With the recent launching of Pokemon GO in the Philippines, everyone in the Smark Henry staff went off to become what they have always dreamed to be: a goddamn Pokemon Trainer. Although some of us are double (or triple) the age of when Ash started his Pokemon journey, that didn't deter us from living our childhood dreams. The call was too great. And then we realized something: we can give our Pokemon nicknames.
And as responsible and mature adults, we decided to make puns. You knew it was bound to happen.
So here we go!
1. Gastly
Where's the pic, though?
2. Poliwrath
Well, he IS some sort of animal.
3. Paras
(Gotta admit, though, JDL had better puns for this)
4. Squirtle
(Could also have used Sunny, but we want to be PG-13)
5. Exeggcute
We're likely 10 events away from Barangay Trabajadores
6. Eevee
With evolutions as colorful as the Pride Flag
7. Vaporeon
And now we know where the mist for his entrance comes from
8. Rattata
9. Jolteon
Bakit 1hp?
10. Zubat
Ahhhhhhhhhh
11. Pinsir
Something's missing...

Tada!
(This is called going the extra mile)
Yes, folks. I believe we missed quite a few. But no matter, we'll just see what happens when we catch even more Pokemon this weekend!
