#falles

I’m excited for the upcoming new game of Pokemon, specially because is based in my country, Spain. And such I wanted to give a little piece of my mind.

First and most important: if there is a Gym specialized in Fire Pokémon, that gym must be placed in the zone equivalent to Valencia, home of Les Falles (which are being held right now!).

It’s a celebration where we throw a massive amount of firecrackers during the middle of the day know as La Mascletà and we build enormous paper-mâché monuments that, after 4 days of exposition, they are burnt in the night, known as La Cremà.

I wish for a regional form for Arbok, based on la Cuélebre :

Either if you love them or hate them, the Team Rocket Trio, consisting of Jessie, James, and Meowth; have been in Pokémon since almost the very beginning of the franchise, even appearing in some games, despite being from the anime. And aside Meowth two of they’re most known Pokémons are Weezing and Arbok. But with the inclusion of the Regional Forms in Gen 7 they’re become more well known ever since.

Meowth was the first one, with not only one but two Regional forms from Alola and Galar, follow by Weezing in the last one.

But then there’s being missing one Pokémon to receive an alternate form and that’s Arbok.

In Spain we have two types of snakes: víboras and culebras.

Seviper already represents the víboras (vipers), so that leaves the culebras and while it’s true that they exist in most parts of the world they might be a more interesting being that could become Arbork’s new form.

That creature, that may give their name to the culebras, is the Cuélebre, or Culebre, a creature from Asturian and Cantabrian mythology (in the northern regions of Spain).

A serpent with bat wings, impenetrable scales and an enormous tail, which crouches in the forests, in the fountains, in the creeks, and fills the spaces of its whistle and devours cattle and people...

Interesting enough, this creature resembles much to Mega Gyarados, so some differences should be made to separete the two, aside from the type, like giving Arbok’s form the types Poison/Dragon or Poison/Flying.

Let it be a Tomato Pokémon or an event based on the Tomatina.

Simply put, the Tomatina is a battle of hundreds (if not thousands) of people using only tomatoes

Sanfermines with Tauros:

San Fermín is a celebration held annually in the city of Pamplona, Navarra, were people run from bulls. Imagine this but with Tauros.

And before anyone says anything, yes, at the end of the day, there’s a bullfight, were they are ultimately killed, with the exception of one bull whose given a “pardon”.

Ultimatelym that part may not appear in the game because controversy, unless Game Freak decides to create a Ghost Type Tauros.
