Welcome to Pokemon Cupboard, a world for fans of all things Pokemon!

This is a world where I’ll be posting various things about the Pokemon franchise. Here I plan to talk about some of my favorite Pokemon, favorite locations in the games, perhaps reminisce about playing the games or my favorite episodes of the anime, and maybe much more.

About Me

I got into Pokemon during the mid to late nineties. At first didn’t want anything to do with Pokemon. Back then it was part of my nature to rebel against all things popular. But my opinion about Pokemon changed significantly after seeing the first four or five episodes of the anime. I got into the series and soon wanted to play the games. That Christmas I believe I had received a Gamboy Color and the Blue version of the Pokemon game.

Eventually I also played the Red and Yellow versions, mostly to see how they differed from Blue. I played the games that followed up until Ruby and Sapphire. At that point the anime had started to go downhill. I really didn’t like it when they replaced Misty with that girl May and her annoying little brother Max (god how I loath him). The games started to lose their appeal too. I didn’t like how Ruby and Sapphire didn’t have a lot of the Pokemon from previous games. Of course at the time I didn’t realize that they were going to do remakes of the first generation games.

Still, by that point I was no longer as into Pokemon as I once was. My focus had turned more to Yu-Gi-Oh! and other things. But I still keep tabs on the Pokemon franchise. I think that the anime is a lost cause, but I have read about the newer games, some of which actually look pretty good. I’m also currently working on a Pokemon Fan Fiction project. So in short I’m basically an old-school Pokemon fan.

Guest Posters

My interest in Pokemon ebbs every now and then. So to make things more fun and keep this world alive, I’m going to allow other Pokemon fans here on TheO to post things here. So like me you could post things about your favorite Pokemon or talk about your favorite anime episodes. But you can do so much more too.

  • If you play the games, you could use this world as sort of a journal and share your adventure with everyone. It doesn’t have to be the mainstream Pokemon games either; it could be Pokemon Conquest or one of the consol games.
  • Another use for this world could be to post Pokemon fanfics you may have created. Or perhaps share the profiles of your Pokemon OCs (if you have any).
  • Maybe you have some big Pokemon related art project you want to share. You could use this world to chronicle its creation.

You could do all that and much, much more. As long as it has to do with Pokemon, the sky’s the limit. So if you’re interested in becoming a guest poster, or maybe just have a few questions, please contact me via comment or PM and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.

Updated Design

As many of you have probably noticed, I've updated the design of this world yet again. I found a screenshot from the original opening of the anime featuring Mew flying through space, which is my favorite part of the opening. And I used it for the new background image. I may tinker with the rest of the design a little because I don't think it looks perfect yet, but I think it's better than what I had before.

By the way, I'm still looking for guest posters for this world. Just throwing that out there.

SoulSilver Playthrough Journal - Day 1

Name: Soul
Team: Nami - Chikorita - lv. 8
Badges: 0

~~~

So I've decided to replay SoulSilver, one of if not my favorite Pokemon game. And I'm gonna keep a journal about it! Yay! (bad at intros)

I've also decided that this playthrough I'm going to use Pokemon that I wouldn't normally think to use. That's actually why I've chosen Chikorita--because I never really liked it all that much, and I want to try using it. I know this means the first few gyms are gonna be hell, but whatever! :D

Anyway, so here's what went down today when I played. My Chikorita's name is Nami, and she has a Naughty nature. Not that I really pay attention to natures, but in case there's someone here who does....I did restart the game three times in order to get a female Chikorita <.< >.> But that's not such a big deal, right? XD I went on my way to see Mr. Pokemon, fighting NOTHING BUT FRICKIN HOOTHOOT (it's evening, that's probably why), then came back and beat up my favorite rival in all the Pokemon games ever. EVER. I mean what? It was a rather easy battle, since I was two levels higher. I named my rival Silver, being completely unoriginal and giving him his manga name. And I decided to let my mom save my money. I really like that feature--that way, if I get defeated, I don't really have to worry about my money ^^;

Well, that's all that really occurred. I've decided that I'm going to set up my journal in this way: I'll always have my current team and their levels at the top, but when I get a new Pokemon I will mention it, its nature, and its moveset. I'll also make note of when Pokemon learn new moves. Hopefully that works out and won't be confusing!

New Pokemon:

Nami
Chikorita - Female
Nature: Naughty
Tackle, Growl, Razor Leaf

Thanks again to Darkarax for having me on this world! ^^
