List of Convolution-Compatible Pokémon

"Convergent Evolution" refers to two unrelated species evolving into similar things with a similar niche. Sharks and orcas are considered an example of this. They have similar roles in their respective ecosystems, but orcas are mammals and sharks are not. In Pokémon, with respect to these all being fictional creatures, this refers to Pokémon with designs based directly off of Pokémon from previous games but are not, in terms of lore, at all related to each other. According to Bulbapedia, these are called "Ecologically-similar Pokémon," but I prefer the term "Convolution." Convolutions differ from Regional Variants in that Regional Variants are Pokémon from other games (technically previous games, just not necessarily in terms of lore, like with Exeggutor) adapted to new environments. Alolan Vulpix became Ice type to adapt to cold environments, for instance, but a Wiglett (an eel) is not a Diglett (a mole) adapted to live in the ocean. Mimikyu is also not a convolution of Pikachu because it is wearing a Pikachu costume, whereas Toedscool is just a fungus that looks astonishingly similar to Tentacool. I've been thinking about Convolutions lately, specifically how to design my own. While I could just make a Pokémon with a close resemblance to an existing one and call it a day, what I find compelling about this is that there are rules to this. Recently, I wrote a post brainstorming a list of possible Eevee Convolution names and, tangently, came to the conclusion that I couldn't do the same for Gardevoir because it doesn't follow the rules. That made me want to make a list of ones that do, which I will be doing in this post. First, let's go over the rules: 1) All Convolutions are in single-evolution lines. In terms of the TCG, this means they are either a "Basic" Pokémon (the one you can get directly from an egg) or its Stage 1 evolution (evolving directly from the "Basic" Pokémon, as opposed to Stage 2, which requires Stage 1). For purposes of this list, I'll include two-evolution lines (up to Stage 2) under the assumption that single-evolution only has to apply to the Convolution line itself. I'd also like to assume the stages have to be consecutive, but not necessarily in the same order (like with Sinistcha), but I'm really only concerned with eligible Pokémon for now and not actually Convoluting them. This, of course, rules out Pokémon that don't evolve because that would be too easy. 2) The English names of the base line have to share the same sound somewhere in their names. This can be as little as a single phoneme, like the "D" in Diglett and Dugtrio, or multiple syllables, like Tentacool and Tentacruel. Nymble and Lokix, for example, would be disqualified. Note that the "Wug" in "Wugtrio" is a word describing worm-like creatures and technically still follows this rule. Notably, the Japanese names for a Pokémon and it's Convolution only have to rhyme. 3) Changing the matching sound in the baseline must also change the meaning of the name. Diglett digs, Wiglett wiggles; Tentacool as tentacles, Toedscool has feet; Polteageist is made of tea, Poltchageist is made of matcha. Magikarp and Gyarados would be disqualified because no matching sounds in their names convey the same meaning. For this list, I will not be concerned with what the names could potentially be changed to, just obvious matches with clear meaning. And now the list: Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, Venusaur Charmander, Charmeleon, Charizard Squirtle, Wartortle Pidgey, Pidgeotto, Pidgeot Rattata, Raticate Spearow, Fearow ("Ow" as in "Crow") Pichu, Pikachu, Raichu ("Chu" is the sound a mouse makes in Japanese) Sandshrew, Sandslash Nidoran, Nidorino/Nidorina, Nidoking/Nidoqueen (Nido=needle) Cleffa, Clefairy, Clefable ("Clef" is a musical note) Igglybuff, Jigglypuff, Wigglytuff Zubat, Golbat, Crobat Paras, Parasect Venonat, Venomoth Psyduck, Golduck Primeape, Annihilape Poliwag, Poliwhirl, Poliwrath/Politoed Abra, Kadabra Machop, Machoke, Machamp Bellsprout, Weepinbell, Victreebel Slowpoke, Slowbro/Slowking Magnemite, Magneton, Magnezone Farfetch'd, Sirfetch'd Doduo, Dodrio ("Dod" refers to the dodo, an extinct bird) Onix, Steelix Exeggcute, Exeggutor Lickitung, Lickilicki Koffing, Wheezing Rhyhorn, Rhydon, Rhyperior Tangela, Tangrowth Horsea, Seadra, Kingdra Staryu, Starmie Scyther, Scizor Mime Jr., Mr. Mime, Mr. Rime Elekid, Electabuzz, Electivire Magby, Magmar, Magmortar Omanyte, Omastar Kabuto, Kabutops Snorlax, Munchlax Dratini, Dragonair, Dragonite Cyndaquil, Quilava Sentret, Furret Ledyba, Ledian Togepi, Togetic, Togekiss ("Toge" is Japanese for "Spike") Natu, Xatu ("Natu" is short for "Nature") Azurill, Marill, Azumarill ("Rill" is a small river or brook) Aipom, Ambipom ("Pom" = "Palm") Sunkern, Sunflora Yanma, Yanmega ("Yanma" is just Japanese for a large dragonfly) Murkrow, Honchkrow Misdreavus, Mismagias Girafarig, Farigiraf Dunsparce, Dudunsparce Gligar, Gliscor Snubbull, Granbull Qwilfish, Overqwil Sneasle, Sneasler Teddiursa, Ursaring, Ursaluna Slugma, Magcargo Swinub, Piloswine, Mamoswine Corsola, Cursola ("Sola" as in "Solar") Mantyke, Mantine Houndour, Houndoom Phanpy, Donphan Poochyena, Mightyena Zigzagoon, Linoone, Obstagoon Lotad, Lombre, Ludicolo ("Lo" from "Lotus") Taillow, Swellow ("Ow" from "Sparrow") Shroomish, Brelloom Slakoth, Vigoroth Nincada, Ninjask, Shedinja Loudred, Exploud Nosepass, Probopass Skitty, Delcatty Aron, Lairon, Aggron Meditite, Medicham Electrike, Manectric Wailmer, Wailord Cacnea, Cacturne Lileep, Cradily Duskull, Dusclops, Dusknoir Chingling, Chimecho Spheal, Sealeo Bagon, Shelgon Metang, Metagross Monferno, Infernape Piplup, Prinplup Starly, Staravia, Staraptor Bidoof, Bibarel Kricketot, Kricketune Luxio, Luxray Cranidos, Rampardos Sheldon, Bastiodon Buizel, Floatzel Cherubi, Cherrim Drifloon, Drifblim Bronzor, Bronzong Gible, Gabite, Garchomp (The G is apparently for "Gobble") Riolu, Lucario Hippopotas, Hippowdon Croagunk, Toxicroak Finneon, Lumineon Snover, Abomasnow Servine, Serperior Tepig, Pignite Oshawott, Dewott, Samurott Munna, Musharna Woobat, Swoobat Drilbur, Excadrill Timburr, Gurdurr, Conkeldurr Palpitoad, Seismitoad Sewaddle, Swadloon Venipede, Whrilipede, Scolipede Cottonee, Whimsicott Petilil, Lilligant Basculin, Basculegion Krokorok, Krookodile Darumaka, Darmanitan Scraggy, Scrafty Archen, Archeops Zorua, Zoroark ("Zorro" is Spanish for "Fox") Mincinno, Cincinno Gothita, Gothorita, Gothitelle Vanillite, Vanillish, Vanilluxe Foongus, Amoonguss Ferroseed, Ferrothorn Klink, Klang, Klinklang Eelektrik, Eelektross Elgyem, Beeheeyem Axew, Fraxure, Haxorus Mienfoo, Mienshao Golett, Golurk Deino, Zweilous, Hydreigon Chespin, Quiladin Froakie, Frogadier Bunnelby, Diggersby Fletchling, Fletchinder Flabébé, Floette, Florges Pancham, Pangoro Clauncher, Clawitzer Helioptile, Heliolisk Tyrunt, Tyrantrum Amaura, Aurorus Goomy, Sliggoo, Goodra Noibat, Noivern Yungoos, Gumshoos Crabrawler, Crabominable Rockruff, Lycanroc Mudbray, Mudsdale Fomantis, Lurantis Salandit, Salazzle Wimpod, Golisopod Sandygast, Palossand Jangmo-o, Hakamo-o, Kommo-o Cosmog, Cosmoem Meltan, Melmetal Grookey, Thwackey Corvisquire, Corviknight Gossifleur, Eldegoss Wooloo, Dubwool Rolycoly, Carkol Applin, Flapple/Appletun/Dipplin Toxel, Toxtricity Hatenna, Hattrem, Hatterene Duraludon, Archaludon Dreepy, Drakloak, Dragapult Kubfu, Urshifu Sprigatito, Floragato Quaxly, Quaxwell, Quaquaval Pawmi, Pawmo, Pawmot Tandemaus, Maushold Smoliv, Dolliv, Arboliva Nacli, Naclstack, Garganacl Wattrel, Kilowattrel Maschiff, Mabostiff Bramblin, Brambleghast Tinkatink, Tinkatuff, Tinkaton Finizen, Palafin Varoom, Revavroom Glimmet, Glimmora Cetoddle, Cetitan Gimmighoul, Gholdengo

ranking every pokemon on how likely i would be to keep one as a pet irl

first (you’re here) | next

things i will be taking into account: friendliness, size, temperament, danger of keeping it, how much i like the pokémon

