#Pokemon Diamond Pearl and Platinum

I’ve been sitting on this one for a while and don’t want to be eaten alive if I put it on Instagram

Cynthia is Volo, Cyrus is Cyllene & Dawn is Akari you can't change my mind

Arceus Shenanigans meant that post-DPPT Dawn was sent back to Hisui, only to almost immediately run into pre-transition Cyllene & Volo (they stole each other's genders)

Meanwhile, back in modern day Sinnoh, Cynthia & Cyrus keep punting each other off of Mount Coronet for 'that one time you tried to create a new world and fistfight god'

potential timetravel shenanigans:

Cynthia: oh god why. Volo: :( Cyrus: *dying on the floor* Akari/Dawn: *punts Cyrus off the mountain because he can definitely take it, but Volo hasn't fist-fought god yet so he can only probably take it* Cyrus: *after being psychic'd back up to the top by the Alakazam I was entirely convinced he had until I looked up his team* yeah that's fair. Cyllene: ....?

Drifloon & Drifblim

  Drifloon (#425)

Phasmanatansia infansuffuror

General Information: Drifloon the Balloon Pokémon, and a Pokémon surrounded in legends. They are known by many names, including the Signpost for Wandering Spirits. Many believe Drifloons to be Pokémon who spirit away children, but the truth is more complicated than that and leads to many conflicting accounts of them. The reality, is that Drifloons are not kidnappers, but psychopomps. Drifloon quite love children, though they don’t like being tugged around helplessly. They will play with children either willingly or forcefully (as in, the child grabs them and pulls them around like a balloon), but when they can sense that a child is going to die “soon” (whatever that may mean) they may give that child extra attention, a friend. When it’s time for a child to pass on, the Drifloon is there to guide their spirit to the afterlife. But this act is often misinterpreted as the Drifloon being the cause of the death, causing the spread of horrible tales over the ages.

Should someone burst a Drifloon, its life force will come screaming out.

Drifloons are about 1’4 feet tall (1.1 M) and weigh very little at 2.6 pounds (1.2 kg).

Habitat: Drifloons can be found all over the world, wherever the winds may take them.

Life Cycles: Drifloons are born sporadically from mating events that occur year-round, usually as singlets to their parents. They will stick with their parents and home flock until they feel ready to move on to a new flock, which could be whenever. There is little parental care beyond group socializing, protection, and guidance.

Drifloons are born to reproductively viable pairs about once every 3 or 4 months. They are eaten by other ghost types, such as Dusclops and Dusknoirs with regularity and don’t put up much of a fight against ghost-type specialists.

Mates are chosen by vibes.

Behavior: Drifloons are amicable sorts who enjoy social gatherings and traveling on the shifting winds. They enjoy children to a point—they really do not appreciate being dragged along like a balloon, and some individuals have an aversion to children because of this.

Diet: Drifloon feed on the lingering spirit energy that drifts on the wind. One could think of them as “filter feeders” of spirit energy.

Conservation: Least Concern

Relationship with Humans: Because of the grave misunderstanding of what Drifloons do, there is a widespread ban on Drifloons as starter Pokémon at the institutional level. A sad reality, because Drifloons are actually kind and helpful Pokémon who enjoy children. Most people will freak at the presence of a Drifloon, for they are, unfortunately, one of many Pokémon who have received a bad rep through no fault of their own.

Drifloons are often the subject of horror movies and supernatural media.  

Classification:  Phasmanatansia infansuffuror is the scientific name of Drifloon, which broken down roughly translates to “floating phantom that steals children.” Carl Linnaeus himself named this Pokémon.

Drifblim (#426)

Phasmanatansia ventusmortem

General Information: Drifblim the Blimp Pokémon, and the evolved form of Drifblim. This Pokémon is known to be helpless against strong winds, mostly only in control of its ascension and descension except under light winds. They enjoy taking other Pokémon (and people) for rides, these joyrides can become dangerous for the Drifblim has little control of its direction of travel and both rider and Drifblim can get lost together with a strong breeze.

Drifblim are about 3’11 feet (1.2 M) tall and weigh about 33.1 pounds (15 kg)

Habitat: Drifblims travel the world wherever the winds may take them.

Life Cycles: Drifblims have the same life cycle as Driflooms, except that they have a lower rate of predation.

Behavior: Drifblims are amicable Pokémon who enjoy playing by giving others rides—but beware, a strong breeze and you’ll both be swept away!

