#and there’s a talking Slowking!

[fridge-04]

Every day I wake up and remember that I can never visit Shamouti Island from Pokémon 2000 and I cry

The Pokedex:

The random talking Slowking from Pokemon 2000:

[beasttrash]

i think everyone should draw their fave as a pokémon trainer with their favorite pokémon.

[hannahstarshade]

I don’t know a lot about Pokemon and nobody asked for this, but here’s what I imagine the YV boys’ gym teams would look like. Yes I will be taking questions at this time.

[kuruna]

Slowpoke was my first ever shiny and I was in such disbelief over it I was almost late for my class because I had to save 5 million times before putting the game down. Btw

[talubld-archive]

I watched the 2000 pkm movie yesterday (the one with lugia) and man. I want a plot featuring Kaito with a similar premise - but showing how he would react as lugia's guardian.

[ajdrawshq]

i have an internal rule when playing competitive pokemon that i need to use at LEAST one pokemon in my team that u just. never see people use (at least in higher tiers) and while its a pain sometimes its incredible how well some "lesser" pokemon can put in work against a lot of the recent power-creepy mons. u would not believe how well Alomomola can counter so many of the gen 9 physical powerhouses this thing is fucking ridiculous

[lilac-melody]

I am such a big shit-talker in games...

[superbellsubways]

seen a couple of these around so im joining in

I tried picking the faves I find Underrated or not talked about too much in most of the community. i love them all very much

bootleg pokemon advent calender review

so my mom got me this pokemon-themed advent calender filled with a bunch of bootleg figurines earlier this month and i opened the first door at the time but i completely forgot about it until now. so with it being christmas eve i thought it would be fun to go through each figurine for funsies because i'm utterly fascinated with what i got.

day one: muk

this was the only one i had knowledge of throughout the entire month. at first i was thinking "well if you look at it as muk's shiny then it could be passable" before remembering that muk's shiny is green and not blue. regardless, congrats to muk on the blue goo and pronouns. 3/10

day two: reuniclus

i can never spell this damn thing's name. i was pleasantly surprised to see reuniverse though, as it was evident that this calender wasn't going to just be filled with gen one pokemon like i suspected. gen five was actually tied with gen one for the most figurines with six, surpringly! unfortunately there's nothing after gen six though, not even any regional variants.

back to reunicorn, this is definitely on the higher end just for being the correct colour lmao. the bottom part of reunionize does not look like that though. 8/10

day three: clefairy

one of the better figurines for sure! while it's still evidently of bootleg quality, it could feasibly pass as official just for being the correct colours. her doing the little metronome dance from the anime in her posing is a nice touch too! 9/10

day four: tyrunt

oh my god they poured tar on him. why are his eyes soulless. he looks possessed. this makes me sad i don't like this one. 2/10

day five: dedenne

she's a little confused but she's got the spirit, i think. needs to be more orange but i guess looking like you're made of cheese is fitting for a mouse-like creature. 6/10

day six: miltank

ohhh i really hate this thing. i'm not a miltank hater by any means but this one looks gross and mouldy to me. girl go have a bath. 1/10

day seven: arbok

WHAT DID THEY DO TO MY GIRL!!!!!! SHE'S FUCKING NAKED!!!!!! sure they got the colour right but they stole her patterns!!! her most stunning feature!!!!!! she was proud of those patterns!!!! AND THEY STOLE THEM FROM HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hatred and anger/10

day eight: primeape

i don't want to make any comments about the eyes since i don't have strabismus, but i like that they kept his anger. the personality still manages to shine through here. the rest of the figurine is just. whatever. not the worst but not the best just completely average. 5/10

day nine: pansage

sorry the picture is ass i don't want to retake it lol. confession: while i don't really have any strong opinions on the elemental monkeys compared to a lot of fans, i do have a bit of a soft spot for pansage because i think he's adorable. rewatching the bw anime a few years back awoke that in me, and i think this one is pretty cute too! something about the :3 face just gets to me. despite missing its cream colouring, i think one is pretty solid overall! 7/10

