After the Gym Leader and Elite Four Showdown, we’re bringing you a new series: Mascot Pokémon Showdown! We’ll look at the cover Pokémon of the original box art from Pokémon Red to Pokémon Moon (ignoring remakes). Who will come out on top as the top Mascot Pokémon? Let’s find out!
First up, is Kanto. Generation I consisted of four games: Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow. These four installments were the only in the series to not feature a Legendary Pokémon, instead, they each contained an image of a Starter Pokémon. Released in Japan in 1996, and in 1998 in the US, they were the first Pokémon games that sucked us into the world we’re still in today.
Pokémon Red Version
Pokémon Red featured the original Fire-type Starter, Charizard, the Flame Pokémon, on its cover art.
Its design is based on a European dragon as told about in legends. The tip of its tail has a flame that burns hotter as it gains battle experience. Mostly inhabiting mountain sides, Charizard is one of the biggest causes of forest fires, even though it’s not their intention.
Its signature move is Blast Burn, introduced in Generation III, which has now become an exclusive move for every Fire-type Starter. Despite being part Flying-type Charizard wasn’t able to learn Fly in Pokémon Red, Blue, and Green. Both of Charizard’s Mega Evolutions have the highest base stat totals of all non-legendary Fire-type Pokémon. Its name comes from ‘charcoal‘ and ‘lizard‘.
Pokémon Blue Version
Pokémon Blue featured Blastoise, the Shellfish Pokémon. It’s the original Water Starter and it’s based on a turtle with resemblances of a tank.
Because the water jets it shoots from its cannons are so strong, it has to make itself heavy in order to withstand the force – they can even burst through concrete walls!
With the signature moves Skull Bash and Hydro Cannon, Mega Blastoise has the highest Special Attack base stat of all non-legendary Water Pokémon. Its name is a combination of ‘blast‘ and ‘tortoise‘.
Pokémon Green Version
Pokémon Green showed Venusaur on its cover, the Seed Pokémon. 
As the first Grass Starter, it’s based on some form of prehistorian reptile with a Rafflesia Arnoldii on its back. It uses its flower to catch sunlight, which it then converts into energy; making its flower more vibrant.
Its signature move is Frenzy Plant. Mega Venusaur has the highest base stat total and Defense stat of all Poison-type Pokémon. Its name comes from ‘Venus flytrap plant‘, ‘venom‘ and ‘dinosaur‘.
Pokémon Yellow Version
On the cover of Pokémon Yellow is the Pokémon franchise’s mascot: the Mouse Pokémon – Pikachu! This game marked the first and only time where you didn’t actually get to choose your Starter Pokémon – your rival only had one choice as well (although it could evolve into different options), Eevee.
Pikachu is based on various rodents, despite its category suggesting it’s just designed as a mouse. Pikachu stores electricity in its cheeks to release at enemies. It also uses this power to roast hard berries to make them easier to eat.
Volt Tackle is the name of its signature move. Its name comes from ‘pikapika‘, an onomatopoeia for an electric spark, and ‘chuchu‘, which could either be the onomatopoeia for squeaking, or simply a kiss.
That’s it for the first instalment of Mascot Pokémon Showdown. We hope you guys enjoyed the new Showdown format! Keep a look out for Generation II in a few days time!

X — EVAN
Curious question: if you guys were to apply to be a Gym Leader in a hypothetical region, what type would you specialise in, what number would you be, and what TM would you use?
I would answer this but its obvious
The number and TM aren’t obvious :p
I forgot to mention, but the TM can be any rational move of your type.
Theres only one Fairy TM, but if i could pick any move it would be either Moonlight, Moonblast or Baby-doll eyes
oh and I will except nothing less than number 8
Steel
4
A new TM for Iron Head
Noice, any idea on team or badge name or nah? (would’ve included that in the op but that’s be too much to ask for the initial post imo :p)
Team:
Drilbur lvl 22
Honedge lvl 22
Magneton lvl 23
Metang lvl 25
Ore Badge
why not replace that Drilbur with a nice legal Lairon
Drilbur is 100% legal.
Plus he will be a nice Excadrill for my rematches.
no it aint it should be all steel
but the rematch is fine because its always a tune up
It is 100% legal and there’s nothing you can do about it :p
Excuse u I don’t believ Drilbur is Steel Type :p
But in all honesty though, I’m surprise GameFreak doesn’t take advantage of Pokémon that evolve into the speciality type, by doing that you’ve got a fire counter that still fits into your theme.
Exactly. It still fits the theme of steel types and The Ore badge, because it’s basically a drill. Scyther wouldn’t work even though it evolves into a Steel Type.
