According to Johto tradition, it’s incredibly unlucky for a couple to see a Scizor on the morning of their wedding. Seeing one the next day, however, is supposed to indicate they will have a long and fruitful marriage.

Modern couples will occasionally make “arrangements” to see a Scizor on the day after the wedding.

what if the couple own a scizor?

They usually make arrangements for someone else to take care of it for the big day.

For that matter, many couples make arrangements for all of their Pokémon to have someplace outside the wedding to stay (usually a center, friend’s house, spa, or daycare). While people love their Pokémon, weddings tend to be high stress enough without worrying about an in-law being set on fire, rings being eaten, or bouquets being devoured.

hypothesis: if God is the Heavenly Father, he makes literal god-tier dad jokes

evidence: it was warm and sunny pretty much all day today, so I did not wear a coat. I went to the gym after work but forgot my towel, so had to travel home gross and sweaty. as I stepped out of the door of the gym, I thought “man I could really do with a shower”. ten seconds later the fucking h e a v e n s  o p  e n in a twenty minute hailstorm that lasts my entire walk to the bus stop and finishes a few moments after I step onto the bus. 

conclusion: that wasn’t what I meant by a shower, God, and you fucking knew it. 

My favourite pokemon is the litwick/lampent/chandelure line, and I’d like to train one someday (not now, as I’ve only been training for a couple of years.) However, I’ve heard they eat souls – is that true? You see them in competitive circles, so I assume there are ways of getting around it if it is, but would it be safe to train one in a more low-key environment?

No, they don’t eat souls. That is a hurtful and inaccurate folktale.

This folktale most likely started because people who slept very close to their Litwick/Lampent/Chandelure, especially in poorly ventilated rooms, would suffer from smoke inhalation. People would wake up feeling faint, weak, or unable to breathe, and some would even die and be found dead in their beds with seemingly no cause. Ye olde people assumed that the Pokemon were eating/attempting to eat the humans’ souls.

It’s not as big a deal now because we have smoke alarms, but you should still take ventilation into account when choosing where your Pokemon is going to sleep.

And so I finally sped through my game to the League!  Robo’s Moon Wedlocke has been abandoned because of anxiety acting up, but Skye got to finish her run!

Next up, the Post Game and catching the UBs!

Feel free to suggest better names for Raichu, ah-heh…

(I’ll be posting more videos in a bit…)
