Training Ghost-Types is fun

The name's Silver. I've been a Ghost-Type Trainer for almost 8 years now. I started training them because I was a 14-year-old edgelord, but they stuck with me.

Evil Pokémon

Absol. Houndoom. Hydreigon. Grimmsnarl. Ceruledge. Dusknoir. Froslass. Gengar. Hypno. Malamar. Gyarados.

None of these Pokémon are inherently evil. A Pokémon is only as bad as its Trainer.

I've met and heard of several "evil" Pokémon who were anything but evil. One thing these Pokémon all have in common is that they were loved.

The Houndoom across the street loves to play with anyone he meets. The meanest thing he does is bark at anyone who knocks on the door or walks by, which is pretty normal for canine Pokémon.

Amethyst is wary of strangers, so she may come across as mean, but once she gets to know you, she'll retract her blades to their relaxed state.

Tanzanite is a prankster, so if you sit on a whoopee cushion and he laughs, it means he likes you.

I heard a news story about a lady and her Froslass. Her Froslass is a beautiful artist who loves making ice sculptures. She only freezes men who try to abuse her Trainer.

I read about an activist and their Hydreigon. Their Hydreigon is mainly there to intimidate fascists. She's said to be very friendly and loves chin scritches. Everyone knows her as queer Cerberus and her Trainer as queer Hades.

There was a Gyarados raised by a man and his wife in olden days who scared away pirates and was loved by locals.

There was a Hypno who worked with his Trainer to solve missing children cases and got an infamous child trafficker arrested.

There was a Grimmsnarl who cared for the Pokémon in the forest he lived in and defended the forest with his life. The forest is now legally protected, and his grave is supposedly protected by a Legendary Pokémon.

What sucks about the vaporeon copypasta is the fact that I - a biologist - know all of the ways that it’s just factually incorrect, but going into said inaccuracies would make me look more deranged than the person who originally wrote it, lol

The what?

Looked it up. Humanity is fucked.

I had a really rough morning and Topaz got me his favorite hat.

I love this little goober so much.

Be careful during fire season, even especially if you have a Pokémon with the Ability Flash Fire.

They can cause, well, flash fires.

They're immune to fire, but not to smoke.

Their flames are extra hot now!

me when i hug decimal a little to hard because i forgot she had poisonpoint

[life-as-a-ghost-type-trainer]

That's why my only Poison-Type is Gengar (also i mainly use ghost types but that's beyond the point)

Also what is that? It looks like a Sneasel but not really.

[bored-primeape]

That's a Hisuian Sneasel! It's Fighting/Poison!

[life-as-a-ghost-type-trainer]

Wait, really? That's cool!

Why are you in the fridge

It fucking hurts to get punched by a Hakamo-o.

Silver's Dreepy doesn't like me even though the rest of their Pokémon do.

[life-as-a-ghost-type-trainer]

Maybe if you weren't so loud all the time he'd warm up to you.

//btw reminder for anyone who needs it that even the big blogs are still just regular people behind the screen, and everyone enjoys it when people take an interest in their characters. anxiety is a liar and pretty much everyone will be delighted if you reach out to them.

[am-i-the-asshole-rotomblr]

are we the assholes for running for blueberry academy president as a group and not telling anyone?

Right so we’re six Ditto posing as one person on the internet because it’s funny. We take turns typing.

We live at bba and decided it would be REALLY funny to run for student council and campaign anonymously. So we signed up under the name “Tsumaranai Heikin” and made up a whole bunch of stuff about this random kid. We tried to be serious about it but it went off the rails really quick and now half the school hates us

notable: We lost. Also the poll was penis-shaped.

AWTA?

AITA?

With summer rolling around, remember that our Pokemon companions have to deal with the heat too! Not every pokemon can beat the heat, especially some ice types, so here are some tips and tricks to make sure you and your team get to enjoy the summer!

1. Never leave your partner alone in the car while it's turned off! Cars can be a hot and sweaty nightmare even with the windows down and the AC blasting! They're even worse when you're locked in with little airflow and no water! If you have to leave the car, take your pokemon with you in their pokeball!

2. Make sure you have some shade nearby, and use pokemon safe sunscreen when it applies/is possible! Not only does the sun contribute to the heat, but plenty of pokemon risk drying out or even getting burnt if left out in the sun for too long! This includes many grass types! While many do appreciate the sun, there is such things as too much for some species!

3. Water! Bring so much water! A lot of people think the little water they have on them is enough! It's probably not! You need a lot more than you think, especially on a hot summer day, and you need even more if you plan on bringing your pokemon with you! Many water and grass types especially need plenty of water to stay stress free! Bring a large reusable bottle with you for yourself, and I like bringing a second bottle for my team as well!

4. Be aware of their types, and do research on that specific species! The Alolan subspecies of ninetails can spend a good amount of time in the heat compared to some other ice types, but just barely as they still prefer the colder mountain peaks! Fire types can survive extreme heat, some even living in volcanoes, but some like Houndoom and Arcanine may still want to let out excess heat by spewing smoke and flames and should be allowed to do so to prevent them from getting uncomfortable! Figure out what strategies and schedules work for you and your team AHEAD of time, and don't be afraid to ball them if they seem to be struggling!

5. POKEBALLS! USE THEM! I have mentioned them a few times on this list but it needs to be said! While some pokemon may dislike their ball, and being cooped up for long periods of time can cause harmful effects, a few minutes to an hour in their pokeball to cool down if overheating or avoid having to deal with the heat in general is harmless and usually tends to be downright beneficial to many pokemon! Please do not risk your weavile getting heatstroke because it dislikes it's ball! A short amount of discomfort so you can safely bring it home is always worth it. I know some people may be worried about the heat breaking the pokeball, especially in hotter climates, but you don't have to worry! Unless the ball has some sort of defect or was badly made, most pokeballs are built to withstand extreme temperatures to keep up with the wide variety of pokemon and demanding journeys some trainers end up on! If you're still nervous, you can purchase specialty balls made by independent craftsmen and small businesses specifically built with a focus on dealing with extreme temperatures and preform a ball transfer.

Obviously there's probably plenty of things I forgot or couldn't include! If you have anything you'd like to share about helping our pokemon friends stay happy and healthy during the hotter months of the year, you're totally free to add to this post!
