Near Pokédex F012 – Butterfree

I decided to go with Butterfree for the next Near Pokédex entry, and decided to take something from the anime. Now, this color scheme is not Butterfree’s official colors, nor their shiny colors. It’s also not part of Butterfree’s sexual dimorphism (although female Butterfree do have slightly different wing patterns). Rather, this version of Butterfree comes from some early adaptational weirdness in the Pokémon anime. You see, in an early episode Ash’s Butterfree meets a girl and leaves him to go presumably have tons of butterfly sex. Since Pokémon was still new and didn’t have as much established rules, the creators just made the Butterfree pink so the audience would know Ash’s Butterfree wasn’t gay. This weird miscolored Butterfree has returned a few times since then, but as far as I know she’s the only one in the whole world with this coloring. Like with female Charizard’s bow, though, I wanted to take something from the anime for my entry, so here she is.

Near Pokédex F654 – Braixen

While I haven’t played many of the newer Pokémon games, I did play Pokémon Y and had fire starter for that game. Braixen seems to have become the most popular stage of that evolution line, even though I remember really liking Delphox. Braixen got the big push by being a main character in the anime, plus (if I remember correctly) a playable fighter in Pokken Tournament (which I only played a bit of). Anyway, I thought she’d make for a good Pokédex F entry here.

Near Pokédex M807 – Zeraora

Here’s another Pokédex entry, this time with Zeraora. I’m not familiar with this Pokémon, personally, but it was recommended to me by a friend. I guess this one was introduced in the “Ultra” version of Sun and Moon, but I only played regular Moon. There’s also a movie focusing on this Mythical Pokémon. Being one of the more anthro-looking ones it was easy to adapt this design for the Pokédex, and I hope y’all will like him.
