[paparoach]

yay :)

[prof-peach]

Headcanon: there's a couple of legendary pokemon who reside on Dotaku in absolute secret (minor ones like Suicune or Latios) who enjoy the fact that no one tries to bother them there

Whether Peach knows is mystery but either way she's not telling and doesn't care in the slightest unless it brings unwanted attention

Shes aware of the Raikou who passes by once or twice a year, and knows the Island could very well be in the flight path of a Zapdos, it's come by once before, but its a rare sighting to see them, and no ones encouraged to track them shoudl they think they saw them.

If asked, peach will wave it off as Zoroark. even though none reside on the island, no one needs to know that. Stantler can cause mass hallucinations and theyve got a big herd on Dotaku, or maybe a psychic type playing tricks on you did it.

But she knows theyre around. leaves them WELL alone.

[espers-n-espurrs]

whats your favourite conspiracy theory?

-Delta :}

the conspiracy theory that stantler is a secret middle evolution of deerling and sawsbuck

not regional form, not convergent form, not distantly related

no people think its the secret middle evolution or the result of a deerlings evolution being interrupted

this makes me insane because why is that the conclusion you come too, i just want to study these peoples thought process for a moment i just wanna have a little chat

[heartburstings]

list of pokemon i would eat. u guys like dunmeshi now so u can't judge me for thinking abt eating pocket freaking monsters. or do idc. u can also join in this fun imagination game with me by going to bulbapedia and clicking on any pokemon and looking at the biology and pokedex sections <3

you would think farfetch'd but farfetch'd is endangered from too many people eating it. so i wouldn't. but if it wasn't endangered i would eat it. it comes with its own vegetable for chrissakes c'monnn

paras. its mushrooms have medicinal properties also it's not a crab it's a bug so i can eat it. its body is perfectly proportioned w mushroom n meat. you would think i would choose parasect over paras but i would not. paras is easier to defeat and more abundant too. and parasect is like 90% mushroom. i would kill a parasect if i was really low on veggies i guess. or if i was having a hotpot

shellder. you cook that sucker up and you can pull him out the shell by the tongue mmmmm. i just think it'd be a really fun experience (<- this guy just recently found out he is not allergic to shellfish)

on that note none of the crab pokemon. these are the easy options but i am allergic.

the vanillite evolution chain. i don't care. put syrup and/or chocolate on them due to no flavor tho.

i would not eat a happiny evolution chain egg. they need those. if the pokemon were dead with the egg though then i maybe would. i don't know that feels like a lot of protein. hotpot dish?

froakie evolution chain. i don't care i love frog legs

tropius for the fruits. the body is humongous i would not eat that. holiday feast if it died though

stantler. its tail is huge i imagine it to have the same consistency as a duck's heart but large and sliceable and chewable for longer. and even if it isn't its tail is huge. i am so curious.

slowking. i would use his crown as a soup container like how some people use crab shells for presentation. but it's not presentation bc upside down it is perhaps the most unstable bowl ever. you would need to set it up to stay stable over a fire and you could hotpot it. same goes for slowbro ig. i would not eat them without a lot of veggies and stuff tho.

i would have a pokemon that knows scald btw. make cooking go faster by already having boiled water. that's just a free tip from me for you to be able to never use ever at all.

hoppip and skiploom. living salad . "but wynn isn't every grass type a living salad?" that's dangerous talk. budew evolution line for example would definitely kill you if you ate it without being careful. hoppip is plentiful and seems to spawn/live in groups however.

for that matter i think the more flowery pokemon would make a really pretty and good salad. flabebe's pollen (which makes up its crown) for example has medicinal properties. check if its flower is edible tho. also floette's flower is thought to have terrifying power which sounds dangerous so don't eat that. for that matter don't eat anything further along the flabebe evolution line i think it's too life risky to be worth it. and you can't even eat their flowers. comfey's flower ring (the flower ring is not part of its body). you could eat comfey itself but like... you get a forever flower salad. its vine is canonically highly nutritious and the flowers gain healing effects. you should not eat comfey salad when in caves or other flowerless areas tho bc it gets nervy without a flower ring.

similarly slowpoke tails grow back plus they secrete a sweet sappy substance. so.

fire type pokemon are complicated. sometimes their internal temperature is canonically definitely hot enough to cook it alive so i think you should assume you can't really cook it? is it just forever raw? i assume they CAN be eaten because you can't tell me scovillains don't get snacked on in the wild. but are they edible for humans??? anyway i'd eat a scovillain. only part of it though i'd save most of it cos yum spice. i'd use the whole head or perhaps even both the heads for a hotpot tho. a lot of pokemon are huge and eating them would logically usually be a group endeavor.

tangela. its tentacles are canonically said to have a refreshing flavor and scent and its vines are used as herbs. this probably means that they grow on/around tangela and are not actually part of tangela esp since the vines snap off easily if grabbed so it can run away. would probably go well with comfey flowers.

shuckle produces juices by storing berries (well any organic materials but mostly berries) in its shell and you best believe i am going to have The Blender Turtle on my team. especially if one of my pokemon has the pickup ability??? come on bro

i would not eat a rotom btw but i would have the fridge form rotom for preserving food. "oh wynn what about the one that's a microwave oven?" you don't even need fire type pokemon to start a fire and you want me to have a portable freaking oven when i can have a fridge? a fridge that will never break down? that is somehow both portable and large? would YOU give that up if you were traveling? be so honest. of course if something in the fridge itself gets problems somehow--esp the "special motor" which brings about the change in rotom (rotom can only possess/change specific appliances; the washing machine model that rotom possesses for example has been discontinued and the price has skyrocketed, which is so weird you'd think washing machine companies would start making a rotom compatible washing machine the same way we have electric washing machines? even if folks don't put a rotom in it they can still sell it while also appealing to trainers? idfk), so if that breaks you're definitely paying probably a lot to replace any parts. (<- this guy is normal about household appliances.)

