Pokemon!

[Seilahyn]

I'm mostly oo'ing and aw'ing at things that I want. My collection is rather small unless I break out the old toys that are packed away. I have a few plush sitting around my desk and a couple figures. You could always start, Slapper! Join us! Join us.. join us.. join us.. join us....

[Falcon]

I have a VERY small collection of older Charizard merch, including cards, but I don't feel that it's worth showing off, at least not till I'm able to get the two Mega Charizard figures. And that chess piece is amazing, oh my god. I really wish there was one for sale somewhere, but I'm broke until my disability comes in Wednesday. ._. *slinks back into her cave*

[Snowy]

Speaking of the Charizard Y plush, they have it on the US Pokemon Center site. No X though. I'd like both but part of me wants X first.

I'm in the UK though and they haven't opened up outside of the US yet. ;-; I look on that site all the time and just die inside.

[Snowy]

I just bought a reeeeally awesome thing.

Falconcrest is gunna love it when it turns up at her house.

[Seilahyn]

Can't wait to see what it is! =3

[Silivren]

So I figured out my legit favorite Pokemon is Pumpkaboo/Gourgeist. I must have a shiny. It's purple. ;_;... Sucks for me though because the only Pumpkaboo stuffed animal is like 50 bucks... On every site. Ah well I found a set of those Pokemon chess figures that I may buy Thursday. This one has Banette! My other favorite Pokemon. ^.^

[Jurz]

SHOW US! O.O I LOVE the Musketeer Pokemon, specifically Virizion and Keldeo and I would be super jealous of whatever merch you have!

Sorry it took so long.. But... I finally got pictures of my collection of my favourite dorky Legends! C:

I'm only gonna post one picture of the entire collection here, but I have two posts with close-ups of everything on my tumblr. (Here and here.)

...where did you get the large Keldeo...I MUST HAS ONE! also is it just me or are coballions feet funny looking? Icant stand them. Other then him i dont mind the trio. Theyre not my fav but i dont hate them either. I find them to be rather cool. Its just...coballion...

[Snowy]

So off-topic but I thought I'd shove this here in case anyone else wants to join in with me/have a look. :3

I've been meaning to do this for a while but I FINALLY decided on my teams for each Gen. And I have a few extra little rules for myself too...

Rules:
1. Must have one shiny per team.
2. Must have one Pokemon to use as a Mega per team.
3. Must use a starter Pokemon in each team.

---

Gen 1 Team


Charizard (Mega): Charizard has always been a huge favourite of mine and with the recent addition of the Y form I fell in love all over again.
Raichu: Always loved Pikachu, always loved Raichu too.
Ninetales (Shiny): Again, another favourite, always has been and Vulpix/Ninetales was my first ever shiny.
Persian: Never a *huge* favourite of mine but I have a thing for cat Pokemon and I love how classy Persian happens to be.
Arcanine: I pretty much always had one in my team, plus I love the concept that Arcanine was once going to be Legendary Pokemon.
Eevee: I love all Eeveelutions but from this Gen, Eevee herself was my favourite. :3

Gen 2 Team


Meganium: The only Gen where I love all the starters. I used to be Typhlosion as a kid but these days I have a preference for Meganium.
Espeon: I felt obligated really to include an Eeveelution and Espeon is by far my favourite out of Espeon and Umbreon. Before Sylveon, Espeon was winning as favourite Eeveelution.
Sneasel (Shiny): I have always had a soft spot for Sneasel, especially it's shiny form. I love pink. x'D
Houndoom (Mega): As everyone knows, Houndoom is awesome!
Suicune: My one and only Legendary that gets a place on any of my Gen teams because of my massive preference for it. I adore Suicune.
Tyranitar: I've only recently started warming up to Tyranitar, previously I was not 'supposed' to like him due to my best friend's Tyranitar's rivalry towards my Charizard. xD

Gen 3 Team


Sceptile: I *always* picked Sceptile. Always. xD
Mightyena (Shiny): Same reasoning as Sneasel, always had a soft spot for this one, especially in shiny form.
Delcatty: Once again, I just have a huge bias towards cat Pokemon. They're the best. :3
Manectric: This team is very cat/dog based, huh? There was plenty of them in this Gen and Manectric to me just looks so badass. Electric dog? Yes plz.
Zangoose: I remember liking this Pokemon a lot as a child and never really could figure out why. It's still the same to me now.
Absol (Mega): Always liked Absol, ADORED it when I saw it's Mega form!

