The Poptropican Elements of Harmony 🦄💎🌈

Gentle Dolphin

Hello, everypony! We hope you’re loving the Ponytropica Blog so far! This rebrand finally gave me the opportunity to ask this burning question: which six Poptropica characters would represent the Elements of Harmony? Without further ado, let’s begin!

The Element of Honesty represents more than telling the truth. A truly honest person is open about their intentions, stays true to their values, and accepts harsh realities. Which Poptropica character best fits this description?

Oliver Hartman, specifically the version of him from the graphic novels, fits this idea. He’s openly passionate about his interests and lets everyone know what’s on his mind. He sympathized with the Protectors’ mission to preserve the timeline, even if that meant tragedies would have to occur. And in the last book, he decided not to change the past when given the opportunity. He’s an honest kid who accepts life the way that it is.🍎

The Element of Kindness extends beyond being polite. Those aligned with this Element are highly empathetic and go out of their way to help others in need. Who in Poptropica is the kindest of them all?

Basho abandoned his samurai training and embraced a life of peace. While many would assume a ninja master to teach only stealth and combat, Basho encourages his students to help others because it’s the right thing to do. Even after his tyrannical brother summoned the destructive Red Dragon, Basho forgave him and offered to help rebuild Edo. Basho’s great compassion proves that he’s worthy of the Element of Kindness. 🦋

The Element of Laughter is all about spreading happiness. Those who represent this Element always look on the bright side and help others do the same. Which Poptropican can lighten the mood like no other?

Like Pinkie Pie, DJ Saturday Nite loves a good party. She kept her cool in the midst of a Zomberry outbreak and continued to play funky tunes until she was rescued. When she’s not surrounded by zombies, she can be spotted on Home Island inviting players to have fun in common rooms. Need more proof? She’s labeled as an optimist in the Zomberry Island pitch bible. Easy choice for the Element of Laughter!🎈

The Element of Generosity is easy to pretty understand. People aligned with this Element aren’t tied down by their possessions and make great sacrifices to help others. Which Poptropican regularly gives the most?

When his funds began to run low, Harold Mews promised to give the last of his wealth to whoever can prove the existence of cryptids. He rescued the player after they were sabotaged, provided resources for their adventure, and gave them his money as promised. If he hadn’t already promised to give away his money, Mews would have used it to build a sanctuary for Bigfoot. Mews devoted his time and money into researching and helping cryptids, so he’s my pick to represent the Element of Generosity. 💎

The Element of Loyalty represents devotion. Loyal people will stay by your side through thick and thin, and the most loyal of all are willing to put themselves in danger to save their loved ones. Which character is the most loyal?

All three knights of Arturus are deeply committed to protecting their kingdom, so much so that they travelled to distant planets to save Princess Elyana. If I have to pick one, it would be Sir Pelasus. In the Astro Knights book, he was the first to jump into action when Mordred invaded the kingdom. It was a close call, but Sir Pelasus won the honor of representing the Element of Loyalty. 🌩️

The Element of Magic is tricky to assign because its title is so vague. According to the MLP tabletop game, Tails of Equestria, those “aligned to this Element are sensitive to the most powerful of all Elements— the Magic of Friendship.” So, Friendship is Magic. Which Poptropica character values friendship the most?

I know this sounds like a reach, but hear me out. Amelia cares for her fellow adventurers, showing them the ropes and forming strong bonds along the way. Yes, she and the Red Baron had a falling out, but that doesn’t stop Amelia from trying to reconnect and being worried about her safety. Also, Amelia loves unicorns, so she’s basically a My Little Pony fan. Amelia may tell to not trust magic dudes, but you can trust her with the Element of Magic. ✨

And those are my picks for the Poptropican Elements of Harmony! Do you agree with my picks, or do you think some other characters are more worthy of representing these Elements? Leave your thoughts in the comments below!

Thank you for reading, and have a pony-tastic day!

Poptropica Characters as Pokémon Trainers — Part 2 🦸‍♂️👣👻

Gentle Dolphin

Happy Pokémon Day, everyone! Let’s celebrate by showing more Poptropica characters as Pokémon trainers.

If you want to know what Dr. Hare, Amelia, and DJ Saturday Nite would be like in this little AU, check out our first post in this series. Let’s hope for no more shutdown scares. 🤞

Ned Noodlehead wants to save the day!

