#384 Rayquaza

Pronounced this name wrong for years. xD

 

[Roni]

385 - Jirachi

i actually believed in that mossdeep space center myth where you could get jirachi if you talked to that white rock outside for a set amount of times. never felt more like an idiot when i found out the truth lmao.

#386 Deoxys

One of the ugliest Legendaries, both in terms of design and colour. The form change thing is pretty cool, but...bleeech. Not something I ever wanted to use.

 

[Roni]

387 - Turtwig

AAAAA so glad to land on this lovely lil turtle. what a better way to start the sinnoh dex than with the best grass type starter ever?

#388 Grotle

One of the "okay" middle evos...there are so very few of these.

 

[Roni]

389 - Torterra

it's got a mf tree on its back, and it learns Earthquake immediately. how could one NOT love this thing?

#390 Chimchar

Ugh...a monkey. UGH.

 

[Roni]

391 - Monferno

next evo's name is also based around the word inferno, which tells me GF ran out of names early lmao

#392 Infernape

Fire/Fighting and a monkey? I loathe this thing >.>

 

[Roni]

393 - Piplup

i remember Dawn saying if i chose Piplup we'd have had the same starter. literally tested it and reset the game to get a Piplup, but suddenly she's a Chimchar girl now?? smh

#394 Prinplup

Middle-evo syndrome =/

 

[Roni]

395 - Empoleon

i actually used to think Prinplup looked better than Empoleon, but eh, king penguin grew on me over time.

#396 Starly

The best early route birb, don't @ me

 

[Roni]

397 Staravia

2nd stage syndrome-ish but still pretty aight.

also literally everyone will agree with you on that take

 

[pkmin3033]

#398 Staraptor

I love his this thing gets Close Combat, i.e. an actually useful move that isn't flying. Sure, it's a fighting type move, but still...

 

[Roni]

399 - Bidoof

ah yes, something to perfectly balance out the awesomeness of the starly line. well done game freak.

#400 Bibarel

...ew.

 

[Roni]

401 - Kricketot
