in hindsight, easily the funniest remnant of Pokemon's early days being set in the (kinda-)real world is the Kanto Region.

You can scrub Indian Elephants and Lightning Americans from the series all you want, the Kanto Region is grandfathered in. It's iconic. You can't possibly get rid of it without a full reboot.

All the later games made up fantasy world versions of wherever they were based on. Hokkaido? No, no. Sinnoh. New York? Unova, actually.

But Gen 1 forever takes place here:

Me and my Kanto team

A collection of RBY Gijinkas, including Miles the Mr. Mime, Wankers Uni. the Raticate, & Nicki Minaj the Mew. :)

Every time I make a new team, I like drawing gijinkas of all of them as a fun character design challenge.  It helps me get creative!

SO u achieved ur dream and feel like youve peaked but youre just a kid whose done what most trainers never accomplish their entire lives. but somehow you didn't do it right. then that other kid from ur podunk hometown who used to be your best friend but you pushed him away and he took ur dream away from you and decided maybe he didn't really want it either and he left. now you're back in your little town not knowing how to fix any of it cos ur still just a kid. there's a gym leadership application u can fill out though and maybe it won't suck too bad

The one with my little bow-wows! I’m in love with Growlithe and Eevee’s designs in Red/Blue. Also this play session gave me a new affection for Dugtrio.

So umm…somehow I ended up making a VERY bizarre crossover between gen 1-5 and Vanguard

It started off as the random thought of what if Link Joker was in Pokémon and things spiraled out of control after that.

For those not in the know Link Joker is essentially like the Evil Dead but rated E. Basically, it’s like a supernatural infection where if you loses to a reverse fighter in a battle then you become reversed. If a reverse fighter loses then they are freed. It’s like some sort of contract whenever you fight a reverse fighter. You’re staking your soul and freedom to save someone from it. The entity behind this is known as the Void which is putting its essence in people and taking them over. They retain their intelligence (for instance reverse fighters are smart enough to hide that they’re reversed) and parts of their personality. However, their personality is warped. Much like Vanguard when you lose your deck or in this case Pokémon team gets reversed too. They don’t really know this at first though and have to find this out 😅.

As for how reverse Pokémon would function I kinda imagine them like a combination of some sort of evil regional variants and shadow Pokémon.

The reverse units themselves would be UBs along with the Void itself.

So, takes place 3 years after DPPT & HGSS it starts with Olympia having an ominous premonition about Link Joker’s arrival. In preparation she tries to gather the Lake Trio to use against the threat. However, she ends up getting blindsided by Chaos Breaker Dragon. Link Joker literally was able to take over a guy who had a book that could tell him about any possible future so precognition won’t save her.

So, she is defeated and taken over then becomes Link Joker agent much like Takuto. The agent seems to be like the Void’s representative kinda (Vanguard doesn’t explain things well okay). Anyway, if the agent loses then the everyone is freed. Nice, right 🙂? However…whoever beats the agent has the seed of Link Joker enter them which will eventually resurrect Link Joker and make them the new agent. So…not good.

With the protags Lucas was actually the office assistant and Dawn was the protagonist of DPPT. Also Dawn’s in the 1800s rn which honestly is a blessing in disguise considering what’s going to happen 😅. Lucas misses his friend and feels like kinda a fraud. Like his friends saved the world and he’s just like an office assistant. After Dawn went missing he’s been trying to get stronger to pick up the slack and keep Sinnoh safe. He’s been working with Looker off and on and finally got around to getting all eight gym badges.

Ethan is currently in Sinnoh training to get stronger after actually losing to Red. At this point the dude seriously has like 32 gym badges. He’s completed the Hoenn league to train and is on Sinnoh now. He ends up befriending the depressed Lucas and helps him gain some more confidence in himself and helps him get better at battling. Of course he’s having some of his own confidence issues that he won’t share after losing to Red. He has basically forcibly adopted Lucas. He needs it honestly. His dad is Professor Sycamore who is lite too stupid to live as himself without divine intervention. After getting Cynthiaed Lucas and Ethan are having a talk. Then, suddenly Red appears leaving Ethan stunned. He can tell that something is different about him, he has a strange creature with him and he’s acting bizarrely animated. Ethan ends up losing and getting reversed which leaves Lucas sadder, confused, and alone. Cynthia and the Elite Four appear and help Lucas get away.

