OOC: This is a Pokémon in real life sort of thing. It’s based in what I believe is called unreality. I saw some other people do it, and it seems fun!

I keep practicing, but i'm really bad at throwing the pokeball. It never goes where i want, and i get laughed at. Miss Charlie, how do you get the ranger special top thingy to go where you want it to?

i'm sorry to hear that. throwing pokeballs is actually a pretty difficult skill that takes a lot of practice, and not everybody picks up on it, the same way not everybody picks up on battling or cooking or any other skill. the people who are laughing at you are being really unkind, and i hope they learn better.

a ranger's capture disc is different from a pokeball, because we control the disc remotely using hand motions or, in some cases, a touch screen. with a pokeball, you're aiming once and hoping for the best. but, just like with using a styler, practice makes perfect! it took me a pretty long time to get used to turning my wrist in the exact right way to make the capture disc turn. there are actually practice pokeballs you can purchase that mimic the weight of a regular pokeball but wont break if thrown repeatedly at things or try to capture anything.

you can also look into getting pokeballs that have a wider capture range. they tend to be a little more expensive, but they don't require you to actually land a hit on the pokemon you're trying to catch. you might also talk to a local pokemon expert such as a professor or gym leader! they can often give you some tips on how to improve your aim.

good luck, and i hope throwing pokeballs gets a little easier for you! and if it doesn't, try not to get upset with yourself. i've met some pretty incredible trainers, like champion trainer nemona, who also have trouble with it.

[pokemoncenter]

If I may add a thought of my own.

Baseball practice. Any method that baseball players use to practice pitching, even for younger players, should help with practicing your Pokeball throws, as well.

[battle-ranger]

I use pokeballs attached to a small throwing stick. I have an easier time throwing those than just the balls. And I can detach the balls for easier storage.

[pokemonshelterstories]

hey I'm in a really rough spot rn. I'm a pokemon sitter and I have this one client that I take care of pretty frequently. they have an eevee that just adores me. usually when it comes to clients like this one that limit feedings to once per day and dont let them out very often ai dont like to take care of them, but I love eevee too much to let them go. Isometimes take eevee out to do some battling (with a responsible trainer!!!!) even if the client doesnt like it because it just makes eevee so so happy. it was purring in my lap after a little tussle dappled in the sunlight looking so cute then in a flash of light it evolved. I'm not a trainer but I keep a pokedex on me cuz i do the occasional field work and it's an espon??? It seems to only evolve when it bonds with its trainer??????? I don't own this baby it literallyjust evolved out of nowhere and Im frantically tryingt9 find out how to reverse it because the owners specifically have not evolved eevee because it's easier to take care of than it's evolutions. like they won't ever let a water stone or anything in a mile radius of their house they even made jokes that i dont think were jokes about disowning eevee if it evolved. And now eevee (espeon???) is stressed because I'm stressed and they're coming back from paldea trip in like a dat is there anything I can do to unevolve eevee if you could answer this asap it'd be much appreciated cuz if not me and this lil guy are cooked

so...you disobeyed your client's wish not to battle with their eevee, resulting in the eevee evolving, and because of that they may have to rehome their pokemon because it's possible they'll no longer be able to take care of it?

sorry, but there's not a world in which this isn't your fault. regardless of whether or not you think your client's eevee likes you more than them, this was not your pokemon. there is no way to fix this. eevee cannot "devolve" themselves post-evolution.

if i were you, i'd start figuring out what you're going to tell your client and preparing for the possibility of legal action. you need to gather any written communication you had with your client about their pokemon's care. even if you didn't mean to evolve their eevee, you still took actions where evolution was an expected potential outcome, i.e. battling. your client could very well sue you depending on what your contract with them says.

provided that you aren't just making this up, i sincerely hope you do not take care of anyone else's pokemon after this.

[battle-ranger]

Any sort of work with a Pokemon requires a professional to understand all known aspects of the Pokemon involved. Hence why people in my field get IPCUC and and Trappers Catchers Safety Trainings. I know that Pokemon sitting is nothing like that, but come on.

