So this is going to be a bit of a strange topic to discuss but I want to share with everyone a really bizarre dream I had not just because it was bizarre but also because I actually have some strong feeling related to it that I wanted to share.

So it's no surprise at this point that I am a huge fan of the Shantae series. I have been with this series since Pirates Curse and it has managed to become one of my Top 10 favourite gaming franchises and I'd be lying if I said my reason for buying the game Runbow and wanting to get Blaster Master Zero isn't because of how Shantae is a guest character in those games. However another series that I also enjoy is Mortal Kombat. For what it is I honestly get a lot of enjoyment from the series. Less because of the violent and full on finishing moves but more because of how fun they are. And given how I brought up those two franchises I think you can guess what my dream was about. Shantae guest staring in Mortal Kombat. Let me repeat that, Shantae... In Mortal Kombat. Shantae, a happy, cute and colourful half genie belly dancer in Mortal Kombat, a franchise where most of the cast consists of a literal ghost from hell, a special forces agent who is way to focused on her job, a shape shifting sorcerer that steals peoples souls, a blood thirsty monster with sharp teeth and blades coming out of his arms, an actual insect girl that can release flesh eating insects into people all the while heads are literally being ripped off and bodies being dismembered!

TL;DR, this wasn't a dream I was two happy to have had because the idea is so bad even both Matt Bozan and Ed Boon would be collectively going "WHAT?!?!" together. Long answer for people who actually want to know what my full thoughts on this is...

So I'm all for unexpected guest characters in games. I mean the last Mortal Kombat game gave us an actual Xenomorthp from the Alien franchise, a guest character I did not expect at all! And the dream I had of Shantae suddenly showing up to a Mortal Kombat fight was very unexpected. But not in a way that I liked. How my dream played out was more like the DLC Character Trailers for Injustice 2 and Mortal Kombat 11 where it starts with the character introduction then the rest of the video consists of showing off there move set. That was pretty much all my dream was though. I don't remember who Shantae faced or even see a Fatality which I am honestly glad for since I don't think I could take the mental image of Shantae tearing off someone's flesh. When I woke up that morning from that dream I tried to think of several reasons why I didn't like that dream but then I remembered "Oh yeah, I was dreaming about Shantae in Mortal Kombat." And yeah this is coming from a guy who enjoy's playing as Bayonetta in Smash Bro's and was kind of hoping Jeanne got added in Ultimate as an Echo Fighter. I can't really excuse that.

But back onto the "Shantae in Mortal Kombat doesn't work" thing that's the whole point of me making this journal. Like I said it just doesn't work for me and the fact that I had such an active dream about it makes me feel un easy. To put it simply I do not like putting cute or colourful characters in gruesome or messed up scenarios. And given what kind of game Mortal Kombat is you can understand why I felt so guilty about having this dream. This is why I have never liked Creepy Pastas that turn character such as Sonic the Hedgehog or Pinkie Pie from Friendship is Magic into murderess psychopaths because even if they are just fan created stories it's hard for me to buy them doing something as fucked up as they do in Sonic.exe or Cupcakes when I know those characters so well. Stuff like Ben Drowned I'm actually fine with since it doesn't turn any of the characters in the Zelda Universe into psycho's since it's more of an actual horror story than just "Look, here's an otherwise harmless and lovable character doing messed up and sicking stuff." It's the same reason I never enjoy fan games like Mario and the Music Box which as you can guess is a horror game staring Mario and Luigi and if you actually play the game you will know what I mean when I say "Out of place." Apparently there's even a Shantae Creepy Pasta simply called Lamp.exe but honestly given my bad experience with creepy pastas in the past, especially the .exe one's, I don't really think it would be something that I would enjoy.

