me age 7: this pokemon is named cupcake becos its random and cute
me age 12: this pokemon is named
Petri, named after petrichor, the name for the scent of rain. a close second was Nimbus, named after nimbostratus clouds in which rain forms. i was very tempted to go with Proteus, a greek shapeshifter who ruled the sea, but i realized that would be more fitting for a pokemon with a stronger attack stat. i researched these names endlessly and they took 2 hours to come up with.
me age 15: this pokemon is named sleepy becos he looks sleepy
Me at 26: this Pokemon is named ‘oh shit! he’ so when they use an attack it says: “oh shit! He used double slap!”
I hope somewhere in Pokemon canon its addressed about how there the line between human and pokemon can sometimes be thin, such as when it comes to ghost pokemon. And the implications of such.
