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.

Once again it’s time for one of my Interesting Specimen posts. The two Pokemon that are the subjects of this post are a little more than interesting, they’re spooky. I’m speaking of two of the fifth generation’s Ghost Pok...

2nd Guest Poster

I'd like to announce the second guest poster for this world, dfdfdfdf. My friend Amestar suggested that I ask him to join and he seemed to like the idea.

As I've mentioned a few times before, if anyone else is interested in becoming a guest poster, please contact me.

SoulSilver Playthrough Journal - Day 2

Team:
Nami - Bayleef - lv. 18
Zoro - Onix -lv. 8
Badges: 1

~~~

Well finally I am back again with another day of SoulSilver. As you can see from my little summary, I've gotten a bit done. Nami evolved as I was training her at Sprout Tower and learned PoisonPowder not too long before she did. Using PoisonPowder, I took out Faulkner, Violet City's Flying Type Gym Leader, with ease. But not before freaking out that I couldn't get another member of my team until after the battle. You know, I SWORE you could get into Route 36's tall grass and catch some Pokemon before making the Sudowoodo leave, but I guess not.

But anyway, using a combination of PoisonPowder and Tackle, Faulkner was no match for my Bayleef. The super-effective hits did little damage, which pleasantly surprised me. And tada! First badge!

After that, I was given the Egg by Professor Elm's aide, and was approached by a geisha girl who creeped me out a bit. I'm pretty sure she's only in the remakes, but whatever. Yay!

And so I exited Violet City, avoiding almost all trainer battles because I'll need them for training new team members. And speaking of which, I caught an Onix in Union Cave! And he was a JERK to catch, let me tell you. I was pulling my hair out looking for a male Onix. I swear, it must have taken me over an hour. And that was with a 10% chance of finding one. Just wait. There's a Pokemon on my team of a specific gender I want that only has a 1% chance of appearing. GAH. (dies a little inside)

But that's it! Nothing else really happened. I'm saving the rest of Union Cave for the next time I play. We're coming up on one of my favorite Pokemon villains of all time! :D

Until then, ciao!

New Pokemon:

Zoro
Onix - Male
Nature: Relaxed
Tackle, Harden, Bind, Screech - considering replacing Harden with Rock Tomb