My Gym would obviously be a Quary and the player has to traverse to the bottom by rearranging platforms using mechanical switches.
Simple
Ground
And Earthen don’t settle less then number 8
Rhyperior/Warhog
Piloswine
Graveler
Gabite
Sandslash
Onix
i would force my competitors to fight their way through 3 agonizing pitch black floors in my Underground Arena and you better know strength kuz i haul boulders in every morning to make it all the more harder
and those who manage to defeat my Earthen Warriors i’ll begrudgingly award them the Terrain badge along the most powerful TM, TM 26 Earthquake then tell then to GIT OUGHT
Graveler, Gabite, Piloswine and Onix? Isn’t that a bit underpowered for Gym 8?:x
it’s the right amount
Because half the time you buttmunches just load up on every powerful Pokemon in the Type pool then making it sound realistic
Yeah but like you’re bringing up the exact opposite problem of your issue, your team is quite underpowered. Most eighth gym leaders will have either all fully evolved Pokémon and stand alones, or mostly fully evolved Pokémon and maybe one not fully evolved 😡
Maybe have all fully evolved and have four team members, or five and have two NFEs?
fine
Rhyperior
Excadrill
Warhog
Golem
Claydol
Quagsire
Warhog?
its one of his fakemon that he created, don’t get him started
I wouldn’t mind hearing it tbh, I love fakemon :p
suit yourself 😛
he consented
Imagine using a Z-move with Piledriver. What accuracy did you use to balance it out though?
Warhog: the Macho PKM
Ground/Fighting
Ability Guts/Sheer Force HA: Anger Point
HP 120
Attack 145
Defense 100
Sp Atk 30
Sp Def 95
Speed 70
Bst 560
A massive pig like humanoid with dark pinkish skin with splotches of dark brown mud on its body in the shape of a leotard, majorly muscular arms, legs and pectorals, its would have a 4 clawed hoof like fists and hoofs for feet, its warthog like face has a long snout with 4 tusks coming out of the mouth 2 big and 2 small, its eyes would be bright red and it would sport a large Crimson Mohawk that runs down the top of his head all the way to the base of his back ending with a tail with a small tuft
I think it’s pretty cool! The thing seems to hate special sweepers and the like but the concept seems cool and I love the play on Warthog
and this is it’s dex entry
“Warhog pride themselves on having powerful bodies, to train they punch boulders to rubble; Using their great strength they can fight one hundred foes without rest”
And to top it all off a Signature attack
Piledriver
Fighting
Physical Base damage 150
The target is grabbed and launched high into the air and the user crashes down to the ground with tremendous force, the user must recharge afterwards
way underpowered. I miss the days where the 8th gym leader was an actual challenge
That’s a bad team. Final Gym leaders never have 6. I would go.
Piloswine lvl 42
Gabite lvl 42
Sandslash lvl 43
Golem lvl 44
Rhyperior lvl 45
What if someone goes into your gym with a Contrary Seperior with Leaf storm and Giga Drain? Edit: Dragon Pulse too
Pretty much every gym has one Pokémon that can screw it over :p
Eat a bag of d*ks
Gladly
to like half this site those words mean nothing XD
For a good number of members that’d be a luxury, Earthen :p
The question is, where?
Yo, can somebody make a candy called dicks and animate someone eating a bag of them? XD
This is what happens when someone takes time to plan stuff and then it all gets wronged lol
Serperior kills your team
you are aware that no team is ever going to be immune from another pokemon or really “the best” right?
Technically some teams are close to that lol just like those teams with L1 aron and recycle toxic magnemite etc
its all in the players skill not the team they use
50% skill 50% pokemon
Not 100% skill
Or 100% pokemon
you can be the most skilled in the world and use a Goodra but when its faced agains Mega Rayquaza then that thing is doomed in that case there was no skill even needed to be honest 1 life orb Outrage and Bam Bam Bam Goodra fainted.
Skill makes you choose your pokemon
LOL
Can’t forget Hax
Those teams are very easily beaten with a single status move. Or even Stealth rocks up on the field. They are a Gimmick nothing more.
There actually is
A team of Marshshadow
Even if you win, you’d feel bad for hurting the lil bbus
Fight
Gym 7
Blaziken
Priemape
Hitmonlee
Hitmonchan
I will give TM Bulk up??
