Chibi Charmeleon



Commentary:
Even after evolving my Charmander to Charmeleon, I still could not defeat Brock. During my first run through FireRed, I chose Charmander as my starter. No matter what I tried, as a seven year old kid, I did not seem to beat Brock. After failing multiple times against Brock, I finally decided just to grind my Charmander to Charmeleon. I thought I could beat Brock with Charmeleon as it had a super effective move of metal claw, but I continued to fail. I eventually just gave up and restarted my game and chose bulbasaur as my starter. Yeah not the greatest experience with this Pokemon, but that was my brief spell of using a Charmeleon in a Pokemon game.

Pokedex Entry:
According to the pokedex, Charmeleon, is hot-head and excited by nature and only calms down after the battle. It attacks with its sharp claws and when it swings its tail it can raise the temperature to unbearable levels. The entry that is kinda of interesting is when it is excited in battle, it can blow bluish white flames. This was all the way back in the original yellow version. Somewhat explains why Charizard can turn into Mega Charizard X.

Model Details:
Pages: 1
Height: 2.58 in / 6.55 cm
Width: 1.53 in / 3.89 cm
Depth: 2.35 in / 5.97 cm
Notes: This model is not too difficult to build. Just build the head and body separately and them glue them together. The model will stand by itself, so do NOT worry about finding a way to get the model to stand. Besides that, I hope you enjoy building and stay tuned😄!

4-x-x Bloonjitsu Ninja Monkey





Commentary:
This is my favorite upgrade and tower in the game. It is so solid and decently cheap. You can get this tower with some camo lead popping power and bloom popping power and you are set for like round 30 to like 40 or 50ish (I only played on some easy, intermediate and a couple of advanced maps but nothing to difficult) and focus on farming😜. Even though the 0-4 Ninja monkey is arguably better in battles, this upgraded monkey is still quite usable in game. Overall, I like this monkey and is quite usable and a little bit too OP at times.

Description:
Throws 5 Shuriken's at once. How does it do that? It only has two hands. Even if it stacks the ninja stars on top of each why can't it stack more. Maybe it isn't skilled enough. I do not know I am just rambling now.

Model Details:
Pages: 2  or 4
Height: 2.90 in / 7.34 cm or 4.80 in / 14.68 cm
Width: 2.38 in / 6.05 cm or 4.76 in / 12.10 cm
Depth: 1.65 in / 4.19 cm or 3.3 in / 8.38 cm
Download: 3D Model / Templates
Notes: For this model I have included two sizes. The bigger model is easier to build than the smaller one. Also, I originally I forgot to make the cape so it is a separate file from the main one. This model is somewhat difficult to build the hardest part is building the head.

First build the bottom part of the head.



Then free hand glue the eyes and red part of the model to the bottom part of the head


Then free hand glue unconnected sides to the side of the head and attach the hat last. Besides that build the body is the same as building any other of my bloons tower defense monkey. If you have not made any other ones, go check them out, but here is the basic idea. Build the body from the top down, and attach the arms as you build down. Then attach the accessories like the waistband, shoulder plates and the ninja star to the body. Then, free hand glue the legs to the body in which the legs just cover the square in which it is suppose to be. The last thing to build is the cape. You can either make it 2D or 3D it is up to you. For 2D, just make the front and back of the cape, glue them together and then trim any of the extra white parts. Anyways, play with the location of the cape in order to allow the model to stand by itself. Besides that, I hope you enjoy building and stay tuned!

Chibi Lapras


Commentary:
The only thing I learned about this Pokemon was what Perish Song does. I never really used this Pokemon because the only time I did I used Perish Song. If you do not know what Perish Song does, after three turns of using the move, and you do not switch the Pokemon, all Pokemon who were on the field during the turn the Pokemon uses Perish Song faint. I did not know that, so when the A.I. switched its Pokemon I was extremely confused... and then I saw Lapras faint and was like...welp. I remember after the battle immediately deleting Perish Song for Surf. I think I continued using Lapras during that run, but I do not remember if anything else specific about using Lapras. I do find it funny/cute that there was a kid who bred and released Lapras because the Pokemon was considered going extinct according to the Pokedex.
 
Pokedex Entry:
According to the Pokedex, Lapras has a gentle heart, can understand human speech, and enjoys ferrying Pokemon on its back. Prior to Generation seven, Lapras were almost overhunted to extinction, however, after protective regulation there is now an overabundance of them. That is pretty cool after realizing a population was going extinct, people realized that they needed to change their behavior in order to save this Pokemon.

Model Details:
Pages: 2
Height: 2.85 in / 7.24 cm
Width: 2.54 in / 6.45 cm
Depth: 3.32 in / 8.43 cm
Notes: This model is not to difficult to build. When building the model build the neck, then build the shell and the rest of the body. Close the model with the tail and make sure to a weight in the model to allow it to stand by itself. Besides that, I hope you enjoy building and stay tuned!

