Poocheyena, definitely. To this day one of my closest friends is my Mightyena I caught as my first Pokémon back when I was much younger and didn't have any Pokémon of my own yet.

Chat! Trying to get my mind off of... some recent stuff. Tell me what your favorite BIG QUOTES "regular" Pokémon is. No fully evolved guys, no well known professor given starter Pokémon, no legendaries, that kinda stuff.

I personally think Sandile are really neat. and Hatenna!

Hoenn has ferries on a good day. On a bad day if you don't have a pokemon who knows surf you best hope you're a stronger swimmer than the ferry. (You're not, please don't make someone come save you because you thought you were better than a storm.)

I like battling, so I took the Hoenn and Unova gym challenges. Most of my battles are in large stadiums now, but that's more a function of needing to make money in some way. It's honestly just for fun, at the end of the day.

People taking on the pokemon league in galar: how.

their gyms are like. Entire stadiums. how do you deal with THAT many people watching.

like i think i would actually die

It only counts if they're a fighting type gym leader.

Chat if a challenger just straight up decks the gym leader with an absolute haymaker right to the temple, should that be classed as a victory? The refs are arguing because technically the leader is unable to battle (being unconscious and all), but also their pokemon still are able to battle. Personally I think it should depend on gym leader. If punching that specific leader takes some serious guts or if it would make the crowd feel a collective sense of relief then I think they should get the badge.

You'll get it sooner or later, just takes practice. Worst case, you can always take a break for a day or two to train some on victory road. Just don't give up here, you're practically at the end.

it's day ????? of loosing to the elite four, starting to doubt I have free will.

hows everyone else going.

Reblog this if you’re okay with people sending unexpected IC asks to your muse at any time! No meme prompts needed!

I wouldn't say exactly that. My aunt asked me and I knew that I would regret saying no more than I would be troubled saying yes, if that makes sense. If I'd said no I'd be bothered about it the rest of my life thinking I should have said yes, and I don't want to live like that.

And I guess that makes sense, but even so, that means waiting for a spot as a gym leader or something similar to open up, which isn't terribly common. I've also noticed this sort of... stigma, I guess, around dark type gym leaders in particular. Galar is the only region I can think of off the top of my head with a dark type leader, everywhere else seems to avoid them.

Alright friends, I think we're starting to find our rhythm here. Time for some more interview prep! Remember - the stock answers provided are just a bunch of answers that I hear most commonly. I always include in my stock answers one that perfectly exemplifies the best way to respond. I also include the most common answers that result either in an auto-fail, or a 0 point response. You're absolutely free to provide more nuance in the reblogs, tags, or my askbox if you don't have a blog. I won't respond immediately with the full summary of how you did (that I will provide when the poll closes), but I may ask prodding questions to try to lead you to a better response.

Lastly - remember this is practice for an assessment! Don't respond the way you would in a casual conversation, respond how you would if a near stranger was interviewing you for a job. There's also a few extra notes about this one I'm gonna put under a readmore to stop this post from getting too long.

*I always preface this question by reminding candidates that they do not need to delve into their personal lives. They do not always listen.

**You can take this as having discussed the decision with whomever you want, I just included friends and teachers because there is a strict character limit on these and those are the two most common answers.

Have at her, pals!

I wouldn't say there was much how, really. I just said yes. I guess I thought about my own experience taking the Hoenn and Unova gym challenges. She grew up in a pretty small town, even for Hoenn's standards, so she's always been pretty lonely. There wasn't anyone her age taking the gym challenge like I had my first time. I suppose I didn't want her to be alone.

Thank you, I really appreciate it, but it's almost a waiting game at this point. I'm from the Hoenn and Unova regions, so I have the best shot of joining the elite four there. But between Sydney and Grimsley, they've both got a dark type trainer covered. Other regions would be nice, but tend to go with locals for their elite four members.

Helping my cousin with her gym challenge. It kinda meant putting my life on hold more or less for the last few months, re-tracing the Hoenn gym challenge at my aunt's request as her rival. I'm not sure I'd say I was the best rival for her, a friend who was closer to her age probably would have been better, but I had fun. I've been pretty locked in with my team for a while, so they weren't the most appropriate to battle against a new trainer with, so I had to train a new wild caught pokemon. I've not done that in a few years at this point, it was a fun change of pace from my usual battle training.

It was great when she finally made it to Ever Grande City though. We finally got to battle with me going almost all-out. I'd seen all the hard work she'd put in planning out strategies against my usual team, I didn't want to invalidate all of them even if I had seen them before and knew how to beat them. She was so excited when she won. It took her a few more days to manage to get all the way through the league challenge after that but I can't forget the look on her face when she finally finished her gym challenge. I've been trying to become a member of the elite four for awhile at this point, and it was nice taking a break from trying so hard, especially doing something that almost felt like being in the elite four for a brief moment.

//OOC: interest check: rotoblr battle tournament event... thing

(Basically the same as that from @harteofthehart-ayyy . Might turn into a co-run event/blog/something lol)

Im short: I've seen very little actual Pokémon-battle content on rotomblr despite almost everyone being a trainer or having trainer experience.

So i though maybe a blog organising in-universe tournaments or battles in general could help? Basically, there'd be tournaments all around the poke-world and characters can participate and battle and win (or lose). The goal is to make posts about cool pokemon battles, not necessarily to play pvp battles on showdown (though you can do that as well).

Would you be interested in general?

Please reblog to reach more people :>

My Hydreigon has used mine as a chew toy before and there are barely any teeth marks. I think you could seriously injure someone with this thing if you threw it hard enough.

fun fact: the pokenav is the most weather resilient piece of consumer technology ever designed because it was designed in hoenn and hoenn is just Like That. genuinely think there is no amount of water that could break this thing.

CAN I JUST SAY, PLEASE DO NOT JUST SHOW A SEAMSTRESS A PICTURE OF A POKEMON AND SAY "Oh yes well I just want to match the vibe" AND GIVE NO OTHER DETAILS!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN????????

[elite-four-wannabe]

I did it by wrestling a wild pokemon until it was weak enough I could capture it. Yes I do still have the scar from where I got bit. Mightyena is still my best friend though. However I would not recommend this.

You're allowed to not like people sometimes. You don't like everyone you meet offline, here shouldn't be different. Just don't be weird about it. Be respectful, be nice, just don't be friends.

does- not liking people on this website make me a bad person? they haven't done anything wrong- well. mm. I just - don't like people sometimes.