You might be reading this and thinking to yourself that I'm a squeamish person and while I won't act like there isn't stuff that doesn't disturb me even at the age of 22 it would have to be something truly messed up to be able to do that. When I was a kid my parents let me play a lot of games that had blood in them like the classic Devil May Cry and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City so any sort of violence that happens in video games I'm use to, even in the aforementioned Mortal Kombat since it is a game that does have a reputation for it's Fatalities. But here's the thing, with Mortal Kombat and many other violent games out there the setting and charterers don't contradict each other in any way. You can have Mellinea dressed in the most revealing outfit she has face of agents Johney Cage while he's in a Tuxedo on a Stage that is set in an underground subway with a somewhat dark and gritty art style and it would still feel like it works. In contrast having a character like Shantae in a setting like this all the while no one else is questioning why a bright and happy girl like her is partaking in a fight to the death just doesn't gel well with me. To give you a compassion I want to take a look at another fighting game that does guest characters, Soul Caliber. While not every guest that has appeared in this series fits that well, hello Yoda and Darth Vader, characters like Ezio from Assassin's Creed in SC V and Link in the Gamecube version of SC 2 actually do fit in those game. They don't feel out of place in these games and they could even be genuine characters in those games if they were not guests. Link is mainly a sword fighter and comes from a fantasy setting not to different from SC. Ezio's a bit harder to justify since Assassin's Creed is somewhat based in reality but it's more his design that I think works with the setting. And while in Mortal Kombat there are characters like Jade and Kitana who dress in similar sort of outfits to Shantae I'm not someone who see's Shantae as being fit for an overly violent game like this. And yeah some of the ways Shantae can die in her games involve some pretty brutal stuff when you think about it like falling into Lava or spikes, getting shot, crushed, drown in quicksand, shot with arrows, drown in water before Risky Revenge allowed her to swim, digested by slime and get eaten by a giant worm who's only slightly smaller than the World Serpent from God of War but in none of those scenarios do you ever see her screaming in pain as her flesh is burnt or gasping for air as she drowns or is covered in blood or crying for help as she slowly dies while Risky Boots plunges her sword though her. I'm actually terrified to look up if art like that actually exists because knowing the internet it probably does.

I hope this at least gives people an understanding about my thoughts on this kind of subject and why I feel so strongly about it. I'm not saying that it's not an idea that couldn't work but it would be pretty fucking difficult to do so. As a random side not to end this on kind of ironic that I had this dream a day before the Shang Tsung trailer for MK11 was revealed.

Yes ladies and gentlemen, I've done it! I have officially created my own Discord server! I know some of you are eager to just hop onto it right now so here's the invite but I would appreciate if you read the rest of this journal as well because I want to get some stuff about this server of my chest. https://discord.gg/y9jn4WE

I want to explain why I'm doing this and what I plan to do with it. For a while I've actually wanted to make my own Discord server for my followers to join but I've always held off from doing it because of a few reasons. I couldn't help but think to myself "What would be the point?" I'm not a big artist. Hell most of the art on my page isn't even my own. I pay people to do art for me. But part of me also really wanted to give it a try as well. Not to mention I offten forget that I do have at least a decent following online so it wouldn't hurt that much would it? So I decided to start a poll on my Twitter asking people if I should go ahead with this. And at first a lot of the answers were no bu at the last minuet the people who voted yes outoke them. And thus my mind was made up! So, come to my Discord server. Share your interests with us! Enjoy yourself. Or don't join if you don't want to. I'm not trying to force you all into joining. I mean if I did I wouldn't be to proud of myself. Oh, and since I live in Australia and the timezones are fucked I can't promise I'll be on 24/7.

I was talking with some friends the other night and one of them asked a question. "What would your OC's move set be if they were in Super Smash Bro's." At first I didn't have a good response to it because I couldn't think of a good move set at the time especially since Mikaela isn't really a fighter. Hell if anything her Pokemon do most of the fighting anyway. But then I started to think about this question more and more and eventually I started to think of a move set for Mikaela. It probably helps to that while Smash Bro's does have characters who aren't shown doing any sort of fighting in there home games they also don't have personalities that contradict there spot in Smash either. Well aside from Isabell who I find being playable in Smash Ultimate does go agents her nature and characters in Animal Crossing New Left compared to her being an Assist Trophy in Wii U and 3DS which I find fits her more but that's not the discussion for today. I thought of pretty much everything for if Mikaela was playable in Smash including move set, alternate outfits, taunts. Now of course the chances of my OC being added into Smash are about as likely as Kayne West not having an inflated ego but I thought this would be a fun thing to think about anyway. And considering Mikaela is a Pokemon OC I think there is enough to make it work.

