God I absolutely love the idea of service/emotional support Pokémon but you wanna know what I really wanna see? Service Pokemon that are also not just quadruped mammal Pokemon. I wanna see some “unconventional” service pokemon that can still work. I mean think about it. Every single pokemon has its own quirks and almost all can be easily befriended. The reason service animals in the real world are usually (but not limited to) dogs is probably because they’re the most compatible animal to do so with. With Pokemon, you have a lot more options in terms of compatibility. Obviously the quadrupeds are the most logical decisions but I think with Pokemon it could logically stretch further than that.

Service animals work different jobs and like. Did you ever see that one Elgyem that just casually predicted a future disaster THAT COULD BE STOPPED in the anime? That’s like… an immediate qualification to help with people who have episodes of any kind like cardiac alert or panic attacks or seizures. Togetic is like the perfect huggable shape and can probably help ease restless minds for those who have PTSD. Idk what Tangrowth’s got going on but I think you could train a Tangrowth to help you with something, it just looks obedient and willing to listen to you. Don’t mind me, this is my seeing eye Ambipom. I hold his tail hand as he guides me through busy traffic and he can use the other to make sure there’s a path for me. My Mime Jr is in training because when she evolves into a Mr Mime she’s going to help me with basic tasks my body can’t handle. My Alolan Ratticate is large and scary looking but he can snuff out gluten in my food. My emotional support Tarountula is very soft and lets me hug her yarn when I’m having a PTSD episode and she even rubs my tears away with her tiny little hands. My Delibird keeps all of my medications in his tail when I have a flare up. My Serperior lightly coils around me and protects me when I have a seizure in public.

Y’ALL SEE THE VISION RIGHT.

Okay, so I have thoughts on the Funger peoples' hypothetical pokemon teams, so bear with me.

any grass type would fit Olivia, but I would also add a pachirisu and mothim to her team. a pachirisu was brought to a world tournament and won first place, becoming the posterchild for vgc. it would tie into Olivia underestimating her own capabilities and fit the nature aesthetic. there's a moth motif between her and Reila for the mothim.

Reila should have a shiny mothim and a porygon, but I could also see metagross

I would give Marcoh a bewear and a ratticate

August should have an absolutely stacked team, probably with a legendary and an ursaluna. Moonless should be a shiny midday lycanrock (obviously not a normal pokemon)

I'm being mean to Daan here and giving him a lopunny, alolan persian and an audino

Henryk just gets a herdier. sorry man, we don't know enough about you

if Levi had a less fucked up childhood he probably would be like the early route bug catchers, so I'm giving him the slightly militaristic looking yanmega and a quagsire. My reasoning for the quagsire is that their typing and laid back disposition would make them well suited for use in the military and he took it with him when he deserted

togekiss would be very fitting for Abella given her goals and I could see her with a joltik

as much as I loathe giving Caligura this much thought, he could have a honchcrow, regular persian and a tyrantrum

Karin gets a staraptor and a weavile

Tanaka has an eevee that later evolves into umbreon

i got the 2023 trick or trade murkrow card today :D i love murkrow and samarie does too

drop ur funger pokemon headcanons RIGHT NOW!!!! some ideas i couldnt draw rn: - if olivia were to have an eeveelution it would be leafeon (of course), but olivia screams oddish fan to me for some reason. shes definately a sunflora and victreebell fan. but in my head, she has a trevenant friend from the deep forest - samarie has a lot of ghoulish friends! i think it would be really sweet if she had a mimikyu companion. - i want to be nice and say abella would have a bastiodon, but i also want to be mean and say phanpy, donphan, or copperajah.

REBLOGS REALLY NEEDED

Hello guys ! As you know, I'm actually in a pretty bad state of health and I try my best to find ways to keep doing things so I won't turn crazy.

And lately I found out that I really love doing pokemon card paintings !

Sadly I can't do a lot of it because my collection is pretty small right now and I don't want to waste it.

Sooo I'm selling thoses ! For all the cards I painted I'm only keeping 3 and I'm selling the rest in hopes of raising enough money to buy new cards and paint again !

I can ship theses pretty much all around the world and because cards aren't heavy it wouldn't be really expensive. They will be sent under toploaders which is the best protection you can get for a pokemon card

I will ask you to pm your price if you want to buy anything. If you want more photos of a card or if you have questions, just ask !

Please, I really need you for this. Thank you very much <3

Rattata... Bothers me. It's, like, just a generic cartoon rat. Not especially stylized, aside from being purple.

Then it evolves into a much more stylized Ratticate... Which subsequently stops being purple?? Like, they don't even look related aside from being rats.

