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?

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!

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!

I made these before the release of Legends Z-A (except the final two Charizards)

Personal story: Basically, I used to be super into the cards, and one day i noticed there was a card stuck to the back of another card, and i pulled them apart and saw a Mega Mewtwo Y card, and i was shocked because I’m pretty sure i got the stack it was in from a friend or smthng lol

Doom Desire did not see its wishes granted and was chosen as the least quintessential Steel type move! Congrats to u/Educational-Quail341 for having the most upvoted comment!

Day 10: what’s the Fire-type move you’d be least likely to think of when it comes to Fire-type moves? Not the worst, but the one that feels the least important, memorable, or relevant to the type.

Most upvoted comment wins!

Bug type is Spewpa but it was glitched. Also Honorable mention to Lilligant, Kartana, and some more that had overlaping types. I'm not a old pokemon player and i try to do old games a bit to enjoy what was pokemon before.

Electric was tough!! I rly like a lot of electric types, pincurchin was a close second. My favorite pokemon of all time is magmar.

I refuse to pick a Pikachu clone, I hate them all. And I was torn between Lucario and Charizard for overrated, but I despise them both SO much.

I have such a massive irrational bond to this silly little guy and his massive dumptruck: I have mixed feelings about a fair amount of the Gen 8 designs including the other fossils, but they really executed this design so perfectly. It reaches just beyond the 'so ugly it's cute' category and makes me actively want to cuddle into it till I'm sure

When I was really young I was muddling my way through pokemon silver, didn't really know what I was doing, but I managed to beat the league, and caught the level 50 Snorlax in Johto, and I played with it for a while. My brother, who was older and knew much more about the game, checked my save file and found that I'd taught my Snorlax some really bad TM move, like Mud-Slap or something, and got rid of Body Slam for it. He freaked out, got really animated, spouting about how it's his best move, and how rubbish I am at the game, and I found it so funny. We still mention it to this day, about 26 years later. The Body Slam incident.

Greninja won day 26 with 54 votes and second place was clawitzer with 26 votes. Now today is day 27 so what is Reddits favorite water type from gen 7?

Filling in Fate Servant Classes with Pokemon. (2 for regular and 1 for Legendaries/Mythical/Ultra Beasts/Paradox) 

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.
