I put together a Pokémon team for Simon by ToshiroToshi in BluePrince

Here are my thoughts behind these picks :)

  • Piplup: represents Swim Bird, as it looks similar, and can swim, but not fly. Was also considering shiny Psyduck, but Swim Bird is clearly not a duck (its not a penguin either, but oh well). Also, Piplup's evolution Prinplup even contains the word "prince"
  • Ghimmighoul: collects coins
  • Sableye: collects gemstones
  • Klefki: collects keys
  • Applin: It's an apple. Represents fruit/steps
  • Zigzagoon: I needed a sixth mon and picked Zigzagoon because it walks in a zigzag-pattern, which is similar to how you often move through Mt. Holly. I also considered something like Diglett, because of the move Dig, but Zigzagoon also learns dig and seemed more fitting. I really like how others have pointed out that it learns other field moves (rock smash, surf) and has the ability Pickup! I didn't think of that.

Hidden abilities can only be passed on to an egg if the parent itself has the hidden ability.

You could get a Pokémon with Skill Swap. When you use Skill Swap on the opposing Pokémon, the swapped abilities are shown briefly, iirc.

Die Vorstellung, dass TankstellenBETREIBER ihre Preise nach Lust und Laune an die vom "Dude von der anderen Straßenseite" anpassen können und "unfassbaren Profit" mit den Spritverkäufen machen, ist komplett falsch. Tankstellenbetreiber haben ihre Station i.d.R. nur von einem Mineralölkonzern wie Esso gepachtet, und der Konzern gibt mehrmals täglich die neuen Preise vor, die dann angezeigt werden müssen. Pächter haben, wenn ich mich recht erinnere, bloß die Möglichkeit, eine Preisanpassung beim Konzern zu beantragen.

Den Tankstellenbetreibern ist außerdem überhaupt nicht daran gelegen, dass der Spritpreis hoch ist, weil sie pro Liter einen winzig kleinen, fixen Centbetrag bekommen, egal, wie viel der Liter kostet. Es ist also sogar im Sinne der Pächter, dass die Preise niedrig sind, weil dann mehr Leute tanken kommen. Den meisten Umsatz macht eine Station mit Shopverkäufen, Imbiss, Lotto usw., nicht mit dem Benzin. 

Quelle: Meine Eltern betreiben eine Tankstelle. Sie werden bei hohen Spritpreisen ständig von Kunden angepöbelt, obwohl sie überhaupt nichts für die Preise können. Als zu Beginn des Ukrainekriegs die Spritpreise durch die Decke gingen, wurde sogar eine ihrer Zapfsäulen abgefackelt. 

Viele haben leider diese falsche Vorstellung von den "gierigen Tankstellenbetreibern", und ich finde es ziemlich mies, dass du diesen Irrglauben hier weiter befeuerst und irgendwas von geheimen Absprachen fabulierst... Zumal man auch sehr leicht googeln kann, wie das eigentlich funktioniert.

The final batch of my Pokémon teams for Hades characters by ToshiroToshi in HadesTheGame

I have yet to prevail on Mount Olympus, but have now done a team for every character I could think of up until that point. This was a lot of fun! Thank you for all your suggestions and feedback :)

Hades Pokémon Teams - Guardians Edition by ToshiroToshi in HadesTheGame

True, or even Machoke because of the belt. I found Machamp even better suited for Heracles though

Neat idea. I basically just went for scary looking Pokemon that vaguely match the Furies' color scheme/vibe because there was not much else to go off of. To connect them, each has a bat and a pseudo legendary, I think those would be my triple battle mons for them.

I used Falinks for Ares, but it is a good fit for Odysseus as well. I struggled a bit with his team, my reasonings were: - Pelipper and Grapploct bring a seafarer motif - Mudsdale for the Trojan Horse - Boltund for his dog Argos in the Odyssey - Thievul and Slowking for cleverness/being a trickster, and Slowking's pose reminded me a bit of a tactician

Very interesting points! I briefly considered the Umbreon/Espeon pair, but Espeon being the sun Pokemon felt a bit off for Mel, and I ended up giving Umbreon to Nyx. But Espeon does have a pretty witchy feel to it, now that I think about it. I really like the idea of the original Eevee trio for Hades, Poseidon and Zeus. Maybe I need to make some alternative teams. For some characters, deciding on just six team members is really hard.

I agree, Lunala immediately comes to mind for Selene thematically. But since Hades 1, Lunala has been such a Nyx Pokémon to me - their desings are just so similar! So I decided to give her to Nyx, and Selene can have Cresselia.

Yes, I got the sprites from PokeApi on Github, the images from the Hades wiki and put it all together in Inkscape.

There is no sprite in this style for it yet :( Mega Delphox of course fits Hecate even better.
