Pokedex Entries / [Pokedex Entry] Growlithe by Triloog

« on: February 24, 2014, 06:36:15 PM »

Written by Triloog

Pokemon #58, Growlithe, Fire Type, Puppy Pokemon.

Intro:
Growlithe is a medium-sized canine Pokémon. Most of his fur is orange, but the fur on his head, belly and tail is cream-colored. This fur is also longer. He has black stripes on his back, the front of his front paws, and the back of his hind paws. It has a black nose, a pink tongue and round ears. When Growlithe becomes older, two sharp, pointy teeth appear. His front paws have two claws and his back paws have three toes. There have also been sightings of yellow Growlithes. This is because the genetic code for orange became damaged in early foetal stages. Instead of orange, this resulted in a less warm, yellow color.
Growlithe is a Pokémon that is very friendly and loyal towards its trainer. It will protect him and its territory, and will go up against nearly any opponents for this cause, in any way it can think of. Hiding and waiting for Growlithe to go away will not be an option, since Growlithe can detect these foes with his amazing sense of smell. The relationship between a Growlithe and a trainer is often easygoing, since Growlithe are very obedient Pokémon.

Diet:
Growlithe originate from carnivorous ancestors. Living closely to men, they adapted their eating pattern, switching from carnivorous to omnivorous. They will happily eat anything their trainer feeds them. Meat and none-meat leftovers are a nice treat for Growlithes. In the wild, Growlithes are often encountered with berries, especially Rawst berries. Scientists used to think that Growlithes liked these berries best. Further research refutes this theory. Growlithes carry berries to help other Pokemon. Growlithes are very teritorial, but when they win the battle and their territorium is acknowledged, they are very helpful and even help former opponents from their burned status.

Habitat:
Domesticated Growlithes are often found near humans, in cities and villages. In the wild, Growlithes are found near human-made structures such as buildings and roads. The territories of Growlithe are quite big.

Biology:
A domesticated Growlithe is friendly, very loyal and very protective. It tries to intimidate opponents or makes them less dangerous by hindering them with moves like Attract or Swagger. The attack types it uses are mostly fire and normal, but Growlithe can use other move types. Typical moves are Flamethrower and Return. The better the relationship between Growlithe and his trainer, the better Growlithe can protect him. They also have a relatively high attack and special attack and are skilled at using these in battle. Growlithe makes a great pet and can become a great police dog when trained properly. Their good sense of smell can be very helpful. Bonds between Growlithe and humans go back ages.
Growlithe in the wild have a big territorium. The males protect the territoriy, while the females take care of the children. Since their territory is so big, it is not uncommon for Growlithes to protect it in packs. As this pack behaviour is more likely to put a strain on male numbers, evolutionary, this resulted in a male/female ratio of 3:1. This is why there have been more encounters with male Growlithes than with females. Because of their big territory, there are often too few territories for all the Growlithe in an area, even when packs are taken into account. Growlithes without a territory of their own often search for new places or new chances to gain a territory. When a Growlithe has no territory of its own, the bond beween human and Growlithe often attracts them to roads and civilization. Growlithes share the same niche with Vulpix, and are rarely seen at the same time in the same place. Scientists think that the territorial behavior of Growlithe causes the Vulpix to flee. When Growlithe leaves the area for a longer amount of time, Vulpix may reclaim the niche.

Pokemon League Commission notes:
Growlithe is a Class C Pokemon under the PLC guidelines. It is a semi rare Pokemon. Growlithe can be found in the wild, but since they’re very territorial, it is recommended to look whether you could see a female Growlithe and children nearby. If that is the case, pursuit is not recommended. Growlithes with families are extremely territorial. It is seen as animal cruelty to interrupt these families, and dangerous for the trainers themselves. There have been several notifications of aggression by Growlithe protecting their territory. Growlithes without a territoriy may be caught at will.

Pokedex Entries / [Pokedex Entry] Metapod

« on: February 24, 2014, 06:35:30 PM »

Number 11. Metapod, the Cocoon pokemon. Bug Type.

Introduction: Metapod is a green, crescent moon shaped pokemon with a rather polygonal appearance. It has two eyes and an angular nose. As the evolved form of Caterpie, Metapod is typically only a Metapod for a short while. Metapod is developing into a Butterfree on the inside.

Habitat: Residing in the same forests as Caterpie, Metapod can be found hanging from a string in trees.

Diet: Metapod does not have a mouth. During the short development period before turning into Butterfree, Metapod does not eat anything.

