Pokemon Fun Facts!

So, everyone knows the Turtwig line are photosynthesising herbivores, right?

That is, their diet requires photosynthesis and the intake of plant material such as leaves and berries. Both of these are essential for their wellbeing, and neither can be restricted or replaced without causing health problems.

But you might be interested to know that there absolutely are cases where the Turtwig line- especially Grotle and Torterra- have been known to consume smaller mammalian and reptilian Pokemon, both live and as carrion! Many of these are in situations where resources were in short supply and the Pokemon was trying to access the required nutrients any way it could, but occasionally it appears to be more or less because they felt like it, or had developed a habit that carried through to better times, or were simply curious!Generally speaking, though, you don’t have to worry about a trained and properly fed Torterra doing such a thing, and it’s easy to discourage should they try it. What might be harder to discourage is their ability to consume poisonous or otherwise toxic plant matter! Despite not being Poison type, fully evolved Torterra can eat almost any vegetation, including things that would be deadly to their pre-evolutions, and should they decide they like the taste they certainly will. Doing this on a regular basis does, however, cause their skin and tree to secrete toxins, and is not recommended unless you’re doing it on purpose! Why would you do it on purpose? Well, it helps to reduce the damage taken by Poison-type moves in battle, and adds a poison aspect to their Grass-type attacks, so can be very helpful for a battling Pokemon- so long as you don’t mind not being able to hug them without protective equipment!

Not to brag but based on this singular Sunday morning I have my whole life figured out

project for my visual communications class :>

You ever look at a character you created and think “he’s awful, he’s horrible, he’s a menace… he’s perfect”?

…well I drew another picture of Briar. What the hell, I’ll go ahead and also include some ideas of what he’s like:

I think he’d be voiced by/sound like Brandon Rogers.

He’s a human/fairy hybrid; I don’t see enough of those in fiction and when I do, no one does anything with them.

He wears dresses because he feels like it. Fuck anyone who says he can’t.

He’s a petty asshole and he’s proud of it.

He can control plants. He loves his plants. He calls them his “babies”. They’re the only living things he treats with respect.

He’s repelled by cold iron like a purebred fairy; it causes him intense physical pain on contact.

The plants I chose to represent him with here are Rafflesia, sundew, pitcher plants, Venus flytraps and a giant water lily, all plants that are absolutely terrifying.

He is definitely not heterosexual, but of course, none of my characters ever are so that’s a given lol