NOTE: this is based on the real world, not the pokémon world. i’m also excluding hisuian forms/ pokémon because they’re not alive anymore.

bulbasaur: 8/10, very cute and friendly but i’m a bit cautious because of the poison. same thing for ivysaur.

venusaur: 7/10, same as its prevos but it’s also a bit big to have as a pet

charmander: 1/10, cute but could easily burn my house down. same thing for charmeleon

charizard: 0/10, it’s a dragon and would set my house ablaze if it got the slightest bit annoyed

squirtle: 6/10, it’s cute. the reason it’s lower than bulbasaur is simply due to preference.

wartortle: 7/10, no reason not to keep it other than the fact that there’s other pokemon i would prefer

blastoise: 2/10, i don’t like it and the water cannons make me nervous.

caterpie: 6/10, i like bugs and it’s quite cute

metapod: 1/10, what does it even do

butterfree: 6/10, it’s a relatively harmless bug

weedle: 5/10, it’s cute but i wouldn’t want to accidentally poison myself with its head spike.

kakuna: 1/10, it just sits there and that’s no fun

beedrill: 2/10, bees are great but a giant one with anger issues would not make for a good pet. they also live in colonies and i’m looking for a singular companion.

pidgey: 3/10, i’ve never been a fan of this pokémon. same thing for pidgeotto and pidgeot.

rattata: 1/10, would bite me and chew up my whole house

alolan rattata: 0/10, would do the same but with malicious intent

raticate: 1/10, just an angrier rattata

alolan raticate: 0/10, just an angrier alolan rattata

spearow: 4/10, famously aggressive but i like it more than pidgey

fearow: 4/10, also quite mean but better than pidgeot

ekans: 2/10, i love reptiles but this thing is aggressive and would kill me

arbok: 1/10, same as ekans but worse

pikachu: 0/10, apparently whenever a pikachu sees something new it shocks it shocks it with electricity and i am not going to deal with that shit

raichu: 0/10, similar reasoning as pikachu, it needs to frequently discharge the electricity from its body and it would destroy everything i own if i didn’t die first

alolan raichu: 9/10, probably won’t burn my house down with electricity. it would be a terrible evolutionary trait to discharge electricity from its tail while it’s surfing on it. it’s also quite cute and friendly.

sandshrew: 2/10, very cute but it would dig so many holes in my house

alolan sandshrew: 8/10, very cute and probably won’t destroy my house

sandslash: 2/10 for the same reason as its pre-evolution

alolan sandslash: 9/10, not only is it less likely to wreck my house it also emits cold air which is beneficial for someone like me who has to survive 120f weathers

nidoran female: 3/10, cute but i would want to pet it and it would poison me. same thing for nidorina, nidoqueen, nidoran male, nidorino, and nidoking.

clefairy: 7/10, apparently a popular pet. not quite my vibe, but it seems friendly.

clefable: 1/10, it’s afraid of humans and i wouldn’t want to force one to live with me unless i evolved my clefairy

vulpix: 1/10, yet another pokémon that would burn my house down. same for ninetales.

alolan vulpix: 9/10, a very cute little friend that will not cause too much destruction.

alolan ninetales: 3/10, similar reasoning to clefable. they want humans to leave them alone and i would do so unless my vulpix evolved.

jigglypuff: 1/10, if the anime is to be believed it wants people’s constant attention and that is something i cannot give

wigglytuff: 10/10, it’s friendly and apparently has incredibly soft fur

zubat: 1/10, i do not like zubat and it seems like it would be a very annoying pet to have. same reason for golbat.

oddish: 2/10, i do not want to deal with its poisonous spores. same for gloom and vileplume.

paras: 0/10, the spores seem annoying and i would feel bad keeping a mindless zombie for a pet. same thing for parasect.

venonat: 4/10, it looks so pettable but doing so would get me poisoned.

venomoth: 3/10, it unsettles me

diglett: 0/10, would so many annoying ass tunnels in my house. same for alolan diglett, dugtrio, and alolan dugtrio.

meowth: 4/10, i love cats and i like meowth but they’re too stuck-up and needy for my tastes.

alolan meowth: 2/10, same as meowth but more of a jerk

galarian meowth: 6/10, seems friendly enough

persian: 1/10, would destroy my furniture if i was a minute late for feeding time

alolan persian: 0/10, ugly and a jerk

psyduck: 2/10, it’s very endearing but it would be a pain in the ass to deal with its headaches

golduck: 4/10, easier to deal with than psyduck but i’d probably need a big pool for it and i am not a pool person

mankey: 1/10, would wreck my house at the slightest inconvenience. same thing for primeape.

growlithe: 6/10, would be higher if it didn’t have the capability to set my house ablaze. same for hisuian growlithe, arcanine, and hisuian arcanine.

poliwag: 3/10, aquatic pets are cool but i’d like to interact with my pokémon directly

poliwhirl: 4/10, it’s semi-aquatic now but i’d still probably need a pool and i don’t want one. same thing for poliwrath.

abra: 2/10, it’s almost always asleep. not only does that mean i can’t interact with it much but i also want to be able to relate but i’m writing this at one in the morning.

kadabra: 1/10, it doesn’t seem fun to be around. same thing for alakazam.

machop: 0/10, it’s essentially a small child and i don’t want kids

machoke: 0/10, it’s just a buff blue dude. that makes me uncomfortable. same thing for machamp.

bellsprout: 5/10, no real inherent problems but it doesn’t seem like a great pet

weepinbell: 2/10, my several-year obsession with little shop of horrors has given me a fear of large carnivorous plants. same thing for victreebel.

tentacool: 2/10, i am once again refusing to get a giant pool for it. same thing for tentacruel.

geodude: 0/10, any pokémon that can use self-destruct cannot be trusted. same thing for alolan geodude, graveler, alolan graveler, golem, and alolan golem.

ponyta: 3/10, cute but yet another pokémon with an open flame. same thing for rapidash.

galarian ponyta: 5/10, i love it a lot but i probably couldn’t take care of a horse. same thing for galarian rapidash.

slowpoke: 8/10, not very bright but i like a goofy dumbass. i’d need a pool but it wouldn’t need to stay in it all the time. same thing for slowbro.

galarian slowpoke: 9/10, the same as kantonian slowpoke but no pool. same thing for galarian slowbro.

magnemite: 6/10, not much personality but it’s still cute. same thing for magneton.

farfetch’d: 3/10, nothing really wrong with it but i’ve never been a big fan of farfetch’d. same thing for galarian farfetch’d.

doduo: 6/10, not much of an issue but it doesn’t seem particularly friendly.

dodrio: 2/10, the heads would constantly fight and i couldn’t even separate them.

seel: 2/10, pool. same thing for dewgong.

grimer: 1/10, would consume my entire home without remorse. same thing for muk.

alolan grimer: 2/10, probably wouldn’t do anything bad on purpose but the crystals are apparently very toxic and contain lethal poison

alolan muk: 4/10, surprisingly calm but i still would be hesitant to deal with the poison.