So how Mikaela would theoretically play out would be that a lot of her basic attacks would be mainly un-armed punches and kicks while her Smash and Special Attacks would incorporate her Pokemon into her move set. Her basic attack would like many other characters consts of three hits. She would punch, then punch again with her other first and end with a kick. Her down attack would be a straight kick forwards and her up attack would be similar to Mario's in how she punches upwards. Her basic attacks are just as I describe, basic. Since Mikaela isn't a trained or experienced fighter herself her bassic attacks would be pretty simple.

For air attacks her forward air would be a roundhouse kick in the air. Her back air would have her quickly turn around for a downwards punch making it a meteor smash. Her down air would be a downwards kick. And of course her up air would be and upwards kick. Again, this is another basic attack set.

Her Smash attacks are where she starts to incorporate her Pokemon into her move set starting with her forward Smash attack of course involving her Shiny Milotic Millie slamming her tail on the ground in front of Mikaela. Her up Smash would actually feature the sword Pokemon Aegislash, a Pokemon I don't talk about a lot but I do honestly really love, and work kind of like Gannondorf's up Smash just not as overpowered where she swings Aegislash above her. Her down special would feature Millie once again this time quickly moving circularity around Mikaela hitting anyone that comes into contact.

Just like her Smash Attacks Mikaela's Special Attacks would incorporate Pokemon in it and here is where things would get more interesting. Her Normal Special would be Millie preforming Hydro Pump which can be charged for up to four seconds for more power and if fully charged it would travel in a long and big line no different from Robin's. If Kirby swallows and copy's Mikaela he would get her hat but rather than a shiny Milotic showing up for the move it would be a normal Milotic. Her side special would have her riding on a Mudsale to ram opponents like Wario's bike. Alternatively this could be swaped out for a Gogoat. Her up special would actually feature Corviknight who despite Sword and Shield not being out yet is one of my favourite new designed Pokemon aside from Wooloo. This move would carry Mikaela upwards like Snakes Up B however it would come with a twist. If you press B while this move is active Corviknight still holding Mikaela would dive bomb downwards but because it's still holding onto Mikaela you would have to be careful not to self destruct. Again though this could be swapped out for something like Staraptor. Oh and slightly off topic for a second for some reason I keep imagining Corviknight have the same voice and personality of Griffon from Devil May Cry 5. Maybe it's that colours or something. Her down special would feature Millie once again this time using hypnosis which would stun anyone who is hit by it.

For her Final Smash I struggled a little since I actually have two ideas for a final Smash that could work. One of them was to just simply be a Z Move version of Hydro Pump that would be bigger and longer lasting version. Mikaela would even do the dance and pose just like your trainer does in Sun and Moon when preforming a Z move. The other idea for a final smash going back to the yet to be released Sword and Shield Mikaela would hit her opponents and any that she hit would be caught in a cinematic type final smash where she would dynamax Millie who would then proceed to use surf and cause a massive wave of water to crash down. Either of these two could work but I'm more of a fan of Dynamax Millie. And yeah it might be because of the un-intentional or intentional fetish fuel Dynamaxing a serpent Pokemon is.

I wanted to showcase not just Shiny Milotic but also a lot of other Pokemon that I do really love when thinking of a move set for Mikaela. Her taunts where a little harder to think of however so I did have to get a little more creative here. One of her taunts could be her just yawning. Why? To show a little bit of cockiness. That would also carry over into her second taunt where she slowly sarcastically claps. Her last taunt would be a little different with her just petting one of her cute or adorable Pokemon. Wooloo, Goomy, Plusle, any really.

