local subway master returns from the dead, accidentally crashes own public memorial, publicly chewed out by brother for interrupting a very heartfelt eulogy, more at 11 (based on this post by @hoofpeet​ , bonus under the cut)

What do you do for a living, Jamie? This can go to Cody as well I guess

I protect my home as a Ranger. Not the kind that have the spinny things. Rangers here have their own Pokemon and patrol the town. A natural fit for me, although the teamwork part is... kinda hard for me... Unless it's with Pokemon or my sister-in-law. She's a Ranger too. Got me into it, really.

I help people around town with odd jobs! I also carve wood sculptures to sell online and in town. ^-^

thinking about pokemon black and white and all the little touches which showed how much heart was put into these games. other instruments being added to the music when you talked to certain npcs. the seasons changing. the lively streets of castelia city with dialogue boxes popping up and the sunset you could watch from the royal unova. the scale of the bridges. the past/future theme incorporated in the city designs. all the references to the original b&w games in b&w2. how you could get some of n’s pokemon in b&w2. tcheren and bianca’s growth. it has been said a lot but 2d pokemon games just have something so special to them - it may be just nostalgia talking, but something about all these little details gave these games so much more depth <3

I know nothing of the Pokémon submas fandom but I have a few dumb ideas so here’s some headcanons about amnesiac New York subway conductors.

-Ingo and Emmet where the kids of a famous businessesperson who expanded vastly the commuter subway system in Unova and made it a common form of transportation (e.g, where there a bunch of man made tunnels in the region and why the region has so much green space despite it being a densely packed city; it doesn’t need roads and stuff).

-Their parents where the kind of people to dress their identical twins in matching outfits. The twins hated it at first, but kind of ended up gaslighting themselves into liking it in adulthood.

-Due to their family having a lot of financial freedom, they where free to explore many interests in their childhood. Both ended up going down the “classical protagonist” path (y’now, early gyms and the ye olde Pokédex). Emmet was more interested in the battling stuff, while Ingo was more interested in collecting (perhaps he was the equivalent of BW/BW2 protags to Cederic).

-Emmet attempted championhood at one point, failed but was offered a position as elite four and took it. Got bored fast (this was a time before Pokémon battles had become popular as a professional sport, people actually going to the championship was rare and actually exiciting battles where basically non-existant). Tried intentionally dropping position to gym leader for the sake of slightly more entertainment, but was equally bored with that. IDK what type he specialized in, if any (a lot of the “unspoken rules” in the league, such as type specialties for Elite four and gym leaders, wouldn’t be set until the equivalent of the 1990-early 2000’s, when the league became more popular).

-Ingo excelled in catching and raising mon’s, but struggled academically in college (idk what he was studying, perhaps he was trying to become the Bianca to Cenderic).

-They both ended up trying to go down the path of “normal” jobs; being high level managers for the subway system. They hated it.

-To keep themselves entertained, they joined a rail workers battle club. They rose to the top fast.

-One of their co-workers jokingly suggested “they do one of those battle salon-arcade-tower things, but in the subway”.

-They find some way to “rent out” a train that was derelict and was going to be taken off the tracks and scrapped. They put advertisements in local papers, calling trainers to ride the subway (“you’ll know which one when you see it”)

Also this is all working off the headcanon of the Submas Twins being somewhat elderly, maybe late middle age (?) (old enough to be going grey and balding (I’m sorry), but still young enough to survive being yoited into the wilds of 1800 century northern Japan). I don’t remember them ever getting canonical ages (I could be wrong, I don’t look at bulbapidia for human reference that often).

(Also Emmet’s gym was train station themed, likely in Nimbasa City; there was no budget for theming the elite four members rooms when he was around, so said theme did not extend to that)

You know, one concept I always love is mysterious dream visions that are meant to tell the person getting them what they need to find/get their hands on to achieve their goal.

Like, say, Emmet having a dream of Ingo in a deep sleep with a weird rock embedded in the palm of his hand, then seeing the rock locked in a wooden box with a weird symbol on the front of it. (And the unexplained felling that this is really important and he needs to remember it.)

Been thinking about how I'd rank each of the new pokemon introduced in each generation and I'm curious what the consensus is, so I'm running two polls.

Including Megas, Regional Variants, GMaxes, etc in the generation those new forms were introduced in, not the original Pokemon:
