It seems like all Pokemon are basically creatures, guys, or things.

Here the people will decide which are which.

Polls are posted in Pokedex order, with the exception of any requests

Request Rules:

1. Check to see if it has already been requested. If you search the name of the Pokemon on this blog, it should appear if it has already been requested. If you want, you can also check the results document linked below

2. No Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, or Unova requests. Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh have been completed and Unova is currently underway for pokedex-order polls

3. Only one request per ask. You are allowed to request as many pokemon as you like, but send them in seperate asks

4. If you request any non-standard poll (which would include requesting things that are not pokemon, or having options besides "creature, guy, thing") then that poll will be saved and posted on April 1st EDIT: Now that April 1st 2026 has passed, requests like this will either be saved for the end of all normal posting, or April 1st 2027, whichever comes first

5. Variants of Pokemon (mega, regional, etc) are allowed for requests as long as they have a different shape/design from the original Pokemon. (So shiny and dynamax Pokemon are not valid, for example)

"You've burdened yourself with the fate of this world, yet you still stand strong"

Silksong fan art. I reached this place on a sad sleepless night, and its atmosphere filled me with such a lonely and fatalistic feeling... it inspired me to draw something.

[villiedoom]

The first and only question...

It was interesting to find out that the Hollow Knight has thoughts that aren't used in the game. It inspired me to quickly sketch my interpretation.

It makes sense to start question things when you are ordered to kill your sibling… the one you left to die in the abyss who knows how long ago.

It is curious to think about it in this way, that what gave them the last bits of strength to resist the Radiance was actually their own doubt and the shadow of their own will. The will to... question and disobey.

(On a related note, it was fun if not confusing to find out that the most common and accepted interpretation of the Hollow Knight is so different from my own. I don't know how I feel about it… it makes me uncertain about sharing my version, but at the same time, it also inspires me to draw more just for the sake of it)

[RADIANCE]

Another Hollow Knight fan art, this time it's an epic sun moth! ~ ☀️

The idea of ​​"children of darkness against the sun god" has a personal meaning to me, so seeing it (I watched my mate play the game) brought me some special kind of delight. Of course I had to draw it, also because the Radiance has a nice symmetrical design that was interesting to interpret in my style. The moment when we saw her for the very first time was so cool :D

👑Queenie is also a Mantis, but the species that got colorful wings!~ 🍃Ribbit is a leafhopper 🤡 Kaufmo is a Eucalyptus Tip Bug, aka Clown Bug

[pangur-and-grim]

it is my experience that people with dermal implants and eyeball tattoos and 34 visible piercings are the sweetest people you'll ever meet and will cry if they see a pigeon with a broken wing. it is also my experience that clean-cut people in polo shirts with perfect smiles will vote against your rights and say the most disgusting things imaginable once they think you're out of earshot.

Our Pure Vessel and their guardians (Void-siblings)

My piece for @palesiblingszine !

Check this zine, it's amazing!

[greentrickster]

"The Pale King made a super functional economy" this, "the Pale King created a decent society" that, listen, you want impressive, the Pale King made a highly functional public transport system that still runs in the modern day.

Think about that for half a minute!

[kendrixtermina]

he may have promised a bit more than he could deliver with the eternity thing, but dear god he tried

[greentrickster]

Indeed! Heck, even Hallownest itself is still standing! Not standing as in ancient ruins or musty old houses, standing as in, 'it has been raining the whole time, it's full of zombies, it's being actively looted by anyone crazy enough to try and inhabit it, and all the elevators still work.'

Listen, the people may not have lasted, but in terms of architecture, machinery, the sewage system, and public transport, the city itself seems to be making a pretty danged good stab at it!

And he didn't even need a perpetually renewed underclass of horrifingly brainwashed and oppressed workers to do it.

[abx5-fandom-repertuare]

The waterways are robust enough that after the bug equivalent of centuries with no maintenance and actively being infected by flukes it never even bothered the adjacent ecosystems, unlike other sewer systems I can think of

[kendrixtermina]

The trash disposal of the respective capitals (& who guards them) really tells you everything you need to know about the difference between those two

Grand Mother Silk: "Why would I care about such petty matters?"

The Pale King: "Wonderful. An opportunity to design another Public Works project."

Phantom

[x-abysmal-x]

I made this at like 3 am idk man

Radiant Knight, essentially Radiance took over the Hollow Knight's body and broke out of the Black Egg, though mostly still sealed in the vessel. She ends up going about her vengeance via puppeteering Hollow. Hollow doesn't like that, fights her at every chance. This lil comic page is a part of the story that's been living rent free in my head for the past four months.
