I wanted to draw Gordie with his hair up and had an epiphany…

I CAN FINALLY FIGHT THE OLD MAN FOR REALSIES

[pinkhairandpokemon]

not so fun fact: flying on a corviknight without a permit in Galar is illegal. you have to take flying taxi training classes to get one

FUN fact: in the Postwick/Wedgehurst area no one gives a fuck. 90% is open field for miles so there’s not a lot of ppl to catch you and most folks who do don’t care enough to stop you anyways. Hop n’ I used to fly Jeanne and Percival out there all the time!

so we all agree that Teal Mask is the correct answer here right

(being real I mean no shade to people who prefer Isle of Armour- i’m genuinely curious as to why that’d be the case- I just greatly prefer Teal Mask myself and so far that seems to be the common opinion from my pov. might make a ramble post about it later idk)

[professor-brain-juniper]

hey by the way you know how galar has weird and fucked up weather patterns

well, today, october 15th, the entire isle of armor is in fog.

So, after a very long hiatus on Pokemon Sword but Tumblr decides my fate, I am back. However, before I jump back into that playthrough (RIP Aron...) I have a quandary about what a consensus of Pokemon lovers would consider kosher for a Youngster run.

A Youngster run entails that the player can only use the Pokemon that can be found in the routes/area available before the first Gym battle.

That said, in Sword and Shield, with the DLC, one could access the Wilds of Galar, Isle of Amor, and Crowned Tundra. While the Wilds and Isle level scale... a bit, the Crowned Tundra remains post game wilds. Except for the Raid Dens and Dynamax Pokemon being obedient if you can catch them.

My question (and subject of the poll) is should these areas be allowed? Theoetically they would make the game extremely easy as the sheer number of Pokemon can fill at least five or six boxes. Especially if one were to sit there for days on end while the weather changes and spawns new Pokemon.

Instead of trying to make the Poll Buttons into the explanation, I'll list the options with numbers and make a short argument for each case/outcome.

No to everything. There are plenty of Pokemon available in the routes leading up to the first Gym and having all those Pokemon from the Wilds, Raid Dens, and DLC is just too much. It's supposed to be a bit of a challenge and limit your choices for team members after all.

Yes, but only for the Wild Area in the base game, no DLC or Raid Dens. Those Pokemon might change every day with the weather, but at least it's still within the level range you should be in for the first Gym with a little training.

Yes, but only the base game Raid Dens, no roaming wild Pokemon or DLC. Even if you go through the Dens until you have one of each 1-star raid Pokemon that's still a low number of Pokemon to pick from.

Yes, but only the Wild Pokemon of each area, no Raid Dens or Dynamax Adventure. Since the Crowned Tundra won't let you catch anything roaming around you can only catch some of the wild Pokemon in the Wilds and Isle of Armor. Given that the Isle of Armor power scales with you, that makes it okay.

Yes, but only the Raid Dens, no roaming Pokemon or Dynamax Adventures. While you have access to a ton of Pokemon, you'll have to really work for them and only be able to go after specific ones.

Yes, everything but the Dynamax Adventures. Every Pokemon that can be caught otherwise is way below level 60-65 and so is fair game as there's still a lot of work that needs to be done with training.

Yes to everything. You have the full game and DLC so you should be able to use it however you please and by technicality it is all before the first Gym.

PLEASE REBLOG FOR A LARGER SAMPLE SIZE! PLEASE?

While I am asking a pretty big question, I won't actually follow whatever the answer is. This is just to see what the popular vote is and when I do these runs, I usually do a lot of them within the same game. I've done three of this specific run in Crystal alone due to how many options there are and it has given me so much respect and love for Donphan, Ariados, and Ursaring in those games. So all the Pokemon I can use is going to make the game fun as these Challenge runs are more like FunRuns than full Challenge runs.

Also, I apologize so hard to the following Poke-Tumblrs. I just don't know how else to get the widest sample size. If you guys don't wanna be here, to deal with the reblogs and excess notes please let me know and I'll remove you from the list.

