The Lost World: Jurassic Park Pokemon Teams
The events of the Pokemon World's The Lost World: Jurassic Park are similar to both the novel and movie but with key differences.
If you saw my last Pokemon Team post, then you should have seen that John Hammond dies from his Mega Aerodactyl attacking him. So if this combines both movie and novel, then it should have the beginning like the novel, right? Wrong. John Hammond is still alive, just severely injured like Ian. This is a nod to how Ian in Jurassic Park's novel died with the island and somehow came back. Is this shitty writing? Yes. Am I still going with it? Yes.
InGen is still the antagonist of this movie.
Dinosaurs are not captured by pokeball as there is an inhibitor field covering the area preventing regular pokeballs from working.
John Hammond
Both of John's pokemon from the previous movie perished. The miniature copperajah died from his Mega Aerodactyl, and the Mega Aerodactyl was killed by Tyrantrum.
Tim Murphy
While Tim and Lex do only appear for a brief second, I'm still bringing them along with their pokemon.
Lex Murphy
Same reasoning as Tim.
Dr. Ian Malcolm
Ian's team doesn't change much, just a few new additions and a few replacing the ones. If you want to see why certain pokemon are added, check the previous post.
Marowak- After the first movie, Ian seems very much hardened by his trauma after Jurassic Park. Marowak's seriousness after evolving from Cubone is meant to reflect this.
Gallade- Another pokemon with precognitive abilities, Gallade replaces Gothitelle as Gothitelle died in the previous story from the Tyrantrum that attacked Malcolm. Ian getting a Gallade also reflects the more protective role he has gained in this story
Dr. Sarah Harding
A paleontologist and a pokemon behaviorist in this universe, Dr. Harding's team consists of mainly pokemon that have some relation to paleonotology or some part of Sarah's character and history. Because she is a pokemon behaviorist, she has a full team of pokemon.
Machoke- According the novel, Sarah has a very masculine physique. Machoke is a reference to this.
Pyroar- According to both the movie and novel, Sarah spent time in Africa where she encountered lions. Pyroar is a reflection of that.
Kabutops- According to the lore, Kabuto can still be found in the wild. Sarah Harding
Mamoswine- Through the use of ancient power, Piloswine evolves into Mamoswine.
Tangrowth- Through the use of ancient power, Tangela evolves into Tangrowth
Yanmega- Through the use of ancient power, Yanma evolves into Yanmega.
Eddie Carr
The field equipment expert in hammond's team, Eddie's pokemon team is meant to reflect the various tools and equipment he helped create throughout the movie. Most of his pokemon die in their pokeballs however with the except of a few.
Toxapex- This is the reference to the gun that Eddie holds in the movie. I say holds instead of uses as he never uses it.
Ferrothorn- A reflection of the high-hide Eddie invented. Ferrothorn was with Kelly when he died.
Charjabug- All of the vehicles that the research team takes to Isla Sorna are electric. Charjabug is meant to reflect that.
Klinklang- Eddie is a mechanic.
Nick Van Owen
A photographer who has been in many combat situations as well as an environmentalist.
Scizor- A reference to the bolt cutters Nick and Dr. Harding used to free the captured dinosaurs
Popplio- Starter pokemon that can learn acrobatics
Trubbish- Kelly has a track record of being very messy, so a Trubbish was made because of her.
Peter Ludlow
the main antagonist of the movie version, Ludlow is the nephew of John Hammond.
Donphan- To reflect his relation with John Hammond, Ludlow has a Donphan to contrast with John's deceased mini Copperajah
Roland Tembo
Like with Robert Muldoon, Roland Tembo has a full team of pokemon as he is a trained professional big game hunter. With the only exception being his Intelleon, his pokemon are caught in the Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn's Safari Zones, and Sinnoh's Great Marsh. Another thing to note is that all of the members on his team are strictly male. This is because of him wanting the buck T. rex, and I assume the same goes with the rest of his captures. He only has one position left for the tyrantrum.
Intelleon- Roland uses a select range of tools and weapons to hunt dinosaurs in The Lost World. But he primarily uses his shot gun to try and kill the Tyrannosaurus
Dieter Stark
If you don't remember this guy, I don't blame you. He was the guy who got attacked by the compies.
Electabuzz- in the scene where Dieter is shown with one compy, he shocks it. Electabuzz is known for being aggressive. It fits.
Dr. Robert Burke
The paleontologist that was hired by Peter Ludlow. I didn't want to give him a competent team as he wasn't the smartest guy around.
Slowpoke- Because Dr. Burke is behind on paleontological information, he has a slowpoke that can learn dig to reflect that. It also gives him a valid reason to be afraid of a non-venomous snake pokemon like Snivy.
