#I really want someone to be Mimikyu but I have No idea who

Some PokéSlayer doodles

I’m still not sure about Tengen, Gyomei and Sanemi (he’s not even here but I made a lil post about him being Scizor instead of Zangoose)

So many Pokemon thoughts dcbskxms

I think I’m convinced on Dewott Muichiro though <3

[corvus-ace]

gotta catch em all: persona 5 edition!

full disclosure, this au started as a joke.

so for the last two-three-ish weeks i've been playing with the idea of a pokemon au for the p5 cast, it's been living in my head rent free, and it's been developing with a speed i definitely was not expecting but am not about to question, and there is definitely an impending fic in the making. so i decided i'd try something new where i actually introduce an au on here before i start posting the fic itself to my ao3 and yes this is partially because my co-developer-slash-beta-reader-slash-best-friend has art pending for this. just gonna do brief introductions (as brief as i can manage anyways; proper character introductions are coming soon!) so without further ado, here we go :D

setup: this is obviously set in the world of pokemon; however it is not set in any particular region. this is partly because i wanted to keep my options open when selecting pokemon for the main cast. in addition, the main cast have been aged up to college age, with the pts in the 20-23 range (as of right now akira will be 22 and the rest will be adjusted around that). pokemon journeys begin around 17 or 18 and there's not as much pressure to start a journey as soon as you're old enough, which is why akira is only just starting his. non-thief confidants will be making appearances, though most will be only minor. also, morgana is not a pokemon - he is still a cat, and he can still talk. this will be explained much much later. for now here's the main cast:

akira: the one on a journey! he lives with sojiro, who runs a pokemon cafe in a small town, and futaba, his little sister in all but blood. he likes to run a mixed-type team and calls home often

ryuji: trainer who specializes in electric types! he was supposed to start his journey right at eighteen but wasn't able to due to his leg injury. he grew up with his yamper, which evolved into a boltund a few months into ryuji's recovery; the boltund is his best friend

ann: fierce fire type trainer who loves to travel! she's in a long distance relationship with shiho, who lives in a neighboring city. her starter pokemon was fennekin, which sparked her love for fire types; she's very protective of all her pokemon

yusuke: ice type trainer whose real passion isn't pokemon battles but pokemon art! he has a goal to paint every pokemon, and he's slowly working his way through every one he can find, starting with his beloved frosmoth. but he can't explore the world just yet....

makoto: the youngest steel type gym leader in her city's history! at only twenty, she was able to beat out several older candidates for the position of gym leader through her sheer skill and her coordination with her pokemon. her skarmory is a force to be feared

futaba: a young intern whose mother was a pokemon researcher! she mainly works remotely from her dad's cafe, but she's dead set on someday being able to visit her mother's lab. she's great with pokemon, with her umbreon providing comfort from darkness

sumire: the trainer with an uncertain path! her sister once ran a grass-type gym in their city, but she's been in a coma for months. she's not sure how to move forward. fortunately for her, mimikyu found her at her lowest and could help her choose a future....

i'm really looking forward to posting this au, both in the form of actual fic on ao3 and fleshing out the details here on tumblr! i've got big plans for the story, which is shocking for someone who struggles with plot so often, so i think this'll be a fun experience. can't wait to share more :3

Undertale Characters as Pokémon

Ok, I recently had this dumb idea to reimagine some of the major Undertale characters as Pokémon. But I wanted it to be interesting. I couldn't just Pokémonify the characters. Hell, I couldn't even make them based on physical appearance. Noooo the overachiever part of me that only comes out in this exact level of Dumb Idea TM decided to make it based on the personalities and/or lore.

So, without futher ado, I present to you this thing that I drew instead of studying:

Before you we have:

Player as Mimikyu

People had difficulty recognising it as a Pokémon, many having believed it to simply be a ghost in disguise. It is said to be a cursed being, and those who have seen under their rags have all died painfully. No, I will not separate the player into different pokemon based on routes that's a choice, not a personality.

Undyne as Arbok

Vengeful and territorial. Will not give up chasing its prey no matter how far. Terrifyingly strong, can not be escaped once you are inside its grip. I'm so proud of the pattern I made for this one and will not accept criticism.

Mettaton as Alolan Meowth

It is very spoiled, selfish and arrogant, which makes it popular. Usually preys on weaker Pokémon. Will become very aggressive when someone dirties its coin or hurts its self-esteem. This one was perfect, handed down to me by Mew itself. I had to do it. Look at it and tell me I'm wrong.

Asgore as Kangaskhan

It has zero forgiveness for those who harm its child and will beat them down. There are records of a lost human child being raised by a childless Kangaskhan. Yes I know Kangaskhans are all female. Yes, I know I could have made Toriel the Kangaskhan and Asgore the Drakloak. But I already drew both of them and it was a pain I am not changing it now.

Sans as Abra

It sleeps for 18 hours a day. It senses impending attacks and teleports away to safety before the actual attacks can strike. Do I need to say more?

Papyrus as Wobbuffet

The patient Pokémon, the pacifist that will almost never attack foes without provocation. Prefers to avoid confrontation entirely, sheltering themselves away from most other Pokémon. It constantly hides its tail in darkness, which is considered to be proof that the tail hides some sort of secret.

Flowey/Asriel as Phantump

Ok, this might not be perfect in terms of personality, but the lore was just too good to give up the opportunity. Legends say that Phantump are spirits of children who got lost in the deep forest and perished. Their cries sound like eerie screams. By imitating the voice of a child, it causes people to get hopelessly lost deep in the forest. It’s trying to make friends with them.

Muffet as Frillish

Don't be deceived by its cute appearance, it will poison its prey and drag them into the depths of the ocean to drown and be eaten. I wish I was kidding. Ghost Pokémon are horrifying if you actually think about it for a few minutes.

Toriel as Drakloak

Blah blah blah Kangaskhan blah blah lazy blah blah. You've already heard this before, so I'll skip the rant. Without a Dreepy to place on its head and care for, it gets so uneasy it'll try to substitute any Pokémon it finds for the missing Dreepy. If a Drakloak is defeated in a battle, its Dreepy will wander off without a second thought.

You may have noticed that I didn't include Alphys. Other than wanting a nice, easy number of drawings to sort, I do have a reason for that. You see, Alphys doesn't really... fit a Pokémon that well. She acts more like a professor to me, especially due to her experiments with DT and the mess that it caused so yeah. It's totally not because I'm lazy (ok maybe only partially).

[midnight---express]

1-A Pokémon List, just the updates.

After getting some inspiration I've added more mon's to their teams, so you'll just get the ones that have been updated, or have had a few lore extras added.

Mineta

Gulpin- A squidgy guy, and he’s just neat

Froakie-  Bit of an odd choice but considering it’s Frubbles basically being the same sort of idea as his balls, rather a no brainer, also the thought of a Greninja smacking him with it's tongue to remind him that just because Tsu isn't there doesn't mean he can't get smacked.

Wanted to included a drawing Pokémon like Smeargle or Shroodle to tie into his surprising drawing skills but didn't, big sad.

Midoriya

Skidoo- Yes, I say this one is also perfect for him plus I like the idea that when it evolves it becomes his sort of main partner Pokémon as teacher helping him get to scenes or watching over his students, not a slouch in the battle department but isn’t meant to be the big guns.

I original came up with a bit of the Teams and idea after a comment on Wally's Masters theme noted the similarities between the two, I might have to try drawing or editing him into Wally's jumper. Also the Gogoat as a teacher would give him Ramos vibes, which I quite like.

Aoyama

Staryu- How I didn’t include this the first time round is a crime, like that is a Pokemon he would have distinctly odd with the star motif and yes, just yes

Mimikyu- An inversion of Izuku’s Eevee, an imposter, not belonging, being controlled by a shadowy being, works well from my view. 

Funny thing is that Yuga might have one of the most balanced teams, Normal, Grass, Water/Psychic, Ghost/Fairy, like that is a good team in my options, you know that two of those have Dazzling Gleam.

Bakugou

Mankey- This man is too angry to die and when he does he comes right back, yeah you get the angry Monkey with the hair that looks like yours, you are getting an Annihilape you crazy bastard.

Katsuki gives of the intense vibes of someone who would do a playthrough with one Pokémon he over leveled, but he has to have an HM slave, or he got Really Angry not being able to beat Whitney and got himself a fighting type, which works honestly, plus I mean it's basically him as a Pokémon.

Ashido

Nidoran F- Pretty fun idea from @buffalobleucheez because yes, she should get the poison queen Pokémon, it just thematically works.

Had an expedition with Urakaka to get themselves Moon Stones, came back at around 11PM covered in dust and grime grinning like an idiot, turns out that had gotten into a fight with several Onyx.

Updated Bio, Yaoyorozu

Ralts- Perfect pick right off the bat the elegance and physic power would be a big plus for her, she'd show them the utmost kindness and care, also doesn’t become a Garevoir, no that is a Gallade, Female one at that, don’t screw with the swords.

