On "Uncatchable" Pokemon

No matter your views on battle culture, and particularly trainer culture, it would be outright ignorant to say that it hasn't improved vastly over the past couple decades. From wild captures being significantly less common and more regulated overall to the death of the "gotta catch 'em all" mentality in most regions, trainer culture has globally become more and more conscious to the needs of the pokemon over the benefits to the human trainer. However, there is one aspect of trainer culture that, the niche, has remained persistent and problematic throughout years and years of improvement in nearly every other department. This aspect is the concept of "Uncatchable" pokemon.

Now, to clarify, when I refer to "Uncatchable pokemon", I'm not referring to pokemon of legend status, mythic status, extrauniversal pokemon (commonly referred to as Ultra Beasts), or the Paradox pokemon generated by Professor Sada and Professor Turo's experimentation. These pokemon, though extremely powerful with capture heavily regulated by law, do not fall under the trainer-defined category of "Uncatchable". An "Uncatchable" pokemon is one that cannot be captured or otherwise raised independently. More often than not, this is because the Pokemon in question has a parasitic, symbiotic, or parent-child relationship with another Pokemon that would make it unhealthy or even fatal to force independence.

Two pokemon that fall into the latter category, and are often unfairly targeted by poachers and irresponsible trainers, are the infant forms of Kangaskhan and Rellor. Particularly, these pokemon are often targeted by competitive trainers participating in what are known as "little cup" tournaments—often unofficial tournaments where the primary rule is that only very young, low-level, first-stage pokemon may be used. Though these tournaments do have positive aspects, namely their ability to allow beginner trainers to get a foothold in concepts of battle strategy without feeling intimidated, like all aspects of competitive battling, there are a large subset of trainers who are simply in it to win it all costs with no regard to the pokemon that they use.

Baby Kangaskhan is viewed as a potential meta-changer due to the sheer power of its adult form. However, all known instances of separation between mother and child Kangaskhan have led to severe drops in quality of life for the baby that make it impossible for this pokemon to be a viable battler. The only instance in which a baby Kangaskhan can battle healthily is alongside and through the mega evolution of its parent, and ethics of this practice are hotly debated as there are several cases in which the mother Kangaskhan shows the stress at the side of its child fighting. Though these cases may be chalked up to personality differences between different Kangaskhan, the same cannot be said for separation cases.

Nearly 100% of wild separation cases are fatal, with the sparse few survivors living much shorter and unhealthier lives than their properly raised counterparts. With human intervention, the fatality rate goes down, but the baby Kangaskhan still exhibit symptoms of PTSD, as well as severe mental and physical developmental disorders that leave it essentially stuck in a child-like state for its entire life. Even with human intervention, the separated baby will never learn how to battle, and all moves learned will be ineffective. Many separated babies do not even attempt to battle, perpetually expecting their mother to guard them even though she's gone. Physically, even if these babies make it to adulthood, there will be much more frail and susceptible to illness than their parented counterparts. They will also never develop their adult scales, leaving them more prone to accidental injury and infection. The theories on why this occurs range from the baby having a latent psychic connection to the mother to maternal connection simply being a requirement for healthy development in this particular species, but regardless of what the truth is, all separation cases are harmful to the baby, and throughout the rntire history of training as a sport, no progress has been made in changing this. It is hotly debated whether or not it is ethical to raise a separated baby Kangaskhan to adulthood as a result.

Infant Rellor is even worse. Though Rellor itself is currently viable by most little cup standards, it is also disqualified in many unofficial tournaments due to the existence of infant Rellor and the insistence that, since it is such a vastly different form, Rellor as an independent pokemon is an evolution and cannot qualify. However, this is an entirely unfair and harmful assessment to make, as this infant form cannot exist separately from the parent Rabsca, or even the dung ball it exists within. If the infant Rellor is broken out of this dung ball too early in development, it will die in 95% of cases. The sparse few recorded survival cases have only occurred as result of two factors: a Rabsca (not necessarily the original parent) quickly forming a new dung ball around the infant, and human intervention. Even with these factors at play, survival is still dependent on the stage of development of the infant, any injuries sustained during the removal from the dung ball, and the speed at which it is transported either back into a dung ball or into an artificial gestation tank. Infants broken out of their done ball early also tend to exhibit higher rates of developmental disorders, physical disabilities, and neurological disorders. Universally, their ability to manipulate psychic energy is severely impaired, and many do not exhibit the ability to evolve into Rabsca.

