Mainline Pokémon Games Based on How Buggy They Are: A Thread

Red, Blue, & Yellow

Pretty buggy. The Butterfree line set the stage for regional bugs and emotional trauma. Everybody loves Scyther. Inspired use of Cordyceps when designing the Parasect line. Kabuto and Kabutops should have been Bug to honor trilobites for founding Arthropoda. 8/10.

Gold, Silver, & Crystal

Yes, we had Scyther, but what about second Scyther? Scizor, Heracross, and Shuckle are legends. Game Freak decided to invite arachnids (Spinarak and Ariados) to the party, truly redefining what it means to be buggy. 9/10.

Ruby, Sapphire, & Emerald

This generation is loaded with bugs! Game Freak realized their mistake in not giving the Kabutops line Bug typing, making up for it with Anorith and Armaldo (who are based on Anomalocaris). They fumble the recovery, however, in not only depriving the Flygon line of Bug typing, but forever making them second fiddle to the Salamence line. The Beautifly, Dustox, and Ninjask lines introduce some interesting approaches to Bug-type evolution. Volbeat and Illumise are there. 7.8/10.

Diamond, Pearl, & Platinum

DELELELELELEWHOOOOOOP! A smaller collection of bugs this gen, but a well-rounded one. Vespiquen slays. Scorpions get some love via Skorupi, Drapion, and Gliscor. Writing this post is making me realize that slugs, snails, and nudibranchs like the Magcargo and Gastrodon lines aren’t bugs. We grew up thinking snails were bugs, right? Anyway, Yanmega rules. 8/10.

Black, White, Black 2, White 2

Game Freak’s magna opera. Truly the buggiest games there are. While you have to wait until Pinwheel Forest to encounter your first bugs, you’re rewarded upon arrival with Sewaddle and Venipede, the larvae of the Leavanny and Scolipede lines. From there, you encounter the Crustle, Galvantula, and Volcarona lines. Game Freak has some more fun with Bug evolutions, having Karrablast steal Shelmet’s armor as they evolve into Escavalier and Accelgor (inspired by the real-world interactions between the ground beetle family Carabidae and the gastropods they feed on). Durant is our first proper ant, and we get our first (and only . . . ) legendary / mythical Bug in Genesect. These games made Bug my favorite type. 10/10.

X & Y

A big step down from the previous generation. This game hardly has any bugs. Do you like butterflies? You get a butterfly. Vivillon is a lovely butterfly that comes in all sorts of colors, but SURELY there are more bugs than that in France. 6/10.

Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon

Giant isopods! Diving bell spiders! Giraffe stag beetles! A true return to form. While the native bugs of Alola are great, we are also introduced to the ultra beasts, two of which (Buzzwole and Pheromosa) are really cool bugs. It seems they were going for wasps and bee flies when designing the Naganadel and Ribombee lines, but they don’t really work for me. Faint blemishes on an otherwise buggy generation. 8.5/10.

Sword & Shield

Centiskorch is the greatest Pokémon ever made. I have them tattooed on my arm. Blipbug is the worst Pokémon ever made. I see them in my nightmares. Interesting that they’re both Bug Pokémon, and that Game Freak really min-maxed with them. Fortunately, Blipbug evolves into Dottler and Orbeetle, who are great. Snom has a place in everyone’s heart, and Frosmoth is elegant as can be. 9.5/10.

Scarlet & Violet

I love Rellor and Rabsca! I . . . don’t really love the rest! Iron Moth and Slither Wing are great, but they’re nepo babies. Tarountula and Nymble are nice, but Spidops and Lokix leave something to be desired. Orthworm is a a big worm. At the end of the day, these games would be alright if they weren’t so wonkily coded and glitchy. Wish there was a better word for that. 7/10.

[bisexualbaker]

Imagine you've found a very specific genie that will allow you to retroactively change the typing of three Pokémon or Pokémon lines of the original 151. It's not a new regional form or a new evolution, the Pokémon themselves are retconned to have these types as early as possible in franchise history. You've used your first two choices to make Charizard Fire/Dragon and Gyarados Water/Dragon. What's your third choice?

Boost for a true Pokémon battle in the notes sample size or whatever.

Pokemon Crossbreeds: Fairyfly

Fairyfly is the name for members of the Butterfree line who had Cutiefly/Ribombee fathers. The breed was originally just called Fairy, but many people would confuse that with the fairy type, so they were recently changed to Fairfly. They got their name from their father's being fairy type and the stereotypical fairy looking like bugs in most mythology (which originally came from Ribombee, but I'll talk about that later).

Here's the opposite!

