I made so many new friends yesterday! Thank you to everyone that sent in greetings and questions!!

Anyways, I think I should do something fun here on my blog! Hmm... oh! Maybe I could talk about different bug Pokemon every day (or so, heheh..)! Yeah, let's do that!

Welcome to the first Bug of the Day!

Soooo... Today's bug type Pokemon is one of my personal favorites: Leavanny!

Leavannys are bug/grass type Pokemon, that are famous for their sewing abilities and creativity! They level up with friendship and are also known for their kindness, so they make great long term companions for people like me!

My personal Leavanny, Leif, is especially kind! He helps me patch up my clothes when they get cut or damaged while I garden! And in return, I make him yummy fruit salads with all of his favorite berries! (He's a fan of sweet fruits, just like me!)

Hm... I think that's it for now! Thanks for reading!

aaaaAAAAHHHH-

RED. RED. RED!

My horn's red! My helmet, my shell, whatever the dist you wanna call it! it's RED!

[A Samurott is looking in his reflection in what appears to be a bay, visibly in distress. The frontmost horn on his helm has a single swirl of red running from the top to the base of the first section.]

Did I stab somebody and forget about it??? Did I get stabbed??! Is this a Samurott's equivalent of a zit? Do Dewotts get zits like this???

AM I GONNA DIE?!

//OOC THING 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO

What do y'all do when you need to refer to somewhere on Earth outside the 9 regions of the Pokémon universe? I draw a lot of my pokéhistory posts from IRL history, so places like Germany and Italy have come up quite a bit for things, which I've then had to carefully skirt around by either changing something slightly or just describing it in relation to the nearest region -in this case Kalos.

Should I just continue to avoid naming these places? Simply cop out a little and call them poké-[COUNTRY]? Or should I make up region names for them, and try to be consistent with their naming in my posts? What do you guys think?

You ever draw a good hug? I think you did but I can't find it.

Hi sorry I need to do some more Pokemon posting bc this is the funniest shit. the cute-looking Pokèmon TCG series is making "TM10" part of its branding. Like, TM10 from the games - its the TM for the move Hidden Power, thats cute! Its reflecting the main character discovering herself in the same way the move works in the game, what a cute little detail!

Except uh. Just one problem.

Game Freak in all their brilliance removed Hidden Power from the franchise four years ago in Gen VIII* and its still not able to be used in Scarlet and Violet. Its not just that you cant teach it to Pokèmon anymore, you straight up cannot use the attack even if you trade in Pokèmon from older games who know it. Its like a banned technique.

So then that begs the question – if the TCG show is gonna be referencing TM10 this much, but TM10 *isn't* Hidden Power anymore, surely that means TM10 is another similarly inspiring attack - Stored Power, or Calm Mind, or Smart Strike?

Well, depending on if its Gen 8 or 9, I hope the kids will have fun Discovering Their Own Magical Leaf and/or Discovering Their Own Ice Fang. Truly inspiring words. love how well managed this franchise is

Day 177, Bayleef!

A friend honestly

[poke-historian]

I know it's not the type of love you're looking for but I really appreciate your posts on here, like you're just such a wholesome person so whenever there's another crisis going on it's like a breath of fresh air to check your blog and just see you and your loved ones being so kind to one another. So from Kalos me and my smeargle send you the warmest of thanks! <3

No this means the world to me I'm sobbing rn

What's a funny story you have to tell from your journey? Or just a funny story about you in general?

nothin' to laugh about in my life eheh

Just kidding- I was kidnapped by a driftloon as a kid and loved every second of it. Straight up, was missing for 48 hours, police called, search parties, 'n I was having the time of my life living in the forest with my new best friend :> Sadly, my family did not see it that way and scared my friend off after finding me smh

[poke-historian]

Oh hey, I somehow didn't notice until just now. Fellow Joltik enjoyer. Gotta love those guys. (@battle-subway-ghost)

Joltik enjoyer indeed. My little guys a bit of a brat as he loves to eat my phone charger, steal electricity from wild electric pokemon by biting them and cause power outages... Love you though Static...

Joltik's are a lot stronger than I initially thought they were, especailly for their size, Static has managed to take down Pidgeys, hoothoots, and Spearows alone- Scary amount of power for such a little guy to wield.

Don't worry- the beast has been contained Oh and @battle-subway-ghost I told him you loved him btw- he is shocked (get it eheh)
