The Pokémon Distribution System

Some trainers catch Pokémon. Other trainers breed or inherit them.

And some trainers have Pokémon thrust upon them.

I often see posts about how some trainers less found or caught their most recent teammate and more that teammate decided "You, human, I like your vibes, you're taking care of me now" and then refused to leave. Shit, I've made posts like that. In the comments or tags, I often see this phenomenon referred to as "The Pokémon Distribution System," and these days it seems to be one of the more common and organic ways for trainers to build up their teams.

Frankly, I love it. So let's take a test.

Who among your Pokemon squad did you less catch or adopt and more they showed up and you couldn't or didn't want to get rid of them? For me, it's 3 out of my now 8 partners.

Aka, my Zoroark, Zorua at the time, came to me disguised as an Eevee, my Eevee, Vivi, when I was in Alola as a post-grad visitor to the trainer's school in Hau'oli. He saw all the attention Vivi was getting, since he was an adorable ass Eevee, and wanted in on that, so sneakily replaced him during lunchtime while the actual Vivi went and got lost wandering the city streets (we found him, obviously). Once the jig was up and he saw I was a good sport about it, he decided he didn't want to leave my side. We got his momma Zoroark's permission before I made off with him.

Jeanne, my Corviknight, Rookidee at the time, showed up on my front porch one day and refused to fucking leave. When I opened the door to try and shoo her away, she started pecking and attacking me instead. Had to bloody wrestle her down. I don't know what possessed me to physically pin her instead of getting any one of my, at the time, three fully evolved team members to blast her into next century, but apparently she respected that enough to never leave my side afterward.

And my newest member, Miranda, who's a Quaxly, showed up at my new house, floating in a daze in the backyard swimming pool. She was clearly depressed and fully out of it when I found her, so instead of trying to shoo her off, I took her in. Turns out her last human passed away rather abruptly and I was the closest neighbor with a pool. She's doing fairly well, but it's pretty obvious she's still coming to terms with her last human's passing.

Come to think of it, I'm pretty piss poor at going out and "wild catching" Pokemon overall. The entire rest of my team consists of rescues or adoptions!

I've joked several times about wanting to lovingly harass @nartothelar's depot agent Josh, so I finally made it happen. Because flustering the man delights me.

When Jena gets hired as the twins' personal assistant, she quickly becomes a menace around the office.

Code in Scarlet and Violet to get Liko's Sprigatito!

[fierykitten2]

Disclaimer: the images in this post are arranged in a way so that the Scarlet images are all on the left and the Violet images are all on the right. Obviously I only took on the Academy Ace Tournament in one version at a time

Took on the Academy Ace Tournament in both versions and here were my opponents in the order battled (apart from the fact the Scarlet images are all on the left and the Violet images are all on the right). I’ve learned two things from this - 1 is that Miriam can be the first opponent (like in Scarlet) or the 3rd opponent (like in Violet). She has the same lines in both positions. The second is that Nemona can actually be battled in this tournament (genuinely she’s never appeared to me in this in Violet and I haven’t had the chance for her to appear in this in Scarlet up until now). Also her Pokémon don’t have an order they’re sent out apart from her starter being her final Pokémon and probably her leading with Lycanroc (I remember Orthworm being her penultimate Pokémon in Scarlet because Luna was struggling and nearly cried so I swapped it out for Blueberry only to bring Luna back against her ugly croc (I had every wish to send out Quax or keep Blueberry out instead but I had plans involving Terastalising every single one of my aces and I’d already used Quax against Tyme and Blueberry against Penny. I also kinda wanted Clavell to be my last opponent in Violet so I could beat the shit out of that ugly croc twice in one day but I got Nemona with her fabulous gay duck instead) but she sent Orthworm out really early on against me in Violet. Also Dudunsparce I think was her 2nd Pokémon in Scarlet but her penultimate Pokémon in Violet). Oh yeah the third thing I learnt (or possibly fourth) is that Dark-types can cry. Both Luna and Spriggie nearly cried at some point (I returned Luna to its ball and took out Blueberry to deal with Orthworm and also use a full heal on Luna while Spriggie has a Shell Bell on him so he just gradually healed up as the battle continued and he kept taking out Raifort’s Pokémon)

My aces Terastalising for no reason other than it’s pretty. It’s hard to tell what’s going on in half these images so in order Fire Tera type Char (Armarouge), Fire Tera type Char (Ceruledge), Water Tera type Quax (Quaquaval), Grass Tera type Spriggie (Meowscarada), Water Tera type Blueberry (Walking Wake), Psychic Tera type Cherry (Iron Leaves), Dragon Tera type Luna (Roaring Moon) and Fighting Tera type Knight (Iron Valiant). Roaring Moon are honestly kinda ugly but somehow Luna got out-uglied by Nemona’s Skeledirge (okay that’s enough Skeledirge slander for one post)

Blueberry and Cherry making entrances in the third battles, the ones where they were the ones Terastalising

And of course my aces shouting after defeating their final opponents

As you can see, Liko’s Sprigatito and Dot’s Quaxly in both games have evolved into Liko’s Floragato and Dot’s Quaxwell. As much as I prefer their fully-evolved forms I want to wait a bit and use their middle stages so I haven’t allowed them to fully-evolve just yet

Still, because I chose Quax/Quaxly/Quaquaval in Scarlet and Spriggie/Sprigatito/Meowscarada in Violet I now have the Pokédex entries for Floragato in Scarlet and Quaxwell in Violet
