Random Fact of the Day

Daily Pokémon that was randomly selected: Eevee!

Did you know that Gigantamax energy upped the fluffiness of the fur around Eevee’s neck? Because this Pokémon has gotten even friendlier and more innocent, Eevee will try to play with anyone around, only to end up crushing them with its immense body. Their fur will envelop a foe, capturing its body and captivating its mind!

A Paldean friend of mine messaged me saying that over the course of a picnic, one of their Pokémon laid 21 eggs.

I need to know what kind of sandwich they made to do that.

would you mind giving some headcanons about gengar as an autism helping pokemon? :))

Certainly! Gengar is actually an awesome Autism Support Pokémon, and here are a few ways that one can help in everyday life!

Gengar can lower the temperature of a room it's in by up to ten degrees! A common issue among autistic people is having trouble with regulating their body temperature, so Gengar is able to help by keeping you cool all day long!

Gengar is not a forgetful Pokémon, much like an autistic trainer. I've conducted my own research on this matter, actually! We all know that Gengar is a somewhat vengeful Pokémon, especially out in the wild, and that it will never forget the face of someone who had wronged it or someone it cares about. When put to the test in different scenarios, evidence shows that Gengar is able to remember important details such as appointments and events, and is able to, with varying degrees of success leaning towards "mostly accurate," remind its trainer of what it had been told. Take that with a grain of salt, though, as Gengar can be wrong or late sometimes, and set a reminder on your phone anyway. Just in case.

One reason that so many Pokédex entries theorize Gengar to be the reanimated souls of humans is their intelligence. Gengar is an extremely smart Pokémon, which allows for easy training to do basic, repetitive tasks in place of its trainer, such as watering plants, making short grocery trips, or checking mail, allowing its trainer to dedicate their energy to more pressing matters.

Because of its nature as a prankster, Gengar is also quite attentive to the emotions and reactions of the humans around them. Not as receptive as any Psychic-type, of course, but enough for it to notice if something is amiss, which lets it react and respond when its trainer is having, or is close to having, a meltdown. It's up to Gengar to retrieve a trusted friend or professional to assist in redirecting its trainer or, if no-one is around, to do its best at redirecting or grounding techniques by itself. This most commonly ends with Gengar removing its trainer from the environment or whatever else may be stressing them out.

On top of all of that, Gengar is a professional when it comes to eating and relaxing. If its trainer is burning themselves out on school or work, Gengar is not shy at all about dragging its trainer away from their task in order to eat, shower, and take a load off, and will not take no for an answer. It will eventually allow its trainer to return to their tasks, but it won't relent until its trainer is well-fed and well-rested before continuing.

It's important to remember that a lot of Pokémon are super smart! Many people don't give them credit where credit is due, and tend to underestimate their intellectual capabilities and their abilities to perform cognitive tasks. Not all Pokémon are quite so intelligent, though, so it's important to use one's best discretion to judge if a Pokémon is capable of performing complex tasks such as these.

Alongside Gengar, here are some other honorable mentions when looking for an Autism Support Pokémon:

- Stoutland

- Mr. Mime

- Persian

- Espeon

- Abra/Kadabra/Alakazam, any of them are fantastic for the job!

- Chansey/Blissey

- Audino

- Lucario

Dear trainers with electric type pokemons: HOW IN THE NAME OF ARCUES ARE Y'ALL STILL ALIVE???

Like, you guys get electrocuted at least twice a day, sometimes by literal lighting strikes, and you still go on about your day like nothing happened.

I DON'T NEED SLEEP, I NEED ANSWERS!!