Gen 4 Team


Torterra: I always struggled with this Gen for it's starters, originally I liked none of them, but Torterra warmed up to me eventually.
Luxray: <insert comment about cat Pokemon here>
Floatzel: I loveloveLOVE Floatzel, definitely an all time favourite Pokemon for me.
Purugly (Shiny): <insert yet again another comment about cat Pokemon here> Also Purugly reminds me of my British Shorthair, Ruby. xD
Lucario (Mega): Thanks to Falcon, I went from not really giving a damn about Lucario to absolutely adoring it.
Leafeon: Once again I feel obligated to use an Eeveelution and Leafeon always wins this Gen. :3

Gen 5 Team


Samurott: Originally I went with Snivy before knowing what any of them evolved into. I still like Serperior but when I saw Samurott, I regretted not picking up an Oshawott.
Liepard: Once again... cat Pokemon, except Liepard is one of my favourites. I love leopards. :3
Audino (Mega): I always did like Audino but never enough to have one on my team... until I saw it's recent Mega form, that is.
Archeops: The first and only (until Tyrantrum came along xD) fossil Pokemon I've picked. I love this derpy dinosaur bird. :3
Sawsbuck (Winter Form): I... don't actually know if I can have the Winter form in X. I hope I can because I love it a lot. >:
Hydreigon (Shiny): Thanks to Falcon I've achieved my dream of having a shiny Hydreigon! :3

Gen 6 Team (Obviously no Mega for this Gen)


Braixen: Love Fennekin, love Braixen, meh about Delphox. It just really didn't click for me so I kept my Fennekin as a Braixen.
Pyroar (Female): Because for the millionth time, CATS.
Meowstic (Male): ... cats. Seriously though, Espurr is hard to ignore. I had to pick one up.
Tyrantrum: I've always been a big fan of dinosaurs, at my school I was known as 'the dinosaur girl'. So this to me was just THE BEST THING EVER.
Sylveon (Shiny): Doubt I need to explain my love of Sylveon to anyone, but it is by far my favourite Pokemon. ♥
Noivern: Because as Falcon said, bats + wyverns = OH YES PLEASE.

(All teams past here can ignore the one shiny/one Mega/starter rule, some for obvious reasons.)

All Legends Team


Entei: The Legendary Beasts are my favourite trio and favourite Legendaries of all time, Entei only JUST coming into second place behind Suicune.
Suicune: Already explained this one. My all time favourite Legendary. I fell awful for leaving Raikou out but I wanted room for other favourite Legendaries of mine.
Shaymin (Sky Forme): Shaymin is so cute oh my goodness! And it's Skye Forme kicks major butt.
Virizion (Shiny): A dream shiny of mine, Virizion is my favourite of the Swords of Justice.
Reshiram: Far too elegant and beautiful for me not to love, Reshiram really made me regret picking up a copy of White instead of Black!
Keldeo (Resolute Form): Okay I'm not going to lie, I love My Little Pony, and Keldeo reminds me of a pony. xD I've always liked Keldeo though and his movie is one of my favourites!

Cat Pokemon Team (One from each Gen)


Persian: Persian is a big favourite cat Pokemon of mine, I especially loved the one in the anime that Giovanni has.
Espeon: While probably not classified as an actual cat Pokemon, no one can deny it looks and acts like one. Espeon was once my favourite Pokemon so she deserves a spot here.
Delcatty: I remember Skitty being SO HARD to find for some reason in Ruby. I always spent ages looking for one because I had to have one on my team!
Purugly (Shiny): Toss up between Luxray and Purugly but Purugly wins, she reminds me of my British Blue cat!
Liepard: Probably my favourite cat Pokemon of all, I adore Liepard's grace and elegance and, since my fursona is a snow leopard, I've always loved leopards. :3
Pyroar (Female): I loved the female Pyroar when I saw her, she reminds me of one of the female lions from the Lion King.

[Falcon]

Snowy, what did you do? XD I'm gonna have to change my sleep schedule to watch for the mail now, because as of late, I've been a total night owl. And oh my god, I remember those little card things! I used to have one of my Gen IV team! o___o I'm not sure if I'll do this or not, at least not yet, because it will be very hard for me to limit myself to just one shiny for each generation. *cough*

I spy Fae, Tyra, and Ghidorah! And if Mega Tyrantrum ever happens, I will be throwing that mega stone at Godzilla SO FAST. And I really hope Lopunny's mega stone will be obtainable pre-Elite Four, if not, I'll be so sad. D: I NEED my fashionable battle-rabbit of DOOM. And please ignore the shrinking text, this is a product of when Falcon goes a night without sleep.

