ELECTRIC POKEMON!・でんきポケモン　@ Sunyshore.com!

Let us begin with legendaries first, or else I might get killed in my sleep. Becuase, you know. Badass and all.. There's one pure electric legendary, two who can fly - and one who could opt to be electric if he felt awesome that day (which he does when in my collection!) - but gosh I do so love them all! As far as I know my Raikou, Zapdos, Thundurus, and Arceus Zap Plate collections are complete, containing every Pokemon Kid, TOMY Figure, plush, both zukan and large figures. Of course the crown jewel is Doctor Raikou - the giant 2.5 foot long (not counting tail) Pokemon Center Raikou plush - who I bought in very bad shape by a seller who only took one crappy photo for Ebay, and restored him to near-mint condition myself. I love you, my big baby! ~~TRIVIA TIME!~~ Five of Arceus' plates form the Jewel of Life that brings life and prosperity back into a wasteland of a town. The Zap plate was one of those types - proving once and for all electricity is vital to all life! And er, so are Dragons, I guess, since that was one of the other... nevermind.

Zekrom is Pokemon White's mascot legendary, the FIRST Dragon-Electric ever! He can generate a trillian volts with his glowing blue tail generator, and flies over the Unova Region, hiding in thunderclouds. Aw, how cute. But you're not allowed to call him cute to his face, or he will seriously chew off your head, because that is just how Zekrom rolls. You want to mess with Zekrom? Look at him. Think of your children. No, you don't want to mess with Zekrom. He might have snuggly ickle plushies and he might have cute chibi widdle figures and stuff. That changes nothing, because he will mess you UP. Once he is sucked up by Kyurem to meld into one incredibly asymmetrical being, his ability to mess you up will only increase. Black Kyurem*, the half-Zekrom ice dragon, might technically not be electric type, but he acts like one and knows all the right moves with which to wreck your day. Now... time for ~TRIVIA!~ Did you know? Zekrom is more badass than Reshiram. This Is Fact. Have Respect.

Tarantulas. Fuzzy. Furry. Many-legged. Multi-eyed. And...shocking...ly cute??? Galvantula was the third new electric Pokemon revealed before BW came out, but we wouldn't know it for sure until three months after his commercial came out. Why? First of all, we only had his fuzzy butt showing in the trailer. Second of all, the only thing that could make us think he was a brand new type combo - Bug/Electric - was his name, which is electric (den, 電) and the latter half of tarantula in Japanese (チュラ). I came to love him no matter what he ended up being, and had an obsession with wanting to see his face! The day finally came and I jumped for joy at his adorable cuteness, but WHAT IS THIS? As a baby, he is a tiny yellow fuzzball with stumpy legs?! I could not believe what I was seeing. After all that obsession, he has the cutest baby self ever seen by humans. Are you kidding me? SERIOUSLY? REALLY? Yes really. Joltik wants to say hewwo to you!! Walk into Chargestone Cave and you'll see what I mean. ~TRIVIA!~ Joltik is the tiniest electric POKEMON ever (yes, the smallest Pokemon out of all 650ish!) - about the size of a real tarantula! But I wouldn't try to stomp him if I was you! Because seriously, you could die.

What's a cooler fish than an electric fish?? No fish, that's who fish. Who is the fish. Who isn't as cool. Anywhoo...who needs those event surfing Pikachus - just catch yourself a cutiepie electric fishie and you've got an electric that'll surf spam all those ground types into oblivion!! My fishes live together in a word of harmony and bliss even with their brand new shipmate, Stunfisk the electric/ground fishie!! You think he looks stupid and derp? Think again my friends, he is just plotting your doom while you let your guard down. Step with caution into shallow mud puddles, if you hope to live a long life. As for my fishies Chinchou and Lanturn, my beloved blue fishies, who got hardly any toys at all, they have some lovely custom plushies, whilst Stunfisk has...well, more on how many goods he has later. ~TRIVIA!~ There are six electric Pokemon based on marine animals... but only Lanturn and Chinchou are part water type. Stunfisk can learn many water moves, including Surf, but the other three (Tynamo, Eelektrik and Eelektross) can't learn any water moves except Rain Dance. How curious you are, fishes!

So. One day, you are walking in an electrified glowing blue cave and notice something splashing around in a puddle, cooing cutely. It is a tiny white fish, and you take it with you to give it love and snuggles because it is just so cute and tiny. Then one day it evolves and you step back with a gasp of horror as it launches itself at its opponent, latching on and drinking its blood, for now it is a fanged turquiose eelfish. Then once you get your hands on a thunderstone, it grows arms with which to better latch on to its victims who are helpless against its mighty electric power!!! These are the terrifyingly cool electric eels. These are the first TRUELY TERRIFYING Electric Pokemon! And you know your cute little trick of just wiping out half of my entire website's residents with your cute little earthquake? HAH! Try again! Levitate, that's what!! Can you even believe how cool these guys are? Seriously, you cannot believe it. ~TRIVIA!~ Eelektrik is the first Pokemon in fifteen YEARS who can be evolved using a thunderstone!! Before Generation V, only Raichu and Jolteon were obtained using this most pretty of stones -- that's right, it was only ever used on TWO Pokemon, for four entire generations. You ROCK, eels!!

Who's yo mama??? Shimama is, that's who!! Haha! Hah. Or as he is known in English: Blitzle. Blitzle was the first BW electric to hit the internet -- ever! Zekrom actually got his artwork revealed before this baby zebra, but was not confirmed electric until after we fans already knew of Blitzle (even though it was the same edition of CoroCoro Comics, Blitzle's page leaked first!). Called the "Shinx" of BW (by me), one can understand why when looking into those beautiful eyes and adorable little ears. Don't underestimate him though -- when he grows up into Zebstrika, merely trying to ride on his back would probably kill you dead. Because, huge sharp spikes and random surges of deadly electricity running through them and all that. This is one badass mofo who looks at you with murder eyes. Zebstrika is no prey species, so don't even try it, Luxray! No seriously. He knows powerful fire moves and will kill you more dead than before under his stompy hooves. And you'd be dead. Below, please witness the adorable zebras toys, including my Jakks Prototype Blitzle Plush - who was canceled when Jakks dropped Pokemon, and of which only three were ever made. ~TRVIAI~ Blitzle's Japanese name, Shimama, is a play on the Japanese word for zebra - shimauma (シマウマ), and Zebstrika's Japanese (and English) name is a play on the English word for zebra. Which is.... zebra. Spelled...ZEBRA. Anyway, how international! Zebras of world peace and whatnot!

Three pups I do rather adore! Jolteon, the best (and fastest) Eeveelution of them all, and also had the most official plush of any of them until Sinnoh came along, the rarest being the Bell Plush. Oh, Jolteon Bell plush? It was my most wanted item for years - check out the epic Jolteon Bell Plush story. Ever since Eeveelution mania hit Japan in mid 2012, Jolteons might have exploded and taken over this Electric Canidae collection, but do not forget those Electric wolfies, Electrike and Manectric! These poor furry babies... not only did they come from a generation that only got FOUR electrics total (WHAT A SCANDAL!!!!), they also never got ANY official plush, so thanks to a good friend, these custom Pokedolls join the team - as good as official in my book, but we await the day perhaps official plush may come along for those little wolves. One never knows!. ~TRIVIA!~ Did you know the cutest Eeveelution is also the only one who does not have a tail? Well, now you do! By the way, when I said cutest Eeveelution, you best know I meant Jolteon, son.

Have you any wool? I have wool! Ampharos doesn't though - what sort of sheep evolve into bald dragon-like beasts? These awesomely cool ones do, that's who! Too much static electricity - or maybe their electricity is nuclear powered, erm.... well back to wool, I do have plenty myself, because there's a LOT of Mareep plush out there! Yes, those are all different, really! American Hasbro Mareep, giant UFO catcher, Buruburu (shaking) Mareep, Change-to-Pokeball mascot, Friends plush, and also a Mareep on a blanket with Pikachu and Pichu. Ampharos also has his fair shair of plush as well, ever since HGSS came along. Not to mention the HUUUUUUUGE Flaaffy pillow, her only plush! Sitting with my sheeps is the friend to all sheepies and magnets, Jasmine of Olivine City! Do not miss my Trading Figure Game Flaaffy from Groundbreakers - a canceled set of toys for which now only prototypes remain, perhaps less than twenty of each in the entire world for some. What a pink, fluffy little prize she was to add to my flock! ~TRIVIA!~ BLACK is the only color all three sheeps share! Not even white, as Mareep's wool is actually cream colored! One would hardly guess Ampharos comes from this line if one did not already know better! And the matching tails, but yeah.

Wow, what can you say about Rotom? The Pokemon that forced me to re-organize my entire collection because it suddenly got FIVE new adorable forms one day!! What?! Well, from the moment I heard about Rotom, our first ghostie and only the second Electric to easily dance away from Earthquake-spammers, I adored him to bits, and was very pleased for him and his forms to join u, even if they demanded plenty of space! I never imagined what an Electric ghost would entail -- but who would have thought it would be a little ball of plasma energy that haunts a television in a spooky old chateu?

I still cannot get over how insanely clever that is for our little Electric ghostie -- and how pleased I am he went on to posess and haunt other things besides just that one lonely TV, capitalizing on his ability to terrorize as many people as possible. ~TRIVIA!~ The five Rotom forms were the most hyped secret of Pokemon Platinum, with folk speculating about them for over a month. The ads first appeared in Toys R Us' in Japan, and almost immediately folks recognized them to be related to Rotom!

Folk often ask me, Gin me matey they says, what ARE these fellows? Well, since I was a wee one I just called them electrical monsters. They are monsters (with the Magmar line being their fire equivalents, right?) and they are SO cute... right? Monsters with electric sockets and plugs in their designs!! These guys simply embody the Electric Element, flawlessly and of course, cutely. Not to mention each one got a plush AND cool figures! But these large figures you can see on my shelf are special, because every one of them is really electronic (how appropriate)! Electabuzz is a very rare "lamp" that glows red, Elekid talks and yells and vibrates, and Electivire's cords glow red and he shouts his name like any Pokemon should! AWESOME!! Also, Electabuzz Bell Plush is the ONLY Electabuzz plush (as far as I know, and I know lots) and he was also my introduction into the world of Bell Plush. To match his bigger sized plush brethen, however, Electabuzz also has a custom plush in here. Elekid, being a hype Pokemon during Gold/Silver and the Lugia movie, has well over a dozen plush, who might live in a different shelf but are ever so much a vital part of this soft yet zaptastic family. ~TRIVIA!~ Did you know Electivire was the first Generation 4 Pokemon to appear in the animated series (who had not previously been in a movie)? This was Gary's Electivire! And he kicked Ash's ass with it, too. Ash's next rival, Paul, would also have an Electivire.

MAGNETS! How can you get more adorable than MAGNETS??? Look at these guys! They are SWEET LITTLE MAGNET BABIES!! And these magnets co-star Zero from Movie 12, because HE PUT MAGNETS ON THE BIG SCREEN! He had an army even bigger than my own... I'm so jealous! He's just so COOooooOOOOol! With three custom made Magnet PokeDolls, we have quite the happy family of objects here. But wait! Magnets are not the only Electrical Objects, oh no! Never forget: Voltorb and Electrode get a bad rap, but that's only because folk are jealous that they themselves can't blow the hell up at will, but not permanently die! And how amazing that Electrode and Voltorb get two plushies each! Have respect for these simplistic little balls of death. No seriously, they explode. Always. Send help, please. OH NO, HE IS RIGHT BEHIND ME... ~TRIVIA!~ The magnets were the first Pokemon to ever be retconned! Alas, originally they were only electric types, before Steel type had been "discovered" by the ever helpful magnet lover Jasmine of Olivine City. I suppose nobody noticed these cuties were dual steel types until that moment! And thus their type was retconned into eternity.

Folk do often ask exactly what do I think and feel about these electric rodents, who increase with each generation, all of them sporting stylish electricity-generating spots on their cheeks? Some are tired of them, and you might think I would be too, as Raichu is the least loved by those in charge (he is too fat). Yet, their charm endures in my heart, and I find myself looking forward to knowing this is a collection that will grow with each generation without fail. They are a set, if you will, and one must know how a collector feels about a nice matching set! I might focus on Raichu, but his tiny brothers and sisters (he is over three times as heavy as Pikachu and the others) are almost as adorable. Pichu and Pikachu are but Raichu's babies, after all! As much as I love all of these micey and squirrely rodents, they are just so overwhelmingly hyped, it would be impossible to try to collect more than I do -- so I focus on the cutest of all plush, PokeDolls (in and of itself not an easy feat despite being only ONE BRAND OF PLUSH), along with a few represensitive figures to go with them. We do need room to grow after all, and big fat Raichu is a little bit territorial, you know! ~TRIVIA!~ Pachirisu was not only merely the second electric rodent to be owned by a main anime cast member (Dawn), but she was the first electric Pokemon besides Pikachu to be owned by a main anime cast member - ever - until Best Wishes!, but that took 15 years! You ROCK, little squirrel! Speaking of Squirrels -- Emolga is the first Electric Rodent to not be a pure Electric Type. What a rebel.

Besides what is otherwise well documented on this site, I have a whole slew of random Electric Pokemon goods. I even have an entire room of my house decorated and painted as an Electric Pokemon room. We call it the "Orange Room", and it is a place for guests to sleep! Hope you like Pokemon, guests! You can see shots of the Orange Room along with all my other random goodies and a few closeups below!
