Was anyone gonna tell me traded pokemon don't listen to orders without badges or did I have to learn this myself in my twenties 😭

Took Pobble to the centre for a checkup and the nurse was like 'wow she scans as a level 37!' ???????????

plz tell me there's an alternative to the Gym Challenge to get the respect magic or whatever-

New baby just born! 💖

Could be worse. Probably.

I mean- you could've gone for a person who was high ranking train staff by accident and not a passenger? or hospitalised them??? 🤔😅

(u should probably delete this if u see any Jennys giving u side eye though-)

I can't believe I just liveblogged me assaulting someone.

head in fucking hands.

Wooo!! Good job, lil Flabebe! So important for lil guys to get to play with improving their moves too 😁😁

Training today. Look at the SIZE of his aura sphere!!! He's getting so good at controlling it!!

[mug-and-friends]

Oh thank fuck 😭

Ghost Gym leader dad context REALLY helps here. Ignore my illiterate ass jtsjgaug

They give kids litwick over there!? Don't those... like. actively consume life force and emotion to keep alive? not that they can't be raised safely and well but. as a STARTER? -Core (@mug-and-friends )

Nooooooo omg they don't my dad gave me Fern a year ago what he's a ghost type gym leader of course he would lol

No bingo for me :( :(

honestly though Trainer Journeys are absolutely insane. Video game protagonists wish they could be as stupid as a 13 yo with a rabbit capable of starting forest fires. Glad i ducked out and stayed in school for longer instead of getting that 'formative experience' of being nearly murdered by wild pokemon like half my class 😅

The ROTUMBLR FUNNYMAN BINGO card has been completed!

Fill it out to see if you’re a real ROTUMBLR FUNNYMAN!

Plus my bingos :]

2!

Definitely. If you're within stick poking range it's open season! If a legendary/mythical didn't stop me getting close enough to poke. i think poking at least once is valid.

Would you poke a legendary and/or mythical with a stick? Be honest now

Went on a hike with my two mons and had lunch at the top of a mountain near me with GREAT views!!! And then went home after celebrating because it feckin cold and windy

.... and there was a Duraludon pack giving us side eye, which definitely helped hurry us on haha.

Well, happy winter solstice, everyone! Does anyone have any solstice traditions they observe?

[mug-and-friends]

Bro what. Paldea isn't a game??? It's a whole freaking country-

from what I know, from a biology perspective, it's the specific kind of bioenergy a pokemon generates that determines their, well, type! it's influenced by or derived from (there's a debate) their physiology and aids in stuff like heat resistance, conductivity, aquatic adaptation, psychic ability, stuff like that!

they can interact in unique ways when they come in contact through moves, which are basically just expressions of bioenergy, and that's why typing advantages exist

(-Lus formally completelylusingit who read about this for next semester)

Yeah, that isn't a thing here, like, at all. Type is just a descriptive categorization of impacts of certain kinds of attacks on a pokemon. Those attacks are honestly sort of arbitrarily classified also. Plus the whole type system is known to be wrong here.

The idea of "type energy" being a thing is utterly bizarre to me. There's got to be more to it. Surely it's an emergent phenomenon with social classification or something, not actually a specific kind of energy. Or is physics in your guys' other universes very different or something?

Like, I don't really have a good way to grok what it'd actually be outside of like... D&D/fantasy spell element stuff and that just seems... utterly wrong to me. That I'm missing something fundamental here.

Who the fuck is riding their rapidash outside my house at 1am bro that horse can't even SEE-

[mug-and-friends]

I don't know how many Gothitelle trainers are on Rotomblr there are but Mine communicates to me by inputting images into my brain

For example, if Lay gets hungry, she'll input an image of a burger

And for a solid 2 seconds all I see is this burger so I know to cook her up some food.

I don't know where she got this burger from. Maybe from her previous trainer, but I've never given her a burger.

Everyone that is giving or receiving a pokemon for christmas this year is on my naughty list.

[mug-and-friends]

My Sableye has hidden my favourite hat again lads 🥺

I am a hatless fool tonight and she is a cackling queen of chaos

[mug-and-friends]

is it true that clefairy come from the moon? is that even possible? i always thought that legend came from how clefairy are found in a place literally called mt moon.

we don't have a definitive answer for whether or not clefairy originated outside of earth's atmosphere. they're hard pokemon to come across for the sake of study!

it's not too extreme of an idea given that there are pokemon we know either for certain or almost certainly did not come into being here- deoxys being the most notable- and yet still manage to survive without issue on earth. we just don't have any proof of it in the case of the clefairy line. their association with the moon has to do more with the powers and behaviors they display when exposed to large amounts of moonlight, as well as their attraction to objects and pokemon that come from or live close to space. however, other pokemon that we know have a terrestrial origin also gain strength from moonlight, such as ledian!

so i can't really answer your question with any certainty, but i wouldn't be surprised if someday it's proven that clefairy came from or at least can live on the moon.
