Pokemon characters that are Filipino. TO ME.

Brendan

He just strikes me as your typical Filipino kid. Does the thing where he jumps whenever he comes across a door to slap the door frame. Dribbles the air without a ball. Also Hoenn is pretty much the Philippines of the Pokemon world anyways. (Too much water, fucked up weather, weird shit happening)

Juliana

Okay, she's half Spanish, half Filipino, but whatevs. You can barely tell anyways. More fluent in speaking Filipino tho. Says, "Mama mo"[1] whenever she's being teased and she gets annoyed with them

Cheren

Just trust me on this one, he's Filipino. To Me. He's technically half, but the Filipino genes are strong. Speaks in conyo[2] sometimes because I like making fun of him, and also not very fluent in Filipino in the first place (raised in Unova which is the equivalent of America)

Crispin

His name is Crispin, what did you expect me to do, huh. That's the most Filipino sounding name I've ever seen in the whole Pokemon franchise. Also made me think of Crispin from Noli me Tangere and another Crispin from Trese. Just trust me on this one, okay

Gou

He's Filipino. Trust. Definitely somewhere from the province. Starts muttering in Bikol[3] with the most intense accent ever whenever he's frustrated. Okay, actually Gou is from Albay, Philippines now because I say so. Chucking this boy into Albay.

TLs:

[1]: Mama mo = Your mom

[2]: Conyo is basically Taglish (Tagalog + English). It's also usually used to refer to people who are from rich families and they usually speak in Taglish. Example: "Let's punta (go) sa mall bukas (tomorrow)." It's kind of cringe or weird to hear especially if you're a native Filipino speaker (and especially if you're from the province).

[3]: Language spoken in the Bicol region which is composed of Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Albay, Sorsogon, Catanduanes and Masbate. Bicol is the region, Bikol is the language. It's kind of hard to explain, but every region has like different ways of saying things.

Five in One Post

First off, I want to Congratulate my Filipino Friend on getting 2000 Posts on his profile, Keep up the good work, my friend! 😊👍

Now to his On this Day Post

I haven't drawn Sanrio characters in a while too. But since Flat has got his very own weapon, it might come in handy for him despite it being a heavy weapon, maybe he might build up the strength to get used with that weapon to make him strong enough to use it. Even MyMelody, Kuromi and even My Sweet Piano might think it would be useful to him. Besides the beam rifle.

And my response to Alex.

You know what, our Filipino Friend has a point. Because you have to remember what is in that post and read first to remember about it. Plus I have played Wangan Maxi Tune a lot at the Arcades. But if you haven't played the series, maybe you should check it out yourself when you next time go to the Arcades. And also Banapassport will be required to give the game a shot and save some of your vehicles. Once after you first test out the game yourself. But you can still use the Banapassport for Mario Kart Arcade GP DX as well if you want to save stuff for that game.

Shadow R 😺🗡️: And Alex, Spot and Riya both didn't understand when you mentioned about that Devil Z car the twins have got encountered to. But you got to remember who that character is. Because that vehicle might not be me or my sister.

Tory 😺🩰: Agree. Because you boys didn't have to be so Naive. Here's what my brother and our creator would say to our Filipino friend as well as for the Speedster Twins.

Me: Thank you, Shadow and Tory.

If I was playing that game at the Arcades again, then I'm sure Shadow and Tory will race with Spot and Riya at that game besides Mario Kart Arcade GP DX.

Shadow R 😺🗡️: That's right. And we'll always remember to have a Banapassport if we want to save our vehicles and parts for it.

Tory 😺🩰: Yup. Just like we'll do the same with Mario Kart Arcade GP DX.

Shadow R 😺🗡️: And also fun fact, Did you know that Tekken Tag Tournament 2 also uses a Banapassport too? Because our creator read online saying that not only the Banapassport works with Wangan Maxi Tune and Mario Kart Arcade GP DX, but it also works with Tekken Tag Tournament 2 as well. But I forgot what they do in that version of Tekken Tag Tournament 2. I'm sure my creator will find out again.

Tory 😺🩰: Of course. You and Dad do enjoy fighting games a lot.

Shadow R 😺🗡️: mmhmm.

