150 followers Honorary mentions
After doing the 150 pokémon for my 150 twitter followers, there were some honorary mentions I wanted to do, so I decided to "give" them the pokémon that were revealed prior to the release of the Gen 2 games:
•
clairelamouf was my follower for long before leaving Twitter. Despite being possibly the most-established name in the fandom, she was still very supportive. To her I present: Togepi: the first pokémon that really showed us there could even be a Gen 2
•
Ribnose , who followed me until I was at about 140 (almost made it!) before leaving twitter. To her I present: Marill, or as we knew him back then, Pikablu: the pokémon that got us speculating
• @biggpeppa, who was only my follower for about 2 weeks, but was a friend when I desperately needed one. To him (and more generally to everyone who followed and then quickly unfollowed) I present: Pichu the pokémon that got us thinking of new evolutions and pre-evolutions (yes Pichu, the giant Gardevoir is his 'sona)
• Donphan, the surprise reveal from Pokémon: The First Movie, is dedicated, more generally, to all my followers who had to delete their twitter
• Snubbull (also a surprise reveal from The First Movie, but one that didn't feel like a real pokémon) is dedicated to those people who followed me and then blocked me: the battles I didn't win
• Finally, @caituu (who is memorable to me only because he followed and unfollowed me twice so more generally anyone who unfollowed and refollowed) gets Cleffa, the pokémon that made us realize Gen 2 was actually happening
The story behind these pokémons' meaning is better told in the Twitter Thread
