✨Who’s your Pokémon partner?✨ Throughout the 30 incredible years of Pokémon, Ninetales has always been my favourite ❤️
One game to play with fellow Pokémon trainers is to pick your team from each region, allowing only one Pokémon to carry over each time (like our boy Ash). Mr Safari and I even guessed the others Pokémon teams to then compare to see how well we knew each other! It was a lot of fun! 😎
Here is my adventure:
🔥Kanto: I fell in love with Vulpix when I was a young trainer, but then I evolved it and have never looked back. Ninetales has always been my favourite… although I wonder what would have happened if I picked Pokémon Red to play?
💦Johto: Chasing down the wild dogs was definitely stressful and the anxiety of them running away still is in my subconscious. However, when I finally caught Suicune… it was monumental!
🦭 Hoenn: Shiny hunting used to be a lot rougher back in the day… so when I got my buddy Spheal with the sparkle: Wowza!
🥚Sinnoh: Hatching a baby mantyke was such a joy. I also really loved Leafeon and Glaceon on my team!
🦦Unova: Oshawott is one of my favourite starters of all time. The happiest little otter you ever did see, with a scalchop that is wicked!
🤒Kalos: Given the circumstances, I shouldn’t have enjoyed X&Y as I had pneumonia. But the power of Pokémon helped me rest and transported me to Lumiose city. I bet having a fennec fox Pokémon also helped my recovery!
🌴Alola: Best region ever in my totally unbiased opinion after living in Hawaii. The detail in world building, the new style of gameplay and of course…my favourite professor! I crave malasadas every time I play!
🐑Galar: Wooloo in the adverts was the reason I was looking forward to the game, but then I met Cramorant and my team has never been the same since. Oh and the wild areas? Awesome music!
🦩Paldea: They spoiled us with a flamingo AND aye-aye Pokémon! Loved seeing an alpine marmot appear too and took top place as my favourite electric rodent Pokémon!
🥰 Thank you Pokémon for the last 30 years of new friends, events and joy. I cannot wait to see where the journey goes next!
