Note from your mods: Please don't be discouraged if your favorite Pokémon, or the Pokémon you've been assigned to write about, is low on the above list! These stats show which Pokémon writers specifically wanted to write a story about (not necessarily reflecting those they'd like to read/hear a fic of) and many factors went into their choices. It doesn't include those occasions where writers signed up offering "any Pokémon" (48% of them!) Every Pokemon will get their chance to shine in this project ✨

Pokemon and Hunter x Hunter as decided by my friend @doodle-storm after only seeing Hunter Exam and Zoldyck Family Arcs... Part 2!!! As always friend, add onto this post if there's any reasoning I've missed!

Netero: Medicham (I think the rationale here was that despite looking a little goofy, it's actually quite strong. I think this guy is very appropriate for Netero, for reasons I can't tell my friend yet.)

Hanzo: Greninja (It's a ninja pokemon. However, my friend laments the fact that Greninja is not bald enough, nor does it have "bedazzled eyebrows". She has therefore made an entire team for Hanzo that is purely comprised of bald and bedazzled eyebrow pokemon. She took this very seriously I'll have you know.)

Pokkle: Decidueye (An archer! She hopes Pokkle gets to finish his pokedex.)

Satotz: Omanyte (I honestly can't remember the initial reasoning but they both have mustaches and no visible mouth so that's cool.)

Menchi: Dachsbun (Bread dog. As befitting a Gourmet Hunter.)

Buhara: Snorlax (Probably needs little elaboration.)

Lippo: Rotom (Because of all the cameras in the prison and the fact that he operated from behind screens using electronics.)

Beans: Politoed (She can picture politoed in an identical suit.)

Tonpa: Trubbish (...she does not like Tonpa very much.)

Ponzu: Beedrill (Bee pokemon. She has bees in her hat.)

Bendot: Machoke (He's a fighter pokemon. Also he was going to choke Tonpa so there's that too.)

Sedokan: Litwick (It's a candle. It's also got one eye hidden.)

Majitani: Wishiwashi (We spent a long time trying to find a pokemon that sort of gives that impression of guy trying to look way more intimidating than he is... She decided on Wishiwashi because its school form is powerful but it also reverts back to weaker solo form when wounded.)

Leroute: Salazzle (I did not know there were pokemon people thirsted for and I don't think I needed to know that. Anyways, Salazzle is kind of an exotic creature and she was involved in exotic animal trafficking so. Checks out.)

Johness the Dissector: none. (She tried to think of one but really couldn't. We both kind of agreed that he probably wouldn't have any on account of... probably killing them.)

Geretta: Aromatisse (I don't know lol. I think this was just vibes.)

Agon: Galarian Farfetch'd (He appeared to have been a fencer so I think this was the closest thing. Plus eyebrows.)

Bodoro: Gallade (She was trying to think of an honourable type of pokemon. I don't think she was entirely sold on Gallade, especially since she gave Kurapika one later on, but we moved on.)

Bourbon: Seviper (Viper for the snake charmer.)

Nicholas: Abra (Abra just kind of sleeps, and though Nicholas tried to predict the Hunter Exam, he wasn't prepared for it, so I think that was the rationale here.)

Siper: Inteleon (A sniper pokemon for the sniper. I questioned why she was giving this minor character a pokemon when I'm pretty sure she didn't even have a speaking line, to which she replied, and I quote, "Yeah, but I want her to step on me.")

Sommy: Aipom (Mischievous monkey for the monkey trainer.)

Todo: Hariyama (Sumo pokemon for the sumo guy.)

Amori Brothers: Falinks (Yes, all three of them have the same pokemon. They work together for team attacks and so do the brothers. Do not separate.)

Zeno: Roaring Moon (I brought up Zeno's association with dragons. She liked the vibe of this one for him.)

Silva: Kommo-o (I think she wanted to keep the dragon theming. ...she also refers to Silva as "evil He-Man". Just thought you should know.)

Kikyo: Hatterene (She picked this one because of its elegant look... and the fact that it attacks anyone who is too loud or hostile within its home range.)

Illumi: Ferrothorn (It's absolutely perfect omg. She said it attacks using spikes and thorns, and it also "has the eyes". She also cheerfully informed me it's weak to fire. She does not like Illumi very much.)

Milluki: Forretress (Also has the eyes, and stays in a shell. It shoots things I think. She was trying to pick one that calls to mind Milluki's bombs.)

Kalluto: Kartana (I mentioned Kalluto's association with paper, so she picked this one.)

Gotoh: Meowth (For the coin association. Also she thought it'd be kind of funny if all the butlers had cat or cat-like pokemon.)

Canary: Espeon (Because it evolves based on friendship... augh... also vibes.)

Zebro: Cinccino (Zebro's kind of the janitor, and Cinccino likes to clean, if I'm remembering correctly? Also it's kind of disarmingly cute and harmless looking, which fits Zebro's "taking the key from the hapless guard" shtick.)

Seaquant: Watchog (Vibes, I'm pretty sure. hjdfkbvdshjvh)

[pokemonranch]

How do you usually clean rock and ground ‘mons? I tend to use a scrubbing brush with some dry soap on it, just to get rid of some of the dirty-dirt but keep the healthy-dirt, but Ive met some people who just spray their ‘mons with a hose (or water gun, horrifically) and call it a day. Is that.. a safe thing to do?

Not all of the Ground and Rock type 'mons are fine with being hosed; mostly because most of them depend on the dirt around their body to be compact and dry as protection; but some of them just dislike it in general. The ones that are either part-water (Omanyte, Gastrodon, and Mudkip line to name a few) or that are a Ground type because of genes and not because of their physiology (Nidoking/queen for example!) can enjoy it, and water it's actually enriching or a needed element in their environment!

