The harder types were Water, Normal, Rock, Flying, Poison, Dark, Ice, and Fairy as I needed to actually open the lists rather than naming them off the top of my head, still it was interesting rearanging dual typing's to try to get the most of my favorites on the list.
Also just double checked and I managed to get at least one Pokemon in from every Gen from 1-8
Wasn't even aiming for that originally but I'm satisficed by that fact

Looks like I’m not the only one waiting for a pokepark 3
Honestly this would be the perfect generation for it, Quaxly, Fuecoco and Sprigatito have the most character of any starter in the past three gens so they'd make good protagonists if they still wanted to take the Starter Trio angle that they did in the second game
steep sleet
Indeed
turbid horizon
My big hopes would probably be:
More playable Pokémon
Customised battle system maybe? Don't get me wrong it's been a while since I played but I mostly remember each one being locked into a small selection of moves
And complete open world, no loading zones, which is less ambitious now that Scarlet and Violet are a thing
They could even do the moves kinda like Skylanders, I always thought that was a neat system

Love N. I do.
We do need to accept however, and I mean this in no negative sense
He is not an elegant man
He may be pretty but above all N is two things: awkward and a furry
I say this with love, but I say it firmly because it needs to be known as the truth
We know from Cheren and the fact that his text is faster than anyone in game that he talks way too fast
So he's probably awkwardly rushing through sentences because he isn't used to talking with people
And also he literally has a shadowy wolf fursona
I love N as he IS
An awkward furry! Who talks to animals!
N is game Freak self-inserting half the Pokémon fandom straight into the game and he's the most compelling rival by far
(I say this excluding the Sun and Moon cast because I'll be honest I didn't pay attention throughout sun and moon and then gave up in USUM because I was bored. Nothing personal about the story, for some reason I just found the games exhausting)
So I can't make much judgement of the Sun/Moon guys but they seem alright

They aren't as forgettable as the gen 6 protags at least
Gen 6 was weird with rivals. Also kinda showed off Gamefreak's poor female designs
"here's an overweight rival and a short, nerdy looking rival."
Oh sweet we can finally have stuff like that since it's 3D, I like the variation in the designs.
"Now here's your two perfectly slim female rivals! You'll never meet a woman in this game who's chubbier than this unless she's an elderly woman!"
I mean it wasn't like
The worst thing I guess?
But it's pretty noticeable in hindsight
Melony was a pretty good design in Sword and Shield but that's also counterbalanced against Bea who is like
acoustic blaze
bad?
turbid horizon
"I'm a super hardcore fighting type trainer who trains with literal machamps and can lift giant rocks"
"Also I'm almost thinner than you, a child"
Why would you set her up to be this person who trains constantly and is super strong and then literally not give her a single muscle?
Nah instead they just took her damn cobble slappers out for the entire game
Gotta show off those meat talons

I mean don't get me wrong I'm certainly glad Pokémon is adding more skin colours to their characters now (even though again Bea undermines that a little by being super pale in the anime even though in the game she's way too dark for it to just be tan)
But they still have a lot of work to do when it comes to their designs.
Especially with female characters.
Here's hoping we see some improvement in Scarlet and Violet,
And hopefully not more gym leader feet.

