My favorite was Vaporeon

Today my mother bet my brother and I that we wouldn't be able to list 120 Pokémon together. LB and I tried separately: he found about 130, I found 108. More than two thirds, not too bad. (I can't believe I forgot Ditto.)
The English names are even more stupid than the German ones: Tentacruel? Exeggcute? Alakazam sounds cool, though.
Wow, that took me back to probably some of the oldest self-insert fanfic I wrote in my head. I almost wrote down the name of one evolution I invented back then. I still like that version of imaginary me. Somewhere I still have my notes on the 20 or so self-inserts I had in my head as a teenager, all with different names, different friends, different abilities, different stories - younger me was pretty creative. Revisiting some of those worlds would be fun.
This to distract myself from the fact that yet again I spent a weekend procrastinating instead of doing urgent studying for exams or thesis writing or other important stuff and I feel very very stupid.

I kinda liked the Evee evolutions too - and Vaporeon was a def fav. But my absolute fav was Rapidash - and still is. I'm busy playing pokemon pearl on emulator and its a hoot both from a nostalgia perspective and to see the updated versions of the game.

Rapidash, yes! A unicorn on fire :D
The last version I played was Crystal, years ago, and I'm not interested in all the new Pokémon (some are cute, I guess), I prefer the old ones :)
