You recall your starter back to your Pokéball after you swiftly fainted the Spearow.

“E-eh..? Where did you come from-? Wait no- I should probably be thanking you first…”

“Thank you, but I can’t help but feel bad for the poor Spearow.”

He picks its up gently.

“I mean, with all the things happening lately, poor thing was probably just really dehydrated and hungry. W-wait no! I’m not angry at you for hurting it if you got that idea!”

All the things happening lately..?

You nod your head as if to not embarrass him.

He starts to speak again.

“How come you came up here anywho? Most people don’t really come up here anymore…are you interested in gardening too? I-I can help you learn more about plants too! We can even be friends! It’s okay if you don’t want to be! Wait I haven’t even told you my name ormyclassormyfavouritecolourormynamewaitialreadysaidthatdamnitfirsttimeihaveachancetomakefriendsandimessitup!

He seems to be mumbling a lot…

“Ah! You’re still standing there! Well before we become friends I’ll tell you my name, it’s Cobalt blue- wait-! I mean’t Minato. I just got it mixed up, thats all…”

“You’re also really strong too…hey if we’re friends now, then let’s meet up after class tomorrow! I’ll buy you some lunch, or drinks or whatever you fancy!”

It seems like I have made a deal with Minato. A new seed of life has been planted.

“Wait, one last thing before I go, you’re a Pokémon trainer right? So, here take one of these eggs I’ve had, I’ll assume it grow into a fine Pokémon one day.
Also, I’ve not seen you around before…well it’s not like I see anyone in the first place. Anyways, take care!”

[Please choose to take either the Pink egg or the Blue egg]

Hi! I wanted to show something special to me that I try to do for each play-through. I like to create little images like these to commemorate my team!

I try to always use Pokemon that I’ve yet to experience fully (unless they are a favorite 😉) so it also lets me keep track of what Pokemon I’ve used. I don’t typically use starters unless it’s a new generation, but the last few generations didn’t have any that appealed to me 😅

I mostly use the official artwork from the Bulbapedia page, perhaps someday I’ll try to draw them myself, but I’m a huge perfectionist so until I get better at drawing, I’ll stick to those images. I also try and size them according to their height if I’m feeling extra, but sometimes I just do what looks good. I often use the corresponding male/female protagonist to help me keep track of what game it was and if I played as a male or female character (this also helps as a baseline for sizing).

The app I use to create the images has a stock photo selection, so I choose one that is reminiscent of the environment of the game and blur it (Like for PLZA I tried to use photos of Paris). I also add a filter and grain to make it all look a bit more cohesive.

Usually my phone keeps track of roughly when I played the game (since I make the picture when I’m done), but I believe I’m going to start adding text with the dates or at least the month and maybe what version.

I’d love to know if anyone else does something similar! Or, hopefully this post will inspire someone to keep track of their teams in their own way.

My favorite teams to use have been the Legends Arceus team with the Ursaluna and the PLZA team with Mega Drampa ☺️

What’s your favorite Johto ground type?

That morning Eira took you out to go skiing on the slopes.

It’s quiet on the slopes only a few other skiers, it’s a cold morning but clear skies and the sun shining down.

“So you ever skied before?” She asks

You nod your head “once” you reply

“Well it’s pretty straight forward just copy me.”

She pushes her self down the mountain and off she goes dodging rocks and branches like a pro, doing jumps of the ramps, going down side to side, you try and copy here but end up falling.

You keep trying until you start getting the hang of it again, the two of you have been doing this for about an hour when she says why not we go on a walk?

You head into the mountain, loads of pine trees, frozen peaks and pokemon here and there, but the clear skies don’t last clear for long and all of a sudden become really cloudy and out of the blue a snow storm starts.

“We need to head back!” Eira shouts

“Which way is back.”

You are lost.

At that moment you saw something scoop Eira up and run away with her, you are alone, or maybe not.

You start to spin readying for an attack when woosh, you are picked up too and headed towards well you can’t see what.

You arrive at the village again and see none other than the legendary pokemon Glastrier.

“Oh thankyou Glastrier we needed that help.” Eira says petting its head

It runs away back to the mountains.

“Yea well Glastrier was the legendary who made this island and it sits up in the mountains waiting to rescues people, sometimes they don’t even need rescued.”

She thanks you for the fun she had and heads off to her arena, you decide to take a warm shower then nap before the ferry home.

We are officially one month in to the contest! :D

As you walk towards the next city to challange the 8th, and last, gymleader, you come across a few strong pokemon!

Levels: 4 of your pokemon gain 2 levels

Grass is my favorite type, and overall I think the grass starters are some of the most solid across the board. That being said, I figured I'd reveal my opinions on how much I like each design, categorized by 1st/2nd/3rd forms.

- Bulbasaur is my favorite pokemon, and it shows with all members of its evo line reaching S-tier for me.

- Bayleaf is A-tier design, but I don't care much for Chikorita or Meganium.

- Grovyle is an easy S-tier pick for middle stage, but Sceptile is not that interesting for me. Treeko is great!

- Torterra is my favorite 3rd stage starter of all-time, and I love Turtwig enough for 2nd place S-tier (just behind Bulbasaur), but Grotle holds the line back from a perfect 10/10 imo.

- Smugleaf Snivy and Serperior are both great A-tier picks for me, but I do not like Servine.

- Chespin is good, and I like Chestnaught alright... but Quilladin doesn't work for me.

- Rowlet is great, Dartrix is OK but forgettable. Decidueye is amazing!

- I don't actually hate Thwackey the way some do, but I don't like Grookey, and Rillaboom would be much better if the drum wasn't involved tbh.

