#we have Rowan the Cyndaquil

[meowsticmarvels]

been playing some of rescue team dx again since my old file got deleted (weird switch data transfer shit; im playing as a Cyndaquil and my partner's a Treecko). here are some things id like to note have happened so far

my rescue team's name is Team Transgender. not only does that mean basically every pokemon part of the team is trans but also that some npcs are like "Is this where Transgender is based?" or the game's like "[Pokemon] has felt a kinship with Transgender..." it honestly enhances the experience

the sheer amount of pecha and rawst berries ive found and never needed

can't remember what pokemon wanted it but one request was for something called a Famous Stone. help

somehow got not one, not two, not three, not four, but FIVE Ledyba to follow me in one mission. only 4 of them joined because I already had one but the extras all have names like "jason derulo" or "Among Us"

also all of them helped in a mini boss battle. the entire fucking hive got their asses

"HE HAS THEM? FEET?"

me making a Poochyena do a dojo thingy in the Dark Maze but realizing said Poochyena does not have a single dark move

MULTIPLE Wurmple requests that are almost identical

me using a Wigglytuff orb then realizing I don't have enough money for what i wanted anyway so just wasting it

imagining humanized designs of the ones that are like basically ocs but not drawing them

having a Beldum and a Baltoy tag along and the Beldum says they'll defeat any baltoy and the baltoy says they'll defeat any beldum. both of them ended up joining the team btw

i threw a reviver seed and it just hit the wall and landed exactly where I threw it from. yay!

everyone just throwing gravelerocks at far away enemies the MOMENT i register them

I heard someone say Pokemon and DeNA are running out of characters to add to Pokemon Masters EX. I don’t think so! Here’s the characters we still don’t have, and for most potential Pokemon they’d have!

Kakeru (Chase): Pikachu Ayumi (Elaine): Eevee Shin (Trace): Cubone-->Marowak Minaki (Eusine): Suicune, Drowzee-->Hypno, Haunter Gantetsu (Kurt): Slowpoke Utsugi (Elm): Chikorita, Totodile, Cyndaquil, Togepi Tessen (Wattson): Manectric Adan (Juan): Walrein Kogomi (Greta): Breloom Heath (Tucker): Swampert Ukon (Spenser): Slaking, Kyogre Jindai (Brandon): Regirock Lila (Anabel) Snorlax, Alakazam Homura (Tabitha): Camerupt Ushio (Matt): Sharpedo Izumi (Shelly): Sharpedo Odamaki (Birch): Zigzagoon, Poochyena, Treecko, Mudkip, Torchic Tougan (Byron): Bastiodon Kurotsugu (Palmer): Dragonite, Heatran Dahlia: Ludicolo Kate (Argenta): I have no idea Gen (Riley): Riolu-->Lucario Miru (Mira): Kadabra Baku (Buck): Claydol Pluto (Charon): Rotom Nanakamado (Rowan): Turtwig, Piplup, Chimchar, Staraptor, Mesprit, Arceus Lenora: Watchog Drayden: Druddigon Benga: Shiny Dratini-->Dragonair-->Dragonite or Shiny Gible-->Gabite-->Garchomp Curtis: East Shellos-->Gastrodon Yancy: West Shellos-->Gastrodon Gorm: Cofagrigus Bronius: Amoongus Rood: Swoobat Zinzolin: Cryogonal Ryoku: Scolipede Anthea: Gothitelle Concordia: Gardevoir Juniper: Minccino-->Cinccino Sannah (Shauna): Goodra Tierno: Crawdaunt Trovato (Trevor): Florges Astera (Olympia): Meowstic Malva: Pyroar Dracéna (Drasna): Dragalge Méridia (Dana): Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Regirock, Regice, Registeel Aurore (Morgan): Virizion, Terrakion, Cobalion AZ: Floette Sina: Glaceon Dexio: Espeon Millie (Emma): Espurr Xanthin (Xerosic): Malamar Ancolie (Aliana): Mightyena Brasénie (Bryony): Liepard Cyane (Celosia): Manectric Myosotis (Mable): Houndoom Illima: Smeargle Mohn: I have no idea Phyco: Guzzlord Dulse: Kartana Soliera: Xurkitree Zossie: Blacephalon Faba: Hypno Wicke: I have no idea Burnet: I have no idea Milo: Eldegoss Kabu: Centiskorch Opal: Alcremie Sordward: Doublade Shielbert: Falinks Mustard: Cubfoo Klara: Galarian Slowbro Avery: Galarian Slowking Peony: Aggron Peonie: Tyrantrum Oleana: Garbodor Magnolia: Polteageist, Dubwool

