  I like how half of these are "This precious baby is a functional member of society who likes to get drunk on the weekends" and the other half are "This man is an absolute psychopath with no redeemable qualities and ate 6 astronauts in 1978"

  Paras needing to kill an entire Miami life insurance company to evolve is maybe the most niche evolution trigger yet.

  I like how half of the entries will start off pretty normal like "this pokemon loves almonds and plays board games with its tail" and then devolve into complete insanity like "its also the cause of the kashmir conflict and spews hate speech at construction workers"

  "Alakazam are absolute bastards" should be in the official Pokedex. I am so happy this exists.

  I love how all these get one specific Hobby like "With its sharp claws it rips off its enemies throats and feasts on their blood. Also it likes to make pie on the weekends"

  That bit about charmeleon being substitutes for light posts in rural towns actually sounds like a real dex entry

  "It turns out there's no need for philosophy if you've got huge pincers" is a godlike fucking quote holy shit

  This feels like a real Pokemon book from the Pokemon universe, written by someone who is not an actual Pokemon professor so he just bases himself on told tales and word of mouth. I love it

  Looking at the Russian Pokedex is the equivalent of reading animal descriptions from medieval times.

  I get the impression that anyone who knows this author really well can identify actual people some of these descriptions are based on.<br><br>It feels like a lot of these are local town gossip, unresearched hearsay and stereotypes, and responses to his daughter’s random questions about Pokemon. &nbsp;“Daddy, do you think Ponyta loves Pikachu?”

  To be honest, as crazy as all this stuff is, it&apos;s pretty impressive that this guy made fairly extensive backstories for ALL Pokémon.
