Pokémon Sayings/Proverbs

[ReKoil]

Based on some Pokedex entries I saw that had some of these, I thought this could make for a fun game.
Below are already existing examples from the PokeDex:
-Murkrow - They awaken at dusk and take wing in the twilight, leading to the expression, "Get home before the Murkrow fly."
-Togepi - A proverb claims that happiness will come to anyone who can make a sleeping Togepi stand up.
-Shuppet - There's a proverb that says, "Shun the house where Shuppet gather in the growing dusk."

So... Either think of a Pokemon or randomly generate one, then try to make a saying or proverb about it or relating to it! Incorporate the Pokemon's name into the saying or proverb so other people know which one you're talking about (though it could perhaps be fun too to try and guess it...maybe spoiler the Pokemon if you don't incorporate it into the saying/proverb?) =3
You can of course use already existing dex entries as inspiration.

For example... the first Pokemon coming to mind for me right now is Alolan Ninetales. So perhaps something like...
"Those without a virtuous heart are better off taking the roads more often traveled in snowy mountains to avoid Alolan Ninetales, lest they become ice sculptures."

Randomed into Nacli.

"Look for value beyond what is shiny and rare. Discovers fine things in the Nacli of the earth too."

 

[VisionofMilotic]

I was thinking of Ho-oh.

"After every storms comes a Rainbow Pokémon."

 

[ReKoil]

"Be wary of the stranger whose keys are shunned by Klefki."

 

[A Wild Buneary]

"Don't slide down the lopunny hole. The way down is a breeze, but climbing back's a battle."

 

[Devalue]

"Came in like a Sunkern from the sky." Says this to express something surprising, like an unexpected family visit or good/bad news.

Pokedex entry for Sunkern:

It suddenly falls out of the sky in the morning. A year after a cold summer, their population explodes.

Apparently just rains Sunkerns. Wants to see this happen in-game.

 

[ReKoil]

"To examine things like a Smoochum would is to invite discomfort into the hearts of strangers."

based on a PokeDex entry "Its lips are the most sensitive parts on its body. It always uses its lips first to examine things"

 

[Devalue]

"Turn your anger into something productive, like a Typhlosion hiding itself with its heat."

Hides itself using heat shimmers. Becomes extra hot when enraged. Stretched a little in linking the two.

 

[ReKoil]

"Wish upon passing Minior's sparingly, lest they become too heavy and come crashing down on to you."



Would likely be a saying urging people to not to be too greedy, or something bad will happen. Based it on 2 dex entries that are unrelated to each other:
"Originally making its home in the ozone layer, it hurtles to the ground when the shell enclosing its body grows too heavy."
"Minior that fall to the ground try to return to space, but their wish will not come true—all they can do is fade away."

 

[VisionofMilotic]

"LUVDISC's heart-shaped body is a symbol of love and romance. It is said that any couple meeting this POKéMON is promised a loving relationship that never ends." - Pokemon Sapphire

 

[LilyGardy]

Based on Lilligants Black entry:

Even the most experienced can struggle to curate true beauty like the flower of a Lilligant.

 

[ReKoil]

"It's better to be cast adrift like an Eiscue, than to frantically run around like a Cyclizar."

 

[Devalue]

"Welcome everyone like a Cleffa. Journeyed a long way from home to see where you live."

 

[ReKoil]

"Be careful not to love food too much lest you'll grow your own like Tropius."

 

[Devalue]

To "scream like a Guzzlord", instead of screaming like a banshee.

See: the Guzzlord screaming compilation on Youtube.

 

[LilyGardy]

Based on the Legends Arceus Petilil entry:

When feeling weary be aware you may find vigor in the most unusual place like the leaves of a Petilil

 

[ReKoil]

"When an optometrist gets rich off people who are fooled by a Sudowoodo, Grumpigs must've gotten wings and started flying around."


"Though it pretends to be a tree, it fails to fool even children. To the touch, its body feels more like rock than tree bark. Sudowoodo's extreme aversion to water merits special note. "

 

[LilyGardy]

Based on Gothitelle's Sword entry:

Even one that can predict the future using the stars in the sky should not rush into conflict.

 

[Devalue]

"Always look for a Nosepass if you are lost. Points due north."

 

[VisionofMilotic]

"It is said that happiness will come to those who see a gathering of CLEFAIRY dancing under a full moon." -Pokemon Platinum dex entry