day ten: victini

behold the extremely rare and powerful mythical pokemon victini! truly a marvel to witness! anyway i don't like that it's missing its teeth but it's okay i guess. 4/10

day eleven:

i don't really have much to say on this one tbh? i like that they gave it a stand since it would just fall over with those stubby little legs i guess but i just. don't see anything to really talk about here. 3/10

day twelve: grumpig

not as soulless-looking as tyrunt was, and maybe it's helped partially by grumpig already having some dark grey in its usual colour scheme so it doesn't look thaaat unusual, but it's still not a good one. 3/10

day thirteen: slowking

gives me the same gross and mouldy vibes as miltank but not as bad i think. i like the pose. i don't think i've ever seen slowking cross its arms like that in any official pokemon media or merch so there's some points for uniqueness. 4/10

day fourteen: darumaka

my son murngus who i fed a ball. i love this thing. this is peak. we're never getting any better than this. tpci should make this official merch. love and peace/10

day fifteen: swirlix

this is my daughter white boy. while i have criticisms with the lumps being too pronounced (they should be softer and more subtle imo) and the lack of feet, i honestly kinda love this one? it reminds me of those pathetic white dogs that look like they'll fall over if you breathe on them too hard, and while the big bumps don't give the image of candy floss like they're supposed to, this reminds me of a cloud in a way, which is still lovely to think about. 9/10

day sixteen: beartic

who hurt you beartic. the colours are right at least but. the face. 3/10

days seventeen, eighteen and nineteen: croconaw, totodile, feraligatr

i got the whole family one after another so might as well cover them together.

croconaw: the sniler...... croconaw manages to be the definition of both creepy AND wet here. it's unsettling a little bit but it gives it some personality. 6/10

totodile: i do not like that mouth whatsoever. what the fuck. 2/10

feraligatr: i have to question why feraligatr is a slightly different shade of blue than its younger siblings but that's neither here nor there. it's alright but the eyes are a bit unnerving to me. 4/10

day twenty: chimchar

the only gen four pokemon of the batch, which is sad for me as a gen four fan. it's fine but this one lacks chimchar's signature flame tail. unfortunate since chimchar canonically farting out fire is a key characteristic to me. 5/10

day twenty one: gothitelle

i look like this irl. not really much to complain about with this one side from the lack of a mouth and the face being white rather than purple. i like the complete and utter torment in her eyes. i could fix her fr. 7/10

day twenty two: grovyle

dedicating this one to my fellow pmd fans! they fucking peeled our lad!! the pose is kinda cool though. 6/10

day twenty three: aurorus

this one is a falls into the category of ugly cute to me. they used the wrong shade of blue but it's still fine imo. i simultaneously like the eyes but also don't like them. i'm very conflicted on how i feel about the finer details of this one but it's okay overall imo. 6/10

day twenty four: psyduck

ngl i was kinda hoping for something special for the last one. maybe delibird to go with it being for christmas, or another legendary/mythical, but i've been rewatching the anime again recently and they are so fucking mean to misty's psyduck that it's borderline unpleasant to watch at times, so you know what? psyduck deserves this.

it's pretty alright for a bootleg too. they got all the colours and key details right, even if it's rather shoddy, so i'll be generous with this one. 9/10

if you read all of this then thank you for joining me on this journey. i'm so glad i spent christmas eve deciding to review shitty knock-off pokemon merch rather than celebrating with my friends and family. and i'm very sorry that i released these beasts from their prison and have made them everyone else's problem now.

[jadeazora]

I'm really hoping they fix that obnoxious Error 10006 soon. Had to sit thru three download bars. Like, holy hell, it's been like 5 months now, why hasn't this been sorted out yet?

But aside from that bitter note, finally, the Ghost/Grass alt for Gardenia is real! (Funny thing was, I had scheduled a post to drop in September talking about the possibility of her getting a Ghost/Grass Halloween alt, but that's getting banished to the Shadow Realm now. I was a seasonal event off lol) Acerola gets Jellicent!

Kabu is our Lodge Pair for this month, partnered with Torkoal.