With the Black and White phase of the Pokémon remakes/revisit timeline steadily approaching, I bring you some ideas:
Black and White 3. Heavily unlikely, but instead of a reboot or spinoff we simply get a third installation. This would take place some time after the second games, enough so that the protagonist of the first game could show up with the opposite legendary dragon to N in 2 in a climactic point of the story
finite prism
And then og dragon cause colress found a way to fuse them back together
turbid horizon
Legends Kyurem/Unova. Taking place before the invention of pokeballs in old Unova, this legends game would be very medieval-themed in nature and that's cool as fuck regardless. We'd get to see the original dragon (though whether or not we catch it is up for question. Especially since the game would likely detail it's split unless it takes place before the fight between the princes.)
A separate open world spinoff game. This one is very wishful thinking but it's based on a simple concept: don't go back, go forward. Unova's past would be a difficult one to explore, so why not take the whole wormhole plot that is becoming a staple of Pokémon games and focus more on space instead of time. This isn't our timeline, it's the alternate timeline from USUM where Ghetsis won. It takes place in a ruined, dystopian Unova where Neo Plasma have become a terrifying force through the use of the true Legendary Dragon. The protagonist from 2 should be dead but if Pokémon wants to pull it's punches, they may just be frozen from Kyurem's attack and can be later revived as part of the story. In a climactic scene (spoilers for PLA) ||Ingo would be brought forward in time alongside Tornadus, Thundurus, Landorus and Enamorus and you would fight the Plasma sky ship battalion by converting the battle train using the same technology Team Plasma's ships use. You'd get to fly a train to fight sky pirate knights. How can you not want that?||
Important parts of this game would include things such as open world exploration of destroyed towns and cities and for extra threat, one of the random possible events would be Genesect fleets, which would fly overhead and you would have to hide from them, akin to the flying Guardians from BOTW
Also more focus on the ex team Plasma members which were set up in BW2 to still be serving team Plasma as followers of N, because I feel that not enough was done with that plot point
At the end of the day, I just don't want a BDSP style remake of BW or the sequel (though maybe if they combined the first game and the sequel into one it would be more tempting)
It's not that I hate BDSP, the games just don't interest me. It's not a cool reboot like ORAS, it's just a remake. I don't think the art style is awful, but it's weird and definitely feels more like a ploy to satisfy the people who wanted a remake instead of Legends Arceus
Plus they highlight Nintendo's desperation to make legendary events relevant when really they shouldn't be temporary at all
Like, oh, yay, limited time to get Shaymin
That's gonna convince people to not hack in the Pokémon they want.
Black and White has so many cool legendaries, and I don't want that screwed up in a remake or reboot by making them limited events again
shrewd furnace
I am tired of vast fields of nature, I want cities now.
turbid horizon
I am tired of vast fields of nature, I want cities now.
That's why I think the dystopian alternate future game would be cool. Imagine travelling through a wrecked Castelia, possibly with the desert creeping its way in due to lack of care
You could even have the chance to repair the main cities all over Unova as part of the game
shrewd furnace
I really don't want more wilderness, ruin-based or otherwise.
turbid horizon
Well personally I'd love a revisit to Unova which is open world like Scarlet and Violet, with no catches
But Nintendo is really weird
And I don't see remakes in that style without some sort of major change being made being likely
I mean the last time they remade something by just rebooting a game straight into the style of the new games was ORAS
And that was years ago
But luckily I think Soul Silver and Heart Gold actually come next in the remake/reboot timeline that Nintendo seems to be following? So I'm hoping they'll do something cool with Johto which may give us an idea on what a BW reboot or remake would be like
turbid horizon
Golurk would be a good all-rounder for Pokémon Unite
Every concept I've seen makes it a defender but that doesn't make sense for it's stats
Golurk is high attack, very average everything else, basically a true all-rounder
Either that or like
Galvantula would be a cool speedster
Sticky web, thunder, it's popular moves would be a good set
I mean Hydreigon would be an obvious choice and it would be a cool gen 5 Pokémon for the job but I feel like there are more unique ones I'd prefer
Like Whimsicott
Hell, Druddigon maybe
Sigilyph could be cool, don't know what the hell it would be though
turbid horizon
The TCG seems like such an interesting idea but almost everything you see about Pokémon cards nowadays is just collectors or money-grubbing grown ass adults

Ghetsis is just an asshole
night palm
scary
turbid horizon
Ghetsis doesn't care about your dog, you, his son, his parents, his evil team, his Pokémon
Hell even his villain plan is kinda vague
Just sort of amounts to taking over Unova
It's just that he's going about it in the way that causes those around him the most emotional and physical pain
He heard about a scary ice dragon who the locals say kills and eats kids, and you know what his response was?
"hey! I have a kid I need killed!"
And he would of succeeded too, if it wasn't for his meddling furry son and his dragon
It's scary how much Ghetsis gives off the vibes of like super religious American parents who try to brainwash their kid and the kid just ends up being gay anyway
Ghetsis: surely if I name my kid Natural Harmonia Gropius, lock him away for most of his young life and then treat him like a freak, he'll subscribe to my way of thinking when I need him.
N: father the animals tell me to hurt you.
night palm
true
turbid horizon
The inspiration for Unova being an American region may only seem appearance deep at first
But you look me in the eyes and tell me it doesn't dictate the personalities of characters as well
Because everyone in Unova is batshit crazy
Don't get me wrong, I like that the gym leaders help
But the fact that they often don't in other games implies that they aren't supposed to
The Unova gym leaders fighting Team Plasma was the equivalent of a bunch of rednecks on ATVs showing up with shotguns to fight for you
And you may think I'm being hyperbolic but in the anime BRYCEN PUSHES TEAM PLASMA MEMBERS TO THEIR DEATHS
Every other gym leader acts normal then it cuts to Brycen who does these things in this order:
- Releases a polar bear
- Climbs two storeys up a flight of stairs
- Screams, and proceeds to throw people in heavy chainmail armour off of said stairs
THOSE GRUNTS ARE DEAD
Even the SMART people are insane
You find out Colress is working with Ghetsis expecting some reveal that he has a big evil plot
And the motherfucker basically says
"I dunno, thought it'd be cool. I'll just team up with whoever wins."

