Woah, you're awesome!

Update: I've played a fair bit of the pokemon card game video game for game boy color game, and I've found that Hitmonchan is the best pokemon.

It's attacks are stronger and cheaper than most evolved pokemon, and it's a fucking basic. 90% of pokemon are just straight downgrades of Hitmonchan. This game sucks.

In unrelated news, I've taken a sudden interest in designing and rebalancing pokemon cards.

this has been in my files for quite a while yeesh

I’m a big fan of both Rottmnt and Pokemon as you can obviously tell lol

So I thought it’d be cool to envision the Squirtle line in the rottmnt art style.

Squirtle’s look is solely based on his Squirtle Squad getup in the anime y’know, headband, shades, etc. I made his skin markings resemble water droplets/bubbles. Squirtle’s and Wartortle’s shell marks are just the hexagonal shapes that come from their original shell.

Wartortle’s look comes a lot from his canon personality, which he’s a bit of a ruffian. They’re known to get into fights and fisticuffs a bit and can be very aggressive, that’s why they have so many scratches and bandages and even chips in their plastron. Their skin markings come from what Wartortle is originally based on which is the minogame, a mythological turtle with seaweed and algae resembling a tail and it’s longevity. Wartortle is actually my favourite of the Squirtle line becuz I for one love the poofy/wispy ear and tail combo.

Blastoise is mainly based on his gigantamax form, cuz I needed alil bit more something to work with. Hence the white triangular markings, the turquoise eyes, the stickers that come from the gigantamax lighting. I did attempt to give him ears, but I didn’t like the way they looked so I tried to make it show with the mask instead (and his triangle marks).

So uh yeah thanks for tuning in to my fangeek time <3

Everyone makes fun of the main Pokemon anime because people keep yelling at their Pokemon to "dodge" but honestly I think that makes sense. It's the trainer equivalent to the guy yelling at the baseball player on his TV to run faster

Re-Ment Ivysaur, isn't he just the cutest <3

I absolutely LOVE the Squirtle/Wartortle illustrations by kantaro in Pokemon 151!

The Squirtle jumping so joyfully from the rock into the ocean, the colors are STUNNING! I love the contrast of the Squirtle's aqua blue framed in the vivid orange sky, the soft bit of blue reflecting in its shell and its tail just catching the sun, how little and squishy its body looks as it launches itself towards the water with such tremendous excitement!

The lineless style of the background gives me the feel of a travel poster and I sense the tropical environment around it from the rocks and trees framing the corners, the waterfall splashing with as much energy as the Squirtle!

The layered blues on the surface of the water and the bubbles rising at the corner make me FEEL the liquid rising to meet the Squirtle--I can just feel how the next moment it's going to break through and be immersed in a cool island swim!

And the Wartortle running along the sunset beach, this is somehow everything I always imagined for Wartortle! I adore the way the rich purple melts into the warm red/orange sky, the matching purple clouds and shadows in the foreground, and how the dimming sunlight glows red on Wartortle's deep blues!

I love how the yellow and orange of the sky illuminate the lapping waves, I can just feel the gentle motion of the sea at dusk. The aqua color of the ocean matches Wartortle's ears and tail and sets off the red-orange sand, I just love how the colors are here!

Wartortle looks so round and squishy, I love its happiness as it goes frolicking through the shallows, chasing the bubbles caught in the setting sun! The shine and deep shadow on its shell give it an almost jewel texture like real tortoise shell; I love the silhouetted splash Wartortle leaves as it goes running across the shore. It's so full of energy and delight at the end of a gorgeous day! The colors in these are SO vivid and harmonized and the style is so cute and bursting with energy and joy. I just LOVE it (also Squirtle is my starter)

I DID IT!! I'm a champion now!!

I got a recording of the battle so if you want to see that it's under the cut!

[As the video begins to play you see Petal and Livewire sat watching the battle Petal turns the camera on with her vines and then spins the camera around to let you see the battlefield.

As the Rotom Drone flies around the battlefield it says, "Both trainers can use 6 pokemon, switching out is allowed and any amount of Mega Evolution, Z moves and Terestalization can be used, battle begin!"