Diet: Drifblims will put more effort into acquiring spirit energy than Drifloons. During the night Drifblims will float down to the surface and grab departed souls that they can catch, which in truth are usually the souls of recently feasted upon Clamperls or something.

Conservation: Least Concern

Relationship with Humans: Drifblims don’t have quite the same horrors attached to its name in human folklore as its unevolved counterpart does, and they are no longer psychopomps, instead have themselves become direct consumers of freshly departed souls and spirit energy. By and large, Drifblims are harmless wayfarers to people, but concerns do arise when someone goes missing because they took a joyride with one. This inevitably leads to suspicions that Drifblims will steal you away too and eat your soul, and so forth. It’s rough being a misunderstood ghost-type.

Classification: The species epithet for Drifblim is “ventusmortem” which means “death wind.”

Evolution: Drifblim evolves from Drifloon at level 28.

DPPT night themes: A few instruments change, maybe a different tempo, but very chill vibes

PLA night themes: You are alone in the wilderness and danger is constantly looming, remember your own mortality because you might not make it to daybreak

[pokenimagines]

SFW - Gym leader Gardenia - Headcannon: How about gardenia with an S/O who is a fire type specialist?

I recall Gardenia, but not perfectly. So hope this is okay. I kept it short and not too crazy detailed. Hope you still enjoy!

Rules | Discord Server (16+)

SFW Gardenia: Fire Type S/O

At first, she sees you as more or less a rival pre-relationship. She wanted to take you down so bad with just her grass types to prove the strength. Was she ever able to? Well…no.

Once she stops seeing you as a rival, she softens up a bit, inviting you out.

Things naturally begin forming between the two of you, so it’s no shock to anyone when you confirmed you were going out with one another.

She calls you two, the dynamic duo. You can deafest any grass types, and she’ll protect your team from water types. Not that you’ve ever been in a situation like that, she still likes to imagine it.

She does really like your team though, especially as it grows colder. She debates finding a fire/grass type to keep her warm in the winter.

Or she could just continue to use you. Both were good options.

Why did Game Freak remove this feature?

[wario-land]

I used to enjoy Pokemon games a lot, but lately some of the newer entries have been kinda controversial due a variety of issues.

Turtwig, Grotle, & Torterra

Turtwig (#387)

Torterra folium

General Information: The shell on a Turtwig’s back is made of earth, and when it absorbs water it becomes harder. Its shell is warm to the touch. It becomes more energetic when the sun is out.

Turtwig are an average of 1’04 feet tall (0.4 M) and 22.5 pounds (10.2 kg).

Habitat: Turtwigs are native to the New World, which is also known as Turtle Island by many of the Indigenous Peoples. They can be found in grasslands, wetlands, and by clean lakes and large ponds.

Life Cycles: Turtwigs are raised by their parents in litters of 2-6 until they’re around two years old. During this time the parents pass down wisdom and knowledge and social skills, though the baby Turtwig is itself otherwise fully capable of feeding on its own and defending itself. However, Turtwigs are still suspectable to predation, with many falling victim to attacks from ice-type predators during the winter. During droughts, their shells weaken and they become vulnerable to predators then, too. A healthy Turtwig should have a moist shell.

Behavior: Turtwigs are social animals that live in herds, though often these herds can be spaced out and vary widely in size.

Diet: Most of its nutrients come from photosynthesis, however Turtwigs are more animal than plant and still need to consume other resources, namely leaves, berries, and sometimes bark. Turtwigs are quite tolerant to eating the thorny bits of bushes and thistles if they have to, but would prefer berries and leaves. These dietary needs fluctuate throughout the year as Turtwigs receive varying amounts of sunlight. The sparse sunlight of winter helps them survive the cold, but Turtwigs still have to stock up on nutrient reserves in the Summer and Fall to keep them going. First-year Turtwigs have the highest mortality rates in their first winter.

Conservation: Threatened

Relationship with Humans: Turtwigs make excellent starter Pokémon for trainers of Turtle Island/the New World, particularly in the Great Plains region and the Midwest.

They are common in children’s television. In fact, there is a popular weekly program aimed at kindergarteners called Tuesdays with Turtwig where the titular character, Turtwig, teaches children about mundane/everyday parts of life and the outdoors through whimsical misadventures and a plethora of friends and guests. This Turtwig is famous for wearing a red polka-dot bowtie and loves to play outside with his friends.

Classification: Turtwig’s scientific name is Torterra folium. “Folium” references the leaf on its head.

