Addendum to Dedenne by SkarmorySilver:

And another one from Skarmorysilver, who challenged me to come up with the damn thing in the first place!

RAIDENNE (Raiden [Thunder and lightning in Japanese]+Antenne [Antenna in French])
THIS IS A WIP. THE FULL POKEDEX WILL BE AVAILABLE LATER.
Thought I’d make a quick little something for pokemaniacal! The story here is that I challenged him to try and redeem one of his least favorite Pokemon from X and Y, Dedenne, into something genuinely creative. He came up with a Robin Hood-style folk hero with a tail like a bowstring, so I decided to go and put it on paper. There’s a bit of jerboa in the evolved form as well, just because it sounds like “gerbil”. The shiny colors are the same as Dedenne’s except with a darker shade of brown, cream instead of orange, and Robin Hood-style green instead of red.
I was actually going to look for some Japanese folk heroes to use as a source for the name, but the pun on characters named Raiden was too good to ignore. XD

I will it, and the internet makes it so! Many thanks to Z-Nogyrop for the creation of more awesomeness!

Oh no I did a thiiiiiiiing

Dendatic- Zap Arrow Pokemon

Defense- 77

Sp. Attack- 101

Sp. Def- 87

Speed- 121

New Moves- Flash Cannon, Zap Cannon, Pin Missile, Flamethrower, Nature Power, Focus Blast, Dazzling Gleam (remind me again why dedenne doesn’t already learn this), Signal Beam, Me First, Assist, Dark Pulse, Trick, Magic Arrow*

*Fairy, 90 power (because signature moves should always be better than their normal equivalents- I LOOK AT YOU, ZYGARDE), 100 accuracy, 10 PP, special, hits target’s physical defense

Same abilities, though I was kind of tempted to ditch Pickup for Mega Launcher.

Anyway this probably wasn’t exactly what you were looking for, but SCREW IT, I like it. Pin Missile is useless but flavourful, since, y’know, arrows. Zap Cannon was to have an Electric move that could be justified with the whole arrow-launching thing, Dark Pulse is in the same vein, Signal Beam because every other Electric-type (except Pachirisu, for some reason) learns it, Trick because I imagine this guy being pretty tricky, plus Dedenne already learns Thief and Covet. The name is up for changes, but I like it.

Spritzee and Aromatisse

Spritzee and Aromatisse are two more of those Pokémon that can only make you think “well, of course the French would have that.” French companies dominate the modern perfume industry, and only Italy can possibly compare to France’s reputation for perfume production. Kalos, not content with that, has also cornered the market on perfume Pokémon (anime Erika would kill for one of these things). While I have much more to add now, I have to stand by my original assessment of Aromatisse from my playthrough journal of X: “I feel like Big Bird’s French cousin is trying to seduce me.” Don’t you try to tell me you’re “just doing the can-can,” Aromatisse. That is a suggestive dance and you know it. I see the way you look at your trainers as you bare your leg salaciously. I’m watching you…