Klara is tempting, but I have Geeta, I really just need a sturdier Poison support, but she's Tech, so I probably won't go for her. And unless Avery hits harder than Steven, he's got no chance of a scout. (They use G-Slowbro and G-Slowking respectively.) Greta gets Breloom.

The ticketed pairs for the new Damage Mode are Nemona (Lycanroc-Midday), Hugh (Unfezant), Marnie (Scrafty), and Gladion (Weavile). We're apparently getting a event alt for Wally with Altaria too.

Jayvik Pokémon teams??

Jayce:

Charizard - this was absolutely his starter Pokémon. He picked out Charmander because of his absolute fear of the cold, and wanted to make sure he would always have a fire Pokémon to hand.

Tinkaton - self explanatory. Definitely got inspiration of his own hammer from theirs.

Coalassal - one of his earliest Pokémon. Caught them for the sake of helping with the forge, and puts them to work when he's smitthing over battling.

Froslass - he saw a Snorut shivering out in the cold and immediately took it home with them. For several days they weren't even officially caught by him, he was so intent on warming them up, the Snorut actually tapped the Pokéballs on his belt herself, allowing herself to be captured.

Rotom - this is his lab assistant, always buzzes around and helps test the power of his experiments. Rotom has definitely been witness to one too many lab explosions.

Type: Null - either a Pokémon Jayce accidentally created, the same way he accidentally created Machine Herald Viktor, or an anomaly he rescued from within the arcane. Either way, they're deeply trauma bonded.

Viktor:

Goodra - this worlds stand in for Rio. Viktor didn't get an official starter Pokémon, but he did rescue a sick and hurt Sliggoo from being experimented on.

Corviknight - the narrative foil to Jayce's Tinkaton. Rookidee was the first Pokémon he actually caught after battling

Dhelmise - Caught in the more polluted water in Zaun. Was the last Pokémon Viktor caught at home before moving to Piltover

Klinklang - Viktor was gifted a baby Klink from Heimendinger when he became his assistant. This is his lab helper, and prior to working with Jayce, Viktor would work best while talking at them.

Slowking - originally he caught slowpoke with the idea of raising it into a slowbro, but through their work and research ended up passing a lot of this knowledge onto their Pokémon, triggering Slowkings evolution. Slowking would be the only one of Viktor's Pokémon still around with Mage Viktor.

Gallade - representative of Viktor's automatons later in the series. Raltz would be native to Piltover if still rare, and would provide great assistance for Viktor.

[hoshi-neko-hikari]

"Hello there, little one." Greeted a talking Slowking as he approached Hikari. "Do not be alarmed. I am Slowking, the Royal Pokemon." (@muses-of-the-memory)

“Ooooh! hi, mistew Swowking! You gots a pwetty cwown!”

Celebrating 🥳

[rosecorspe]

Ignihyde Pokémon

Main-🌟 Shiny-✨

Steelix ♀🌟

A Brave Natured PKMN with the ability Sturdy

Notable Moves-

Gyro Ball

Earthquake

Stealth Rock

Curse

She's a reserved PKMN who only tends to make noise when she moves. Zom met her whilst on his way to fight Cynthia on Victory Road. Some team Galactic grunts were causeing issues and Steelix was trying to defend the other PKMN from being caught. Zom helped stop team Galactic and Steelix chose to come with him. Now adays she protects the others by scaring off everyone.

Rotom Phone & Dex

Dex is a Bold Natured PKMN while Phone is Calm Natured

Notable Moves-

Volt Switch

Thunderbolt

Shadow Ball

Trick/Defog

A duo that's hardly seperated. Dex is the talkative one, though they're strong headed. Phone is sarcastic and the lazier one. Zom caught them at the same time and ended up posseing his Pokedex and Phone in there respective regions; Dex in Alola, Phone in Galar. Neither are really used in battles but can if they want. They also like to cause issues but that's for later

Rillaboom♂ 🌟

An Adamant Natured PKMN with the ability Overgrow

Notable Moves-

Swords Dance

Drum Beating

Knock Off

Drain Punch

Meeting a Grookey that ended up in more than he can chew; Zom and Roserade free him. Turns out Grookey is the Professer's but he endes up tagging along. He was always more adventureous so he always found hidden areas that Zom would explore. As per the Grookey line, he's very attached to his drum and sticks; if they get damaged Rillaboom ends up moody.

