A Pokémon appreciation blog that gives each Pokémon a chance to shine, in order of the Pokédex. Personal Tumblr Credit: Icon / Sidebar ON SUMMER HIATUSTumblr (3.0; @pokemonoftheday)http://pokemonoftheday.tumblr.com/<p>I&#8217;d like to announce a summer hiatus for this blog. You may (or may not) have noticed a distinct lack of posts in the past month and a half. I&#8217;m so busy with work and travelling on weekends that I can barely keep up with my personal blog, let alone this one.</p> <p>There will likely be sporadic posting for the rest of the summer and then Pokémon of the Day will return in full force in September. See you then, or come visit my <a href="http://katieshmatie.tumblr.com">personal blog</a> and skip the wait!</p>http://pokemonoftheday.tumblr.com/post/53357641398http://pokemonoftheday.tumblr.com/post/53357641398Wed, 19 Jun 2013 09:49:57 -0400mod post<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/0df19d83da46d913053d0a01476f2901/tumblr_mnzcwkl9Wv1qc6wuno1_500.gif"/><br/><br/><p><strong>#550 Basculin</strong></p> <p><em>Hostile Pokémon</em>: <span>Red- and blue-striped Basculin are very violent and always fighting.

Litwick was first, followed by Basculin and since it was all on the same page and I had forgotten to bring my pencil sharpener to my spot, by the time I’d gotten comfy it was too late! That’s why Basculin’s lines seem much broader and rough.</p> <p>Part of an art challenge made by <a href="http://askrattyspokes.tumblr.com/"><a href="http://askrattyspokes.tumblr.com/">http://askrattyspokes.tumblr.com/</a></a> in which you randomly pick a Pokemon using <a href="http://wyncorporation.com/pokemon/"><a href="http://wyncorporation.com/pokemon/">http://wyncorporation.com/pokemon/</a></a> and then draw three differing character designs for that Pokemon.</p> </blockquote>http://pokemonoftheday.tumblr.com/post/52371441270http://pokemonoftheday.tumblr.com/post/52371441270Fri, 07 Jun 2013 06:33:08 -0400basculinlitwick<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/6c957eec988f3e6cbc226895dc461a27/tumblr_mnzctnDsvX1qc6wuno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://pokemonoftheday.tumblr.com/post/52367722686http://pokemonoftheday.tumblr.com/post/52367722686Fri, 07 Jun 2013 04:22:10 -0400basculin<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/0bfbe446a4509f828238aa9151a74706/tumblr_miyknfv5lJ1s57hjxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://pokemongeographic.tumblr.com/post/44323235722/by-namie-what-marine-tube-could-have-been">pokemongeographic</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>by <a href="http://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=3829860">Namie</a></p> <p>What Marine Tube could have been!