i would eat a legendary any legendary. wynnie don't care.

lotad. it comes with its own vegetable and it gathers around lakes with good quality water so if i see it i know the water there is safe to drink and consume too.

azurill evolution line. the ball on its tail is packed with nutrients as an azurill, and full of oil as a marill and presumably as an azumarill. these will therefore play different roles in cooking but is valuable info nonetheless.

swablu evolution line would be soooooo aesthetic. don't make soup with them tho bc if the wings are in water too long they lose their fluffiness. they'd still be edible they just wouldn't be as aesthetic.

cherubi evolution line. self explanatory. it's freaking berries

applin evolution line. also self explanatory. it's freaking apples. u have to be careful with flapple of course (its cheeks store acid capable of corroding metal) but still.

ok one more. cramorant. esp cramorant gorging form (i am allergic to gulping form)

[yveltalreal]

why xerneas secrete oil? im here to do karaoke with friends not to watch this overgrown stantler secrete fucking oil

Pokémon Reborn Screenshot Let's Play: Chapter 18

Helloooooooo again, everyone. The release of this chapter was delayed by a few days from when I intended to release it, it’s finals season after all, but luckily it hasn’t been too bad. Indeed, what a normal day this is, and what a normal game I am playing! This game is so normal, it’s such a nice and kind fan project, nothing horrifying happened in the last part! In fact, just to prove it, here’s the recap:

Everything was perfectly normal.

And now in this part, everything will continue to be normal as we continue progressing on our completely normal journey through the Pokémon League!

…Yeah, okay, no more pretending, last chapter was grim. Not enough to stop me from still playing this game, not in the slightest, but still, well- well. It might be better to just do the actual recap to explain what exactly went down for those who may need a refresher.

CW: suicide

Xera follows the police officers to the Beryl Ward Gym, where Corey fled following his exposure as Team Meteor agent Borealis. However, a strange gas was released, causing the officers to go mad and battle anyone they see.

Xera defeats the officers and brings them back to their senses, then unlocks a secret room in the Gym. Turns out, this room is the apartment where Heather and Corey live; while Heather is resting in bed, Xera finds Corey in another room.

Xera confronts Corey, who- despite everything- has a request for her. All he says is for Xera to meet him at the Gym’s arena.

Before facing Corey, Xera travels around catching a few new Pokémon: Ravine the Onyx, Cheer the Happiny, Ruxpin the Stufful, Ace the Taillow, Faline the Stantler, and Kirin the Girafarig.

Xera returns to the Beryl Ward Gym’s arena, where Corey is waiting. He explains that Heather was the one thing that kept him going all these years, and that his role as her father cannot coexist with his role as Agent Borealis- one of them must fall. As such, he challenges Xera to prove her strength and defeat Borealis once and for all.

After an intense fight that I definitely won on my first try, Corey is defeated- and as such, Borealis is defeated. With his loss, Corey asks Xera to protect Heather, as Team Meteor and one of its leading members- “Sirius”- will no doubt threaten her.

Heather suddenly enters the arena, having heard about what happened from one of the police officers. She’s outraged that her father was working for Team Meteor all along, denounces his (vague) attempts to explain, and decides to run away for good- having grown fed-up with Corey’s overprotectiveness anyways. After confirming that she still has her mother’s ring, Heather leaves.

With Heather gone and hating him, Corey says “it’s come to an end” and also leaves- but not before telling Xera to come to Beryl Bridge if she wants to see “a show.”

Xera also leaves the Gym, encountering an Absol along the way- a common warning sign of upcoming disaster. The Absol disappears into the hills shortly after.

On Beryl Bridge, Xera witnesses Corey releasing his Pokémon. He tells her about how the Ruby Ring was a gift he had given to his wife, who later passed away during Heather’s birth. While her death was initially claimed to have been caused by a machine failure, Corey later discovered she had been killed by Team Meteor to obtain the ring.

Corey goes on to explain that, while he was able to track down the man who killed his wife, make him regret what he had done, and retrieve the ring, an infant Heather was still threatened. In the end, Corey agreed to serve Team Meteor in exchange for Heather’s safety as well as the ring- a deal that has persisted twelve years later.

With nothing left to live for and determined to ensure Team Meteor cannot wage his life against Heather’s, Corey asks Xera one last time to protect Heather in his place before he throws himself from the bridge to his death.

Fern arrives shortly after, having only seen Corey/Borealis jump from the bridge, and mocks him- he was still an enemy, after all. However, Fern does point out that he fell into Lapis Ward, if Xera wanted to go down and check in on the aftermath.

Suddenly, the ground tremors, and a huge plume of smoke is spotted rising from North Obsidia Ward. Fern rushes off to investigate, leaving Xera on the bridge to contemplate what has happened.

So uh- yeah. This game has advertised itself as being darker than the official Pokémon games, and the events of last chapter really drive that home. And truly, with us still being fairly early in the game, I’m sure it’s just gonna get darker from here. But hey, we persist on regardless- there’s plenty more to see, after all, and a sudden explosion to investigate. So, let’s get into it!
