Some things for Animinneapolis this weekend. If you’re going, feel free to swing by my table :)
6 Strange and Creepy Pokedex Entries
Happy Halloween!
Just in case anyone forgot Pokemon is full of nightmare fuel.
WAIT WHAT ABOUT THAT LAST ONE WITH KADABRA I DON’T REMMBER READING THAT.
FireRed I think?
Don’t forget that in the original games, you could infer that Victreebel have been know to eat humans (they’re said to live deep in the jungle…but nobody has ever returned). A person licked by a Haunter will shake uncontrollably until they die because it steals their life force. Gothitelle cries when it learns its trainer’s lifespan. Heatmor MELTS Durant to consume them—using its tongue it melts through their shells and eats their insides.
There is some very unsettling stuff in Pokemon. And that’s not even getting into the tragic events/side events presented in the games.
Also, friendly reminder that people eat Pokémon! Basculin’s entry specifically states that they’re remarkably tasty—no indication that its not humans who find them yummy.
And let’s not forget this cutie
Was once a human.
It’s pokedex entry reads:
Each of them carries a mask that used to be its face when it was human. Sometimes they look at it and cry.
These Pokémon arose from the spirits of people interred in graves in past ages. Each retains memories of its former life.
IT IS WELL AWARE THAT IT IS NO LONGER HUMAN.YOU ARE USING A FORMERLY HUMAN CREATURE TO BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF YOUR FRIEND’S PETS.
How did it get that way you ask?
Why, by being birthed by it’s evolved form, of course! Which, by the way, looks like this:
and whose pokedex entry reads (depending on your version) :
It has been said that they swallow those who get too close and turn them into mummies. They like to eat gold nuggets.
They pretend to be elaborate coffins to teach lessons to grave robbers. Their bodies are covered in pure gold.
IT EATS ANYONE STUPID ENOUGH TO GET CLOSE TO IT.
SWEET DREAMS.
And let’s not forget about these fuckers:
One of it’s earliest pokedex entires reads:
It attacks in a stealthy manner, without warning. It’s sharp fangs are used to bite and suck blood.
which isn’t so bad except—
Once it strikes, it will not stop draining energy from the victim even if it gets too heavy to fly.
oh
It loves the blood of both humans and Pokemon. It flies around at night in search of neck veins.
Do you know what this means? THIS THING GORGES ITSELF ON HUMANS AND POKEMON. ALSO, IT’S FANGS ARE SHARP ENOUGH TO PIERCE SOME PRETTY THICK HIDES.
SLEEP WELL.
Litwick shines a light that absorbs the life energy of people and Pokémon, which becomes the fuel that it burns.
While shining a light and pretending to be a guide, it leeches off the life force of any who follow it.
not to bad right?
This ominous Pokémon is feared. Through cities it wanders, searching for the spirits of the fallen.
It arrives near the moment of death and steals spirit from the body.
The spirits it absorbs fuel its baleful fire. It hangs around hospitals waiting for people to pass on.
OH
It absorbs a spirit, which it then burns. By waving the flames on its arms, it puts its foes into a hypnotic trance.
Being consumed in Chandelure’s flame burns up the spirit, leaving the body behind.
The spirits burned up in its ominous flame lose their way and wander this world forever.
HHHHHHHHMMMMMM
Apologies for the length of this post, but I do always enjoy pointing out the creepy stuff in Pokemon.
some of dem pokemon, man.
Dubbed by 4kids, y'all. Between this and season zero of Yu-Gi-Oh being the most disturbing thing EVER (hey let’s play a card game in a restaurant oops I just set you on fire in a restaurant surrounded by people har har) the studio is a very kid friendly company, yeah?
I’m not into Pokemon as much as I use to be, but I do have fond memories. Specifically of the original Pokemon. I wanted to make a clock depicting the starter Pokemon, because I’ve always liked these three :) Around the clock, for numbers, are pokeballs, and the clock itself is painted to look like a pokeball.
This clock is available here: OG Pokemon (yes I mentally called it the OG Pokemon clock)
Get your own custom Pokemon clock here: Who’s that Pokemon?
Other custom clock orders and other orders can be made here: Sewn Together Reflections on Etsy ^^
Our second shop page: Sewn Together Reflections on Storenvy
My DeviantART for more examples: Things and Stuff!
Commission clock finished just in time for the holidays :) Farfetch’d from Pokemon, surrounded by pokeballs ^^
Clock commissions here: Etsy Store
More clock samples here: My DeviantArt
We’ve got a couple of wineglasses for sale over at Sewn Together Reflections. All of the glasses are dishwasher safe, so they can be used and cleaned with no problem :) Feel free to check out the other stuff at the shop, some of the glasses have matching coasters (such as the Black Butler Funtom glass and the Fate/Zero glass of Waver’s seal).
And you can also message me here about any items you want, or things you’d like commissioned.
Snowtigra is making ponies now, too :) But instead of just making the normal cast from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic she has decided to turn any character into a pony. Of course, she can make the normal cast, but she likes doing things like making a Hulk pony, or a Tardis, or Goliath from Gargoyles or Swiftwind from She-Ra ^^
As always, feel free to check out the shop here and make a request, or just send one of us a message here on tumblr :)
Holiday season is right around the corner so I thought, “I should advertise the shop.” Now that I have clocks again, I can open up custom orders on them :) Here’s some examples of the work I do.
You can go to the shop page here to place an order, which also has shipping information and things like that: http://www.etsy.com/shop/snowtigra?ref=si_shop You can also send a note on tumblr, or even on my deviantart page which has a bunch of other pictures: http://cutiechibi.deviantart.com/
There’s plenty of other items on the shop page, too, including woodburned coasters, mini plushies, hats, and all sorts of fun items.
Oh my, are these Pokemon shotglasses? I think they are! Completely usable and dishwasher safe, you can definitely commission a set from our shop :)
Ponies!
We’ll have My Little Pony plushies for sale at Geek.kon and aside from some of the well known characters, I’ve also made some other pony type characters in My Little Pony Friendship is Magic style.
First up? Swiftwind, from She-ra! I love love love love love how this one turned out so much. She’s so frickin adoreable to me.
2. Tardis pony. Complete with the Bad Wolf on the side and the piece around the neck which says ‘police box’ and a hair style based on one of the many versions of the Doctor. This thing sold fast at Anime Iowa, so I’m making a couple this time.
3. Pokemon Keldeo. From the newest Pokemon game: Black and White 2. This is the Gamestop exclusive pokemon you get and it looked like a crazy pony so I figured why not?
Any other nostalgic or just fun ponies you guy think I should make?
As my partner said, these will be at Geek.Kon this coming weekend :)