Things that happened while I was researching pokemon in the wild

I have so many traumatic stories, and I'm going to share a few here, so people can't say professors are weak :)

-I was taking notes of a tinkaton who was fixing her hammer, and she saw me. She then proceeded to come at full speed with her giant ass STEEL hammer. Managed to escape by threatening her with a cinderace

-I was watching a flareon and leafeon battle, but the leafeon got really hurt and started smoking. If you know anything about weed, you know where this is going. I got really high and stared at a puddle for 15 minutes because I thought I saw kyogre in it

-Almost died because a greavard decided it wanted to rub against me

-I accidently ended up in a g-max den in Galar without my pokeballs (I was camping next to one and I tripped into it) and had to face a g-max Gengar. Almost died because the little bitch used his fucking death call to lure me in its mouth. Got out because my orbeetle came and saved my dumbass

-Apparently leaving a 12 year old child going through the emotional distraught of losing the pokemon league onto a godamn ice mountain with no connection to the outside world for a week in the crown tundra was a good idea. I was cold as shit, I was hungry, and I was tired. Me and all of my pokemkn had to cuddle Flash (cinderace) to keep warm

-I .had. to. fucking collect. Squawkabilly shit. For research purposes (that stuff smells AWFUL)

-I once had to write a 3,000-word essay on pikachu fur for my research tasks

-A group of grafaiai gained up on me at night. Do you know how scary it is to be hiding from 13 grafaiai at 3am like it's a fucking horror movie?

-The one time I went to Kanto, a butterfree used sleep powder on me. Idk exactly bow long I was out. All I know is that when I woke up, I was holding hands with hypno and walking it to a cave. First time I've ever physically attacked a pokemon, and the fastest I've ran (I'm never going back to Kanto).

-A major rule of being a pokemon professor: try your hardest not to interact wild pokemon. Unless you're catching them or battling them, stay out of sight!

That rule was completely broken when a bunch of newborn gible saw me and started being really curious and playing with me. Tried my best to gently push them off, but that made them sad, and they started crying. And of COURSE this alerts their garchomp mother, who is FURIOUS and has it out for my ass. I didn't wanna battle it because she had babies to care for, so I just ran. I fucking ran. From a pokemon. That flies faster. Then a jet airplane.

Here's some advice: if a garchomp is after you, and you have no pokemon, punch it as fucking hard as you can in the snout. A lot of nerves are there, and it will stun them and freeze them for about one minute, and that's when you run. This also works for sharpeado.

But yeah that's how I escaped. Not that strong so idk what miracle came over me. But I jumped off a small cliff and hid in a tiny cave until I was sure it was gone.

Those are all the stories I'm sharing for today. These were really fun to tell, so tell me if you wanna hear more!

Pokémon and Social Bonding!

So, as I mentioned a while ago, I’ve spent some time in Paldea working with local fairy types (namely Tinkatink’s line, Fidough’s line, and a few others), and one thing I’ve wanted to talk about is the unique ways that Pokémon build and express social bonds with one another. This is really important for trainers and people who work closely with Pokémon because it’s key to understanding your partner’s behaviors and needs.

Pokémon show their emotions in a lot of different ways. I’m mostly talking about Fairy types in this post because that’s one of my main research areas, but this does apply to all Pokémon.

I want to lead in with Tinkaton and it’s family, because they do a very unique form of social bonding that seems tied to their collection of scrap metals for hammer building. Since they rely on their hammers for protection, utility, and social status, the process of making these hammers is a really big part of their community bonding. Sharing scrap metals, and helping younger pack members find ore, and working together to modify hammers is how these Pokémon share their affection. Similar behaviors are seen in Pokémon like Flabébé and Klefki, who also collect items (flowers and keys respectively) as part of their social bonds. These Pokémon may try to share their items with you, or may ask for your help in collecting what they need. A great way to tell these Pokémon you care about them is to reach out on their terms and give them supplies or help for their collections! Take your Floette to a plant nursery and help it peruse the different flowers, or take your Tinkaton to a hardware store and let it learn about solid construction!

