On the "Grass Divas"

A few Grass-type Pokémon have a certain unique form. They are bipedal with an appearance that suggest a feminine quality, even though they may be either male or female. As such, I've taken to call them "Grass divas" because of the characteristics that they have. They're also popular in some ways among the fandom, so I thought I'd take a post to highlight them.

Bellossom happens to be one of them. Some fans may have the privilege of getting to know the species from the short animated film that features it, while others might know it straight from the games themselves. The Pokémon has a unique place as one of the branches of evolution for the first-generation Pokémon of Gloom, and among the first with such an honor. It's miniature, but it's still nonetheless a "diva" of sorts.

Roserade is the next "diva" of sorts. Its flowery appearance is a given for its feminine aura. In recent memory, Trainers in Pokémon Go will recognize it as the evolved form of Roselia for a past Community Day with some phenomenal aspects. Its stature may be considered emblematic among all the Pokémon I'm highlighting in this post. 

Then, there are two from the fifth generation. Leavanny is not purely Grass as it is partially a Bug type, but it fits regardless. Avid watchers of the anime ought and will recognize it as one of Ash's Pokémon, evolved all the way from a humble Sewaddle. According to lore, it's also an avid seamstress of sorts, which makes it even fitting as a "diva" representative in its mannerism and appearance, as I deem fitting to include.

Lilligant is the other one from the fifth generation. I've already noted a friend's penchant for this Pokémon a long time ago, and that still applies. What applies even more and pertinently now is that it looks like a "classy lady" wearing a hat, and that could help to make sense of my friend's penchant according to this post's key idea.

Many Pokémon are unique in their appearance and qualities, and so are the four Pokémon that I've highlighted above. Besides their other claims to fame, they're representative of a more genteel appearance characteristic of the female gender, as well as of a Pokémon type that is evocative of nature. That's unique and attractive enough for me and fans who appreciate "natural beauty", even in this manner.