Look at all that! and that’s without Legends Arceus and Scarlet and Violet. There are so many missing units! And I can think of more!

I’m still surprised we don’t have all the Gym Leaders yet in gens 3-7.

Pokemon Crystal "Free to Play" Run Part 1

Time to give this a try. I remember very little about the specifics and the hidden secrets of Generation II, so... um... this may be a doomed run. We'll see.

Here we go. No glitches, no catching any Pokemon whatsoever, and no buying Pokemon either. Free to play.

Once again, I don't have enough spaces, and don't have access to numbers so... FTP again.

... Who the hell is this? Her daughter is adamant about becoming Prof. Elm's assistant? ... Was that ever brought up in Pokemon Special? Hmm. I can probably use this in an upcoming Short.

There's some asshole looking into the lab and no one ever notices him. ... This lab has one entrance, and an assistant who wanders around that only entrance doing literally nothing else. How did this asshole get in and steal a Pokemon? ... I guess through the window??

Heh. Unlike Prof. Rowan who just stares at you, this dude begs you for help. "Please, we're drastically understaffed because we can't afford any helpers! You're not getting paid for this either!"

"Partner" my ass. ... Oh wait, Free to Play run. ... Er... Yes. Very important. Especially considering the later parts... Taking Cyndaquil for now and will deeply regret my decision at the end of this post.

So this is what a battle looks like from an outsider's perspective. ... So... how do the battles in my Yellow version runs look? "That dude's Pikachu is... er... blue."

Why does my character have a blue Pokeball? Did I merge a Pokeball with a Squirtle already? And this asshole's arm is... kind of messed up. Either his hand is as long as his forearm, or his arm can reach past his knee.

"My name is ???" ... Sure. I didn't ask for his name or his life aspirations, but I guess he's lonely. Well, f*ck him.

Er... I think there's a dude named Ricky in here who wants to trade you an Onix for a Bellsprout. But that requires me to CATCH a Bellsprout, so... nope.

... Huh. That's actually a thing. I thought the mandatory Trainer's School was given that name in Pokemon Special only. I guess the "orphanage" part is new. ... Orphanage... I miss the kids in Morning Glory...

... Where is the teacher? Did he f*ck off and abandon the class? There are like 12 seats here and only 4 kids, 2 of which are playing Pokemon games in the back. ... Wait, what?

I thought there was a path around the dollar sign. But I guess that's HGSS only?

Your dad's "cherished bird Pokemon" are just random sh*t he found in the Viridian Forest.

Nope. F*ck off. ... Oh wait, Free to Play... er... I mean... Yes!

Hey, this is guy who, back in the days, everyone thought was referring to Pokerus that you can only find in the grass around him. ... Back in those days, people also thought that shiny Pokemon were extremely rare variants that appeared in specific places. ... I found Pokerus in my actual Gold version. And Ruby. ... And then I spawned it in Silver! See my GSC Joy Run posts for that shenanigans.

... Sheesh. Sorry for being broke. There's a reason why this is a Free to Play run...

Hey! A gift Pokemon! I wonder what's inside? It better be good! Because I am very lacking in the Pokemon department!

This is Bill's mother. And... So Bill's father is a gambling addict? Hmm. Did I know that already?

Another "gift" Pokemon! It's like a quest delivery weapon/armor in Skyrim or something. As long as I don't complete the quest...

