i was delighted one Community Day to meet a guy who specifically collects 10 CP Pokemon. his Community Day hunt was to get a 10 CP version of the featured Pokemon. superb

My dad and I have been playing pokemon go, and there's a gym right behind our house so we're pretty much always the ones with pokemon in it. Well recently we decided that it would be hilarious if we just started putting little 10 CP Pokemon in there after we defeated the gym because it's funny to open up the gym and see your 3000 CP Pokemon has been replaced by Wurmple, 10 CP. It's also funny bc you have to like . Actively try to get 10 CP Pokemon they aren't especially common. People usually ruin our joke by adding their super strong pokemon but this morning when we got up the gym had been taken and left behind the tiniest little 10 CP Pokemon. Which means someone saw our joke, thought " that's hilarious, I'm going to save a 10 CP Pokemon" caught one and saved it just to put in our gym. Fantastic display of unity I love this game

It's 3am and the poll came to my head

Remember my super cool Rattata? My Rattata is different from regular Rattata. It's like my Rattata is in the top percentage of Rattatas.

For the au ask game!

OKAY I wanted specifically to get to the pokemon au from the ask you sent, it's been cooking a bit so it's time to see what comes out of the oven, so... @azol-otl ty for the ask!

Crossover au's are all about the fused worldbuilding for me and speculating on how characters from universe A would fit into universe B heehee hoohoo - and for Batfam especially it's fun to think about the equivalent of their roles as vigilantes! What kind of people have the same level of celebrity, the same sideways seeking of justice?

Naturally this leads you to the gym leaders because a) it's the most fun and b) they are like. Quasi-law enforcement/educators/professional athletes depending on how you try to translate the innate child's perspective on the pokemon universe into something that makes sense as an adult lol ilu pokemon. [insert 'compels me though' gif here]

SO with this in mind, here's 5 fun facts (that are mostly backstory lmao) from a jaytim pokemon au I would write

I'm deeply ill about pokemon so this one goes under the cut lol:

Jason Todd used to be the Champion. He won the role after Dick Grayson quit a year or two before (Dick had been getting older and chafing under the League rules - meaning he'd been chafing under how Bruce ran the League) and was a fierce competitor who didn't believe in going easy on anyone. His Houndoom was a force to be reckoned with, and despite running a mostly Dark-type team, his Honchkrow cleaned up anyone thinking their Fighting-types could sweep. He looked after the League and Gotham with a cocky, self-assured attitude and the win record to back it up. .

Jason disappeared suddenly at the age of 15. Many assumed him dead, after a Rocket (Or whatever Gotham themed gang name we want to go with lol could be Team Joker) bombing in the area he'd last been seen, but he's officially declared missing. Bruce Wayne took back the duties of interim Champion as he once did for Dick Grayson, but he's not quite the mentor he once was. It's obvious he's grieving, and that he doesn't want to mentor any more twelve year olds. Dick signed up to be a Gym Leader shortly after this, returning from his trip about a year early to help out in the chaos following Jason's disappearance. .

Enter Tim Drake. Tim's gym challenge wasn't all that interesting in the circuit at first; he had a rocky start and had to retake a few gym challenges. He wasn't exactly sweeping on his first try every time like Jason had done. He didn't have the meteoric rise that caught the Champion's attention early, didn't get one-on-one mentorship or face-to-face meetings, cautionary advice and congratulations all rolled into one from Bruce Wayne himself - but Tim had patience and grit, and he paid attention. He was gunning for the Championship, and it wasn't just so he could prove himself. Team Rocket/Joker was still out there, and Bruce needed all the help he could get. He was always better for Gotham when he had a Robin. .

Dick had been nicknamed Robin for his all-Flying-type team and especially his Natu-then-Xatu; Jason followed up with his Murkrow-then-Honchkrow; Tim's Rookidee was one among many (Robin-esque pokemon were popularized by Dick and the trend remains through Tim's day) so he wasn't considered a possible Robin successor until it was a Corvisquire and he was about to face Dick Grayson himself, a badge away from Victory Road. By then, Tim and his team were a well-oiled machine (he runs mostly Steel-types lol but also Normal-types for the unexpected adaptability and the 'underestimate my rattata i dare you it's in the top peRCENTAGE--' of it all. FEAR.), and his loss-record had all but frozen while his win-record ticked higher and higher. .