And finally a response to my Filipino Friend and Rita.

Me: Thank you. My mom is really excited to go somewhere with it. And since we'll be getting rid of our old one which we're lucky we don't need our 2000 Honda Passport anymore, at least my mom can sell it.

Debby 😺📱🖥️: Yup. And we might earn lots of cash for selling a vehicle. Just like how my son was with his Gran Turismo experience besides your Kid's experience with Gran Turismo, as well as for your husband. And since our creator is going on Vacation, I'm sure we can go on vacation together too. Since my son will bring Lisa and my Grandkids along. And if you and your family went on vacation already, it wouldn't hurt you guys to either go again with us or we can have the Rabbits come along with us.

Shadow R 😺🗡️: Yeah and I'm sure my mom and I can take you guys with on the trip. It'll be lots of fun!

[kiyzeiin-moved]

okay ! rubs hands together. continuing with these and dipping

actually. i was in a mood. sanji has always been wasian to me. japanese and french to be exact. (his dad is the french one).

ace - tongan 🇹🇴 i personally cannot believe how very pacific islander coded him, LUFFY, and jimbei all are in different ways but somehow it’s an unpopular opinion. beats me, but this is my truth.

sabo - umm argentinian 🇦🇷 and dominican 🇩🇴. ace and luffy’s palagi brother, yeah

dadan - look into my eyes and hold my hand... dadan is melanesian. she’s solomon islander and brazilian 🇸🇧🇧🇷

a few additionals:

shanks - filipino 🇵🇭

law - puerto rican makes the most sense to me. look at him. he’s not german, oda doesn’t know what he’s talking about most of the time or he just doesn’t know some things yet. that man is latino 🇵🇷

bonney and kuma - australian aboriginal OR māori ! i’m hitting so many with the islander beam but seriously, they’re canonically australian. so why not just make them indigenous 🇦🇺/🇳🇿

hancock and her sisters - indigenous chinese 🇨🇳

edit: had to fix a few typos, i was tired while typing all this forgive me 😭

So you already discussed your hc for Luffy's ethnicity but what about the rest of the crew?

great question, i’ve been pondering about this for a while, it’s just when i saw luffy, i just knew he was my pasifika cousin 😭 i have reference sheets w all their hcs i’m working on to post later but let me go ahead n lay out rq how i would imagine the strawhats! i try to be as canon compliant as possible when assigning them.

usopp - afro-caribbean, specifically jamaican 🇯🇲

luffy - indigenous on both sides. so afro native samoan-brazilian. i stand by that forever. polynesian luffy real 🇼🇸🇧🇷. malagasy too. historically malagasy people are austronesian relatives as well anyway (malayo-polynesian) 🇲🇬

nami - thai-swedish. she’s ethnically fully thai, but when bellmere found her and nojiko, she took them to her hometown in sweden to be raised. im a firm believer in southeast asian nami 🇹🇭🇸🇪

zoro - afro japanese-caribbean. been a blasian zoro truther since day one. so japanese and haitian 🇯🇵🇭🇹

robin - double native as well !! native costa rican, the bribri people, and indigenous to eastern russia, yupik. she’s a challenge to figure out but i just know this is a native woman. 🇨🇷🇷🇺

jimbei - melanesian cousin fijian-indian !!! 🇫🇯🇮🇳

franky - italian american. only fueled by how water 7 is allegedly based on venice 🇮🇹🇺🇸 but also consider panamanian franky …🇵🇦 exactly. so he’s either panamanian or italian american to me

brook - afro-austrian ethiopian. an ethnically east african black man from austria(i also get new orleanian from him IF he were american)🇪🇹🇦🇹

chopper - if he were a human, indigenous canadian first nation (inuk) absolutely 🇨🇦

vivi - nubian and sudanese vivi on top !!! 🇪🇬 🇸🇩

sanji - french ……… 🇫🇷

i have headcanons for ace, sabo, dadan and some other characters too but this post is getting really long. to be continued !

[wheucto]

hey. what. what if. what if filipino fan

[auburnitzy]

Idk if anyone has ever told you this but I am stupidly excited every time you post something abt Nawa

I was never exposed to Filipino Mythology as often like Greek or Chinese. It kind of made me lose touch with the mythology my mom grew up on.