... It's a "gift", but... it ain't good. But... well... I effectively robbed this guy. I can't exactly complain about the quality of the stuff I stole. At least it can use Fly probably. Oh, it has mail. ...

Whoops. My bad. I do not work for the post office, so this is not my responsibility.

... I have to face Whitney very soon. And without a Geodude/Graveler for once. A Spearow and Togepi/Togetic do not help me against that. So... er... this Odd Egg had better hatch into something good!

... ... ... ... -_- ... ... ... ...

Odd Egg? Never heard of it. I only ever had my starter, Togepi Egg, and the "gift" Spearow. ... I just can't get away from that li'l abomination...

I guess Quilava has to solo Whitney... through Attract and Rollout. ... Hmm...

It's cheese time.

Just like Misty's Starmie, Whitney's Miltank is no match for this finely curated, moldy, nasty-ass fromage. Now there should be no more problems!

... So here I am in Ecruteak. And... This is it, huh? ... The first Water Stone you can get is in Cerulean Cape, so... I physically can't progress past Olivine City. Nothing here gets Surf. ... Um... so... I guess I absolutely needed to have picked Totodile at the start of the game. This run was doomed the moment I picked Cyndaquil. "Truth is, the game was rigged from the start."

... F*ck. This is like those very old text based adventure games where you could have f*cked yourself over at the start of the game and wouldn't find out until like... 10 hours in.

Well then. Part 1 is a proof-of-concept run. I'll restart with Totodile for Part 2. And looking at this right now, my team by the end is going to be...

Feraligatr (Surf, Whirlpool, Cut), Fearow (Fly), Togetic (Flash), Espeon, Dragonite (Waterfall), and... something other than Pichu from that Daycare random egg. I wonder if Togetic can learn Fly. If that's the case, I don't need the Fearow and I can replace it with a Hitmonlee/chan/top. ... If I remember where Tyrogue is, anyways. Might be that cave right next to Ecruteak...

Well, next time.

Pokemon Legends Arceus: because i sold my soul to nintendo long ago

Truth be told I preordered this game the moment it was available and downloaded it ASAP. And then proceeded to not touch it. ADHD brain. Lack of time in between other things. Part of me screaming that I should finish a game before starting another. The stars weren't right. Couldn't do it. Stars, man. Stars.

But today my lifelong love has returned to me, and today we fight to the death!

i haven't even opened the game yet ftr. but i HAVE closed the one i'd been playing, so i'm ready to go.

Pokemon Heartgold Nuzlocke Masterpost

Hey everyone! So I decided that now that I'm consistently trying Pokemon nuzlocks, I may as well record my progress somewhere. So here we go!

The other day I began my Pokemon Heartgold Nuzlocke, and I chose a Cyndaquil as my starter. I named him Trident, probably referencing the gum for some reason. Then we were tasked to go to Mr. Pokemon's house to retrieve an egg. On our way home, however, we ran into a red haired bleephole. Apparently he had just stolen a starter from Professor Elm, and nobody knew who he was, but! After we battled he dropped his id. Who names their child One-Eye?

Pretty soon we were gifted pokeballs, and after an extremely long catching tutorial I was able to catch a Rattata named Mika, a Geodude named Wayward, a Spinerack named Hippo Doll, a Zubat named Fries, and a Bellsprout named Giddy on my way to Violet City.

With Trident, I would be safe for a good portion of the early game, being able to counter the Bellsprout Tower and Bugsy, the bug type gym leader. I was feeling pretty confident, and thought that it wouldn't hurt to go to the Ruins of Alph and catch an Unown. Who knows, maybe I'll get a type typical for the later game, am I right?

Almost immediately I found one, and it was the letter A. I named it Ayyyy. Unfortunately, on my way out I had really bad luck. A letter E appeared, and before I knew it, a super effective hidden power had killed Trident and Wayward, my Cyndaquil and my Geodude. On my way out of the cave, Mika the Rattata and Giddy the Bellsprout died because they weren't fast enough to run from the fights. They were level two and level four, while Unown spawn at the level five. That ten minute excursion had nearly wiped me out. All I have left is a Zubat with no flying type moves, a Spinerak I haven't even touched, and an Unown with a move that I didn't even know the typing of.