This kinda fits with the theme of Belle(female rival of BW, dunno if she is called the same in english) where her father wants her to stay home and not pursue her dreams because it's too dangerous/not what he wants her to do. Even though it's a different form of control in terms of parenting...
Huh... Maybe the characters being older was also used as an opportunity to tell a story about growth that comes with aging. After all everyone that grew up with Gen 1 was a young adult now, everyone after at least a teenager.

Yeah it was. But if it doesn't work with Hardware they could still add them as Black/White like they did with Red to create a spiritual reference to the prequels.
If you had the Link option for a third game with such an optional battle:
The best I could imagine to add besides the name and gender would be the starter. Copying your exact team (except from the hall of fame maybe) would be nearly impossible I think. But at least the Starter would make it a bit more personal. If not, then a good team would prolly consist of all the starters + either Reshiram/Zekrom or Black/White Kyurem. And maybe some strong important encounters like Venemoth. For the sixth place idk. Maybe Haxorus since it's a strong pseudo legendary (and serves as a reward for completing the entire national dex iirc).

No shade to Unova, my favourite generation of Pokémon by far
But Nintendo really made two of their best games with some of the best Pokémon designs and said "now watch as we give these guys 0 respect going forward"
You're telling me Charizard got two megas but all Haxorus got was a worse design in the 3D transition?
turbid horizon
It does have a good attack stat, one dragon dance and it's nearly 800 with the right EVs
But there's no excuse for Golurk
It feels like they gave it a strong attack and then went "all other stats will be average because of its CRAZY attack stat" but that attack stat as far as good attack stat Pokémon goes isn't that great
I'd have preferred it to be a more all-rounder Pokémon. Hell, realistically it should be a mixed attacker like Lucario or something

Unova is a mixed bag because of the min maxing
Plus the late evolution levels
Gamefreak please amend the evolution levels,Unova Pokémon Aren't stand alone anymore
When everyone evolves late, I'm more or less okay with it, but when my other, similar options don't involve waiting forever its really annoying

Technician and cute charm was a bad combo
I get cute charm flavour wise but its not bulky like Clefairy so it can't really use it,plus cute charm sucks in general
I think something that makes it resist electric and ground moves would've been better
That way it can switch on something other then ghost and status effects
turbid horizon
Golurk, frankly, should have gotten a mega evolution. Either that, or its ability should have been a form-changing one where it loses it's seal at low health and it either gets a flat buff or gets some sort of unstable buff (either akin to moody or it would heal a good portion of health but damage it slightly each turn afterwards)
reef aspen
The design for Minnicino is very good too, its not quite pikachu, clefairy or jigglypuff, its fills that niche but it doesn't feel like a rehash
turbid horizon
I still think if Haxorus had been better planned we could have had a cool double-pseudo generation. Especially given that BW is literally a two-game generation. It should have been a pseudo legendary dragon-steel type, which would have made it a great counterpart to Hydreigon for the addition of fairy a generation later
reef aspen
Tbh i think Haxorus would've been a cool fighting type

And honestly I have a major soft spot for Druddigon. It's such a good simple dragon design, especially pre-3D when it looked really jagged and heavy

A lot of people adore gen 5 now but even as far back as a few years ago people were still dumping on it. It's just that even early-genners have had to move forward a little, so instead of just liking the games there's a bunch of people hating anything past gen 5 instead

Gen 6 improved eelektross

As I've said, one of my main complaints about gen 5 Pokémon is their actual gameplay execution. Gen 6 had pretty damn fun gameplay because mega evolutions are the best gimmick to be introduced to Pokémon period.