Biology: A Wild Metapod typically only knows Harden. It uses this move to reduce damage from attackers, which is fairly pointless since it lacks a way to counterattack. Of course, one cannot expect much movement from a cocoon.
Ironically, a Metapod that was evolved by a trainer retains the ability to use the moves Tackle and String Shot, and even Bug Bite if the trainer was dim-witted enough to hold off evolution until level 15. The use of the moves String Shot and especially Bug Bite is a complete and utter mystery, as Metapod does not have a mouth, let alone teeth, which are needed for these moves. It can be speculated that a well-trained Metapod is able to create some form of inertia by moving inside the shell, allowing it to use the move Tackle, but the other two moves cannot be explained.

PLC rating: D. As with Caterpie, the Metapod population is large enough to warrant unfettered continuation with any level of catching.

Pokedex Entries / [Pokedex Entry] Caterpie

« on: February 24, 2014, 06:34:25 PM »

Pokemon 10, Caterpie, The Caterpillar Pokemon, Bug type.

Intro: Caterpie is a small, green pokemon consisting from seven segments. The first segment, the head, holds the relatively big black eyes, lined with a yellow circle. The head is decorated by a red antenna, or osmeterium, which Caterpie can use to produce a foul-smelling substance (which is ironically not supported by any move). Caterpie has a small, round mouth consisting of two green circular segments. The second and third segment of the body are decorated with a yellow circle and hold the total of four legs, which caterpie uses to move. The legs have suction cups, which allow it to climb trees. The rest of the segments make up the rest of the body, which is typically referred to as its tail. The underside of the body and the rings on segments four to six are all yellow, as is the final segment, the tail horn.

Diet: Caterpie has a tremendous hunger for leaves, and spends most of its waking hours eating, preparing for evolution.

Habitat: Caterpie lives exclusively in forests, where it is a common sight.

Biology: Caterpie is a typically uninteresting pokemon, not able to learn any TM's and has for several generations been unable to learn any moves beyond tackle and string shot. In recent evolution, Caterpie has gained the ability to learn the move bug bite at level 15. The person who discovered this wishes to remain anonymous, since anyone who raises a Caterpie beyond level 7 without letting it evolve into Metapod would suffer serious defacing, since caterpie is typically battle-unworthy and halting evolution is regarded as ridiculous. The added value of the move Bug Bite is naturally limited, but it is generally regarded as humorous to steal a oran berry from a pokefan's pikachu.
When Caterpie has eaten enough, or when it has gained enough battle experience, it will start covering itself with the move string shot, creating a cocoon and evolving into Metapod. A caterpie that has been trained by a trainer retains its ability to use the move tackle evolution, while wild caterpie mysteriously lose this ability upon evolution.
Caterpie is particularly well-suited as a pokemon for starting trainers, since it evolves at a very low level. This rapid increase in strenght is a motivation for new trainers to also continue to train their other pokemon, although the rewards come slower. Additionally, Caterpie is a docile pokemon and easy to catch, making it the perfect catching target for starting trainers.

Pokemon League Commission notes:
Class D- Common Pokemon. No strict catching guidelines.
Butterfree is a pokemon that reproduces very quickly, only outdone by Magikarp, and thus Caterpie populations are typically on the rise. Regulations in certain areas actually recommend that all starting trainers catch at least one Caterpie in order to limit overpopulation and prevent deforestation.

Pokedex Entries / [Pokedex Entry] Magnemite

« on: February 24, 2014, 06:33:33 PM »

Pokemon 81, Magnemite, Electric/Steel type, The magnet pokemon

Intro: Magnemite is a greyish metallic pokemon, consisting of a metal sphere with a single eye and two Phillips screws on the bottom left and right of the sphere, complemented by a single Phillips screw on top of the sphere, which is only screwed in halfway. To the sides of each side of the sphere is a magnet turned sideways, with a red and blue tip. In case of a shiny Magnemite, the tips are black. Magnemite is typically seen levitating in midair.

Diet: No scientist or trainer has ever seen a Magnemite consume everything but electrical energy. How this pokemon sustains itself is a mystery.

Habitat: Magnemite is typically found in and around power plants, where it may leach off of surplus power sources. Magnemite has also been found in certain caves where a strong magnetic influence is present.

