hey folks! it's time for something i've been looking forward to putting to y'all ever since it first came up on the original victory road mapping stream some number of weeks ago.

so, in that stream, someone asked what sort of wild pokemon victory road was going to have, and i was kinda like oh, right, those exist, huh. it was too early to really be thinking about it back then, but now that i'm coming to the end of the story and eventing section, it's about time we hammered them out.

so, to catch y'all up on the conversation we had back then, i mentioned that i wanted the wild encounters in reborn's victory road to be most similar to gen 1's victory road encounters
as it turns out, i was a fool.
i was born a fool,
i will die a fool,
and for all my days in between, i still will have been naught but a mere fool.
because even though i said that, i now realize as i'm typing this that gen 1's victory road's encounters were ass and what i actually meant was Cerulean Cave.

cerulean cave's encounters were great because there was just a whole bunch of wacky shit in there. every cave to that point was like, your basic geodude onix zubat machamp but then suddenly you got gloom, you got hypno out of nowhere, you got dodrio?? why is a dodo in a cave? you got raichu all over the place??? motherfucks be snortin' thunderstones up in here, the fuck

that's the kinda thing i wanna go for for reborn's victory road encounters. one example we talked about on the server was eeveelutions. those ain't the kind of things you expect to see wild-- frankly, anywhere. but here they are. chillin'. also they cute. they'd probably be rare, but nonetheless. 

this was a cool idea. and so what i wanna do here is open the floor up to you all and let you guys have a chance to toss some names in for the encounter pot! 

most of victory road is a crystal cavern, but it has several different environments (field effects) in it, and for the sake of not spoilering anything i won't list them here again. but at any rate, despite it being based like that, we figured out how we could distribute each of the evolutions in different areas through the cave. there is probably somewhere in it that could fit most pokemon, but i also don't want the encounters to be perfectly matched for each area... so i may just end up shuffling them around a bit.
the point is, y'all don't have to worry about that much.... 

just toss mons at me and i'll figure it out.  i'm looking for things that would be surprising, but not immersion-breaking. as a note, there is no water in victory road, so probably no pokemon that would only be able to sploosh around helplessly... looking at you, goldeen in episode 2 of the anime.

some more guidelines: no legends/UBs, obviously, but also, i don't want to put in anything that would invalidate needing to do late game events. so no tyranitar, hydreigon, aegislash, that sort of stuff, or there'd be no point in getting them from their existing places. if it's an early/mid game event, or wild in general, should be good!

basically:

supply me your mons
en masse
or like not en masse. doesn't have to be.
just anything you think would be interesting to see in victory road
ok?
ok thx bye