Caterpie

These Caterpie gain more vibrant colors of green and yellow, as well as some white fuzz. They're smaller, but that often makes it harder for predators to spot them or see them as food. They live in forests or meadows, eating pollen, honey, and tree sap. Their added fuzz is helpful to them as it can help them detect dangerous plants and can give mild itching.

Metapod

Not much changes with Fairyfly Metapod, with them still being almost completely stagnant, not eating, and looking a wee bit dull. But they gain the markings of Ribombee as well as their twinkling eyes.

Butterfree

Fairyfly Butterfree are smaller and have light purple fluff dotting their body. They gain the wing patterns of Ribombee and squar-shaped compound eyes. Their antenna are also pointed and large at the end instead of just having small bumps, and they lack their fangs on their snouth. They are quick flyers and are good for a speedy team. While they're not classified as a showbreed, many contesters enjoy them for their cute appearance.

[dumblemonchickenwing]

request for @acerodons (their idea or suggestion)

actually a genius idea that i never thought about, thank you (Lancer was the one who taught Rouxls about pokemon battle. Rouxls main pokemon are Butterfree, Scolipede and Wishiwashi) ([ this line is edited ]; rouxls would also have a water bug type pokemon i think)

[rasheeba]

Drawing pokemon to level up art skills. Here's the Butterfree and Beedrill evo lines!

[lily-orchard]

Okay so I kept playing around with the Infinite Fusion Generator and decided to just see what happens if I fuse G with other Pokemon I like.

G/Mismagius

I like the one on the left the most. The one on the right is just what everyone draws as a Gardevoir/Mismagius hybrid. I've seen this design so many times. The one on the right has more of an actually ghostly vibe that I... vibe... with...

You're a cunning linguist Lily /s

G/Butterfree

OH FUCK NO IT'S TERRIBLE WHAT HAVE I DONE?! It's either a pixie, or that fucking nightmare creature! NO! PUT IT BACK IN THE BOX!

G/Nidoking

I don't know which one I like better. There is the muscle-voir, which is great. But that fucking mob boss though... that's hysterical! Where did that idea come from?!

G/Milotic

Oh it's gotta be the left. The right is just... okay cute mermaid whatever. The Left is just... that's something that would come soaring out of the seaweed intending to make you it's next meal! I like any design that plays into the fact that G can be very fearsome when she wants to be.

G/Ariados

Oh... OH GOD NO! NO! KILL THAT WITH FIRE! THAT THING WOULD SCREAM AS IT CHARGES AT YOU! WHO THE FUCK LET AUSTRALIA 2 IN HERE?!

G/Kirlia

Aww, that's cute. The one on the right looks like a transitionary phase between a Kirlia and a Gardevoir. If Pokemon had up to 5 phases, that could feasibly be one.

G/Ralts

OH NO I GAVE HER ANXIETY!

G/Honedge

I'm positive the one on the right is a Digimon. I like the ruffled dress design, and I like how the one on the left us just a different kind of sword. Like they didn't overthink it. G and a Sword? That's an elegant fucking sword.

G/Doublade

This one is creepier. The left is just two swords (great job guys!) but the one on the right has a much creepier, almost huntress vibe to it.

G/Aegislash

Left: You're not even trying. Right? You are a Digimon. Not even in vibes, you are an actual Digimon. That is Seraphimon, don't even try and say otherwise.

G/Duskull

Left is generated. Right? OH SHIT! This is some MAJOR Halloween vibes! That is a creepy Pokemon! I love it! I love myself some scary banshees!

G/Dusclops

Mummy? Sorry. Mummy? Sorry. Mummy?

G/Dusknoir

This entire line they only had one idea. That's hilarious.

G/Darkrai

Oh... oh the one on the left... oh that's PERFECT! That is ULTIMATE BANSHEE! She looks like she's turning into smoke!

G/Charizard

GO TO HORNY JAIL!

G/Gengar

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

THIS IS PERFECT!

G/Meganium

This is again PERFECT!

G/Feralitgatr

The left is primal. It is return to the earth and become dinosaur. The one on the right is just... it's fine. But it's not as fucking majestic as that spiked, snarling monster there.

G/Buneary

Oh well that is just precious! They look like jammies!

Let's NOT check Lopunny.

G/Pikachu

Oh... oh no, the left one is adorable! Cosplay Pikachu has gone to the next level!

G/Jynx

I respect the designs that don't conform to the usual body shape of G. And this one is good. That could be an actual Pokemon.

G/Spiritomb

FUCK! Oh I think you're just dead if that's coming after you!

G/Ditto

*Fourty Five seconds of incoherent wheezing*

G/Weezing

OH IT'S TERRIBLE! I LOVE IT! IT'S THE MOST CURSED THING!

G/Kangaskhan

It's the little Ralts in the pouch that got me. 10/10. Absolutely perfect.

G/Vaporeon

Oh no...