shellder: 3/10, another pokémon i don’t really dislike but i don’t think would make a good pet. same for cloyster.

gastly: 1/10, the constant poison gas would suck. same thing for haunter.

gengar: 2/10, i love gengar but i know it would constantly try to scare the shit out of me. and i know it would work, because i’m quick to scare.

onix: 1/10, far too big to be a pet

drowzee: 2/10, kind of creepy. it stands by you while you sleep so it can eat your dreams.

hypno: 0/10, i refuse to keep a kidnapper as a pet

krabby: 5/10, would try and pinch me. same thing for kingler.

voltorb: 0/10, i still don’t fancy my house blowing up. same thing for electrode.

exeggcute: 3/10, it wouldn’t cause any issues but i don’t care for the pokémon.

exeggutor: 4/10, i wouldn’t want a sentient tree as a pet. same thing for alolan exeggutor.

cubone: 9/10, i could give it the love it wants.

marowak: 7/10, probably wouldn’t keep one unless i raised it from a cubone.

alolan marowak: 1/10, more exposed flames

hitmonlee: 3/10, nothing wrong with the pokémon but its vague human-ness gives me the creeps.

hitmonchan: 1/10, same as hitmonlee but worse

lickitung: 1/10, i don’t want to be licked by this thing. you know its licks cause rashes and incurable itching?

koffing: 0/10, is constantly emitting poisonous gas. same thing for weezing.

galarian weezing: 8/10, not the cuddliest but it would keep the air clean

rhyhorn: 1/10, would rampage and destroy my house. same thing for rhydon.

chansey: 7/10, a cute friend who would help heal me if i got sick or hurt. but not my pet of choice.

tangela: 8/10, seems like a funky friend.

kangaskhan: 2/10, not very appealing as a pet

horsea: 2/10, pool. same with seadra.

goldeen: 1/10, pool and it’s ugly. same with seaking.

starmie: 2/10, pool. man, there are so few water types i would keep.

mr. mime: 0/10, that’s just a man. same with galarian mr. mime.

scyther: 4/10, too mean for me

jynx: 0/10, i do not want the boobémon

electabuzz: 3/10, i like the pokémon but it’s hot-tempered and would probably destroy my house with electricity

magmar: 2/10, exposed flame

pinsir: 4/10, a cool pokémon but i’d prefer something cuddlier

tauros: 1/10, too big to be a proper pet

magikarp: 1/10, it does nothing but splash. also, pool.

gyarados: 2/10, pool

lapras: 2/10, pool

ditto: 7/10, a fun pal

eevee: 10/10, super cute and cuddly

vaporeon: 1/10, pool and i don’t want to think about the copypasta

jolteon: 1/10, if it got close to anything that conducts electricity (like water) a disaster would be imminent

flareon: 2/10, could burn my house down but at least its flames aren’t on its body

porygon: 4/10, not really appealing to me

omanyte: 3/10, i would love to have a lord helix but unfortunately pool. same thing for omastar.

kabuto: 2/10, pool. same thing for kabutops.

aerodactyl: 1/10, it would have to go outside a lot to fly and it would probably catch and kill any pokémon it sees

snorlax: 2/10, a good napping buddy but it doesn’t do much and it’s too big to keep in a house

articuno: 1/10, any legendary would destroy my home. same for zapdos and moltres.

dratini: 2/10, pool (it’s not a water type but it is aquatic). same thing for dragonair.

dragonite: 7/10, very friendly. it’s also quite big, though, and i would probably still need a pool to raise it since it’s not too common to catch a wild dragonite.

mewtwo: 0/10, i hate it and it would hate me

mew: 1/10, probably doesn’t like humans

Pokémon FireRed Nuzlocke [Part 5]

Standard Nuzlocke rules apply. Non-standard grindlocke rules made up by me. No fighting outside of Trainer battles.

Four badges so far, we take our heroic journey Team Rocket’s way.

Telling someone that you’re guarding a poster is not the best way to keep their attention off that poster, for the record.

Dude’s got a level 20 Raticate. Heero, being absurdly overleveled despite the handicap, murders it. Zaft can try to tackle the Zubat. Zaft succeeds! And the lackluster fight is over.

A quick talk with an NPC later, our ten-year-old self has the means to start gambling. If we wanted to. We don’t. The pokemon you can get take too long to train, and more importantly, we already have Ribbons for this city.

I know Red is supposed to be the Serious protagonist.

But signs point to him being a hopeless ten-year-old like the rest of us.

Okay, now it’s time to think a little. Team Rocket has the Poison sets, Rattata line, and Zubat line, mainly. I would ideally like Ribbons to hit 30 before we head back to Lavender for the tower fun, but outside of Grimer, meh. Zaft could maybe use some switching down here, so it would make sense for Zaft to go in first position.

Let’s. Try that.

...Wanting an Electrode to contribute meaningfully to my team is going to be my downfall. I can feel it.

Let’s bash some mob heads.

Grunt #1 with a level 21 Raticate for Allenby to rescue Zaft from. Two, even.

Yay, random hidden PP Up for Giga Drain. (60 damage with 5 PP? I forgot how much later gens boost the power on everything to create real monsters.)

Grunt #2. Ick. Level 21 Drowzee. Heero can grab this one. And Drowzee uses Poison Gas to poison Heero. Sigh. Machop next and last, and that can be Allenby’s.

That’s sorted, so down the stairs we go.

Grunt #3. Level 17 Zubat. Zaft can totally handle that alone. And learn Spark! The Koffing is more Allenby’s speed, though. Grimer for Ribbons. Another Zubat for Zaft. Now with the power of an actual Electric move. And finally, Raticate. ...Which we will let Zaft take a stab at against our better judgment.

Hey, it works out! Awesome!

I hated these things as a child.

That was not a wrong opinion.

Grunt #4! Level 19 Rattata for Zaft. Level 19 Raticate for Zaft to have help with. Ribbons, how about you give it a shot? You need exp too. Another one and let’s throw out the same treatment. Back to Rattata for Zaft to solo.

Grunt #5 with three pokemon. First out is level 20 Grimer. Allenby nabs the Koffing. And stays in for the last one.

Downstairs for Grunt #6. It feels like a much higher number than that. Level 21 Machop for Allenby. And a second one.

The more fights there are, the more boring this playthrough gets to describe. There’s no drama. No tension. My team is going to clobber the mooks, and everything is going to be awesome.

Until it suddenly changes, and no one will know because all this boring as heck description is going to drain the horror of all power.

Lucky #7. Level 20 Rattata. These things with their horrifying Hyper Fangs. Raticate. That one will require Allenby’s help. With some hesitance, she’ll stay in against the Drowzee.

The one thing I will never love about Nuzlockes is the number of times I go back to Pokemon Centers. It’s a lot of walking I never do usually.

#8. A level 21 Koffing for Allenby. Back to Zaft for the Zubat.

Lift Key get. Yay.

You’re a mook, not a proper villain, #9. Act like it. Ooh, level 22 Grimer for Ribbons. Koffing for Allenby. Exploring which level the elevator takes me to for me.

#10, standing outside a door I hope opens automatically so I don’t have to go out to search for more keys. Level 23 Ekans goes to Allenby. ...And a Sandshrew. Nay, villains, that is not for you. Ribbons, correct this wrong. Arbok, and back to Allenby.

#11, what do you have for me? Another Sandshrew for Ribbons. Stop using Sandshrew. It’s too cute for you. Noin can have the Sandslash. In the spirit of letting her have something to do. Ekans goes to Allenby.

I don’t remember how this fight goes. I’m going to put Ribbons in front because I don’t think Zaft is useful against any of Giovanni’s anything in any world. Heero and Allenby might very well be jumping in to save everyone. Hopefully not, but whatever. Onward.

Meh.

Level 25 Onix out first, justifying all my choices. Rhyhorn next. Then Kangaskhan. A level 29 Kangaskhan. Allenby might need to step in, but Ribbons can take a hit.

It knows Mega Punch.

Can Allenby take a Mega Punch?

Heero has higher Defense and more HP.

STAB Mega Punch is terrifying. Heero... be brave, now.

Oh, that wasn’t so bad. 30 HP lost.