Lastly are her alternate outfits. I wanted to do something a little different aside from the trend of alt outfits being recolours and while her first four outfits would be recolours of her normal outfit have at least two alts that were actual alternate outfits but both still having at least one alt. Her default outfit would of course be her main outfit she is usually seen in. Her first alt would have a red jacket and gold shirt and blue pants being a reference to her Milotic Millie. This theme of her alt's referencing Pokemon would continue into her next alt which would have a black jacket and pants with red on the ends of the jacket and dark blue shirt being a Salazzle Reference. Next she would have a alt fetuering a blue jacket with a white shirt and pants being Dragonair. Now here's where the alternates outfits get a little interesting. You may remember a while back the YCH I entered to have your Inkling OC's basically hypnotised by the Squid Sisters. However I didn't have an Inkling OC but still wanted to see if an Inkling version of Mikaela could be done and that's what this alt would be, Inkling Mikaela. The outfit she wore in that YCH might not be what she would wear here so I'll come up with one here being what I have my character in Splatoon 2 right now as of writing this being a blue denim jacket, black shirt and black pants. The alt I had in mind for Inklng Mikaela would change the colours to grey as a reference to human Mikaela. Her last two alt's would once again be another version of Mikaela this one being a recent one being Rei Mikaela from another YCH I entered with the black plugsuit, blue hair, red eyes and brainwashed expression. And of course even if you don't know anything about Evangelion and only care about the pluguits it's no surprise her alt would be Rei's white plugsuit. So in total we have four human Mikaela options, two inkling alts and two Rei Mikaelas. If we wanted to keep this strictly video game related but still keep it kink related then we could swap out Rei Mikaela for just human Mikaela cosplaying as either Zero Suit Samus, Shiek or Bayonetta.

When I sat down to write this I didn't think I would go into as much detail as I did but I'm glad I did because it was fun to think of how my OC would play if she was in Smash while also trying my best to make her unique rather than being a clone of Pokemon Trainer. Sure, the chances of this actually happening are very slim but it's still fun to theorise about stuff like this.

Because Newgorund doesn't allow you to upload art if someone else has already uploaded it, though I understand why because of art theft, here is the most recent pic I have commissioned by SuperTecnho324. https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/supertechno324/fembot-sonia-commission

Yep, that's right ladies and gentlemen, I'm jumping on the Sonia Bandwagon! Well technically it's both me and SuperTechno324 since while I did commission it he was the one who drew it but regardless. Yeah if it wasn't obvious I really like Sonia. Weather I like her as a character I'll still have to wait and see until Sword and Shield come out, she has a lot of competition with Cynthia, Lusamine and Lillie personality wise. Who knows, maybe then I'll even edit this description to involve a story based around her and how she became a fembot made to serve a higher purpose than the professor she's an assistant to. In all seriousness her becoming a Fembot actually kind of makes seance since she is the professors assistant and Fembots are basically assistance which is why I commissioned this pic. Kinky assistance but assistance neither the less. And honestly if you didn't expect fetish art of her to be made after her reveal then I don't know what to say. The last time I ever had someone involving a new character done was that story I wrote about Ember from MLP a few days after her debut so yeah this was kind of a spur of the moment thing but I'm happy I did it regardless. As much as I'd love to keep commissioning her in different kinks you know how it is when it comes to be, variety with what I commission weather it's characters or kinks. So while this won't be the last Sonia pic I have done for me it will be a very long while before the next one. I mean I haven't had a Camilla pic done for me for over a year now for example!

Pokemon Sword and Shield, the new games in the main series Pokemon series were just announced around yesterday, for me at least. While I have been out of town and had limited access to the internet I did manage to watch the Pokemon Direct and get my first look at the new games and from what we have so far I'm looking froward to it. I'd rather reserve judgement until I have the game and play it but I'm looking forward to it. And yes, I have seen the new Female Pokemon and I love her design and all the fan art I've seen of her. And yes, I have seen all the lewd ones that poped up that same day. You are all thirsty as fuck and I love it. This might actually be the first time I play a Pokemon game as a girl on my first play though, I love her that much. No promises though. And of course a new game means new Pokemon. Weather I like these Pokemon only time will tell but while I was thinking about the new Pokemon another thought came into my mind, why don't I talk about my favourite Pokemon from each gen? But if I did that people might also want to know what my least favourite's are. Okay, maybe your not that interested in what my least favourites are but either way I just though this might be a fun little thing to do. Of course if you've been following me for any amount of time you probably know what most of these will be, especially my favourite Gen 3 Pokemon. Oh and most of these are based of there design more than game play but I am still taking that into consideration.