If I can use any move instead of a TM I will use Sky Uppercut
Dark! and 8th gym leader
Zoroark
Krookodile
Houndoom
Drapion
Hydreigon
Bisharp
And the TM would be dark void 🙂
My team is a bit overpowered so I’d maybe use a Zweilous and Krokorok instead
maybe whittle some of them the problem with making a real sounding gym is everyone goes overboard and just adds every powerful pokemon
I just put my favorite ones. That’d be my team for the most powerful trainers, but I’d use less pkm and weaker ones depending on the trainer’s level. They just gotta have a good fairy-type and I’m doomed so
If I were you, I’d probably devolve two Pokémon and remove one or remove two but keep the rest the same 😡
Ok, so
Zoroark (my favorite pkm ever after Darkrai so not touching it)
Drapion
Zweilous
Pawniard
Sneasel
Is it realistic?
Hmm, I feel Pawniard is quite underpowered. Maybe just have five with one NFE, seeing how Dark tends to be a ‘frail, but strong’ type?
hmmm
Zoroark
Drapion
Zweilous
Bisharp
Spiritomb
I’d need a good strategy against fairy and fighting types tbh. I changed Sneasel to spiritomb so I don’t have to worry about the fighting types for that one.
I feel that Bisharp and Drapion are good Fairy counters seeing as they’ll outspeed a good number of them and can certainly deal damage
Also a Toxic Spikes Drapion lead would be a terror
Seeing as Illusion works differently in the anime I’d make Zoroark transform into a legendary just to make the silly trainers shit their pants
Even from a game standpoint they could make your Zororark special and have it pretend to be Darkrai, possibly even using a moveset near identical to Darkrai’s (Dark Pulse, Sludge Bomb, and maybe Nasty Plot with a Hidden Flamethrower or Extrasensory for coverage?)
I don’t like most people would even know what a darkrai is
Okay, here’s mine:
Gym #1
Pixie Badge
Cottonee Lv.12
Mimikyu Lv. 13
Marill Lv. 15
The puzzle would be a misty, overgrown maze you have to navigate, with me at the centre. Simple maze for the first Gym. TM is Draining Kiss.
Does anyone think that’s a bit overkill or nah?
Three Pokémon in the first Gym has that been done before? Either way I like it because I love a challenge!
In Emerald and the Sinnoh Games I believe!
Ooh you’re right! Which is why I loved Emerald! <3
It was the reason I loved Sinnoh, a good challenge and fun to play!
I’ve got to play Emerald some time though
I remember first getting Diamond and oh my goodness was it tough! Especially with the lack of fire types D: I believe Chimchar-line and Magmortar were the only new ones.
In Diamond, Ponyta and Chimchar were the only Fire Types before the Champion 😮
Luckily I love both lines so it’s fine for me
I don’t remember choosing a Fire-Type haha. I think I just taught my Dialga flamethrower and called it a day haha!
I’m pretty sure I caught Ponyta and Chimchar just to be sure because I knew beforehand there was an ice area ^^;
Must have been why I had a tough time during the game haha. I remember when I found out we could run indoors! I was SHOOK!
The Pokémon games continue to make amazing advancements
Running in doors?
Cycling in gates?
SITTING DOWN?!?
😛
Looks like they took out sitting down this time around lol, oh well maybe on the Nintendo Switch haha!
People are annoyed about the battle frontier being removed
I’m angry about the lack of sitting
maybe bump them all down about 2 lvs and its about on par with other games, but I don’t think you have to change it at all
I’m imaging that it’d be a region with a higher level bump to allow some Pokémon to be used in later Gyms (like all of Unova’s late bloomers :p)
Well in Emerald Roxanne’s Nosepass was level 15 so it’s not bad.
I’d be the standard 8th Dragon Gym Leader.
Haxorus (DGN)
Dragalge (PSN/DGN)
Drampa (NRM/DGN)
Dragonite (DGN/FLY)
Garchomp (DGN/GND)
Hydreigon (DRK/DGN)
I’d give a new TM for Dragon Dance or Draco Meteor and my badge would be called the Slay Badge. My Gym would be a castle in which you have to rescue the princess, but on the way you encounter lots of dragons (from trainers).
why not the Valor badge it sounds more triumphant
To be honest the team feels more like a rematch team, maybe Ditch a team mate? 😡
I really don’t care, people should prepare for a long time before challenging me. I’m not removing a team mate so my opponent could have an easier time beating me 😉
hmmmm
Haxorus
Drampa
Dragalge
Gabite
Zweilious
Just made this because I’m bored
https://s18.postimg.org/m73bgr6x5/Dragon_Gym_Leader.png
I would use
Hydreigon
Flygon
Kommo-O
Dragalge
Altaria (Ace)
Garchomp
Make the player wear a knight suit and I’m in!
7th Gym Leader with Water as my type, I’d probably give Scald as a TM
Pokémon: Main – Jellicent, Wishiwashi, Lanturn and Gorebyss
Scald Jellicent
Sounds like pure evil if you ask me :p
I love Jellicent soooo much! I think I read somewhere that it was supposed to just be pure water type, and if so I’m glad they added Ghost to it!
