that in terms of human companionship, Flareon is objectively the most huggable Pokemon? While their maximum temperature is likely too much for most, they are capable of controlling it, so they can set themselves to the perfect temperature for you. Along with that, they have a lot of fluff, making them undeniably incredibly soft to touch. But that’s not all, they have a very respectable special defense stat of 110, which means that they are likely very calm and resistant to emotional damage. Because of this, if you have a bad day, you can vent to it while hugging it, and it won’t mind. It can make itself even more endearing with moves like Charm and Baby Doll Eyes, ensuring that you never have a prolonged bout of depression ever again.

My secret to remember then is to have children.

Yes, but after naming my first child Bulbasaur and my second one Venusaur, I’m not sure I can sire enough children to fill in the first 150, let alone the full roster…

With enough women, it’s possible.

How early did you introduce the games (or show)?

Mine are still years away.

They know the most well known Pokémon thanks to merch and a few old cards that my wife and me had when we were children and conserved.

My oldest watched a few episodes when she was 5, and “read” a Pokémon manga after (she watched the images, she didn’t know how to read). I promised her that I will teach her how to play the cards when she’ll know how to read … I will keep my promise and buy her her own deck for her 7th birthday :-)

That’s adorable. I’m so excited to be able to share this with my kids too.

My oldest only knows the name “Charmander” from a stuffed animal, but that’s it.

I got my kiddo playing around 4 or 5. Mainly just watching. Eventually he started playing games like Coromon, and other monster catchers. The newest Pokémon sadly haven’t run well on his switch either, so I’ve been trying to get him on the older but still favorites like Pearl or Diamond.

I still have an easier time remembering all the original pokemon than I do the periodic table of elements.

That’s pretty good! But… that’s only 147. :-)

Nidoran♀, and Nidoran♂ are separate and you’re missing Nidorina, Nidoqueen, and also Rhydon.

Some other corrections:

  • Pigeotto -> Pidgeotto
  • Ninetails -> Ninetales
  • Diglit -> Diglett
  • Primape -> Primeape
  • Duouo -> Doduo
  • Cloysyer -> Cloyster
  • Ghastly -> Gastly
  • Electrabuzz -> Electabuzz
  • Gyrados -> Gyarados
  • Omantyte -> Omanyte
  • Arodactyl -> Aerodactyl

(Yes, I looked it up. No, I have no life. :p)

Cheers!
