Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Dobraine Taborwin: He's the rock-solid Cairhienen Rand leaves in charge, so Golem felt appropriate. And because he's looking after the Sun Throne, a fire type felt right, and so... Torkoal. I stand by giving him two turtle like pokemon. #WheelOfPokemon 000
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Elyas Machera: How did I forget to do him? Okay, so I figured Marrowak would be a left over from when he was a warder, and Hisuian Arcanine he picked up after running off to be a wolfbrother. Yes, the two play fetch with the bone. #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Breane Taborwin: As a noblewoman, figured she'd have something cute like Azumarill. Breloom came to mind as it's a fighting type, making me think that she was a gift as a Shroomish from Lamgwin, so she treasures it. #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Sebban Balwer: Kind of a double joke here, Archeops because Balwer is so old he doesn't have a bird, he has a feathered dinosaur. And as his job is an obfuscation, I think he'd appreciate a Wobbuffet. There's a theory that the blue thing is a decoy and it's tail is the main part #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Lamgwin: I usually try to have a little more variety, but Throh and Sawk seem to just fit so perfectly as Lamgwin's backup that I can't not use them. #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Basel Gill: I figure a Lickilicky could be useful around an inn's kitchen with that big ol' tongue, and Toxicroak to help Lamgwin out with bouncer work. #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Lini: So the idea of ol' Lini having a cute little flower like Cherrim was too good to not use, and I figured she could use Polteageist to literally make her tea, and help with other chores. #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Selucia: I assume a Voice of the Blood could use an assistant like Indeedee, female version but with the male's RBF and the idea of her having an attack elephant like Donphan makes me snicker. #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Egeanin: Araquanid as it's an aquatic spider, fits with her ship duties, and a Cramorant as a ships captain could use a scouting bird. #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Bayle Domon: I feel like he'd have a Floatzel as he spends a lot of time on the water, and a Grapploct as it's also found by water and can help with heavy lifting. #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Narishma: I went with the Hisuian Typholsian as it has a lot of power and a sort of mystical air, and Hisuian Goodra as it's a big armored dragon. #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Androl: Abra as it's a teleportation specialist, and Grimmsnarl as it's a powerful fairy type and a counter part to Pevara's Hatterene #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Pevara: Sneasler as they're accomplished hunters, and Hatterene as it's a strong psychic type and a counterpart to Androl's Grimmsnarl. #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Talanvor: A Kleavor to give him something with weapon hands, and Drednaw, as a guardsman needs something to act as a shield. 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Talmanes: He's Cairhienan, Cairhien = basically France, French bulldog, Granbull. Sawsbuck as a sub in for a respectable charging horse. #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Cadsuane: I figured the human-shaped psychic pokemon Gothitelle fit her nicely, and Eelektross... 100% because it's one of Cynthia's signature pokemon, Cynthia is one of the most badass Champions, and love her or hate her Cadsuane is definitely badass. #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Lews Therin Telamon: The OG Dragon (kinda) deserves the OG Dragon, Dragonite, and one of the most intimidating Dragons, Salamence. #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Jaret Byar: Forretress to use as a personal shield/bomb. Zangoose to act as his metaphorical sword. It looks mean enough for him. #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Dain Bornhald: I should probably do a Whitecloak... So for Dain, Bolthund as a loyal dog feels important to Whitecloaks, and Perserker since it's a sword cat and I could see Dain liking a sword cat. #WheelOfPokemon 110
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Verrin: Noctowl seemed obvious, given that she actually has an owl. Beheeyem I envision as a something she found in her travels. It startles everyone who sees it, and Verrin has no idea why. They mostly carry books and supplies for her. #WheelOfPokemon 120
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Elida: So I thought Purugly for Elida as it's a mostly female pokemon with resting B face. And Mandibuzz because it's an exclusively female pokemon that looks like it'd enjoy eating the leftovers of Logain, Rand, male channelers in general. #WheelOfPokemon 110
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Aludra: The pyrotechnics wizard of the series deserves to explosive Pokemon. Magmorter as it's hands are literal cannons, and Electrode, as it's famous for exploding. Yes, we're going to pretend that it's a left over from the AoL too. #WheelOfPokemon 110
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Sulin: Figured she should have a fighting type with as close to a spear as I could find, and I think Heracross' horn qualifies. Gliscor as it feels like a desert dwelling apex predator, which Sulin definitely is. Plus it could probably jab like a spear with her tail. #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Olver: Kid like's horses, so I gave him a Ponyta. Galar variety just cuz. He get's three because I couldn't choose between Snakes or Foxes. So he gets and Ekans and Fennekin. 120