Not sure what numbered I’d like, but my gym would be Ghost/Dark, TM would probably be Will-o-wisp or Snarl.
I would only run a full team match.
M. Sableye, Dusknoir, Gengar, Zoroark, Bisharp, and Weavile. (I’m basing my team off the anime and not the game’s stats. XD)
Oh, and badge name: Enigma Badge.
My Gym’s theme would be a haunted house gothic style. Ghost and dark pokemon roaming the halls and challenging any trainers who’ve come to challenge me. No gym trainers.
Sweeeeeeet, what particular mons?
I’d be a Gym Leader of Water
Tm: Water Pulse
Badge: Aqua badge
1 match
Poliwhirl (Water)
Corphish (Water)
Tympole (Water)
2 match
Politoed (Water)
Crawdaunt (Water/Dark)
Palpitoad (Water/Ground)
Lombre (Water/Grass)
Chinchou (Water/Electric)
Seadra (Water)
3 Match
Politoed (Water)
Crawdaunt (Water/Dark)
Seismitoad (Water/Ground)
Ludicolo (Water/Grass)
Lanturn (Water/Electric)
Kingdra (Water/Dragon)
Yo, NICE
I’d be Dragon :3
I’d be the special Gym with an Ice/Fairy mix.
Glaceon (ICE)
Aurorus (ICE-ROCK)
Allolan Ninetales (ICE-FAIRY)
Froslass (ICE-GHOST)
Florges (Fairy)
Mega-Diancie (FAIRY-ROCK)
I’d given a new TM possibly an Ice-Fairy mixtape called Icy Pixie Dust and my badge would be the Elegant Snowflake badge. My gym would be in an icy places filled with small igloos where either a Fairy-type or Icy-type is blocking, and you need to get the key to get to the Gym Leader.
7th or 8th electric type Gym leader
I would give the TM Wild charge and like the Shock badge or something
My team:
Zebstrika (main)
Luxray
Eelektross
Galvantula
Lanturn
7-8th gym
Ghost Type
Badge: Phantom Badge
TM: Shadow ball
Main: Dusknoir
2nd: Chandelure
3rd: Aegislash
4th: Cofagrigus
5th: Mismagius
6th: Drifblim
8th Gym
Dark Type
Zoroark
Sableye
Tyranitar – Mega
Krookodile
Hydreigon
TM – Dark Pulse
Badge: Shadow Badge
If I were a Gym leader, I would be the 8th gym to fight against, and I would be a Dragon type specialist (along with Dragon-like Pokemon). I would reward them with TM Dragon Dance. In addition, if they fight against me in a rematch, I would give them a Mega Ring in the post-game. My team would be:
-Vibrava
-Hakamo-O
-Charizard
-Seadra
-Kommo-O
Rematch:
-Flygon
-Kingdra
-Noivern
-Dragonite
-Kommo-O
-Mega Sceptile
I’d be a Dragon gym leader in Unova. Dragon Claw would be my TM. I guess I’d be gym leader 8, but after taking over the Opelucid Gym, I’d move it to White Forest. My team would consist of:
Shiny Dragonite
Shiny Haxorus
Flygon
Hydreigon
Tyrantrum
Mega Charizard X
I’d be an Ice type gym leader, probably the 7th gym.
Gym Badge: Frost Badge
TM: Ice Beam
Beartic
Weavile
Abomasnow
Mamoswine
Glaceon
*Im in desperate need of awesome ice types in Sun and Moon
Flying-type, which sounds like an odd choice. But I dig those Flying ones, especially the core Pokemon of each Gen (Pidgeot, and the likes, even Pikipek’s Toucan evo).
Can’t really answer the other two questions though, because I can’t decide. LOL.
If u Puzzled. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSVjV-eyKrg
I think there’s a problem with the mobile version of the site. I was going to vote for Venusaur, but when I scrolled down, the poll said I had already voted for Charizard and refreshing it and removing just tells me I’ve already voted. Is there a way to fix that?
Revoting, not removing. My phone autocorrected
Damned rigged elections!
I can’t have Charizard win. Goodness he’s so overrated!
Underrated*
no one on this earth can ever say its underrated, its the only pokemon the Genwunners cling on to as their last tie to the pokemon franchise
I feel people hate it only because other people like it. Which is not really a great reason for disliking something, but whatever suits them I guess.
Not directed at anyone in particular :p
Still love me some Charizard. Yeh it’s mainly nostalgia I admit, but Charizard was cool to me as a kid and I still love it.
