things that ARE appropriate during pride month: - taking your (crowd-safe) pokémon to pride - giving your pokémon flag accessories or using non-toxic dye - destroy transphobe with hyper beam

things that AREN'T appropriate during pride month: - recruiting the leaders of several terrorist organizations from alternate timelines where they've killed millions of people and harnessing the power of their various legendary pokémon to conquer all of reality

sick and tired of seeing these ace trainers brag about their super smart badass level 100 shiny mons.

This is Sol. She is a fucking idiot. She regularly forgets that she is a flying type and sits at the bottom of cabinets n such crying cause she doesn't know how to get up. I would die for her.

You can pry the terminology 'evil team' from my cold dead hands, 'ts funny as hell to call them that

Yeah i mean i guess i have an "ace" but just bc Boom is both my oldest pokémon and the only one who went through my whole battle phase some years ago. And like, i dont even battle anymore (frequentely i mean, i will still beat anyone making it for the gyms out of tradition) so who cares?

If you are out there battling serious, balance your team. Ace pkmn are cool gimicks for tv shows but super lame irl

i feel like im probably going to get like 40 notifs abt this but thats ok

the concept of ace pokemon is legitimately stupid to me. like im being frfr abt this i think having one of your pokemon be ur 'ace' pokemon is highkey dumb. like shouldnt ur pride as a trainer be that all ur pokemon are good? are you really that good at battling if ur not working with ur ENTIRE team to take down an opponent? i get it if you have only like one pokemon that battles but if ur a competitive trainer with a fully trained competitive team why is your joy and pride as a trainer a SINGLE pokemon? you should have synergy with your ENTIRE team, you and ALL your pokemon should be pushing each other to improve. like. you have an entire team for a reason right? you caught all your pokemon for a reason right? you value your entire team equally right? they're all ur trusted partners whom you care for and hold a mutual respect with?

like if im being completely honest i think if you have a member of your team you consider your 'ace' you're tacky and cringe (in the bad way <3) and probably not as good of a trainer as you think you are

you guys NEED to stop using emotional support pokemon and service pokemon interchangeably BECAUSE THEY ARE DIFFERENT THINGS OH MY GOD

a service pokemon can be brought into public places like stores, schools, and restaurants that may otherwise disallow pokemon to run free. an emotional support pokemon is not really legally recognized. you dont have to register anything as an esp or get any training. an esp is not legally a service pokemon. THERE ARE psychiatric support pokemon but theyre technically considered service pokemon and do need training and to be registered.

the only requirement for an emotional support pokemon is for it to comfort you and for you to want it to be your emotional support pokemon. for a service pokemon a doctor or psychiatrist or therapist or like literally whatever needs to agree you need that aid, it needs to have formal training, and it needs to be legally recognized for it to be allowed to be brought with you in public.

please for the love of arc stop using the terms interchangeably because theyre different things with different laws surrounding them in different regions

Hey Hoenn isnt that bad if you ignore the unstable weather, the accelerationists, the ecofacists and - you know what you might be right

my dash is entirely my friends being drunk and sad and then a team magma confession blog that is already going dowhill. My messages are even more of a mess but 'm not getting into that.

It's really funny when you beat a ranger in a battle and they hand you like 2 pecha berries and explain what they do.

Like either they're not paying you enough to cough up what you owe for a battle YOU CHALLENGED ME TO, or you're just being cheap and idk what one I hope it is.

i was playing pokemon blue on stream earlier at 350% speed and i got to thinking

what if the reason nobody in the pokemon world has any good teams is because its considered a dick move to have a proper team comp

like culturally everyone is like “haha pick the pokemon you want! if you’re happy with three geodudes, thats you and your life!” and then you’re supposed to just have a friendly battle with any other pokemon trainers and whatever pokemon they just happen to have

like the average trainer is probably just walking around with a growlithe because that’s their pet, or a hiker has three geodudes because the geodudes help him with hiking. and if this pet owner and geodude hiker meet, you’re supposed to have a friendly battle but nothing too serious

now imagine the 10 year old kid that has six pokeballs on their belt comes up. you’re like “haha, we’ll have a friendly battle!” and you throw out your geodude 

and they throw out a fucking gyarados, and it one-shots your geodude 

and then you throw out your pidgey you have because the pidgey helps you navigate mountains because you’re a hiker

and then electricity crackles around the gyarados and a thunderbolt flies off of this giant dragon and evaporates your pidgey 

so you’re down to your last pokemon. you tell them you’re gonna send out your bulbasaur. the ten year old is like “oh okay in that case i’m gonna pull out my vulpix.” like not only is this kid walking around with an amped-up super dragon, but theyve also got multiple pokemon specifically for making type advantage counter-picks?

this kid’s a fucking asshole! really, kid? what are you trying to prove here? this is a friendly match between strangers for fun! why are you composing real-ass competitive teams? what a fucker!

No Low Kick?

Going through the moves list made a compilation of moves I can use, and do frequently.

Like why the fuck would you hoard pokémon? If you are trying to complete the Pokedex (pointless) you could just catch and release, no need to keep them

thoughts on leaving pokemon in the PC long term?

Please for the love of Arceus don't do this

Part of my training had been to work with pokemon who are recovering from long term PC storage and. It is really rough. Probably one of my toughest gigs

Pokemon will likely develop behavioural issues if kept in a PC for longer than a week. If a pokemon is not healed properly before being kept in a PC when it comes out it will be around 10 times worse.

If you need to not look after your pokemon for a while, hire a pokesitter or invest in a daycare.

Also DO NOT CATCH POKEMON IF YOU CAN NOT CARE FOR THEM.

This is the most common reason we see long term PC storage, and it's genuinely heartbreaking that pokemon are just caught like novelties and then never taken out of the PC again. Disgusting.