Biology: The existence of magnemite is at the very least enigmatic. As a pokemon without an egg group, only able to reproduce with Ditto, it does not appear to descend from anything. How it came into existence cannot be reproduced with any modern evolution simulations, but records show Magnemite have been around for hundreds of years.
Magnemite’s evolution is a complete and utter mystery. A single magnemite may evolve into Magneton by means of leveling up, which causes the body to triplicate. However, definite reports have also been published in which three separate Magnemite have been seen sharing a magnetic bond and turning into Magneton after connecting. Additionally, Magnemite has been reported to evolve after a complete overload of electricity delivered by a Pikachu and a device using static electricity. This last method has not been reproduced since, but video evidence is available.
Magnemite has been used as a means to store and generate electricity. Magnemite farmers actively chase thunderstorms in the hope of charging their Magnemites and selling the stored electricity. It is unclear how the biology and metabolism of Magnemite is involved, but the typically docile pokemon does not appear to mind when used in this matter. A Magnemite completely drained of electrical energy goes into hibernation and will not respond to outer stimulants until recharged. Natural Magnemite death has not been reported to this day, though Magnemite have been deceased due to excessive damage caused by fire or physical damage.
Magnemite consists of a corrosion-resistant alloy. The exact nature of this natural alloy has eluded material scientists for years. Research persists as such a corrosion-resistant material would definitely serve as a valuable building material.

Pokemon League Commission notes:
Class D- Common Pokemon. No strict catching guidelines. Although the reproduction of Magnemite in the wild remains an utter mystery, plenty of Magnemites can be found in several locations.

Pokedex Entries / [Pokedex Entry] Persian

« on: February 23, 2014, 10:15:19 PM »

Approved by Xetroc

Pokemon 53, Persian, Normal type, Classy Cat pokemon.

Intro: Persian is a majestic, large feline pokemon. It has light, unblemished beige fur and a black accent on the rim of it's ears. A red gem adorns the forehead, complementing the typical whiskers on Persian's face. Persian's lean muscles also allow it to walk soundlessly, and in some individuals allows Persian to be protecter from paralysis (Limber ability).*

Diet: The wild Persian keeps a typically feline diet of birds, rodents and fish. Persian kept as pets are known to have a higher standard for food, often demanding high quality cat-food, exotic birds and fish and only the most exquisite pieces of meat.

Habitat: Persian is rarely spotted outside of towns and cities. Persians have been known to lead packs of Meowth in deserted cities. However, one has a better chance of finding them being kept as pets in wealthy households.

Biology: Persian appears to be exceptionally well suited as a pet for richer individuals, Giovanni being the most well-known example. When being kept as a pet, one might even go as far as saying that Persian expects a certain social standard from its owner. Persian is known for its fickle personality, sometimes clawing and mauling its owner for little to no reason.
In contrast, Persian being kept as a pokemon for battle are much better at adapting to their owner's living standards.
The gem on Persian's forehead appears to be an evolved version of meowth's gold coin and symbolizes a higher standard of wealth. Persian is able to use the gem for moves such as hypnosis and power gem.
Where Persian was previously used in battle mostly for their speed, power and ability to use a plethora of elemental attacks, they have long since been surpassed strictly in those categories by pokemon as Porygon-Z and Tauros. Modern Persians are used for a combination of speed and trickery, such as interrupting attacks such as knock-off, fake-out, U-turn, hypnosis and taunt, in which some Persian are particularly skilled thanks to their ability Technician. Persian is typically unequalled in this category thanks to its tremendous speed.

Pokemon League Commission notes:

Class B- Rarely found in the wild on its own, Persian tends to have an alpha role in packs of Meowth. To keep peace in these populations, catching the leading Persian is not recommended. The catching of any other lonesome Persian is not restricted in any way, assuming the trainer is lucky enough to even encounter one.

Pokedex Entries / [Pokedex Entry] Absol

« on: February 22, 2014, 01:30:51 PM »

Pokemon 359, Absol, Dark type, Disaster pokemon

Intro: Absol is quite a unique pokemon. It has a black/grey/blue body which is covered in fur for the most part. The fur is extra present around Absol's neck, somewhat resembling a lion's mane. Absol has a typical horn protruding from its head, shaped somewhat like a crescent moon. Alongside the tress on the side of the face, and the typical black spot in the middle of Absol's head, the combination somewhat resembles yin and yang. Absol's tail is somewhat reminiscent of a bat's wing, and it's paws each have three short, but thick talons, complemented by a single talon on the back of each leg.
It's morphology is quite unique in the pokemon kingdom. There do not appear to be any direct evolutionary relatives of absol, although the Field egg group implies some sort of shared ancestor with the other pokemon in that group.

Diet: Adapted to life in various regions, Absols diet is very flexible. It may consist of specific leaves, fruits and vegetables, but also fish, small wildlife and anything a particularly hungry Absol may scavenge on the outskirts of society.

Habitat: Absol naturally live reclusive lives in mountainous regions or in heavily overgrown fields, far from any real form of civilization. Paradoxically, Absol always manage to find their way to civilization in case of a coming distaster. Particularly watchful Absol, living in an environment which is threatening to society, such as a volcanic region, have been seen moving their habitats closer to the area inhabited by humans. Although some unenlightened citizenry call Absol the disaster pokemon due to their connection with disasters, some Absol have been referred to as a town or city guardian, protecting the citizens from impending disaster.

