The Wolves' Hideout [A Canine Pokémon Group]

[WH]

Welcome!

Current Topic:

○ What item does your partner value the most?

Current Side-Topic:

○ What would you add or change in the RSE remake?

Current Member Topic:

○ Who listens to music the most?

Anyone is allowed to start a new topic.

Wondering how to join? Simply post saying say so! You may choose a wolf Pokémon to be your partner, as well as a nickname for it (which is also optional).

1. Follow the PokéCommunity and Pokémon Group rules.
2. Please don't go off topic; anything not Pokémon related is not allowed.
3. If you have a question, check out the FAQ before asking!


What is a partner?
A partner is just a wolf Pokémon to have listed by your name in the Members List. We may have topics that ask you to describe its personality and such. Credit to The Toddler's Playground for offering us this idea.

Can I nickname my partner?
Yes, you may change it later as well.

Is there a limit to how many people who can have the same partner?
Nope, there can be as many people as possible with the same partner.

What is a topic?
Basically, a topic is used to spark a discussion about something wolf Pokémon related.

What is a side-topic?
A side-topic is the same as a topic, except it can be anything non-wolf Pokémon related. So, anything wolf Pokémon related should be a topic, and anything about Pokémon in general should be a side-topic.

What is a member topic?
Just like the other topics, member topics ask what WH member fits the topic best. This is mainly for members of the Chatroom, since we know each other well and such. Also, member topics are usually not serious, and just us joking around. :P

How does this group decide if a Pokémon is considered a wolf/canine?
If the Pokémon is debatable, we hold a vote for anyone in WH to vote.

Why does the WH include Pokémon that are foxes?
This is a canine Pokémon group, and not just wolves regardless of the name. Canines include wolves, foxes, jackals, coyotes, and domestic dogs. If WH was only for wolves, we would have a small selection!

Still have a question unanswered? Ask in this thread!

We have a MSN Group, which is our most used chatroom. In addition to that, we also have a Xat chatroom, but it's no longer used anymore except for group drawing occasionally.

As for chatroom rules, we are generally laid back and the only rules are the obvious: no spamming, trolling, flaming, porn, etc. Note that the chatroom topics are broad, and is not restricted to just Pokémon.

THIS IS THE BANE OF WH.

Sometimes we have a game that we play, similar to Other Trivia games (i.e. the one above). We may also have events like Pokémon game challenges, tournaments, and so on.

Interested in starting a game? Private message us your idea.

This is what we consider wolf Pokémon! Some of them may be questionable, but this reflects most of the group's opinions:

Spoiler:

Now, remember this is a canine Pokémon group, which includes wolves, foxes, dogs, coyotes, and so on (Wolves' Hideout is just the name...). The Eeveelutions look very similar to foxes, specifically the Fennec Fox. Additionally, they could be loosely based on the Japanese legend, Tanuki, which is a Raccoon Dog that is able to transform. While Raccoon Dogs have "Raccoon" in their name, they are not related raccoons or badgers at all, and is actually part of the Canidae family.


Entei is mainly a lion, yes, but it does have a few traits from large dogs. Entei's face and paws are somewhat dog-like in our opinion. This very subjective, so we held a vote whether or not to keep it, and close to majority wanted it to stay.


Suicune is the most canine-like out of the legendary beast trio. Suicune looks like a mix between a Maned Wolf and a Cheetah.


You're probably thinking, "...what?" Well, as stated earlier, Raccoon Dogs are part of the Canidae family. Zigzagoon seems very likely based on a Raccoon Dog than a Raccoon; even more so with the fact that Tanuki is a Japanese legend in addition to Raccoons not being native to Japan. However, I am not saying Zigzagoon has no Raccoon features, but it is more likely Game Freak based it on a Japanese animal/legend since this is a Japanese game.


This depends really (and probably the most debatable of the wolf Pokémon in my opinion), but it may be loosely based on the Barghest, which is a legendary black dog. We held a vote on Absol as well, and most of group agreed to keep it.


Shaymin Sky forme resembles a young terrier-type dog. Note that Shaymin's original forme is not considered a wolf Pokémon.


Clearly they are a kitsune, a shape-shifting mythical fox. That explains why they have the Illusion ability as well.

You can contribute art you done by posting them in this thread! It may be anything appropriate, but preferably wolf related. Remember that you can draw with others by using the Xat chatroom!

[ChaoSong]

Hoping to join the pack.
Name: ChaoSong

+subscribed thread.

[Pave Low]

I'll join again...Because Wolflare asked me to!

Partner: Lucario
Nickname: Aura

I'm quite glad that this is back!

[Wolflare]

Updated! I couldn't find a small Zoroark sprite so I'll use text for it until B/W is released!

[Pave Low]

A new topic would be nice...

Well, I was going to wait until everyone rejoins, but I'll post some anyway.

Topic: If there was a new wolf Pokémon in B/W, what features or typing would it have, and what does it look like?