Yeah, in the future, Giovanni is not for switch training. Allenby gets first crack at the Kangaskhan.

Now it’s time for a ghostly adventure. Yay. Ultimate fetch quests of ultimate destiny.

Actually, before that, which TMs are available at Game Corner? I can’t get a pokemon here, but the moves might be worth something. Let’s see... Ice Beam, Iron Tail, Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball, Flamethrower.

That’s expensive.

I... might come back for Thunderbolt. I’m not sure. Depends how Zaft does. Or Ice Beam, depending on what my final team ends up looking like. There are a few things that could happen.

For now, Ghost tower.

Ribbons and Zaft’s playground.

This place is dark for Nuzlocke runs. It’s creepy regardless, but. Brr.

Oh, you’re first, not last. Uh. Hm.

I think his Pidgeot(to?) is up front. Zaft theoretically isn’t a bad pick for that, but the levels could be anything. Pokemon Tower is available right after Rock Tunnel, so I’m not too worried about this, but this place is also designed to be beaten all the way through after you get the Silph Scope.

Zaft, if you die, we’re in the right place.

SHUT UP.

Okay, so he has a level 25 Pidgeotto. Not something Zaft should be fighting, but. Fuck, I’m going to be stupid, aren’t I? I’m going to let it try to get a hit in. Sorry in advance, Zaft. Pidgeotto used Sand Attack. Zaft could faint it if it hits again.

Good job, Zaft! Now get out!

Allenby in for Growlithe. It’s level 23, but has Intimidate because of course it does. Exeggcute goes to Heero. Wartortle is Noin’s. Kadabra... Ribbons, you want a shot? You’re a higher level. Good boy.

Phew. Okay. That should be the worst of the Tower, I think.

With a level 22 Gastly. Zaft wins all by itself and makes it to level 24!

Channeler Carly also has a Gastly. This one’s level 24, so Ribbons will help.

Channeler Hope is next, with the unfortunate name for a possessed woman. Also a level 23 Gastly. Ribbons will help Zaft again.

Going back to the possessed part for a second... I don’t really pay attention to the plot of these games. I do not care. I am here for the pokemon and not much else. Sun and Moon letting you beat down the Professor is probably one of the few squees the plot of any of these games have given me.

But then there’s gen one and people randomly getting possessed and attacking you just because there needs to be some justification for Trainer battles in a graveyard. I guess. Also Ghosts exist, but ghosts are looked at with the standard superstitious thoughts of our world.

I love these dumb games.

Oh, hello. Right, I can catch a thing here.

Caught!

Your name will be... Epyon. I will never be able to use you because I have no idea how you would even go about trading on an emulator, but it’s nice that if something terrible goes wrong you will be around. I guess.

Channeler Laurel is our next victim. She has a level 23 Gastly. Then another. Ribbons will help with the second one. Night Shade packs a punch.

Channeler Jody. Jody is not the name of someone you would expect to end up here, but I guess the chaotic sprite is probably a symptom of possession. Anyway, level 22 Gastly.

Channeler Paula, who inspires the same joke I just made. Her Gastly is level 24.

I think the next floor up has a healing circle.

Yay, I don’t have to walk all the way outside for the third time.

Channeler Ruth’s Gastly is level 22. We are letting Ribbons and Zaft share to be nice.

Channeler Karina has a level 24 Gastly. Similar tactics employed.

Channeler Janae brings out her level 22 Gastly.

-gasp-

Channeler Tammy... has a Haunter. It’s level 23.

It’s amazing how so many different things from childhood are so much creepier when you reapproach them as an adult.

Channeler Angelica! Hee. Level 22 Gastly, followed by a level 22 Gastly, followed by a level 22 Gastly.

Channeler Jennifer is next. Level 24 Gastly.

Channeler Emilia has another level 24 Gastly.

I think we’ve reached the Marowak staircase, so Zaft is going to have to go second instead of first. Ribbons, you’re free to take on the Marowak all by yourself. Like a champ. I believe in you. And if that belief is faulty, Noin has your back.

Have you ever wanted to give a cloud of ominous mist a hug?

Ribbons wins the day, and all that’s left is Team Rocket.

The first grunt has a level 25 Zubat. Level jump. Yay. My favorite thing in the whole wide world. Another level 25 Zubat. Well at least they’re making this easy for Zaft. Then there’s a level 25 Golbat, threatening things less easy. Heero, step in and save Zaft from confusion.

Second grunt. Level 26 Koffing. Allenby time. Heero gets the Drowzee.

Grunt number three. Last one at the Tower. Kindly opening with a level 23 Zubat for Zaft. And following it with a level 23 Rattata. Then a level 23 Raticate. Allenby will help with that one. ...Actually Heero will, since I wasn’t in the mood to go back and heal after the last Grunt.

No, Zaft, you cannot learn Selfdestruct. Bad Zaft.

Level 23 Zubat for the last thing.

That’s my job. I’m the protagonist.

Poke Flute get!

So now for the least fun part of all this. Snorlax. I need to try to catch it, because it’s too ridiculously useful not to try for, but it’s also ridiculously hard to catch. And not Pokemon Go hard to catch. Actually hard. I need to hit Celadon for some Ultra Balls.

Everywhere only has Great Balls. Nice. Okay then.

I’m going to hate this.

Allenby’s up first.

For the sake of this run’s rules, if I give up on trying to catch it, I’m going to just run. If that’s not an option, then I’ll faint it. But intentionally fainting it if I have other options is out. If it’s going to kill me, run, run, run.

Oh fuck. The Snorlax does too much damage with Headbutt. Catching is a pipe dream.

HOLY SHIT.

IT IS CAUGHT.

WITH MINIMAL TRAUMA.

WHAT.

NAME.

PO.

AWESOME.

LET’S GET YOU OUT OF THE BOX.

JOLLY. LIKE A SANTA.

Heck I am psyched.

Look at this.

Unless something goes horribly wrong, this is our team.

Let’s get that other Snorlax out of our way. There are a lot of Flying trainers past it, and I’m more confident in dealing with that than our Biker friends we will be meeting shortly. Zaft’s still lowest on the totem pole, and correcting that sooner rather than later is my preference.

Other Snorlax successfully fled. Zaft back in front. Awesome. Awesome awesome awesome.

Rocker Luca is hanging about, and he’s got a level 29 Voltorb. Ugh. Allenby, help.

Er.

Oh good, only down to 58.

Then he has a level 29 Electrode. Noin pretty much has to go in just in case. Yikes. Yikes and more yikes. Noin poisons it. Ganbatte Noin.

Great, we lived through that. Nearest PokeCenter where.

Also, to get the Itemfinder and Leftovers, I need 30 pokemon in my Pokedex. I’ve got 24. Things to fix. I think I can fish in cities, Zaft will evolve, and... and I should just resign myself to not getting the stuff right away. Fine.

A Fisherman named Andrew. With a level 24 Magikarp. Yum. And another for good measure.

Next down the bridge, Picnicker Alma. With a level 28 Goldeen for Allenby. ...For Po, actually. Now Po is confused. Now Po is not confused. Now Po is confused. This time the confusion does not matter. Yay Po. Poliwag all for Zaft. Horsea too.

Bird Keeper Sebastian is next. So many things to process. Like the level 29 Pidgey. Ow. Or the Pidgeotto. More ow.

Still on the bridge (maybe our last one until running back for Quatre to Cut a few things?), Picnicker Susie would like to battle with a near-full roster. Starting with a level 24 Pidgey. I approve. Meowth next. Then Rattata. Then Pikachu. Allenby will finish that thanks to some unfortunate paralysis. Zaft back for a Meowth that Heero will nom.

Off the bridge!

She’s got a level 27 Rattata. Pikachu next. Noin food. Another Rattata for Zaft.

I’m running back to Vermilion after each of these fights. Partly because I’m too lazy to figure out what the key is for the bike I have.

Beauty Sheila. She has a level 29 Clefairy, which looks like prime Po food. Zaft goes back in for the Meowth. And Zaft the miracle child paralyzes it in a way that allows us to dodge a run back to the Pokemon Center.

