The Alternadex

[JKL]

Even within a single species of Pokemon, there can be great diversity. From time to time, you'll run into an unusual form of a Pokemon that may differ in coloration, abilities, or even type. Here is where you'll find a little info on the ones you happen to pick up, or info that may be pertinent about a group of subspecies.

ENTRIES:

Commando Pineco


This breed of Pineco, tired of being hunted, has migrated from it's normal, logical habitat of the coniferous forests into deciduous trees. While this doesn't necessarily keep predators from attacking them, it does demonstrate a streak of cleverness on their part.

Hufflepuff Slowpoke


The people at William and Mary are, generally speaking, dorky. However, they are some of the best and the brightest in the country, so it's only natural that they go to the extreme with their obsessions. Take this guy given out by the Harry Potter Society, for example...

The Black Mareep

A particularly ill tempered breed of Mareep.

Payton Randolph Ghosts

Ghosts from one of the most Haunted Houses in the world. Particularly malicious, displaying vast strength, telekinetic abilities, and illusion casting.

Crackduck

What started off as an ordinary Psyduck. It was altered by the incredible mutagenic effects of two Mysterious Rare Candies, lowering its internal body temperature amd increasing its wild psionic abilities.

Draconian Mudkip

The Super Rare Candy activated the DNA of latent sea dwelling monsters within Brian King's Mudkip. It has begun to demonstrate abilities similar to the Dragons of Myth.

Silverback Stunky

Tom Hannibal exposed his Stunky to one of the unusual Rare Candies. As a result, the Stunky can now metabolize Ferrous compounds, and intertwine them within its hair and skin.

Plague Cubone

Ethan Mackenzie Mayer's Cubone was exposed to a mysterious Rare Candy, causing it to develop several natural virus producing chambers within its skull helmet and its bone club. The DNA found within this virus is unlike any ever seen.

like shiny pokemon?? ex black charizard

[JKL]

Except of my own devising. The Algal Grimer that Pierre and Jeff just came across at the Crim Dell, for example, will be given entries here (assuming at least one is caught).

[Brain King]

Algal? are we going to be seeing those things in the forest too?

[JKL]

Not the Algal Grimer specifically. But there are things out there. Admittedly less inspired than the Algal Grimer, but something I think is funny nonetheless.

The Crim Dell, being a murky (if small) body of water, lends itself well to creating gross monsters. Additionally, I find more trash in the woods surrounding the Crim Dell than in other portions of woods on campus, largely due to the lack of convenient pathways. And then there's the bamboo forest that's next to the Dell for no good reason. Those all made setting up monsters in the Dell a whole lot easier, whereas in the "Forest", there's a short butterfly path, and evidence of other critters that you'll see shortly, but that's about it. The special monster I have there is a bit of a stretch.

Of course, overall on campus, due to the crowds of people, we rarely see anything much more interesting than squirrels, a few birds, and the occasional box turtle by the side of the road.

Luckily for the end of this chapter, there are interesting non-animal things lurking around campus...

[Brain King]

"like thats freaky tree thing that you suppsoidly dont want me killing"

[JKL]

No, not the occupants of the tree.

[Brain King]

are the special pokemon have any different stats then the normal pokemon like are they weaker stronger??

[JKL]

Short answer: stats are semi-arbitrarily picked by me, but these subspecies do learn different, sometimes entirely new, attacks and have a tendency to be given special abilities.

[Brain King]

Killer

[Conchizzie]

Hmm, like the delta species in the card game?

Ex. an electric type feraligato, a Psychic type typhlosion, etc.

[JKL]

Kinda, yeah. Not necessarily different type, but yeah.

[JKL]

FIRST NEW ENTRY!

[Brain King]

yahaaahhhh

[JKL]

Updated with part of the Payton Randolph entry. More things are probably going to be put under that entry as you come across them.

[Conchizzie]

Out of curiosity, when it evolves, will Slowpoke become a Hufflepuff Slowking?