In conclusion, the Alolan version is better because they have a consistent colour scheme and actually look like they could be part of the same family.

[wallynorthbynorthwest]

The first trial gives you Brick Break so I one-shot the ratticate with my crabrawler I can't believe it was that easy

I still gotta set up a time frame of when Avery caught her Pokemon BUT i do know where she met them

Henry was a gift from her parents, given to her while he was a Buneary along with a mega stone.

Raffy is another Pokemon that was going to be gifted to her when she was old enough for her journey, but stole the Pokeball containing her early before leaving home to further convince her mother that she was leaving home for her Pokemon adventure early.

Sparcy was the first Pokemon she caught in Unova at Gear Station

Audie was found at an abandoned Pokemon Center, supposedly she was staying there even after it’s closure for unknown reasons.

Berry was also oddly found in Unova, getting stuck in a berry tree and acting like he wasn’t scared. He totally was and Avery and the team helped

Punky was found in Alola of all places. saved from a scuffle against a gang of Rattata and Ratticate fighting for food. Because of this, Avery thought Punky was an Alolan variant of Zigzagoon rather than a Galarian one

favorite hp characters pokemon partners

harry: hoothoot named hedwig that was given to him by hagrid. hedwig evolved into a noctowl down in the chamber of secrets 

ron: his original partner pokemon was a ratticate that was actually peter pettigrew. later on, it became the alolan vulpix that he caught in the forbidden forest. he never intended to evolve it into a ninetails, it just sort of happened one day in class when they were talking about evolutionary stones and vulpix touched one. woops

hermione: crookshanks was a glameow when she got it but it evolved into a purrugly within the first year, which was when ron started to hate it. hermione thought that crookshanks got more character that way

ginny: her first pokemon was a ghastly that the twins tried to prank her with as a child. the ghastly decided that he liked ginny, actually, and they became friends. it evolved into a haunter and THEN a gengar the summer after she was down in the chamber because she spent so long training afterwards. 

luna: her first pokemon was a phantump that took a liking to her when she was wandering the grounds after her mother’s death. other cherished members of luna’s team include a togepi-togetic-togekiss an umbreon, a shedninja, a chandelure, and a clefable! she’s also good friends with the celebi that lives in the forest but like. she’d never CATCH a celebi. she’ll just tell people that she’s friends with the celebi and allow people to not believe her. 

neville: his first pokemon is a pidove because it’s known for being forgetful and isn’t very powerful, but it later evolves into a respectable unfeazant! 

draco: draco was of course named after the dragon type. his parents went to great lengths in order to acquire a bagon for him. while draco worked tirelessly to eventually train his bagon into a salamance, he was frustrated by the fact that the one time that he and harry actually battled, the hoothoot somehow edged out a victory. he outright refuses to grace ron weasley with a battle. he says that it’s because he views him and his style as “inferior” but all of campus knows that it’s because his pokemon wouldn’t stand a chance against that alolan ninetails.

