Happy International Women’s Day

Women and girls are an important part of the Pokémon world. After all, they protect us (Officer Jennys) and care for us (Nurse Joys) and also train alongside men. Let’s not forget that professors didn’t even ask for a gender when starting the game until 3 years after the series debuted.

I won’t get too sentimental, but here’s to all the females that help make Pokémon great!

  1. On behalf of all men on earth I apologize to all women for every terrible thing Donald Trump has said……..Keep on keeping on girls!. Haha Really now tho it’s cool PJ is showing appreciation for not only the girls on this site, but the many girl gamers out there that love Pokemon.

  2. A glitch in Sun and Moon allows you to finish Poke Pelago activities in 60 seconds, seriously hope GF doesn’t fix this because it makes things a lot easier

    It’s cool to see that PJ is commemorating festivals days that don’t have an event in GO 🙂

    • Would be interesting if they did. Maybe all Pikachu caught today could be female (balancing out all old Pikachu becoming male while they’re at it).

        • Well yeah as a whole. Not counting race and other problems throughout history. Men as a whole (specifically white men) don’t have the problems that the minorities have

          Reply
          • I feel like looking at things in such a generalised way isn’t necessarily helpful. I have personally struggled for much of my life and frankly still am, perhaps more than ever. Being expected to be OK because of Gender or Race is actually a problem and why many men don’t speak out when they are struggling.
            Also I don’t want to talk about race but it is much more of an issue in America than it is here.

          • I don’t think that’s really the point though? Like of course people are going to struggle and have problems in their life regardless of gender or race or anything else but men haven’t really had to fight for the right to vote or to be treated equally to men. Women still have to fight for their reproductive rights.

            Men have had it pretty easy all through out history. Of course they have had hardships, I mean they’re human, but they have always had the rights that women had to fight for

          • Then what should have been said is “No because men as a whole have never had to struggle for rights or equality in a world where men are in control.”, it’s still somewhat inaccurate but as a generalised statement it works better.
            Otherwise I agree. Everyone is becoming more equal, not fast enough but it’s alot better than some countries even now.

          • I’ll agree that maybe generalizing it may not be the best as not everyone experiences the same things and has the same privileges regardless of gender/race/etc, but I honestly don’t think men deserve a day of recognition. If you want to give those who have struggled a day that’s coo, but giving a day for all men is also generalizing and there are certainly many men that don’t deserve that kind of praise. As a white male in middle class (America) I can tell you that I’ve never once had to deal with being stereotyped and I appreciate that immensely. I can’t begin to comprehend how it feels for people of minorities of all kinds to be given problems for simply being “different” I know this makes me sound like an asshole (and it certainly does), but it’s hard for some to really understand how another feels without having gone through the same treatment. For that reason it is kind of hard for me to describe my own standing without making me sound like an asshat. Either way my point is that men over all have had it pretty good and when people try to act like they haven’t it’s incredibly disrespectful to those who have. *sigh*…..I never meant to get into something like this….hahaha

          • I don’t think we should have a day for it either. I would also suggest there are many women that don’t deserve that kind of praise. Not treating people as individuals leads to arguments. Simple qualifiers like ‘most’ or ‘many’ would often help to avoid arguments I feel. I also didn’t really want to get into this but nobody is without flaw.

          • *sigh* fair enough……Lets just agree everyone should have equal rights and move on hahaha

      • okay….huh i would’ve thought that was a thing somewhere but whatever i guess women and girls need the appreciation more then men and boys.

  4. Really though, Pokémon has always had such good female characters. Kinda amazing how other game devs struggle with writing a girl but Game Freak does it right. Writing them as characters lol

    But yeah I love GF. They do some dumb stuff sometimes but they make good games

  5. What’s everyone’s favourite female NPC’s from Pokemon (not counting proper characters like Gym Leaders etc)?

    I like the Battle Girls from ORAS, most of the Ace Trainers, Rangers, the Furisode girls, Hex Maniac and probably others.

  6. What do you think is the best Zelda design?

    The Hyrule Warriors one is pretty ace, they really did a great job by taking the best thing out of all the Zelda designs. Screenie here: http://womenwriteaboutcomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Hyrule_Warriors_-_Zelda_Artwork.png

    I really like BotW’s design, especially the hair design. In some shots the face looks too round but overall it’s a very nice design, I like her dress too.

    Many people will probably say TP, I can agree with that, she really looks like a princess (maybe even queen) but her face looks too serious and I dislike the brown hair.

