Title: If the Animorphs were Pokemon...
Post by: Phoenix004 on September 14, 2008, 10:41:49 AM
... what types would they be? Post your thoughts here.


I'd go with these:

Tobias: Flying (he's a bird)
Ax: Psychic (he's telepathic)
Rachel: Fighting (she's the best fighter)
Cassie: Grass (she loves nature)
Marco: Ice (can be cold and logical at time, plus he's cool!)
Jake: Dragon (I'm not sure why, it just seems to fit)

(Credit for this idea goes to Azguard and Nohensen).

Tobias: flying or ghost
Ax: fighting or electric
Rachel: Fire or dark
Marco: Ice or psychic
Cassie: Grass or ground
Jake: Dragon

That's about what I first put, though it can be debatable. Tobias being flying is obvious. Ghost because he's generally looking on from a distance. The hidden eye in the sky, if you will. I also read a quote from Ax somewhere that if Tobias didn't want you to see him, then you simply didn't see him.

Ax I have fighting or electric. Electric because he's quite fast, and fighting because he's a trained fighter. Possibly better than Rachel.

Rachel would be fire or dark. Fire because she has an agrressive personality. Dark because she enjoys fighting more than the others. That's not to say she's bad. You can be dark without being bad or evil.

Marco is ice or psychic because sometimes he can be cold and ruthless. He can also be very smart and clever.

Cassie would be grass or ground, because she loves nature and is down to earth.

Jake would be dragon, because Dragons are generally revered in the pokemon games.

Like I said, the types could be debatable. There are multiple types that would fit each of them. This is kind of a weird thing to think about, though.

Tobias: Flying
 Ax: fighting  (but now that I think about it, psychic is good too)
 Rachel: Fire (because of her desire to consume....hahahha)
 Cassie: Grasss
 Marco: Ice or Steel (or...Ice/Steel!)
 Jake: Dragon or Psychic...or Steel also.


 this is the funniest thing to talk about ever. haha

Tobias: Flying (Pidgeot?)
Ax: Fighting or Psychic (maybe Lucario would be a good choice for him...and yes, I know Lucario isn't psychic but that aura thing...)
Rachel: Fire, though Dark and Fighting would work. Or maybe Ursaring because she does like that bear morph XD.
Cassie: Grass, possibly Celebi or Shaymin (they are both protectors of nature and all of that if my memory serves).
Marco: Psychic, or Ice. Not sure really for him.
Jake: Dragon.

Or all of them (minus Tobias) become Dittos and keep the ability to morph XD.

I think whammyman5 just won this thread. Though why exclude Tobias, I'm not sure. You have read past book 12, right?

I actually read a fanfic once that crossed over Animorphs and Pokemon. It was called Pokemorphs. It was actually pretty interesting, though keep in mind that I read it a LONG time ago, so it may not be as good as I remember it...

Actually, Tobias would be a mew while the others are dittos. Mew learns transform, but can also fly in its normal form.

Now imagine five dittos and a mew, facing Visser One and Three. Visser One yells "Prepare for trouble!" Then Visser Three yells "Make it double!"

When there's a topic called " If the Animorphs were Pokemon..." you can't resist clicking on it.  I don't really have anything else to add to the discussion; I just needed to say that.

*facepalm*. I forgot Tobias regained the power to morph(though technically I haven't read past Book 12 in my rereading of the series). Anways, Nohensen fixed that by making him Mew.

Actually, Tobias would be a mew while the others are dittos. Mew learns transform, but can also fly in its normal form.

Now imagine five dittos and a mew, facing Visser One and Three. Visser One yells "Prepare for trouble!" Then Visser Three yells "Make it double!"

Now imagine that scene continuing with the five Dittos morphing into Visser Three...

OH MY GOD I NEED BRAIN BLEACH!!! I just got the weirdest image of Visser One and Visser Three (in Andalite form) wearing Team Rocket outfits, only instead of a big "R", it's a big "Y". Visser One doesn't look too bad...but VISSER THREE! AS AN ANDALITE!!!
I don't think I'm going to be able to sleep tonight...

um...I don't think so. Just misty's psyduck is useless, unless it has a headache (yeah, I used to watch pokemon).

Wait...I just had a few thoughts...What would that make Visser Three? Would he be a Scyther too or a Ditto? And what would the Yeerks look like?  ???
Since I honestly haven't watched Pokemon in years--excluding the few times when dealing with a small child--I really have no frame of reference for any "parasitic" Pokemon.
Title: Re: If the Animorphs were Pokemon...
Post by: Phoenix004 on September 15, 2008, 10:12:08 AM
Well Visser Three would be Mewtwo of course! Scythers and Pinsers would replace the Hork-Bajir and Taxxons, and the Yeerks would become the Weederpies! (Sentient Weedle/Caterpie hybrids created by Team Rocket). Oh, and the secret remaining Mew colonies would take the role of the Andalites...

The above will only make sense if you read Pokemorphs!

I would imagine that a version of pokemon with animorph characters would not be too difficult to produce.  I've played homebrew pokemon games before where people created their own characters...



I wonder if anyone on this forum would be up to the task?