Picnicker Valerie is next. She has a level 30 Poliwag because she wants Zaft to thrive on this team. And another, even! My thanks.

And.

Finally.

Look at that grin.

Picnicker Gwen time. Bringing the level 27 Pidgey. Meowth. Pidgey. Pidgeotto.

...Zaft being evolved is honestly so helpful.

Bird Keeper Perry! Hoping to fare better? Not with that level 25 Spearow asking for Po’s attention. Pidgey means Zaft is back. Same to the next Pidgey. Spearow for Po again. And one last one.

So the bike is the Backspace button. Fine. Better than holding the B button and running all the way.

Music to my ears, Robert. Pidgey, level 26 Pidgeotto, Spearow for Po, Fearow also for Po, and we’re good. Then we’ve got a Biker coming up, so Po gets to switch places with Zaft as first in line.

Though something which I remembered a little earlier has caught my attention. I think Snorlax is on the slower end of growth. Electrode doesn’t have that problem. Hopefully Po will be multipurpose enough to make up for it, but that could be something I need to watch out for. There’s a very limited supply to work with.

But Biker! Biker Jared with the level 28 Koffing. And this is where I learn Po’s ability is Immunity. Po can’t be poisoned. Oh happy day. I think Po’s going to be seeing a lot of use against Bikers. Another Koffing, and another Koffing.

Back to bird boys, so Zaft in front again.

Bird Keeper Carter has a level 28 Pidgey. Doduo for Po. Zaft goes back to clean up the Pidgeotto.

If anyone were reading these, I’m sure they’d be as sick as I am of me detailing every single fight with the absolute minimal detail I can stand. It is not good entertainment. Sadly, since I started this with the assumption that I could be doing a few tries... I want a record of what I’ll be up against. Just skim.

Mitch with the level 26 Pidgey. Spearow for Po. Pidgey for Zaft. Fearow for Po.

Back to Vermilion’s Pokemon Center. And screw it, I’m going to catch something in the water. Super Rod for variety.

Naisu. And of course it knows Dragon Rage. Damn it.

I fucked up.

Shit.

...Shit.

I got arrogant. Should have gone Old Rod.

I’m laughing.

I am in so much trouble now.

But I can’t help it.

Oh wow.

I really have to catch this.

Well.

Yay?

Actual fuck.

Your name is Altron.

Fuck you. Welcome to the team.

Ribbons. Noin. I would apologize if I didn’t find the situation so unspeakably hilarious. I chose this fight. It was completely optional. No one twisted my arm. Unlike the trainer fights. Yet. Here we are. One very angry Gyarados brought two of my favorite team members to their knees.

I spent TMs on both of you. And a PP Up on Giga Drain. I had high hopes. I was playing so carefully. If I had remembered that Po was my tank earlier, you might have made it through. Instead...

Instead, this gets interesting.

I am back down to five partners (yay, Quatre, you get to come back!), and a level 25 Gyarados is not the simplest thing to train.

I... Oh. Fuck.

There’s a Lapras coming up, isn’t there?

No, that’s a gen one thing. This is a gen three version of gen one, so cursed.

Fuck. I need to think.

What do I really have left in the world to catch?

There’s the long bike area, Safari Zone, a few routes I can touch better with Quatre back on the team... But in terms of level? A free level 25 thing (lol “free”) is not bad. Victory Road has wild level 40s, but nothing I could conceivably make solid use of.

Unless I get incredibly lucky, Gyarados is probably going to be the best thing I can get my hands on before the end of the game.

-hours later-

After some contemplation, I think this is going to mark a change in approach. People beat these games with only one pokemon battling. I don’t feel like splitting exp and training something again.

So I’ll have Altron in my team, and perhaps even make use of him, but the team focuses are going to be Zaft, Allenby, Heero, and Po. For the whole rest of the game. ...Decision subject to change. But I’m just really not feeling the desire to train anything else.

We shall see. We shall be concerned. We shall endure.

We shall be happy Quatre is back on the team.

Camper Justin has a level 29 male Nidoran. Go Po. Then a level 29 Nidorino. Don’t die, Po. Yay, Po.

According to my vague map I haven’t caught something on Route 12. Because Serebii says there’s a chance you can Super Rod up a level 35 Horsea, I will attempt to catch one.

Sadly mine is a level 20. Now named Max. Pokedex count: 27.

Route 13′s thing is Venonat. It poisons Zaft. Altron helps, because, as we all know, Altron knows Dragon Rage. Venonat is caught, and its new name shall be Well. Because no one reads these and I can do what I want.

We finally arrive at where we were before all that Gyarados nonsense. You can tell it was nonsense because I still say Gyarados half the time instead of using Altron’s name.

Anyway, Bird Keeper Marlon. He has a Spearow. Aka Po food. Po stays in for the Doduo. Level 28 btw. As my emotional pain rises my transcribing cares fall. Fearow next. Still Po.

Next up is Bird Keeper Beck. Flying high with a level 29 Pidgeotto. And a Fearow for Po. Considerate.

You mean those things I probably can’t catch?

Bird Keeper Donald. Quack. ...Complete with Farfetch’d. Amazing. Po, help nom it.

Can Gyarados learn Fly? I’m reluctant to throw that on Heero because I don’t know what’s coming next, but I’m also reluctant to keep on biking back to Vermilion to keep a limit on tragic accidents.

Why is Gyarados a Flying type if it can’t learn Fly. Boo.

Don’t let people peer pressure you into forcing your pets to fight, man. Bird Keeper Benny. Level 29 Spearow. Po kills it, as is right and just. Fearow up next. And Po learns Body Slam to replace Headbutt.

Then we have a row of Bikers before we can get to the grass. Po, you’re in front now.

Biker Gerald with the level 29 Koffing. Plus level 29 Muk. The tributes to Po continue.

Biker Malik. Another level 29 Koffing. Level 29 Grimer.

Biker Isaac has three pokemon. Level 28 Grimer first. Then a second one. Then a Koffing for last place.

One. more. Biker. ...here.

You can tell he’s cool because he has four pokemon and his sprite was allowed to ride his bike. One level 26 Koffing first. One more. Grimer. Final Koffing to round it all out.

Zaft goes out front to facilitate the capture of whatever our Route 14 thing chooses to be.

I see no way for this to go wrong.

Caught!

Your name’s Afranche now.

Pokedex count: 29.

Time for Po and Allenby to beat up Twins Jan and Kiri. With their fancy level 29 Charmander and Squirtle. It is a quick fight.

Made it to Route 15. Look at us go. Look at how I’ve caught everything here that I can, thanks to the species clause. Look at how far away that Itemfinder is.

Biker Ernest has a level 25 Koffing. And another. Then Weezing. Back to Koffing. Then, at long last, a Grimer to finish things.

Biker Alex introduces himself by threatening to mug us. But. That’s sort of what happens during every battle. Someone is going to fork over a bunch of cash. So his tough guy image is a lie hiding his willingness to conform to society’s standards.

Anyway, level 28 Koffing. Grimer. Weezing.

In the spirit of really not wanting to bike back to Vermilion even though Po needs healing. Zaft goes up front while we try to dodge around everyone on our way to Fuchsia.

I’m going to stop you right there.

Tfw you will never.

Fuchsia reached, and for future reference, this is where the Move Deleter is in this game. That might be handy to know.

Because Zaft is already in front, I wander down before I have Surf to play with the Swimmers. Swimmer Richard has a level 30 Tentacool. Then a Shellder. Swimmer Reece has a level 29 Goldeen Po can help with. Zaft goes back in for the Horsea. Stays in for Staryu.

Scrubbed the deck with the landlubbed Swimmers.

Good Rod get, and I’m going to fish up my Fuchsia City thing in the pond behind the Fisher guy’s house.

I can’t see this helping much.

I’m feeling really lazy. You can be Barton.

But! I have 30 now!

Time to hit the Trainers we missed and then bike back to Vermilion! ...Yay!

Bird Keeper Edwin first on the docket. With a level 26 Pidgeotto. Po in for Farfetch’d. And Doduo. Zaft comes back for Pidgey.

Bird Keeper Chester is next. With Dodrio wanting Po’s attention. Doduo next. Also another one.