Todoroki

Ponyta- Galarian as well, I just think it would be fun to reference the Fantasy AU in a way, also let him have a magical girl mon, he earned it!

And a Bonus.

Tetsutetsu

Rockruff- His is the exact same reasoning as Kiri, but his evolves into Day form to contrast.

Beldum- He is also meant to contrast being the other Pseudo legendary from Hoen, it only has Take Down, recklessly charging into combat even when it would hurt him, and due to its evolution, it is technically Four Beldums, in reference to his name being Tetsu repeated four times.

Did want to get a little clever, and have him be a bit of a mirror to Kiri, and Beldum happened to work perfectly like goddam I hadn't even considering the parallels until like 20 minutes ago, no I haven't worked out the rest of 1-B's teams I haven't really got a good gauge on a lot of them yet, but I will in due course, after some reading.

The original post the list is updated from, have a read at tell me some thoughts.

[works-of-magic]

Do you got any advice for someone who trying to be a ghost type trainer?

Thanks for the ask!

"Trying", huh? I think I can help with that.

So, this got really long. I'll give the bullet-point list, and more details after!

1.) Research and consider what kind is best for you! Not every ghost is suitable for every situation.

2.) Ghost types take work. They take time to trust you, they need patience and behavioral work, and they need to be kept entertained.

3.) Meet their needs; make sure you keep them fed AND entertained! A bored ghost is a mischievous ghost. Acclimate them slowly to daylight and physical food.

5.) Ghosts are, well, ghosts. They do ghostly things sometimes and you have to be ready to handle the spook factor.

Bonus: A lot of people are going to judge you, but it's not THEIR choice to make, it's yours!

First off, if you already have a ghost Pokemon, congratulations, you're a ghost trainer! For you, the devil is in the details. Your main concern is how you're going to raise it.

If you're still considering obtaining one: There are two ways to do so, and you don't always choose which one happens to you, but ideally you'll go into it prepared!

The first way is what most aspiring ghost trainers do: You go out and you find a wild ghost to catch.

The second way is kinda... letting them come to you. But depending on your situation, that might not be viable. You have to live somewhere with ghosts, have an environment they find appealing (usually fairly dark and quiet)... or make a good target.

Either way, I can't advocate research enough! We don't know much about how ghost Pokemon work, but we have a good idea of their temperament. Read what it's like from trainers that have them. Consider which species would work best in your situation. Can you handle a high-maintenance species, or would it be better to have a more independent one?

You should definitely consider what species you, specifically, can handle! Keep in mind that a Pokemon born from a human soul will have extra concerns. Something like a Yamask or a Spiritomb could come with a lot of emotional pain you'd have to work through. Make sure you're ready to handle that before bringing one into your life.

If you're going out to catch one: be prepared to work for their obedience. Ghost Pokemon aren't easy to tame from the wild. They're often unruly, they might be too weak to have good control of their powers or be too strong-willed to let you command them, and they need to be taught boundaries early in your relationship or they won't understand why you're so upset.

Listen, I know they're cute, especially something that's friendly like a Mimikyu or a Greavard! But you NEED to be able to tell them "No". Trust me on this. Let them get away with it once and they'll think they can get away with it every time. You want to be consistent with what's allowed and what's not.

To prevent them from acting out intentionally: You need to make sure you can meet their needs! Lots of ghosts are surprisingly social. They should have plenty of time to play and they need enrichment now and again. (A bored ghost is more likely to "haunt" your neighbors than one you're keeping entertained!)

This includes their need for time to trust you. This goes for all Pokemon, but ghosts especially can be standoffish. Let them get used to you!

As far as feeding them: Some species eat more physical food and some feed more on energy. Honestly I've never met a ghost that didn't want their favorite kind of berry, but if you plan on feeding a purely physical diet, make sure if's meant for ghosts and make sure you adjust them slowly! They can get really lethargic and malnourished if you try to switch them over too quickly. It's fine to just feed them Poke-pellets, I promise! You just need to sort of wean them off the energy stuff.

Let them get used to daylight, too, if you plan to acclimate them to a diurnal sleep schedule! Most of them have very sensitive eyes and are naturally nocturnal. Don't expect them to be alert and ready to battle at 2pm the first day you have them. Give them time to adjust!

And bear in mind that ghosts... do some strange things sometimes. They might vanish for a few days. They can interact with the spirit realms way more easily than humans. They might "protect" you by eating your dreams. They might possess the unsuspecting owner to pull pranks or help them access treats they can't get on their own. You might hear them laughing and you can't figure out why, because they're playing with a human's ghost they found. It is exceedingly rare that a trained ghost will hurt someone, but just be prepared for a little weirdness in your life.

And once you have your ghost(s), just... be prepared for other people to judge you for it. But it's your Pokemon, it's your choice to make. Not theirs. You will know better than anyone else what you can train! If your heart is in it and you know what you're getting into, then by all means, go get some ghosts!

[nomstellations]

I've decided to start a new Poke.mon Ultra/ /Moon playthrough. I wanna talk about some Pokèvore involving the region's Pokè.mon (help this is all pred talk-)

Okay, this idea just came to me today but one of the questions the Rot.om Dex asks if you could go into either a Pokè.ball or a Rot.om Dex. And if you say the Dex, it'll say "For realzzz? It'll be a bit of a squeezzze, but want to give it a try?" So imagine Rot.om Dex deciding to shrink it's partner down to size and gobble them safely up. Silly small electric pred

Speaking of small preds, I think Mimi.kyu is a pretty good one. It should be allowed to gobble down anyone who dares ruin/bust it's disguise. Or since it's so lonely, imagine a Mimikyu eating someone it's grown really fond of to keep them allll to itself

And speaking of eating someone for affectionate reasons, I think Bew.ears would be great for this kind of idea. Having someone in your stomach is basically like hugging them, right? Also, I'm biased because Bew.ear is my favorite Pokè.mon

Also 👏Ultra 👏 Beast 👏 preds

Buzz.wole would make for a really cool pred. Imagine being able to see prey from it's blood sac muscle stuff. Buzz.wole would totally eat people to absorb their engery and become stronger

Guzz.lord is a pretty obvious, but very good pred. The lack of vore content for it is surprising. Where's the love for it :(

Xurki.tree would be a pretty cool pred, me thinks. I saw this fanart where Xurki.tree ate someone through it's arms and given how alien the UBs are and how they're from a different dimension, that's fitting

Blacephalon could be a fun pred as well. Very silly. Love the fella. I once read a fic where the hole where it's head comes out was it's mouth. Again, alien from a different dimension

That's all for now. Sorry for the ramble

-Cj

oh i love a good ramble :]

i'm not the biggest fan of smaller sized preds, but ive seen some people play with the idea that mimiiyu are bigger on the inside, which is something i don't mind so terribly! also, bewear evolve from stufful....would that make them plushie preds by definition?

ALSO YOURE SO RIGHT ABOUT THE UBS I AM SHAKING YOUR HAND. my man guzz is criminally underrated despite all the jokes people love to make...maybe its because its so imposing? scary? who knows! xurk is one of my fav UBs tbh....its so weird looking and i like it! i actually have a pokevore request in my inbox for it and blacephalon...i never got around to them because i wasnt sure of how to write them eating while retaining that weird alien nature

[absols-and-accessibility]

hello!! im a new-ish trainer, and i was wondering if you had any recommendations for a service mon i could get? i have chronic pain & fatigue, but i dont need a mobility aid - i just need someone who can get me stuff on the bad days or get stuff done around the house.

if its anything worthy of note, i currently have a mimikyu, gastly, and cutiefly around the house. id prefer mons that could work well with those three, as i dont want to make them uncomfortable and they obviously are too small to do much.

any ideas?

Hmm, off the top of my head, a Kirila would be able to help with tasks, and they get along pretty well with fairy/ghost types. A friend of mine has a Togetic that's really helpful with pain, though they're a pretty rare species

[night-faye]

Lol, I totally hear ya. The "sunshine on the outside, depression on the inside" is one of my favs too. I was telling Liv all about it and how Wukong was similar to my biggest blorbo of all time and I stuck with the show bc I wanted to see more of him after the pilots. And THEN Macky showed up and uh oh.

MK and Mei def have their trainer cards on their wiki, but it doesn't seem like Macky has one, so yep you can give him a Mimikyu.

Yep yep, and you also got dragons inside the lantern Macky and Tang were fighting in iirc. rewatches are always fun :D Doing them to talk with you is how I discovered something crazy in S5 that YET AGAIN references a Macky episode 😭

Being 10 minutes in won't spare you at ALL. This episode is just one hit after another. But hey, at least in S5 you get something cute, the baby monkey collecting gag continues 😉 AND you get DragonFruit smoothies. a lil levity before straight up horrors I mean, Wukong's VA called it MCU levels of sad before it dropped if that tells you anything.

Macky's narration is SO SOMBER and for WHAT.