Its a lot more fun, then generic badass pose with tiny barely there feet
Its supposed to swim through the air, its why it gets levitate
Archeops also got a lot more character in its transition to 3d, a lot of pokemon lost character, but they didn't
turbid horizon
I don't hate new generations because it's a pointless exercise. I am upset that gen 5 Pokémon have been given the shaft my Gamefreak because they're still somewhat Newer compared to anything gen 3 backwards, but gen 6 onwards gave us great gameplay and honestly given all the time portal shit baked into the games nowadays, great lore, because I'm pretty sure ORAS was where that originated

I do resent how good Serperior is though. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad gen 5 has a good starter, especially since we got Ass Greninja a generation later. But Samurott is my boy! It's my favourite!

I love Hisuian Samurott because I liked Samurott's design before so I don't really care that it wasn't a big change. But unless it gets some changes to normal Samurott's moveset/ability for main series games, I don't see it being all that good
turbid horizon
I've said before I think they should flip the script and instead of blocking critical hits, it should have some sort of Jagged Armour ability which makes it more likely to land crits. That paired with it's signature move, which has a higher crit chance as well as lingering damage would be decent
reef aspen
Besides the main campaign is easy, you could use whatever crap you want,lol
floral thunder
so super luck
turbid horizon
Its guaranteed to get dark stab at the very least
Great! Now if only dark type wasn't super susceptible to getting it's ass kicked 🫠
floral thunder
you may get stab knock off
turbid horizon
Dark type is a great offensive typing
Yeah but like I said, Samurott's speed really isn't great, and it's defenses are really average, which sadly means it might not survive long enough to do much with an abundance of fighting and fairy types around
I'm hoping I'm wrong, I want it to be good
If it's signature move acts even remotely similar in the main game, it at least has that going for it

Then they shouldn't have covered it in grass

The dex entry says that those grew because of seeds stuck to its body, so the grass and trees and stuff aren't actually snorlax's body like most other grass types

That makes zero sense
Its a temporary form
Besides Wormadam also isn't made of plant matter
Nor sewaddle
rain quarry
I'm not saying it has to be consistent with those pokemon, I'm saying that this dex entry atleast gives an explaination. You can get mad at Snorlax for not being grass or whatever, but you can't claim it doesn't make sense, it's more logical than those pokemon
reef aspen
Yes i can
Those pokemon set the precident not snorlax
Besides why would gmax allow grass and trees to grow on flesh/fur?
rain quarry
Hmm, well the dex implies that stuff was all on snorlax to begin with, gmax just enlarged and grew it. And wormadam actually is made of grass, burmy isn't, and he isn't grass type, the dex says when it evolves the coat becomes apart of its body, thus the new typing
reef aspen
There's an entire tree rooted in snorlax
jovial cosmos
The real reason it's not a Grass-type is because G-Max forms don't change types (another reason why Megas are better), I feel like there's definitely a compelling case for it to be a Grass-type because it's basically Torterra, but Snorlax. 😂
rain quarry
Well turtwig starts with its sapling as its head, not even growing into it it just is a part of him and he can feed off sunlight with it, so torterra's tree might be a part of his actual body

Yeah
Y'know I think the worst feature in Pokémon is hidden abilities right now so fuck ROM hacks which keep hidden abilities.
Especially quality of life/problem fixing ROMs like Blaze Black/Volt White
Because they're great ROMs but I just want a starter that isn't dogshit
And why would you bother to give them better hidden abilities to make them more useable and then not make it the default?
cunning parrot
Y'know I think the worst feature in Pokémon is hidden abilities right now so fuc...
Why?
turbid horizon
Why?
As soon as you have any knowledge of strategy it becomes annoying to use any Pokémon who's Hidden ability is objectively it's best (a lot of starters come to mind) and it's only recent games that have ability pills, which leaves hacks like Blaze Black/Volt White which don't add the ability pill in a spot where you have to get hidden abilities the hard way
I don't like abilities having options which are completely useless in comparison to other abilities available for that Pokémon. I'd much prefer they were just different options.
Torrent Greninja will never be as good as Protean Greninja, no matter what
Same goes for speed boost blaziken
And it's a dumb system for a game where a lot of people generally know what they want nowadays.
Anything that makes the games less grindy is greatly appreciated as far as I'm concerned. EV's in Legends Arceus were great, I'm hoping they carry over when you transfer Pokémon because if so that'll be a good source of perfect EV Pokémon
tawny iron
I don't think it matters lol
The main game is just a "press a" simulator anyway, so hidden abilities are only interesting for competitive battles where you have to raise up optimized mons from the ground up anyway
slow ferry
It's definitely more of an issue in fangames, which by design tend to push away from playability in general being "press a" simulators as you described, but also don't tend to give you the tools to interact with their difficulty I.E. requiring actually solid, well-built teams but not giving you the ability to easily pick what Ability you're working with.
In the real games, it's just an issue of GameFreak's general lack of a design philosophy for competitive onboarding and it being unfeasible to actually raise a comp viable mon in the games themselves without using the real strongest Pokemon, the GameShark.

