Here’s another theoretical special Terastral form, like how Gigantamax worked for certain mons.

Here's a Sableye that's pretty happy about the new gimmick.

All Known Terastal Crowns (Tera Jewels) in pokémon Scarlet Violet:

For some context, pokémon gain crowns when they terastallize. The appearance of this crown is based on their Tera type, and will change their type in turn.

[Short Comic] Brilliant Idea

---

"Ideas can come brilliantly, like the Electric Tera Jewel. That is until they run out..."

Electric Teratype Jewel is the best pun to ever exist in Pokémon.

Anyway, this comic is also written to show the struggles of creators in terms of making ideas and trying to make them a reality. Things do take time and effort. Sometimes the ideas themselves could suck, or could be way beyond our limits. But let's not be daunted by the limits and keep our dreams aglow like the Electric Tera Jewel... or probably brighter and much longer than that.

So here me out

Ash isn't the main character but he's in the anime as a recurring character

Kinda like Cynthia in journeys

Or like the side characters in past series like Hunter J or Professors or etc where they appear for an episode that kind relates to their side plot but not anything main plot wise

Maybe Ash is there so he can do one specific thing like maybe a tutorial for Terastal for Liko and Roy while he does a side plot of saving a Pokemon

Then like 45 episodes later he comes back gives another trick to them about Terastal while preventing a team rocket attack

Then like another 20 episodes Ash comes and concludes the terastal lessons with maybe a raid battle

So like 3 appearances that keep him in the anime, he is nowhere near a side character let alone the main character but he has a connection to the Pokemon anime still

Kinda like whenever you see an old character in the new series, Joseph Joestar in the third Jojo’s, now retroactively seeing Obiwan Yoda, etc in the original trilogy of star wars, naruto characters in boruto, etc doesn't take too much away from the main cast

The other idea is the idea mostly spread is the Yugioh GX handling of the new main character

Where first episode Jaden runs into an older Yugi but they hide his face but the hair and everything gives him away

And Yugi passes the baton to Jaden

Then at the end of GX they duel thanks to magic

So it could be like that Ash gives Liko or Roy something passing the baton and by the end maybe year's from now they battle to test Liko or Roy

Also if you can find the artists for the Ash Liko arts as I saw it on a meme page

SV DLC Ramble

After quite some time we finally got in-game footage of the Scarlet and Violet DLC (The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero), both from Kitkami and the Blueberry Academy. And I’ve gotta say, this is looking to be great, and perhaps even grander than the SwSh DLC which stayed put in Galar.

Kitakami as we all expected seems to be travelling overseas back to a Japan based region, Kitakami even being a place in the Iwate Prefecture in the real world. The Iwate Prefecture is located in the Tohoku region in Japan, which is south of Hokkaido and north of the Kanto region in real Japan. 

If we were to use real world Japan as a basis that would mean that Kitakami would be south of Sinnoh and north of Kanto+Johto (the latter being based on Kansai), with Hoenn being the furthest south of the five.

Kitakami does seem to be based in the Pokemon world’s equivalent of Japan in that regard, with the presence of Johtonian Wooper being one of the biggest signs: unlike previous games, this time we’ll actually get to see the original forms of the regional forms Paldea introduced (and by extension Quagsire) actually be catchable in Kitakami. Perhaps Kantonian Tauros will also be available in Kitakami as well. 

The three “hero” legendaries seem like an interesting trio. They uniquely possess the ability Toxic Chain which seems to badly poison opponents if they attack. It’s pretty nice to have Poison-type legendaries nowadays after Poison was shafted as a legendary/mythical type for so long: first Eternatus and now these three. The fact that they are Poison-type however does raise questions as to what their relation to Ogerpon is: especially since poison implies toxicity and negative impressions. Ogerpon is an interesting beast, being under a mask, and perhaps having connections to the Terastal phenomenon.

The Blueberry Academy on the other hand seems to have more new characters like the director Cyrano and a fellow student in Lacey. 

I was curious how they were going to incorporate wild Pokemon aka the returning Pokemon to catch in the Indigo Disk with it taking place in the Blueberry Academy, an underwater school and facility but it seems they’re using a giant Terrarium that acts as a wildlife preserve and park, filled with a variety of environments to boot. Pretty cool way to incorporate that into a modernized facility setting. Hopefully there’s a battle facility of some sorts here as well.

It’s also interesting that the Blueberry Academy also involves traveling abroad (aka overseas), much like Kitakami. Together, both of these places being entirely separate settings in the world from Paldea, unlike with SwSh which stayed in Galar, would imply that the Terastal phenomenon has been found in places *outside* of Paldea, which puts it more in line with Mega Evolution in that regard. While Z-Moves and Dynamax are pretty deeply entrenched in Alola and Galar and the latter cannot be used outside of it, Terastal while originally found in Paldea seems to have sightings of it being present in other places as well like Kitakami and the place where the Blueberry Academy is. This is somewhat of a parallel to Mega Evolution albeit with slightly less dubious origins, in that while Mega Evolution is dominantly found in Kalos and was believed to only be found there at one point, Mega Evolution energy has also been found in Hoenn and has its own origin story there as well. 

Perhaps a similar case is occurring with Terastal as well: like Megas being found in Hoenn, another Japan-based region has sightings of Terastal, and in this case Ogerpon may play a role in the lore behind the Terastal phenomenon as well. Terastal is already my favorite super mechanic since Mega Evolution itself, and lore wise it’s looking even more interesting than Z-Moves and Dynamax ever were which may draw me to it more. 

I definitely look forward to playing this DLC, travelling to new places outside of Paldea and exploring new landscapes (which for the record, are looking incredibly vibrant and diverse, even moreso than Paldea) and exploring the lore of them in relation to Terastal, Terapagos, and Area Zero is interesting, and I genuinely enjoyed SV in spite of its technical problems so the DLC is gonna be more icing on the cake (contrast SwSh which was underwhelming and the DLC had to save it, and even then was overall smaller in scope than SV+DLC is setting up to be).

So, a while back it was announced that Toby Fox would be composing some music for SV, and he confirmed he did the music for the Terastal Raid battlesa