Five Phases Mountain fight my beloved let's gooooo. Firstly, peach motifs!! You WILL see them again :) bringing a comfort item like Wukong did under the tree earlier <3 once again the emotional nuance is STELLAR. I can physically feel the horrors of having a conversation. "You don't have to be so you about it." HMMM. *shakes you frantically* YES YOU GET HOW DEVASTATING IT IS???? MACKY SOUNDS SO GUILTY THERE SO HEARTBROKEN SO ASHAMED. HEY MK WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT BEST FRIENDS AGAIN- *dragged off stage* but LIKE it's not like he could have done anything, only the Monk could 😔 I wonder if Macky used his shadows to escape? Maybe thought it was too hard to get to Wukong and he wouldn't want the Brotherhood captured too right 🤷‍♀️ since Wukong cares about them sm as his friends. They were cornered, Wukong lost the battle, you save more people by fleeing. "Cause normally you just RUSH to my rescue." I love this fight because it's also utterly nuanced, like you can understand both their frustrations. Thinking. Thinking about how the image of Wukong is so often the undefeatable Monkey King whose so strong...is that what he wants tho. Oh, but it's so hard for him to appear weak to others he wants to be the strongest he just said that BUT BUT BUT- and OOF at Macky's hurt expression here *chefs kiss* so tasty. It's good that he was trying to remove himself from the situation lest something happen but uh, oops. too many comments there Wukong. MACKY SNAPPED. "You're the one who wouldn't quit while we were ahead!" SO MUCH GRIEF IN THAT FAYE SO MUCH GRIEFFF- im going crazy. "Everything I did was for us!" the rough texture to his voice 0.0 "You did it for yourself! You've become like this...obsessive demon!" SHRIEKING I'm so crazy for Macky who just emotionally snaps like the things he says!! in the heat of the moment it all just getting spat out!! WUKONG's FACE HERE IS EVERYTHING HE CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT HE JUST HEARD and the way his expression twists into anger YESS LOVEEE. I know what it's like to be hiss growl trying to hold on while someone else yelling bonks into your brain like that. You think it was hard to hold back during what killed Macky? Like needing to break a pencil except it was his skull haha..... "I told you going against the Jade Emperor was a bad idea..." ONCE AGAIN SO MUCH GRIEF HERE BOTH ME AND MACKY SOUNDS LIKE HE'S GOING TO CRYYY. I love the shakiness in his voice as he steels it to be stronger. And then the peach <3 the symbol and bridge of friendship and acceptance and holding hands <3 shattered, and "I really wanted that peach." WUKONG 😔 they cannot communicate. And Macky's magic ears probably heard that comment about not wanting to see him again.

I'm having a great time anon. Superb. stellar. thank you for the extra pain it's great

[children-of-subcon]

So uh, turns out I messed up the last one on @twipsai‘s request! So! Here’s what they actually meant :D

😈-Villainify a protagonist (for Captor)

😇-Heroify a villain (for Muriel)

While I was coloring this I was wondering why Captor looked so familiar, and then I realized... I accidentally turned her into a Mimikyu (ס_ס;;) Whoops... I guess villain = gamer girl?

Anyways, I have a “few” ideas for this version! It ended up very long, since I covered both the past and present for both of them, so I’ll put them under the cut :)

Everything up to Mu imprisoning Lilly is the same, but this time Mu is convinced by her advisors to execute Lilly sooner, both to nip this whole “plot against the queen” thing in the bud, and so that Lilly isn’t left to rot for months on end. At this point, Mu is not far gone enough to be apathetic towards her sister’s death, and goes into mourning rather than paranoia. She doesn’t start to imprison people willy-nilly. Due to this, her kingdom (while still upset because Lilly was so beloved), is not so much fearful of her as they are sympathetic, because at the end of the day Mu was 14. This also means that the Goofy Mafia goes free, and eventually Mu is informed that Lilly was actually planning a party. For HER. Mu becomes inconsolable, locking herself away in her room.

Lilly, meanwhile, had not had months to fester in grief, and was still somewhat in denial of the fact that her own sister declared her a traitor-- for no reason, in her eyes. When she was informed she would be executed, she was first shocked, and then... outraged. How DARE her SISTER send her to prison, not say a word to her for weeks, and then sentence her to death? How DARE Mu not even BOTHER to hear Lilly’s side of the story? But she was helpless as the guards escorted her to her death. She looked pleadingly into the crowd, begging someone, anyone, to speak out against all this... this NONSENSE. And the people. Did. Nothing.

A few weeks later, Lilly wakes up, eventually realizing she’s dead. Feeling betrayed and abandoned by everyone she loved, Lilly lashes out in rage, destroying most of the kingdom and exuding a suffocating miasma. (Kind of like the thing Blue Diamond from SU can do, but more lethal.) It’s sudden, and there are almost no escapees.

Present-day, Captor roams the forest somewhat aimlessly, with most of her memories fragmented. It’s frighteningly empty and quiet, and even more dead than usual. No ghosts dare to reside within. If she finds any intruders, she’ll attack straight away, because... well, she doesn’t really remember, but it’s what she usually does. She doesn’t try to trap people with her-- instead, she’s called “The Captor” because all those who enter the forest never come out.

Mu, on the other hand, in an attempt to right what she’s done in any way she can, has made the manor into a sort of safe-haven. All of the dwellers, spiders, fire spirits, anything that used to “live” in the forest now resides in that area. She’ll go out regularly to try and rescue any unfortunate souls that have wandered into the woods, such as, say, a crown wearing alien. She might need some help collecting ingredients for her “jams and jellies”, though. Don’t worry, they aren’t made of people or anything, but make sure not to drop them! They can be quite explosive. How else will she keep The Captor at bay?

Mu and Captor still argue, but instead of it being over who rules Subcon, they argue over who DOESN’T. Mu blames herself for the fall of Subcon, and refuses to be put in a position of power again, so she tries to get through to the Lilly she remembers so SHE can take charge. Captor... well, she doesn’t want to be the ruler because she remembers having a negative association with it, but she also remembers this red girl being the queen or something so that means she must be in charge, right?

Sorry this ended up so long! I always find AUs where the good characters are “bad” and vice versa super interesting, so I got a bit carried away with ideas. I’ve even made AUs like that of my own original works ^^” I guess I’ve kind of done that here, huh? I might expand on it further if I feel like... making an evil Prince or something. Or if someone sends another ask with this prompt! Feel free if you want to!

Bye :)

[adobe-outdesign]

Reviews of All Scrapped Spaceword Betas

Exactly what it says in the title. This is also for my reference, as I might redesign some of these later for funsies. 

I’m only including Pokemon that were 100% scrapped (we’re not here to argue what might have become what) and aren’t evos/pre-evos of existing Pokemon. Also, I’m using the English fan-translations for the names because I don’t speak Japanese.

Flambear/Volbear/Dynabear

Our original fire starter, and yeah, I can see why this was scrapped. For starters (heh), it looks more like a rodent that evolves into a lion than anything resembling a bear. And secondly... it doesn’t really have a clear focus, nor a memorable design. It’s just kind of a rodent-bear thing with flames tacked onto it. 

The best Pokes usually have a "catch” to them, and these guys lack that. For example, this got replaced by Cyndaquil, which has the concept of flaming spikes that form out of its back. That’s memorable. This, well, isn’t.

Possible reason for being scrapped: Lack of focus/interesting design

Pokes to fill the void: Teddiursa and Ursaring are probably the closest in terms of being bears. Something about it also reminds me of Growlithe/Arcanine, probably because it’s a fluffy fire thing that evolves into a bigger fluffy fire thing with a mane and black markings.

Cruz/Aqua/Aquaria

This has the same problem as the Flambear line, just less extreme. It’s okay, being a little plesiosaur that evolves into a bigger plesiosaur, but it also lacks an interesting catch to it. The pearls are maybe something, but they’re not really emphasized, just kind of tacked on. Plus Dragonair kind of has the crystal neck ornaments on lock. And the horn. And the underbelly. And the water theme...

Whoops.

I definitely wouldn’t be opposed to a plesiosaur water starter in the future, but it would probably have to be completely redesigned.

Possible reason for being scrapped: Lack of focus/interesting design; too similar to Dragonair

Pokes to fill the void: Dragonair, as mentioned above. If you want a plesiosaur, Lapras is always a thing.

Putting the rest under the cut for length.

Sunmola1/Anchorage/Grotess

This is one of the most chaotic beta evolutions out there, aside from beta Girafarig. I can see the resemblance between Sunmola1 and Anchorage to some extent--counter-shaded blue fish with two fins and a short body--but the anchor part of the evolution comes out of nowhere. Then it sporadically turns into a gulper eel, which has nothing to do with the previous two evolutions at all.

I’ve heard some people suggest that Sunmola1 basically gets dragged into the depths and turns into a deep-sea creature due to its anchor, which is a fantastic idea. However, if that’s what they were going for here it’s not really clear, and I think it could be executed much better.