Brandon has just kinda chilled out and is focused on becoming a rescue worker, he hasn’t actually battled in 6 years. Yes, he’s pulled a Gohan but unlike Gohan he gets it through his skull that he needs to keep training after this happens. He’s still in Hoenn and has absolutely no idea what is about to happen. If he didn’t have trust issues before then he’s going to gain them😅. Brendan is heading home one day as he just starts to notice that something is off but everything seems normal enough. He just thinks he’s being paranoid. He finds his dad being an asshole and is challenged to a battle but his dad is always an ass so he doesn’t notice 🤣. Like my brother in Arceus he put is son in the back on the moving truck with the luggage. You cannot convince me that he’s a good father.

However, he slowly starts to realize he’s in a horror movie. This culminates in him having to battle everyone in Little Root town and having the most desperate battle of his life against reversed May. So, this gives him the wake up call he needed to get back in the game. He becomes determined to find whoever caused this, starts training again, and searches around Hoenn for them. Steven ends up arriving soon after to tell Brandon what’s going on. Essentially the reverse was originally isolated to Sinnoh with it being kept secret to prevent a worldwide panic. However, it seemed one reverse fighter slipped through Hoenn’s defenses.

One important detail to mention is that he released Rayquaza after the game mostly because Rayquaza is a being that performs an important function in protecting to ozone layer and he felt that it wasn’t right to keep Rayquaza for that reason. He gets Rayquaza back later though while Rayquaza and Zygarde are hunting down Link Joker units. I thought that Zygarde should actually do its job so it is😅.

Hilbert is on the other side of the world chilling at Blueberry Academy in the Terrarium and he couldn’t be happier. He has literally no idea that any of this is happening. This is an after he’s beaten N and Ghetsis but hasn’t beaten the Elite Four yet or set out to find N. He appears way later after Alder lets it slip that something weird is happening over in Japan.

Cliff notes version:

Here’s their teams:

Note: Ethan and Hilbert do have Lugia and Zekrom. These are just the versions of their teams without them AKA their casual not saving the world teams. Like let’s be real do you think they’re going to use a Pokémon that could destroy a continent or the world on a normie? This isn’t following game scaling it’s following lore scaling. That’s like using a hydrogen bomb against a coughing baby. That would just be cruel😅. Latios is weaker so Brendan can get away with it. Also I have my own unique idea for the legendaries that make them more god-like and a bit more balanced at the same time but that’s a discussion for another post.

I will talk about the girls in part 2 because I don’t have enough image space left in this post.

[seaquestions]

not to keep going on abt this but i've been thinking abt this line for actual literal Years, um. in olivine city when silver says "Humph! Boo-hoo! Just let sick Pokémon go! A Pokémon that can't battle is worthless!" like. it's probably just him re-enacting the way the environment he grew up in treated pokemon. but i can't help read into it and wonder if he's been neglected while sick. cos like, as i see it, his general fixation on the strength and worth of his pokemon is an extension of himself very very desperately not wanting to be weak and helpless, as a kid who literally has to fend for himself right now. seen through this lens, the way he treats his pokemon is likely a reflection of how people have treated him. like. this is a child, the sheer callousness of it has to come from somewhere. this is something he heard, or god forbid something someone said to him. if he'd ever been cared for, i think there'd be something that doesn't compute, "why a sick person would be cared for but a sick pokemon isn't." but because he says this line, it tells me that nobody ever has.

[daily-pokemon-trivia]

Fan theory time! Know that this is a theory and therefore is not outright canon, even if it sounds plausible!!

Cubone was originally supposed to be the the child of Kangaskhan.

The evidence is that the skull of Cubone looks like the head of a Kangaskhan. 

Cubone's signature move is called "bonemerang", a mix between bone and boomerang. Boomerangs are a stereotypical Australian thing, and Khangaskans could be based on kangaroos, stereotypical Australian animals. 

The final piece of evidence is that there is a glitched pokemon in red and blue (kind of like missingno), if you manage to level this pokemon up there's a chance it can evolve into a Kangaskhan. This could imply that Kangaskhan was supposed to have a pre-evolution

Brendan: I can be your partner for the next race. Red: Sorry, Brendan. It's a sibling race. Ash: Maybe there's a contest for lonely children after this. Red: It's only children, Ash. A lonely child is what you're gonna be when I sell you!
