Meowth Facts

(Kantonian Meowth specifically)

-The scientific name for Meowth is "Cattus felixummus." Cattus meaning cat, and felixumus being a combination of felix, meaning luck, and nummus, meaning coin. The rough translation for this is "Lucky coin cat"

-There are two main categories of Meowth. The first one is the natural one, which walk on all fours. The second one is the domestic one, which are bipedal

-When first hatched, Meowth will have their coin be tiny and with a hole in them

-In many parts of the world, Meowth have contributed to rising inflation rates. There have been some laws trying to get people to stop making their Meowth use payday, but none of them seem to work (please stop it you're the reason I have to spend so much on food)

-Meowth really love shiny objects, especially coins. They often get into fights with Gimmighoul over coins, with both of them wanting the other

-While their usually solitary, some Meowth have been known to form groups with other Meowth in search for food or shiny objects

-Meowth eyes glow a yellowish color in the dark

-Meowth are obviously felines, with their closest relatives being Litleo, Incineroar, and Meowscarada

-When a Meowth cares about you, they'll often give you shiny objects

-The older Meowth get, the more rusty their coins become. These older Meowth are often more respected among their communities

-Meowth's favorite foods include a lot of rodents and fish. Pokemon like Rattata, Pikachu, Magikarp, and Dedenne tend to be their favorites

-Despite the stereotype that Meowths love milk, most Meowth are actually lactose intolerant

-Female Meowth tend to be smaller than male Meowth

-While they are most commonly found in Urban areas, Meowth can also be found in fields and forests

Language divides and building bridges.

Elesa’s feeling homesick. Emmet, bless his heart, tries to help by infodumping while Ingo frantically runs off to find water (crying is a very dehydrating experience).

((Would you look at that! The kids are picking up kantonese and galarian from each other!))

BONUS:

Heh. Callback.

[historianofgalar]

With Typhlosion trending, I think it's time to bring up the, "Humans and pokemon were one in the same," and the implications that humans uses to breed with pokemon. Please do not worry, this post is as SFW as it can be, but I do apologize for some other stuff that mighr be brought into it. I'm just discussing the origins of where these ideas came from.

"Did people mary pokemon?"

Yes, and while I'm sure there are some... different cases, most of the marriage worked differently than human marriages. The marriage itself was about the union; not the romance or the children that were expected of from marriage at the time. I explained it in this post, but the Diamond and Pearl clans of Sinnoh would "mary" their lord or lady pokemon, not in a romantic sense, but in a union sense. The wardens would still be allowed to have relations with or marry humans. Even outside of the clans, there were some instances of people marrying their pokemon to show a union between them that wasn't romantic.

In modern day, marrying your pokemon partner is considered taboo due to the modern ideas of marriage focusing on the romantic aspect of it only. Modern-day members of the Diamond and Pearl clans will still sometimes have the practices of weddings with their lord or lady pokemon, even if they are not legally married. It's important to know that, if you're meeting a warden who is married to their lord or lady, that they are bonded in marriage, but not in the way that modern society sees marriage.

The clans have always seemed to view pokemon as one of them. There are instances of people calling their partner pokemon their brothers, sisters, parents, or children. While I do not originate from these clans, I do follow a similar belief. I have been partners with my Dragapult, Aosmhor, since I was 10 years old, and she feels like a sister to me. I do not use pokeballs on my pokemon (accept for Mallaithe the Runerigus, but that was a catch-or-die situation) because I follow a similar belief that they can be used to control your pokemon. These pokemon feel like family to me, and I do not wish to put them into tiny balls.

"Can humans and pokemon have kids?"

Theoretically? Yes. But not with just any pokemon. It's assumed that humans could potentially make a successful embryo with related species to us, like Oranguru or Gardevoir, but no one (that we know of) has ever tried to make an embryo in a lab or anywhere else. There could've been some potential hybrids in history, but nothing ever fully concrete.

//Don't come at me, I didn't just pull this outta my ass. There was a successful human/chimpanzee embryo in a lab

"Where did the myths of humans having children with pokemon originate?"

One reason is that it was most likely to explain why a pokemon looks the way it does. Typhlosion can be mistaken for human from a faraway distance (same height as a human, very human-like eyes, sometimes walks on 2 legs), and people back then must've thought it was part human/part pokemon. It's also why there are so many myths of Ghost Types once being human; to explain their odd behaviours. While I'm actually a believer that some ghost types were once human (Yamask, Spiritomb), pokemon like Gengar most likely weren't human. But, there are myths of it once being human because it follows humans, hides in human's shadows and, despite its wideness, it is the same height as a small human.

The stories could also just be for entertainment or to teach a lesson. A common theme amongst a lot of folklore is, "don't be tricked by seduction." Since fairytales love their symbolism, they'd often use pokemon such as Foxmon or Humanoid-mon as the symbolism for seduction, since many foxes are able to do magic or are just very sneaky, and some humanoid-mons can be easy to mistake for human women. It's why there's so much folklore of Zoroark turning into beautiful women, Primarina luring men to their deaths, and Kantonian Ninetales luring men into the woods with illusions of beautiful women. It's not literal; it's all a metaphor.

Some do have a grain of truth, though. Zoroark would use their illusions to look like humans, but Hisuian Zoroark rarely did this since they wanted to avoid humans. Primarina have beautiful voices that would enchant any sailor, but since they were still wild Pokemon, the Primarina must've felt threatened or scared by the sailors and would harm them in self defense. Ninetales create illusions from fire, and will sometimes use these illusdions to keep people away. But, they rarely ever do it to keep people in the forest, since they dont like anyone in their territory, and the illusions were often scary. But, for the sake of storytelling snd explaining things they couldnt understand, they would change it.

Then there's Frolass, who will just lure men away and freeze them. That one's real. Beware of Froslass if you're a man or too masculine presenting. Unless you're my kid apparently. Froslass just get confused looking at them...

Tristina is a secondary protagonist to the A Night With Girafarig story, and is known for her straightforward and bold nature. She doesn't shy away from speaking her mind and is direct in her interactions, whether she is expressing her opinions or her feelings. Despite her strong exterior, Tristina harbors a deep sense of compassion and loyalty, especially towards those she cares about, such as Calah. She is resourceful and quick-thinking, traits that have helped her navigate the challenges in their eerie, fog-covered town. She plays a crucial role in the story as more than just Calah's friend--but as Calah's love interest as well. She poses an incredible crush on him and has for a long while until thinking of a perfect plan to admit it to him without much fear. Aside from her love to Calah, she is driven by a desire to uncover the truth and protect her loved ones, similar to Calah shortly after believing in his words about the town's issue. Her job includes being a fitness trainer, where she helps others around town stay active and moving at all times--and she used to get paid a fair amount before the weird happenings of the town struck!

Pokémon #0089 - Muk

"Muk can be found in heavily polluted bodies of water and environments. It is a living biohazard, leaking toxins that instantly kill all plant life it touches. The effects of this Pokémon can leave the landscape barren for three years. Alolan Muk, however, is unexpectedly quiet and friendly, and has a voracious appetite so, like its pre-evolution, it is used to dispose of garbage all over the world."
