Howdy, I’m Fletcher! I’m an Ace Trainer. 🌟

Started my Pokemon journey back in 2012, Unova born and raised. I’ve traveled to Sinnoh, Kalos, Hoenn, Johto, Alola. Some to battle the gyms, some just as trips. I have a small collection of random gym badges lmao 🫡

Currently back in Unova for a bit living in an apartment in Striaton, working part time at the Striaton City Gym’s Restaurant (as a waiter not a trainer lol, catch me off the clock if you wanna battle bc people will fire you for battling on company time- I would know). Otherwise in my free time you can find me traveling around the region riding my bike and battling.

Mostly interested in training, having a silly time with my gaggle of creatures, and getting out to see the world 🌍 (see the sights✨, taste the foods 😋 cook the foods!), but also slowly working on my ‘Dex. There’s so many ‘mons dude 😭

My main team consists of a Samurott, Joltik, Leafeon, Glaceon, Archeops, and Zoroark! Respectively named Tsunami, Louie, Green Bean, Flurry, Goob, and Pepper! Although you’ll probably hear me call them by their nicknames more than their actual names lol, you know how it is.

(Disclaimer: this is a roleplay blog set in the Pokemon universe, and everything without being explicitly marked ooc is RP. My personal posts will be tagged with unreality but my reblogs may not be. If any of this is potentially triggering for any users I recommend you block this blog, take care of yourself 🌟)

i am far from the best when it comes to typing out well thought out media analysis but, one of the most engaging parts of pokémon for me that i rarely see discussed in the larger fandom as a while is the franchises recurring themes of duality. You can spot it just about everywhere if you know where to look for it and i don't just mean each mainline game releasing as a pair. there's this recurring theme of yin and yang, opposites that complete eachother. (with Ho-oh and Lugia taking inspiration from the Phoenix and Dragon that represent the idea of yin and yang.) The games especially have this recurring themes of balance and coexistence, Team Magma and Team Aqua having to work together, the Diamond and Pearl clans having to learn to accept eachother it's all over the games. The Unova games and its themes of truth and ideals and how you shouldn't chose one over the other and instead embrace both of them. The idea that in order to have a bright future humans must learn to respect and bind with pokémon and nature. You can really do some many different analyses of the franchise exploring that theme and it's a shame i don't see more people talk about it.

I have designed my two protagonists through customization. Here are the infos about these two characters.

Rosa and Vio are cousins to each other as Rosa's mother and Vio's father are siblings. Both of them are 14 years old which makes them as same age as Penny. Their design and characteristic traits are inspired by the certain gemstones, which are Rose Quartz and Iolite respectively. As such, Rosa represents emotion whereas Vio represents rationality.

Rosa was born to wealthy Scarlett family in Floaroma Town of Sinnoh region. Ethnically, she is one quarter Kantonian and three quarter Galarian (Pokemon equivalent of one quarter Japanese and three quarter English) as her paternal grandmother is Kantonian, though her paternal grandfather is Galarian Sinnohan. Her family in Sinnoh consists of paternal grandparents, paternal aunt and uncle (aunt's husband), paternal cousin, and mother. Her father unfortunately passed away few years prior of beginning of stories. Unlike Penny who is very annoyed with her own father, Rosa loves her father so much that she became very interested in something related to Hisui as her father and her uncle (aunt's husband) are researchers of Hisui. He was supposed to be a head of Scarlett family, but due to his passing his elder sister became the head of the family instead. As such, she made few of maids train her daughter and Rosa the kunoichi skills and arts of refinements (the way of fragrance, tea, and flower). Rosa's paternal grandmother comes from kunoichi family in Kanto Region.

Vio was born to upper middle class Violett family in Opelucid City of Unova region. He is ethnically half Galarian and half Unovan (Pokemon equivalent of half British half American) as his mother is Unovan. His family in Unova consists of just mother and father. Like Penny who is very annoyed with her own father, Vio is very annoyed with his own mother as she is too over-doting and hysterical. His mother is part of International Police, specifically cyber investigation. As such, Vio sometimes was trained under it, enabling him to develop great detective like cautiousness, perception and reasoning.

Bruv, this took soo fucking long.

New AU dropping, boys.

So basically it's a hybrid between the 'toxic chain/possessed Kieran' AU and the 'Kieran is Ogerpon' AU.

In this AU, the events of the teal mask play out normally.

After Kieran looses his fight to Julianna, he starts hearing a mysterious voice in his head. It starts playing with his insecurities and telling him he needs to be stronger.

"That's why the oger didn't want you as a trainer. You were too weak".

Thanks to the voices advise and 'encouragement', Kieran quickly rises through the ranks of the Blueberry League and becomes champion. However, he also becomes a massive jackass.