I got too excited waiting for Pokémon Home to become compatible with SV so I decided to jump back into Sword and run around with Keldeo wherever I could!

POV: you‘re CRINGE

[dragoneyejewellery]

Hello lovely patrons!

My name is Demetria Gardien (she/her), and I alongside my fiancé Alec Sawyer (he/him) run the Dragon Eye Jewellery Store found in Hammerlocke! We have only been open for a short time but have already been blessed with many lovely patrons - however we are always happy for more, hence our decision to promote our store on this blog!

So! At our store you can not only find high-quality and ethically-sourced jewellery, but you can also have any of your own precious stones - mega stones, keystones, z-crystals or wishing pieces - refined and set in whatever way you desire! For example, my dear Whisper has a rather beautiful (if I do say so myself) headpiece to hold her Mega Stone!

The posts on this blog will largely be created and posted by myself as my fiancé is not a big fan of social media, however I may be able to convince him to answer some of your questions if demand rises high enough~

More personal information can be found under the cut!

I am originally from Geosenge town in Kalos! I alongside my family moved to Motostoke ten years ago, which is where I lived until I met my love Alec! We moved into a flat in Hammerlocke together four years ago, and finally opened our store a month or so ago!

My Pokémon are:

Shimmer the Carbink

Glimmer the Shiny Carbink

Whisper the Altaria

And Diance! (though I would ask you not to pry into why I have caught it…)

Here is my trainer card, alongside a selfie!

My fiancé Alec grew up on a ground type ranch in Stow-On-Side! He competed in the Galar Gym Challenge eleven years ago, and is also a graduate of the Master Dojo found on the Isle of Armor!

His Pokémon are:

Flashfire the Cinderace (his starter)

Overlord the Orbeetle

Treat the Alcremie

Chomper the Garchomp

Mr Wiggles the Runerigus

Ted the Rapid Strike Urshifu

Here is his trainer card and selfie!

OOC: this blog is run by the same mod as @withoutatrace-pkmn because I hate myself apparently. mod is 18, both Alec and Demetria are 25.

Current Arc: Frozen Over

Summary:

OOC: hi! I’m Wren and uHhh this is my first pkmn RP blog. Originally I was gonna make an Eternatus one but I thought it’d be more fun to make one for my OC,, but I might still make the  Eternatus one if this one goes well. my main pkmn blog is @xgoldenlatiasx (but i like and follow from @/flightmare-kid)

(update: prolly not gonna make the Eternatus blog lol. for right now at least. I have enough blogs as it is now)

also: in-character mean interactions are welcome. beat their ass

other rp blogs: @thunderblessedhero @partnersintime @scarlet-rider @pokehorsegirl @bisharpenjoyer @dragontamerhiccup @coolguyhilbert @keldeochamp1on @weirdcelebi @sapphireseafarer @justanothercastelian

Warnings: things won’t get TOO extremely dark or serious on this blog for now, there will be a lot of swearing though. Also all the characters are around 19-20, there won’t ever be anything explicit but they’ll probably make stupid dick jokes at worst. Specifically Blake and probably Auberi sometimes. I’ll tag stuff like that as #tw nsfw joke and/or #tw suggestive.

Info about my OC:

basically Blake is my protag in several pkmn games, specifically SW/SH, X/Y, and B/W! the timeline of those games’ stories are in that specific order in my OCverse. (Pretty much any semblance of a canon timeline in the games is destroyed in my OCverse, except for any games w/ sequels like Gen1/Gen2 or BW/BW2. I’ll probably put together a proper timeline eventually, but essentially it’s just in the order I played all the games. Rn that order is FRLG -> HGSS -> SM -> ORAS -> SWSH -> XY -> DPPT/BDSP -> BW -> PLA -> SV -> BW2)

Bio: Blake was born in Nuvema Town, where they lived until they were around seven before moving to Aspertia City. They lived there until they were about thirteen, before moving to Postwick in the Galar region with their mother. There, they met one of their best friends, Hop. At the time, Blake was super closed off and shy, as their social anxiety made making friends difficult. The only one they’ve ever really let their guard down with was Hop. Watching Leon’s matches on TV with Hop was what inspired them to become a trainer, though for many years they didn’t actually think it’d be possible for them- considering they came from a family who didn’t really like Pokemon, therefore they had nowhere near as much experience with them like Hop did. They feared their social anxiety would get in the way, too.