[Snowy]

Noooo don't worry about that Falcon, I'm getting it sent to my house and then I'll send it alongside everything else I'm sending you. :3

Yep that's all three of them. It was hard to pick between Atramedes and Tyra buuuuut I decided I'll end up having another Charizard Y, a regular one, anyway. xD Ghidorah still needs to be leveled too. D: I'll probably do that when I make the actual team itself. AND MEGA TYRANTRUM WOULD BE AWESOME. I'm hugely fond of Mega Audino though which is why I picked her. :3

[Falcon]

<--- Me dying of curiosity!
(I know, bad me, this is the Pokemon thread. Uh, pretend that's an Eevee!)

And it'll depend on if everything will be able to fit in our mailbox or not. XD But, still, if I know something's coming in the mail, I always change my sleep schedule to keep from missing it.

How're you gonna get another Y stone? I'm sure Ghidorah won't mind being a Deino for a little while longer, and it would be, just as long as the design isn't dumb or anything. Isn't Audino the only Gen 5 mega as of right now? I'm personally holding out for a Mega Mienshao myself.

And Jurz, I'm pretty sure the Musketeers' feet are supposed to look like boots? Which is why Cobalion's are the way they are. (Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, Senna.)

[Jurz]

*gasps* that makes so much sense falcon! I never looked at them as boots! I still think he looks rather silly but at least it makes sense now my favorite minor legend trio will always be the johto beasts. I also really like the therian formes. Seeing coballions feet as boots now has made me appreciate that trio even more though. That and without them there'd be no keldeo and I LOVE keldeo!

How sweet of you snowy and that idea you got there is rather nifty!

[Snowy]

How sweet of you snowy and that idea you got there is rather nifty!

I owed her something. <3 I'd take pictures of the stuff I'm getting her if it wasn't supposed to be a surprise!

As for the team thing, it's something I've wanted to do for ages. Whenever I play a new Gen game I always have to have Pokemon from that Gen.

[Seilahyn]

I did it! It was hard for some.. but I did it.

Gen 1 - Pretty easy for me. I'm an old school Pokefan, so I knew who I was going to pick right away.

Mega - Charizard
Shiny - Ninetales
Arcanine
Vaporeon
Dragonair
Flareon


Gen 2 - Two legendaries.. but Lugia was a toss up between him and Feraligatr.

Mega - Houndoom
Shiny - Umbreon
Typhlosion
Sneasel
Suicune (Favorite Legendary EVER)
Lugia


Gen 3 - Was harder to fill this one in. Not many I liked.

Mega - Absol
Shiny - None, did not like any shinies from this gen. Milotic would be the only one I'd possibly go shiny with.
Sceptile
Mightyena
Milotic
Salamence
Delcatty (Needed one last one to fill the card).


Gen 4 - Had trouble filling this one, too...

Mega - Lucario
Shiny - Glaceon
Emp-somethingpenguin
Luxray
Weaville
Purrugly (To fill, again.)


Gen 5 - Really not a lot I like from this gen.

Mega - None
Shiny - None (Maybe would consider Zoroark).
Samurott
Liepard
Zoroark
Reshiram
Hydreigon
Carracosta


Gen 6 - Easy.

Mega - None
Shiny - Tyrantrum, Sylveon
Delphox
Pyroar M
Pyroar F
Noivern <3


I tried to go with one of the starters for each like Snowy did, but for a few gens I would swap out the starter for something else.

Edit:
Just compared and noticed we share a lot of Pokemon, Snowy. Funny how that is when there are 700+ Pokemon and out of 36, we picked a lot of the same.

[Falcon]

Hence they jumping fox gif, Jurz. I'm dying of curiosity over here, but I'm being good and waiting. My favorite trio will always be the Birds, but I also really like a few others. But I still feel outnumbered with all the love the Beasts get. XD

Took me a bit (and a TON of editing), but I got the thing done!

Gen I (I just now noticed this, but the pose of the sprite I picked. It looks like she's sneaking that Charizard treats! XD XD XD)

Starter AND Shiny: My boy, Vesuvius!
Mega: Gengar (I honestly prefer the shiny form of Mega Gengar by a mile, but that spot is already taken by Vesuvius.)
Legendary: My girl, Articuno.
Ninetales
Venomoth
Scyther

Gen II (That should be the female Psychic sprite, but I can't tell. >_<)

Starter: Feraligatr all the way!
Shiny: Houndoom (My boy, Crowley!)
Mega: Tyranitar (I would've put Gojira, my shiny, here, but I somehow managed to limit myself to just one shiny per gen.)
Legendary: None this time.
Crobat
Umbreon
Donphan

Gen III (Hard for me because this is my least favorite gen. Hopefully ORAS will change that.)