The voice tell him that everyone is beneath him. He starts bullying other club members until the point were everyone is too imtimidated by him to hang out with him.

He is distant and aggressive towards the Elite 4. He doesn't even attend meetings and barley does any of his champion responsibilities, causing Amarys and Crispin to step up. Lacey was too busy helping Cyrano with academic duties. Drayton dedicated all his time to helping out the trainers Kieran bullied.

Kieran started skipping classes and dedicated all his time to training. The only person who still talked to him was Carmine.

However, after months of trying to reach out, Kieran finally snapes at Carmine, causing her to retreat from him. After this, Kieran finally realises he is truly alone. But thats when the voice makes a deal with him.

He could continue living his life alone and unloved or he could dawn the mask and start a new life. Kieran takes the mask, not fully understanding the deal. He ends up loosing his human form and turning into an Ogerpon. It is then that the voice reveals itself as Pecharunt and it steals Kieran human life.

Because of Kieran's shitty behaviour, he suspended from the academy for one month and 'Kieran' is sent back to Kitikami.

Kieran is left roaming around the Terrarium, dealing with the fact that he is now a pokemon and a whole fuck load of self esteem issues.

However, he is eventually found by Carmine and the new exchange student, Julianna.

Some notes in this AU -

Kieran isn't evil. He's a young child who needs help and the only people who notice are also children themselves. (Carmines doing what she can but she's still young and inexperienced)

Pecharunt has no control over Kierans actions or emotions. He basically says things to Kieran to encourage his negative thoughts and continue his unhealthy downward spiral.

I didn't explain this earlier but when Kieran put on the Ogerpon mask, he left behind a human mask that represents his human form. Pecharunt is currently wearing it.

Pecharunt wants a family again. He woke up many years later to find the old couple he used to live with had died. He wanted a family again but he wanted to live equally among the humans as well. So he started scheming to steal Kierans human life.

His plan just consists of him manipulating Kierans life until he was completely cut off from his friends and family. Once Kieran has nothing, he could trick Kieran into trading him his human life, then he could rebuild Kieran's life from the ground up.

Kieran's not having fun adjusting to life as a pokemon but he believes it's his punishment for being a dick to everyone.

Juliana's meowscarada is called Verde (haven't figured out what the rest of her team consists of yet). Carmine's mightyanna is called Subarashi (Suba for short), her sinistchi is called Chia, morpeko is Kamu and ninetails is Kyu (I used google translate for this, sorry if they're weird). Kieran's furret is called Shippo and his hydrapple is called Ringo.

Fun fact - This plot concept was taken from an old submas fanfic I started writing but never finished. Short summary was Ingo coming back to modern day Unova but he still has amnesia. His and Emmets relationship becomes very strained. Emmets ends up making a deal with Giratina to help turn him into a zorua and use hi illusion powers to get close to Ingo again. (I may post a full summary of the story one day)

Because of this, in the original draft, Kieran was going to turn into a zorua. I changed it just incase I ever wanted to revisits the old fic. Also I thought it would be funny if he turned into ogerpon.

This was heavily inspired by the Kieranpon au, the possessed Kieran au and the movie 'a whisker away'.

Sorry for any spelling errors. No excuse just can't spell for shit.

Best Legendary Pokémon Tournament- Round 4: Match 6

They may face away from each other in their portraits, but there's no avoiding it- Silvally and Reshiram must face off! Close matches or sweeps, Silvally has always carried a lot of support, with many tags and comments rooting for it and its pre-evolution. But facing the dragon that represents truth, the truth will come to light- who will win this match? Reshiram has been the most successful member of the Tao trio and undoubtedly carries the hopes of many Unova fans, can that be enough to win the day?

_________________________ Disclaimers _________________________

*One poll per user means that if I've reblogged more than one of your polls, I'll only use results from one of them. The criteria I went for was the poll with the the least theming (i.e. shiny, region, or type) and the most votes (bigger sample size)

**For the purpose of this post, I counted regional variants and mega evolutions as separate species. I also counted all three Paldean Tauros's as a single entity. All regional variants counted towards the generation they were introduced in. All Mega Evolutions counted towards Gen 6 (Kalos).

For type totals, I pulled the numbers from Serebii and subtracted any duplicates based on the above criteria. Alternate forms counted for any additional types, but nothing that repeats types.

I.e. Arceus/Silvally counted as 1 for all (unique) types. Castform counted as 1 for Normal, Fire, Ice and Water. Oricorio counted for Flying, Electric, Fire, Psychic and Ghost. Etc. Etc.

All the above pokemon only counted for (overall) type total if the specific form was represented.