Gallade and Gardevoir, Who I’ve researched in the past, tend to express affection and kinship bonds with “guarding” behavior. This can involve patrolling territory, acting as a sentry near ‘safe areas’ (usually for trainers, this means bedrooms, dorm rooms, offices, or other places where they spend a lot of time, etc…) and getting aggressive when outside threats get too close. This type of guarding behavior is also seen in Pokémon like Granbull and Galarian Rapidash. Don’t be offended, and don’t tell them to stop doing this. They’re trying to tell you that they want you to be safe! You can show them that you trust outsiders, be gentle with them, and teach them when it’s good to be on guard and when it’s ok to meet new friends. Also, if these types of Pokémon are really struggling to acclimate, consider introducing them to a friend of the same species. This can encourage them to share the “responsibility” of guarding, and let them relax a bit. Make sure to praise these Pokémon for working hard to protect you; they’re trying to tell you they care!

Some Pokémon use more “close to home” ways to express their affection. Play behaviors and grooming behaviors are two very common ways that Pokémon like Dachsbun, Dedenne, Marill, and others engage in to develop social bonds. These Pokémon take well to games and toys (Marill, Dedenne, and other rodent Pokémon especially take well to chew toys and tug toys!!), they will groom one another and often appreciate brushing and bathing, and want to include you as a member of the social group via these activities.

And the last type of kinship behavior I’ll discuss here is what I like to refer to as “singing and dancing”- though that’s not fully accurate, I think it’s apt! Some Pokémon communicate via specific movement and vocalization patterns that are very important to their kinship groups. Clefairy, for example, have highly specialized ‘dances’ that are specific to each pack’s members. Altaria (note: not exactly a fairy type but has a lot of genetic latency, see Mega Evolution specialists for more detail) uses it’s well-developed vocal chords to produce songs and humming sounds, and Cutiefly communicate with choreographed movements similar to other beedrill-like Pokémon such as combee and ninjask. These Pokémon can be tough to understand because we often can’t make the same movements or sounds. If you want to show this Pokémon that you care, try making your own! Pokémon are very smart, and they will quickly figure out what you’re trying to do. Sing the same lullaby to them every night, or hum the same tune when you’re playing together! Play games that involve coordinated movement like hopscotch to establish a relationship between a Good, Fun thing and a pattern of movement or sound! This can really help you engage with your partner!

[sinnoh-research-and-restoration]

Thanks to modifying Fossil Restoration techniques we have managed to revive a small litter of Hisuian Zorua!

Hisuian Zorua have proven to be some of the easier pokemon to successfully revive, though also the most unstable. Unfortunately, most previous attempts at restoring them have lead to the Zorua being unpredictable and inconsistent in behavior and physiology, often simply "Fading." This is caused by their ghost typing. Being part ghost, they are more susceptible to the restoration process, though it is often difficult to keep them stable. We've been using modern Zorua and Gastly as genetic bases, though we may have to put further research into other available ghost types.

"Fading" is the process in which a ghost type slowly fades from being, sometimes leaving behind a "Corpse." In the case of the Zorua, it appears that their life force simply returns to the fossils we've been attempting to extract from.

This recent litter has, as of yet, proven much more stable, and we have high hopes!

A Series on the Trend of Ocean Waters (Part 1)

To preface this introduction, I am simply speaking on my personal experience with the Hoenn region. Although I am sure that many other parts of the world have experienced hardship with the topographical changes that have been seen over the past few decades, especially. This is simply to lay the groundwork for future returns to this topic when my breadth of knowledge on the subject has expanded.

Hoenn, for all intents and purposes, is an island surrounded by an archipelago of smaller communities that fell into the same region when land was being divvied up a long time ago (I am no historian, so take that with a grain of salt.)

Map made by 'cow41087' on DeviantArt; link to their profile will be posted at the end of this section.

Recently, through intervention from some certain group that believed flooding the world was a great idea, and slow Global Warming from CO2 emissions, sea waters have seen a drastic change throughout the whole of the oceans. Encroachment of water upon previously un-submerged land has changed the way that ecosystems interact with one another, and how certain types of species of Pokémon have either avoided, evolved, or adapted to this startling change.

