        that in terms of human companionship, Flareon is objectively the most huggable Pokemon? While their maximum temperature is likely too much for most, they are capable of controlling it, so they can set themselves to the perfect temperature for you. Along with that, they have a lot of fluff, making them undeniably incredibly soft to touch. But that’s not all, they have a very respectable special defense stat of 110, which means that they are likely very calm and resistant to emotional damage. Because of this, if you have a bad day, you can vent to it while hugging it, and it won’t mind. It can make itself even more endearing with moves like Charm and Baby Doll Eyes, ensuring that you never have a prolonged bout of depression ever again.

      Yes, but after naming my first child Bulbasaur and my second one Venusaur, I’m not sure I can sire enough children to fill in the first 150, let alone the full roster…

        They know the most well known Pokémon thanks to merch and a few old cards that my wife and me had when we were children and conserved.

        My oldest watched a few episodes when she was 5, and “read” a Pokémon manga after (she watched the images, she didn’t know how to read). I promised her that I will teach her how to play the cards when she’ll know how to read … I will keep my promise and buy her her own deck for her 7th birthday :-)

          That’s adorable. I’m so excited to be able to share this with my kids too.

          My oldest only knows the name “Charmander” from a stuffed animal, but that’s it.

        I got my kiddo playing around 4 or 5. Mainly just watching. Eventually he started playing games like Coromon, and other monster catchers. The newest Pokémon sadly haven’t run well on his switch either, so I’ve been trying to get him on the older but still favorites like Pearl or Diamond.

            I noticed while making this list that Lickitung was incorrectly spelled “LIKITUNG” on the third day.

            Edit: Also, for Nidoran♂ vs Nidoran♀ you have to look at the picture to distinguish since they just say “Nidoran” but they do say it twice!

          That’s pretty good! But… that’s only 147. :-)

          Nidoran♀, and Nidoran♂ are separate and you’re missing Nidorina, Nidoqueen, and also Rhydon.

          Some other corrections:

          • Pigeotto -> Pidgeotto
          • Ninetails -> Ninetales
          • Diglit -> Diglett
          • Primape -> Primeape
          • Duouo -> Doduo
          • Cloysyer -> Cloyster
          • Ghastly -> Gastly
          • Electrabuzz -> Electabuzz
          • Gyrados -> Gyarados
          • Omantyte -> Omanyte
          • Arodactyl -> Aerodactyl

          (Yes, I looked it up. No, I have no life. :p)

              Aww, I’m not trying to stomp anyone. :(

              I was just curious if it was actually the full list and before I knew it I’d spent 45 minutes checking Pokemon names to figure out what was missing, so I figured I’d share the corrections.

              If Kolanaki got that close just from memory, that’s pretty impressive! I had to look it up!

    i can remember all of them from when i was a kid, but that number has since tripled. if i was a kid now i don’t think i would be able to learn all of them in the first place!

      Triple isn’t that bad. I knew 151 and then the main ones from the next few games (and didn’t learn all the names, I don’t remember any of the middle evolutions) but there are 1025 now

        It’s a shame they didn’t clue into the regional variants sooner. I love all the different Meowths. Would have been cool if each new game was remixes of existing pokemon.

        Instead of the increasingly humanoid and spikey looking digimon they’ve been coming up with.

          I wish they had better games rather than just new coats of paint

          Imagine how creative they would have to be if they were restricted to only the first 151 for the last 25 years

    If I need to say the names of the pokemons I’ll forget something like Tangela, but if I see the image of the pokémon I can remember the name. Things get fuzzy at the same time that I stop watching the anime.

    It’s the companys fault for looking at the 151 and saying, what if we replaced all this with random bullshit? I miss the og pokemon. I tried playing newer games but damn, it’s pure chaos.
