These entries are created by the visitors for the visitors and then compiled by our writers Miror, Archangel, Ragnarok, Psynergy, KillerDraco & UR2L8. To get involved, Click here for the discussion forum
Today, we are covering a Pokémon introduced in the third generation. Hariyama practices its straight-arm slaps in any number of locations. One hit of this Pokémon's powerful, openhanded, straight-arm punches could snap a telephone pole in two. Hariyama's thick body may appear fat, but it is actually a hunk of solid muscle. If this Pokémon bears down and tightens all its muscles, its body becomes as hard as a rock. It stomps on the ground to build power. It can send a 10-ton truck flying with a straight-arm punch. It loves to match power with big-bodied Pokémon. It can knock a truck flying with its arm thrusts. So, here it is, the one-hundred & ninth entry, Hariyama.

Today, we are covering a Pokémon introduced in the second generation. Lanturn is known to emit light. If you peer down into the dark sea from a ship at night, you can sometimes see this Pokémon's light rising from the depths where it swims. It gives the sea an appearance of a starlit night. Lanturn is nicknamed 'the deep-sea star'ť for its illuminated antenna. This Pokémon produces light by causing a chemical reaction between bacteria and its bodily fluids inside the antenna. It blinds prey with an intense burst of light. With the prey incapacitated, the Pokémon swallows it in a single gulp. So, here it is, the one-hundred & fifth entry, Lanturn.