Biology:

Absol's unique horn allows it to sence natural vibrations with stunning accuracy. This ability allows it to predict coming disasters such as floods, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. Although Absol tend to live reclusive lives, they feel it is their responsibility to warn people of coming disasters. Due to their watchful natures, some Absol have been seen taking a particularly unlucky trainer as their partners without directly being caught. Especially Absol with the Super Luck ability feel the need to share their ability with those less fortunate.
Absol's noble heart and protective nature are also reflected in the ability Justified.
Absol's fur has evolved to withstand the cold of mountainous regious in which they usually reside. Absol's fur is coveted by many, although Absol's social status as a guardian (angel) tends to prevent any structural form of hunting. This is especially true since absol pelts are particularly difficult to move, as no trader wants to stain their hands with the potential lives of an entire village.
Absol's claws have primarily evolved to allow a firm grip during mountain scaling. However, they are also particularly potent weapons. Absol has amongst the most potent attack power in the pokemon world, and the effectivity of their claws is partly the reason of that.
Absol is able to learn a variety of physical slashing and cutting moves thanks to their claws. They also allow for a wide range of powerful moves with types ranging from rock to bug and even flying type. Absol's horn is the source of more elaborate powers such as psychic and electrical moves. Absol also have the ability to breathe fire, though they cannot develop this power without the interference of a trainer.
Absol has the ability to evolve using mega-evolution. Mega-Absol is a stronger, faster and more magnificent version of Absol, and uses the substantially powerful abilty Magic Bounce.
Due to its magnificent fur and Super Luck ability, Absol are coveted pets and mascots among those that like to take a bet, such as Gamblers and Mobsters who spend their time in the casino. In some parts, pokemon breeders have added Super Luck Absol to their repetoire, since a particularly lucky Absol can be worth a fortune in the casino. One particular casino went bankrupt on the same night a Rocket Executive entered the building accompanied by a Shiny Absol.

Pokemon League Commission notes:

Class B- Due to their newfound status as guardians, the catching of some Absol may cause an outrage in certain regions. In these regions, catching Absol is strictly prohibited. In other regions where Absol does not have such a social status, catching may be limited or completely unlimited. Inquiry of catching Absol is reccommended per region.

Whoa I really went all-out on this one.

Pokedex Entries / [Pokedex Entry] Qwilfish

« on: February 21, 2014, 01:18:56 AM »

Pokemon 211, Qwilfish, Balloon Pokemon

Intro: Qwilfish is an ocean Pokémon with a round body and a thin, teardrop-shaped tail. The body of Qwilfish is divided in a dark teal upper half and a light yellow lower body. The tail is decorated with the same colors, a teal rim and yellow center, complimented by two teal spots. Qwilfish has typical, pink lips and eyes that always appear grumpy. Its entire body is covered in poisonous spikes, which are said to have evolved from scales.

Diet: As with many fish-type pokemon, Qwilfish feeds mostly on invertebrates and algea, although they are known to scavenge shellfish and shrimp when given the chance.

Habitat: Commonly referred to as a sea dwelling pokemon, Qwilfish's natural habitat is the ocean. Surprisingly, it can also be found in some rivers and lakes, such as route 12 and 13 in Johto. Once in a blue moon, Qwilfish have been reported to flock to this location en masse, giving rise to the belief that this place may be a Qwilfish breeding ground. Outside of these outbursts in population, Qwilfish is considered an elusive pokemon.

Biology: Qwilfish is commonly known to be able to launch its spikes. This is achieved by swallowing 2.6 gallons of water, causing the body to inflate several times its regular size. This activity allows the use of moves such as pin missle and spike cannon, as well as spikes, toxic spikes and inflation moves such as selfdestruct and explosion.
Qwilfish has evolved poison sacs for defensive purposes. The toxins produced by the sacs are powerful enough to cause fainting in the largest pokemon species. The poison sacs are omnipresent throughout Qwilfish's body, although their location is predisposed towards the spikes.
Due to its round form, Qwilfish is not such a good swimmer as its streamlined cousins.
Although Qwilfish is definitely not among the strongest pokemon, it does have a particularly large move pool. Due to its ability to shoot spikes, many bug-type attacks are available in addition to the regular movepool of water, poison and ice-attacks that come naturally to pokemon that share its type combination. Particular note goes to the ability to learn Destiny Bond, which is typically reserved for ghost type pokemon.

Due to its elusive nature, many fishers have taken Qwilfish watching to a whole new level, alerting any and all of any rise in Qwilfish population, usually indicating the start of a breeding season.

Pokemon League Commission notes: Class D. Although Qwilfish can be elusive and difficult to obtain, no specific catching restrictions have been implemented.
