gotta catch ‘em all
I wanna be the very best like no one ever was
in honor of Pokémon’s 30th birthday, I put together a list of books that feel like pokemon, from just having a lil buddy hanging out to monster battles and more.
as always, taking any and all recommendations!
Druid Fantasy
Books with druids as main characters or major plot points.
First books in series only. This could exclude series where druids appear in later books.
Note: may contain nature magic, herbalists, shamans and nature themed witches based on vibes
My Protagonist is Smarter Than Yours
Books where the protagonist is anywhere from smart to genius, and that intelligence gets them through the plot. (Ie lots of characters are smart in dif ways, but these characters solve plot-based conflicts intelligently)
My Roman Empire is the Roman Empire
Books inspired by the Roman Empire but make it ✨️fantasy✨️
Strategy, brothers/sisters in arms, and weaponry
Another item of the list of "things I don't like irl that I'm eating up in books" : Military Fantasy
This Farmboy is Going on an Adventure!
A lot of classic fantasy features a farmboy—who might be more than he seems—going on an adventure and discovering the wide world beyond his agrarian sensibilities. While this list is called “farmboy,” I’m open to farm people of all genders. For series, only the first book is listed. As always, open to recs!