Luckily, Johto is really giving with how many routes you can access, so I was able to catch a Ghastly in Bellsprout Tower which I named Heat Gun and a Wooper in Route 32 named TUT (yeah, like the crying emote). I also grinded Fries and Hippo Doll until they could consistently beat the trainers in Bellsprout tower. I also learned that Ayyyy had hidden power flying, which was SUPER HELPFUL. Eventually we beat the old guy at the top and then we beat Falkner, the gym leader of Violet City.

When leaving the gym, we get a call from Professor Rowan saying that his assistant is here to drop off the mystery egg. Apparently there's a Pokemon inside, and I get to keep it! I didn't need to worry about replacing a Pokemon with the egg (since all of my other Pokemon died to the freaking letter E) and continued on my adventure.

Since I had already caught Wooper for Route 32, I didn't need to worry about an encounter, so I just went up and down grinding trainers and trying to get my zebra a freaking flying type move. Unfortunately, I had accidently one shot an Onix, my encounter for Union Cave. I haven't told this story on tumblr before, but I think I'm cursed when it comes to catching Onix. Onix was the first shiny I had ever seen, but since I was like 12 and I didn't know what a shiny was, I wasn't that upset when my Gardevoir one shot it with psychic. Whatever the case, I'm cursed.

The route after Union Cave us still Route 32, so I couldn't get an encounter there either. I did, however, pass right by the slowpoke well, Azalea towns gym, and even Kurt's house to catch a well invited Oddish named CruiseShip.

I switched out Ayyyy for CruiseShip and decided to backtrack to the beginning of the game. I sprinted around town until the Egg hatches into Togepi named Magic8Ball. I got the exposure from Elm and collected everything hidden behind rock smash rocks. I found a helix fossil in one! May lord Helix bless this playthrough. Our eyes are watching, God.

After defeating Team Rocket in the Slowpoke Well, I picked up a Slowpoke named AtomicHart (I should specify that when I choose nicknames I literally pick the most fun word out of a statement I had just heard) and let him sit in the box.

Time for Bugsy! He was a lot harder than I thought... I had trained up Fries up to level 17, when she learned wing attack, so I had assumed that she was going to be mvp during the battle. She would have been! But then Bugsy's Scyther leered four times, and a critical hit from a focus energy killed Fries in one hit. Scyther killed Magic8Ball soon afterwards...

I added Ayyyy and AtomicHart on my team, and then forgOT THAT I HAD TO BATTLE ONE-EYE RIGHT AFTERWARDS! so HERE I GO I GUESS. WISH ME LUCK.

That rival battle specifically had a personal history of being one of the toughest battles I've struggled with. I expected a death so much, but... it never came. I won.

It's ironic that I didn't lose a single Pokemon during a rival point but I did lose half of my total encounters so far to a Scyther and a few freaking Unown.

Anyway, that's as far as I am so far. I saved after the One-Eye fight and it's almost time to continue, where my worst opponent so far has yet to come...

[silvermuffins]

Pokemon Legends Arceus: please don't eat me

If I recall, I ran off to D&D when I was waiting for an Alpha Pokemon to turn around. I tried to battle a wild one, it was a level 40 Luxio. no thank you.

i am Ready to explore the wilds

starting to feel like i Have to battle the Alpha to get the satchel, which is likely how the satchel got lost to begin with. maybe we come back later.

night is falling again aaaaaaa

starting to realize why dress like ninjas

ooooh okay i see the pros and cons of the crafting table and portable kit now

cyndaquil can evolve!

oh that parasect sounds like a demon

oh fuck there's paras around here i have hEARD THINGS--

TRYING TO KILL PARASECT SEND HELP

right okay back to camp to put some stuff in a box, every time i THINK im gonna make progress.....

