Dot and Needles

Based off of the Poke Tales versions, as opposed to their finalized toddler selves. Despite how it looks, they're actually close friends. Or maybe it just appears that way because Dot has no one else to play with, and Needles just takes it because the circumstance is mutual. I can imagine in the future, Dot becomes a Nini-like figure being all tough and protective of Needles, who is probably cowardly like Alternate Universe Nidorino. The only difference is it'll be more of a brother sister relationship, and Needles is just a nervous guy instead of a weird one.

My (Extended) Family

Nidorino's full family, regardless of extension, by the end of Poke Legends. Pictured is (clockwise from the top): Needles, Nidorino, Totodile, Chicolita, Diana, Eevee, Nina, and Nidorina. Nidorina would love more kids, but Nidorino refuses until the youngest is at least five, and they have gone up a peg in social economic status. It's a family of love, though, which is probably the whole underlying theme of Nidorino and Nidorina's segments in Poke Tales and Legends; Love and family.

Daily Grind

Nidorino works at a large business firm in Metroise, the major city of Poke Island. He always does his best to support his family.

The Dodrio, whose name I still haven't checked up on since I last posted this, is Nidorino's secretary. Yes, she has wings. The Pokedex says they have them, and I assume they never use them because they're tiny. They probably also blend in with the rest of the "fluff".

Not Like the Others

It's Mysterious. There's something different about Nidorino. He isn't aggressive or super powerful, and he looks different too. Back in his high school/college years, the other (jealous) Nidorino would haze him often. He was, however, the object of several girls affections, even though Nidorino's a nervous guy and didn't like the attention.

What are the odds that a cute Nidorino and Nidorina couple could have ever met in the future?

Loneliness

Based on Poke Tales #7: "Nidorina's Secret". Her first appearance, I might add, and a very important one. Crucial, even. I was listening to MOTHER3i's "Flowers" when I worked on this.

Bedtime Story

More motherly imagery of Nidorina and her adopted son, Totodile.

Just Call Me "Nidorie"!

Based on the 4th "episode" of Poke Legends, titled "Nidorina: Movie Star." Her rarity as a legitimately appealing Nidorina gave her a chance to star in an Indiana Jones-esque film. "Nidorie" (Nih-DOOR-ee) is a stage name. In the Pokemon film business, only one Pokemon of its kind is allowed to keep their Pokemon name, if they were never given another name at birth (i.e. John). It's first come, first serve, so for example, any subsequent Pikachu after the first one would be nicknamed "Pika", "Chu", "Chuka" and so forth. So obviously, Nidorina wasn't the first Nidorina on set.

Motherly

Based in the Poke Tales timeline, showing how Nidorina would take care of Eevee while he was temporarily adopted. Inspired by a scene in MOTHER 3, but then again, the Poke Island series is based off of the MOTHER series, and each remind me of the other.