I.e. Arceus/Silvally/Castform counted only for Normal unless a specific form was mentioned. Oricorio counted for flying and the corresponding form's secondary type.

i love unova. it's the only region where every mon feels like it's on equal footing. it's a land of organic popularity.

the only gen 5 mega is audino. the only gen 5 gigantamax is garbodor. pla rolls around and suddenly there's a new genie. sv comes along and now bisharp has an evolution for some reason. the most popular unovamon across multiple polls is a fucking chandelier, you couldn't pick a better representative for the generation that was torn to shreds on release for its objectmons. you just never know what you're going to get from unova.

if someone tells you their favorite pokemon is something from gen 5, more than any other region, you know that this person has a deep love for pokemon. unova is just, fuckin great man.

[jaimemes]

How are mythicals and legendaries treated and seen over in your universe? It's probably pretty casual right, since you've just... chatted with some on here without any concern after you knew about the multiverse.

Absolutely not, anon.

There is no definitive proof that most legendaries exist in our universe, save for a few like the Tapus or Eternatus or Groudon and Kyogre. Several times there have been people who have claimed to have seen beasts of myth and legend, but these accounts have either been unconfirmed or outright disproved.

Pretty much every kid grows up hearing stories of stuff like Xerneas turning people into trees because they pissed it off or Reshiram and Zekrom fighting so fiercely that the geography of the entire Unova region was irreversibly altered. Here in Paldea, they tell the tale of four treasures that brought an entire kingdom to ruin in a single night.

It's actually really jarring to see you all be so casual about catching, being, or fighting legendaries in your universes because, to us, most of those legends are actual divine gods— thought to be the physical embodiment of their represented domains. There are genuine religions surrounding legendaries. Wars have been fought over the existence and holiness of these Pokemon (Never let a Hoennian and a Johtonian argue about who the true Lord of the Sea is. It will not end well) or which religious sects are the "true" belief. Hell, even my family heavily respects Victini— for treasure's sake, Victoria was named after the thing!

There's been a recent rise in the fear of legendaries over the years after the Hoennian Tragedy and the Darkest Day. People have now started retroactively blaming certain incidents in the past on legendary influence.

I cannot emphasize enough that legendaries and mythicals are anything but casual to us. The only reason I seem calm about this online is because I had the majority of my big freak-out offline after Z proved her point.

Second to last Poketober batch! This time it’s more random but of course Unova must be represented

[galarian-ecologist]

Hello! I’m Jackdaw Natividad originally from Alola but is now a resident of Galar working towards her PhD in Pokemon Ecology! (If any of you are curious it’s Blueberry Academy).

As for my credentials:

- Four years spent at Hau’oli’s Community Pokemon Academy for my Bachelors in Alolan Ecology

- Two years spent in Paldea at Naranja Academy for my first half of my Masters in General Pokémon Biology

- Currently part of an exchange student project in Galar, representing Blueberry Academy in Unova! (3 years away from my Doctorate!)

What my team consists of?

My Pokémon team is very much geared towards practical work and research than for battling. All of my Pokémon have been certified as research assistant pokemon and thus highly discouraged to battle.

- Male Corviknight named Kwek-kwek: Specializes in transportation and is the main way I get around Galar. (Please don’t ride any corviknight, they have to be licensed by the Sky Taxi Association)

- Male Dedenne named Plop: He’s a great companion when it comes to traveling through small spaces. Often equipped with a camera on his back to get close up shots of the world of smaller Pokémon.

- Female Obstagoon named Scrapper: She’s there for both helping carry equipment as well as being able to disengage aggressive pokemon with obstruct. She’s equipped with her own tool belt and has a bright orange collar.

- Female Braviary named Araw: She’s specialized for aerial views, allowing me to take surveys from a Birds Eye view. She’s equipped with a camera vest that has Blueberry’s Academy logo on it. (Specially loaned equipment)

- Female Blissey named Lola: She’s the onboard medic and veterinarian of our team. Specially trained to handle either large or aggressive Pokémon. Certified by Galar and Unova’s Medical Association.

- Pheromosa named Vida: They’re a rescue ultra beast who was deemed unsuitable to be returned to ultra space. I am currently training them to be able to keep up with much faster pokemon as well as quickly fetch tools.

This blog is a pokemon irl blog! I’ll tag with unreality so others can block if needed!

I treat pokemon as animals unless their Pokédex states otherwise. So this will cover topics such as predation, animal remains, bodily functions and death. Avoid if you’re squeamish.

I do not have an actual degree in ecology but it’s my special interest.

I do not own the Pokémon sword and shield games and my information comes from Bulbapedia, Pokedex and Serebii as well as various YouTube video clips and more.

I also will have sideblog moments where I reblog something that was meant for my main on here