Makes every non-legendary Pokémon into a pseudo legendary (with the only exception being Pokémon that are already stronger, or who have abilities to cover a lower base stat than 600)
And maybe also make it so that every Pokémon has a third Evo? To fit the criteria of pseudo? But that part isn't as necessary
It's not that I think every Pokémon should have a final base stat total of 600
But I do think it would be interesting, and would 100% shake up the competitive scene

And more interestingly I think is that everything would be super, ergo nothing would be, like papa syndrome says
The pseudos we have would stay the same
So suddenly metagross may be fucking worthless
Because all of a sudden here's a bunch of ghost types and dark types with 600 base stat total
turbid horizon
It's far too late now
But I think dark type might have been interesting if it was more literally dark
And not just
The evil type
Where it's shit like
"I'm a dog!! But bad 😈"
Those aren't awful
But if it was a more literal darkness, then instead of being weak to fighting and fairy, it could be weak to electric and fire, stuff that creates light
(arguably fairy could still work there but I'm sorry I don't like fairy)
Love fairy types
Love the idea of more types
Don't like how fairy fits in
Don't like that it only has two weaknesses
Especially don't like that for some reason it resists bug
Because bug was particularly powerful I guess?
umbral egret
bug gets the bad end of the stick many times, but its not as bad as ice
turbid horizon
And nothing's as bad as grass
charred spire
I mean, Ice still is worse. Next to no resists and so many weaknesses. At least Grass has some resists, even if it is weak to a lot of things.
slow ferry
Grass is dece. Ground resist counts for a lot more than Bug and Flying weaknesses, and being one of a handful of types that resists Electric is neat. It puts up more comp results than Ice, which is outright a penalty for the mon that has it.
charred spire
Bug has the trouble of generally being early game pokemon so usually they're usually underwhelming later on or just competitively, also lots of things resist Bug. Which is tough
turbid horizon
And then you've got steel/bug
Which like, sure, fire is decently common
But the fact we got a one-weakness dual typing from bug is funny to me
shrewd furnace
And there is ways to deal with that weakness.
During an old playthrough of gen 4 I was lucky enough to get a trash-cloak Wormadame with Hidden Power Ground-type.

Never gotten second hand embarrassment from kicking someone's ass before
Because they're right, Druddigon is bad, but that's what makes it worse that I won
The Drayden monotype team wins again

I don't want a fighting type kangaroo Pokémon
It's too bland, too obvious
It would just end up feeling disappointing
If Australia gets a region give us a kangaroo pseudo legendary
pine ingot
it would be cool if there was a Pokemon fan game or Rom Hack that had the Protag start out with a Rare Mawile that could talk

I don't want a fighting type kangaroo Pokémon
The one we have is normal type
charred spire
Then there is Breloom, which sorta has that Kangaroo like feel to how it looks. But obviously it's not a real kangaroo, just a mushroom that oddly looks like one.

Pokémon can be based on multiple things you know

What about Electric/Fighting where it keeps a batteries in its pouch? 😄
turbid horizon
Mmmm
turbid horizon
What about Electric/Fighting where it keeps a batteries in its pouch? 😄
Decent idea, with one note:
Has to be a car battery
There's something funny about an electric kangaroo powered by a car battery
jovial cosmos
That's the type of battery I was thinking of, yeah. 🙂
turbid horizon
That's the type of battery I was thinking of, yeah. 🙂
If the Joey had to be a part of the design, it could maybe be something like Gulp Missile
Some sort of ability where it's baby evo pops up from the pouch and attacks with the like
Clamps
That attach to the car battery
Jumper cables that's it
Which is funny because jump
cunning parrot
Some sort of ability where it's baby evo pops up from the pouch and attacks with...
Mega Kangaskhan