    SS one is nice too, reminds me a bit of a past girlfriend :P.

    Toon Zelda is cute, like the Nendoroid they made out of here.

    OoT is one of the worst designs, she really looks like a nun.

  8. In honor of women’s day, I’d like to share my favorite female pokemon characters:
    1) Misty. Where to start? She was always so tough in the anime and put stupid Ash in his place.
    She was fiery, but compassionate when she wanted to be.
    https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/37a325fc5e0b5707ead2221a19af57e510cf2e5bd762d9ded0b93e85d5d7ea2e.gif

    2) Cynthia. She’s so strong and cool! Her theme is awesome and her team is incredible.
    http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/3/38/Diamond_Pearl_Cynthia.png/170px-Diamond_Pearl_Cynthia.png

    3) Lillie. I was not expecting her to come along and steal the show in SM. Her arc was really awesome and I love how she stood up to her mom, but still wanted to save her. I hope she comes back in future titles

    4) Karen. Our first dark type trainer. She has a cool design and some sage advice. *cough* I ship her and Nanu *cough*
    http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/4/4b/HeartGold_SoulSilver_Karen.png/150px-HeartGold_SoulSilver_Karen.png

    5) Elesa. Her design and character are super cool. She has a nice little role in the story. She’s definitely a standout of the gym leaders in BW.
    http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/4/40/Black_2_White_2_Elesa.png/240px-Black_2_White_2_Elesa.png

    6) Green. It’s really cool they decided to include her in the manga, and she was a fun antagonist for a while. She’s also really clever in a way that makes her battles way more interesting than most.
    http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/f/f8/Green_RGB_chapter_Adventures.png/250px-Green_RGB_chapter_Adventures.png

    7) Yellow. I’m gonna be honest, I was shook when it was revealed that she was a girl! I had no idea. She’s really caring toward pokemon and her team up with Green to find Red made for a cool story. She’s also got magic powerssss!

  9. Zelda BotW arrived yesterday! I’ve been playing it so much and I love it. It’s also been challenging, which is simultaneously refreshing and frustrating.

    Reply
    • Difficulty drops off after a while though. There are still some difficulty spikes, but I haven’t died in the last five hours I played. Feels good to get revenge on enemies that kicked your ass in the first hours of the game.

      Reply
      • Aww I kind of wanted it to stay hard. I suppose since there’s no set path, everything has to be more or less the same difficulty.
        I just got done beating the Divine Beast Vah Ruta. Nearly kicked my butt b/c I didn’t have nearly enough arrows, food, and only had 4 hearts

        Reply
        • Don’t worry, there are still tough fights if you want to go in head first. Some enemies will still outclass you and the best weapons in the game are not much more powerful than what you can find in the midgame. You just get better at avoiding fights, finding alternate paths, using your wit to tackle a group of enemies… The skills you pick up from defeating beasts also help, Mipha’s Grace is one of the main reasons I hardly die anymore. That and because I pick up like 10 fairies each time I go to the Fairy Fountain. Only annoying enemies are the guardians, it is hard to run away from them if you are in no need for a fight.

    • Man, I play so much everyday and I still feel like you are way ahead of me. How many shrines have you done already? I’m now on my way to Goron City, just got the Master Sword so I can take on the dungeon bosses and going to beat all four dungeon bosses before I go retrieve all my memories . After that it’s big boss time I guess :D!

  12. So let me clarify.. the Switch saves games to the system, but not to your account? So if you bought a new Switch, you couldn’t keep your purchases?
    Or does it save it to the SD card?