Individually, Sumola1 is a little plain. Not terrible, but I think they could do something more interesting with the little head thing. Anchorage is memorable, but there’s something very un-Pokemonish about it. I think it’s just the fact that it’s basically cut in half--I keep expecting the backsprite to show its organs or something. Grotess is also a bit too plain.

It’s also worth noting that at some point, this was the evolutionary line, which is more consistent but much less interesting (save for the middle evo’s eyes, which are pretty great).

Possible reason for being scrapped: Lack of evolutionary consistency; some designs plain or not very fitting for Pokemon

Pokes to fill the void: Alomomola is a sunfish Pokemon. Sharpedo is a shark crossed with an object, and Grotess almost certainly became Huntail and Gorebyss.

Rinring/Bellboyant

These two... are pretty good. They have a simple catch--black cats with bells--and the designs are nicely executed and memorable.

If I had one complaint, it’s that they maybe seems a tad unfocused in the backend of things. They’re dark types, but have a bunch of “cutesy” moves, and it’s not clear why’d they be dark apart from being black cats. They seem to have a magical girl vibe (Bellboyant looks a bit like Luna from Sailor Moon, which is probably not a coincidence), which also has nothing to do with the bells or the dark theme. I do think that the designs themselves are fine though, and that if you just focused on the sound concept a hair more you’d have a pretty great Pokemon.

Possible reason for being scrapped: Not entirely sure, these definitely would’ve been popular. Might’ve just been a balancing thing, or it lost the dev popularity contest. 

Pokes to fill the void: Skitty kind of has the same vibe as Rinring. They also remind me a bit of the Meowth line, being cat Pokemon with metal attached to them. The Purrloin line takes over the “dark-type cat” aspect.

Bomseel

I’m torn on this one. On the one hand, it’s a very plain looking Pokemon. The idea of it balancing a fireball/bomb on its nose instead of a ball is clever and memorable enough... except that it’s dependent on it being on that pose. It can’t balance that 24/7, and once it stops all you’re left with is a plain sea lion with dark points.

However, it’s fire/water. The only fire/water we have right now is a legendary, so it would be sweet to have one that’s just a regular poke. So it’s not that the concept itself is bad, using a water-based animal and adding a fire type; it’s just more that the execution is lackluster. Give this guy a hook not related to the fireball and make the seal itself more interesting and I think you’d have something here.

Possible reason for being scrapped: Lack of interesting design

Pokes to fill the void: Volcanion is our only fire/water Pokemon for now. In terms of seals/sea lions with a circus theme, Popplio is a decent enough match.

Tigrette/Electiger

Someone at Gamefreak hates tigerballs, because this line was planned for Gen 1, scrapped, then planned for Gen 2 and scrapped again. Which is strange, because while it’s not the best design it’s not bad either. It’s very very cute, and could definitely find an audience.

However, I’m not really sure what the premise is here. If it’s based on tiger clay bells, then it doesn’t really play into the bell theme much at all. And if it’s not... why is it so round? It’s not that the roundness is bad, but it would usually form the hook for this Pokemon, like it collects static electricity in its fur that makes it puff out or something. Maybe some dex descriptions would’ve made this clearer, who knows.

Also, Electiger is literally the exact same design as Tigrette, just bigger. It would either need a completely new final evolution or would need to show up as a single evo. 

While that sounds harsh, I do really like this design. Fix the evo, figure out/build on the hook of it being round or bell like, and maybe refine the markings a touch and it would be pretty perfect.

Possible reason for being scrapped: Not sure. Might’ve been too similar to Pikachu (both being yellow round electric type Pokemon with zig-zag tails, and og fat Pikachu was also very round). The need to rework the evolution also might’ve turned GameFreak off of it.

Pokes to fill the void: Spheal and Rowlet are both pleasantly round. Pikachu is cute and electric themed in a similar way. In terms of tigers, Raikou is also electric-type. The exact way the stripes are done here is also very similar to Litten.

Kurstraw/Pangshi

GameFreak. GameFreak, you are telling me that we almost had a voodoo-doll Pokemon based off of Ushi-no-Toki-Mairi that evolves into a fucking jiangshi panda?? You are killing me here.

A few interesting things to note here:

Kurstraw evolves at level 1. How? Why? No idea. It could just be a placeholder, but...

The fact that Kurstraw was set to have Curse as its signature move (then called “nail”) and that it only learned this move at level 100 makes it evolving at level 1 seem intentional.

To make things more confusing, it almost seems like (and this is speculation on my part) GameFreak’s intention was to encourage players to not evolve this thing. Stats are comparable, Kurstraw only gets its signature move if you level it up to where it can’t evolve, and Kurstraw has the better moveset (getting frigging destiny bond at lv. 16, while Pangshi gets... splash (which. makes more sense when you consider it’s called “hop” in Japan but it’s still useless). If that was what they were aiming for, then that’s a really unique mechanic that would really make this poke stand out.

Design wise, Kurstraw is... well, it’s a doll with a nail rammed through it. Nothing wrong with that, but it’s not very Pokemon-ish. Meanwhile, Pangshi is maybe a little too much like a Jianshi rather than being reminiscent of one, right down to the little hat. The pose, fangs, and panda colors (which resemble Jiangshi mandarin robes) are more than enough to get the hook across.

What I really love about these two are the expressions. They are just like, so dissonantly happy. Kurstraw is literally like

and Pangshi has the dead-eyed thousand-yard stare of Espurr, except unlike Espurr it looks completely and utter deranged. It looks like if this Pokemon ended up in Mystery Dungeon, it would respond to every question with “my favorite color is blood”. Amazing.

Possible reason for being scrapped: I think these two might’ve been scrapped just because they were too scary. I mean, it’s a voodoo doll impaled on a giant nail that evolves into a literal actual corpse. The implied violence was probably just a bit much for GameFreak.

The reason I think this is, beside the fact that they have fairly solid designs, good hooks, and all of their stats and moves in place, most beta Pokemon have had their premises revisited at some point. But we’ve really never gotten a voodoo doll Pokemon since this, and we definitely haven’t gotten any jiangshi Pokemon either, which suggests the problem lied in the very concept rather than the execution.

Pokes to fill the void: People say that Kurstraw was reworked into Banette, but if anyone Pokemon resembles it to be, it would actually be Mimikyu. They both have cloth bodies with drawn-on smiley faces that resemble something cuter than them and they both want to curse you for existing.

For Pangshi... well, there’s Pancham if you’re looking for tiny pandas. If you’re after a jiangshi though, you’re out of luck.

Wolfman/Warwolf

This Pokemon has a great hook. I mean, a Pokemon that wears a pelt that transforms it into a werewolf? Hell yeah. Not to mention it might be a reference to an obscure Nordic tale about people donning wolf pelts to turn into wolves for ten days.

Design wise, it... well, Wolfman looks almost exactly like Venonat. I’m not the only one who sees this, right?

That aside, I think the idea could be played up a little more. Wolfman is fine, save for its Venonat-ishness, but Warwolf doesn’t do much for me, basically just being a larger version with claws and fangs. If the idea is that it turns into a werewolf by wearing the pelt, what if its evolution looked somewhat like a wolf? Or better yet, the actually body of the thing changes to fill the wolf skin more, so it looks like its a part of it? That would really elevate this Pokemon to a new level.

Possible reason for being scrapped: I’d guess that it’s the same problem as Kurstraw and Pangshi--too scary. I mean, that is a dead pelt of some kind, which means that it killed and skinned some kind of Pokemon, and that’s not getting into questions of what Pokemon they got that from.

It’s also worth noting that when we did finally get a werewolf Pokemon via Lycanroc, it was minus the pelt concept.

Pokes to fill the void: Lycanroc as our werewolf Pokemon. In terms of design, Venonat is very similar as noted above. And something about it really reminds me of Snorunt, being little critters with glowing eyes that wear a cloak of some kind and live in the cold (this line was ice-type).

[jellied0ctopus]

i've had nothing but hypmic in my head recently so have hypnosis mic characters & their trusted pokemon partners 🤭 full post under the cut

JAKURAI: AUDINO. but like, specifically shiny jakurai-purple audino. it's a healer, but can deal surprising psychic damage. would be a solid partner for jakurai to lean on.

HIFUMI: ROSELIA. is anyone surprised? with his rose imagery & grace & beauty hifumi is clearly a grass trainer. petal dance, charm, roses. plus all the ladies at his host club think roselia is sooo pretty & i like to think roselia helps him out with the house chores like cooking and cleaning

DOPPO: RAICHU. i feel in my heart doppo has an explosive electric type. perhaps hifumi helped pick a partner for him as evident in alolan's raichu's extreme cuteness. can be a little energetic for him at times, but a reliable partner who helps him recharge as needed.

ICHIRO: ARCANINE. someone ordinary and friendly yet intimidating and powerful as need dictates. i believe they met when it was a growlithe & they grew together as partners- perhaps it evolved when ichiro needed it most, when tdd broke up and he strengthened his resolve. a loyal and strong choice.