- Sprigatito looks too much like a Neopet for me, Floragato is the worst of the 2nd stage grass starts imo, but I have grown to like Meowscarada with time.

- Browt looks promising! And is almost certainly the starter I'll choose for WiWa.

...overall, I LOVE grass-types, and have always chosen the grass starter up until gen8. They generally start and end well (you'll notice none of the 3rd stages are below C-tier) with their mid-stages being most polarizing, with real winners (Grovyle) and some losers (Floragato, should have stayed on all four legs!)

TL;DR = Bulbasaur, Grovyle, and Torterra as the gold medalists of their stages!

Keep in mind these are my subjective opinions, and you are welcome to hold different opinions of your own! :]

What are your thoughts on grass starters?

Hi! I got my boyfriend a switch for his birthday because he loves playing Pokémon on his gameboy. His favorite game is sapphire. What would be a game on switch most like that one. Thank you!!

Glastrier is OUT, next?

Based on design (not function), which pokéballs do you prefer?

- Luxury Ball is the easy winner for me.
- The primitive pokéball from Hisui is another favorite.
- Shoutout to the repeat's simple design!

Honorable mention to the OG, ultra, and beast ball.

Plenty of other great picks (safari, dark, net, etc.) but I have to limit somewhere!

How about you?

Drawing is oc made it into a card on pokecardmaker

You finished your chat with Professor Suru, before he led you to your dorm block. He gave a swift goodbye before leaving you to your own devices.

A breath of fresh air was needed for you, you make your way up to the rooftop, a swift kiss of air touched your cheek as you came.

You saw a boy, tending to the plants left on top of the roof.

“Hum dee dum…”

A soft hum left his lips. He hasn’t seen you yet.
The plants were beautiful, delivered with care and pristine precision, loved as if they were his own children.

Although, the peace didn’t last. Quickly, a Spearow came in swooping down, disturbing the peace.

“W-whah! Hey! Ow! S-stop pecking at my plants! Stop, shoo!”

“Agh! No, you’re spilling all the water everywhere!”

“Please stop this-! Nngh…Yamper go!”

Before the Yamper has the chance to attack, it’s swiftly fainted despite the type advantage.

“Yamper!”

The Spearow heads straight for the boy and pecks with intent.

This doesn’t look good for that boy over there. Are you just going to stand back and watch?! Was your previous decision to fight for those in need a mistake then? No? Then get up and fight!

[You have entered a battle with the wild Spearow!]

[EXPLANATION for the 2 types of fighting formats in this series:
1. The first will be any encounter like wild encounters or ones that are not of note, in these you will just say how you beat the enemy, you can RP too, but it will be quick and simple.

2. The second will be for Rival battles, gym challenges or any story notable opponents. In here you will do a back and forth RP with me, where I will say my own dialogue. 1 attack at a time till the battle reaches its end, in these battles, you will learn more about the character (sometimes) and feel a drive of life in you.

This battle will be the 1st type of format, just simply state how you beat it.

CONTESTANTS: Venusaur, G-Max Venusaur, Mega-Venusaur, Vileplume, Meganium, Mega-Meganium, Bellossom, Skiploom, Sunflora, Roselia, Roserade, Cherim, Shaymin, Lilligant, Hisuian Lilligant, Maractus, Florges, Comfey, Gossifleur

Most upvoted comment wins!

You find that the island leaders battle arena is in an indoor ski slope, she is a world famous skier and pokemon trainer.

“Hey! Welcome to my arena, and I’m assuming you are here for a battle, well first you need to guess the pokemon I am thinking of, you get 3 hints!” She says

Hint 1: this Pokémon’s type is not one I like, it dosent mix well with ice

Hint 2: it has two variants, one very original and one very…Hisuian

Hint 3: it is from a very, very early game, Infact it is the earliest game made

This pokemon isn’t too hard so if you get is really quick feel free to ask for a harder challenge.

You guess the pokemon and she jumps with joy,

“Yay I knew you would get it, now let battle oh and how rude I am Eira.” She shakes your hand

You ready for the battle!

Notes:

All her pokemon are level 38 and she enhances froslass ice type

Rewards:

- pokemon each gain two levels
- ¥700
- Glacier medal
- ice peak shard
- ice beam TM

IMPORTANT:

I hope this series is fun and you are enjoying yourselves, but sadly we have hit the final we days and if I am correct the plan shows only two weeks left (that can change though) so I just wanted to let you guys know that I will keep continuing more series.

I just wanted to say that the first one I fully completed was the Senora region and that is where you are all from, so I want to make it that your character will be the same throughout the next few series.

The next one is an idea I have had for a while but sadly couldn’t do it because someone beat me two it but now I can, so I would recommend keeping your characters name and pokemon but you will start off new for the next series and you will see what I mean in two weeks.

I have enjoyed the Solayah region and there is a climax coming (don’t want to spoil anything) so stay tuned and thanks to everyone who kept on going.

Give me a few pokemon (Max. 6) and a prompt and i'll recreate it if it sounds fun!

rules:

-nothing against the subreddit/reddit rules

-I can do trainers, but it could take a while and i suck at making humans so the result could be not good

-do not send any dms please!

-place a comment and i'll respond with an image

Hey! If you’ve been lucky enough to run into a Shiny Pokémon, which one was your first, and which one was your latest! Bonus points for the game and location!

My first Shiny was Cottonee in Black 2, Pinwheel Forest. I evolved it into a Whimsicott, and she has held a special spot in my heart since! I caught it in my first ever Black 2 save which is now long gone :(

My last shiny was a Shiny Onix in Platinum, Orberguh Mine. This was during in a Nuzlocke, so it wasn’t on official hardware, but it was sick! This happened when I was training up my Budew. Steelix was very fun to use!