Starter: Sceptile, though I honestly prefer Grovyle, but Sceptile is gaining favor with me.
Shiny AND Mega: Matrix, my soon-to-be shiny Metagross!
Legendary: None this time.
Gardevoir
Flygon
Altaria
Milotic

Gen IV

Starter:Torterra, but this was hard because I also love Infernape.
Shiny: Honchkrow, my girl Murasaki!
Mega: Lucario, my girl Shan!
Legendary: None this time.
Luxray
Gastrodon (Eastern)
Gliscor

Gen V (Yeah, Gen IV sprite, but I couldn't find anyone else with long, black hair. Shh! >_<)

Starter: Serperior
Shiny: Volcarona, even though I don't have one. Yet.
Mega:None. The only Gen V Mega I know of is Audino, and while I'm not a fan, but it is kinda cute.
Legendary: None since this is my 'after-story' team (except my Volcarona isn't shiny). Otherwise, Reshi would be in here. ♥
Gothitelle
Galvantula
Mienshao
Hydreigon

Gen VI (Yeah, my fourth and sixth gen trainers are the same person in my dumb headcanon, and had this been a mix-gen team, she'd so have her Lucario with her.)

Starter: This. Was. HARD. But Delphox wins by a tiny margin.
Shiny: Tyrantrum, my boy Godzilla! ♥
Mega: Again, none, but I'm holding out for Mega Tyrantrum.
Legendary: YVELTAL! ♥
Aegislash (Though I prefer the shiny form.)
Dragalge
Noivern! ♥

[Chimera]

I got my River pattern Vivillooooooooooooooon! Timid, Alert to Sounds, Female, named River Sea! She cost me 30k treasure on Flight Rising and has the wrong ability BUT I HAVE HER (thank god for ability capsules, need to get one so I can switch her Shield Guard to Compound Eyes)

[Snowy]

Looks like I started a thing... again. Also I am super surprised you don't have Reshiram in your Gen 5 team Falcon. :O I also noticed you did the same thing as me though and tried to pick a sprite from each Gen. I feel like my Gen 6 sprite is a little bit different next to all the others but I wanted a more feminine style because of the more feminine Pokemon I had in that team.

And Seila, woot for Suicune fans! Suicune is my all-time favourite legendary too so I felt the need to have it in my Gen 2 team and no other legendaries after that. Also, in case anyone wonders, I did pick Braixen over Delphox on purpose. I have a huge thing for Braixen and Delphox just never, ever clicked with me even after I let my first one evolve into one. :c

... And Falcon, since I forgot to answer, I have two Chari Y stones - we had an event over here that gave us the stone not from our game and I had previously got one from Corey.

Totally off-topic but omg Chimera that cat in your signature has been dancing in time to my music for the last 5 minutes and I'm DYING.

[Silivren]

I totally just ordered some of the Pokemon Chess Pieces. I ordered a set. I got the one with Charizard, Kyogre, Mew, and Weavile in it. There's some others like Jirachi and such but I'm so excited. Mew is my favorite legendary. I've never owned a Mew though. That makes me sad. :/

Also the severe lack of Pumpkaboo merch makes me really sad.

[Falcon]

You're good at starting things! And I've always liked the parasol girl (and lady) sprites, they're really nice looking. Yeah, I feel so bad that I couldn't fit Reshiram, since I couldn't have Articuno in the same team with him, it didn't feel right, along with that after story team of mine being a very tight-knit family of sorts (they're all female except for my Hydreigon, poor Sturm. XD)

Okay, fixing it, I feel too bad not to, and because I'm such a dork. Excuse me:



Moltres and Zapdos aren't on here because I didn't want my favorite trio to hog half of the card. And I broke my limit on one shiny because SHINY CRESSELIA! ♥ ♥ Who I'm STILL trying for, by the way. SRs are so boring and monotonous for me that I'm forced to take breaks. x_x

This is how slow i am to make posts in this thread. XD Lucky you, we've yet to get that Charizard event, it's why I'm so bitter about the bug one we're stuck with over here. But, that aside, I'm glad you can have both a shiny and non-shiny Charizard Y. :3

i love Chimera's sig, those cats are SO CUTE.

Kenna: WHERE did you buy that set that has the Charizard piece in it?! I MUST KNOW! O____________O *hyperventilating*

[Silivren]

@Falcon - Right here is the link. It's on EBay! http://m.ebay.com/itm/251634333515?nav=SEARCH

I'm a bit bummed because I found a Mini Pumpkaboo and a Mini Lucario figure there too... 5.50 each but after my set I can't afford them. That's the only Pumpkaboo in my price range too.