Topic: Do you prefer an Xat chatroom, or a MSN Group (unless there is other options that don't require making a server and all)?

Fire Type as you can see.

It'd be colored Black and White o_o Something or maybe a black and white striped Wolf. o_o; Sounds like a Zebra. =S

Topic: Do you prefer an Xat chatroom, or a MSN Group (unless there is other options that don't require making a server and all)?

I prefer MSN group chat. Never heard of/used Xat Chat

[Munch Dog]

I s'pose I'll rejoin. Kinda nice to have this place back.

Partner: Growlithe
Nickname: Ralphie

[Pave Low]

Do you prefer an Xat chatroom, or a MSN Group (unless there is other options that don't require making a server and all)?

MSN Group, since sometimes people struggle with Xat like I did. It would be a lot easier to get around with an MSN Group!

[zappyspiker]

WH is Back! I can see the CSS has gotten even better than last time

Name: Zappyspiker
Partner: Poochyena
Nickname: Zcyler


Topic: If there was a new wolf Pokémon in B/W, what features or typing would it have, and what does it look like?
Can't imagine yet but I hope it's electric or Dark Type

Topic: Do you prefer an Xat chatroom, or a MSN Group (unless there is other options that don't require making a server and all)?
I don't mind MSN but I prefer Skype nowdays

Well, it would be harder with Skype since not everyone has it or knows how to get it. MSN would be easier and there would be a lot less hassle...

[Spinosaurus]

Joining, wolf. ;o I want Mightyena as my partner, no nickname.

[Pave Low]

Since it's my PC Anniversary tomorrow, I may feel like doing Art for this group :D

[OokamiShipper]

I'd like to join this time! :3
With houndoom as my partner, with the nickname Shadow. ♥

[Spinosaurus]

If there was a new wolf Pokémon in B/W, what features or typing would it have, and what does it look like?
Idk. But I want a Water or Ice type wolf. o:

Do you prefer an Xat chatroom, or a MSN Group (unless there is other options that don't require making a server and all)?
I prefer Xat, I just don't like MSN group.

[Wolflare]

Topic: If there was a new wolf Pokémon in B/W, what features or typing would it have, and what does it look like?
Dark / Ice, it fits a wolf best in my opinion.

Topic: Do you prefer an Xat chatroom, or a MSN Group (unless there is other options that don't require making a server and all)?
MSN Group, it's more convenient because I don't need to open another tab for it. I can connect to MSN easier if my connection is slow, and people who use their phones a lot can't connect to Xat. MSN also has a cleaner layout I think.

[Kaori]

Because I have no choice, and I love this place so much I'll join.
Ninetales will be my partner and it won't have a nickname. :P

Topic: If there was a new wolf Pokémon in B/W, what features or typing would it have, and what does it look like?
I'd have to say a Dark/Ice type like Wolflare. One would look epic at night. xD;

Topic: Do you prefer an Xat chatroom, or a MSN Group (unless there is other options that don't require making a server and all)?
I prefer an MSN group. xat chats are cool too, and both can do games as well, but MSN is more easier in my opinion. Xat doesn't blink when someone says something in the chat so if you're on a different tab/window you wouldn't be able to know if someone is talking unless your volume is on. which half of the time my volume is off
MSN windows blink orange.

[Wolflare]

Updated! Thanks for joining everyone, we appreciate it.

Oh, and to add on, MSN Groups don't have random SPAMers (though some can be fun lol :x).

[Munch Dog]

Topic: If there was a new wolf Pokémon in B/W, what features or typing would it have, and what does it look like?
I'd say Steel... as much as I dislike the steel type I'm kinda interested in what a steel type wolf would look like...

Topic: Do you prefer an Xat chatroom, or a MSN Group (unless there is other options that don't require making a server and all)?
I... don't really use either. So uh... yeah.

Steel-type Wolf? Wouldn't it look like those Robot Pets. like iDog. Except in this case a wolf.

I'd imagine it'd look a little like this :

I'd probably do some art too! haha it was my PC Anniversary 2 days ago XD

[The Wave]

Aww yeah, the WH is back! Rejoining for sure!
Partner is, obviously, Espeon without a nickname.


Topic: If there was a new wolf Pokémon in B/W, what features or typing would it have, and what does it look like?
It would be most likely fire type. That's what my guts are telling me. XP

Topic: Do you prefer an Xat chatroom, or a MSN Group (unless there is other options that don't require making a server and all)?
I already said my opinion, but I'll say it here again:

Both have their pros and cons.
Xat is easy to use for everyone, doesn't need an account (except the admin) etc.
MSN has no problems with cookies or whatever, is more reliable etc.

So yeah, I say we should use both.

That would be an awesome wolf. Which Nintendo lack in the new gens.

[Wolflare]

Since pretty much everyone wants a MSN Group instead of Xat, here is the link (I'll find a better picture later). Feel free to join and I'll accept you, I invited everyone who has their MSN displayed on PC (unless I did it wrong or something lol).
