About

A new Pokémon sonnet*, every Saturday (and also any other day I feel like but there will definitely be one on Saturday).

For those who don’t know, a sonnet is a poem that follows these rules:

I’m counting words like “fire”, “mile”, and “owl” as one syllable because “wire” is like “wide” but with a different consonant.

*Single stage non-legendary Pokémon (like Kangaskhan and Pinsir) will get limericks and will not count as the weekly sonnet.

To those who do believe that one can’t write

A group of sonnets, tales of which are spun

About each Pokémon, I’ll take your fight.

Here’s one for all one hundred fifty-one.

I’ll write to fill the Kanto Pokédex.

One piece for ev’ry evolution line.

And one for ev’ry diff’rent Nido-sex.

I shall discuss their traits and their design.

One sonnet written for each seven sun.

A rule of which I mustn’t ever break..

For one discrepancy amidst my run.

Would be an unforgivable mistake.

And stalling is a sonnet writer’s sin.

So without more explaining, I’ll begin.