For the actually-has-rocks Rock/Ground types, I usually use different hardness of scrubbing brushes and even wire brushes for the ones that are part Steel. I've even heard of people that actually vacuum them to get rid of the dirt, so, lotta options here!

ROUND 4: Which is the Best Biter?

[pikkington]

Somehow managed to glitch out VC Pokemon Crystal without intending to.

Box 8 in my PC has a string of Pokemon whose names don't line up with their species (ex. Ariados is named Butterfree, the Butterfree below it is named Dewgong, etc.), but it only affects, like, five of them. I can move them out of the box with no issue, but attempting to move a glitched one anywhere in the line of glitched names causes the game to crash, then reload and show a screen saying the game pak is meant to be played with the Gameboy Color.

Also, I have misplaced my Omanyte.

[pokefossilclub]

You're a fossil mon specialist? Wonderful! What are your opinions on the omanyte line? Don't you think that they're just the greatest? Do you watch your omanyte sleep? I did. He was adorable. I kept a close eye on Him the first few months because I didn't want Him to die again. Oh, but that's a bummer of a story. Back to omanyte. Do you have many omanyte in your lab? What do you feed them? Do they get along with each other? I'd have ten omanyte if I could. The more, the better, right? But I don't want my lord to get jealous. Or eaten. I think they used to cannibalize each other in the wild. I wish they didn't do that, but who am I to deny their nature.

Well- all fossil pokemon have to die at least once, or we wouldn't have the fossils! Which is a bit of a bummer, but hey, at least it happened millions of years ago! Mostly? I get the feeling you're implying your Omanyte might have met with an accident a little more recently than that. In which case- did you get it revived again? I've heard of people trying that, but it's always run into the problem that clones aren't exact copies, and you're not actually getting the same Pokemon back again. I've had more than one person get very upset with me about that little factoid!

The Omanyte line in general is definitely one of my favourites though! We've got a couple of them at the Sanctuary as permanent members, and like all fossils they're fairly regular passers-through as people realise their care isn't just a matter of treating them exactly like a modern-day Water type. Our two permanent residents are a bonded pair, so they live together, but you're right that they can get territorial with each other! Omastar are the ones you find doing most of the cannibalizing though; as the bigger, stronger evolved form, and a rather indiscriminate ambush predator, they'll grab pretty much anything that comes within tentacle range (and that includes you, if you don't socialise them well enough that they recognise you). I wouldn't recommend introducing a whole bunch of new Omanyte to yours if it's used to having its pool to itself! Especially all at once. But if you get a small group of babies who were all hatched together (being related doesn't matter, just familiarity), and you watch carefully to make sure you're on top of any bullying or territory disagreements, they could certainly live together in a seperate pool.

I love the way they use their tentacles to cling onto you if they're fond of you, it's so cute! Has yours got a nickname? Our two here are Dotty and Dribbles. Dribbles sure does live up to her name!

[askhighpriestred]

Are all omanytes holy or just lord helix?

As much as I love all omanyte and omastar, only my lord holds divine spirit. This was not always the case, however. There was a time when my lord's spirit was shattered across all omanyte and omastar as a punishment from the Third Being. Through millennia, HE worked to gather HIS spirit into fewer and fewer individuals, concentrating it until HE inhabited only one mon at a time. Since then, only one omanyte or omastar has been truly "holy" at a time - though the omanyte line was still respected by the Helixians.

Of course, something I should clear up is the fact that there are two entities I address as "my lord" and know by the name "Helix". The first is my omanyte companion, Helix. He was cloned from a fossil I found on Mt. Moon during my journey under the influence of the Twitch. Three years after, when He was murdered on Mt. Silver by that fucking piece of shit lizard, HE contacted me - an entity also calling HIMSELF "Helix". HE explained to me that HE was the god whose spirit Helix unknowingly carried. I began to refer to HIM as "HELIX", all capitals, not that you can really tell in speech - not that I ever speak HIS name unless it is necessary. Either way, HE helped me resurrect Helix, HIS spirit being the key to this process, and I began worshipping HIM. To this day, though, only I know about HIM. The kinds of things HE teaches me and has me do are not something the public would like.

Hope that clears things up.

[fruit-salad-ship]

Speaking of murder king how are plum and rei handling the little bastard along with their reactions to meeting him for the first time

Well he’s a little ladies man, so he cosied up to plum fast and solidified that he’s an angel and could do no wrong ever. She bought that hook line and sinker, like a fool. Peach keeps telling her he’s a menace, but she’s come home to her asleep on the sofa with him in her arms and can’t fathom what an omanyte could possibly do that’s earn the name. Stories sound sus, plum doesn’t buy it.

Rei is peach’s little echo, another haphazard agent of chaos that resonates with MK. The two get on well, though Rei refuses to babysit him, he is pretty hard to handle long term.

[bear-boi-5]

Decided to be a lil silly

I decided to Ocify my Pokemon Infinite Fusion team, this is the first half

Mummy (Murma) is Azumarill and Lopunny, Mr Oma is Mr Mime and Omanyte (planning to evolve into Omastar) and Gengi is Mr Mime and Gengar

Most fusion Pokemon work together, letting both hosts control their new body but you can get a parasite in rare cases making the parasite having the most control

Gengar is the one more in control of the body, often forcing Mr Mime to stay quiet and letting him take control very rarely. You can clearly tell who's currently controlling the body

Mr Oma hides his face with the mask, he is too afraid of what others may think of his face since most pokemon that fuse with an Omanyte or an Omastar end up looking like an Eldridge horror

Murma is the leader of their team, she keeps everyone in line (hence her nicknames being Mummy/mum/mother), she pretty often makes Gengar let Mr Mime have control sometimes, plus, Murma prefers Mr Mime, he's a lot kinder and calmer

This is what they loo like