Picnickers are next, and I think in the interest of fairness Allenby is going to be up front for them.

A level 29 Bellsprout opens the match. Allenby is beyond such things. Heero can eat the Oddish. Heero can also eat the Tangela.

Picnicker Kindra is next. Bringing the level 28 Gloom for Heero. Heero stays in for the Oddish. All two of them.

Beauty Olivia has a level 29 Bulbasaur. Heero clearly needed to be the one up front for all of this. Ivysaur next and last.

Beauty Grace has a level 29 Pidgeotto. Against my better judgment, Allenby will stay in to try and Rock Slide it. Gambit successful. Wigglytuff in next, so Allenby gets to stay in for a whole fight!

Picnicker Becky has a Pikachu. On a related note, Allenby now knows Cross Chop. Cross Chop murders Becky’s Raichu.

Picnicker Celia just has the one level 33 Clefairy.

Had.

Double Battle putting Allenby and Heero in the driver’s seat. Yes, at the same time. Against Ron and Mya. Level 29 Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee.

Aaaaaand that’s what we have down here.

Itemfinder time!

Yes!

Success.

Let’s call this part there, shall we? Before anything horrible can happen. It’s been something of a rough ride this time around. Entirely because of my own choices, but still.

High note end, get.

Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu: thoughts so far

My team thus far:

Pikachu (M) - Timid, Takes plenty of siestas

Daxter (M) (Beedril) - Sassy, Likes to relax

Karpe Diem (M) (Gyarados) - Timid (ironically), Likes to thrash about (unironically)

Izroul (M) (Kadabra) - Lonely, Nods off a lot

Jax (M) (Machoke) - Sassy, Somewhat vain

Other Pokemon I caught that aren't part of my team but I still like:

A female oddish named Ladydrake (like mandrake)

A female Paras named Library

A male Mr. Mime that I've named "Ash'sRealDad"

Pokemon I want in the future:

A Gastly for my main team, because to this day I still frickin love Gengar

-In the likely event I cannot fully evolve said Gastly, I will keep it as a Haunter, use it explicitly for traveling purposes, and name it Ghost Rider

Reviving the Helix Fossil I got and naming it Lord Helix (I wanted him for my main team but if that's on Cinnabar then I'll have to reconsider my options)

- Alternatively I could capture myself a Pidgeotto/Pidgeot and name it Bird Jesus, then I'll have a way to fly and still keep the reference ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

- Just found out you can't ride Pidgeot what the hell. fuck okay Bird Jesus won't fly then

Other random thoughts:

Resisting the urge every second to rename my Pikachu Ryan Reynolds (Much like I resisted naming my first Fennekin "Firefox" like everyone else did)

Zippy Zap is broken

I named my rival Blue because I figured he was just some redesigned version of Blue who would act/talk the same and I wanted to stay true to the RBY games, but then the ACTUAL Blue showed up after I beat Brock and I was like "ah fuck" now there's two Blues and I am WAY too far in to change my mind

- That being said the actual Blue is kinda cute in this game ngl

Can I no longer talk to my Magikarp now that he's evolved into Gyarados? Is he now reduced solely to being ridden? Can I no longer raise his friendship by interacting with him? Am I only able to raise it now just by walking?

- I have a thought that since I can talk to Pokemon like Persian and Rhyhorn as I'm riding them, I must be able to do the same with Karpe Diem - but until I can surf with him (Er, 'scuse me - "sea skim") I won't know for sure

On that note can I never interact with Pikachu like I did before now that he's on my shoulder?

I am still waiting for the day where I can walk with my Bisharp and Hawlucha and Phantump. All the games have been slightly off from being the perfect game for this. HGSS had the "following" mechanic for 4 generations of Pokemon, but it wasn't Gen 5/6 yet so I didn't get to have my favorites. XY and up had Pokemon Amie/Refresh, which let you have some of that closeness with your babs. SM/USUM had walking animations ready for 800+ Pokemon but didn't use barely any of them. Lets Go used some very good and versatile 151+ walking/interaction animations but didn't use the rest of the 700. My brother says it'll never happen and that I'll never get to walk with my Bisharp, but unless Satoshi Tajiri personally comes to my house and tells me himself that my living blender will never follow me down Victory Road, I refuse to believe it will never happen

I know it's called Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee and that's the point, but I'm still going to be mildly irked that you can't pet your other Pokemon like you can Pikachu/Eevee

You can pick your skin tone at the beginning and wear matching (or mismatching) clothes with your starter partner but you can never change your hair or eye color. There's no option for people with green eyes (I don't have green eyes but I know this'd probably piss off a lot of people who do) and you can't be the whitest skin tone and have dark hair. So essentially I can pick from 50 different outfits to play dress up with my electric mouse but if I want to look like my pale-ass, dark-haired IRL self then I'm shit outta luck I guess

Jessie and James are here and they're very true to their anime counterparts, that's pretty frickin cool, but Meowth should be talking imo

Shorts are still comfy and easy to wear

I'm still not as hot as Brock

I still got scammed out of 500 for the Magikarp but jokes on him bc Karpe Diem is gonna wreck everyone's shit

I'm a little gay for Lorelei

If sakura was pokmon trainer,what team would she have?

You’re asking me this, but the truth is, I only know the first 150 (well, somewhat 250). However, from generation I and II:

> Igglybuff as a starter polémon, which Sakura would select and the sarutobi’s lab because of the childish reason that it’s cute. That choice would suit Sakura as her mindset was at 12 year old, very naive and sheltered, and liking appearanes. Narratively, it would suit her as a character as well. As for “part I”, Igglybuff (and it’s first evolution, Jigglypuff), is a “normal” pokémon, whose type and moveset isn’t anything special. Sakura begins as a “normal” child that doesn’t come from a clan, she has a standard skillset and doesn’t have “special abilities”. As for “part II”, Jigglypuff evolves into Wigglytuff, which is a very strong and useful pokémon (stats, type, moves) that through TMs (which could reflect the “research” and “studious” part of Sakura) can “complete” the rest of the pokémon team she has. For example, types that are missing are “fighting and “electric”, and I think it would be interesting if it was Rock Lee / Tsunade who’d helped her teaching it fighting moves while it was Sasuke who’d help her teaching it the electric moves.

> As a specialist in venoms, I believe Sakura would opt for one of these (more specialised, there’s poison type below), either Bulbasaur or Oddish (Vileplume) lines. I was very torn between which one of them, but in the end I realised Bulbasaur is “amphibian like” (so he’d suit Naruto more) and it’s also rarer (it could be a gift from Jiraiya to Naruto), so I ended up chosing Oddish (Vileplume). I also think it would be funny for young Sakura to get an Oddish because they’re cute (and common), but then it would evolve into the “ugly” Gloom and she would be dismayed. However, she’d love it anyway despite it’s “darkness” (hint hint) because it’s her beloved pokémon.I envision Sasuke giving her a Leaf Stone at some anniversary (very symbolic, but also very pratical as a trainer -instead of a ninja-, very Sasuke-ish I think) and later when he’d be gone to frolic with “Team Akatsuki”, she’d find out in a research book that she could use it on her pokémon for it to become stronger.

> For dramatic irony, a Magicarp (and also because it’s a water pokémon, which I believe is Sakura’s element, not earth). At first it is “useless” and needs a lot of help to grow, but working hard on it rewards the trainer with one of the most powerful pokemons in those two generations. I envision something like James’ magikarp in the show (maybe offered by a clueless Naruto or Rock Lee as a wooing gift), he got it and had to haul it around (always a big joke), but then one day by a freak incident it would evolve and… well, I don’t think I need to harp on the badass and usefulness of Gyarados as everyone knows it (as for great stats / moves, it’s water types it can learn several rare type moves, such as ice or dragon as well). Also, it should be a SHINY MAGIKARP, so it’s evolution is red! ETA: While I looked for a chart of it, I was made aware there’s actually ANOTHER evolution beyond that. but I don’t know what it does.

