So, in the interest of drawing up a full list for the proposed February Community Hunt, we want Love Pokemon and Pokemon Pairs. So. Any pokemon that evolves through friendship counts, as long as you do evolve it that way (or, in the case of Eevee, through Amie to Sylveon is also permissible) as well as any Pokemon which are part of a pair. This one's a little fuzzier to define, but any pokemon which are thematically linked and introduced in the same generation make an obvious starting point, as well as a few cross-generational pairs as suggested by the games (like Pinsir-Heracross). You only need one from a pair to complete the community hunt, but going for a complete pair seems like a pretty good idea. To save space, only the lowest evolutions in the pair will be named.
Questions to sort out: How do we consider Pokemon like Trubbish, which is thematically linked to Koffing and Grimer? Do we now no longer have a pair, and thus none of them qualify? Or do we only count the original pair and leave Trubbish in the dust? How about the Hitmons? Or Wurmple, Snorunt, and others which evolve into their own pairs?
So, our list:
Friendship:
Golbat (Crobat), Chansey (Blissey),Eevee (Umbreon, Espeon, Sylveon), Pichu (Pikachu), Cleffa (Clefairy), Igglybuff (Jigglypuff), Togepi (Togetic), Azurill (Marill), Budew (Roselia), Buneary (Lopunny), Chingling (Chimecho), Munchlax (Snorlax), Riolu (Lucario), Woobat (Swoobat), Swadloon (Leavanny)
Pokemon Pairs
Caterpie-Weedle, Pidgey-Spearow, Nidoran♀-Nidoran♂, Zubat-Woobat, Geodude-Roggenrola, Vulpix-Growlithe, Oddish-Bellsprout, Abra-Ralts, Machop-Timburr, Poliwag-Tympole, Grimer-Koffing, Tyrogue (?), Elekid-Magby, Pinsir-Heracross, Tauros-Miltank, Eevee (Leafeon and Glaceon), Omanyte-Kabuto, Mewtwo-Mew, Spinarak-Ledyba, Murkrow-Misdreavus, Houndour-Elektrike, Lugia-Ho-oh, Wurmple, Lotad-Seedot, Taillow-Wingull (?), Sableye-Mawile, Plusle-Minun, Volbeat-Illumise, Carvahna-Wailmer, Zangoose-Seviper, Solrock-Lunatone, Lileep-Anorith, Shuppet-Duskull, Snorunt, Clamperl, Latias-Latios, Cranidos-Shieldon, Burmy, Cresselia-Darkrai, Lillipup-Purrloin, Cottonee-Petlil, Tirtouga-Archen, Gothita-Solosis (?), Karrablast-Shelmet, Rufflett-Vullaby, Heatmor-Durant, Spritzee-Swirlix, Tyrunt-Amaura, Phantump-Pumpkaboo
Note, I'm not including Luvdisc-Alomomola because other than imagined design similarities, there's not really anything pointing to them as a pair. And even the design is questionable, since Luvdisc is a heart and Alomomola is an ocean sunfish, and those only bear passing resemblance to hearts by coincidence. Other things to note include the questions above and any pairs marked with a question mark - do Taillow and Wingull constitute a pair? How about Gothita and Solosis? What do we do with Tyrogue's line?
These all need to be sorted out before tomorrow, but here's at least a crack at it.
i will be mming for a shiny swirlix my next fairy target hoping to get a adamant bellydrum with 5 ivs wish me luck guys and good luck to all hunts ^_^