Chibi Snorlax



Commentary:
The first time I played FireRed I remember not knowing how to get past this Pokémon for the story. After somehow completing Lieutenant Surge's gym puzzle (Yes the gym puzzle was much more difficult than the fight itself. May be because I did not know what adjacent as a kid), I went to the right and saw my path was stopped by a Snorlax. I then went left and defeated Erika and Sabrina (Yes I talked to every NPC as a kid and therefore got the freshwater). I realized that I could not go left of Erika because of the Snorlax in the road again. I had no idea what to do next as I could not go past the Marowak in the Lavender tower. I do not know how I got the flute, but I remember being completely lost on how to gain it. I think after running through the region I eventually learned that I needed to beat the team rocket base in Saffron before proceeding to defeat Lavender town. I eventually got the Pokeflute and used it to wake up the Snorlax. Funny enough, I ran away from the first Snorlax and thought that I could reencounter it. After learning from that mistake, I used the PokeFlute on the one near Celadon and caught and used that Snorlax for the rest of the run. 

Pokedex Entry:
We all know Snorlax. All it does is eat and sleep. Yeah that is all its Pokedex Entries are. The Pokedex just provides more information about the eating habits of Snorlax. For example, Snorlax eats around 900 lbs of food per day and does not care if the food is moldy or on the ground. That is insane, 900 lbs of food per day could feed 180-300 humans per day. Furthermore, Snorlax's acid is so strong that even Muk's poison only acts as a spice for Snorlax. Kinda funny imagining Snorlax instead of using tobasco sauce (Hot sauce) it uses a bottle of deadly posion instead.

Model Details
Pages: 2
Height: 3.23 in / 8.20 cm
Width: 2.84 in / 7.21 cm
Depth: 1.69 in / 4.30 cm
Notes: I actually redid the model so it is wider than it looks in the picture. Anyways, this model is very simple to build. Build the head and body separately and then glue them together. You do NOT have to do anything to get the model to stand. It can stand by itself. Besides that, I hope you enjoy building and stay tuned!

Chibi Espeon


Commentary: 
Before I begin, my printer is just about out of ink so sorry if Espeon looks more like a grey rather than a purple😅. Do not worry the templates ARE a nice rich purple. Back to the content😄.I always seemed to prefer this Pokemon over Umbreon. Eventhough Umbreon is statistically more defensive, it never seemed to be bulky and, in my opinion, had about the same bulkyness compared to Espeon. Furthermore, Espeon seemed to have better attacks compared to Umbreon. Espeon could pack a punch with Psychic, Dazzling Gleam, Shadow Ball or surprisingly Grass Knot. On the other hand, Umbreon had a weak Dark Pulse, a decent Shadow Ball and a non-stab Psychic that did little damage. As a little child who had no respect for non-damaging moves, I think you can figure out why I preferred using an Espeon over an Umbreon. I did use both Pokemon in my first runthough of Black 2, but that is a story for another day

Pokedex Entry:
So Espeon has three different Pokedex Entries. The first entry is pretty cute and makes Espeon seem like a stereotypical dog🐕 (Nothing wrong with that). According to this entry, Espeon is extremely loyal to its trainer and it is said to have developed psychic powers to protect its trainer from harm. The second entry states that it builds up psychic power during the day (has a hard time battling at night) and when it grows tired the orb on its head becomes dull and dark. Ah, so Espeon's orb in like a stamina bar in a sports game and it usually gets recharged during the day. Lastly, Espeon's sensitive skin can sense the change in weather and predict its foe's next move. Okay, I can understand its ability to sense the weather, but how can it predict other Pokemon's move through its skin. I am lost how that works🤷‍♂️. I can not even think of a plausible explanation on how that coud work.

Model Details:
Pages: 1
Height: 2.35 in / 5.97 cm
Widht: 2.70 in / 6.86 cm
Depth: 2.88 in / 7.32 cm
Notes: This model is very easy to build. The only recommendation I have is to put a small weight in the body so the model can stand by itself. Besides that, I hope you enjoy building and stay tuned!

Chibi Sandile



Commentary:
I used this and its evolution Krokodile in a Pokemon Black playthrough, but I do not remember anything specific about using this Pokemon in game. The only cool thing I remember about Sandile is Ash's Sandile in the anime had sunglasses. Besides that I like the concept of this Pokemon and the design looks pretty cool.

