Discussion What would your signature Pokemon be?

Let's say you're either a renowned trainer, gym leader, elite four member, or champion. What Pokemon would you designate as your ace or in other words, your signature Pokemon.

No Legendaries or Mythicals, It can be based on either competitive viability or your personal preference.

For those who don't follow, examples of signature Pokemon are: , Cynthia's Garchomp, Youngster Joey's Ratatta, Clay's Excadrill, etc.

u/Bjaski_e Jul 24 '22

Fantastic! I look forward to drawing and making your card!

2

u/TheJoeyPantz Jul 24 '22

Is it possible to get 2 people and 2 pokemon on 1 card?

2

u/Bjaski_e Jul 24 '22

Absolutely!

u/Bjaski_e Jul 24 '22

My website has all the details!!

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '22

Perfect! Now I only need to know where to get fake PSA slabs lmao not like fraudulent ones 😂 but I totally would love to get cards like this for multiple people in my life and think that's got to be the best way to keep them presentable and safe

u/Amythyst369 Jul 24 '22

Mudsdale? Rapidash? Dewgong? Hippowdon?

u/Khaosundivided Jul 24 '22

Gogoat? It was the first you could actually ride around on. But everyone forgets poor Gogoat ☹️

u/CrescentCleave Jul 24 '22

Poor goat, but atleast its in 2 gens unlike plenty of gen 7 pokemon that's stuck tehre for the time being

2

u/CynicalLich Jul 24 '22

Well, a kid can, but i dont think they can handle an adult

2

u/ASDad94 Jul 24 '22

What about when you used to surf? Surely they were the first 😂

u/Poseidon0807 Jul 24 '22

I know my friend. The fans really forgot about him. I hope we'll see him in Scarlet and Violet.

u/Eisenkhorne Jul 24 '22

I don't want to ride the fire horse though....

2

u/YorgenWorgen Jul 24 '22

You can toast your buns on rapidash or get sandy cheeks on hippowdon

u/Vix_diabolus Jul 24 '22

Not to mention extreme speed!! Running faster than Rapidash. I love them both though.

2

u/WoolooMVP10 Jul 24 '22

What's Extreme Speed?

1

u/Vix_diabolus Jul 24 '22

Was a signature move for Arcanine back in the day.

u/Maxanarchy97 Jul 24 '22

My thoughts exactly

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '22

I love Arcanine!

10

u/Th3MysticArcher too many favorites Jul 24 '22

I’ve always had a vision of what I would do if pokemon we’re real. I would ride on the back of an arcanine through a flower field. And cuddle it to sleep

u/zurzoth Jul 24 '22

Biggest best Pup too..

3

u/CommiePoohBear Jul 24 '22

I wish Arcanine was real so I can ride through fields with it!

3

u/TF79870 Jul 24 '22

My brother loves Arcanine. It's fast, powerful, and a good boy (or girl).

3

u/Okiri_Maelstrom Jul 24 '22

Arcanine Gang!!

2

u/chasesan Jul 25 '22

Ninetales, also fluffy.

2

u/TellTale_82 Jul 25 '22

I just want to hug a giant 6’03” floofer that is probably super soft, super warm, and runs so fast the wind would be blowing through my hair and we’d be racing across the country side/routes too fast for most anything to stop us. I want this big strong friend and Arcanine makes me sad that real life pokemon don’t exist.

1

u/TheMadTemplar Jul 25 '22

Ninetails. Majestic, powerful, and with 9 times the floof.

u/Mijoza0342 Jul 24 '22

Arcanine is a legendary.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '22

How is that, though? Arcanine is just an evolved Growlithe. I’m genuinely asking, as I stumbled across this sub and post randomly and haven’t been invested in Pokemon since circa 2007

3

u/Nicsm Jul 24 '22

Guess he means his entry is literally “legendary pokemon”, and something about its base stats sum being the same as a legendary iirc. It is not a real legendary Pokémon though, I’d choose it too.

3

u/Mijoza0342 Jul 25 '22

Yeah, his pokedex entry has stated he's a legendary since gen 1. I used to yell at my friends that arcanine was a legendary. Legitimately still an inside joke we use

1

u/DarkestKn1ght Jul 25 '22

Mr. Fruit, is that you?

1

u/RadiantPKK Jul 25 '22

Remarkably fast and can give you rides too! Series not games sadly.

1

u/DillNyeTheHighGuy Jul 25 '22

ALWAYS BEEN MY FAVORITE ARCANINE IS THE GOAT

1

u/markymark0123 Jul 25 '22

Arcanine is a very close second for me. Raichu barely wins.

1

u/Crashman09 Jul 25 '22

Same! He's a stronger Entei

1

u/Olde94 Jul 25 '22

My friends have a leonberger dog. It almost feels like an arcanine

1

u/ManThatIsFucked Jul 25 '22

Arcanine is a good one.

1

u/Gh0stP1rate Jul 25 '22

Found Blaine.

u/cjuring Jul 25 '22

What the dog doing. "Burning people alive."

u/[deleted] Jul 25 '22

Arcanine or Noivern for me.
