Quote:Appalachian State: Geodude. Underrated. Sturdy, solid, great defense. At home near mountains.

Arkansas State: Rattata is a perfectly useful, offense-focused early Pokemon. No matter how many coaches change, or where your journeys take you, Rattata will always be willing to Hyper Fang you.

Georgia Southern: Digletts don't fly. They do everything with their ground game. And they'll absolutely hang 40 on you.

Georgia State: The Cable Club is the section next to the Pokemon Center where you can battle your friends. Fighting right next to a hospital seems very Atlanta.

Idaho: New Mexico State, but a tiny bit better and a tiny bit weirder. Omastar.

Louisiana-Lafayette: The Ragin' Cajuns probably need to be a seafood, right? Let's go with Cloyster, which we bet could taste great with enough butter.

Louisiana-Monroe: A hard-to-figure program near the heart of Duck Dynasty? That's clearly Psyduck.

New Mexico State: A far-flung program that isn't very good, difficult to use, and might be forgotten soon? That's Omanyte.

South Alabama: Elecmon. Elecmon isn't actually a Pokemon, but a Digimon, a rival, knock-off version of Pokemon. That's fitting, since South Alabama wants to just be a discount, knock-off Bama.

Texas State: Okay, now this is getting pretty tough. Thinking about Texas State football too long will probably make you sick, just like Koffing.

Troy: Zapdos, a legendary electric bird and the most badass Pokemon not yet claimed. It has nothing to do with Troy. We just felt like saying something nice about Troy.
