pokemon from those that are currently roaming with random encounters. Aside from that, people mentioned that the roaming aspect made areas look more vacant instead because a lot of open space is needed for bigger pokemon roaming. And finally, it makes the surprise way more fun if a shiny shows up in a random encounter, instead of roaming between the rest of the ‘mon?

Pokemon following you/walking with you: PLS PLS PLS bring this back and expand on it, for all pokemon. Also the option to select which partymember you want to walk with. That was one thing that bummed me out in HeartGold/SoulSilver. If I wanted to walk with my fave, I also needed to have it in the front of the party and throw it out in battle, even in areas where it was at a disadvantage due to type or level. And sometimes I had a pokemon in front for the sake of progression but I didnt necessarily want to walk with it, but there was no option to turn walking off in HG/SS. I believe they did add these options in Let’s Go Pikachu/Eevee, but I havent played these games so I don’t know for sure what the options are. I kinda also want to have the option to pick whether I will walk with a ride pokemon or actually ride it? Like, it was hella cool that you could ride arcanine, persian, haunter or snorlax, etc. But what if I wanted it to just follow me? :/ What I also want back is the national dex once you completed the main story. Let most of the pokemon which first appear be gen 8, and after you beat the main game, pokemon from other generations show up more and you can catch new pokemon that were previously unavailable. I hated how in SuMo, I couldnt see a pokemon’s national dex number, and couldnt get any data on it if it wasnt native to Alola. 

Also this is gonna sound surprising coming from a shiny hunter, but I want the shiny charm to be a reward for filling the entire national dex again (minus mythicals/events), and make the shiny rate 1/8192 again instead of 1/4091. As much as I love my shinies, I kinda feel like they’re becoming a really common thing and way too easy to obtain? I do like there being methods to find shinies easier, such as Masuda breeding, chain-fishing, SOS-chaining, etc, but make it atleast a little bit harder than it currently is, to make all that effort worth it.

Compatibility with pokebank/the 3DS titles!! I want to transfer all my precious bbies I caught over the years to come join me in the next adventure. That would make it even more awesome if walking pokemon also returns; I can walk with my faves then, not just the pokemon available in Sword/Shield. Also Cloud compatibility. I know Nintendo is afraid of people abusing Cloud to edit save files and I can see them not adding cloud for Pokemon to prevent peeps from somehow cloning or editing pokemons, but on the other hand... Right now, I have ALL my rare, valuable pokemon stored on a Ultra Sun cartridge. Every super rare shiny legendary I spent MONTHS on to encounter, every event pokemon from events that will never happen again, and every pokemon that has nostalgic value to me. If that game cartridge breaks, they’re all gone. If Cloud storage would be a thing for pokemon, I’d have a lot less anxiety about gathering all my babies on a single game with the risk of losing ALL OF THEM. Besides, I pay for online service and cloud, and thusfar havent been able to use the feature for my games :/

And definitely compatibility with pro controller. I really do not like the feel of the joycons, nor the pokeball plus, especially not after playing for a few hours, so I’m really hoping we’ll be able to use the pro controller. Considering we seem to be getting the old battle system back instead of Let’s Go’s, I don’t see why they shouldn’t add pro controller compatibility. Besides, I spent a lot of money on this thing, lemme use it >:v

Customization. The new trainers look absolutely adorable, but being able to make your trainer fit your style more is still great and makes things more personal. On one hand I’d love even more options for customization than in SuMo, on the other hand I fear I will never even get anywhere cause I’ll be spending hours mixing and matching outfits :’D I am not at all fashionable irl, but my characters in games have to look tip top. Most importantly, I want gender-neutral stuff!! As in, the option to wear clothes or hairstyles regardless of the gender you picked at the beginning. Give me a girl and the female pronouns, but the option to get the haircut that the boys get and that flannel he wears. For example.

Minigames! Not everyone is a fan of them, but personally I love things like Contests, PokeAthlon, the Underground, Missions in the Festival Plaza, etc. Especially multiplayer stuff. Give me other stuff to do besides battling. And on that note give me fun multiplayer features; besides trading and battling! The feature where you can call for another trainer in Let’s Go seemed fun to me. Being able to connect with other players and joining them in your game to do stuff together. Like how you can invite people to your town in Animal Crossing, go to the island and take on island challenges from Tortimer.

Story-wise, it would be great to have a big long story, also post-game, which doesn’t end too soon, but with the option to skip cutscenes if you so please, and more importantly, have the freedom to also explore. In Sun/Moon, you were constantly forced to go to a very specific location, everything else was blocked, and you had a cutscene every new area. Like, it was all very linear. I love the older games in that regard, where there is a story, but you figure out yourself how to progress without NPCs constantly telling you where to go and what to do. I always have this issue where after I’m done with the story, I’m kind of... lost on what to do next, so personally I love a long story to keep me busy. Give me a serious threat for the antagonists. Team Skull was lovely and I enjoyed their antics, but I want to feel like I’m saving the Galar region or even bigger, rather than just stomping on some bullies, PETA (Plasma) or fashion disasters (Flare). Also gimme an asshole rival. Lately we’ve had a bunch of precious bbies who must be protected, now bring back a rival who deserves an asswhooping and had it coming. :v As for the new gyms with gym masters instead of leaders, I have no opinion yet. I like the good ol’ themed gyms, I liked the trials. The arena thing looks pretty neat thusfar, but there’s not enough info yet for me to have much of an opinion now. I heard a rumor that this game will also have missions you can do to earn rewards & brownie points, and that would be really cool. I always really love missions in RPGs. I’m just hoping that there will be like, a combination of one-time missions AND daily missions so you don’t run out of things to do eventually after completing a whole list.

I’m also hoping that any potential mythical pokemon will come in the form of missions. The whole serial codes giveaways suck. Just entering a code for some random delivery man to appear in the pokemon center, just casually handing you a super rare mythical pokemon like it’s nothing is just bs. Give me new story, sidequests or missions DLC for a mythical pokemon instead. Like Celebi in Crystal + HG/SS, Mew in Emerald, Shaymin and Darkrai in Platinum, and then expand the missions even more. Pokemon Ranger actually did this really well; you had to go on a mission involving the pokemon before you got it.

Finally, maybe a difficulty setting. People always complain that the games are too easy and that you have to use self-imposed rules such as Nuzlockes to make it remotely challenging. Maybe add a normal or easy mode for young kids just getting into the games, including tutorials such as the trainer school so they can get used to how everything works. Make a harder setting for veterans who like the games to have some challenge but are still in it for the story, and a Very Hard/Ultimate mode for competitive players who know every in and out of the game and are looking for a challenge where you really have to balance your team out and know what you’re doing to progress, and for people who can’t care less about the story elements of the games.

What ever happened to sometimes daily shaymin?

Hi everyone! Long story short, I got a new tablet and couldn't sign back into this blog, so naturally I forgot all about it. Someone on Twitter brang up pokemon ask blogs which made me hunt for the login and I'm here again! Hopefully I can be actually active now since even back in 2017 I wasn't really 'sometimes-daily', haha.