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Valen Luca: I figured Hawlucha's bright colors and Luchador's style would compliment the og Ringmaster well, and Incineroar could work as a strong man and wrestling partner for Hawlucha. #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Juilin Sandar: Yes, he gets two too. Figured he could use a Stoutland for tracking, and Sableye for interrogating criminals. A gem eyed ghost with sharp claws would certainly make me want to spill my secrets to him. #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Taim: So I went with a Turtonator for him as it is a destructive little dragon, capable of great harm but often content hiding behind it's shell. And a Fearow because he has big buzzard energy. #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Tuon: Picking the mons for an Empress of a foreign, vaguely Chinese empire was hard, but I like these. Dusknoir, as it would be a large, silent guardian that can speak to her or Selucia via sign language. Zebstrika as a sub for the Razor Mat buys her when he's trying to win her. #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Tam: So I figured Kartana works for Tam, as it could be another example of a Pokemon common in the age of Legends but not so much now, much like his own power wrought sword. And a Poliwrath to help with watering crops and heavy lifting on the farm. #WheelOfPokemon 110
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Thom: Wow, how did I go this long without doing him. Now, here me out. Toxtricity to play backup for him. Just imagine this one is trained in a lute instead of electric guitar. And a Primarina to sing with him. #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Rahvin: So, he had a plan to make himself king of Caemlyn. So Nidoking immediately jumped to mind. Liepard because he wanted to steal his throne, and while it looks like a cat, it's no Andoran Lion. #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Asmodeon: Weirdly, music playing pokemon are kind of common. So, Kricketune as it looks like a violin and plays music on it's claws. Chatot because it can playback any noise it hears. Would be useful in composing, no? #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Mesaana: So, she's an evil teacher... not much to go with here. She has a preference for indoctrinating people. So I went with Alolan Slowking, as the Slowpoke is controlled by it's Shelldar crown. And Brongzong as it looks like it could be an Age of Legends school bell. #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Bel'al: Like Sammy and Demy, he'd have a dragon. I went with Dragalge, because it tangles its prey in its by tangling them in seaweed or it's fins. Not unlike a net. And Houndoom due to his love of using hellhounds. #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Demandred: Like Sammael, he'd have a dragon because Lews definitely did, and Garchomp looks pissed enough to be his. And I chose Golurk because it's an ancient machine, so it feels like it could be from the Age of Legends, and an robo-soldier seems super attractive to a general. #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Sammael: So he'd obviously have a Dragon, because Lews would have a Dragon. And Druddigon just looks like the perfect angry dragon for him. He was also a sports guy, so I think Machamp also fits. #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Moghedian: So... she's an evil accountant. Porygon-Z felt obvious. And she's the Spider, so an electric spider also seemed obvious. It hurt a little because I love Galivantual, but he just fits too well. #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Semirhage: Okay, I'm really proud of these choices. Weavile, as it's sharp claws could be useful for surgery, Naganadel as its a syringe dragon. Naganadel also works as it's an "ultra beast" a pokemon from another dimension. Probably common in the Age of Legends, now not so much #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Balthamel: Balthamel was a bit tricky, as he's an anthropologist, so I had to think what kind of monster would appeal to him. I did remember that he had a gambling problem, so Hitmonchan as a boxer made sense, and I figured Mr. Mime could help him cheat at card games or slots. #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Aginor: So Dracozolt was an easy choice, as it is a science experiment gone wrong and is a combination of animals. I though about using another combo mon, but that felt too easy. Alolan Muk was came to mind after a minute, as it was engineered to do it's job. #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Graendal: Vespiquen and Salazzle both because they're female only evolutions that rule over lesser members of their species. Salazzle also controls the minds of her harem of males using pheromones. #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Lanfear: Umbreon was fairly obvious, it's the moonlight pokemon after all. And Froslass as it's a white pokemon, is a girl only pokemon, it's a ghost which kinda fits with Lanfear's disappearing acts, and as an ice type it can really screw dragons up. #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Siuan: What? Her constant fish remarks made the choice of Gyarados and Milotic, two of the most iconic fish pokemon obvious. #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Moridin: I went with Hydreigon as it's the Brutal Pokemon, a Dragon, and just kind looks evil even though no pokemon is inherently bad. Same goes for Mightyena. Some might have gone with Houndoom, but this just felt more right to me, ya know? #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Gareth Bryn: Figured he should have the most classic bull pokemon, Tauros. And a commander needs a strong bodyguard, like Chesnaught here. #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Morgase: The Queen of Andor needs some queenly pokemon. So I figured I'd give her a Pyroar, a lioness after her own heart, and a Glaceon to fit the motif I gave her kids of having Eeveelutions. #WheelOfPokemon 100
Michael T Johnson @basicssuperhero.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Amys: Another Aiel I couldn't find the perfect fighting type for. Instead, I gave her a Flygon, dragon and king of the desert, and a Musharna, a tapir that eats dreams. Seemed appropriate for a Dreamwalker. #WheelOfPokemon 100
