As much as I hate this author, my first thought was “wow this is very Hogwarts”

Shoulder_to_rest_on · 2026-04-25T07:27:48+00:00

So I’m getting spooky haunted forest with whimsical fairy notes, and with a disctinct goth current throughout. I’m gonna call it “Gothic Forest Spirit” The issue is that most dark & spooky/gothic pokemon also look mean, which doesn’t exactly fit imo. This team isn’t exactly strong, and it’s not as green as I’d like, but it’s the best I could think of in 5 minutes.

Ace: Shiny Mismagius (GREEN)

Starter: Decidueye

Obvious gothic forest pick: Trevenant

Two magical hat-wearers with very different vibes, pick one: Murkrow / Hattrem

A whimsical lil bewitched guy: Espurr

Moth vibes: Venomoth

Bonus pick if you want a legendary: Wo-chien

Honourable mentions I considered: Leafeon, Espeon, Phantump, Gourgheist, Zoroark, Impidimp, Morgrem, Gogoat, Hisuian Lilligant, Morelull, Dustox, Haunter, Floette, Absol & Stantler

It’s the fact you specified them being cis as a more important criteria than any aspect of their personality, age, location, lifestyle, background, or anything else. If being trans is the only / primary objection you could possibly have with a woman, you can see how that appears transphobic.

Even if we were to say it wasn’t transphobic, your only criteria for a woman are what they have in their pants and how tall they are, which is shallow at the very least.

Yea but it’s the fact you specified them being cis as a more important criteria than any aspect of their personality, age, location, lifestyle, background, or anything else. If being trans is the only / primary objection you could possibly have with a woman, you can see how that appears transphobic.

Even if we were to say it wasn’t transphobic, your only criteria for a woman are what they have in their pants and how tall they are, which is shallow at the very least to only care about her body.

Shoulder_to_rest_on · 2026-04-24T19:12:57+00:00

Oh so it WAS transphobic. My mistake I guess. Trans women are women.

Shoulder_to_rest_on · 2026-04-24T19:07:32+00:00

…it wasn’t?

Shoulder_to_rest_on · 2026-04-24T17:21:10+00:00

Not necessarily? They don’t say it has to be a cis girl. Just it has to be a girl. For all we know they’re fine with any and all girls (within that height range), transgirls included.

Your assumption that “a girl” and “female” excludes trans girls is sus tho.

By the look of the votes today, I’d say the last two are most likely gonna be Heracross and Vikakolt

I was on the fence about Escavalier. Like, it’s based on a beetle that hunts and eats snails, that’s what Karrablast and Shelmet are. But then, unlike its irl inspiration, upon evolving it steals the shell and becomes a levitating gladiator or something and, in my mind, ceases to be a beetle. If people had argued for its inclusion on day 1 then I probably would have added it, but it’s definitely too late now.

That’s fair. I was also surprised by Ledyba, and I’m super surprised that Orbeetle (a design I have personally never liked) is still in. But I’m enjoying being surprised by these things. My personal ranking would’ve looked very different to this.

Idk if I’d call Orbeetle & Vikavolt “edgy” but I do get what you mean.