"I look forward to seeing what you can do" Geeta says calmly, "Now go Espathra!" 'Let's do this Ivy!" Jay calls back. Both Pokemon emerge from their Pokeballs and ready themselves for the other to make a move, "Shadow Claw!" Jay calls, "Use reflect!" Geeta counters. Ivy jumps towards Espathra however a wall of light appears in front of her knocking her back across the battlefield, "Now use Quick Attack!" Geeta calls, "Ivy get up and use Leaf Blade!" Espathra runs towards Ivy quicker than the camera could pick up but if you zoom in enough you can tell that right as Ivy is about to be hit she closes her eyes and slashes forward hitting Espathra knocking her across the battlefield, Espathra was weakened but was still able to continue fighting, "Espathra return for now" Geeta calls returning Espathra to her Pokeball, "Avalugg Use Crunch now!" Geeta orders sending Avalugg out of her Pokeball, "Meet it in the middle with Lunge!" Jay calls, both Pokemon charge towards each other, Ivy jumps towards Avalugg at the last second hitting her directly on the top of her head but the attack seems to barely scratch Avalugg, Avalugg then grabs Ivy with her jaw and throws Ivy all the way across the battlefield, "Avalugg's tough but slow, so let's use our speed!" Jay tells Ivy, "Use Leaf Blade repeatedly!" Ivy sprints towards Avalugg repeatedly hitting part of her body and moving before Avalugg is able to face her, "It's a good strategy but it won't work" Geeta says calmly, "Earthquake now!" Avalugg hits the ground causing an earthquake all around the battlefield, Ivy gets the lower half of her body stuck in the ground, "Use Avalanche!" Ivy tries to get out but before she can do anything she gets crushed by huge amounts of snow. When the dust clears you can see that Ivy has been knocked out, "Ivy return" Jay says retracting Ivy to her Pokeball, "Great job out there, have a good rest"

"Viv and you're up!" Jay calls throwing her Thwackey out of her Pokeball, "Set up Grassy Terrain with your ability!" Viv nods towards Jay then starts drumming out a melody on the battlefield causing grass to spread everywhere, "Use Earthquake once more!" Geeta calls, "Use Swords Dance!" Jay orders, Avalugg hits the ground causing an earthquake however it barely reaches the half way point of the battlefield, "The power of Earthquake and Bulldoze are weakened by Grassy Terrain, after what happened to Ivy I knew I needed a way to counter Earthquake" Jay explains while Viv gets her second attack boost from using Swords Dance again, "Very clever, I'm impressed" Geeta says getting more serious, "Avalugg use Avalanche!" "Use Grassy Glide repeatedly!" Jay counters, Viv launches towards Avalugg even quicker than Espathra's Quick Attack earlier, Avalugg shrugs off the attack and uses Avalanche however Viv dodges using Grassy Glide again to get behind Avalugg, Viv then uses Grassy Glide again to get on top of Avalugg, "Wood Hammer let's go!" Viv pulls her sticks out of her hair and both sticks turn into green glowing hammers, "Shake her off!" Geeta calls but despite Avalugg's attempts Viv wasn't going anywhere, Viv then hits Avalugg repeatedly with Wood Hammer thanks to her attack boosts from Swords Dance the attacks were doing heavy damage to Avalugg, "Use Avalanche!" Geeta shouts, Viv jumps off of Avalugg's back before she gets hit causing Avalugg to crush himself knocking her out. "Che pin!" Petal cheers from behind the camera, "Return! Veluza go!" Geeta calls sending Avalugg back into her Pokeball and throwing Veluza out of her's. "Viv is extremely quick but let's see how her speed compares to Veluza's" Geeta says, "Circle around her with Aqua Jet now!" "Stay away from her, use Grassy Glide!" Jay calls, both pokemon speed around the battlefield at ridiculous speeds, "Get in close and use Ice Fang!" Geeta orders, "Meet it in the middle with Wood Hammer!" Jay counters, both Pokemon collide with each other head on, Veluza gets the first hit in launching Viv away before she could even get a chance to attack, "Viv can you continue?" Jay asks running over, "Thwack, key key" Viv says getting up and smiling at Jay, "Return for now, ok?" Jay says, "Key? Thwackey!" Viv protests, "She's too quick, this won't end well for us but I promise you'll get your turn later" Jay explains holding her hand out in a fist for a fist bump "Thwack Thwackey" Viv agrees and gives Jay a fist bump before returning to her pokeball,