G/Cofagrigus

I gotta be honest, I don't know which one I like more. They're both creepy vibes.

G/Parasect

*Gasp* OH THAT ONE ON THE LEFT LOOKS LIKE IT JUMPED OUT OF LISA THE PAINFUL! THAT IS SO FUCKING COOL!

G/Banette

Oh that's cool, the one on the left actually has the bones of a puppet or some kind of robot. That's pretty neat.

G/Sudowoodo

No. No. We're done. No. That's it. Dishonor on you, dishonor on your cow, step on a lego. Go fuck yourself.

[pokemon-ash-aus]

Okay, now its not just my grievances, but legit "what the fuck are you on about" and "What the fuck are you doing" with the TBB Writing.

( Sadly, I was Xpecting something like this. )

S3 - Howzer said something about Crosshair killing some of his squad. On screen, we all saw the episode, they were arrested. We saw no execution. I'll get to why this is an issue.

S3 - Where the fuck did you get AZI again? Did you kill Cid off screen? Wouldn't that call for a, umn, Fucking episode?

S3 - Crosshair is told of Tech's death... Off Screen. Y'know, the death of your batchmate, the closest you have to Brother-Squadmate-Best Friend Foreveries, is kinda of a big fucking deal. y'know? Big enough that, by showing the death of that Squadmate, you generally want to show the IMPACT of an IMPORTANT CHARACTER'S DEATH to the AUDIENCE. But no. There really wasn't, was there. Maybe a line here or two, but is that the kind of impact you want to the important character? 2 Lines?

Don't get me started on the "Blame the VIctim' shit. I'll get there.

S2 - Echo randomly Leaves... and then Randomly appears. So, an Important Character Leaves... Out of the blue. Y'know, if your important main character is going elsewhere, you generally want Set Up. If I can point out how Butterfree from the Old Pokemon Anime, had the saddest Epsiodes in existence--simply because he Left. But then I see Echo's and I'm going "Where the fuck did this come from", there's a Problem. And then he randomly appears again like... Why did you even leave if you were going to Come Back. Where the fuck are the conversations here, that actually walk the audience through the Character's thought processes?

S2 - Crosshair was apparently on the Platform or a Month. ... HOW? Seriously, How, that thing would sink without a ship, we saw it rise up for a ship. Kamino is infamously, in lore, for 2 decades now, Stormy as Shit. And who picked him up. Did he fucking teleport back to the Empire? Wouldn't that call for an Episode so that we can see what the fuck is going on?

S1 - Crosshair's Chip So a Tweet from Xitter, is apparently more important than placing what you want in your fucking story. And more, You show that this Chip was Enhanced, repeatedly, it GREW IN HIS BRAIN THIS WAS ON EPISODE 1, and suddenly, NOPE not there not effects no idea what you're talking about. THAT CHIP IS A BRAIN TUMOR, FOOL. So instead all those evil actions, caused yb the chip that was GROWN IN HIS BRAIN BY AT LEAST 3 SIZES, apparently were just CROSSHAIR ALL ALONG--WHAT BRAIN TUMOR. Do you see where I'm calling Victim Blaming.

S1 - Omega is Older! Cool. Where is this going to be relevant. why would we need to know? Its been over a season now, why is this fucking important. She met Emerie in late S2! Emerie is a clone now, how come she didn't know about that. Clearly this wasn't fucking important.

S1 - At no point did they talk about their missing batchmate. SO YOU'RE JUST SILENT ABOUT YOUR BATCHMATE, YOUR SUPER IMPORTANT CHARACTER YOU LITERALLY GREW UP WITH, WHO HAD YEARS WITH YOU, AND YOU'RE JUST NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT. If its not on Screen in front of the Audience, it Didn't Fucking Happen.

S1 - Episode 1 Now for the Meat. The start of all this shit. Overwhelming amount of "Guest star" characters, Guest start being "any other famous Star Wars character that isn't the Main Characters". An introduction to a kid character, one that is a Super Duper early 2000s Fanfic.net Totally Original Character Donut Steel. Who's... there to take importance away from the other characters. Repeatedly teasing the Chip, but no confrontation of Crosshair. Repeated shooting at Children, and no confrontation of Crosshair--arguably more important th an the above. That is definitely a What the Fuck Man, and it happened din the first Five minutes and nobody did jack shit. No trust or conversations between characters who are "Batch-mates"--implied in Star Wars to be the closest thing to family, and given the battlefield nature, would have to communicate behind closed doors or they might Die on Mission... No Communication has been had in 3 fucking years--expect to make Hunter or Omega right in every situation. A lot of talking, not a lot of doing or showing.

