Charmander, Charmeleon, Charizard

If grass is not the type you like to use

Then maybe try the lizard who’s of flame.

For out of all the monsters you can choose

Charmander is most picked in the first game.


Don’t be too quick to judge this tiny thing

Because the magic level’s thirty-six

And soon he’ll be a dragon sprouting wings

A greater inventory of fire tricks.


But hear this now- this lizard has a curse.

The flame that’s on its tail is weak to rain.

For if the flame were ever to disperse

The lizard dies- and that means grief and pain.


So if you choose to choose it as your ‘mon

Be sure to love it so from dusk to dawn.

Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, Venusaur

One choice of three for each new trainer’s quest.

A salamander, turtle, and a plant.

Now, which of the three monsters is the best?

Well, this one fights with plants ways others can’t.


A dinosaur with powers of the vine.

A small, and green-eyed beast called Bulbasaur.

Three stages in its evolution line.

It’s followed by Ivy, then Venusaur.


This starter is one beast of only two

Who’s first stage has a type of more than one.

With not just grass abilities- it’s true!

But also using powers of poison.


And if you cared to know its hidden skill,

This Pokémon is blessed with Chlorophyll.

Overview

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.