As a personal aside, I recently posted on Rotomblr that I had learned that a mysterious Arbok that I had no recollection of existing had slithered into the ocean off the coast of Lilycove City, which had jumpstarted my fascination with topographical changes in land affecting the Pokémon that live there, and how certain species comingle to create new species variations. (I say "variations" and not "variants" in order to not confuse the nomenclature of regional variants of Pokémon that have adapted to a new climate.)

When I found out that this was an Arbok/Golduck hybrid, it got my brain turning on why that was even possible in the first place. Historically, Arbok is a deep-forest Pokémon and Golduck is a species that thrives by the water. That being said, it's not impossible for these two species to have met and developed some sort of symbiotic bond that led to mating. It just does not have enough empirical data to say for sure.

However, if I were to offer a hypothesis, I would say that the ever-encroaching water from the sea is presenting more room for water-bound Pokémon to investigate, forage, and hunt. This has led to an unprecedented number of developments to occur that wouldn't have been possible under any other circumstance. This is simply a way to lay the groundwork for a wider conversation on sea topography mixing into the land, giving us brand-new ecosystems and ways for life to thrive. In the next section, I will be focusing in on the various ways I have seen these changes occurring, even within the local community that I live in.

Random Fact of the Day

Daily Pokémon that was randomly selected: Farigiraf!

Did you know that Farigiraf’s psychic power is 10 times stronger than that of Girafarig? This Pokémon’s two brains are connected through thick nerves, allowing it to increase its psychic energy and unleash psychic waves through its antennae. Although Farigiraf is always observing its surroundings and its brains can instantly detect danger, its body sometimes cannot react as quickly!

I found out why my friend from Paldea was breeding so many Goomy! Turns out they do in fact wanna be a breeder, and in their area, Goomy and their evolutions are highly desired Pokemon.

As expected, though, they ended up with a few too many, so they offered to trade some to Trainers in other regions.

I couldn't say no when they asked me if I wanted one. Caramel looked too cute to decline!

As I begin my research just off the edge of Kalos I can't help wondering what pokemon I will be able to study first. Being Sinnoh-born and having spent a good few years in Kanto, Johto, and Paldea I honestly have nary a clue of what I may find here. Kalos is a new and alien place to me.

To those of you that have visited or lived in/near Kalos; do you have a favorite pokemon native to the area?

Recently my Polteageist won't come out of it's pot... I'm worried it's sick or upset? I have agoraphobia and can't take it to a Pokémon centre myself, but should I ask somebody to do that? Or is it probably ok? - @pokescribe

Hmm, well... Polteageist are known to recede when they're not in particularly good... Well, spirits. Whether this is by illness or just being in a generally bad mood. It could be feeling weak, and is "steeping" so that it can make itself stronger and more potent. Have you tried talking to it? If so, and you haven't gotten a response, it would be wise to have it taken to the Pokémon Center.

I know they recently started a remote Pokémon Center service where you can transfer its ball to the nearest Center's PC box from your phone and they can extract it there, but if you're not comfortable doing that, or it doesn't like/have its own ball, I'm sure that they wouldn't mind making the trip to pick it up and take it there themselves.

I hope everything's alright, and I wish Polteageist a speedy recovery!

Aaaahh,I see you have to deal with poachers as well. There you are such a pain, especially with the more, exotic Pokémon that reside within the sanctuary. Thankfully we have a good security system and force. Do you have any security at your place? Do you have any special procedures for when one attempts to register with you?

We don't really have to worry about the facility itself, for the most part. All the pokemon we work with are either wild or kept with members of staff, volunteers, or in our holding areas, which are all indoors as our lab is right in the middle of goldenrod city. We have a pretty good security system, but usually a locked door is enough to deter the usual people who would want to take an unguided night tour.

The wild pokemon are the ones we have the trouble with sometimes, as there's always someone who cares more about having a rare trophy than respecting protected species and pokemon. We have a dual tagging system though, both the GPS collars and the RFID chips that activate near most any pokecenter/rotomdex/rotomphone and automatically send a signal out to local rangers. It's been quite effective at keeping our wild pokemon wild. :)
