Happy Tumbrl anniversary to me ahah! This is an old WIP from July 2022 i never finished because the 4th page punchline didn't work out and lost motivation. I gave it a little glow up and decided to post it at last! I hope you enjoy it!

This comic was inspired by this fun and cute Emmet vs Elesa comic @spectra-bear did! This could serve as a silly prelude to it ahah!

Do you know anyone who went on a traditional "Pokemon adventure"? Like, they started when they were 10 or so, got a fire/water/grass starter pokemon, and strived to become the champion?

i dated a guy like this in my twenties. kind of silent and stoical type, big feraligatr, the whole deal. didn't pan out because he was REALLY stuck on the whole "battle upon eye contact" thing. every single time.

Announcing: Tumblr's Strongest Pokémon Tournament!

It's been one year since Mimikyu was crowned Tumblr's favorite Pokémon, not only on this blog, but independently by a bunch of different Pokémon tournaments across the site. One question still lingers: who would win in a one-on-one battle tournament?

I will be again running a tournament on this blog, but instead of answering the question "which Pokémon do you like more?" we are asking "which Pokémon would win in a battle?"

This tournament will again follow a 1v1 knockout format, and it will be seeded according to base stats.

Arguing why your fav would win the battle is highly encouraged. Both joke voting and seriously considering how each battle would play out are encouraged.

FAQ:

Why are the polls all coughing baby vs. hydrogen bombs? That doesn't seem fair!

That's because the polls are seeded by base stats. This way, we ensure that the very strongest pokémon don't face off until the last few rounds, AND if a weaker mon causes an upset in the early rounds (defeats their much stronger opponent), they have a good chance to make it further because they have to face relatively weaker opponents, keeping the tournament exciting!

Why is X form included/not included? Why do some male/female pairs get separate polls?

Forms are included if a) they have different stats or b) they have different types. The exceptions that aren't included are the forms of Aegislash, Minior, Eiscue and Palafin, because you can expect both to occur in the same battle, and the forms of Arceus and Silvally, because there's too many and they, especially Arceus because it's the 8th strongest, risk overwhelming the tournament. The exception that is included are male and female Meowstic, because they have such different movepools.

I found a poll with a wrong image/images in the wrong order/set to only 1 day/something else wrong with it.

Please bring it to my attention, I will fix it asap! The existing poll will be declared invalid if the poll time is wrong.

What happens in case of a tie?

We go into a one-day sudden death poll where the winner moves on to the next round.

What happens if there's an odd number of pokémon in a round?

The three last pokémon in the round will each face off against the 2 others. The one to win both polls will move on to the next round. If each only wins one poll, the one to win by the largest margin will move on.

How should I vote?

Anything that makes you think that the Pokémon should win in a one-on-one. Stats calculations? Valid. They would win in the anime? Valid. They would win in smash/TCG/pokémon pinball? Valid. Vibes? Valid.

Shouldn't you have... [weeded out the weakest pokémon first / included more information in the polls / only included fully evolved pokémon / encouraged people to vote more seriously / something else]?

Yeah probably, but I'm not going to restart the entire tournament over it. I always encourage more people to do tournament blogs though, so feel free to run your own tournament the way you want it!

I am SO PUMPED to share these. I originally was only gonna do 1. But today’s prompt of “CYBER” had my brain going.

YES! These are Megaman NT Warrior inspired, branch evolutions for your Charcadet!!

Armorom from giving your Charcadet a Lan Cable. And Cyberledge from giving it a Prototype Drive to hold.

And YES, correct again! Their shiny variants are references.