Gen One Favourite: Dragonair.

https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/9/93/148Dragonair.png/250px-148Dragonair.png 

Yeah, let's just say this is only one of the many serpent based Pokemon your going to see on this. Not so suttble foreshadowing. But yeah starting of is the Gen One Dragon Serpent Dragonair. For as much shit as I give Gen One I do genuinely like some of the original 151 Pokemon and one of the first I always think of is the second Pokemon in the Dratin line Dragonair. It's a long blue and beautiful Dragon serpent that's 13'01" in height making it one of the longest serpent Pokemon and even if it is a pretty basic design it's still a really effective one. It being a serpent isn't the only reason I like it more than it's evolution Dragonite because truth be told I do really like Dragonite. I think it's a cute Pokemon and for a while that was my favourite of Gen One. But as I grew older I found myself leaning more towards the blue serpent more than the chubby dragon. I wounder why that is! Even if Dragonite is a better Pokemon stat wise Dragonair is still a decent Pokemon in combat having good attack for a mid evolution and an alright move pool even if you do have to go out of your way for some of it's better moves like blizzard and thunder by using TM's. But since I'm not a competitive Pokemon player that spends hours breading my Pokemon for the perfect IV's or EV's and the right nature when I could be doing better things with my time I'm fine with the way my long Dragon noddle is right now.

Gen One Least Favourite: Muk.

https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/7/7c/089Muk.png/250px-089Muk.png 

I was going to say Rattata because it's just a generic purple rat but it's evolution Raticate is actually pretty cool so I decided to let it slip. Muk is a different story. It is nothing more than a pile of sludge. No, not just that it feels like it's not even an improvement over Grimer. It just feel like a bigger Grimer. I know that sounds hypocritical considering I just got done praising Dragonair when it's not that majorly different from it's pre evolved form Dratini but at least with that Pokemon I actually like it's design in both it's evolved and pre evolved forms. Muk however I don't like it or it's pre evolved form Grimer because there designs are just gross to look at. They are just piles of sludge and Muk is a misrible pile of sludge with beddy eyes and that makes it worse. I fail to see how people can say Garbador is one of the worst because it's literal trash when Muk has existed for longer and is the laziest. And it's Alolan form isn't much better either since all they did was just make it multi coloured and throw on some pepples and called it a day! The only thing I like about Muk is that it is actually a somewhat strong Pokemon having high special defence and attack and good moves.

Gen Two Favourite: Ho-Oh.

https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/6/67/250Ho-Oh.png/250px-250Ho-Oh.png 

I never said I was excluding legendary Pokemon. Some people say Lugia is there favourite, mostly because of the second movie, but I have always been more of a fan of Ho-Oh instead. The red and white body with the golden crown like hair and tail with the faded in green wings make for a better design to look at. It just looks more noble and grand compared to Lugia. And of course since it is a legendary Pokemon it's stats are insanely high with it's best being it's Attack and Special Defence and a massive move pool including it's signature move Sacred Flames. But there's also another reason why I love Ho-Oh. Heart Gold was my first Pokemon game. I had just hit age 13 and was starting high school but before the new year began I decided to try out my first Pokemon game since I had missed out on the games as a kid and I loved it and as many of you know Ho-Oh is the mascot legendary of Gold and it's remake Heart Gold. I spent a total of 500 hours in that game alone across 2010. I don't have that save file anymore but Ho-Oh was almost always in my party and was one of the strongest. So yeah, I kind of have a bit of a personal attachment to Ho-Oh. Hey I never said this journal wasn't going to be personal. I mean you are reading a opinionated journal about something subjective after all.