True I can see that, I guess my dislike comes from the fact that I hella love Water starters, I choose them each generation….despite some of them having bad designs. I always grow to love them tho. *looks at Oshawott*
I was the same with Fire starters…and then Tepig came along. Ugh.
Tepig had so much potential! I was hella hoping for a Fire/Ground Boar….but then we got Emboar. I was like, Well it’s a Boar. Gen V had bad starters, Snivy was good up until Serperior, I was also hoping for Grass/Dragon
tbh there are a lot of pokemon that I was kind of just meh about at first but I slowly started to strongly dislike them because they were so fan serviced and shoved down everyones throats. Like Lucario, I was meh and then it like took over for no reason and I was like ok it will die now when gen 5 came out and Zoroark was announced and I was all pumped to see him in the next smash game, but no they had to give us Lucario again
Can’t argue with that to be honest. I’m guilty of disliking Fairies cos they are being shoved down our throats.
I have other reasons as well, but that plays a part.
I’ll try to step back and see it from your perspective, even though fairies are my all time faves, even If I can’t at least I can say I tried eh
Tbh I feel that they aren’t tremendously fisted down out throats, but Sinia telling you about it was so useless and ham-fisted, should of left the hype for the out of game media and just introduce it subtly like Steel and Dark.
its a good enough reason to dislike something for me, I don’t need people thinking I’m a lemming or cant think for myself, if I don’t feel like I have my own individuality theres not much else I have going for me, plus I grew up in a town where everyone thinks the same way about like everything and if you don’t you get basically shunned for it so I took pride in standing apart from their bs. Not saying everyone has to think like this but Its still a valid reason to dislike it, because a lot of its so called “fans” arent even really fans of pokemon, just charizard
does this come off as bitchy?
That sounds to me like doing something for the sake of it. Something I can’t really accept, but won’t argue with you over. I just feel you need to have proper reasoning behind the choices you make, so you can justify it if needed later, and so you don’t dwell on a decision because youve already considered the angles. Plus I don’t care much what other people think of me :p
well the choices I make are my own and come from my own mind, they just get solidified if I feel like they are too different or not well received by the masses, and in a sense thats me not caring about what other people think about me myself. I reject the “crowd” mentality and think its utterly boring. Im not doing it just for the sake of it though.
I dunno, maybe it was just the way you wrote it and I misunderstood. But never mind.
Charizard is still the best :p
This. Completely. People love to hate Charizard.
I’d argue this. From the perspective of outside the Pokémon community, Charixard is the overrated one. But in the Pokémon community, Blastoise has become the overrated one. I hear so much about Blastoise everywhere in the community and none for Charizard because it was ‘overrated’ (but it only was overrated in the sense of casual/genwunners/people not into Pokémon.
I never hear anything about blastoise like ever
Legit hear it everywhere, especially on YouTube.
fair enough percy 😛 ill take your word for it
It’s a vicious cycle. But I don’t get why something being overrated is a reason to dislike it.
For the recorded I dislike people who use terms like overrated and underrated to justify their love or hate for something
Same. People need better reasons to hate things. I just was using those terms for explanation.
i think I found ironic when I used a OU only pokemon I was literally getting sweeped everytime, but now I use a OU team that literally only has hippowdown as his OU member, i have been winning more often
Hippowdon is OU now? Wow, I haven’t played OU in ages.
I enjoy me some RU and NU
yeah, there are so many pokemon that I never expect to be OU. Azelf and Tangrowth are OU shockingly
welcome to my life, fight the system
I find it ironic that pikachu (the franchise mascot) is losing. I guess people are tired of pikachu being SOOOO overated.
Too much of anything is bad
except happiness
That’s arguable.
Pikachu was never that loved. Maybe in Japan, but to everyone else Pikachu was just Pikachu.
Idk, non fans tend to react positively to Pikachu
That explains it then. Everyone on this site is a fan
Blue version has Vulpix
Aha another reason to pick Charizard.
I like me Vulpix but not as much as Houndoom
Well do you like it more than Growlithe?
A little bit more
Then Blue for You!
Venu here
Charizard the best pokemon of all time… accept this
Mm… Sableye is cuter and much more ominous. 😛
AGRREEED
Not when Darkrai exists
You mean Marshadow?
*dark voids you*
It’s true :3
Hop hop lop lopunny
DANGIT. I just voted Venusaur because it’s my favorite of the bunch, only to see Charizard completely tied with Blastosie! I’m gonna vote Blastoise on my laptop just to keep that overrated fire lizard from winning!
http://lparchive.org/Earthbound/Update%207/1-capture_12022008_083417.png
Blastoise is gonna need all the help it can get. Charizard will still leave it in the dust.