Ned Noodlehead seems like your typical Super Nerd trainer, but he’s super in more ways than one. Ned owns a comic book shop where people read tales of great heroes like Gligarman and Accelguard. When trouble arises, he dons his super suit and fights crime with his super powerful team of Pokémon! 🦸‍♂️🌭

  • Palafin– Palafin is the quintessential superhero Pokémon. This unassuming dolphin can transform into its powerful Hero Form in battle. Fun fact: it evolves at level 38, which is a nod to Superman’s debut comic from 1938!
  • Gliscor– The Pokémon anime has an episode titled The Superhero Secret, which features Gliscor’s pre-evolution, Gligar, as a superhero’s sidekick. This line of caped crusaders is known for helping heroes, and its flight skills come in handy when catching flying fiends like Betty Jetty.
  • Magmortar– This Pokémon may not be the prettiest, but it certainly is a powerful special attacker. Members of the Magmortar line are used by fellow Super Nerd trainers, and they could act as a nod to Pop’s in-universe comic book, Lava Boys.
  • Electrode– Here’s another Pokémon frequently used by Super Nerd trainers, but this one specializes in super speed. Speeding Spike is shocked to finally meet his match!
  • Machamp-Being a super strong fighting type Pokémon, Machamp is a great addition to any superhero team. Its strength and prowess are unmatched, giving Crusher a run for his money. It also helps trainers in day-to-day life, so Ned’s Machamp moves heavy stuff around the comic shop.
  • Dachsbun– This adorable doggo may not be a hot dog, but it is a wiener dog. Dachsbun loves greeting customers and napping behind the front desk. Don’t underestimate it; its fighting skills are nothing to scoff at.

Gentleman Harold Mews wants to discover Pokémon!

Harold Mews is a reclusive billionaire who specializes in Pokémon cryptozoology. Throughout the years, he traveled to many regions in search of legendary and mythical Pokémon, and now he wants to inspire others to do the same. While his status is high, he is down to earth and cares for the Pokémon he finds. 👣🚁

  • Lapras– This Pokémon is inspired by one of the most famous cryptids in the world, the Loch Ness Monster. Since Nessie is prominent in Cryptids Island, it makes sense for Mews to have Lapras on his team.
  • Abomasnow– While there is no Bigfoot Pokémon as of now, Abomasnow is a close fit since it’s based on the Abominable Snowman aka the Yeti. Plus, the defunct Mews Foundation website mentioned that Mews pursued cryptozoology after discovering Yeti tracks on Mount Everest.
  • Malamar– This strange cephalopod is a nod to Archie the Giant Squid, whose existence inspired Mews to offer a reward for whoever discovered irrefutable proof that other cryptids exist.
  • Sableye– Although they’re not featured in Cryptids Island, the aliens spotted in the Kelly-Hopkinsville encounter inspired this Pokémon. Aliens can be considered cryptids, right? Also, Sableye’s gemstone diet is easily supported by Mews’ incredible wealth.
  • Persian-This fierce feline is a beloved pet of upper-class trainers. Persian and its pre-evolution, Meowth, know the move Pay Day, which rewards trainers with extra money when winning battles.
  • Mew– In the wonderful world of Pokémon, Mew can be considered a cryptid in of itself. It is an ancient elusive creature sought out by many explorers. Of course, it shares a similar name with Mr. Mews himself.

Madame Fiona wants to look for someone!

A rickety mansion by the sea harbors many old secrets. The silhouette of a woman appears at the top window and looks out at the sea, searching for something or someone. Few trainers dare to enter this mansion, fearing the Pokémon that take residence as well as the mysterious woman at the window. 👻🎻

  • Kricketune– The Cricket Pokémon is built like a violin and known for its famous musical cry. Its melodies soothe Fiona’s restless soul and creep out unsuspecting passersby.
  • Luvdisc-It is said that meeting this heart-shaped Pokémon promises couples loving, never-ending relationships. Fiona and Valiant likely would have encountered a school of Luvdisc near their seaside town long ago. Although death did them part, their love for each other never died.
  • Gothitelle– Fiona and Gothitelle share their love of black dresses and big bows. Fitting the town’s spooky nature, Gothitelle can see lifespans and cries upon learning when its trainer dies. Long after Fiona’s death, it senses her presence and stays in the mansion.
  • Banette– Old dolls line the shelves of Fiona’s house, so it not unlikely that some of them would become Banettes. They guard the mansion’s dark basement, keeping curious trainers on their toes.
  • Chandelure– After escaping the basement, trainers enter the mansion’s living room and contend with a grand Chandelure. Its life-draining flames pose a great risk to intruders.
  • Roselia (Shiny🌟)– Unlike normal Roselia, Shiny Roselia has a yellowed body and dark petals. It looks as if it had died before reaching its full potential. Since roses are heavily associated with Fiona, this Pokémon seemed fitting.
