Zapiarty

Team Rocket TRio, of course, but if we’re talking just the games I’ve always been a Team Magma person. Team Skull I have sympathy for and I love their look aesthetically.

The criteria for where I’d live have to be a) near water, b) near forest or mountain, c) a region with Pokemon I love, d) either easy travel or good shopping. I seriously cannot imagine living in a landlocked town without any water nearby so it resulted in the following list of top ten places I would live in Pokemon: Mossdeep, Hoenn (space nerd, plus ocean, plus favorite region) Canalave, Sinnoh (coastal, favorite Pokemon nearby (Lucario), great library) Lilycove, Hoenn (coastal city with good shopping and great pokemon nearby) Anistar, Kalos (coastal, gorgeous city) Fortree, Hoenn (treehouse. Need I say more?) Levincia, Paldea (coastal, good shopping, decent Pokemon, but too loud) Laverre, Kalos (the autumn halloween vibes override my usual preferences) Slateport, Hoenn (coastal, good shopping, lowkey) Sunyshore, Sinnoh (coastal, high tech city, though closed off most of the game) Blackthorn, Johto (the place I, a dragon type trainer, decided I would live when I was a child, so had to make the list despite not meeting most of my requirements)

I played Pokemon Go near daily for nine years…but I’ve dropped off since March. Now I get my Pokemon mobile fix from Pokemon Sleep (which has bullied me into a healthy sleep schedule regardless of what day it is) and Pokemon Pocket.

While personally I’m fine with the current level of difficulty; after all one can always have self imposed rules like nuzlockes if one wants more of a challenge, if they keep open worlds I do wish they would have level scaling depending on badge numbers.

Rookidee has a special place in my heart for many reasons, including that I found a shiny one early game in the first day I played Shield on release day and it kickstarted my becoming a shiny hunter. I also love corvids so it was really fitting that this line became my favorite early catch.

I think it would be fun and interesting to have an in depth aura game with Lucario. An aura guardian game set before Hisui era (like the movie with Sir Aaron)?

I played FireRed as a kid, so now I’m going to give LeafGreen a go. Beyond picking Bulbasaur I’m not sure what team I’m going to go with…I’ve picked Char and my OG was Squirt so I’m going with something new.

My favorite is the duskball because when it was first introduced it helped me catch some of my favorite pokemon (who often spawned in caves & at night) then of course the luxury ball! Hard to go wrong with black and gold. I’m also fond of the moon ball, but don’t use it as often as I’m always nervous to use ones I can’t just buy more of…

I have many favorite humans in Pokemon, but top five are: Cynthia Lillie Corbeau Cheren Ruby (manga) Honorable mention: Team Rocket

Pokemon is part of all my holidays! This year thanks to the Pokemon Center selling wrapping paper, all the gifts I’m giving are wrapped in Pokemon paper. And my friends who have small children are getting Pokemon themed gifts (various plush and books for them) and my older friends who also love Pokemon are getting Pokemon sweaters and mugs! I’m also planning on baking Pokemon sweets from the cookbooks; mainly Rockruff chow & Appletun hand pies

I’ve always been super fond of the Orange Island series and their unique Pokemon before regional variants were a thing. So Crystal Onix would have to be my absolute favorite (one day may we get it in game with perhaps a new typing?) but despite the fact I’m not fond of the color pink, the Pinken Island Pokemon are so iconic! Food changing Pokemon colors is soooo fascinating!

Started hunting for shiny pumpkaboo while I waited for trick or treaters, and amazingly got one in less than half an hour!

Pokemon Colosseum & XD Gale of Darkness will always have a very special place in my heart.

Five hours attempting to hunt in the Savannah Biome, gave up and started breeding for it, 219 eggs later and I got it!

Flygon, but I’ve all but resigned we’re never gonna get one. Also Zoroark! I feel like they could have a great mega!

I’m going to be hunting shiny Fennekin both for fall (the shiny fox makes me think of witchy Halloween) and in prep for ZA next week. Here’s hoping I can find it in time!

I made a gym team almost a decade ago, back in 2016, and I stand by it for the most part. (The Zoroark & the Liepard wear little jester collars and that’s the image on the badge) Trick Badge; Must have six badges to challenge Order: Murkrow "Matthew" Super Luck Lv. 45 Night shade, Foul play, Sucker punch, Tailwind Sableye "Eris" Keen Eye Lv. 45 Shadow sneak, Zen Head butt, Aerial ace, Poison jab Zoroark (as Liepard) "Reynard" Illusion Lv. 47 Dark Pulse, Flamethrower, Shadow ball, Nasty Plot "Ready for this trick?" Whimsicott (shiny) "Pan" Prankster Lv. 47 Energy ball, Psychic, Shadow ball, Giga drain Liepard "Puck" Limber Lv. 49 Night slash, Shadow claw, Payback, Iron tail

Mimikyu for me, I love ghost types already and the story of Mimikyu wanting to be loved and thus hiding as the beloved Pikachu just got to me.

It took delayed flights, four hours of sleep, and four GameStops but I got my code!

The order is in! Eventually I’ll organize them all better, planning on another hammock.

I recently reached 600 unique plush, though am getting close to 650 after the Alolan sitting cuties, Halloween specials, along with other recent plush. I have a spreadsheet where I log them all to make sure I don’t get repeats.

I’ve gotten quite a few since this photo, but this is the most recent photo of my collection! I’m planning on doing another once my Alolan sitting cutie order gets in.

My favorite is Umbreon for sure. Dark being a favorite type and Umbreon’s shiny being simply amazing. I also really like the Sun/moon theme for Espeon & Umbreon (preferring moon) which plays into my affection for them.

The last forum I was on was ages ago (on the Warrior Cats forum back when the only arcs out were the first two if anyone remembers that…) so I’m not entirely sure what I’m doing but I’m gonna try anyway! My name is Zapiarty or Zappy and I’ve been playing Pokemon since 1998. I’ve watched the show, collected the cards and figures, but my biggest passion is collecting the plush. It’s my proudest collection. My favorite type is dragon, with ghost & dark tying for second. I have a Pokemon tumblr blog that I post all my Pokemon thoughts on: masterzapiarty.tumblr.com

Because I live in an area with next to nothing entertainment wise, I will be flying to visit a friend in order to go obtain these. Nothing will get in the way of me obtaining Shiny Koraidon!!