    Also are save files saved to the system, SD card, or cartaridge

  14. Women in Pokemon always have good designs to me, and anime wise most of them have good personalities. Here’s my list of the top 5 women in Pokemon.
    5 Bonnie.
    https://media.giphy.com/media/72r8blkHdKWLS/giphy.gif
    She’s an adorable child, and is an amazing character in the anime Series. Bonnie is an outgoing child, and loves pokemon. She is MUCH better than Max due to her not constantly nagging her brother, nor acting like a complete know it all. I believe Bonnie character is the representation of Bravery.
    4. May
    https://media.giphy.com/media/9tHExBqUDFXwI/giphy.gif
    “Whaaaat the main girl of Hoenn, your favorite region is only number 4???” Yea this shocked me too. Originally May used to be my favorite Pokemon girl, I mean come on, who couldnt love that bandana, Torchic, and those gloves. But after some reflecting, I realized May, while very cool, doesnt have THAT much development or depth to her character. Sure at first she hated pokemon, but her attitude changes so quickly that you forget that she used to hate them. The best thing May brought to the series is contest battles. Now, Ash isnt the main target of everything.
    3. Dawn
    http://media3.giphy.com/media/MpHGtb8s1gwow/giphy.gif
    “Whaaaat The Main girl from Sinnoh is higher than main girl for Hoenn???” Yea this really shocked me as well. After I rewatched Sinnoh, I realized how Good Dawn is. She actually develops. In direct contrast to May’s hate for pokemon but natural talent, Dawn loves pokemon, and always knew she wanted to be a coordinator, but Dawn was just awful in contests, Losing twice in a row (both in the performance stage).Thus causing her to enter a mini depressive state where she didnt want to perform in contests anymore. This caused never before seen development in a character. Most characters in the show always push on, but Dawn actually was about to quit. We also Dawn actually learning from Ash. She goes from always losing to 2nd place in the Grand Festival.
    2. Serena
    https://media.giphy.com/media/jb4Gf8TgCVji0/giphy.gif
    Now I dont have MUCH to say for Serena because I have nt finishied the Kalos anime yet, but I knew she’s just awesome. Serena was actually lost on what to do with herself. Most characters in the show know what they want to be/ do from the start, but Serena actually was lost. Fans have always hinted Misty liked Ash or Mayliked Ash (Ew), but this was actually confirmed. Not only this, but Serena was actually attracted to Ash which caused for great moments for the show. I still need to watch more of the show, but her development to where Ive seen (a little after her haircut) made me love her.
    1. Lillie
    https://68.media.tumblr.com/52e7d93425c07decef5abcfce4e85cfb/tumblr_oh2wngYVNv1qioqevo1_r1_400.gif
    Im gonna keep this one short because everyone just played SM, so everyone pretty much knows why she would be here. Lillie is just awesome. She grows as a character from Helpless to Helpful, not only her growth, but the fact she’s in game character, unlike every other character on this list, is strong. Sun and Moon demonstrated they can make an amazing cast of very different characters in Pokemon games.

  16. Now this may be the copious amounts of gamer cockiness but I feel so powerful in-game I’m gonna tackle Hyrule Castle

    Reply
          • Granted I did kill the Silver Mane Lynel and they have more health then the final final boss, I might win but if I do then the whole advanture stops
            Sure I can explore every inch of the game do every shine and fight all the mini bosses but the drive won’t be so potent

          • Personally, I beleive every game has at least one thing they mess up on
            This is BOTW’s thing… the final final boss

  17. Earthen where did you find all the time to play so much? 😛
    I only got like 10 hearts and three stamina upgrades and one dungeon down. And I’ve played non-stop each day. You sure you still sleep?

    Reply
    • (i barely sleep and i get up extremely early) i have been off for 4 days,
      I played probably a collective of 40-60 hours and i have urinated in several containers to avoid stopping

      and to make matters even more daunting i done reached Hyrule Castle and beat Calamity Ganon, but decided not to fight the final final boss until i have all memories, the majority of shines completed, and until i see the three dragons and earned their blessings also upgrade some stuff and activate the last two fairy fountains

      this can sum up my achievements

  18. Hey who keeps saying Fire Starters are based on Chinese Zodiac cause

    WTF is Typhlosion?!

    And Delphox… A fox isn’t on the list unless they say Foxes are related to dogs and that sense yes it fits

    Reply
    • The argument for Typhlosion is that its the mouse, because its starting form is called the field mouse pokemon. However its line is based on quilled animals like hedge hogs, so it really doesn’t work. The theory is just fan BS that get’s updated and re-imagined as every example that doesn’t fit it comes up.

    I just found a DRAGON! It’s called Farosh based on the compendium, and I have no idea how to kill it, let alone hit it.

    Reply
      • Ok so like uhgg…. So she was introduced as this mysterious and powerful gym that had a history with the crystal gems and a friendship with Steven. She just wanted to get home, did some really bad things to do it (Steal the ocean, almost drown Steven and Connie) but Steven calmed her down, forgave her, and healed her so she could get back home. Cool.