> Caterpie is also an interesting choice for dramatic irony, and it’s also a nice “substitute” for a slug (most insect pokémon don’t really fit this). It’s less of a pain in the arse to level up, but later on it is a glass canon (so not very Sakura-ish, which is why I haven’t chosen it since I don’t think it suits her) as it has poor stats comparatively to the others and is weak against plenty of types. However and for me, it’s a very good one especially well beefed up as it’s so useful and versatile it’s amazing (it’s one of my favourites!). This would be given to Sakura by Tsunade at the beginning of her training. An interesting story would be Sakura working hard at the Pokémon Hospital during the timeskip, so every money saved would go to buying stat enhancing treats for it (what I… do… everytime I get a Butterfree, which is about always) and for TMS in general (as I said before, this could reflect Sakura’s intelligence part, she’d research and study the best ways to help her pokémon become stronger).

> A Nidoran♀, for the same reasons as Jigglypuff.It starts off as a very normal pokémon, very fitting of how Sakura started, and it’s definetlyfeminine ♀♀♀,just like Sakura used to be (is and will be, to be fair; but I think you get the idea of what I’m trying to say). Then evolves into a very physically strong pokémon with poison and ground abilities (it can also learn most fighting moves), and as a bonus because of it’s earth type, this polémon is immune to electricity (completing the sannin parallel). I envision something like Sakura getting one while Sasuke is gone and he’d get a Nidoran♂ (without knowing), and then everytime they’d meet as enemies, the two pokemons wouldn’t be able to fight because they loved each other and interrupted to do embarassing things much to the chagrin of the two trainers.

> Happiny, another normal / fairy type I know, but again it can be used to complete the rest of the team just as Wigglytuff. In this case. I chose it because this chain is associated with medics. It came to mind as one of the first, but it would be one of the last she got, given to her by Tsunade either during the timeskip or after some special achievement (for example, getting all badges or something) in “part II”. Chansey / Blissey can learn psychic moves (as is the case for Jigglypuff / Wigglytuff, but that one already has a lot on it’s mind 😂 I’m sorry), which would fill Sakura’s “good with genjutsu” quota (which NARUTO didn’t do for some stupid reason), through normal training or learnt moves.

> A Togepi, yet another fairy type (but I kind of think this would be Sakura’s type if she was in the world of pokémon). I summed this team and saw that from what I’d associate with Sakura (or a “standard” ninja) “flying” was missing (Gyarados is flying but…), so she needed one to balance. It was either one of these or a normal bird (I love Pidgey / Pidgeotto / Pidgeot!), but I think Togepi being a fairy type and also can learn psychic moves would suit Sakura rather well. Not sure where this one would come from TBH.

ETA: THERE’S SEVEN OF THEM FORGIVE ME.

ETA2: Mew would be her mythical pokémon, obviously. It’s just too special to add to a “normal” team though.

Original 151 Poke’mon

And what it says about you! By: James Grebey This is a fun read! :D Bulbasaur — You’re accessible, reliable, and don’t like to be challenged. If you did like a challenge, you wouldn’t have chosen the starter that can steamroll the first two gyms. Ivysaur — You’re starting to be a “real adult,” so you pay your own cell-phone bill. Venusaur — You’ve had to deal with several rounds of layoffs and all sorts of bullshit, and your body hurts and you’re just goddamn tired and full of resentment. Charmander — You’ve fooled everyone—maybe even yourself—into thinking that you’re all cute and sweet, but there is a fire inside you and you are ready to let folks know that they’ve wronged you. Charmeleon — Your favorite soda is Diet Mountain Dew. Charizard — You think of yourself as a scrappy underdog, despite being undeniably popular and powerful. Ninety percent chance you’re a Boston sports fan. Squirtle — You’re sweet and innocent and are blessed with the ability to rock any pair of sunglasses. Wartortle — You’re a little upset when people don’t comment on your new haircut, even though you totally did not get it for the attention. Blastoise — Your favorite genre of movie is military documentary. Caterpie — You have low expectations for yourself, but the key is finding joy in the ordinary. Metapod — You would eat undercooked chicken when you ordered a salad rather than tell the waiter that they got your order wrong. Butterfree — You’re still deeply scarred by that episode of Pokémon where Ash says goodbye to his Butterfree, and that emotional trauma is the only reason why you haven’t picked a better Pokémon to be your favorite. Weedle — Contrary to the saying, you do not know when you’ve been insulted. Kakuna — You remember every single slight that’s ever been leveled against you, real and perceived. Beedrill — You have forgotten about at least one of your tattoos. Pidgey — People wrongly assume that you can’t keep a secret, but you’re actually extremely trustworthy, and it’s a little hurtful, actually, that people think they can’t confide in you. Pidgeotto — You attempted to start going by your middle name when you went off to college, but it didn’t stick. Pidgeot — You don’t participate in the group text thread much, but whenever you do chime in, it’s a knockout. Rattata — You’re a tattletale. Raticate — There’s a pizza box somewhere in your bedroom, right now. Spearow — You push away people who are only trying to help. Fearow — You have stabbed somebody, or at least seriously, seriously considered it. Ekans — Deep in your heart, you know that you’re a Slytherin. Arbok — You proudly self-identify as a Slytherin. Pikachu — Ya basic. Raichu — You think that those rentable scooter start-ups are good, actually. Sandshrew — You have a rich inner life, and you’re secure enough that you don’t feel the need to always be a part of every conversation. Sandslash — Nobody ever really knows what you’re thinking, and it keeps people on edge. Nidoran♀ — You’re deeply upset about what’s happened to Tumblr. Nidorina — You would be onboard a “Hillary 2020” campaign. Nidoqueen — You listen to Lemonade once a day. Nidoran♂ — You probably have some personal biases that you should really address. Nidorino — Inexplicably, you are super, super into soccer, or, as you call it, “football.” Nidoking — In lieu of a personality, you are really into bourbon and craft beer. Clefairy — You would die for Carly Rae Jepsen. Clefable — You can utterly destroy somebody’s sense of self-worth and self-confidence with just the briefest of withering looks. Vulpix — You have dabbled in crystals. Ninetales — You’ve tried running the way they do in Naruto at least once because, well, what if it really is faster that way? Jigglypuff — You want to be the center of attention, yet you cannot handle even the mildest criticism. Wigglytuff — You are deeply invested in the Royal Family. Zubat — You are extremely annoying, and everyone wishes you would stop bothering them!!!! Christ, I’m just trying to walk through this cave in peace!!! Golbat — You nasty.

I have just been out doing a bit of Pokémon hunting at night around where where i live in the East End of Glasgow, Scotland. This is some of the Pokémon i have captured in Pokémon Go not only tonight, but from other nights to recently where i have been out catching them too.

Read on to find out what species of Pokémon i caught, what cool evolutions i done when i was out, what egg hatches happened and also find out if i earned any new medals. I am MasterTrainerSQ and i hope you enjoy this blog entry!

Lots Of Pokémon Out At Night

Some are quite scary looking, and others i think really shouldn’t be out at night! I encountered Pokémon of several different types including: Normal, Water, Ice, Grass, Psychic, Dark, Flying, Fire and more!

Pokemon Go Hunting At Night: Farfetch’d

Just some of the different Pokémon species i caught include: Banette, Farfetch’d, Quagsire, Goldeen, Zubat, Charmeleon, Noctowl, Vulpix, Wooper, Murkrow, Aipom, Natu, Pidgeotto, Mantine, Snubbull, Fearow and many, many more!

I even managed to come across multiples of the same Pokémon species in the wild including: Pidgeot, Murkrow, Shuppet, Spearow, Psyduck, and some others. Here are just some of the Pokémon i found and caught while out and about in the night streets of Glasgow.

(Remember: You can click then comment on any image on this page)..

Capturing Pokémon

I think it is so much fun trying to capture the different Pokémon, hoping you get them before they run away on you. I also forgot to use my Raspberries on the Pokémon to make it easier for me to catch, which is not the best strategy to Catch ‘Em All!

Here are cool action photos of me trying to catch the different Pokémon on the streets at night in Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom. Most of the Pokémon species you see in the photos below i caught, but unfortunately, some of the little rascals did escape me!

Some of the Pokémon that you can see in the photos above that i did not manage to capture include such as Skiploom and Farfetch’d. I do already have a these 2 Pokémon species registered in my Pokédex, but i caught them on a different occasion, they managed to evade my capture this time around!