Shellder is a different story. It is a commonly known fact that Shellder experiences drastic physiological changes after clamping onto a host Slowpoke—changes drastic enough to be considered an evolution by some. In certain trainer circles, this debated evolution is known as "Turban", both in reference to the shells of some non-pokemon mollusks as well as the headwear of the same name. With the form-altering venom produced by these pokemon as well as the sharp teeth and powerful jaws, it's been theorized that this form of Shellder may have a water/poison typing and be able to battle if selectively bred and raised to do so.

Unfortunately for the Shellder and Slowpoke evolutions involved in this debate, separation of a Shellder and Slowpoke after evolution is universally detrimental. The Shellder itself will always die unless it is reattached to another Slowpoke, and will be in severe distress the entire time it is detached. It cannot reattach itself due to its body losing the ability to move, and it will not listen to orders from its trainer, blindly biting the air until a new Slowpoke is found. If it is reattached within a few days, it will more than likely survive, but it will produce higher amounts of venom and exert a notably higher bite force in order to ensure it does not get detached again. This often leads to higher levels of intelligence in the Slowpoke evolution, but also higher levels of aggression and resentment towards other living species, particularly the species that separated it. One case documented a Slowking resulting from a detached Shellder that wiped out an entire seaside town in rage-fueled psychic storm. Though it was eventually captured and sent off to a sanctuary, it never fully regained trust in humans.

Comparatively, the Slowpoke experiencing detachment suffers a much harsher fate. There is a persistent belief that Slowbro will harmlessly devolve back into Slowpoke if separated. Though it will eventually devolve—being the only pokemon known to do so—this process is highly stressful to the Slowbro and may result in death. This is due to withdrawals from the Shellder venom as well as neurological and physiological decay. The symptoms can be as mild as flu-like symptoms such as headaches and nausea to as severe as heart palpitations and seizures. It will also lose the ability to walk in a bipedal manner, and will need to re-learn how to fish using its tail.

Slowking separation is almost always fatal for the Slowking. Unlike Slowbro, it is incapable of devolution due to the Shellder venom being a requirement for proper neurological function, and the Shellder is fused to the skull, causing grievous bodily harm once removed. Galarian Slowking have far higher rates of immediate fatality than Kantonian Slowking, but both pokemon will suffer a drastic drop in quality of life after the separation event. Like separated Kangaskhan, it is widely considered unethical to keep a Slowking alive post-separation as it will be unable to maintain a humane quality of life. It will be unable to communicate its needs, unable to eat or drink without assistance, unable to groom itself, incapable of locomotion beyond a flailing crawl, suffer frequent seizures, and be at a high risk of meningitis among many other complications. Though some pokemon rights activists insist that a separated Slowking can be given a new Shellder or even kept alive without one and still live a happy life, these claims are unfounded in veterinary medicine, and the damage caused by a separation event is largely irreversible.

In conclusion, for the health of these pokemon, we need to demystify the concept of "Uncatchable" pokemon. You may have noticed me using quotation marks around the word "Uncatchable" for the duration of this essay. This is because I firmly believe we should not be using this term, as it generates a sense of challenge for a community notorious for enjoying insurmountable challenges. I propose we push to change the terminology to "unethical pokemon" in order to dispell any sense of challenge or mystique. These pokemon are not physically uncatchable. They are simply doomed to suffer if not kept in their pair bond. For trainer culture to move past this stopping block, this is a fact that must be acknowledged.

Wait where is the art of mew eating luvdisc?

It's All in GOK! Prince got some fishies for everyone to snack on :3

In case yall didn't know, this is Content warning for Blood, Pokemon death and Animals being animals.

