🔮 - Favourite Pokémon type?
MUNDAY FUNDAY / accepting!!
[My favorite type since forever has been ELECTRIC!
It's a bit of a story (that's gonna date me a bit--whatever) but my first ever interaction with Pokemon period was opening a booster pack of Base Set trading cards when I was six. I was marveling at all the designs, and then I saw it. Base Set Electrode.
I don't really know why Electrode became my favorite Pokemon (and still is to this day...) I liked how it was an upside-down Pokeball. I liked how it wore a smirk on its smug orb face. I liked how fast it was in my Silver version, how it blew up in your face as a fake item, and how it was the first Pokemon mentioned in the PokeRap. So on and so on.
With Voltorb and Electrode being the faves, I started noticing how cool the other Electric types were too!! Steel-type Magnemite? Badass Electabuzz and adorable Elekid? Ampharos beaming up a whole lighthouse? Sign me up--I've been down with the thunder ever since!!
Just let me make two things clear: uneducated people without this backstory may think that I like Electric because of Pikachu, but that's not true--even though Pikachu is awesome--it's always been Electrode, don't get it twisted!! And yes, when they announced Hisuian Voltorb and gave us that super-cute short I was going crazy LMAO]