I used up many Pokéballs, Berries and Pineapples while out trying to capture as many Pokémon as i could and my item stock is running pretty low because of this.

Level 31 + Some Medals

I am very happy to announce that i made it up to Level 31 in Pokémon Go while out and about at night catching all these different Pokémon species. For reaching the super milestone of Level 31, i was rewarded with some items including 30 Ultra Balls, 15 Max Potions, 15 Nanab Berries and 10 Max Revives.

I also earned 2 medals in Pokémon Go when playing which was for Hatching 500 Eggs and also for Registering 70 Pokémon From The Johto Region in to my Pokédex.

Below you can see how well i am doing in terms of progressing through the game and earning my medals. I have reached gold level quite a few of them, but still have others to complete..

MasterTrainerSQ – Medals So Far (December 2017)

I think it is safe to say that i need to hunt down alot more Dragon and Fighting Type Pokémon as well as way more Tiny Ratatta, Big Magikarp and all Pikachu!

Egg Hatches

When i was out walking the streets, i made some progress with some eggs i was trying to hatch. These are the best 3 Pokémon species that i was lucky enough to get hatching from my eggs in Pokémon Go..

Pokémon Go – 2km Egg Hatch – Oddish

Pokémon Go – 5km Egg Hatch – Onix

Pokémon Go – 10km Egg Hatch – Dratini

As well as the Oddish, the Onix and the Dratini above, I also was lucky enough to hatch an awesome Exeggcute with Great IVs and High CP. Unfortunately i didn’t manage to get any photos of the evolution happening, but you can see this Pokémon elsewhere in this blog entry.

Evolutions

I have also done some really cool evolutions while i was out playing Pokémon Go including evolving Magby into Magmar, Wartortle into Blastoise, Rattata into Raticate and Zubat into Golbat. Here are some photos of the just mentioned Pokémon evolving..

Thats All For Tonight

So that is all the Pokémon i caught while out hunting them at night in the East End of Glasgow and all of the Evolutions and Egg Hatchings i done too. I always have fun out playing Pokémon Go and playing it at night gives a different type of experience and joy than that which comes from playing during the day. That said, i love playing Pokémon Go any time on any day…

… I am MasterTrainerSQ and it was great talking with you!

Are You A Pokémon Go Trainer?

Do you like playing Pokémon Go at night? or do you just go out during the day to play? Please leave a comment letting me know what you think of the Pokémon species i have caught and the medals i have earned. Also, Are you on Level 31 yet? and What Pokémon have you caught recently?

Note

for your pokemon needs : if had to assign a pokemon for your oc's, which would it be and why? (or, similarly, if your oc's had pokemon, which do you think they'd have? whichever question's wording makes it easier for you to answer) 💕

I swear to god this took me like five hundred years to answer because I have too many fucking ocs. I didn’t include Eve or Ocean’s 8 Andrea because I don’t use them enough, but I may add them later.

Julia Vitaliya: Pidgeotto & Pidgeot (flying type), Gyarados (water/flying), Salamence (dragon/flying type), Growlithe & Arcanine (fire type), Rapidash (fire type) and Chansey (normal type)

•Julia is both a huntress and a doctor, though she doesn’t practice medicine much anymore. Thus, having a multitude of flying types and two fire types that are dogs makes sense for someone who using tracking as a part of her profession. I chose Chansey because in the anime the pokemon can often be seen assisting Nurse Joy, who is a pokemon doctor. Julia would have Rapidash because she really likes horses. There’s no other reason.

Yaling Liu: Mr. Mime (psychic/fairy type), Espeon (psychic type), Persian (normal type)

•Mr. Mime is a clown pokemon, and can create barriers, making them perfect for an act. Espeon’s psychic powers could also make them a good companion for any of Yaling’s performances. As for the Persian, it felt like something Barnum might buy for Yaling as a gift (because we all know how extra he is. I mean, the man rode an elephant to his daughter’s ballet recital).

Rose Rowan: Gastly (ghost type), Koffing & Weezing (poison type), Ekans & Arbok (poison type), Misdreavus (ghost type), Sableye (dark/ghost type), and Seviper (poison type)

•Rose is a vampire, and a very powerful one at that, so all the aforementioned types would be assets to her in battle. In the case of Misdreavus and the three snake pokemon (Seviper, and Ekans & Arbok), they’re perfect companions for someone like her (Misdreavus has a scream that could easily be on par with Rose’s banshee-like one that she uses to incapacitate enemies, and the snakes match Rose in agility).

Kasai Fujioka: Eevee (normal type) & Flareon (fire type)

•Kasai would have a Flareon because her name means fire in Japanese. Eevee super cute and fluffy, which fits with the Ouran aesthetic.

Andrea Moreno: Golem (ground/rock type) and Machoke (fighting type)

•Andrea has a PhD in bioarchaelogy, so it made sense to give her a ground/rock type, as they could help with her expeditions

Charlotte Ranford: Skitty & Delcatty (normal type), Togepi (normal/flying type), Butterfree (bug/flying type), and Luvdisc (water type)

•Charlotte would have these pokemon purely because they’re cute

Cindy Ranford: Poochyena & Mightyena (dark type)

•These pokemon are fierce and strong, as well as loyal, which makes them perfect attack/guard dogs. These traits match up with Cindy as a person, so it was an easy choice.

Alexis Ryan: Mr. Mime (psychic/fairy type), Chansey (normal type)

•Alexis is a mother (to the gang, and later to her own children) and wife. In the anime, Mr. Mime assists Ash’s mom around the house, so I figured that it could do the same for Alexis. As for Chansey, I stated previously that it helps Nurse Joy with sick pokemon, so I felt Alexis would have another maternal pokemon to help with the gang.

Monica Morgan: Jolteon (electric type), Vileplume (grass/poison), Chikorita (grass), and Growlithe (fire type)

•Monica would own these pokemon because they would assist her in catching criminals. Jolteon can do multiple moves involving electricity, Vileplume’s stun spore is highly effective, Chikorita’s vine whip can keep someone from escaping, and Growlithe is used by the police in the anime.

Ember Thorn: Vulpix & Ninetails (fire type), Houndour & Houndoom (fire/dark type), and Charizard (and its previous evolutions, Charmeleon and Charmander)

•This is pretty self-explanatory for the two of us, but since other people are gonna read this I’ll elaborate. All of them are fire types, which fits with her name and her powers. Her patronus is a dragon (not to mention that’s what her boyfriend’s name means), so it would’ve been a sin to pass up on Charizard. For the two dogs (Houndour & Houndoom), they kinda symbolize her as a person (dark because of her ancestry + her hogwarts house, and fire because of the aforementioned reasons).

Carmen Alvarez: Umbreon (dark type), Sableye (dark/ghost)

•With Carmen’s connection to Lilith, I felt that two dark types were appropriate. Sableye is more symbolic of that connection (since it kinda looks like a creature you would find in Hell), while Umbreon is a combo of cute and sweet yet dark.

Morgana Fornjotdottir: Scyther (bug/flying type), Salamence (flying/dragon), & Poochyena & Mightyena (dark type)

•Morgana would own these pokémon because they are good in battle, and as the the goddess of war, she will take use any means necessary to win.

Jennifer Stark: Mr. Mime (psychic/fairy type), Eevee (normal type)

•Like Alexis, she would use Mr. Mime to help keep the Stark Tower and the Malibu residence clean. Eevee would just be a pet.

Katherine Doe: Vaporeon (water type), Chansey (normal type), Skitty & Delcatty

•Chansey is purely to help Katherine attend to Matt, while Vaporeon and the other two are for companionship

Roxanne Swan: Growlithe & Arcanine (fire type)

•The two Pokemon make good pets, and she can always sic them on Edward or Jacob if they start going at it

Leila Miller: Umbreon (dark type)

•Honestly, I have no reason for this beyond the fact that Umbreon is categorized as a “moonlight pokemon”, and Leila has a strong association with the moon (her Chinese given name means “moon”, and she has a tattoo of one on her wrist, plus it’s also a reference to the story of the moon and the wolverine)