"Copper let's do this!" Jay says throwing out Copper's Pokeball, "Get in close and use Nuzzle!" "Use Psycho Cut repeatedly!" Geeta retaliates, Veluza starts launching Psycho Cuts towards Copper but she narrowly dodges all of them while getting closer to Veluza, she eventually gets all the way up to her then jumps towards her using Nuzzle, paralyzing Veluza, "Now use Thunderbolt!" Jay commands, "Get away with Aqua Jet!" Geeta commands but Veluza isn't quick enough to avoid Copper's attack, Veluza was paralyzed and weakened but was still able to battle, "Veluza keep her away and keep using Psycho Cut!" Geeta orders, Copper attempts to run towards Veluza but every time she makes it close she gets hit, "Copper use Dazzling Gleam!" Copper creates a blinding light using Dazzling Gleam making the entire video go white however you can hear Copper using Thunderbolt and by the time the light clears up you can see that Veluza has been knocked out, "Very Impressive, you're a very strong trainer" Geeta says to Jay, "Espathra go!" "Copper use Dazzling Gleam!" Jay orders, "Espathra use Dazzling Gleam as well!" Geeta retaliates, blinding light takes over the camera once more by the time it clears you can see both Pokemon haven't moved whatsoever, "Use Thunderbolt!" Jay orders, "Use Reflect!" Geeta counters, Copper's attack bounces off of Espathra's Reflect, "Quick Attack now!" Geeta orders, before Jay can even call out her next command Copper had been knocked off of the battlefield and into one of the pillars, Petal turns the camera around letting you see Copper and Jay, "You did great buddy, we'll win this for you" Jay says picking Copper up and lightly tapping her Pokeball against the top of her head.

"Pumpkin, it's up to you!" Jay says sending Pumpkin out of his Pokeball, "Use Fire Blast!" "Dodge it!" Geeta calls, Espathra narrowly dodges out of the way, "Now use Stomping Tantrum!" Jay calls, Pumpkin hits the ground repeatedly kicking up pieces of ground that get launched towards Espathra with what seems to be more power than an Earthquake knocking Espathra out, "Knowing I would avoid your Fire Blast letting you use a double power Stomping Tantrum was an incredibly smart idea" Geeta compliments, "Espathra return, Gogoat you're up, "Use Zen Headbutt!" Both trainers call, Pumpkin and Gogoat run at each other headbutting each other with psychic energy on impact, Both Pokemon emerge almost unscathed by the other's attack, "Use Play Rough!" Geeta calls, "Use Fire Blast!" Jay counters, Gogoat dodges to the side of the Fire Blast and attacks Pumpkin with a flurry of kicks, before using his mouth to throw Pumpkin to the side, "Stomping Tantrum now!" Jay orders, "Use Bulk Up!" Geeta counters, Gogoat uses Bulk Up to increase his defence and attacking power which allows him to take the Stomping Tantrum attack extremely well, "Now use Zen Headbutt!" Geeta adds, "Keep him back with Leaf Storm!" Jay counters, Pumpkin tries to keep Gogoat away but Gogoat breaks through and delivers an extremely powerful Zen Headbutt to Pumpkin knocking them out, "Have a rest bud, Viv it's your turn again!" Jay says throwing Viv out of her Pokeball, "Set up Grassy Terrain again!" Viv starts drumming out a melody causing grass to spread around the battlefield once more, "Now use Grassy Glide!" "Gogoat use Play Rough!" Viv and Gogoat sprint towards each other, both of them go directly through the other using their attacks, knocking them both out, "Return!" Both trainers call