There's something funny about an electric kangaroo powered by a car battery
What if, Electric/Fighting kangaroo that keeps a Charjabug in its pouch? And maybe occasionally throws them?

it was lugia's storm that burned down its own tower and killed the legendary beasts
lugia and ho-oh were always twin deities of destruction and rebirth kind of like xerneas and yveltal, that's why they were worshiped in the first place and lived on towers that people made for them
but, though the people understood lugia's role as a deity of destruction, they'd never actually seen its uncontrollable power kill before
its storms are forces of nature, it had no intention to kill the beasts, and it felt great shame, especially when it saw the people of ecruteak grieve them, that's why it chose to flee to the whirl islands and hide in a cave to contain its power
and, also, its transgression is why the people were afraid of ho-oh's power and turned on it when it resurrected the beasts, because, having already seen comparable power firsthand, they already knew it could just as well be used to kill
ho-oh never blamed lugia, and mourns its departure, that's why it waits above the bell tower for a trainer who can bear witness to its power without judgement, because if humanity is ready to accept ho-oh, maybe they're ready to welcome its long lost friend back home

Fuck yeah I like it
Always ready for more box legendary pairs not based in rivalry
Groudon and Kyogre kind of had that on lock

It feels very Jhoto, too. Themes of mourning and duality and accepting what cannot be controlled, etc...

That does sound rather nice.

Gotta be one boring ass to play a ground type monotype team on showdown

Some people just really love Earthquake.

Lol

Another reason to hate hidden abilities: it's always weaker Pokémon that have ones that make them good
I've played through BW multiple times, I'd love to use Liepard in a playthrough
But not if it has fucking limber
Prankster makes Liepard what it is
Without it it's just a vaguely quick dark type
turbid horizon
Okay we've come to the logical conclusion that everyone must accept that all Pokémon fans are at least partially furries
But I have a more important question
In the Pokémon universe, there are many artists
These artists most likely draw/paint Pokémon.
Once they do this:
Are they furry artists?
rare trout
only if the artwork depicts pokemon with more human qualities than normal
turbid horizon
So most of them.
Because most have a smeargle.
And I guarantee they've depicted that smeargle at some point through their art
If they get paid as much as irl then I guarantee artist is the best paying job overall in the pokeverse
rare trout
more human qualities than normal
a smeargle painting is as normal as a cat purring. if they depict a smeargle, say, wearing an apron, than that's furry art
turbid horizon
Okay then where do we stand on Machoke and it's pants
Because that does seem to be a natural part of its body
Either that or they sew them
Which I think I like more
rain quarry
Machamp's pants have been confirmed in an interview to be a skin pattern and not pants, so I assume that's the case with Machoke too
turbid horizon
What if they draw Rapidash driving a car
That's more human than normal but also doesn't strike me as furry art unless the Rapidash is humanoid
rain quarry
I suppose if you drew a horse in a car it wouldn't neccesarily be furry art unless it's anthropomorphized? Idk
turbid horizon
Okay all of these guys obviously. Like let's get that out the way.
All the poke maniacs are furries
You can argue that they're mascot costumes but I don't see it
rain quarry
Perhaps "pokemaniac" is just straight-up the term for pokemon fursuiters in this world
turbid horizon
Most likely, I was thinking that
And funnily enough, with that conclusion
Hex Maniac?
Probably a furry
Just specifically a furry for ghost types.
rain quarry
Hmm, maybe. But is someone who's a fan of a particular animal a furry by default?
turbid horizon
Not necessarily
But Hex maniacs base their whole aesthetic and often their personality off ghost types, which seems deeper than just being a fan
I like wolves but I don't form packs and call myself the alpha
rain quarry
I see them more as the ghost equivelant of a crazy cat lady
turbid horizon
Specifically the Simpsons one
But that also begs the question: does it depend on the kind of Pokémon whether their trainers are furries or can any qualify simply because they're animals?
If someone was a lucario trainer, and they dressed to look like a lucario, and they adopted it's personality traits
100% furry
However:
Allister
Dresses like a ghost, acts like a ghost
Doesn't necessarily fit our world's idea of a furry, but would he count for the pokeverse?
I would argue yes
floral thunder
it's just a child going into its edgy phase?
rain quarry
He's about as furry as a person dressing up as a ghost irl, imo
rare trout
there are furries who make original species for their fursonas. he may be something like that
turbid horizon
there *are* furries who make original species for their fursonas. he may be some...
This makes sense to me