        So then she comes back with Peridot and Jasper as a prisoner and informant. The way Lapis acts around Jasper shows that they have not had pleasant interactions priotr to arriving on Earth. She even argues with Steven about escaping because she is so hopeless that she just wants the lightest punishment she could get and doesn’t want to risk anything. She later fuses with Jasper to take her as a prisoner and she is out of the show for a while. Good. Enough time to develop Peridot (and she is a whole other can of worms)

        So here is when it starts getting shaky. Malachite comes back RIGHT AS THE CLUSTER IS BEING DEALT WITH. So already we won’t get time to relax after the cluster because Lapis is back in the show. What ever. Fine. So Jasper is gone and it isn’t clear if she’s actually dead or still out there. We don’t know until Alone at Sea which is a long long ways away. Lapis gets a fantastic episode (Same Old World) then right after that, she has to deal with Peridot then she becomes an asshole.

        Despite the fact that Peridot has made it super clear that she wants peace with Lapis, she just won’t have it. She destroys the tape recorder which is what kept Peridot sane basically! Add that to the “lapis did something shitty list”. And I get it. Lapis has some very bad memories of Peri and is hesitant to trust her. BUT IT TAKES ONE EPISODE? Then right after, the rubies come so Lapis doesn’t get time to talk about what happened and adjust to living with Peridot. We’re just jumping into this.

        So she gets Alone at Sea which is a great episode that SHOULD lead into Lapis helping Pearl, Steven and Connie hunt down Jasper to get closure or hell, even just some time to help Lapis heal. But no, she gets squared away just so she could be lazily shipped with Peridot. She could be cut out of like, all the episodes she is in and nothing would be different.

        She does nothing. She never has to deal with the bad things she has done, she never deals with her own issues (she’s an abuse victim, she’s depressed, she possibly has PTSD, etc.) and she does nothing to help other characters in a way that improves herself. Why not help her heal by becoming part of beach city and maybe delivering pizzas or fishing (which is set up in Alone at Sea) for Fish Stew Pizza.

        But no. No no no. They got so lazy.

        Reply
        • honestly I just chalked that up to it being who she is, I never liked her character, she’s morally weak and mostly self serving. So no that she’s out of harms way and living a peaceful life she can be who she really is…. nothing… she’s not ambitious at all

          Reply
          • no its not, they still have time to rectify her if they wish, it would be that if they ended the show and never did anything significant with her ever again, but right now, for an 11minute show, she’s unnessecary because they have other things to focus on, its how steven universe does it, there are tons of sub plots and events that they pick up and leave for a while only to go back and tie up loose ends later

          • yeah but is that really the best way to go about it? How many plots are there now?

            Diamonds
            Rubies
            Lapis/Peridot
            Corruption
            Bismuth
            Rose
            Mystery Girl

            like there is so much going on and with such a character heavy show, you can’t leave them in the dust like they did to Lapis. Get your characters right, then jump into plot

          • no, they need to just give us longer episodes more frequently so I can drown myself in steven universe duh 😛

          • I feel like Steven Universe is like my best friend who is rad but fucks up sometimes but I forgive them because they mean well but they keep fucking up over and over to the point where they are just testing my patience.

            *sigh* Maybe they can pull themselves out of this rut? Maybe? Just maybe?

          • I feel like her abuse doesn’t define her though, but the show makes it seem like it does. That’s the worst part about it.

          • Yes, Jasper was a victim that’s true. But Lapis also was trapped in a mirror and had her gem forcibly removed and cracked. Jasper also wasn’t all that nice to Lapis either, and kind of used her

          • Am I that one annoying fan for wanting her to really emotionally connect with peridot and be able to fuse? Maybe Peridot has some tragic past and they can deal with their probs together. Idk, maybe that’s stupid

        • This is reliable info wow just reading this makes despise her too

          And I feel they might do something with her farther along the road, but shes kind of gone into the “American Laziness” as I call it (No offense to my fellow Americans, but we are pretty f*ckin’ lazy) I feel she has a chance to bounce back

  22. Hey I made a unique idea for two different birds
    first the main Regional Bird
    A Bluejay that becomes Dark/Flying upon final form because they are brutes and territorial and they love to just be bad

    And the second
    A Cardinal that I haven’t given a typing yet, but it hates the Bluejay

    Reason for this story is
    The Bluejay was brought in by a foreign ship then they started to colonize the area and started pushing out the Cardinal till they both sat in stalemates against each other over territory, but they get into epic brawls

  25. Various Japanese TV Guides have revealed the next pair of new episode titles from Pokémon Sun & Moon. These episodes are set to air on April 6th as part of a one-hour special. March 30th is a week off. The first features Ash bonding with Pikachu while the final episode features Litten request Ash’s help with the Stoutland it lives with

    Episode 965: It is Time for Litten to Set Off!