Gen Two Least Favourite: Unown.

https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/7/77/201Unown.png/250px-201Unown.png 

I will give them credit they at least tried to make Unown an interesting Pokemon by having 28 different variants based of the Latin alphabet but outside of that Unown is a bad Pokemon. None of the variants look that good in any way yet your expected to catch one of each variant for... Well I don't know what you get for getting all of them since who the hell would want to fill there PC boxes with these things? And that's not even taking into consideration how worthless it is in combat having an abysmal stat total even worse than most baby Pokemon and do you know how many moves this thing can learn? One! Only one move and it's hidden power, a move so inconsistent you might as well be using a one hit KO move.

Gen Three Favourite: Milotic.

https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/3/36/350Milotic.png/250px-350Milotic.png 

And now the moment you have been waiting for. Honestly though if you didn't expect the Pokemon I made the main Pokemon of my gender swapped persona Mikaela to be my favourite Gen Three Pokemon then I don't know what you were expecting. There are a lot of reasons why I love Milotic. It's a serpent Pokemon (no shit right), it's got an beautiful and elegant design, it's actually a good Pokemon stat wise and move wise and it's shiny is one of my personal favourites. Most of my favourite shiny variants I love I am never able to get my hands on but Milotic I actually do have and it was traded to me by a friend. Oh and this isn't really a reason why I love it but it's the only serpent Pokemon that can learn hypnosis. Yeah, would you believe me if I told you something that's so well known for serpents to have Milotic is the only one who has it? I am proud to make this Pokemon my OC's main Pokemon and even if Sword and Shield adds a Pokemon I love more than Milotic this girl is still staying as Mikaela's even if the method of evolving Feebas into Milotic is always different between games and a head ache to get use to.

Gen Three Least Favourite: Luvdisc.

https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/1/1d/370Luvdisc.png/250px-370Luvdisc.png 

I'll be honest, it was really hard for me to pick a Pokemon from Gen Three that I actually hated because this gen has some of my personal favourite Pokemon. Milotic, Serviper, Absol, The Starters and Legendaries. But then you got Pokemon like Luvdisc who's like that one child in a family that even there mother wouldn't want to see outside of family gatherings. To far maybe? In any case Luvdisc is only good for one thing and one thing only, harvesting the heart scales they have a %50 chance of having when you catch one. I mean just look at it, it's a pretty plane looking Pokemon and while it does have a good speed stat that doesn't matter much when everything else is about as good as a Playstation based Smash Bro's styled fighting game. The Pokedex mentions that any couple who encounters this Pokemon in the ocean are promised everlasting love but even if I did end up getting a girlfriend I'd rather just go out to an expensive dinner location and give them an overly shiny and tasteless looking ring than this Pokemon any day.

Gen Four Favourite: Lucario.

https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/d/d7/448Lucario.png/250px-448Lucario.png 

I know saying Lucario is your favourite Pokemon is one of the most cliche things ever but I honestly do genuinely really love Lucario. It's even more ironic that it's part of my second least favourite Pokemon Type, fighting. I know fighting type Pokemon are meant to have big and huge mussels but if Pokemon ever did exist there are few Pokemon I would want to own or be given less than half of the fighting types. The overly exaggerated mussels and features make me go "Eghh". Lucario is an exception to this and I'm happy for that and it's design is really cool and doesn't make me want to vomit. It also helps that it's got good stats in both attack and special attack, especially when you Mega Evolve it. For a while Lucario was actually my main in Super Smash Bro's because of the whole aura mechanic where he gets stronger the more damage he has. And of course I can't talk about Lucario without also bringing up the one from the Pokemon Movie Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. Something I should say right now is that I rarely get involved with anything relating to Pokemon outside of the games but one day I watched this movie and it was honestly a really good movie. I'm not going to spoil it for people who haven't seen it but the Lucario in this film was once really close to a human friend hundreds of years ago before being sealed and let's just say Lucario doesn't have a very good opinion on humans after being freed and feeling like he was betrayed and has doubts about the relationship between Ash and Pickachu if it's even genuine. He doesn't try to brainwash humans or anything like Mewtwo in the first movie but Lucario as a character in the movie is one of the best.