This episode only works, if you are not here for the Bad Batch. Because the writers have not done anything to the Bad Batch but cause problems that weren't needed, solutions that don't matter, because the problems are unneeded. They do not allow the BBs to Talk To Each Other (If its not on screen where the audience can see it, it didn't happen). Clear character derailment for a Fanfic.Net OC. And S3 shows evidence of AI writing. Conversations without context, shallow (if not insulting) character development in the face of Very Important Topics (Such as Family Member Death and Tumors / Drugging / Cult Manipulation), events that don't make sense in the telling.

( They have the animation budget to show things, and then they don't. They have the money to craft this, and they're not. )

S2 showed the same issue.

Unfortunately, we did see this coming since the Writing Strikes.

( Addendum, post-posting edit--sorry, I had to take these steps just in case, cos rage blinds me. )

So now, Clarification without all the swearing and general fan-rage.

They would see the victim blame himself and be blamed by the story, than take the steps to examine the problem They Clearly Showed, and instead decided to ignore the problem that Caused all this... And it is Victim blaming, because other characters have experienced the same problem, but are totally forgiven because its "not their fault".

THey would rather have characters walk in and out at random, diminishing if not removing the impact those characters have. Nothing Echo does now is of importance because they're barely showing it, and not dedicating time to Echo to build either his new posiion or his leaving--and they barely dedicated character time to Echo, by leaving him as the "bitch side character". The same goes with Tech, Tech's death has no impact anymore because they are ignoring it, maybe dedicating 1 or 2 lines and maybe a small moment of drama, but ultimately the impact is gone because they are not dedicating any real focus to it.

They would rather tell you what "actually happened"... when on review, what they just said didn't happen at all. If you do not show the audience what is in your story, then your story is literally hearsay. And in this day of AI writing, this context defiance has to be caught.

There are writing problems here that wouldn't have happened with a dedicating writing team. And there are more dedicated writers in the fandom, than there is in the Multbillion Dollar Publishing Corporation...

... and that is a Problem, because if you're being paid to do this and have a team, shouldn't this be seamless?

[drewxmay]

Redraw this picture I made in 2017 bc I liked how Butterfree looked in it. A lot of people's redraws of their old art depress me, because whatever appeal there was in the original image goes missing. SO I tried to draw this in the same "artstyle" with the thick lines and blue overlays, just with my modern artstyle!

Here's a short speedpaint of me coloring Butterfree, in case you were curious about how I pulled off this coloring style:

[headphonemouse]

It was a joke, but I thought about it and it's not much of a joke anymore that I think Metapod suits Yoo Joonghyuk, if everyone only gets one partner Pokémon.

Soft and fragile on the inside, almost indestructible on the outside, can only patiently march on through the test of time and harden its defences, occasionally struggling, occasionally shedding bits of itself, its evolution into Butterfree nods at the butterfly effect. But it's essential that his Metapod never evolves during the scenarios. The Caterpie line is supposed to evolve especially quickly but stay with me here a Metapod can only sit patiently and observe with sleepy eyes. Thematically, it is also reminiscent of his sponsor.

Some of Goh's Pokémon that Serena Could Own

Going in regional order...

Pinsir: Like in canon, she's a gentle soul. If she had a Nature, it'd be Timid. She falls for Ash's Heracross, but Heracross is more interested in plant sap.

Butterfree: He would become her main Gigantamax Pokémon if I let her have one instead of Vivillon.

Raichu: Yes, this is cliché, but I like the idea of a Raichu starring alongside Ash's Pikachu.

Misdreavus: Random fact of the post: before Mystical Fire became a TM in generation eight, Delphox and Mismagius were the only two Pokémon that could learn the move.

Absol: Serena owns one in the games. Her manga counterpart also owns one.

Altaria: Serena owns one in the games, and they were one of the Pokémon I can picture her using back then. These days, they don't Mega Evolve due to Lisia's Altaria.

Lilligant: Lilligant I consider a Pokémon Cilan would own, but I prefer Serena having the Unovan form rather than the Hisuian variant. However, I'd prefer her to have a Whimsicott.

Frogadier: Mostly due to Pokémon Masters EX and the manga letting Serena have a Greninja of her own.

Galarian Corsola: A call back to Serena missing a Johtonian Corsola in the anime.

Falinks: This one's strange, but I like the idea of her having Pokémon that don't fit the feminine or cute mold. I can see her bonding with them and helping keep them in line before catching them.

Alcremie: This is a Pokémon I wanted Serena to have before I chose Butterfree as her Gigantamax Pokémon. One of her passions is baking, so I thought she could help her out.

Cinderace, Inteleon, and Grookey: I once talked with a friend on Discord, and they pointed out that all three of the Galar Starters fit Serena in some way. Were it not for me choosing Swampert and possibly Grovyle to complete the Fire, Water, Grass trio, I'd go for it.