Three of the cia’s hacking software are named Spearow, Tododile, and Dugtrio. Just another reminder that we are the generation of nerds, even among our spies. Now back to the rather horrifying implication’s of all of those leaks.

  32. Corner of Irrelevancy 1: Musharna (That pink thing with the smoke coming out of its head)

    Overview: Despite the fact that it had a minor role in the story of B/W and a bit of relevance in Su/Mo NU, nobody really remembers this thing. A lot of Pokemon in B/W were really good, but a bunch were forgotten pretty easily. With Victini, Meloetta, Reuniclus, Gothitelle, and the near unanimously hated Woobat, Munna and Musharna were eclipsed by other pokemon in the same gen in every way.
    Info:
    Type: Psychic
    Classification: The Drowsing Pokemon
    Height: 3’07
    Weight: 133.4 Lbs
    Stats:
    HP: 116
    Attack: 55
    Defense: 85
    Special Attack: 107
    Special Defense: 95
    Speed: 29 (It’s slow… Alolan musharna confirmed!?)
    Base Stat total: 487 (4 more than Hypno)
    In fact this thing is literally gen 5 Hypno wtf…..

    The dex entries are surprisingly uncreative, gen 6 just repeats its gen 5 ones
    The mist is packed with dreams of people, and that they change color based on the kind of dreams it has eaten….
    The question is…. how can it be relevant?
    Simple…… Give this thing a Mega

    Why a Mega and not an evolution? Well because of this

    This Pokemon is this mysterious figure that lurks within the dreamyard. Why give an evolution to a pokemon like this that already has an established sort of theme? A mega can be like what happens when it absorbs enough dreams, or a last ditch weapon. Or a protection against people taking dream mist. Remember that scene in BW 1 with team plasma?
    Obviously the mega would keep its typing, it fits it
    It would probably become bulkier since Musharna isn’t exactly known for being an attacker of any sort, it just floats around eating dreams.
    For an ability, let’s give it a new one… I can’t think of a name yet though
    It’ll be like leech seed, but only work when the foe is asleep.
    Perhaps with a Mega, this Pokemon might once again relevant?
    One day I hope my DREAM of making this Pokemon relevant will come true.

  33. Y’know…. I just gotta say
    I love Pokemon… it’s been around for my whole life, and I’ve changed quite a bit in my life… Sometimes I look back at my nicknames from as early as ORAS and XY and I think…

  36. What I really don’t like about the newer gens is the lack of good spin off games.

    Gen 3 and Gen 4 had such great spin offs, while the newer gens focus more on casual free to play games

  40. Since I feel like burning the last of my shift on the can might as well crap out a Fakemon

    Now today I’ve been thinking about apex hunters, unmatched killing machines that once they’re on top they stay there! And nothing sums up cold blooded fury none other than

    Komodoom!
    The Apex Pkm
    Dragon/Poison
    Strong Jaws/Tough Claws HA: Merciless
    A massive and bulky quadruped reptilian Pokemon with a sickly black green purple hue, it has overlapping layers of dense leathery hide with a few pin like spines on the length of its spine and a long thick tail with a pointed whip like tip, they have a thick neck and a wide rounded snout with glaring blood red eyes, a forked tongue lashes out every so often and it constantly drools a pungent venomous saliva that has a lavender coloration, and lastly powerful muscular legs with five sets of razor sharp claws

    “Feared by all humans and Pokemon this ruthless hunter delivers a venomous bite so strong that few ever survive to tell the tale, these Pokemon are often forbidden to be caught and owned due to their vicious nature.”

    HP: 125
    Atk: 140
    Def: 100
    SpAtk: 35
    SpDef: 45
    Speed: 50

      • I have another pointless robotics meeting, then another competition next Saturday

        I’m slightly hoping we win for no more meetings on Saturdays (the one day I want to just say F*ck life and relax)

        Reply
      • No I’ll never like Mondays but Robotics lied and said “we don’t have any more 7 freakin’ hour meetings on Saturdays” and today they tell us another freakin meeting meaning I have to waste 7 hours doing nothing (cause I know they don’t want me there and they will complain I’m doing nothing) ugh till no more Meeting on Saturday it will be the second worst day in my book (second to Monday)

        Reply
          • I could care less if we have 2 hour Tuesday meetings… but 7 hours on a SATURDAY!!!! and we’re not allowed to even work on competition robot till 6 hrs during the competition!