JIRO: PANCHAM. jiro is an ordinary boy with lots of potential, but ultimately he wants to follow in ichiro'sw footsteps with a similar pokemon. pancham is an average fighting type pokemon. they're equally joyful, quick to fight, & a little absent-minded. like ichiro's pokemon pancham will eventually evolve into a strong, loyal, and big partner as pangoro.

SABURO: EEVEE. saburo's young, the youngest cast member and still a child. he still has a long way to go as the last of the brothers to get a pokemon. a young but capable partner would suit him, able to grow as saburo does. eevee won't grow as big as his older brothers' pokemon, but will evolve into something just as fierce + more mischevious. perhaps a jolteon or umbreon? it would be just as spunky as saburo too.

SAMATOKI + GRANBULL. nemu suggested a snubbull when they were younger half-jokingly because she thought it was cute & it reminded her of him in a way. he caved; that loyal partner has evolved. unique color, which doesn't really go with his scheme at all, but just as short in temper & strong in fist as samatoki. honestly i wouldn't put it past him to dye its fur to fit his aesthetic

JYUTO: HOUNDOOM. it's a cop pokemon. i don't really have anything else to say about this

RIO: SCIZOR. rio is an ex-military outdoorsman, so i felt a steel bug type would fit him well. scizor helps out with the camp & probably performs well in hand to hand combat training. i bet this pokemon also knows how to shoot a g*n. it keeps rio company in the forest.

RAMUDA: SYLVEON. he's difficult because of his complex nature but i ended up sticking with my og choice bc it fits his brand so well- cute fashion designer singing about candy & ladies. don't think however due to appearances that this duo can't fight, they can absolutely obliterate a bitch. sylveon can feel its trainers emotions through the ribbons, so probably helps calm ramuda down from his rages. ramuda gets attached to it even though he knows it's a bad idea...

GENTARO: MIMIKYU. his mc name is phantom- clearly a ghost pokemon fits him well. additionally, gentaro is a mystery wrapped in lies... the mischievous costumed pokemon suits him. it keeps him company as he writes, partakes in his teasing, and lashes out when gentaro does. possibly the only one on the planet who gentaro confides in 100% but even then gentaro probably keeps some stuff to himself.

DICE: ZOROARK. somewhat uncommon, indicative of dice's mystery past...? evolved from a zorua, his closest partner. still mischievous & will occasionally pull pranks; backs dice up in a pinch. protective. you KNOW dice gave it a matching hair chain.

KUKO: LATIAS? briefly ignoring legendary status. it's a dragon type which is his brand, even if it's not the same type as his jacket / speakers. i admit i don't know much about buddhist monks but i thought a psychic type could be a good match. also latias is red lol, though its pretty face doesn't match kuko's filthy mouth...

JYUSHI: UMBREON / SPOINK ?? with him i'm really torn. i can't decide between superficial or significant. visually, umbreon is literally this guy's exact aesthetic- perhaps chosen for the vibe after he reinvents himself. story-wise, i feel i have to stick to the pig theme. ofc, spoink was a gift from his grandmother & he loves her dearly.

HITOYA: MIGHTYENA. a respectable pokemon for a successful lawyer. fierce when needed, but an mature pokemon- they're old friends. also fits the half white / half black heaven & hell aesthetic he has going on. this mightyena has and will again bite someone in the name of justice

SASARA: MR MIME. i'm sorry about this as i'm not creative. comedian character & my first thought is the scary mime. in my defense, imagine them in a comedy duo. i think he could have some kind of lucky cat pokemon instead but i'm not sure who could fit that description.

ROSHO: STARMIE. first of all, it's right next to mr mime in the pokedex (lol). but also it's kind of his color scheme and matches his seeing-the-world-differently energy ?? i originally thought noctowl for him because he's a teacher who wears glasses and his mc name is wisdom, but reconsidered it as too on the nose & not really his exact vibe. i'm not sure if starmie is better but it's 3am

REI: PERSIAN. this sleazy rich person pokemon. team rocket boss has the same one for a reason. rei is also totally the guy to have a legendary pokemon in his back pocket, but he can't exactly reveal that stuff in public as he's more of a behind-the-scenes string puller. if hypmic was in the pokemon universe then he was probably the one to genetically engineer mewtwo tbh

that's all thanks for reading

[dedbunnie21]

Alrighty

Pokemon teams for the ✨Afton family ✨

Y?? Cuz I have nothing better to do than wasting away

First one up is Evan Afton/crying child/my actual preference is to call him Elliot. Why?? cuz it's cute

1.) Mimikyu

Mimikyu would be in Elliot's team cuz of him feeling bad for it. He knows what it's like to be lonely and have no one to talk to, so he made sure he doesn't have to be alone

Overall gist is he really wants to make a friend.

2.)Drifloon

It's a really cute idea,will it be tempting for Elliot to grab Drifloon?? Yes, very much so.

Will anyone bother??

Maybe

Ironic???

Absolutely

3.) Gengar

I love the idea of Elliot owning a very mischievous ghost that in one way or another will protect him from his brother.Like a cuddly ghost friend he hugs at night for comfort

4.) Banette

Another dangerous ghost type around a child??? Yes absolutely. Why?? It's the crying child he needs a plush pal with a murderous need to kill

5.)Yamsk

They're a lil cry baby ghost with a cry baby Child

It's cute, adorable and I love it

6.) Hisuian zorua/zoruark

How will he obtain it?? No idea

But it'll help a lot to connect with someone who's just as shy as him

Only to evolve into a complete badass of a Pokemon

Will i make more?? Maybe 🤔 but I thought I'd get the idea off my chest

If u got any ideas for the Afton family pokemon teams don't be afraid to let me know

[akudom]

the brothers in the pokemon universe

sooo i’m back again on my bullshit. i had a random idea of what pokemon would they like and it spiralled into this...

what kind of pokemon would they raise? do they specialise in a type? what are their goals?

tw: none!

lucifer 🦚

this man screams power and would like the challenge from raising dragon types.

his ace would be a hydreigon which of course he would name cerbeus. hydreigon only listens to lucifer and helps lucifer with keeping his brothers in line. just the sight of him is enough to make the brothers shit themselves.

his other pokemon would include dragonite, garchomp, haxorus, appletun and salamence.

beel keeps trying to eat his appletun because it looks so tasty. appletun thus avoids beel like the plague.

wants to be the best so you better believe he will BE the best. is a feared opponent who shows no mercy.

i don’t know if he’s be shooting for becoming champion. just wants to be strong in his own right.

mammon 💳

oh god mammon. if you thought satan liked cats then you got another thing coming.

he has an army of meowths. all types, alolan, galarian, regular, he has SO many. if he sees a wild meowth it’s automatically added to the squad.

his shiny galarian meowth is nicknamed goldie!

he would also have a honchkrow just to shake it up a bit.

mammon isn’t the best battler so he isn’t going for badges or anything.

his brothers live in fear of his meowth squad, he has them trained to scan the house for anything valuable to sell. satan is the only brother who can somewhat deal with them and that’s only because he finds them cute (when they aren’t taking his books)

just wants to make money and vibe with the squad.

leviathan 🎮

water type trainer! he’s literally named after a sea monster don’t fight me.

his magikarp henry was made fun of by mammon a bunch. his pride when he evolved into a glorious gyarados and proceeded to send mammon flying team rocket style is unreached.

nobody fucks with henry.

other pokemon on his team are swampert, azumarill, pyukumuku, wooper and toxapex. however he has literally every water type out there, he switches out his team depending on who he’s up against.

the smaller guys like to sleep in his hoodie and he finds it the most precious thing in the world.

he may hate going outside to fight but once hes actually battling he’s terrifying. the best battler out of the bros.

satan 📚

now you’d think he’d have all the cat types but here me out.

eevee breeder satan.

loves all the eeveelutions, can’t pick a favourite they are all so cute.

nicknames them after characters from books.

if anyone dares to call his pokemon weak or useless he turns into the biggest cat eevee mum and will make them eat their words. personally. no one insults his babies.

he’s ok at battling but much prefers researching. reading about all the legends out there while sat in front of a fire with all the eevees surrounding him is his joy in life.

i can see him being a professor or at least in some sort of academic role as well.

asmodeus 💄

pokemon contests are his jam.

wants to show off the beauty of all his pokemon as well as himself.

a favourite? asmo doesn’t do favourites. all his pokemon are amazing and you will understand that.

has a fondness for fairy types for their elegance but ultimately has no type preference. just likes beautiful pokemon.

his team would include milotic, beautify, galarian rapidash, hatterne and gardevoir.

he also has a florges in every colour.

pampers his pokemon. they are all spoiled little babies and he knows it.

aims to become the best coordinator you’ve ever seen.

beelzebub 🍔

this good boy likes bug types.

he hates how much bug types are underestimated and thought of as the weakest. why does that matter?

bug types seem to flock to beel it’s so wholesome. it’s like they know if they stay with beel they’ll get all the love and affection they could ever want.

he doesn’t have a team, he has a swarm. the ones he has the strongest bond with are snom, caterpie, surskit, volcarona, joltik and golisopod.

beel and his snom is literally like patrick star and rocky.

someone insults his little caterpie? first of all how dare you? it’s like fucking with a mama bears child you don’t wanna do that.

his only non bug type is morpeko. the lil guy is nicknamed beel jr by his brothers since it has a bigger appetite then beel.

who would win? 6 demons guarding a fridge or 1 electro boi.

doesn’t really have any goals. unless becoming the biggest bug type protector you’ve ever seen is a goal.

belphegor 💤

sleepy man likes ghost types. likes how spooky they are. however he doesn’t specialise in them.

his team includes snorlax, komala, gengar, banette, mimikyu and mismagius.

has pulled so many good pranks with the help of his team. lucifer doesn’t just have mammon’s meowth squad to worry about, here’s a moment of silence for his sanity.

he enjoys taking naps with snorlax and komala. snorlax reminds him a little of beel with how it’s like a black hole when it comes to food.

snorlax is so fluffy and soft it makes the perfect cushion. snorlax drives his brothers insane with how it’ll just plonk down in the middle of a doorway to sleep since it’s impossible to move.

way too lazy to become a trainer. too much effort.