I personally don't see an issue with it, so coming up with the proper content warnings have been tough. So if i'm missing one, or there is one you think should be added, feel free to let me know!

[deconstructed-paradise]

Oh, Pearl. You poor thing. She really is trying her best. As an adult, I suppose I relate much more to her. She wants to protect the past, and her heritage, but all Steven wants is the facsimile of an adulthood he doesn't even understand.

There will be other things like cookie cat, that are lost forever to him. Thousands of losses. He hasn't even known his mother enough to mourn her, has he? He truly is a child.

…you know, I mourned the family mincinno more than my parents. I never knew Mom and Dad, not really. I was too young. But Jan was my best friend as a child.

I think I was seven when I lost him. The poison took its toll.

I…. I hope my pokemon are doing all right. They can be placed into stasis much easier than humans, and all I've heard about them is that it's a delicate process. It might take months before they can be awakened properly.

SOMEONE'S OUTDOOR PURLOIN KEEPS BRINGING BACK DEAD PIDOVES TO THE POKECENTER I VOLUNTEER AT. HOW DO I PROTECT THE NESTS (I work in Nacrene City, Unova, literally right next to Pinwheel Forest 🙄 )

Steal the purrloin and keep it for yourself or give it to someone who'll actually take care of it. Hope this helps!

I've just found out my favorite necklace is made with a persian's gem. My wife got me it for our 5th anniversary and I've worn it almost every day. I think I'm gonna be sick—

Oh I've heard of this!!!!!!!!! There's a client or business partner or some external contract worker or some business weirdness. Whatever the role we talked and e said that e made earrings with espeon gems for eir girl. E was great actually. Terrifying to be around but verrery interesting~~. Apparently a starmie's gem core can be cut down into whole set of jewellery and sold for a ton! Backup plans if this collapses on me, hey?

This isn't helping you, is it, anon? Uhhh go talk see if they knew you're feelings on the matter and if they knew the necklace used pokémon parts.

[koffing-time]

Roll passed away tonight. I'm devastated. I wasn't even awake for it. The surgery took so long, i must have passed out. The doctors say the surgery was a success, as in: they did what they had planned to, and it seemed to be working, even. But it was just too late. His body was too dehydrated and couldn't get hydration going while also dealing with the anaesthesia. He just didn't wake up anymore.

I'm so sorry Roll. I wish i could have given you a good life. I... just hope you enjoyed your last week. May you find a good place somewhere else.

[cooper-magnolia]

I do not like sylveon and you're gonna cry about it.

wtf ok?? get out of my inbox then it’s ok to not like sylveon but i take an issue when you say to kill it with fire

like. dude. get a hobby or something

[subjectively-incorrect]

tell us what your thoughts are on the whole project MV thing is, and the people behind it. Lets see your analysis :3

I've given many of my thoughts already. Check my tagged posts.

In short:

The Dog is.. dangerous. Projects an image of fun and uncaring, but it's clear that isn't the case. The rest of the internet doesn't seem to care. (Are they idiots? Or am I missing something?) Oddly, he seems to have been exposed as a means of further hurting the Snake. It doesn't appear to have worked.

The Snake. Fairly clear cut. Enacting vigilante justice and a repeat murderer. Clearly has an extensive history with the Fox that I haven't looked into yet.

The Fox is unwell. Has a deep hatred for the Snake, and submits to suicidal ideation. Supposedly will create more games for us, so we have that to look forward to.

Nokia is doing exactly as she's told. Perhaps the only true victim in it all. I try not to get attached but I was somewhat relieved to learn she will not be modified.

[An audio has been uploaded onto the account... would you like to listen...?]

//Warning for a lot fowl language, violence, along with threats (both of violence and death) and brief mentions of past abuse.

[The sound of stomping is picked up first, heavy boots thudding against wooden tile as someone storms down whatever hallway they're in, the sound of a distant conversation can be heard as the voices quickly get louder and louder-

"and that's why I feel like Charizard should be a Dragon fire type!" It seems to be Lance?