  42. So with the new switch news anyone have any opinions on them? Generally the only real things of note is that Cloud saves are likely to come in the future to it and that they kinda said that there’s a good chance that Smash 4 won’t be getting a port to the switch and instead are focusing their efforts on smash 5.

    Reply
    • Then again they “said” mother 3 was coming as well. They implied Sma5h, but they also implied M3.

      And Reggie said they focused on giving each console a good experience with each franchise. So, *ahem*, where is AC Wii U, Metroid Wii U, F-Zero Wii U….

      Reply
      • Well in the interview I’m talking about he did name drop AC along side Smash, so that’s probably in the works, he did name drop Metroid along side M3, and F-Zero’s dead. It doesn’t have a big enough fanbase to justify them making a game, and indies have made its natural successor, and its on the switch.

        Reply
        • Oh yeah, don’t get me wrong. I don’t actually care for Metroid or F-Zero, but I know they’re in high demand. Yeah, I know what you mean, Fast Racing is a succesor, just as that one indie is a blatant ripoff succesor to advanced wars.

          Also, I NEED A NEW ANIMAL CROSSING IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW

  43. so now that some of us have own a switch, do you still want to see a Mainline pokemon game on it or should it stick to the 3ds?

    Reply
    • Yeah, and here’s why:
      1) I want Pokemon on the TV, ’nuff said.
      2) Pokemon is a HUGE system seller and Nintendo desperately needs this console to succeed.
      3) Pokemon on the TV
      4) SM was already pushing the limits of the hardware of the 3DS. I mean seriously, the system could barely handle the game.
      5) Pokemon games ON THE BIG SCREEN
      6) Pokemon in HD!!!
      7) This would push the Switch as truly a combination of Nintendo’s handhelds and consoles, as opposed to simply a console that can be taken places (because honestly, it’s more of a handheld than an actual console).

      Sure there’s the argument that it needs two screens but if we’re being honest they never used the second screen that creatively. We’d be missing out on Pokemon Amie and some menus.

        • Nah. No need. I’ve made my point before that I feel that it simply wouldn’t work. Pokemon does sell, but its also sold well with selling on cheaper hardware and aiming more and kids, which the switch doesn’t really do. I’d love to see Pokemon in HD, but I do feel it should stick to what ever is cheaper to develop on, which as of this time is the 3DS.

          But yeah, by all means I would love to see something like a Pokemon coliseum or XD, but not trash on the switch as a compromise.

          Reply
          • Pokemon makes hella money, so it’s not like they’re exactly all that worried about development costs

          • Yeah, that’s true. But I was speaking more from a consumer standpoint then a Dev one. A parent can buy a console and pokemon game for their kid for less then half the cost of a switch alone, which will always sound more appealing to them. That, and after seeing people testing the switch to see how durable they are, I don’t have a lot of fate that Nintendo made them with kids in mind.

          • I see valid points from both sides. That said, if they haven’t already started developing a main series game for it, I’m sure they’ve considered it

          • Most certainly, they’ve said so them selves that they are looking into the possibility of developing on the switch. It’ll just be a case of seeing if its worth developing more for the switch, the 3DS, or what ever Nintendo has planned next. And even then It’ll probably take like 2-3 years for that game to be made.

  44. Ok but I’ve been playing Metroid Zero Mission in free time at school (way more than Crystal >w>) and omg I love it. It seems I always love the hell out of Metroid when I play it but I have never finished one. Hopefully I can fix that this time

  46. I cannot believe I forgot someone on my list yesterday.
    I forgot Clair. I love Clair’s personality, she was a strong person, and felt no one should be able to conquer her. I even loved how she cried and went to the Dragon’s Den to test the player’s courage. I know it’s an annoying attitude but it’s a realistic one to have for someone people barely beat. One thing I LOVE about clair her outfit and blue hair is her battle. She is easily one of the challenging gym leaders to date. She doesnt seem too unrealistically hard (Whitney), but she will beat you if you are not prepared.

        Anywho I think I’ll modify Landprey to be more Bobbit worm and give it a prevo maybe like a common earthworm pure ground

        The idea is a subterranean Pokemon that hides right at the surface of their hunting grounds and grab and drag prey down with their powerful teeth