Part 3, here we go. As before, pointing out issues with previous generations, but it’s Personal opinion, i’m not an expert, etc etc, Send an ask if you want me to talk about specific pokemon, and I’m happy to discuss any of these statements in depth if someone disagrees. I don’t mind the rowlet/litten line, but wasn’t a fan of popplio, not a lot bad to say about it though. Other than generally looking quite low effort, Yungoos/gumshoos are badly names and a terrible start to the generation. Grubbins evolutionary line went down faster than someone skydiving with a lead parachute, it doesn’t fit into pokemon, it fits digimons art style more. Crabrawler/crabominable as with last generations version, they feel like knock offs of krabby/corphish, and the generation would be better without them. Wishiwashi, bad name, knockoff remoraid, could be passable otherwise? generally low opinion of everything else up to Sandygast/palossand, at which point I bring up the issue with inanimate objects, it’s not just a bad design, it’s not what a pokemon represents. one is literally called “type: null”, which is where i draw the line at lazy naming conventions. At this point i give up, because i’m having trouble taking any of these new pokemon seriously, and would be happy if almost none of this generation existed, with a few exceptions A few honorable mentions that I wouldn’t mind keeping, mimikyu, pikipek’s line, morelull/shiinotic, and maybe cutiefly/ribombee. All the rest I could honestly do without as it feels like effort is at an all time low here. Now I’d be remiss not to mention the alolan varients given they were more of a focus than the new pokemon added, so I’ll also go over those. Some are silly, and some are actually pretty good designs, so I’ll cover most of them. Rattata/ratticate, I like it in theory, but the design leaves something to be desired. Raichu, ehhhhhhh, it’s beating a dead horse at this point, surfer pikachu has been done already. Sandshrew/sandslash, alright design, wish it could be named something different. Vulpix/ninetails, Actually like these ones. good job. Diglett/dugtrio, diglet, I like the idea of, dugtrio on the otherhand....why? just why? Meowth/persian, meowth isn’t too bad, but persian looks like it was drawn by a child, and not a particularly talented one at that. Geodude/graveller/golem, I would’ve been vaguely alright with these until they added what looks like eyebrows, hair, and a beard/mustache. Please stop added human like hair to pokemon, it just doesn’t fit. Grimer/muk, Interesting idea, Not sure about the colour scheme, but I don’t mind the concept. Exeggutor, amazing, 10/10 better than the original. also very worthy of it’s meme status, best thing to come out of this gen. Marowak, alright, but looks like they’re trying to make an already interesting pokemon too edgy. cubone/marowak had a great story in the kanto games, no need to push it to be something it’s not. That concludes most of the gen 5-7 pokemon, which seemed to go increasingly downhill with each generation. It’s just felt like the effort has been sucked from the games, between bad names, bad designs, mega evolutions, alolan forms(great concept, badly executed), Z-moves which generally feel tacky, and the switch to 3D, which hurt the art style in my opinion, it lost a lot of the appeal pokemon had for me as a kid. So far I like almost every new pokemon for sword and shield, except for the legendaries, and while I’m hesitant about the dynamax system, as it feels like they’re straying away from what makes pokemon, well... pokemon. With each generation the games seem to get easier, the designs and names get worse, and they add a new gimmicky was to evolve pokemon, or fight and it’s just slowly killing the series , sales have been on a steady downward trend, with only a boost with sun.moon, which I’d say came from the memes and the fact it had old pokemon again.

[sillyandquiteawkward]

its my post i get to infodump about why i choose them:

primo: gothitelle evokes images of a sister of sin, i think it was a gift from the clergy after being brought into the church as a child. i like that gothita often talks and looks at something unseen and maybe was thought to be talking to the devil or something. primo joins in on the conversation. also. gothitelle can see in the stars its trainers impending death and it Will cry about it. :)

secondo: weavile is like a lap cat but it can hold things and is a menace. just like its papa. all the ladies love its cute little face. being a ladies man, this is very important to him. i think he got a sneasel young but not as a starter.

terzo: alolan ninetales was once thought to be a diety and in general is thought of being sacred. obviously as the golden goose of the family terzo deserves a matchingly flamboyant pokemon. i think he got this later in life as a gift of his good work.

copia: alolan rattata obviously bc he let a rat into his home and now its going to ruin his life. i can imagine he started feeding it scraps until they became friends. now he has a gluttonous ratticate living with him, he is under its whims and does what it asks of him like an obedient little rat.

seestor: absol is a pokemon that predicts and is attracted to natural disasters. i think seestor has an uncanny ability to create problems on purpose so i think they fit well. she talks with it about her plans and asks if they will bring disaster however absol does not reply (which she thinks is a go ahead). also she totallly mega evolves her absol are you kidding it gets angel wings.

nihil: arbok is a snake just like papa :) i think this is his ekans from childhood. it also just so happens to have big scary face markings on it perfect for being partners with the evil pope. in his deteriorating age, he spoils it and treats it kinder than his own sons.

ghouls: murkrow are often seen as omens and evil things. i think theyre attracted to the ghouls, altho ghouls can have their own personal pokemon. this is just a stand in for all of them. murders upon murders of murkrow flock wherever the ghouls stay.

ghost + pokemon but they are all not ghost types. lot more dark types bc i feel it fits better. this was inevitable bc i love to assign ppl pokemon.

Clarissa only occasionally nicknames her Pokémon. At the time of writing, there are only three Pokémon who have ever received new names from her:

1) The first is Squib, Clarissa’s Goomy. Bitterly nicknamed for being damp and disappointing. 2) Kyanite renamed her Porygon Z Zed in commemoration of the Pokémon’s rebirth after it was Upgraded to circumvent the virus ravaging its system. 3) And finally, Katsu, the runty Alolan Meowth Clarissa winds up adopting from Nanu/@sunlcved after the Pokémon grew attached to her. A lame pun for a Pokémon that’s a simple pet more than anything else.

EDIT: I LIED, there was a fourth one I forgot about. Her first ever Pokémon, the first that she ever caught herself was a Ratticate she named Ratty. ...Look, she was a kid, okay, how many kids did you know growing up who had goldfish named “Goldie” or a hamster named “Hammy”.