Pokedex Entry:
According to the Pokedex, Sandile lives buried in the sand to prevent their body temperature from dropping. It can have its eyes and nose peaking out of the sand due to a dark membrane protecting its eyes from the sun. Furthermore, Sandile has powerful legs allowing Sandile to push threw the sand as if it was swimming. The entry makes sense scientifically and logistically. Sandile also has a pretty funny pokedex entry stating that it hunts by concealing itself in sand and chomping down on prey that walks over it and that its favorite snack is a Trapinch. Well.....nature I guess and secondly I do not want to ever walk in a desert in the Pokemon World to protect myself from getting my leg bitten off. I am pretty sure this is the first time I have seen an example of Pokemon eating other Pokemon in an entry.

Model Details:
Pages:1
Height: 1.07 in / 2.72 cm
Width: 1.13 in / 2.87 cm
Depth: 2.69 in / 6.83
Notes: This model is quite straightforward and easy build. I recommend folding the lines around the eyes if you are building lineless to get a cleaner look and you will need to add a weight, I used a coin, in the body of the model so the model can stand up by itself. Besides that, I hope you enjoy building and stay tuned!

Chibi Zygarde Complete Forme


Commentary:
So how does this make sense. Zygarde evolves from a dog to a snake and to a transformer. No not the one that steps up or steps down voltage (For those electrical engineers), but the one that would be called up by Optimus Prime after changing from a car to a killing robot. I never watched Digimon, but the Zygarde evolution line makes me think on how Digimon evolves as my only exposure is the meme where they show how natural Pokemon evolution and how odd Digimon evolutions are. So yeah I do not get how this evolution line works but okay. Besides that I never really used this Pokemon Showdown or in the main game so I call I can say is insult the weird evolution Zygarde undergoes to turn in a transformer.




Pokedex Entry:
So I concluded that Zygarde 50% Forme was basically an aggressive Lorax. Well this Pokemon seems to be the same but on steroids. According to the Pokedex, Zygarde has enough power to overwhelm Xerneas and Yvetal (I assume it is much much stronger than both). Furthermore, Zygarde 100% Forme uses these powers to neutralize those who endangers the ecosystem. What does Pokemon mean by neutralize? I am going to assume that Pokemon did not want to say off with so they used neutralize instead. So yeah.... Zygarde 100% Forme is the Lorax who has God-Like power that is not afraid to eliminate anyone in order to protect the ecosystem. Yeah I do not want to be caught littering if this Pokemon is around.

Model Details:
Pages: 5
Height: 4.50 in / 11.43 cm
Width: 6.31 in /  16.03 cm
Depth: 4.41 in / 11.20 cm
Notes: This Pokemon is alright to build, refer to the PDO for help. When building the model, first build the body. Attaching the piece with the smile to the main circle and then attach the back part to the main circle making sure to free hand glue the arms to the front part. Then build the lower body but do not close the model. Next, build the head and its headpieces and attach it to the body. Build and attach the mouth piece to the head and then glue the front triangles to the body. Finally, build all the cape-like parts and then use them to get the model to stand by itself by angling them any way you want. Besides that, I hope you enjoy building and stay tuned!

Chibi Wartortle



Commentary:
I do not remember much about this Pokemon. I used it multiple times in FireRed, but for some reason I do not remember much about it. This may be because when Squirtle was a Wartotle, Lt.Surge and Erika were the two main gym leaders and I am not using a water type against those two leader. I do remember making the bigger version of this model when I was younger but it was messy as I used tape instead of glue. I am pretty sure I threw it away awhile ago, but it was one of the first bigger papercrafts I did in grade school

Now that I have made Wartortle, you can build all three Pokemon in the Squirte line in Pokemon Rumble Form. 



Pokedex Entry:
According to the Pokedex, Wartortle's furry tail is the sign of longevity and Wartortle can live up to 10,000 years. One can tell the age of a Wartortle by seeing how deep the color its tail is (I have no idea what that means) and the amount of algae on its shell. Furthermore, Wartortle uses its ears and tail to help maintain balance once it swims. Ok, my question is how does Wartortle live about twice as long as the oldest known tree (which is named the Great Basin Bristlcone Pine if anyone wants to look it up) and what does it do its entire life. I imagine it going to get bored after a good portion of its life as it will just run out of things to do. Also, how did scientists figure this out because the first human record only goes back 5000 years so there is no way that people could perform at test on it (Probably carbon tested a live Wartotle now that I am thinking about it. Wait that means one Wartotle could have watched the entire evolution of humans and technology😮. Woah. 

Model Detail:
Pages: 1

Width: 2.05 in /  5.21 cm
Depth: 2.38 in / 6.05 cm
Dwonload:  3D Model / Templates
Notes: This model is not too difficult to build. Build the body from the feet upward and build the head downwards attaching the ears before closing the head. Attach the two together once each one is completed. Finally, to get the model to stand, adjust the angle of the tail and glue it on once you are happy with the look. Besides that, I hope you enjoy building and stay tuned!