Gen Four Least Favourite: Tangrowth.

https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/3/32/465Tangrowth.png/250px-465Tangrowth.png 

New evolution's being given to old Pokemon can really help out a Pokemon I find because it can mean Pokemon I once didn't like can get new designs and I might end up liking them. Well, Tangrowth isn't one of them. Most of what I said about Muk applies to Tangrowth two so sorry if this part is short. Of course that also means the good stuff I said about Muk having good stats also applies but I never said this was mainly about stats. It's just a mass of vines with two eyeballs and freakish long hands. I could draw that same design in just five minuets and I'm not even a drawer!

Gen Five Favourite: Serperior.

https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/b/b7/497Serperior.png/250px-497Serperior.png 

So I've just realised we are up to gen five and I haven't even put a starter Pokemon on here. Well here it is now. Oh, and it's another serpent Pokemon. Big shock, I know. True confession I never picked Snivy when I first played Pokemon Black. I had picked a fire type in Heart Gold and a grass in Platinum so picking Osowhat seemed appropriate and I'm glad I did because I love Samuraot but if I could I would go back and pick Snivy after seeing it's final evolution Serperior! I love how it looks as if it's shedding it's skin and wearing it as a coat and it gives this Pokemon a more royal appearance than most and I also like how it's evolutionary line is based of how some snakes do start out with legs but lose them as they get older. One complaint I see people always have is that it has bad stats and while I won't act like that's not true is it really that bad? I mean it's got high defence and special defence so it can take a hit or two. You guys do know that most grass types are made to be defensive right? That's why I honestly groan and roll my eyes whenever someone says Chickorita is the worst starter Pokemon because it's like they are using it wrong.

Gen Five Least Favourite: Watchog

https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/3/3e/505Watchog.png/250px-505Watchog.png 

Were you expecting Garbador or Vaniliux or something? I hope not because Watchog is far worse than any of those Pokemon everyone loves to hate. And besides I write these opinionated journals based on what I think, not what others think. When I first saw Watchog I honestly went "What in gods name am I looking at right now!?" The thing is it's pre evolved form Patrat really isn't that bad. I mean yeah it is the typical rodent Pokemon of this gen but honestly I kind of like it. Once it evolves into Watchog though it's like not even the same species anymore! What the hell is this design? I mean it's got crazy blood shot eyes and yellow stripes painted in a way that makes it look like a safety vest, no really what am I looking at? Oh, and it has bad stats. Shocker, I know.

Gen Six Favourite: Delphox.

https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/2/21/655Delphox.png/250px-655Delphox.png 

When I tell people my honest opinion on Delphox the reaction I get is one of genuine surprise because there are a lot of people out there that say Delphox is one of the worst Pokemon. And while I respect people's opinion I always just go "Really? THIS is the worst Pokemon? In the same game that has a fucking key ring as Pokemon?" Oh yeah, spoilers for my least favourite by the way. Because to me Delphox is one of the best Pokemon of X and Y. I honestly really like the mage inspired design and maybe it's just because I like fox's in general and it's shiny kind of make it look like a witch. And honestly after three games where the fire starter was part Fighting type I was just so happy to have Delphox finally break that trend. Not to mention it's special attack and special defence are really high and appropriately so for what's basically a wizard Pokemon. I'm probably the only person in the fanbase that likes Delphox enough to keep picking it every time I play Pokemon X and that's fine with me.

