《The Pokemon War Project》


 Pokemon Analysis #1

    Bulbasaur


    Bulbasaur can be seen napping in bright sunlight. There is a seed on its back. By soaking up the sun''s rays, the seed grows progressively larger.


    It can go for days without eating a single morsel. In the bulb on its back, it stores energy.


    Grass/Poison


    0.7 m


    6.9 kg


    Super weak. It''s too small to fight physically, being the size of a human baby. Doesn''t have claws or sharp teeth either. It''s body shape doesn''t appear overly fast, meaning a slow, weak, fragile pokemon. The only redeeming quality is that you probably won''t have to feed the thing as it seems a herbivore. Not to mention that it can go for days without having to do even that. Although it is poisonous, helping it survive in the wild, it''s only use in the midst of battle is to punish enemies that sneak a quick snack in the midst of battle.


    Score: 2/25


    Would be lower if you had to feed the thing.


    Ivysaur


    When the bulb on its back grows large, it appears to lose the ability to stand on its hind legs.


    The bud on its back apparently draws energy from its body.


    There is a bud on this Pok¨¦mon''s back. To support its weight, Ivysaur''s legs and trunk grow thick and strong.


    1.0 m


    13.0 kg


    Whelp. This thing is slightly bigger, with slightly better weapons. It''s utility ends there, however. Losing the ability to stand on hind legs, and the bulb weighing it down even further, it''s a miracle if this thing managed to jump, let alone fight. While it can absorb energy via photosynthesis, the bulb, bulbasaur''s only positive charecteristic, has grown into a massive hinderance due to it drawing away nutrients from the main body, adding to food costs rather than subtracting from them. The poison in it''s body, while stronger, is still insufficient to add to it''s combat strength.Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.


    0/25


    Never use. Will only slow you down.


    Venesaur


    It is able to convert sunlight into energy. As a result, it is more powerful in the summertime.


    2.0 m


    100.0 kg


    This thing is huge. Nearly 10 times heavier than it''s prevolve. It also gets a large amount of energy from photosynthesis. It''s body shape and mouth size somewhat reminds me of a hippopotamas. It seems hard to kill and harder to stop. However its positives end there. It''s even slower than Ivy, and outside of the mouth, it seems unable to use any form of weapon. It still needs to eat for nutrients other than energy, and the large size requires a larger amount of food.


    3/25


    Can defend itself, and can be used to carry luggage. It can still find food, but it''s a lot harder. The main problem is that it''d take too long to move from one area to another, because of its slow speed, high food costs, and requiring constant sunlight.


    Becomes 0/10 in areas with no sun (Such as caves), and 4/10 in defensive battles.


    Not the worst pokemon, but not the best use of resources.


    Charmander


    0.6 m


    8.5 kg


    From the time it is born, a flame burns at the tip of its tail. Its life would end if the flame were to go out.


    Fire


    It''s interesting. It''s shorter than bulbasaur, and is smaller horisontally. It''s still heavier. Unlike it''s grass counterpart, it''s sufficiently agile, boasting sharp claws, teeth, and a burning tail. It''s too small to do any real damage, and isn''t the fastest pokemon ever, but it''s servicable for what it''s worth. The true kicker is the food costs. It seems carnivorous, and you have to provide it enough food for it to eat, but also some extra for the flaming tail. It''s also weak to rain or snow. While a light rain won''t ruin its day, a heavier shower can kill an entire army of these things, making them more trouble than what they''re worth.


    3/25


    4/25 in places with guarenteed lack of rainfall (Such as caves, especially since it can hunt small animals within)


    0/25 in highly rainy areas.


    Not particularly good in defensive battles due to small size, decent in both, though. Too high maintanence to use effectively.


    1.1 m


    19 kg


    It has a barbaric nature. In battle, it whips its fiery tail around and slashes away with sharp claws.


    It''s faster, stronger, less fragile, and better equipped than it''s prevolve. It''s food costs are higher, but not noticably so, and it''s a lot more resistant to rain.


    It''s the best pokemon covered so far, but there are better uses for your resources.