"Lily let's go!" Jay says sending Lily out of her Pokeball, "Kingambit, it's your turn" The moment Kingambit lands it seems to get a dramatic boost of energy, "That's the Supreme Overlord ability, Kingambit becomes stronger for each one of my pokemon that has been taken out before it" Geeta explains, "If you're bringing out your trump card here then so am I!" Jay says rolling her sleeve up slightly to reveal her Key Stone, "Lily let's go all out together, Mega Evolve!" Bright lights connect Lily and Jay together before a massive explosion of light happens around Lily when the light clears you can see that Lily has mega evolved "Kingambit use Stone Edge!" Geeta orders, huge blue stalagmites emerge from the ground heading towards Lily, "Cut them up with Rapid Spin!" Jay orders, Lily spins around cutting up every single one of the stalagmites, "Now use Dragon Pulse!" Lily launches three purple beams out of her cannons towards Kingambit, "Use Iron Head to protect yourself!" Geeta calls, Kingambit turns his head to Steel and absorbs most of the damage, Jay starts smiling as she says, "Throw the Pieces of the stalagmites into your Dragon Pulse!" Lily stops using her arm cannons and throws the pieces of the stalagmites into her upper Dragon Pulse launching them into the floor around Kingambit, "Impressive, it's just like using Stealth Rock" Geeta says, "Thank you, we trained for awhile to come up with this move" Jay replies, "Lily use Aqua Jet!" "Kingambit wait for it to come close then use Kowtow Cleave!" Geeta retaliates, right before Lily lands her hit Kingambit uses his huge horn to throw her across into the stones, "Lily can you continue?" Jay shouts, "Blast, Blastoise" Lily replies getting up, "Use Hydro Pump now!" Jay orders, "Use Iron Head to block it" Geeta counters, Lily launches water out of all three of her cannons Kingambit blocks the attack however he gets pushed back into some of the stones knocking him off balance causing him to stop using Iron Head allowing Lily to easily push him across the battlefield with Hydro Pump knocking him into even more stones damaging him even further, knocking Kingambit out. "Glimmora go, use Sludge Wave!" "Launch yourself into the air with Hydro Pump!" Jay orders as a sea of poisoned water appears on the battlefield, "Now use Tera Blast!" Geeta says, before Jay could react a massive beam of light comes from Glimmora launching Lily into the ceiling and causing her to fall back down into the sludge knocking her out, "Return!" Jay calls as the sludge disappears, "You did great out there, thank you"

"Vocal it's me and you now buddy, let's become champions!" Jay shouts as she throws Vocal out of their Pokeball, Geeta pulls her Tera Orb out and says, "I believe it's time I use this" "We'll do the same" Jay says pulling her own Tera Orb out, Both Pokemon become covered in crystals and when they emerge you can see that Vocal has become a ground type, and Glimmora has become a pure rock type, "Vocal use Quiver Dance!" Jay orders, "Use Tera Blast!" Geeta counters, after getting the stat boosts from Quiver Dance Vocal flies out of the way to avoid the attack, "Use Dazzling Gleam!" Geeta adds, "Look away and keep flying!" Jay orders the video turns completely white once again, by the time it clears you can now see that Sludge Wave has been used by Glimmora and Vocal is in the air, "Vocal use Alluring Voice!" Jay calls as the sludge disappears, Vocal let's out a soothing cry making Glimmora drop his guard, they then let out an extremely loud harsh noise damaging Glimmora and surprising both him and Geeta, "Use Revelation Dance now!" Jay calls, Vocal drops down and spins around before hitting the ground causing the ground to crack and a beam of light to come out of the ground under Glimmora launching him directly into the ceiling and crash back down into the ground. "Glimmora is unable to battle, Jay is the winner!" The Rotom Drone announces,

"We did it!" Jay shouts as she runs over to Vocal and pulls her into a hug before lifting them into the air and spinning them around. The video ends right as Jay and Geeta begin talking]

( what would you do if you woke up in the middle of the night and iono and like 3 magnemite cameramen (cameramon?) were looming over you with a bunch of random props because she was trying to do her own version of that one segment they used to have on the icarly website that was them all just bothering spencer in his sleep and seeing what he did because it was funny. please discuss. )

[akkivee]

i bumped into a pokemon fusion maker and have been having a lot of fun lol

[fierykitten2]

You know what would be funny? Beating the Blastoise raids with Medusa the Fighting Tera type Koraidon in Scarlet and Lucifer the Electric Tera type Miraidon in Violet. I think we’re gonna have to hope that Metal Sound works though

[goldenmimic]

Cube...

[red-dragon-archfiend]

Another Pokemon hot take for you: Charizard receiving two separate Mega forms in gen 6 was a blatant attempt to sell more merchandise and get people hyped for gen 6 after gen 5 was a relative failure, but the results did make Charizard actually really cool as a competitive Pokemon and both forms look sick

[jaykatt]

day 10 of hatching eggs for a shiny:

this idea may have been a mistake

[fusionflare]

If you cant tell I love pokémon that classify both as Units BUT ALSO Little guys. For example:

[sonofsin]

went for that walk and I wish I hadn't tbh. I thought getting outside and getting a bit of fresh air an exercise would feel good, but I'm just sweaty, tired, and in pain

[upcastrhino]

I love my job, but the amount of giant pissing turtles I have to move on a daily basis is so tiring.