15 minutes of research, and you would know what not to do.

[realpokemon]

hey, it’s been awhile, have you become champion of your region yet?

listen i know we're all about holding trainers to unrealistic expectations and that everyone's a fuckin Ace Trainer with an Alakazam and a Twisted Spoon on goddamn Victory Road. just because someone goes off the map for a couple months everyone always asks you "ohhh have you at least beaten the elite four yet?" "how many regions do you have badges in?" like im about to go tradesies with you my Groudon for your Kyogre or some shit absurd like that. re-normalize trainers that spin in circles on route 16. and grow up

[battle-ranger]

As someone who technically qualified as an Ace Trainer, and had the outfit and everything, This is correct. On Victory Road, you either crush your opponent, or get crushed yourself. It got boring really fast, so I eventually left.

[thefaeriefeatherdark]

I’m sure someones already said this but I often see Tumblr described as a hellsite. This is fundamentally incorrect.

Tumblr is the faesite. Everybody is super confused and lost, you keep running into random places. Somehow you end up stuck there forever after interacting a couple of times. The people are all strange, everybody simultaneously seems to be from the future and the past as if time is meaningless.

[stargazing-at-the-moon-deactiva]

YES

[amysnotdeadyet]

also technology breaks at random, and sometimes you just suddenly feel a thousand years old

[variablejabberwocky]

everybody has a half dozen names and none of them are their “real” name.

which name(s) you know gives you different powers over them.

there are Rules but you mostly have to figure them out for yourself.

getting the Rules wrong or breaking them can cost you more than you ever even knew you had.

Maximum Horny at all times

be careful what you wish for or you just might get it

I should probably put this on the main blog so people know what I mean when I say faesite

[battle-ranger]

And this is why I only have flygon

[realpokemon]

okay maybe i DIDN'T read the notification warning about a legendary pokémon danger in the area. but in my defense i was touching tallgrass and being logged off and such. living in the moment

[battle-ranger]

Are you okay?

[realpokemon]

[realpokemon]

[battle-ranger]

They’re at the flower festival.

[dragonprincessmew]

Pokemon headcanon that once Absol are studied and people realize they prevent disasters instead of causing them, particularly dangerous workplaces get themselves a workplace Absol and it also decreases accidents.

Construction sites and fishing ships and factories will have one that pretty much just lazes about until it just gets up howling one day and knocks a dude down. They almost never figure out what would have happened but they're always like "yes absol thank you absol I am so grateful to be on the floor right now. Can I offer you a treat in this trying time"

[transgenderrari-moved]

[thenewborndeity]

Diversity win! Absol is OSHA Compliant!

@osha-official-the-sequel

[hollowedfox]

@bedrock-to-buildheight I thought about your Pokémon au when I saw this today

[bedrock-to-buildheight]

I legally must add them. For safety

[battle-ranger]

The International Postal Service warehouse my coworker used to work at did this. They had a houndoom and an absol, and also a Watchhog that belonged to one of the drivers and helped direct packages.

One time they all went nuts looking at the boiler room in the admin section. Everyone cleared out of the wing, and BOOM! A hot water heater shot through three floors. It went straight through a desk, out the roof, and into a nearby field.

Thank god for safety Pokemon!

[pokemoncenter]

I wish it was more common practice for people to put their Trainer Class or other title on their blogs. I have very little idea how to refer to many people here.

[xxcodeveeveexx]

Kinda defeats the point of being anonymous.

[skyfire-the-watcher]

Along with the fact that this place isn't professional so no titles are needed. You can just refer to people by their online names, no titles needed.

[pokemoncenter]

There are very few people I feel close enough to to merit that. It is not a matter of professionalism, it is a matter of social dynamic.

[wishmaker-astra]

So... there are people who don't want titles used for them. Perhaps specifically because they dislike the social dynamics of it. Such as me.

[pokemoncenter]

While this is true, and I will try to accommodate, a lack of title, or only using one's name, implies a level of closeness and friendship.

There are few people here I feel friendship enough to do this.