"Fucking piece of shit, keeping him this long because of damn Dragon types I swear to fuck-" The other voice sounds like Silver, but there's something off, clearly Adam is messing with his voice to make him sound different.

Suddenly the sound of doors swinging open and slamming into walls is heard, and things go silent, until Lance speaks up.

"Ah! Silv- Silver! It's nice to see-" "Shut the fuck up fuck face."

The sound of stomping boots once again echos in the audio, a chair scraping against tile and someone's clothes rustling follows after "Adam what are you doing?!" Is said not even slightly above a whisper. "Getting you fucking out of here, what does it look like?!"

"Hey! What do you think you ar-" "You've been holding O-... Gold in this damn meeting for too long, we're leaving." "Can't he chose that for himself?"

There's a beat of silence, you can almost sense the anger and tension in the audio.

"What do you fucking think dickhead? We're leaving." "But you just got here! You need to at least-" "I'm not listening to you drone on about fucking Dragons, stay out of our shit."

As the foot steps start again, the sound of a pokeball is heard, followed quickly by the snarl of a draconic pokemon.

"Ah, bad boy Soaring Sky, don't block the door." Lance says flatly, loud thuds occur in a rapid pace, followed by a harsh sounding thump followed by a rough snort.

"Oh, bad bad boy... well, I can't move him, so I guess you'll have to stay!~ You wouldn't want to make my Dragonite mad now would you Silver...?~"

There's a deafening silence, a low growl can be heard... "Adam... Adam it's not worth it- please just- A- SILVER-!"

The sound of fast footsteps can be heard along with the very loud SMACK of skin against skin, the sound of a chair knocking over, and someone falling to the ground, Silver's voice giving way into something much darker and more violent, only the recording can seemingly pick up what is said next. "If you don't move your dumbass dragon in the next 5 seconds I will send all of my ice types to ice beam him and turn him into the most bloody ice statue you have ever seen, then do that to you NEXT, you fucking understand?!"

A brief moment of quiet follows, the sound of the Dragonite breaks through it as it starts coming closer.

"You better get off me Silver, we don't want you to get a matching scar on your other shoulder now do- HMPF?!"

"You better shut your damn mouth before I follow through with my threat you abusive prick."

There's more silence from the two of them, the Dragonite stomps over faster, growl picking up in intensity before what sounds like a low Pyroar growl comes from... what seems like Silver's body, it rumbles and vibrates lowly in a threat of pure rage.

... The Dragonite shuts up.

"... We're fucking leaving."

The audio ends]

I've been working throughout the day to get Hoenn evacuated and let me just tell you something point-blank:

The shadow sky has claimed lives. It will claim yours if you are not careful. Do not be a hero if you're not equipped to be one.

I've seen flocks of Swablu drop from the sky. There's a wild Zangoose in here that's half-burnt alive. Flesh and bone adrift in the craters. It ate through a child. I watched him breathe his last breath. The screams...

Is this what you wanted?

[paldean-ranger-brandy]

Went out to look at a dead Donphan out by Cascarrafa. Tusks had been removed, so it's pretty clear someone's collecting some ivory - and they probably got a good hunk outta this one, that dead bitch was UP there in years.

Got a wild hariyama to help haul the body back to the base station. Honey and I spent the day reviewing the case, so I just got back to finally take a closer look. Looks like it was attacked, prooobably by a water type if I had to guess, based on the injuries. Which is actually great, if it had been poisoned we'd have a huge hunk of useless meat. At least this way Michael and Macaroon can go to town on it.

Did you know mightyena have a strong enough bite strength + stomach to chow down on the bones of their food? It's very cool to watch, makes a very satisfying crunching sound. Poochyena normally can too, but Macaroon still has really poor bite strength from whatever team calm did to her. But after watching Michael she's starting to get into chewing on the hide! I've even gotten her to play a real game of tug-o'-war with some of the trunk :') she's really starting to come out of her shell.