If it was overrated, it wouldn’t be tied with Blastoise. Charizard was much more overrated before. Now, what’s overrated is hating on Charizard for being overrated. I seriously don’t get why so many people like Blastoise, Venusaur looks much better than that ugly turtle.
Okay, Gym Leaders out of the way and E4s pretty much just being better Gym Leaders without teams, what would you guys have as your Champion Team? Mine would be:
Galvantula
Tsareena
Ninetales
Milotic
Froslass
Mega Altaria
Zoroark
Milotic
Gardevoir
Lucario
Salamence
Volcarona
Any Megas or nah?
Mega Lopunny

Mega Altaria (or M Audino)
Morelull2
Slurpuff
Banette
Mismagius (or Granbull)
Ninetales Alolan
I knew you’d just do your favorite Pokémon 😀
Was there ever any doubt? 😛
No! I made my off my favorites, but I tried not to go the mono route which was a difficult task 😛
I added ghosts, that was me trying not to be so mono lol
Lol To be honest my real team would be either all ghost, all dark, or a mixture of the two.
go with all ghost and we can create a double gym lol fairy and ghost, getting ready to mess up anyone that comes inside
Two non-Fairies? BLASPHEMY! 😛
Fairy, Ghost and Dragon are my favs
*sees Dragon*

Jk, Dragon may be my least favourite but it produces quite a few I like tbh
Basically Prince 😛

always, especially going for that garchomp there
if it makes you feel any better they have been slowly dropping down the list and water and psychic are getting ready to pounce back up
Nah, other peoples types is their business

Lycanrock
Excadrill
Tyranitar
Gardevoir
Metagross
What Lycanroc?
The only one that matters. Midday
Excuse you
Stone verlis is an average Pokémon and will be addressed to as such
XD
Average is pushing it dont you think
It’s average because the adorable evo
Otherwise it’s meh
Rockruff is badass. Evolving during the day time into Lycanrock is badass.
Rockruff should never evolve during the night.
I’m evolving mine at night to get the Dionysous for my Greek God runs
Swirlix?
imagine Eclipse Lycanroc
Imagine Lycanrock only having One evolution, being the Midday one.
Alola Marowak

Canon means GameFreak made it :p
the fact that we’re like the only hardcore mono people on this site, and the fact that we contrast so much is just funny
excuse me? I’M the Hardcore mono guy here

Let’s say you became a very powerful trainer and you decided to go after a legendary pokemon: which one would it be? (no arceus pls x) ). Mine would of course be Darkrai! I’d probably have to find Cresselia in order to get a lunar wing before even trying to find Darkrai though.
Definitely Suicune! Been obsessed with that Pokemon and its story ever since I first saw it.
I hope you’d have more luck than Eugene
I’d pull a Maxie and gain control of primal Groudon
And kill all the fairies I guess?
every last one
I’d literally use Xerneas to give them all eternal life and fly off to Mars

Magearna, best Fairy legend IMO and it has such good story potential
There are only 2 other fairy legendaries. It’s not like it’s a huge pool to draw from
I’m counting the Tapus so that’s anywhere between three and six other Fairy Legends :p
but hey no Poison legend because GF is good at this stuffAny fairy ever, but narrowing it down Diancie or Xerneas
I’d be so powerful. Legendary Pokemon would be looking for me, begging me to capture them.
is this how daddy kinks start?
FAE
yesNOYes
Definitely Rayqauaza
Go for Deoxys and kill two birds with one stone
If I had the option for a second one it would be Deoxys, I love it so much
Just wait untill they beat each other up and then just capture them
I am a strong trainer I will use an Ice punching and Crunching Feraligatr
Deoxys is cool as fuck, all those forms
I’d go to the Distortion World to battle Giratina
I still wish it were Ghost/Dark 🙁
I would go for Lugia.
Mew :3
If I were a powerful trainer, I would say Zygarde because I would have to find both its cores
Genesect.
Ok so it’s Mythical, and tbh Genesect doesn’t really have a Legendary Feel, (At least to me), but it’s cool.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hmmm

I stopped playing unfortunately, but glad they’re doing something cool for Halloween.
suhweeeet i just killed my first Amazy Dazy of my billionth Paper Mario 64 run
48 star points!
Even though both Charizard and Blastoise are my two favorite pokemon of all time ( Charizard for being the first pokemon to love and pick during my first playthrough while Blastoise because he was the first pokemon that I got to Level 100 during my second playthrough and eventually transferred into my Silver Version ) I’m going for Charizard,because Red version was the first pokemon game I have received.Red version is what got me into pokemon and I still love every new pokemon game that comes out to this day.