[akirameta84]

Warning: This is VERY LONG. i got carried away.

"hey don't you have a wip fic for another au?" yeah shush i have a new idea that's not as fleshed out (after writing that turned out to be a lie) as the chunibyo one but i had to share it.

its in every fandom, but Saiki K Pokemon Au time. it's always cliche but who cares its amazing.

Kaido is the mc. for sure. he chooses a froakie because the professor (its kusuke, he's totally it) said it was a dark and mysterious as him. at first he's disappointed by the frog but once it evolves he starts loving it. him and greninja wear matching outfits. he tied red wrist wraps on its arms and he wears a pink scarf.

nendo is his rival lmao. he met him when kaido left with his first pokemon and challenged him to a battle, immediatly. he said loser has to buy the other persons ramen. "but i dont even know you??" "oh. well lets be friends, runt!" "you just asked to fight me???" nendo uses an eevee because his mom gave it to him when he was young. kaido wins because nendo didnt use a single attacking move. he just used sand attack and growl. the battle lasted 10 minutes because kaido kept missing.

now with his newly self proclaimed rival, after going to eat ramen, kaido sets out on his journey. i like to imagine a region with just every pokemon cause its cool that way. kaido mainly looks for fighting type pokemon, and a few dark types, and it takes him a bit to realize that this is probably a bad strategy and that he isnt finding anything, as cool as they are. he catches a shroomish, not knowing it became a type he wanted, because he was impressed with it's "battle capabilities" because it survived an attack that had fainted others. he names it doomslayer cause he's such an edgelord.

somewhere along the way nendo finds him and says that he's going to challenge a gym, and that kaido should join him. kaido agrees because "oh yeah, thats why im on this journey" and they go to the first gym.

The first gym is ghost type, run by toritsuka. why is he first? cause he's prolly not very good at battling and he knows it. the gym itself would be very foggy, and kaido has to traverse it to get to toritsuka. along the way toritsuka has spirits tell him where kaido is, and he'll release a pokemon near there for him to battle, and this happens 2 times. Torisuka himself uses 2 pokemon, a Litwick and a Galarian Yanmask. both are female, obviously. kaido absolutely demolishes these two pokemon, with his water and grass type, seeing as they're part fire and ground. first badge complete.

surpsingly, nendo also beats this gym, mainly because eevee can use bite. guess he figured out how to use attacking moves lmao. also yes ik bite is learned at 25, and rn they're at like lv 12 but shh. he found a tm or smt. it also helps thst toritsuka could barely hit nendos eevee due to the ghost and normal type thing.

nendo tries to travel with kaido, but kaido usually manages to worm his way away from him. he usually gets away whenever nendo challenges someone else and they have to tell him that he can't catch someone else's pokemon.

second gym is chiyo's gym. she uses grass types, and her gym is covered in flowers, trees, and it looks like a forest. the puzzle itself is rather simple. the floor is covered in large flowers, and you have to step on the correct ones or get sent back to the start. i like to imagine a giant vine yeeting kaido. chiyo also forgot to write clues over which ones are correct and ends up helping kaido, and winds being endeared by his determination. chiyo uses a Fomantis and a Petilil, because she thinks they're cute. kaido actually struggles quite a bit because he brings a water type and a grsss type. he wins in the end though, because chiyo ends up lovestruck and forgets to attack. she daydreams about inviting him to run the gym with her because he's so talented in her eyes, but he leaves before she can ask, grass badge in hand.

after chiyo's gym, kaido's froakie evolves into Frogadier, and he cries. in-between gyms again, kaido catches a rockruff because it was cute and it whined when he tried to walk away after battle. again, kaido catching types he likes without even knowing, provided his rockruff evolves at nightime. he names it Decimator. at this point i place kaido's levels at 19-21 ish, and close to rockruff and shroomish evolving.

next gym is hairo's and surprise surprise, it's a fire type gym. his gym his very, very intense. he has actual jets of fire lining his gym. there's no puzzle because he believes in just battling for victory or whatever, kaido didn't catch it behind the roar of the fire jets. kaido just walks along a pathway and gets challenged to battle by 3 randoms. i like to imagine one of them is nendo, and its never discussed. he has a fire type and everything, and its just not brought up. he's back to his single eevee after this too. kaido also wins with relative ease, considering he has a water type and rock type, although he makes the mistake of sending shroomish out at some point, but makes a clutch switch after it survives a flamethrower. fire badge obtained.

right after this, his shroomish evolves into breloom and he cries again. he gets very happy when his pokemon evolve. and also, after a few random encounters, his rockruff also evolves. its day form because kaido is a clueless baby. he still loves it all the same. at some point nendo challenges kaido with a single pokemon again, but this time it's a leafeon. kaido asks how he knew to evolve it, and he just says he battled next to some funny looking rock and it changed. of course. it actually manages to oko Frogadier because kaido wasnt expecting anything other than an eevee, but his breloom deals with it easily, because nendo kept using not very effective grass moves because it worked once. how does he have 3 badges again? nobody knows. level 25-27 now.

next gym is saiko's, and he uses normal types because all the other types were "too needy for someone like him." he's got 2 Persians and a Toucannon. he tried to use 3 persians but he was told that he needed something else just in case someone brought a fighting type by his dad. so he grabbed the first wild bird he found and evolved it. saiko doesnt have a puzzle, and instead just has an elevator that you can pay 5000 Pokedollars to use, otherwise you have to take the stairs like a pleb. Kaido takes the stairs because he's keeping his money dammit. its only 3 stories until saiko's floor, so it's really not much. Kaido sweeps easily with breloom until toucannon comes out. breloom gets slaughtered by a flying type move, and he sends out lycanroc to finish it. normal badge complete.

when he next sees nendo, he has a meowth with his leafeon. kaido asks where he got it, and nendo says he found it near the rich looking gym. kaido concludes that nendo accidently stole a pokemon and they go to return it. saiko says that the plebs can have it as a reward for defeating him, and dismisses them. levels 30-33.

5th gym! mera runs this one, and there isn't a type. she has an Alcremie, Appletun, Cherubi, and a Vannilish. what can i say, girl loves her food. kaido is genuinely concerned that she is gonna eat her pokemon though. the challenge is cooking. kaido has to cook curry, and if its bad, he fights a trainer, up to 3 times. if its good he gives it to mera and moves on the next curry. the actual battle goes okay, but its fairly difficult due to not having a single type, and being unpredictable. obviously he wins in the end, and the badge is a bowl of curry.

frogadier evolves into greninja finally, and they have the matching outfits going on. nendo laughs at it. somewhere nendo also got an applin. kaido is fairly sure he took this one from mera as well, but he decides to let it go, and tell nendo how he can evolve it. he doesn't think nendo understood, but he tried. kaido also realizes he only has 3 pokemon, and decides to find two more. he finds a braixen, which he evolves into delphox. her name is Lucifer's Eternal Flames. Lucy for short. he also catches a noibat. the noibat was caught because he got lost in a cave, and the noibat was leading him out, so he decided he couldn't just leave it there. he names it the Jet Bat Wings. yes im doing that and yes its hilarious. levels 37-39.

gym 6. fighting type, and its kuboyasu. he tried to leave behind his violent days behind him, and become a poison type gym, but eventually gave in and did fighting instead. after he had already dyed his hair purple for the colorscheme. he kept the fighting gym purple because he already commited dammit. 4 pokemon, and hes got Toxicroak (yes ik the irony), Lucario, Grapploct, and Pangoro. greninja faints quickly, and so does lycanroc, but after some paralysis tricks with breloom and delphox sweeping the rest, pangoro comes in and ko's delphox. noibat pulls through in the end, with flying type moves. fighting badge earned.