I know it's probably not an ideal "send-off" for the donphan but eh. That kinda thing always seems so hokey to me. At least this way the body is useful for living creatures, yanno?

Bitleaks File 01

[The only thing in this Post is a Video File]

[The Video starts with a Splash Screen as depicted below]

[The Resolution changes to a 2:3 Aspect Ratio with 128x192 Pixels (standard Resolution for Xtransceiver and related Gadgets)]

[It appears to be a Headcam Video of somebody(Person A) walking through an abandoned Industrial Park]

[The Clouds are dark, Thunder can be heard, but no Rain is visible or audible on the Video]

[The Buildings are in a State of Disrepair and Pokémon like Grimer and Trubbish have found a new Home between the Trash and Industrial Waste.]

[Person A can be heard breathing through a Gas Mask. Their Breath: unsteady]

[Additionally 3 Pokémon are accompanying Person A

Scizor, right Pincer injured, keeping Pace with Person A but at a Distance of 6 Feet.

Mawile, Situated in a Baby Carrier worn by Person A, Mouth is covered by a small Gas Mask, Maw is not covered.

Vikavolt, flying around in erratic Patterns, it keeps alternating between hovering in Place and quickly Flying to a new Hover Place, the Low Bass of it's wings is heard throughout the Video]

[Person A begins talking:"Where the fuck is Bit?"]

[they frantically look around, bright blue Hair can bee seen at the Edges of the Cameras vision.]

["Bit did you digitize yourself again? are you for real? i thought you wanted to go here?"]

[A small Sprite of a Porygon2 appears on the Video, it is superimposed on top of it. at first it does what can best be described as a Laugh, and then a little Dance.]

[Person A: "You are the worst. A+ Coward Behaviour. Shitass."]

[The Porygon seems to take delight in being verbally abused and continues the Dance]

[The Group reaches an abandoned Power Plan]

[upon realizing that Person A lacks the Strength to open the Door, they order the Scizor to Bullet Punch the Door open.]

[The Inside of the Entrance Hall is filled with a group of sleeping Grimer, with a few Gestures Person A commands their Pokémon to stay silent and stealthy, Vikavolt stops flying and starts crawling on the Floor.]

[Person A purposefully and stealthily approaches an Industrial Size Door in the Back. the Electricity is still on. Person A presses a Button. it opens the Path into a large Cooling Tower, about 150 Feet in Diameter.]

[Person A looks behind them to make sure that the Grimer are still asleep.]

[There is a Spiral Staircase constructed at the inner Diameter of the Tower, Person A and their Group start descending]

[Through the Bad Quality of the Video it is quite unclear what lies at the Bottom, it Flashes both orange and green, and is illuminating something large and yellow.]

[Person A: "no way, why is that there? i thought this was gonna be easy. Fuck fuck fuck. Schkrinkel i probably need you for this."]

[Mawile is removed from the Baby Carrier]

[Person A: "make sure to bite as hard as you can. Go for the Head. i don't want this to turn into a Battle.]

[Person A points towards the Large Yellow Thing, at this point it is clear that it is a Pokémon, and it is sleeping in Front of a Machine made of Glass, something in there is Blinking in orange and green.]

[The Mawile slowly approaches the large Yellow Pokémon, and prepares to bite with it's Maw. It Bites down hard, the Effort is visible in its Body Tension.]

[A loud Cry is Heard, and the Pokémon Raises it's Head, It's Zapdos. The Mawile only injured it's right Wing.]

[Person A: "I told you to go for it's head, you Fuck!"]

[The Zapdos is fully awake now and starts attacking Mawile, at first it tries to Peck at it, the tiny Mawile is not prepared for this but manages to block a few hits with it's Maw.]

[Person A: "Sense, go defend your friend. kill that fucking Thing."]

[Scizor attacks the Zapdos with a Bullet Punch to the Back]

[Zapdos realizes it won't win on the Ground and tries to Fly, but it's injured Wing prevents it from starting a proper Flight, instead it clings it's Talons into the inner Wall of the Tower and half-flies half-climbs.]

