I mean, Hydreigon by definition:


The thing is like a mad bull for which any motion is like seeing red. It could be your teammate bending over to pick up a fallen tree branch, it could be you moving into its line of vision ... I mean, I guess you could always place a blindfold over its eyes , but that just seems very cruel to me.
I've personally always taken the Pokedex descriptions of certain species as describing their general disposition and behavior in the wild, rather then being applicable to them as a whole.

Pokemon seem intelligent enough that they can overcome their natural tendencies and instincts with the aid of a good trainer.

Hydreigon. It is The Metal.
Metaphorically. The point is, blot out its vision, whatever that entails. (Whether infrared sensors on the heads, whether smell, whether whatever.) Like I said, strikes me as cruel. And simply ignoring it ... strikes me as trying to ignore a key aspect of the creature just for the sake of trying to make it work in FB. This isn't one of those "lol Pokedex says Larvitar can eat a mountain a day " deals. This is something that the anime pretty clearly corroborates. Even if even the anime makes concessions. (As we saw with Kotetsu's Hydreigon, which totally didn't flip out and attack him, Ash, or people in the stands despite all the moving they did.)

The case is even worse with Litwick, which pretty much has universally been shown to be a soul-sucking devilchild in the anime.

If I had a Hydreigon, I wouldn't send him out unless I wanted to completely destroy something.

Googling for Eeveepocalypse, to see if UPN would be one of the first hits, instead turned up this. Enjoy.

Probably Flygon or Garchomp. Flygon was one of my favourites in Ruby, especially considering how amazing it was having your Trapinch evolve into a dragon back before the days of spoilers. He's also kind of an underdog when compared to Salamence, and I love an underdog. Garchomp was the first Pokémon I ever EV trained and boy was he a beast. I also like Latios for his design and wide movepool.

Woot, my latest A.R. post is up (and about time too), and I'm pretty proud of it too. I think it's the longest RP post for FB I've written thus far.

You know, when I first joined I was really worried I wouldn't be able to come up with good personalities for my mons like you guys all seem to so easily, but I've got just about everyone on my team sussed now. Well, all except Roggenrola (who I still need to name), but that'll come in time, too.

You know, I feel bad for Dragonair. They're so awesome, and yet everyone just uses them as a stepping stone to Dragonite. I kind of wish Dratini had a Branch evolution, evolving into Dragonair from levels 30-55, and straight to Dragonite after that, with no intermediate.

Also, a little random, but when is Dragonair going to get Fly? The Dex always talks about how it can fly, and I've seen so many depictions of them flying with the wings on their heads, it just needs to happen IMO.

Yeah that feels like it'll be fun. I've kinda started on Remoraid's and I've got some planned for Relicanth and Torkoal.

>I feel bad for Dragonair

Three years of ASBing has made me feel a lot more ambivalent toward Dragonair than before. It's bloody everywhere.

>Fly

I would make a comment about most winged bugs not being strong enough to carry a person, but I legitimately used my Hoothoot to fly me all the way to the Safari, so I'm hardly one to talk.

I like Dragonite too, but definitely admire Dragonair's dignified appearance.

Maybe they can't carry humans on their back? I can imagine they'd slide off.

Dear Arceus. That pun was so terrible my brain didn't even register it at first XD

Speaking of colours, btw, I think I need to choose a new one to write in; Dani & Escalion both write in shades of pink too, and Tess does magenta edits ... maybe cream? Or perhaps chocolate?

The lack of Diarmuid in that post makes me want to cry. Though I probably spelled his name wrong and he is probably somewhat obscure, but I no nothing on Irish mythology past what was shown in Fate and my own little personal research sessions of skimming Wiki articles.

I didn't want to go too far. I figured two Fate references were good/bad enough. ^_^; I was also far too lazy to look up which of the many romanizations of Diarmuid's full name is the most widely used.

a broken mouse + a cramping hand + MS Paint + less than five minutes = THIS IS JUST A SCHEMATIC

Above is an "I SURVIVED THE EEVEEPOCALYPSE" t-shirt design. Ideally it's a simple white symmetric silhouette of Eevee's head in the center with text formatted around the head to spell out the words "I survived the Eeveepocalypse". As you can see, "Eeveepocalypse" didn't quite fit in my original schematic (and I was too lazy to widen the t-shirt ) so a few of the letters fell off the side, but still. This is an FB t-shirt I would totally buy for $10 if someone screened them, was selling them at an FB get-together, and I was at said get-together.

A suggestion: images really help readers find out where one Pokémon's data ends and the next begins. I see you have a sprite for your starter in your post but not for your other three. Any particular reason why not? I think it'd make your post much more easy for guests to read if you included those.

It looks like you shrunk your want list. IIRC you had six or seven Pokémon listed as Tier 1 wants originally. Now you've narrowed it down to just the female Rhyhorn, the male Shroomish, and the Sableye. With any luck, you should be able to get that Shroomish before summer's end. The other two might prove more difficult as few people hatch the appropriate eggs for Rhyhorn and Sableye's eggs can only be hatched once every nine weeks.