next battle with nendo, and it turns out he actually evolved applin, and now he's got a flapple. kaido is midly impressed. kaido catches his 6th and final pokemon, an absol. he was overjoyed when he finally got another dark type. he names it Fluffy. yes, the dark type doesnt get an edgy name. levels 44-46, there was a longer gap in between the 6th and 7th gyms. oh also, you may be wondering about an evil team in this au. and my answer is....¯\_(ツ)_/¯

gym 7. Fairy type. Teruhashi. you knew she'd be coming eventually. and yes i saved the characters people prolly wanna know about until last haha. and because i think they fit the more difficult gyms. girl's got 5 pokemon, Mimikyu (i think it fits her fake perfect girl personality), Slyveon, Gardevoir, Florges, and Magearna. how does she have a legendary? prolly cause she's perfect and just asked for it, and someone actually found one. No puzzle here, but having to find his way through the mobs of teruhashi fans is prolly hard enough. Kaido actually has to try this gym several times due to him lacking anything good againist fairies. he gets it eventually though, and teruhashi has to reassure her fans that it's okay that she lost before they murder kaido. fairy badge down.

at this point kaido has no clue how nendo keeps getting gym badges. he has 3 pokemon, and one isn't even evolved. especially considering how easily Kaido himself can beat him. kaido I shrug it off as the plothole it usually is in pokemon games. levels 47-50. Noibat evolves into Noivern, and kaido has himself a pretty strong team. Greninja, Delphox, Absol, Lycanroc, Noivern, Breloom. although he has just been choosing based on personal preference, it turnes out nicely. and yes I'm padding this out cause y'all know what gym is next.

Gym number 8. The psychic type gym, run by Saiki and Aiura. It doesn't get more cliche than this. The challenge in this one is a maze. There's no extra trainers here, instead Kaido fights Aiura everytime he encounters her. She only uses 1 Pokemon in these battles because they happen a lot. Kaido wonders how she keeps finding him, let alone getting through the maze so easily when there's walls everywhere. He brushes it off as her just knowing the layout. battle itself happens, and it's a double battle. they each have 3 pokemon. Saiki has a ditto, espeon, and an alolan raichu (because he thought it was cute) Aiura mainly runs the support side of the team, and she's got a female meowstic, alakazam, and reuniclus, and wishes she had a cuter team, but she makes it work. This is prolly Kaido's second hardest gym. not harder than teruhashi's because he had no advantages, unlike this one where he's got several dark types. the battle is hard because they know exactly what kaido is gonna do. the minute he sends out his breloom to get a cheap paralysis, out comes ditto. the breloom ditto nearly wipes out both dark types, but noivern takes care of it, only to meet a sad demise at the hands of raichu, despite the dragon advantage. he's able to win on his second try, after he refused to send out breloom due to the fact that they just seem to know his next move. it creeped him out. Psychic badge done.

nendo tries to take saiki out for ramen with him and kaido after his gym fight, declaring him his best buddy, and it's not explained why nendo decided this. nendo eventually wins the argument and they get ramen. kaido notices saiki looks disturbed everytime he looks at nendo, but brushes it off as "yeah he disturbs me too." they part ways and onto victory road because im still mourning how there wasn't one in sword and shield. after victory road, kaido is nearing level 60 on everyone.

elite four? eheh i don't know who'd make it up. prolly 4 previous gym leaders with fully evolved teams and more pokemon. not tlo worries about them tho.

Kaido bests the elite four, and marches on to the champion.

Champion Akechi. Full team of 6 Pokemon, and he's a formidable opponent. He's able to easily predict what moves are going to be used next, and always has type advantage. Although, unlike before, while difficult to do, it is possible to do something unpredictable to trip him up, which is the only way Kaido is able to win. His team consists of Serperior, Glaceon, Gyrados, Ninetales, Togekiss (it's just there to be annoying, it can barely attack, and akechi did this to be a nuisance so he can't be clean sweeped), and Mew. Again, I love unexplained lengendaries on teams okay. To Kaido, it seems like with enough switching, he could easily defeat Akechi, but Akechi is very good at predicting. So againist Akechi, it's like the team as been catered specifically to beat Kaido. But, knowing him, it likely was. It takes him ages to beat Akechi. Like literal ages. The only saving grace is Akechi can get tripped up if Kaido is unpredictable enough. It's likely a mixture of that and para hscks that lets him win, and Kaido is champion. Nendo did try to challenge him (somehow beating the elite four) but was beaten. I love how the rivals always beat everything but then get horribly beaten by you.

Holy shit this is longer than i thought it would be. I have been writing this for literal hours. Hope you enjoyed. This is what my brain had inspiration for today apparently, instesd of the fic im working on.

Hadn't seen too much Pokemon stuff for saiki k yet, so tada. and yes, i came up with most of this while writing. the only idea i had before i started writing was the saiki and aiura gym

Pokemon AU: The Seven Brothers as Pokemon trainers

A few years ago I made a similar set of headcanon’s for the MysMe characters and what kind of team they’d had if they were pokemon trainer and to this day it’s one of my favorite things I’ve written so I decided to do something similar for the Obey Me! characters.

(Since Tumblr hates links I’ll later reblog this with the source I used for the trainer ID’s but the Deviantart user is on each picture anyways)

Elite four member Lucifer wants to fight…

-The last and most powerful member of the Elite four, if you want to challenge Diavolo you have to very literally go through him and he has a team to be feared.

-Hydreigon and Houndoom are loosely based on Cerberus so I think they fit him very well, also they are known to be very aggressive when defied, just like Lucifer.

-Oricorio was a gift from Diavolo, he was really exicited about the idea of having matching pokemon with Lucifer and Barbatos and he chose the sensu form because it’s elegancy reminded him of Lucifer.

-Speaking of elegancy Persian and Tsareena are elegant royalty-like pokemon that give a prideful aura which fits Lucifer pretty well.

-Salamence it’s a little more difficult to explain. For this headcanon I asked friends that are pokemon fans but know nothing about otomes which pokemon reminded them of the deathly sins and the answer for pride was Salamence… at first I didn’t see it but the earlier stages of Salamence’s only wish it’s flying so on their final stage when it finally can fly there are proud of their wings. Also I can see Lucifer Salamence as reminder of his grief, a pokemon who left the ground and went into the sky for the angel that fell from there.

Elite four member Mammon wants to fight…

-he thinks being an Elite Four member is too much work but is also very proud of being one of the top trainers of the Devildom... just a little salty about being the first member thought; he knows he cannot beat Lucifer or Barbatos but surely he can beat Simeon, can’t he? (no, he can’t)

-His ace, Crobat is based a lot on how he is defined as a character. Zubat is a pokemon that’s usually looked down on and is often associated with evil teams but how does it evolves to Crobat and becomes it’s most powerful self? Throught friendship…and idk that reminds me a lot of Mammon.

-Sableye and Meowth are based on his sin. Sableye is known for tealing jewel (a very good companion for the avatar of greed) and Meowth is supposed to attract money.

-We all know this guy is a gambler and nobody can beat him at gambling, well, what’s the biggest prize you can get on pokemon casino on the older games? Yes, Porygon.

-Slowbro ended up on his team somewhat by accident, Mammon heard slowpoke tails were considered a delicatessen and not only that they grew back afterwards so he saw having one as a good investment….the problem was that just after he caught his slowpoke a Shellder attacked them and bit Slowpoke’s tail making it evolve into Slowbro.

-Scrafty has a similar aesthetic and it’s quick to get into fights, I figured out it would go well with Mammon.

Gym Leader Leviathan wants to fight…

-The water type gym leader, he is famous for the complex riddles every challenger must answer before even getting the chance to fight him.

-Has an old rivalry with Mammon and low key believes he should be on the elite four on his place

- As you might have guessed Seviper and Goldeen are inspired on Henry 1.0 and 2.0; he loves all his team but these two are the ones he had had for the longest and his favorites.

-Toxapex is basically Levi in pokemon form, a water/poison pokemon that when threatened hides on their shell and sends poison around, much like how Levi hides from the world on his room and acts all tsundere.

-For Levi raising one of the weakest pokemon into Gyarados was like farming on one of his MMORPGs and as he would do on one of those he completely outdid himself to the point it became his most powerful pokemon and the one every trainer fears whenever they enter his gym.

- Both Skrelp and Tentacruel are poison and water types and fit his character aesthetic pretty well (If you guessed the other reason why I chose Tentacruel you are reading too much Levi fancfiction….And I’m too)

Gym Leader Satan wants to fight…

-The leader of the Psychic type gym. His gym is themed around an escape room and only the ones who can solve the mystery can challenge the leader.

-Before becoming a gym leader he traveled through a lot of regions learning all he could about pokemon so his team includes species he caught on a bunch of different places.

-the psychic type is often associated with intelligence and knowledge so I think it fits him well.

-There is no much to say about Galarian rapidash, it’s a psychic unicorn. He had to have one.

-Alakazam is known to be more intelligent than humans, a fitting partner for someone who believes knowledge is power

-Grumpig and Darmanitan are inspired on his sin. Grumpig has very powerful psychic power that he unleash upon angered and Darmanitan is a very calm pokemon when he is on zen mode but unleash all his wrath when it goes into blaze mode.