Arcanine♂🌟

A Jolly Natured PKMN with the ability Intimidate

Notable Moves-

Flame Charge

Extreme Speed

Close Combat

Return

He acts like a lap dog, he's not a lap dog. Arcanine was from an egg he got from his Aunt, she wanted hime to learn how to care for PKMN eggs. Since then Arcanine has been loyal to Zom since. When he's out in battle becomes completely serious. Getting thrown into Twisted Wonderland he was cold to pretty much everyone; though now he's mellowed out a bit.

Slowking♀🌟

A Modest Natured PKMN with the ability Reganerator

Notable Moves-

Scald

Ice Beam

Future Sight

Dragon Tail

Slowking can comunicate through telepathy, so she's one of the few PKMN people can (kinda) understand. She's intelligent as most Slowking's are; she one of the PKMN that made sure Ramshakle wouldn't fall apart. Zom notices that she sometimes separates from Shellder from time to time, they usually stay near each other though. Zom also has her watch the "Braincell Trio".

I should be able to actually upload more parts now that chaos has passed.

long story short: Father got hospitalised and I'm gonna be an Uncle by like October

[watered-cress]

The one and only Cress of Striaton City and the best out of the three of us! Feel free to ask for a challenge if you ever see me, I, Cress, would be happy to indulge you!

☀️Daylight/Toaster!! Yeah, you’re probably here after I moved him here— hi again! All previous interactions are still present and active don’t worry! Just moved him as he was my main blog due to my little brain not being able to comprehend that I could just. Follow from a main blog and just elaborate in the bio or pinned post. My bad chat.

Still!! Relisting his pokemon and ref sheet below;

— Persephone (Simipour)

— Honey (Slowking, may have brief instances of typing. Indicated in pink text and a ‘— H’ at the end of it.)

— Seraphina (Vaporeon)

— C-Weed (Golduck)

— Sam (Azumarill)

— Harry (Crawdaunt)

— Shello (Samurott)

— Carl (Seismitoad)

— Lily (Lillipup)

— Percy (Basculin)

— Gyo (Basculegion)/shiny

— Novo (Kingdra)

— Garnet (Zoroark) ((I AM SO SORRY I DIDNT REALISE IT SAID GARNET TWICE LMAO))

— Lilac (Nihilego) (Same case as Honey, except there will be no sign off and instead written in the smallest font on here)

— Alphie (Walking Wake)

REF + Additional notes for headcanons beneath.

Headcanon/Notes for portrayal

— Cress WILL be a cocky bastard half of the time and.. just kind of an awkward teenager in a quarter of that time. The rest he will be (regrettably) in desperate need of therapy or generally deranged. Each of these has their own tags.

‘Don’t eat the petals’ = Cocky

‘Base ingredient for tea’ = Awkward teen

‘Still Waters’ = The rest of the time

If a post lacks any of these, that. Just means I don’t really know how to classify it, probably since it doesn’t really fall into any of those.

�� He is portrayed as 16 here, but do note that this portrayal has him and Chili as twins and Cilan a year older at 17. This is necessary to be known, I’d honestly find it funny if everyone just universally misinterpreted the three of them as being triplets and them just all being ‘.. no???’

— Yes, he’s part Kyogre. Blame Dan’s (old and not on here) Colress for that. He deliberately tries to hide it though!

— Follows Shadow Triad theory… except it’s just Cress instead of all three of them.

— Liar. He’s lying so much and sometimes it is SO obvious.

— Poalesshipping, sorry (not).

— He actually.. kinda doesn’t know most of the other gym leaders on more than a basic level besides like, Burgh and Lenora. He’s trying though.

— Part-time BBA Student. No one’s surprise, he doesn’t really talk to anyone there.