paras ARE scary in this game

i am in a new place at night and this buneary is trying to drown itselfj

i kind of like that i'm not dignifying this kid with clearing up the misunderstanding

Suddenly Irida

i can't believe laventon's solution is "start a food fight with a demigod"

ooooh new clothes! am now a fancy ocean lass

wyrdeer! LET ME RIDE YOUUU

nobody gonna let me forget im an isekai huh

btw i have some, um, concerns, that so far the two pokemon explicitly identified as descended from ones who got some divine power straight from almighty Sinnoh....are two of the new species that to the best of my knowledge go extinct between now and mainline pokemon

anyway that is a weird ass way to hold a flute, also where are the holes

he gave me a Mind Plate!

holy fuck psyduck gone psycho

oh now irida wants to fight me. okay.

....glaceon. hm. okay.

okay.......let's see if i can handle kleavor

ooof okay i got chopped a few times but i did it on my first go! And got another plate

eeeeee this game just makes me so happy

volo why do you know things

he has cynthia's passion for old things

tbh volo sounds like a student of Night Raven College

....i'm not 100% sure when new sidequests become available. gamefreak wouldn't put missable ones in, would they? surely not. surely not....

man kamado is so fuckin cool

also it's a treat to meet ancestors of folks. like, cyllene and cyrus, kamado and rowan, volo and cynthia, mai and the one girl from victory road, those are all painfully obvious. but lian was clearly an ancestor of clay and dude that's a whole different generation!

oop suddenly horror movie vibes. who is this child,

vessa has been waiting for me. stranger danger,

EVERYTHING IS ECHOING WEIRDLY AND I DON'T LIKE IT

girl i already have a mission from god who ARE you

i should get to go somewhere new soon.....i hope.....

....kneeeew it. beautifred evolved into cascoon.....

people keep tryna tell me i should be in the security corps not the survey corps

to which my brain inevitably goes SIE SIND DAS ESSEN UND WIR SIND DER JAEGER

ground types.....sir i have several geodude please take one

okay minigame time!!!

that one's fun tbh.....annnd that's all the village wisps

doodedoo sidequests and commentary....

o. oh. i see now.

giratina what the FUCK

i got some shit tho! wish i'd gone in with more space in my satchel...

back to the village to hand in a couple of sidequests and then i think i might check out the new field....

the fuck was with the mirror in Sanqua's room...

oh that's wholesome as fuck

Beauregard and his cascoon are adorable too

i want more space in my satchel but ouch my wallet!

let's check out the new area and pray not to die

on the one hand i love that this game is less menu navigation and more buttons doing things....on the other it's so damn hard to get used to

anyway yes please new base camp please

and now i go back and head into the ruins!

old lady with leaf umbrella. not sure if she's someone's ancestor but i'm pretty sure i've heard of something from Japanese folklore with the leaf umbrella thing? specific to hokkaido? am i remembering wrong?

anyway she called me a bully. kamado already called her closed-minded

volo's togepi's accuracy wasn't reduced at all by two mud slaps so it's time to overwhelm with agile style aqua jets

Miss Fortunes......oh my god

calaba is 99?!

anyway time to hunt down some thieves

ancestors of candice, saturn, and.....someone else?

Coin down. Fragment get. Ladies, you three are lovely and I'd be happy to join you or just, help you out, but I have a mission from god that happens to align with the Galaxy Team so, you know, I'm taking the offer that puts food in my mouth and a roof over my head.

also i need to find cherrim somewhere

old lady learned???? that's how you know this is fiction

okay time to do the next bit, with ursaluna, and hope i'm not underleveled because hooboy EVERYTHING hits like a truck? my level seems to be about right but god my pokemon keep getting hit hard

k yeah that was.....relatively easy but ursaluna still hit like a truck. which i expected, but also regular pokemon have been hitting like trucks.

yaaaay i get ursaluna at my beck and call now!

what's he do

gib earth plate

ohhhh he's like stoutland in alola

....i got followed by an unown,