Yes Charizard may be overrated…..but I still love my fire dragon lizard
These “If you” comments are really fun
So another question because I’m bored and I’m dragging you all down with me
You wake up in a strange new world as a Pokémon, but only one which has its final form have a Mega Evolution (that has been made by GameFreak). Which would you be?
I’d be Audino, I’d love to be the healer guy on epic adventures and even before its Mega it was one of my favourites.
Scizor!! There would be nothing better then roaming the world as a badass bug
The best thing is you’d start as a Scyther which is already a powerful Pokémon in its own right
Very true.

Sableye!
Me as a Pokemon that can mega evolve?? Lucario
either Garchomp or Heracross
‘or Heracross’
That isn’t a Ground Type
What is this blasphemy :p
Dude Heracross is like my second favorite Pokemon of all time
it’s my Fighting type main
I guess the ‘Warrior’ part of the name should of clued me into an interest in Fighting-Types for you :
on the nose
i specialize in Ground and Fighting types
why the bloody hell do you think i’ve been pushing for a Ground/Fighting type
I thought it’d be because it’d probably have a bomb ass design :p
Like a Ground/Fighting type is guaranteed to look badass

please mind the sheer amount of crudeness nut i did this one one evening at a restaurant this is how Warhog would look like
one day i gotta sit down and fully perfect it I.E not drawn with crayons on the back of a friggin placemat
Looks like chuck norris transformed into a Pokemon
i was going for Zangief
I mean it’s a muscular Mud wrestling warthog with hulking muscles who can slam opponents into the ground with mind shattering power
very Minotaur like, but with a pig instead of a bull
I honestly wish it’s hair was a different shade of red
its supposed to be bloody crimson
Huh… it probably would look super cool with it
One other question, no nose ring?
i just wanted a hulking muscle pig nothing more nothing less
maybe for Mega Warhog
Ah :3
I would like a mon like this
Probably Garchomp because it is one of the best dragons (Drampa being the best of course) and he is really powerful.
Most likely Charizard because I would have the option to go X or Y Mega Evolution, which if I were fighting another Pokemon would be good since I could exploit which of its defenses are worse and I could have good combat flexibility. Plus, flying would be awesome. Otherwise I would be Blaziken or Scizor.
I feel like in this world that you’d probably only have access to one Mega Stone for one reason, but I do love your reasoning, and it’s not Mary sueish due to each form having its own weaknesses. Love it when people put this much thought into stuff!
Alright, well in that case I would probably be Charizard Y. But thanks! If I were a Pokemon I would ought to be able to defend myself, because if I came out into the world on my own in the middle of nowhere then I would need to protect myself.
Nah, you’ve won me over with the idea of dual Megas so you don’t have to decide!
Yeah, self defence is hella important, so I feel bad for all those Weedle and Magikarp our there :p
I mean if those Magikarps keep on spamming that Tackle and Splashes then they can annihilate everyone with that Hyper Beam and Hydro Pump.
True XD
You know when you think about it if you came across a Gyarados (especially a Mega one) you would be forever screwed because they are known for destroying cities
Hopefully they’d be as sentient as humans and thus have morals but if not
R U N
Or even worse…
A NEST OF THEM CAPABLE OF MEGA EVOLUTION. You would be so fucked
Medicham or Banette for various reasons. But I think Medicham more because I’m in my mind a lot but I’m feisty as hell
I’m legit surprised that you wouldn’t go for a Fairy Mega 😮
But you went for two of the best non Fairy Megas so you got my respect :p
I love fairies but I don’t think any of the mega fairies really represent me as a person, the closest one would be mega audino
I completely get you, Audino personally fits me because I do feel I am a caring person-and also I’m a complete geek for healing characters.
Im a caring person to, I will literally defend those I love with my life but in the same right if you mess with someone I love I will basically destroy you
I feel I’m more of a ‘pick up the pieces after conflict’ guy, I hate it but I always others are better suited for defending me and my friends amongst ourselves :s
Well I mean I have a protector complex so that may be part of it. which Ironically is the name of my personality on the myers briggs test INFJ, so I guess its not that far off
Seeing as the I stands for introverted you’d feel it’d be a lot more internalised :p
or I’m thinking of the wrong acronymCool to see people bring that test up! I’m ENFP 😛
Mega Beedrill or Gallade.
Ooh, both of those feel they’d be rough starts due to the Weedle and Ralts lines being quite frail 😡
But the hardest route is often worth it
As Beedrill though I’d be able to mega evolve before any other person!
Become the dictator before Earthen gets there thirty eight levels after you :p
Beedrill master race.
All Hail our
terrifying, violent and cruel dictatorglorious, merciful and awesome leader Ultron :pSharpedo, its only two stage and its water.
