Your Local Pokémon Scientist

THIS BLOG HAS BEEN RETIRED. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE MEMORIES.

[kalosianbiologist]

Hi, bet you didn't expect me to come back did you? This is my final post I plan on putting on this side blog. Friend got me back on tumblr and I've been cleaning stuff out to start anew on the platform, and I may as well make this while I'm at it.

TL;DR This blog is dead. I have no plans on using it again or deleting it, instead letting it slowly decay from inactivity.

I planned on coming back to it at one point with lore and stuff but I realized that i just couldn't connect with Tony as a character anymore. He was an OC I made in like 9th grade or something and I'm 20 now.

So I guess this is a farewell, both to this blog and to Tony as a character. He can finally rest now. Thanks for the memories, and I hope to see you on the other side.

Mod S, signing out for the final time

Cramorant have evolved to be able to swallow their prey whole by sucking in large amounts of water. They use the force of the water being sucked in to help the swallowing process. They prey on Arrokuda.

It’s universally agreed by trainers and non-trainers alike that Dracozolt, Arctozolt, Dracoviosh, and Arctovish were not really Pokémon that roamed prehistoric Galar, and a warrant has been issued for Cara Liss’s arrest.

With the reward being fifteen billion Pokédollars.

How do Falinks groups (Troops? Barracks?) form? Are the individuals born together or do they come together over time? And how are the ranks chosen?

Falinks troops are generally siblings! However, they will sometimes ‘adopt’ a lost individual who was separated from their troop somehow. The ‘brass’ leader is simply the sibling with the largest horn; if two have horns of the same size, they normally will spar for dominance.

any zangoose facts ?

Zangoose sharpen their claws on anything they can find. This is usually rocks in the wild, but domesticated equivalents are like Purrloin or Glameow scratching poles.

Legends say that Zangoose and Seviper were once royal brothers. After they waged war on one another for sharing opposite beliefs, Arceus flew down from the heavens and cursed the two men to stop the war they had caused.

Hi, I have a question. My psychic type pokemon saw a bunch of Cofagrigus, in a hidden state, and didn't even react, despite it knowing they were ghost-types, and strong against it. Also, it just seems that no matter what, my psychic type will not be concerned playing with pokemon that are super-effective against it, even if they seem to be threatening it in their playing.

Chances are your partner's telekinetic abilities allowed it to understand that the Cofagrigus were not hostile. Don't worry, this is very common within Psychic types. Play fighting against types they are super effective against shouldn't be too big of a deal either unless the other Pokemon becomes fearful of them. If this happens, try explaining to your partner that showing aggression in play fights can be taken differently by others.

Yamper and other dog-like pokemon can experience "zoomies". Basically, just a spike in their energy levels which makes them super hyper. The reason I mention Yamper specifically is because its static electricity builds up during these bursts of energy and can give you a mild shock!

what do you think about the SwSh and gf controversy?

i… have a lot of conflicting feelings to say the very least. If what’s been data mined is true and what’s been shared online so far is true, i have a very heavy heart. Pokemon means the world to me and i want to be able to trust gf, so the possibility that they’ve been playing us all from the beginning makes me upset and i wish they would consider their fans with more care if this is the case (but we don’t know the full extent of the situation yet, so i am keeping an open mind).

There’s no way we’ll know the truth until the games come out and until game freak has a chance to speak up about the situation and explain things from their end.

i would also like to add that criticism and harassment are two very different things. respectful criticism is warranted when you’re disappointed but you love something and want it to improve (and pokemon fans are allowed to be disappointed. just because you’re a fan of something doesn’t mean you need to blindly agree with and accept everything without respectful criticism. i don’t like that people are intent on shutting down all criticism). Harassment, however, takes things to a very dark place. i don’t consider the people sending awful messages and threats true pokemon fans who want the best for the franchise… sadly, there will always be a rotten few who drag an entire group down in the mud. i also don’t agree with people telling others not to buy the game, that’s a personal choice.

all in all, i just want to play the games and see for myself. i want to see the galar region and hope for the best!

We did it everyone. We’ve made it to the future.

There’s now Pokemon vending machines and the store next to me has one.

What a day to be alive.

First part? Not really right. But the second one? I'd honest to arceus want to have one of these as a pet. Or twenty, if I could house them.

[mossdeepmedium]

Just something I thought was kinda cute

The oldest Pokémon I have in Pokémon Go is my Snorlax.

What’s your oldest Pokémon?

[princess-gothimu]

Its cool that my oldest one is a fossil, i think this was the first egg I hatched.

[mossdeepmedium]

The FIRST egg?? That’s crazy good luck! I only just hatched one in the last year

[kalosianbiologist]

Alright, in my defense I was never good at naming Pokemon.