Shit finally goes down about three years after Tim has become Champion and all but bullied Bruce into mentoring him (he basically said 'if you don't watch me, i'll go find Team Rocket/Joker on my own' and triggers all of Bruce's child endangerment traumas simultaneously) and the mysterious Rocket/Joker leader Red Hood shows up, bringing the gang out of the shadows in pursuit of a hidden agenda. Identity shenanigans and "wait is that a Houndoom? But he's only been using Ghost-types, it CAN'T be..." and heel-face turns abound. .

(BONUS FACT: Something something, Jason went into deep cover with Looker or whoever he is, that Interpol guy from X & Y (WAIT. LOOKER MIGHT ACTUALLY BE TALIA AL GHUL IN THIS AU HOHOHO), infiltrating the Rocket/Joker gang and going public as Red Hood is the first step in the last phase of the sting. Cue a million tense Jaytim interactions in which Tim is legitimately trying to take Red Hood down and Jason desperately tries to shake him so that he doesn't do anything that forces Jason to blow his cover. There is at least one 'tugged into a tight space to hide them both from the actual bad guys, "wait, did you just HELP me...?" "Think whatever you want, babybird"' interaction because I am a slut for the first sprinkles of a redemption arc that is rife with UST fufufu)

That is… not what I meant by that. When I posted this, I was being spammed by a kid I gave my number to because he wanted to battle me again later, not knowing that I was inadvertently signing up for “rattata daily”… which would be interesting if it was not the exact same two messages copy-pasted and texted to me at regular intervals throughout the day. At least thrice hourly. (I have since muted him.)

…Whimsicott are cute, though.

It would be cool if people reblogged this talking about their Pokémon. Especially ones not native to Johto.

Or just… anything that isn’t a Rattata…

[yveltalreal]

Wait is Ash Ketchum a real person over here?

@psyonicscream

he is a real person but hes just kinda. a normal ass guy? he shows up to random tournaments and shit, always with the damn pikachu, tears up the competition until someone pulls out some bullshit in one of the final few rounds, and he takes like second or third place. every. damn. time. hes literally won only like 3 tournaments ever.

but cause we know nothing about him and he was kinda memable (esp coming into thr battling scene at a young age and taking on so many leagues) so people started joking that he was just. doing stuff that he did not. making up fake backstories for him. like "when ash ketchum was ten years old, he-" and then saying something fucking batshit he absolutely did not do. and then theres the other meme of like. saying something that happened to you and then throing on at the end "and ash ketchum was there". it became such a big meme that like "and was ash ketchum there?" is now a thing you say to obviously fake stories.

this also combined with memes about joey, the top battler from johto, and his top percentage rattata to also joke about his top percentage pikachu

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 ✨

does uncle joey have the best rattata?

he has the top percentage raticate!

[dorkdevil]

Dear @binibinitofu ,

I saw "Tajima" and "Pokémon AU" in your desired gift description and immediately had this scenario come to mind!

(Tajima would definitely be the kind of guy to pull the F.E.A.R. Strategy, haha. Or at least own a TOP PERCENTAGE RATTATA.)

I hope you agree and like your gift, and I wish you the most wonderful start into the new year! 💖

Round 1 Poll 39: Stats

Pokemon SGC submission:

That Joey's "top percentage" Rattata has maximum IVs. Its stats are normal.

Undertale submission:

Sans has one hp. While I have no way to check what it says in the code I'm pretty sure that even if it was 1 it's to make him Oneshottable (it'd be akward if the one time you hit sans he just. Lived.) A la NEO's negative defense. Anyways his check info only states that he can *deal* 1 damage. It mentions nothing about 1 hp.

[moonlight-eternal]

You know what other pokemon is special, unlike others of its kind? My rattata! It's like, in the top percentage of rattata.

I have heard such claims before and cannot but show doubt, even though by logic the top percentage must be in someone's hands.

Perhaps, were we to meet, thou might prove thy rattata's superiority in battle?
