The Gible Line

bills-pokedex:

Gible
The Land Shark Pokémon
Type: Dragon/Ground
Official Registration #: 443
Entry: A short, shark-like pokémon first discovered in the cave systems of Sinnoh. This pokémon burrows in horizontal tunnels embedded within cave walls. From there, it points its face outward and waits for prey to pass by its burrow opening. When something comes close, it launches itself out of its burrow to pounce on and bite the intruder. It’s important to note that this behavior does not stop when tamed; rather, trainers should fully expect to find their clothing gathered in a small, hole-like pile … as well as ample amounts of time spent with a gible attached to their arms shortly after discovering said pile.

Gabite
The Cave Pokémon
Type: Dragon/Ground
Official Registration #: 444
Entry: The evolved form of gible, by battle experience. Native to dark caves, gabite is attracted to anything that glitters or glows. In the wild, this means it actively hunts down and collects any shiny object it can get its claws on—including jewels, ores, and even trash from trainers—and hoards these in its underground nest. In captivity, this means it is possibly the most entertaining pokémon to introduce a laser pointer to.

Garchomp
The Mach Pokémon
Type: Dragon/Ground
Official Registration #: 445
Entry: The evolved form of gabite, by battle experience. The short fins on this pokémon’s arms are actually wings that allow it to fly at supersonic speeds to chase down prey. There is no punchline to this entry. The author just wanted to inform all of you that a 209-pound ground-type land shark with wings shorter than its actual claws can apparently fly and that this world is a wondrous place.

Mega Garchomp
The Mach Pokémon
Type: Dragon/Ground
Official Registration #: 445+
Entry: The advanced form of garchomp, via garchompite. Formerly, this mega evolution was known for its devastating temper and its twin scythes, the latter of which are capable of cleaving boulders in half with a single swipe and the former of which makes it believe cleaving boulders in half (among other things within its line of sight) is a fun and productive way to spend one’s time. Currently, however, this mega evolution is known for being “a weird sand doggo.”

Hello There!

fennelsunovablog:

It’s come to my attention that I didn’t exactly explain my blog’s purpose… Oups! Well, similarly to @bills-pokedex (sorry for the tag!), my blog is a type of roleplay blog where you can ask me any types of questions about how to care for your partner pokemon and I’ll do my best to answer questions! Of course, I may struggle a bit with pokemon from regions other than Unova, as I’ve been so absorbed in my studies these past few years, I have not had the time to travel much, but I can try anyway!

Oooor on the other hand, if you have ANY questions on the C-Gear or Dream Mist, I’ll gladly answer those questions as well! 

Thank you in advance and I’ll await your questions with great enthusiasm!

Bill. Give it to me straight… How accurate is the pokedex system? Is there someone just making these entries up, because I am about to throw my dex off a cliff with how ridiculous these things can get. (Not literally, but still) I prefer the Alola dexes entries, because at least those look like they have research backing it up.

That depends. In most regions, dex entries are vetted by a researcher before submission to the Pokémon Symposium.

In Alola, however, pokédexes are possessed by notoriously mischievous yet knowledgeable ghost-type pokémon, so it’s anyone’s guess, honestly.

The note on Chatot’s head doesn’t seem very stable, since it’s a thin part holding a much larger part on the top of the note. Should care be taken to bolster it or is it stronger than it looks? And why is it called a parrot if it doesn’t have zygodactyl feet? And are you happy to get a question that isn’t about one learning rude words?

In reverse order:

1. Gods, yes. Where are the rest of you finding your chatot/what are the rest of you teaching yours?!

2. To be fair, the pokédex classification system calls practically anything mice, including rats, pangolins, shrews, and most famously, vague rodent-lagomorph hybrids. The dex classification system relies more on what a pokémon vaguely looks like (or its most important traits), rather than accuracy … for science reasons.

3. It’s actually true that it’s stronger than it looks—and flexible at that. So really, the note can survive anything short of actually cutting it off, which means it’s one thing about a chatot you don’t have to worry about (besides occasional grooming to keep it free of debris). Your chatot’s vocabulary, meanwhile, is an entirely different matter.

Hi, now this isn’t meant to bug you guys but recently I’ve been experiencing problems with my asks dissappearing. And i mean alot. So I’m just wondering if my ask did make it through, it’s a 2 parter about my luxray sunlight. Again, this isn’t meant to stress you at all, I just want to make sure it came through. Have a wonderful day/night!

{We’ve got both parts! It’ll be some time before we can get to it, but rest assured it’s in. 🙂 Thank you!

(And here’s hoping that weird ask black hole resolves for you eventually! D:}

I recently caught a Drifloon. Since I have read it’s Pokédex entry, I am horrified of it being near kids. What is the best method in trading my Drifloon to alleviate this fear?

Trading or training? I get the sense that you want to keep your drifloon (as you mention overcoming your fear of it), but then again, you may be asking how best to rehome it in order to alleviate your fears in an entirely different way.

So allow me to answer both questions separately.

If you mean training, the key here is trust. Remember that the pokédex is largely a generalization; while it indeed describes the most common behaviors of a species (usually), species are often complex, with members who might not fit the “standard” description. It would be like assuming all humans act in a very particular way.

That having been said, it’s important to get to know your drifloon. The only way to do this, however, is through training: the more time you spend with a pokémon, the more you begin to understand its needs, interests, and personality. That and you’ll naturally begin to train yourself out of your fear of drifloon via exposure therapy. So my advice is simply keep training it and spend more time with it. Eventually, you’ll alleviate your fear naturally.

If you mean trading, you have two options. The first is giving your drifloon up to a shelter and allowing them to find a good trainer for it. The second is using a trading network like the GTS to find a trainer who specifically wants a drifloon. (Many type specialists use the GTS in this manner, so you may have a good chance of finding someone who already knows about drifloon’s quirks and is prepared to offer good care.) Either way, be sure to talk to your drifloon first and reassure it that the reason you need to rehome it isn’t because of something it did but rather because you can’t give it the care it needs. Such a talk will make the trade less traumatic for it.

Best of luck!

Hey there Bill. It’s me again, the person asking if I could make a similar blog to yours. I did it, and the url is @fennelsunovablog. I read what you reponded and really all I can say is thank you so much. I was so afraid to ask you something like that and your response honestly made me tear up I was so happy :)

{Hope you don’t mind if I publish this so others can follow too. 😉 Let me know if you’d rather I’d kept this private, and I’ll delete it.

That said, glad to help! Good luck with the blog! :D}