So seeing your character and the mythology she’s based off of really got me going to get into Filipino creatures :^D

aha!! same!! i don't really see much media of philippine mythology outside of the country, and i didn't want to accidentally offend people when i make a chinese oc because i made a mistake

below the (read more) option is some concepts and early designs of nawa!! (mostly me just rambling ab nawa's history as a character)

february 2022, the earliest known design of her was made in gacha club.

she wasn't filipino yet (chinese-japanese actually) and was named "yurei zhou"

i didn't even bother researching the last name because i was that ignorant.

we don't talk about this era because i am ashamed of it. what an embarrassing time.

if anyone is reading this i'm sorry for doing that :(

this was created march 4, 2022 according to my ibispaint x files, and is the very first naotian/lunarnoodles art i made.

by this time, i was simping for mk because i loved dorks (and still do to this day)

back then, she didn't really wear the sleeveless turtleneck thing, it was a black turtleneck dress (WITH SLEEVES!! 🤯) underneath a a short jacket/vest.

her name was also changed to "yue zhou" because at this point, i realized that "why the heck would i name her yurei zhou if i'm not japanese? that's weird."

i also haven't decided whether she was purely filipino or filipino-chinese

she had red shoes and frankly, i don't know why i chose that. honestly it was an eyesore.

next up we got a more-LEGO looking concept (dated march 8, 2022)

her name was changed to nawa (no last name yet), because i realized "wow, i am not chinese either!!" and said "FILIPINOFICATION BEAM ACTIVATE!!! 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭" and now she's turned fully filipino

for some reason, her horns also changed to black like thoma's from genshin.

by march 30, 2022, her horns had turned to gold with violet edges, with two slits. however, her shoes were still red, and had gold pins on her jacket.

she still had no bell because there was no backstory formed for her at the moment.

october, 2022 came, and i went "ooo i don't wanna misinterpret chinese mythology" so i turned to filipino mythology instead

her backstory used to be something like this;

"chang'e used to be best friends with an ancestor of nawa's (even gave the ancestor the bell as a gift), until that ancestor tried to eat the moon so the celestial realm banished that ancestor inside the bell and was passed down to her descendants. nawa tags along with mk in s3 to return the bell as an apology to chang'e because the ancestor had wanted to apologize and was haunting her descendants to do that for her"

obviously that's not the backstory and plans anymore, and lualhati (the ancestor) was eventually scrapped

her last name, "elyas" was eventually formed and taken from the character "elias" from one of jose rizal's (a hero in philippine history) book's noli me tangere, because at the time, a show called "maria clara at ibarra" aired at october 3, 2022, and i got so hooked on the show that i made her last name elyas.

then february, 2023 came and i was like "my gosh,,, her backstory is garbage,,," and revamped everything.

i wanted her to be more fleshed out, but i still didn't think of a full backstory yet-

and because I was impulsive and not thinking, i still made her a reference

late february, 2022 came and i said "so, she has bakunawa blood, right? why not give her a DRAGON FORM?"

at this point, i made her accidentally kill her sister (she was being silly and goofy guys) (YOU SINK INTO MY CLOTHES 🐺🐺🌙), made her despise her bakunawa heritage after that and gave her trauma (because that builds character!!!)

i also made her mother (who was originally kind in the fanfiction) into someone who blames her for her sister's death and be the one to give her the bell

and now we land here, early march of 2023, so i said "what if she actually recovered from that trauma i gave her? 👉🏽👈🏽 and what can i do to make her more associated with the moon?"

so the idea of mk helping her heal and love all of herself and her "imperfections" was born!!

(according to the wiki, mk thinks that there is perfection in imperfection, goofy lil dude <33)

her hair turned white because nawa came to love her bakunawa side, and because of that- she became more in tune with haliya's (the filipino moon goddess) side (who loved bakunawa so much to the point that it still resonates through her descendants.)

i also gave her fins, barbels and a tail cuz why not?

of course, her natural hair color is still brown/auburn, but it only appears when she's "de-powered" or something happened to take her powers away (it takes away her bakunawa features too)

and i think that's the stuff i can recall at the moment,,, i'll add more stuff once i remember