[The Intensity of the Battle has awoken the Grimer from the Hall above and they start pouring into the Cooling Tower.]

[Person A: " Okay, change of Plan, Schkrinkle you go after the Grimer, cover for Sense. Sense you need to use your Flash cannon to get that Bird down. (tone goes sarcastic) and if only i had a pokémon who knew Ice Beam, that would be helpful wouldn't it? BIT?" (Bit is sleeping on the Screen)]

[The Pokémon comply, the Mawile Iron Heads the Grimer away, while Scizor starts shooting it's Flash Cannon. Scizor doesn't even Aim, it looks to the Ground and raises it's left Pincer, Flash after Flash is released from it.]

[Person A takes cover behind Rubble.]

[Zapdos is currently locked in half-Flight Battle with Vikavolt. They are exchanging Zap Cannons, none of them take a lot of Damage and they keep charging the other one up.]

[Zapdos is eventually hit by the Flash Cannon of Scizor, and crashes into the Machine in the Middle of the Tower, a loud Crash and an Explosion is heard.]

[After a few Seconds Person A emerges from their Cover behind the Rubble. They begin searching for their Pokémon. Glass shards are everywhere.]

[The Grimer have been badly affected by the Explosion, many are only moments away from Fainting. Most have Glass Shards sticking out of them.]

[The First Pokémon they find is Vikavolt who descends from the Top of the Tower, it seems proud of what it did.]

[Scizor was blasted to the Wall by the Explosion, however it quickly stands up and acts like nothing has happened.]

[Together they start searching for Mawile, and it seems that it has disappeared.]

[Person A: "Be quiet! I'm hearing something." they give a hand sign to be quiet.]

[a loud slimy chewing Sound can be heard.]

[Person A approaches a large Pile of Rubble and finds Mawile behind there, no longer wearing it's Gas Mask. It has an Expression of pure hate. It is chewing on the Glass Shard covered Corpse of a Grimer]

[Person A: "Stop, what are you doing!? Stop! Bad Schkrinkel! You are disgusting!"]

[They run over trying to pry the Maw open, but it seems too late, it has already swallowed.]

[Mawiles face is full of Satisfaction, it is glad that it did this.]

[Person A: "i hate to do this, get back in the Ball, why did you eat that? you don't like center Visits do you?"]

[Mawile returns to the Ball with a pouty Mouth]

[Person A now looks over to the Machine, and the passed out Zapdos lying on top of it.]

[Person A: "Can you imagine... if i caught it. if i threw a Ball at it. I would own a Zapdos." *they retrieved a Ball from their Bag and are contemplating throwing it.* " Me the owner of a Legendary Bird... Laughable." *the ball is placed back into the Bag*]

[Person A approaches the Machine, they reach their gloved Hands inside to retrieve a small Part, it was the Source of the orange and green Blinking.]

[Person A(gleeful): "only two more... Bit can you believe it? We already have three."]

[The Feed Cuts on a closeup of the Machine Part]

Pepper and Salt are such bittersweet brothers. I'm so angry at their original Trainer just abandoning them on the mountain and Salt... died there. But he came back as a Ghost Type and resumed trying to keep Pepper safe in the cold.

Humans can be so mean sometimes, I wish they weren't... but I also am very thankful that those little Zoruas trusted me to come with me back to Po Town so I could nurse Pepper back to health and give Salt the safety and comfort he needed after he perished.

I love my boys. They both deserve so many scritches and smooches on their snoots.

He took care of me until the disaster relief people found me

Everyone was sick and it was a ghost town in days

I was just a baby

But Jan took good care of me

Really good care

They couldn't treat him fully

I mean this was a really really nasty toxin. He ate pecha berries every day but he couldn't

I sometimes think. Maybe he could have been

💀 -tell me of loss

I think I mentioned it, but I lost a spearow a few years ago. She was pretty old and had heart issues; ended up needing to put her down, because her quality of life was impossible to bring up. She was a sweet bird, and I had her for ~15 years. Traded a magikarp for her at a festival. I still miss her, honestly.
