Though we’re long since past that generation, when I told my wife you were ranking names, she insisted I tell you about Poo.

My wife names her Pokémon far more often than me, and when she caught an Abra in Brilliant Diamond, she wanted to name it Poof. The game rejected it, and I said “I think it’s because Poof is derogatory for gay people in British English”, but she said “I think it’s because of poo.” So she set the name as Poo.

And it allowed it

And she doesn’t rename her Pokémon.

So she has an Alakazam now named Poo

Sometimes in public she’ll look at me, a desperate look in her eyes, and say “I gotta Abra.”

I GOTTA ABRA

That's so funny, we love taking an opportunity and running with it

I'm very big on addressing the audience. Maybe that comes in first person form of "I know what you're thinking...", or as a third person narrator "I'm not just telling you all this because I can." Once, a character (first person present tense) was having a particularly emotional moment and he said to the audience "Can you give me a minute? Go read something else! Come on!" I'm also in the camp of, my characters tell me the story. I do not tell them what to do, they tell me what happened. So I'm always up to answer OC questions in character. Also this is for you: I had a hard time figuring out what my favorite piece of writing was, so I narrowed it down to two. The one above is original fiction. The following link is a piece of my fanfic.   https://spectraspecs-writes.tumblr.com/post/186497798199/revanasi-fic-2

So I haven’t used Snom but I distinctly remember the first one I caught. Usually in Shield I held camp in the Wild Area, just because anywhere else I could go to a Pokémon Center, but on the way to the endgame, I held camp in that snowy area. And after making curry or a play session I looked in the background and just. There’s a Snom. Snom-ing around, just hanging out with Gooner (Obstagoon.) At first I thought it was just part of the background, because I mentioned it to my wife and it wasn’t anything she’d seen before. When I closed up camp I got a message that Snom liked me and wanted to stay, wanted to be caught. I caught it and stuck it in a box, the fate of late-game Pokémon, but nobody I spoke to about it since had ever seen or heard of that game mechanic. God chose me, and did so in the form of a Snom.

That's such a cute story!! It's such a cute hidden mechanic, it's awesome that you got Snom'd in that way ^^

Also speaks a lot to how you treated your team, since the mechanic only has a chance of happening if you have high friendship with all your pokemon at the camp!

My favorite Pokémon of all time is Quagsire, so when they announced a Paldean Wooper and new evolution, I was dubious. Ready for a “look how they massacred my boy.” But as an early game Pokémon, Wooper was guaranteed at least a temporary spot on my team. And he evolves pretty early, so I met Clodsire. And oh boy did I fall in love. Just like his Johtonian brother he is just! So! Stupid! And a TANK with a great defense! I call him Quungus (pronounced Kwungis) and he’s the light of my life.

Quungus is an Excellent name, captures the exact vibe you were aiming for!! And full agree, both sires are peak

Is Eelectrik shiny? The middle evolution of the Tynamo line, I forget which one it is by name

It isn’t, but it was in the running!

Here’s the side by side, shiny on the right ^^