[wishmaker-astra]

I mean, in some cultures? But in others use of a title for most people outside of specific contexts is an insult due to implying discomfort or dislike. And it can vary within the culture depending on sub and side culture of an area or context. I mean, over here in Castelia there's large swaths of locations where if you used a title someone would think you were trying to start a fight.

[pokemoncenter]

I am a Castelia native, yes.

And I think that is accurate. I feel discomfort towards most people. It is polite to use titles, and I am not comfortable dropping them.

[battle-ranger]

Also, sometimes people might have multiple titles, and there blog is involved with one of them. This blog focuses on me as “Busboy” which is my title at work.

But on a battle circuit, I’d be introduced as an Ace Trainer.

[realpokemon]

rotomblr: where is your pokémon Right Now. do you know?

[battle-ranger]

They’re playing gin rummy because it’s very slow at the restaurant.

[lilycoving]

I hate fireworks. Yes, they’re pretty. But they also release an honestly ridiculous amount of pollutants into the air, water, and land in a very, very, very short amount of time. I’d think that the reason they’ve gotten so popular is because people do not know the environmental impact of fun colored explosives.

[lilycoving]

[battle-ranger]

I keep my Flygon in her pokeball during all hours of night this time of year. Her old trainer used to punish her by throwing firecrackers at her. This was hell for a trapinch, and it still affects her now.

[chongoblog]

By the way the first season of Gravity Falls is currently free on Youtube, so if you wanna watch peak, you now have a perfect opportunity to do so

The Kalosian Replicability Principle is a modern law pushed in scientific findings. It holds that any scientific experiment or phenomenon discovered in Kalos, to be considered a true law or principle, must be repeated again outside of the region and achieve the same results.

Kalos has two factors that necessitate this: First, the radiation from the legendary "Ultimate Weapon" (modern: L'arme suprême) has created a unique 'field' or 'climate' around Kalos that allows for unique phenomenon. This is expressed in things such as the origin of Mega Evolution, as all known Key Stones and Mega Stones originated in Kalos, and other Pokemon taking on a unique metamorphic shape akin to Mega Evolution, without a stone. Kalos' unique field allows for Pokemon to harness their innate Transform ability to achieve a greater power when bonded with a Trainer.

The second factor is related to the first- Kalos as a culture is rather fond of the occult. Superstition and hoaxes are common there as entertainment, especially when mixed in with the truth of the common ghost activity of the region. Thus proving false events that occur in Kalos is extremely difficult- People love to share rumors and hoaxes as entertainment, and those will get picked up by others and shared without knowledge of this origin.

Overall, Kalos is an extremely unique region. Some people argue that Kalos is not defined by the legal regional borders, but everything within the unique radiation field left millennia ago is Kalos.

[last-lorekeeper-archive]

Typical. The Draconids have known about Mega Evolution and incorporated it into our culture for centuries but since Kalos was the first to do research on it suddenly its a Kalos only thing.

[pokemoncenter]

The origin, at least, seems to be the radiation from Kalos' weapon millennia ago (currently estimated to originate from late European Bronze Age). Stones may have made their way elsewhere in the world, but the current understanding is that forming them requires processes that can only occur there.

[battle-ranger]

What about the stones found in Hoenn? Those regions are on other sides of the world.

[lesbxdyke]

I could think of no better way to share the news than this!

So when I was 17, my cat went missing and I'd given up hope of ever seeing him again.

Until on Monday, 27th of May, 2024, my friend sent me a FB post asking 'isn't that your mother?' about the person named on the microchip.

Here he is! 16 years old, and found safe, twelve whole years after he went missing!

Yesterday (Tuesday the 28th of May, 2024) I went to the rescue that had him, and I reclaimed my boy, renaming him Artie! (He'd originally been called 'Cat' because my mother and I couldn't decide on a name)

He's home safe with me now, currently inhabiting my bathroom and purring up a storm every time someone goes in there!

I'll be doing slow introductions between him and my current cat to give them the best possible chance of living in harmony!

Here's some pictures of Artie once we let him out of the carrier:

Great reminder to microchip your pets ❤️