-Satan it’s not only book smart, he is also an adventurer so of course he’d feel attracted to the mysterious Sigilyph  usually found on ancient ruins and inspired on the Nazca lines.

-the last member of the team was a little more difficult to pick. Gallade is basically a white knight which is a weird thing to call a demon but if there is one that can act as one that’s Satan

Gym Leader Asmodeus wants to fight…

-Fairy type gym leader, he is also part time a contest trainer and he is really good at it.

-of course he only surrounds himself by pokemon as beautiful as himself.

-Asmo’s personality is based on the duality between his sweet and beautiful exterior and his darker side he keeps well hidden. Most of his pokemon show this but particularly Mimikyu, a pokemon that in its desire to be loved takes the appearance of the famous Pikachu.

-Hatterene just like Asmo has power over people’s feelings and on it’s design it reminds me so much of Asmo I had to make it his ace.

-Aromatisse is a pokemon based on perfume, cancan dancers and plague doctors. It likes being the center of attention as much as Asmo, so they’d get along well

-Shiinotic, Mawile and Gliscor represent his most dangerous side, not for nothing his animal is an scorpion. Both Shiinotic and Mawile are pokemon that are beautiful to look at but if you get too close you’d get either poisoned or biten…and well, Gligar is a literal scorpion (Sorry, the plot doesn’t give us much to work wih on this side, Asmo’s content tent to focus on his more “look I’m beautiful” side)

Gym Leader Beelzebub wants to fight…

-Normal type gym leader

-His team just like him looks bulky but they are a bunch of sweethearts.

-Tauros was inspired on his horns and the way he barrels like a bull when angered

-I know Greedent literally had greed on the name but it represents his gluttony as Greedent is known for hoarding and eating all food available.

-Munchlax had a similar reason behind, they eat a lot but are also very active. Much like Beel.

-Beel caught a little Teddyursa when younger because he thought it was cute and he loved seeing the little bear napping along Belphie. As they trained and grew stronger Teddyursa evolved on his most powerful pokemon, Ursaring.

-Miltank was a gift from Belphie, the younger twin figured Beel would enjoy having a limitless fountain of food with him.

-Cutiefly, I know this one doesn’t like it belongs on the team but it’s a cutie and a fly so I have to give one to Beel.

Gym Leader Belphegor wants to fight…

-Dark type gym leader (you all know why)

-Komala lives all its life asleep hugging a log like it’s a pillow, if that doesn’t scream Belphie I don’t know what.

-Musharna is a pokemon that’s said to bring good dreams, the same way Belphie got Miltank for Beel, Beel caught Musharna to take care of Belphie.

-Zoroark and Liepard are known for being tricksters and liars, much like Belphie enjoys pranking Lucifer and on the beginning hides his true nature from the MC. Inkay was chosen for a very similar reason he is a cute squid but has the potential to turn into the very dangerous Malamar.

-I’m going to get angsty and spoiler-ry on this one so consider yourself warned. Absol is believed to attract disaster and misery just like Belphie blames himself for what happened to Lilith and avoids peolple because of his guilt to the point he ends up causing real misery when he killed MC.

The undatebles coming soon...

Modern AU:40yr old! Jacob x Accidental Wife! Reader ch 3

One month later...

Y/n was coming home from her shift at Topping's legal firm, Robert gave her a job after Jacob found out she was working a risque bar called Garter-Belles (Not a real place it's a bar I made up,it's like Hooters except everyone dresses like sexy maids) Y/n couldn't decide what  was more embarrassing him seeing her topless within two minutes of knowing her, or seeing her in that damn maid outfit? Either way Jacob was pretty standoffish and snarky with her upon finding out she worked in that bar!

He seemed to calmed down after she quit he was still stung up about it, but now Y/n had too much free time on her hands, sure keeping tabs on Blume was a priority!... but it can get boring sitting on her arse all day. Luckily Robert seem to notice her unrest when she came to visit Jacob at his office after he called her to bring some documents he'd forgotten and offered her a job as a clerk at his law firm.

The y/ht woman was distracted when she received a text from one of her recruits, Kur0_M0ri telling her that they may have found a good place for a DedSec hideout, but it needs to be "cleaned out" before that can happen, Y/n lips formed a thin line and here she was hoping to keep her hands clean... She texted Mori back telling them to let her handle considering she had more experience in. "Cleaning"

While she was distracted by the text Y/n hadn't noticed another person had joined her in the elevator until she heard the muffled sound of music and glanced over to see a teenage boy about 14 years old maybe? leaning against the wall with bored look as he played with a DS, he wearing a school uniform and a black hoodie and and messy mop of brown hair under a baseball cap and he also had a duffle bag over his shoulder.

*Must be visiting someone..* The y/nat woman thought as she got a good look at the boys face... it was familiar especially around the chin and eye area... the boy's lips twitched as his hazel eyes looked up from his game at her. "Is there wrong with my face?" he huffed obviously annoyed at her gawking at him, Y/n's face felt hot as she muttered an apology then broke the awkward silence that followed... "Ultra Sun or Moon?" She asked finally noticing the Mimikyu on the screen.

"...You play pokemon?" he asked unsure. "Since I was a kid!" Y/n chirped as the boy or Emmett as he introduced himself opened up about how he just the ghost challenge. "Sweet did you go back to get Mimikyu's Z-move?" the teen gawked at her surprised. "there's a Z-move?" She was going to confirm this when the elevator pinged saying they on her floor, she went to apologize to Emmett only to realize he was getting off on this floor too!

Funny... 

The boy went on to explaine his mom and Step-father were going on vacation and he was spending the week with his dad and his witch to be Stepmom, the teen looked physically ill as he spat out the word Stepmom, Y/n hummed warily obviously feeling bad for the kid, She wished him the best of luck as they both stopped Jacob's door which caused the world to come to a screeching halt as Y/n and Emmett looked down at their keys then gave each other a "what the hell look"...

meanwhile

"Oh Shit,shit shit!" Jacob cussed as he tapped Y/n's number on his phone having just got the voice mail from Herb {Emmett's Stepfather.] He and Amanda were going on a holiday, and had sent Emmett to come and stay with him for a week! Now Jacob wasn't shy telling Y/n about his son, in fact he told her outright about him, after she asked if he had any other family aside from his sister? 

The problem is he never got around to telling her what he looked like or his name for that matter as they'd gotten interrupted by a work call on Jacob's part, he also neglected to tell his son about his new Stepmom! "C'mon,C'mon..." He hissed at the phone urging Y/n to answer when it finally picked up.

"Y/n! Y/n... okay, I don't want you panic, but I have tell yo-" the y/nat woman cut him off pretty quckly. "That my Stepsons coming for the spring holiday?" She said uncomfortable as Jacob pinched the bridge of his nose, and sighed in both relief and frustration. "He's already there isn't he?" he huffed Y/n mm-hmm'd confirming his suspicions. "Yep! and giving me a sour-look that puts my mother's 'I want the manager face' to shame..." She sees Emmett's eye twitch as she says this knowing his father was probably doing the same thing because: Karin.  

"Okay um, I'll be home ten minutes just try... I don't know."

"Well, that makes two of us!"

"Just wait for me alright? See you."

"Wait Jac-"

He hung up before Y/n could ask what their sleeping arrangements were going to be? Because obviously she wasn't going to let the kid sleep on the couch, speaking of which she turned towards Emmett who was sitting at the kitchen counter still glaring while eating a cookie... "So... Emmett ever seen Deadpool?" He doesn't answer her just keeps eating his cookie.

Y/n stomach felt twisted as she awkwardly walked towards the fridge. "Y'know those would go better with milk, I'm sure you must be thirsty." the boy swallowed his cookie and frowned at her. "I'm not." He hissed before getting up and stomping into her room. "Oh Emmett That's not--" The teen slammed the door. "...a guest room." The y/ht woman sighed and sat on the couch before turning on the TV and waited for Jacob to come home...

When Jacob did return home he found Y/n sitting on the couch watching How it's made, well not really watching... it was more like staring off into space, And the TV was just background noise, the assassin also noted his son was nowhere to be found, though it was obvious he was here; judging by the plate of half-eaten cookies and the y/ht woman's awkward and sluggish mood making her husband frown. 

"Where's-" he didn't have to finish Y/n almost in a daze pointed at her bedroom. "He locked me out and won't talk." Jacob winced at her deadpanned tone then knocked on the bedroom door. "Emmett, It's your father, can you open up so we can talk?" after a few seconds the door opened Y/n looked towards her room.

Emmett didn't even acknowledge her presence as Jacob's lips formed thin line this was obviously not how he planned to introduce them, he actually wanted to wait meet up with Emmett in private and explain the situation to him, and then check with Y/n to see if she was comfortable with the idea of meeting his son.

But seeing as the universe just loves to make Jacob Frye it's bitch... that plan was a bust. And so begins probably one of the most awkward discussions of Jacob's life! and the most tense week of Y/n's.