Chibi Zygarde 50% Forme


Commentary:
So how does a dog🐕 turn into a snake🐍. I know other Pokemon make a huge jump between species during evolution but I do not get it with this one🤷‍♂️. If you read the 10% commentary you know that I was unable to use that one properly in Pokemon Showdown. Surprisingly it is the opposite with this Pokemon. Whenever I get a Zygarde 50% forme in random battles, I usually do pretty well using it. I will occasionally sweep teams, if I set up one or two Dragon Dances, but normally it will knock out one or two Pokemon before it faints itself. It is properly due the 50% forme having a little more defense in exchange for speed, but hey I prefer using the 50% forme over the 10% forme. Besides that I never have used this Pokemon in any other game. The only other knowledge I have of Zygarde is when there was a rumor of a Pokemon Z coming out after X and Y.

Pokedex Entry:
Interesting. All of Zygarde's entries are consistent. According to Pokedex, when 50% of the core forms gather(hence the name of this Pokemon....duh) it wipes out those who oppose it. Furthermore, it monitors the ecosystem. So this Pokemon is the Lorax if the Lorax was more aggressive and was a snake and was a legendary Pokemon and is green. Yeah I do not know where I was going with this, but now all I can think of Zygarde being a more forceful Lorax.

Width: 3.33 in / 8.46 cm

Notes: This model is somewhat difficult. When building the head there is one tab that connects the head spikes to the head. You can either open the PDO to find out how to connect them or you can just free hand glue the head spike to the head. The mouth/teeth part of the head can will free hand glued to the bottom of the head. Build the body from the neck down closing at the bottom of the tail. Before closing the model, place a small weight, like a coin, inside the model to get it to stand up properly. After balancing the model, attach the back and side pieces (which can be built by folding the piece on itself and trimming extra white that sticks out or you can just use the tabs, I did the former). Finish by attaching the tail spikes and attaching the head to the body. Besides that, I hope you enjoy building and stay tuned!

Basic Glue Gunner

 

Commentary:
This monkey slows down balloons, that is all it does. Later upgrades make this tower pretty useful as it can actually do damage and slow M.O.A.B class balloons, but until then this monkey is pretty useless. Personally, this tower is not my cup and tea and you will only catch me using the 0-2-1 Glue Gunner in the early game. Besides that I stay far away from this tower.

Entry:
It shoots slobs of gluing slowing down the balloons to 50%. So it basically slows down balloons and that is about it.

Model Details:
Pages: 2 or 4
Height: 2.89 in / 7.34 cm   or  5.00 in / 12.70 cm
Width: 1.54 in /  3.91 cm   or  2.67 in / 6.78 cm
Depth: 2.44 in / 6.20 cm    or  4.22 in / 10.72 cm
Download: 3D Model / Templates
Notes: For this model I have included different sizes. The bigger size is the easier the model is to build of the two. If you have built any of my Bloons Tower Defense models before, it is very similar to how to build those. If you have not, here the basic instructions. First build the head. For this model in specific you will need to trim the ears so they are not as large, and I have provided the option to make the eyebrows 2D or 3D. Use the PDO to help build the arms and attach it to the body when you get there. Finish building the body, but DO NOT glue the legs yet. Next build the hose and glue bucket and attach it to the body. Sorry but there was no connect piece between the hose and the bucket so...yeah. Next build the legs and tail. When building the legs, you can free hand glue the feet to the leg. As long as the the leg is in the general region of the feet it is fine. Lastly, to get the model to stand free hand glue the tail and legs (to the general area where they are suppose to be glued to but do not have to be glue directly to the tabs assigned to) to a location in which the model can stand by itself. An viola the model is done. Besides that, I hope you enjoy buiding and stay tuned!

Chibi Zygarde 10% Forme

 

Commentary:
I have used this Pokemon many times in Showdown, but..... I never seemed to get it to work. Rather whenever my opponents gets it, they always manage to sweep me. Whenever I use it, I would set up a  dragon dance and then in like two turns get burned or paralyzed or OHKOed. Even with its ability to transform to its 100% forme after hitting a certain HP level, this Pokemon somehow still gets knocked out too easily. Odds on me using this Pokemon wrong is pretty high, but after using this Pokemon many times it never has come good for me.

Pokedex Entry:
According to the Pokedex entry,  whenever 10% of Zygarde cells are collected it turns into this forme and can run as fast as 60 mph as wells posses quality closed range combat by using attacks such as leaping into its opponents chest and sinking its fang into them. The funny part of this Pokemon is according to Pokemon Sun's after a period of time this Pokemon falls apart. Huh! What?! I am assuming that it will break apart into its core form again, but how long is this period of time and why does is fall apart. Can the core decided when to break apart? I do not know I just found this part quite surprising.
