He's been tapping into Aunt May's bank account!
Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?

Would've made more sense to release an Aqua version with May and Blaziken alongside this one, but maybe that's next week.

This is the worst idea

mangosteen queen is the mascot pokemon of something awful

I didn't really care when they showed of Bounsweet because I thought it was just going to be another Cherubi. But is evos have such a werid design and flavor that there is no way that I can't pick it. Like no long afraid of being stabbed and needing the blessing of other Steenee to evolve. I goes I finally got my third pokemon.

Steenee dex posted:

Upon evolving, this Pokémon’s fragrance becomes even more delectable, but it also gains a tomboy-like personality. Living together with one is quite the ordeal. As it moves around, it spins its calyx, striking nearby objects, but Steenee couldn’t care less.

Steenee dex posted:

Tsareena has the nature of high-class nobility. Any Pokémon or human that approaches it with evil in mind will be punished forthwith. It even turns its fearsome glare upon its own Trainer if the two of them are not fully in sync, or if its Trainer orders it to use a move that will be ineffective. Only the strongest of Steenee are able to evolve. When this happens, the Steenee evolves with the blessing of other Steenee.

It’s said that this Pokémon loses its strength if touched on the crown-like protuberance on its head.

Steenee and tsareena are plays on Mangosteen, the fruit they're based on.

May vs. Team Aqua is fine, but I'd rather not just have the same episode but with different characters.

every story with 5 detectives needs a femme fatale

The heat roiled off the pavement. Here in the city, the air was stifling. Tsareena prowls through my door like a whore through a church—a pinup green with stumps that went on for miles. No dame her age could afford a ribbon like the one she wore, but with looks like that, you’d expect nothing less. She had bad news written on her like the Alolan Tribune. This dame was all business—before I could even offer her a seat, she lets slip that Ribombee managed to get herself wasted.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

I look forward to the next episode of Pokemon Generations where Kyougre gets clowned on by a single Shedinja.



That was canon, right?

Ah, the wild-west days where Meowth's Pay Day was your only source of renewable money, and that was Blue version only. Some other fun tidbits: you could buy any drink from Celadon's vending machines so long as you have a non-zero amount of money; it didn't check for the exact amount, though you'd still be left at zero dollars afterwards.

Also, they (somewhat) learned their lesson about fail-states in Yellow; you could get into the Safari Zone for less than admission if you don't have enough, but it scaled down the number of Safari Balls you'd get. If you were broke you had to pester them several times and they would let you in with a single ball.

I like how Aloha Muk unlike Muk are even more toxic but don't gave off a bad smell. Also the array of colors reminds me of poison dart frogs.
