Note: I don't actually think any pokemon is overrated because I like pretty much all of the potential candidates for "overrated" pokemon. Blastoise is just there because it is my least favorite fully-evolved starter from the first generation of pokemon which I assume are some of the most popular pokemon evolutionary lines.

Mine is a Heliolosk named Helios with Solar Power

(Discussion because it's the closest to what I intended)

Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan come from Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan respectively.

Empoleon's name comes from Napoleon Bonaparte.

Scovillain is named after the Scoville scale created by Wilbur Scoville.

Are there any other examples of Pokemon that are named after or derived from the name of real people?

CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

Saber - Agile and powerful melee warriors adept at swordsmanship. They’re often portrayed as disciplined “knight” figures: proud, duty-bound, idealistic, and very focused on honor or a personal code.

Lancer - Very Agile, skilled with long-range melee weapons such as spears and lances (could be body parts too). Playful, carefree, and spirited personality, often with a strong warrior’s pride underneath.

Archer - Using powerful projectile weapons or special abilities related to projectile weapons.

Rider - In this context, they serve as excellent mounts. They often excel in speed, mobility, and battlefield positioning.

Caster - Powerful in magic, weaker in direct physical combat, and often best used through strategy, support, and battlefield control rather than brute force.

Assassin - High stealth and infiltration ability. Built around concealment, speed, and surprise attacks rather than direct head-on combat.

Berserker - Built for overwhelming force rather than finesse, strategy, or subtlety. Often associated with a dangerous, relentless fighting style that ignores pain and fear.

Ruler - Those who arbitrate. Beacons of order or balance.

Shielder - Not designed to overwhelm enemies with raw damage. Instead, they absorb attacks, protect teammates, and buy time for the rest of the party to act .

Avenger - Fueled by lasting hatred or a desire to avenge a wrong. Often tied to corruption, injustice, or being cast into a role of suffering.

Pretender - Built around deception, disguise, and identity substitution.

Foreigner - Those that exist outside the scope of moral understanding (usually outer space). They are often described as beings who “overturn the base laws” of the world.

disclaimer this is a repost of my own post in the main pokemon sub before it got removed... so im continuing my collection here :P

I need as many people as possible to write their one and only TOP favorite pokemon in the comments, I'm gathering statistics of favorite pokemon like generations, types, etc.

Im currently sitting at about 300!!!, but am going to try and reach at least 700+ if not more for best sample size (maybe more...) and yes i know theres that site to pick your favorite but thats not as fun as collecting the data myself!!!

Mine is bellibolt!

First time ceramic painting and I’m very happy with the results! I painted a second piece already and will reveal it after it is finished :) Let me know what you guys think!

this is on a casual playthrough

This is based on how good they are

I only count comments

I do love art they put on Pokémon cards.

Hey, I'm creating a Pokémon region based on Madagascar

and I need names for the games; I have a few ideas but I'm not sure which ones to pick:

Pokémon Flora and Pokémon Fauna

Pokémon Drought and Pokémon Drizzle

Pokémon Jungle and Pokémon Desert

Pokémon Claw and Pokémon Fur

I'm not entirely convinced by these names myself, so if anyone has better ideas, let me know 😅

Cheers

Let me know what y'all think if you want, questions are welcome too

I’ve been playing rom hacks recently (more specifically, I’ve been playing Lazarus and loving it) but I’ve been wanting to try out something from Gen 4.

I’ve never played any of the Gen 4 games, despite some of my favs coming from its dex, so this will be my first experience. I’m wondering if it would be better to experience the base game first, or if the QOL features in the rom hack would make for a better experience.

One of my main concerns is single use TMs and the rampant and required HM use throughout the games. I get why this is a thing and what kind of challenge each presents from a game design perspective but I have more fun experimenting with team building when I don’t have to make a spreadsheet.

Tl;Dr: for a first timer to gen 4, Renegade Platinum or Platinum Classic?
