Freaking awesome work, I've got to say. I've been reading through and you've provided a ton of inspiration to use Pokemon I usually overlook. Had a Bunnelby in my game against one of the trainers after your post, worked out really well. Freaking fantastic.

I'd like to put in a request for the Eevee brood. Especially Flareon, who still seems to be the black sheep of that family in this game...

And thanks for the requests! I was getting worried, as Scrafty was the only one left on the list (Although Ninetales isn't technically mountable)
I prefer going by rule of cool in my games anyway - in the game I'm running right now there's a criminal gang wreaking havoc on the region, each of its eight members elemental specialists that paid millions (in ill-gotten funds, of course) to an expert Breeder for a set of eight mountable Eeveelutions. The party's met the Glaceon trainer so far and has been terrified of her.

That and if you're not tired of legendaries yet, Keldeo would be cool as well. That one would be ridiculously hard for a rider to get used to.

Thanks! I thought I was going to struggle a lot with the Bunnelby post, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, especially the street performer one.

Hmmm, I probably won't do the whole evolution set, as I would probably get burned out on doing them (doing three in succession is already kind of taxing). However, I'll add Eevee and Flareon to the list, maybe one more if I find inspiration for it.

Keldeo is on the list! Legendaries provide some opportunities that others don't. They're easier to do 'whole campaign' suggestions, which I'm a big fan of. I'm not super familiar with the musketeers, but I'm always game for writing about unicorn pokemon. Might even do a Harry Potter drink the blood reference when I get to it.

If it helps, Flareon is the one I'm most concerned for, so if you can get to that one I'll be grateful regardless. :$

I just mentioned them as a set on the off-chance someone else had a thought and was just keeping mum for whatever reason.

Been reading these entries and I do have to say this is pretty high quality work. I love how each pokemon is fluffed and also given a bit of advise on how to use in PTU.

For requests, I would like toss in suggestions for the Phanpy (being one of my favorites) and Combee (it desperately needs some love and help) lines.

I've already go some ideas for Eevee, so I'm glad you mentioned the whole line and not just Flareon :)

Thanks! Most of this is honestly for GMs (unless PCs want to use the prompts as character inspiration I guess) but its cool to include the mechanical bits for the players too.

And Phanpy and Combee are both on the list now!

Fantastic article on Ninetales. One of my players started out with a vulpix and after a little in-universe research found that nine souls given willingly make a ninetales much more powerful than just a firestone ninetales. He is currently searching out a way to get those souls. When he does it, the ninetales will get the illusion ability/capability, a few more ghost types level up moves, and a few other cool tools to play around with. That said, might think of some curses for its tails.

I had a lot of fun with Ninetales. It's just such a great Pokemon for plot hooks. Also, your player might consider hitting up a Spiritomb for some souls. It has 108 of them, so it doesn't seem unreasonable for it to give some up if the PC does something for it in return.

I've read through these a lot. I always enjoy them. Great job! Keep it up. Just wanted to give you praise since it is definitely due.