Grotle (#388)

Torterra rubus

General Information: Grotle are the evolved form of Turtwig. They are excellent finders of water and will even carry smaller Pokémon in its back to take them to clean water. The bushes on their back are known to produce either nuts or fruit, depends on the population and where it grew up.

Grotle are 3’7 feet tall (1.1 M) and 213.8 pounds (97 kg).

Habitat: Grasslands, wetlands, and the outer edges of forests. They enjoy sleeping under trees at night for the shelter of them, but during the day they leave the forest to bask in open sunlight. Really, they are most likely to be found where clean sources of water are and there’s plenty of sunlight to sit in.

While Grotles and family can be found in more arid environments, they much prefer ecosystems with sufficient sources of clean water.

Life Cycles: Grotle are the middle stage of its line. They are often the scouts of a herd who report back to the herd about new sources of water and other vital information. Grotles evolve from Turtwigs around two or three years old. They spend the next three to eight years of their lives as a Grotle until they finally evolve into Torterra.

Behavior: Grotle are curious, adventurous, and helpful Pokémon. The bushes on its back attract wild Pokémon to it, whom enjoy perching on its back and going for rides and eating the nuts/berries.

Diet: Sunlight and berries. Same thing as a Turtwig.

Conservation: Threatened

Relationship with Humans: Grotle are seen in pop culture as helpful Pokémon, and is even the mascot for a train company. On more than one survival show, the people have Grotles on their team for their inpeccable abilities to find clean water. On the kids show Tuesdays with Turtwig, Turtwig has an older cousin named Grotle who’s job in town is to give rides to other Pokémon who are trying to get to different places. Grotle teaches the audience about traffic safety laws and courtesies.

Classification: Grotle’s species epithet “rubus” refers to the bushes on its back.

Torterra (#389)

Torterra torterra

General Information: Torterra is the final evolution of Turtwig! Small Pokémon live on its massive back, many spending their entire lives there! In fact, Torterra shells are considered to be unique ecosystems that receive their own dedicated researchers.

Habitat: Torterras are found in grasslands, wetlands, and sometimes the edges of forests, but will for certain be found near clean water such as lakes and large ponds.

Life Cycles: Torterras are the oldest members of the herd and have been known to live for upwards of a 100 years in the wild—in fact, no one is sure how old Torterras can get before they succumb to old age, but there are certainly many long-term studies in place designed to track individuals throughout their lifetimes. The oldest on record is 126 years old, and she’s still going strong!

Torterras do most of the herd protection and are largely in charge of looking after the babies in the herd while the Grotles and older Turtwigs are out and about. See, Torterras don’t really go anywhere except when they’re migrating to a different water source, but anything under its protection is quite secure. In warmer climates, some Torterras have been known to get buried in dirt and mud, even disguising the fact that there’s a Pokémon there. When they do move, the effect of an entire herd migrating looks a lot like a moving forest. It’s quite spectacular!

Behavior: Torterras live in herds of 20-100 with other Torterras, Grotles, and Turtwigs, though these herds can be spaced out when they’ve settled in an area for a while. Typically immobile, Torterras can be spurred into action when migration needs arise, or threats to itself or other members of its herd are nearby (especially the baby Turtwigs). They are quite tolerant of the critters that make their nests on its back or underneath it, and when not aggravated are generally docile and patient.

Diet: Sunlight. They can eat other things, but they spend so very little time actually doing anything that the sunlight is typically sufficient. During winter or when otherwise active, they will dig into the ground for roots. Trainers, some carrots or potatoes will be good nutrition for your Torterra, or other root vegetables.

Conservation: Threatened

Relationship with Humans: Torterra are good, noble creatures of the Great Plains, who once roamed the Great Plains in massive numbers (as did the Bouffalant herds). Unfortunately, when European settlers came to Turtle Island it wasn’t just the Bouffalant herds that they killed, it was the Torterra herds, too, even if it did take a lot more effort. In generations past there were Torterra herds in the hundreds and even thousands that migrated across the interior, providing food and shelter for countless other Pokémon. These days, the wild herds are greatly minimized, and their habitat is dwindled to fractions of what it used to be. Conservation efforts are helping, aided in part by starter Pokémon breeding programs, but it’ll be a long time before wild numbers are near where they used to be, if they ever are again.

Additionally, many cultures believe that the world is on the back of a giant Torterra, hence the name Turtle Island. Similar beliefs exist in other parts of the world, but instead of a giant Torterra the Pokémon is a Terapagos.

Classification: Torterra’s scientific name is Torterra torterra because it is the defining species for its genus and family.
