If house sigils were Pokemon...


P(IMP)

Recommended Posts

It occured to me that some Pokemon would fit in the places of the house sigils. For instance:

Targaryen- Hydreigon

Martell- Solrock

Mormont- Beartic

Arryn- Talonflame

Baratheon- Sawsbuck/Xerneas

Lannister- Pyroar/Entei/Luxray

Stark- Maybe Mightyena

Any other house-pokemon combinations would be good (or better fits for those listed) as well as any pokemonizations of the sigils b/c none exist.

Targaryen - I like Hydreigon, but the three-headed dragon should be symbolic rather than literal, so I'd prefer a three-headed Charizard. Plus, the Hydreigon has some rather unfortunate connotations considering how the two heads turn into three, albeit surprisingly accurate ones. Shame that the Tao Dragon isn't really a thing.



Martell - Solrock is the obvious choice. Not much to be said here.



Baratheon - Sawsbuck since Stantler's illusion schtick doesn't fit well with the whole "Ours is the Fury" sentiment.



Tully - either Feebas or Magikarp, since both of them seem unimpressive but have potential. In general, I'd go with Feebas over Magikarp since Feebas is noted to be tenacious. Not to mention that the Tullys don't really seem to fit the Gyarados's relentless rage.



Tyrell - Roserade. Ha ha. Looks nice but has thorns.



Lannister - Pyroar is the most leonine Pokemon that comes to mind for me, perhaps because of their hair. That said, the image of Tommen with cat Pokemon such as Espurr and Purrloin makes me smile.



Arryn - I like Pidgeot, but if we're considering the characteristics of the Pokemon rather than its appearance, Braviary might make a better choice. It's the kind of Pokemon that'd win the respect of people who prize knightly virtues.



Greyjoy - either Malamar or Tentacruel. The Tentacruel makes for a more fitting comparison, but the Malamar makes sense as a representation of Ironborn aspirations.



Stark - this is a hard one since there are a number of Pokemon based on dogs and wolves, but none that looks like a direwolf. Mightyena is not a bad choice save that it's obviously based on a hyena, which bugs me enough that I'd go with an Absol. They sometimes live in cold climates; they sometimes appear to protect humans; and their presence heralds ominous events ahead. You can even make winged wolf jokes with them.

Hmm then which Pokémon would Littlefinger take as his personal sigil? Chatot? With Golurk or something as the Titan and house Baelish sigil?








Mormont- Beartic





I actually think Ursaring might fit them better? Not sure why though :)

Okay pokemon sigils?



Well lets see:



House Greyjoy: Tentacruel



House Lannister: Persian, a feline with connotations to gold and money, fits well. Arcanine which has a mane also fits, but is obviously canine.



House Clegane-Houndoom, or Houndour. Sandor has connections to fire, and their sigil is three dogs. Houndoom are known for being violent, aggressive, and if burnd by their fire, the scars never heal. (and never stop hurting)



House Tyrell: Honestly there are a lot of grass-types that fit, roselia, roserade, and bellossom/vileplume all fit



House Targaryen: Charizard or Dragonite



House Tully: Magikarp



House Velaryon: Kingdra-dragons+sea-horses, kinda obvious



House Mormont: Ursaring, which are bear pokemon found in in mountains and colder climates



House Stark-Absol, as someone else pointed out, fit really well and are from the North. I'd say arcanine fit, but arcanine are connected to fire, not ice. Same with Houndoom.



House Arryn-Pidgeot, Braviary, Swellow all fit well. Even Togekiss does, in a way.



House Martell-Solrock, which also fits House Karstark



House Manderly-Poliwrath, for mermen



House Ryswell (red horses)-rapidash



House Whent-Golbat, or if Lothson was one giant golbat, they could be 9 smaller zubat in their sigil.



House Frey-technically, sneasels are based on weasel's, but apart from that, no resemblance.



House Reed-Feralgator (lizard-lions, aquatic)

Surprised no one did these:

Arryn - Articuno the colors are even right.

Targaryen - that shiny Gyarados from G/S

Stark - Gotta go with Absol

Tyrell - Vileplume from the top down he's a dead ringer aside from being the wrong color

Baratheon - Stantler or that new Deer thing from XY

Lannister - Arcanine, might be a dog, but he is perfect for it

Tully - Magikarp really looks alot like that trout...

Greyjoy - Tentacruel. Is there a giant squid pokemon on the new generations?

Martell - make this one fun...Zapdos. Or Ho-oh. They could be mistaken for the sun.