Gen Six Least Favourite: Klefki

I hesitated to put Klefki on here because this Pokemon is kind of like a guilty pleasure for me especially when you consider how good it is in game but lets be honest, Klefki design wise is a terrible Pokemon. I know inanimate object Pokemon are a common thing in the series but if they can make a chandler awesome with Chandalure then why can't they make a key chain? Especially considering we have Agislash in this same game and that things a Sword and Shield in one! Insert you joke about how Gen Six predicted the new Pokemon games here. Right now it feels like I'm just looking at a set of keys and nothing else. Again, in game play it's actually really good. Because of it's typeing of Steal and Fairy it's only real weekness is fire but if I'm going to use an inanimate object Pokemon Chanderlure and Agislash will always be my preferred picks.

Gen Seven Favourite: Lunala.

This was my soul reason for choosing Moon and Ultra Moon over Sun and Ultra Sun. However I didn't expect it to be my number one favourite Pokemon out of all the great and well designed Pokemon of Gen Seven. Yes, I said I liked the Pokemon of gen Seven. No I'm not going to apologise! Lunala is this big cosmic moon bat who looks like the queen of the night or something as well as being two of my favourite types in the series, Ghost and Psychic. I say queen because despite not having a shown gender in game the Pokedex does imply that it is a girl. Not to mention if you played though the games story and got so attached to the character Lille like I did then this Pokemon means a lot more to you from a story perspective than you might think considering her Cosmog becomes the Lunala you get (or Solgaleo if you have Sun version.) And of course being a legendary Pokemon it has very high stats and powerful moves. It even has it's own Z Move which is honestly one of the best looking in the game I find. Long story short, I love Lunala, it has a really cool design, it means a lot to me from a story perspective and nothing anyone can say about Gen Seven will ever change my love for this Pokemon.

Gen Seven Least Favourite: Incineroar.

As I write why I don't like what might be the most popular Pokemon in Sun and Moon I can at least look on the bright side. When the police find my lifeless body in a shallow ditch tomorrow morning they will see this journal and know what my cause of death was. Yes, I do not like Incineroar in any capacity. And it really sucks two because I actually like it's pre evolved form Litten. I mean I was on the Popplio Defence Squad from day one back when it was the cool thing to hate Popplio but I always did kind of like Litten. Once it became Incineroar though it's like it becomes a different Pokemon entirely and when I saw it I went "Welp, I'm glad I'm choosing Popplio as my starter! I'll take the singing seal anyday." Remember how I said I didn't like a lot of the muscular Pokemon earlier? Well while Incineroar isn't so bad in that regard I'm still not into how it looks. I'm glad it's not another Fire Fighting type starter but even still that doesn't excuse it. It's meant to be based of a wrestler but the only thing related to wrestling I can see in it's design is the belt. And it's limbs don't even look like it's fit for wrestling in the first place with how skinny they are. I will say though that it is a decent Pokemon in game with a high attack stat but that's as far as my praise will go. And people still wounder why I never play this thing in Smash Bro's Ultimate.

And that's it. That is all my favourite and least favourite Pokemon from each generation. I can't stress enough how this is all just purely my own opinion and if I said anything bad about a Pokemon you like (which given how I said Incineroar is my least favourite Sun and Moon Pokemon won't surprise me) that does not mean I'm saying you should hate that Pokemon two. But you know there are so many Pokemon out there that I love that it was hard for me to pick only one Pokemon from each generation since of course there are going to be some I love more than others. Here's to Pokemon Sword and Shied and the Pokemon you bring to the already large roster of monsters. And here's hoping you don't get treated by the fan base the same way they treated Black and White hating it when it first came but now everyone saying that they love it and that they have always loved it. Then again that's been happening since Ruby and Sapphire so it wouldn't surprise me.

So after some consideration if I really wanted to do this I finally decided to create this acount a few days ago. I'll be honest the reson I haven't created a Newgrounds acount until now isn't just because of any of the shit happening on Tumbler, is because I have had this really bad opinion of Newgrounds in the past because the only thing I ever saw on this site was poorly made flash animations with low quality. Even back in 2010 when I first discovered this site and was only just going though pubity I didn't enjoy this site that much. I am so glad I don't have that perception anymore because Newgrounds is more than that! I can't promise that I'll be as active on here as I am on DA but it's here incase shit goes bad and I'll still post some stuff here.
