Yknow, it took a very long time for me to realise what the title of pokemon x y (and z) meant bc up until then they were all pretty solid counterparts. Red, blue and yellow, the primary colours. Gold, silver and crystal, the luxurious. Ruby, sapphire and emerald, not only precious gems but the rgb colours (and just colour matching the legendaries too). Diamond (the classic ‘most valuable’ stone), pearl (the classic ‘most valuable’ biological ‘stone’), and platinum (the classic ‘most valuable’ metal). Black and white.
After x and y we of course had sun and moon, sword and shield and finally scarlet and violet (infrared and ultraviolet, the two ends of the colour spectrum. The only reason they wouldn’t have called it pokemon infrared and ultraviolet is bc pokemon red already exists and ppl would think it was a gen 1 remake, and ultra sun/moon also already exists).
But back when x and y came around, and I thought ‘it’s just letters, I know that the legendaries sort of look like them but if it’s opposites then shouldn’t it be a and z?’ (Cool how they brought that back with legends z-a)
And it took me way too fucking long to realise that x y and z are the three digital planes to symbolise Pokémon’s first mainline 3D game. Idk I just thought that was neat.

Links to each song below the cut:
(I couldn’t post every version of each song due to Tumblr’s ten link limit, so I decided to only post the original of each version rather than the arrangements from the remakes. The chiptune stuff tends to be creepier anyways)
Lavender Town:
Unown Radio Transmission:
Drought:
Hall of Origin:
N’s Room (B2W2 version):
(The original from BW was not considered due to being too different in tone)
Scary House:
(If there are creepy tracks in SwSh/SV feel free to share them; I have not beaten either and couldn’t find any standout examples from some basic searches on YouTube)

Every Pokémon is someone’s favourite. But which Pokémon is the most favourite? That’s what we’re gonna find out with the power of Tumblr polls. Every day I will post a new poll of 10 Pokémon, going in numerical order, beginning with Bulbasaur, and ending with Miraidon (or whatever ends up being the last Pokémon in the Dex by the time I get there). Each poll will be up for 1 week for the maximum amount of time to receive votes. Once all 1008+ Pokémon have been featured, I will take the winner of each poll and begin again, until only 1 Pokémon remains. So please, join me, and find out which Pokémon is the very best, like no one ever was.
