Pokemon Diamond - Tumblr Posts

I tried to digitally draw again.

It’s… crappy, but it’s been a while since I plugged my graphic tab. I have a lot to learn…

Anyway, enjoy a Turtwig.

Gen4 starter Pokemon

someone in pokémon sw/sh dropped a fruit roll up and it became sentient out of anger

a 6 year old just told me he had a ‘v card’ and i had the most intense feeling of dread then i remembered he liked pokemon and asked which pokemon had the v on the card and he said inteleon

In episode 46 of Pokemon Journeys Ash and Goh are trying to find Mew on an island when they get themselves washed over a waterfall, and wake up in some old tree because it was Mewtwo who pulled them out of the river

and honestly I can only imagine what he was thinking seeing Ash a third time XD (first on New Island and then Purity Canyon and now here )

i’m gonna talk about Pokemon pink because i want too

obviously we all know that that the first pokemon games, red and blue in the west and red and green in japan, were released in 1996 in japan and 1998 in america

between the japanese and western release the pokemon anime started, with pikachu as Ash’s partner, however 5 months or so before the anime’s debut there was a comic called ‘pocket monsters’ that had clefairy as the protagonist’s partner pokemon (pikachu was there but the cover made it clear clefairy was more important)

they decided to make pikachu Ash’s partner because of how popular it had become, quickly surpassing clefairy

because of red and blue’s/green’s massive success they released pokemon special pikachu edition: version yellow however in april of 2020 someone found an early concept for its canceled partner game that people are calling pokemon pink version where instead of pikachu as your starter it was clefairy, most likely because of how important it was before the pikachu switch, and had it would feature a female protagonist! which would have given us a female option two years sooner than the release of pokemon crystal!

sadly pokemon pink was canceled presumably because there was no guarantee it would sell well amongst girls, and boys probably wouldn’t have wanted it or there parents wouldn’t have bought it because it could have been perceived as to feminine

here’s the official pokemon yellow boxart next to fan made pokemon pink box art by user puddi101 on reddit

just so everyone knows my first ever shiny encounter was a ratata on route one of the rom hack pokémon heart red (by @shima-draws ) and i had no idea how to get to my pokeballs so i killed it