    5/25


    4/25 in any kind of defensive battle or offensive battles in rainy areas


    6/25 in caves defensively or offensively

 Pokemon Analysis #2

    Charizard


    Charizard flies around the sky in search of powerful opponents. It breathes fire of such great heat that it melts anything. However, it never turns its fiery breath on any opponent weaker than itself.


    1.7 m


    90.5 kg


    It''s a bigger Charmelion, It can fly, and breathe fire. I don''t really have to say much. Ranged attacks are highly scarce in absence of moves, and shooting fire from a distance is a terrifying weapon. Its battle mania and flight, alongside it''s tough body creates a monster. It does require a lot more food than charmelion, almost 3 times as much, but it can easily be left alone to hunt for itself. The fire on it''s tail, while still a weakness, is even harder to extinguish, and being longer makes it even more effective as a weapon. Not to mention, it''s wings do not replace it''s limbs as the case of birds or bats, thus it loses absolutly nothing in evolution.


    It''s pride is a bit of a problem though, as a hit and run strategy would be the best way to utilise this pokemon, were it not so darn proud of itself. Highly mobile, very strong, and a terror on the battlefield.


    11/25 in offensive battles.


    8/25 in defensive battles.


    7/25 in caves, forests or indoors, as this highly limits flight.


    7/25 in rain.


    Squirtle


    Shoots water at prey while in the water. Withdraws into its shell when in danger.


    0.5 m


    9 kg


    It''s tiny. It''s slow. It''s heavy. While the ranged attack is useful, it''s power leaves a lot to be desired, unable to knock most fliers out of the air, and perfectly useless against any grounded foe. Not to mention, requires a constant supply of water, which makes him too high mantainence anywhere without a running source of water. Can fish for food.Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.


    Do not use in offensive battles. 0/25. Just getting it to the scene of the battle will take an year and a third.


    Somewhat decent in defensive battles in a location where fishing is possible 2/25


    Other defensive battles 1/25


    Wartortle


    It often hides in water to stalk unwary prey. For fast swimming, it moves its ears to maintain balance.


    1.0 m


    22.5 kg


    While bigger, it''s still quite small. It''s also very slow on land. While it appears to have claws, they''re only really good for water battles. It''s nigh impossible to kill, due to high defense, but it''s nigh impossible for it to kill anything either, even underwater, and it loses the water shooting ability that made squirtle somewhat useful.


    1/25 in defensive battles near water


    0/25 otherwise. Do not use.


    Blastoise


    The rocket cannons on its shell fire jets of water capable of punching holes through thick steel.


    1.6 m


    85.5 kg


    No, it''s weaknesses have not improved. It''s still too slow to do anything, and it''s claws and teeth only serve to help it defend itself or catch prey underwater. The fundamental problem of this evolution line isnot that they''re too weak to fight, but that they cannot move fast enough to find something to fight.Blastoise is even bigger, even stronger, but even slower.


    However, it doesn''t matter.


    It''s a ballista. You place it on your castle walls, give it access to water, and watch it kill any flier in range, while heavily damaging grounded enemies. It''s even powerful in offensive battles due to it being able to punch straight through barricades, even though you have to create a vehichle to get it to the other city, unless there''s a waterway there.


    It can even use said water to propel itself short distances, smashing groups of foes with high speed tackles.


    13/25 in defensive battles near water source


    11/25 in defensive battles, no water source (Still worth it to transport the water to it. It''s that good.)


    7/25 in offensive battles with water source


    5/25 offensive battle no water source.


    One of the absolute best at what it does, but useless for anything else.


    Caterpie


    Its feet have suction cups designed to stick to any surface. It tenaciously climbs trees to forage.


    0.3 m


    2.9 kg


    This thing would be absolutly creepy in real life. Imagine a bug almost as tall as your knees. That''s terrifying. Don''t use it though. This thing dies if you step on it. Cannot kill another caterpie, let alone anything else. Super slow, too. The only reason you''d bring one along is as food.


    0/25 Never use.