Once they were 16, they unexpectedly got their first Pokemon from Leon- a Sobble named Kappa. After getting endorsed by Leon and some encouragement from Hop, they agreed to sign up for the Gym Challenge. They had a rocky start- losing battles pretty frequently was putting a huge dent in their already low self-esteem, and it was impacting Kappa as well. But over time they learned the ropes of being a trainer and was quickly becoming a rising star amongst the Gym Challengers. They went on to stop the Darkest Day along with Hop, catch Eternatus, become champion, and earn the trust of Zacian.

During their reign as champion, they trained at the Isle of Armor and explored the Crown Tundra. These small adventures slowly helped them realize just how much pressure their title was putting on them- and finally caused them to slip up during the final match of the next year’s Gym Challenge.

After losing their title, they decided to look for a new path- which lead them to Kalos, where they helped in putting a stop to Team Flare’s plan and caught Yveltal, and eventually back to Unova, where they fought against Team Plasma alongside Reshiram. Following the defeat of Plasma, they’ve enrolled as a college student at Blueberry Academy- and have done quite a lot in the past two years, such as visiting the Paldea region and catching more Pokémon. Now, they’ve returned to Unova, and are resting after having helped in the fight against Kyurem.

Blake is also the main character in my comics, Adventures in Kalos (on my instagram @/xgolden_latiasx) and Unova Fates (on Tumblr, insta, and webtoon). This blog will probably contain spoilers for those comics!

More rules/info/explanations/etc.:

All three of these characters are friends with multiple legendaries, so if they seem overpowered to you… sorry? I’m just having fun over here. They don’t really use any of them for battle that often, though they might threaten to sic their legendary on someone as a joke (but they won’t actually). But as of right now the only legendary that’s actively with the group is Reshiram, he’s the only one who’ll get involved in whatever shenanigans/event the gang finds themselves in. (Unless I’m participating in an event from another person and they say they don’t want Reshiram involved.)

I’m relatively willing to join in on high stakes stuff as long as I feel up to it, but please ask me first if you want one of my characters to actively participate somehow.

Also, this blog runs with the idea that Rotomblr is a weird site that links other universes together. So for example say if… Kalos is blowing up or something on another person’s blog and someone tries to get Auberi involved, I’m just going to say it’s happening in a different universe. Or if a different SWSH/XY/BW/PLA protag character tries to interact.

Please also understand that I have realllllly bad social anxiety and awkwardness. I apologize if it takes me a while to respond to something, or if my replies seem short and uninterested (I promise I’m interested in the conversation I’m just bad at words). Or long and ramble-y. Please tell me to shut the fuck up if you need me to.

autism creature

Who's That Autism?

It's Omanyte!

Alright, so here's a hc I just thought up now after reading its Galar dex entry...

One aspect of omanyte that makes it unique amongst pkmn in general is that the majority of individuals in their species do not evolve. This is theorized to be because omastar, while certainly a stronge pkmn, is also far more limited in movement compared to its previous evolution and thus less likely to catch prey successfully (a fact that was once believed to be the reason why it went extinct). It is now known that omastar only emerge from particualrly long-lived omanyte and exist solely as elderly bodyguards to batches of hatchlings to protect them until they can fend for themselves

While this strategy certainly fit eloquently into the ecosystem of the past, modern wild pokemon in Galar's coasts had never developed an effective strategy for piercing the defenses of omanyte and its evolution (especially poor cramorant who end up choaking on its hard shell), thus creating an infestation of these living fossils that have just began spreading across the region.

It also doesn't help that these pkmn are surprisingly aggressive when touched, leading to many tourists and locals trying to take selfies with them for online clout getting some nasty injuries. As you can imagine, the Isle of Armor residents are terrified of these finding their way over there and causing damage to their fragile ecosystem...

[pridewishes]
