For the #pokeddexy challenge on tumblr. AHHHHHHH I'M FINISHED!!!!

Okay so I'm sorry not sorry, but I actually have two favorite Pokemon! Back when I first got into Pokemon as a 10-year-old, I was absolutely obsessed with Team Rocket, and that definitely has always stayed with me-- still my favorites. I was actually, believe it or not, a huge CAT fan back in the day (my first 'sona was a tabby cat anthro, haha). So of course Meowth was high on my radar. I loved his character. As you can see from my collection, I am srs, haha. The only problem is... you can't really battle very successfully with a Meowth, haha. Not without evolving it, anyway, which I always REFUSE to do on principle, thanks to Meowth's history with Persians in the first few seasons of the show. >:c

Nidoking, on the other hand, is my favorite Pokemon to battle with. It was completely beneath my radar til I played Fire Red; I was really surprised at how integral Nidoking became to my team, and I actually LOVED using it. When Soul Silver came out, I ended up raising up a new Nidoking, this time named Elvis, with a timid nature who was quick to flee. I fell in LOVE with the idea of a big, lumbering, scary-looking Nidoking afraid of his own shadow. Elvis is my baaaaaby, oh my god I love him so much. I do actually have a Nidoking collection, but it's much smaller due to the lack of merchandise (bottom shelf, center).

Anyway, here are Meowth and Nidoking, being cuties wearing flower crowns. Elvis is confused and doesn't know what is on his head or why it is there, haha.
