is it true theres a toy line based off of combining mechas that have designes inspired by the Alolan Tapus and their folklore?

It’s true that there are several toy lines based on this. The concept of pokémon commanding giant guardians is a very popular subject, especially within the sentai genre.

(Of course, not all of them are based on the tapus. There are also several based on fossil pokémon or aegislash, both of which tend to be a little more popular than the tapu imagery. Then there was that one series wherein the robots were actually based on pyroar—that seems really popular at the moment. And finally, there’s Neon Origins Arceuseon, whose robots were based on mr. mime.)

Hi! I found what appears to be a type of fossil I don’t recognise. It looks like a almost human like skull, but with a third eye socket in its forehead. I tried to search the web for it, but had no luck. Who or where can I take this to in order to have it identified?

Interesting. While I’m tempted to say me (as I’m a bit of an expert in extinct pokémon, among other things, and yes, I have an analyzer), it would likely be more professional for me to say take it to your regional fossil expert. You’ll likely need to do research to figure out who this would be and where you might find them. Usually, you’ll have the best luck if you look into who offers fossil restoration services, although in some regions, this might be difficult. Hoenn’s fossil expert is a scientist with Devon Co, for example, and thus, he’s not exactly at liberty to work outside of Devon’s labs for security reasons unless you happen to be Ruby or Sapphire. Alola’s fossil expert, meanwhile … literally lives in a trailer somewhere in the vicinity of Lush Jungle, and thus he’s a bit difficult to find in the first place.

Most of the others are associated with museums or laboratories that are a little more open to the public than Devon, so it should be easier to find someone who can help you.

Best of luck!

(As a final note, if you get this fossil restored, would you mind sending images? I’m quite interested in learning more about what this might be!)

i’ve recently had a charmander enter into my family- my charizard had kids!! while a great pokemon, he has trouble controlling his flame. do you have any advice on how to help him? i got charizard fully evolved, i’ve never dealt with this before. send help before either me or venusaur catches on fire. signed, Not Fireproof

Given the number of people intending on raising fire-types from birth, fireproof furniture coverings are actually a lot less expensive than you might think.

On a serious note, with all fire-type hatchlings, it’s imperative that you rely on their fire-type parent or other experienced fire user to help you. The problem is that while we can train our pokémon to understand and use their element as best as we can, we’re still only human with (presumably) no actual, inherent ability to control flame. It would be like if a slowpoke tried to teach another slowpoke how to talk; we just don’t have that nearly instinctive understanding of the elements or how to control them.

However, pokémon do. While it’s true (and quite obvious, as you’ve noticed) that not all of them are born with complete control over their elements, they eventually gain that understanding as they grow and unlock their full abilities and powers. Thus, a pokémon who’s managed to reach their final evolution (or who is at least several years older than a hatchling) would logically understand their element better than any human ever can. Or in other words, you and your charmander might not know how to control fire, but your charizard certainly does.

Explain the situation to your charizard (yes, it will understand) and set up a specific time to have it train your charmander every day. Given the immediacy of the situation and the danger fire presents, I would actually recommend setting up a training session that goes for as long as your charmander can handle—that is, at least and absolutely not less than one hour a day. As your charmander gains better mastery over fire, you can reduce this training time down to the standard hour-per-day most pokémon train for, if either your charmander or your charizard wish. Also, ensure these sessions happen in an open area with very little brush or other plant life that could catch on fire. Empty parking lots might be a good idea if you can’t reserve a battlefield at your local pokémon center. Bring with you fireproof targets (cinderblocks, bricks, or rocks will do, and keep in mind you can request such targets if you’re working at a pokémon center), and once the training grounds are set up, step back and let your charizard take it from there.

Best of luck, and congratulations on the new addition to your family!

hi Bill! I looked through previous answers about Eevee, but saw nothing that spoke of how to know what kind of signs they might show for their preference in evolution. Is there such a thing as Eevee who like warm weather would rather evolve into Flareon or Eevee who like swimming evolve into Vaporeon more often, or is all of that just a myth? And what are the signs for a Sylveon preference, if there is such a thing?

Absolutely, there is such a thing. These are often the first signs of interest in a particular evolution. Usually, these signs will evolve (forgive the pun) into more overt signs, such as an eevee fascinated by fire, one delighted by thunderstorms, one who won’t get out of the water once it gets in, one who’s more nocturnal than usual, and so on. Also watch out for signs of excitement at the sight of the eevee’s chosen evolution or attempts to use moves of a particular type. A strong preference for using moves of a specific element is usually an indication of a particularly strong preference for a specific evolution.

Regarding sylveon, the signs are very similar (an eevee with a preference for fairy-type moves, sylveon, or pink/soft/lace-covered objects will likely want to evolve into a sylveon), but it’s also about personality as well. An eevee that hopes to be a sylveon will show more affection to its trainer and often responds more enthusiastically to treats, even more so than eevee intending on becoming espeon or umbreon. Unusually strong protectiveness is also a pretty good sign.

Reblog if you are a pokeblog in the Pokemon ask blog community

My account was deleted due to the EU law and I lost the infinite amount of pokeblogs I was followed too. Just want to get back into tumblr, maybe fixing my dash first is the best thing to do. Accepting new blogs too!

PLEASE DONT REBLOG NSFW BLOGS

Bill you should take lanette out for lunch

Oh, I do.

Platonically.

Whenever he feels guilty about doing something incredibly dangerous. —LH

That’s not true! Sometimes I only pretend I’m guilty, but actually, I just want to discuss our research. —Bill

And by research, you mean our shared interests, how we’re doing, and anything else besides our actual jobs? —LH

…sociological research. —Bill

I’d figure that the geographic distance would make relationships a bit harder.

You’d be surprised, anonymous. Many of us already dislike face-to-face interactions, so instead, if it happens, relationships such as those are done mostly online. And believe me when I say they’re not that much better or less dramatic than face-to-face breakups. Not at all.

I see you’re ignoring the code. —LH

i certainly am —Bill

Come on, Bill. It’s a compliment. 🙂 —LH