Well according to Pokemon mystery dungeon I would start as Treecko. Which I guess fits but so would Mawile
Once again I can’t vote. Blastoise is bold as if I voted for it even though I just now opened my browser and haven’t yet had a chance to vote. Sorry Charizard, if you lose by one point it’ll be my fault, I guess. ;(
I’m glad Pikachu is in last place. Stupid overrated mouse. I hate it so much
Pika Pika??
Apparently I was the 700th voter, guess that’s cool.
Woooow, just now I was wonder trading and I got a jolly shiny Liepard in a love ball with Prankster. It’s at level 100, moves are Rain Dance, Encore, Knock Off and U turn. The OT is AuSLove.TV is he famous??
Apparently so:
https://auslove.tv
I even got a shiny 6IV Slaking from them before what luck huh?? I traded it away because it was named Harambe lol
The meme lives on
Yes, he’s famous for wonder trading away hacked Pokemon.
Oh sh******

IMO if you keep it and only battle with people who know and agree its fine or even just keep it as a trophy you should be fine :p
Am I like the only one who doesn’t mind Pikachu? I completely get why it’s the mascot, but it doesn’t entirely appeal to me: but those prevo and evos are fine af ?
Your not alone
I like Pikachu I just like raichu better
Why do people hate Pikachu? It’s just another Pokemon.
I’m guessing it’s because everyone knows Pikachu.It’s the mascot of pokemon and it’s all over the place.First thing when people think of pokemon is pikachu,there’s tons of merchandise that has pikachu in one way or another.Pikachu is almost everywhere.I just guess people get tired of seeing it everywhere when there’s over 700 pokemon.
I feel Mega Blastoise should have been Water/Steel, though I admit it’s purely because of the Cannons
for all we know the cannons could be made of cartilage or a bone like subsistence, because realistically speaking the cannons are totally organic in nature which are hooked directly into some kind of mass liquid sack that constantly secretes and stockpiles a watery substance that is used in a variety of its Water attacks
Cool
Or maybe it’s just a pkm and it can use magical moves?
….get out
That wouldn’t be the first time…
*pulls a gun*
Look at everyone’s favorite Alolan Raichu, randomly becoming psychic
they did an absolutely shitty job on that one
What they should’ve said was
“Pikachu was not native to the Alola region but due to popular demand scientists brought them over to see if they could be bred there, after trying to breed Pikachu with Alolan native Pokemon they finally began showing up on the Alola Region, but little did they know that these Pikachu exposed to a Thunderstone experienced a tremendous amount of electrical energies in their brains thus evolving into Electric/Psychic Raichus
That would be cool
The one that annoys me is the description of Muk how it became how it was
IT’S SO OBVIOUSLY BASED OFF TEAM SKULL PAINT!!!
you moe ron
it was the constant consumption of Waste that caused the chemical shift in Muk’s body
and that shift caused a new chemical toxin to be born which requires constant energy to stabilize its metabolism so they constantly eat everything in sight almost savagely which explains its dark type (to a degree)
I know that, it just matches the paint, so Im annoyed that they don’t even reference that fact
Ha! You’re going to love the explanation for dugtrio and her wig collection
It wasn’t random, it was pancakes! Okay!?? Pancakes!!!!
His mega should’ve been water/steel
TEAM VENASAUR
Not because I played Green, but because I am a loyal member of Team Bulbasaur for life.
Also we all know who’s going to win this lol.
We do sadly, I’m also on Team Bulbasaur because I like it so much better than the other too recently. Bulba’s got that status moves and healing moves
OH shit! Illuminati confirmed (dex spoiler again) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/67b91fa8fbc6f5400f48063c98bb63eae03cebed0b7bbbb4a7a446f87b82d180.jpg
HOLY CRAP!!! YES!
I T A L L C O M E S T O G E T H E R
OH MY GOD THIS IS THE BIGGEST PLOT TWIST EVER…
WIMPOD IS ACTUALLY THE FOSSIL POKEMON
anythings possible but also doubtful. JUST COME OUT ALREADY POKEMON!!! lol
There are two possibilities here:
1. They just showed it in battle to demonstrate it and it isn’t actually in the wild.
2. It was revived from a fossil and scientists were able to re-introduce it into the wild and that is why it is so scared of everything. It is 3000+ years old
well now you have me onboard, it definitely looks hella ancient maybe it never evolved(real world evolved) and it still looks exactly like it did back then
AND THEY GAVE IT ARMOR AND GUNS AND STUFF BECAUSE IT WAS WEAK
Please… They look nothing alike. Different species of arthropods.
Some grumpy Gus doesn’t like jokes it seems
