I couldn't find the links for making the favorite Pokemon, so here's an older version of the meme. I included Megas because they are beautiful:

I presume that there's some kind of association with moths and fire in Japanese folklore. There's a boss in Mega Man Zero 4 that's a fiery moth.

she's named after Titania aka european queen of the fairies ala shakespheare though so who even knows what's going on there

These are my choices. They are not the objectively correct choices, but they're mine and I like them.



My two biggest regrets were leaving Chandelure and Trubbish off the list, but they juuuuuust barely missed out.

Has anyone else seen Bogleech's review of every pokemon? It's admittedly pretty heavily tilted towards his own personal design aesthetics, but it's really interesting to see him go through what he likes or dislikes about every pokemon, or talk about the basis for each pokemon.

EDIT: I literally didn't realize that Wobbuffet's true body was the 'tail' before reading his review, a fact which forever shames me. Wobbuffet doesn't have a small black tail with eyespots, it has a big bouyant blue tail that also has it's mouth. The brain is in the black body which is why the blue body takes hits so well. :)

Not sure I can groove with this guy, he seems to hate all the Pokemon I like.

Edit: Although he does like Primarina so that's cool.

This is Canada. It snows nine months of the year, and hails the other three.

It's worth mentioning that as a kid playing Pokémon Yellow (the first one I owned myself, instead of playing my brother's old game or a pirated Red), my gym battle versus Giovanni was basically a mirror match except for my crappy level 15ish Pikachu. Ground types are my jam, and to a lesser degree rock types

they somehow missed that drifloon was the ghost of a popped balloon which is sad given all the other origins I'm being educated on

If it's any consolation, Ludicolo would have got onto a third place board with me.

Chandelure would probably be pipped by Torkoal and Golurk though, sorry. There are too many good Pokemon :shrug:.

I made two charts. One trying to keep things to a single type- which failed slightly when it comes to flying because that type is basically all half-breeds-



And one where dual-types were allowed.

you could've chosen arceus or... tornadus I guess? for flying

So apparently these are the characters that got Pokémon ahead of Ash in the alternate movie universe.

Gary - Squirtle
Marina from Bye Bye Psyduck - Bulbasaur (I guess a water trainer needs a grass type?)
Tierno from Pokémon XY - Charmander

Tierno had a Squirtle as his starter in the main series, but apparently the other trainers have remained unnamed to this day. Gary's only got revealed when he battled Ash at the end of the original series.

<click> <click> What is it with this dancing?! Bouncing around like fools... I would have thought my own kind at least would understand the seriousness of our Adventurer's Guild!

In less exciting news apparently everyone can get a Hat Pikachu for no charge at all starting later this month using codes on the official website. There's also a special one in US/UM only but I don't care about that. The one you get depends on when you verify the code, though.

Crosspeice
Aug 9, 2013

September 19–25: Ash's Pikachu (Original Cap)
September 26 – October 2: Ash's Pikachu (Hoenn Cap)
October 3–9: Ash's Pikachu (Sinnoh Cap)
October 10–16: Ash's Pikachu (Unova Cap)
October 17–23: Ash's Pikachu (Kalos Cap)
October 24–30: Ash's Pikachu (Alola Cap)

And then when you go see the movie you'll get a QR code to get the Movie Cap Pikachu in USUM. Both Marshadow and Hatchu will be holding their Z-Crystals, meaning that's every Z-move and Mega stone.

Also you can only obtain 1 Hatchu it seems, which is weird cause Japan could get all 6. Oh well, I'll just clone the one I get and change its forme and that'll be my living dex complete again.
