#Well there goes the pokemon team

[kitsquared]

No no I remember another reason why i didnt give Chuuya a dog pokemon. It's not which dog pokemon it's why not all lmaoo which he deserves but it doesn't fit in my main route idea of them

[lunarharp]

shirahama-sensei reminded me she has a thing for the teacher from pokemon s/v so i randomly went off on an au where qifrey is the professor. etc

[klanced]

I still have no idea how Veracxa actually played out in the show but I’m enamored by the idea that the team spends years fighting like the bitchiest most tenacious most androgynous lesbian ever. And then she becomes Lance’s sister-in-law.

Actually, Guzman is his spanish name.

OH YEAH some other folks pointed that out too, makes sense since it's an irl Spanish name (probably why I see it around a lot!) 😳

(normally it's a surname, I've only seen it used as a first name once in a blue moon -- but also in the pokemon world it's pretty clear that naming conventions aren't the same lol)

okay so as a gen 5 stan who does adore the story in bw and bw2, and now that gen 5 has experienced both a vicious hatedom that wouldnt hear a single positive thing about the games, and now a super protective fandom that insists they were perfect and had zero flaws... can we admit now that the bw1 story at least was. a little mid.

Tell me about your pokemon OCs please :D?

[took forever to get to this cause I didn't get a notif for it???] I didn't think I'd get this far...

most of the "ocs" are the customizable protags from the newer games BUT...I do have one (1) original with their own little backstory

say hi to auria !! (image made with this picrew)

uh-ohhh arceus fucked up! when sending the legends protag back to hisui, a few others got warped around in time! and auria was no exception!

auria is originally from hisui, but was sent forward in time (a couple years after ethan/lyra would become champion) and now lives in the woods around ecruteak city in johto. she's now found herself with nothing but a book full of pokemon sketches and notes (her pokedex), the clothes on her back, and her first name...

and her team of course!

in order: sage, spark, splash, sprout, sneaks, scout

but who knows how the people of johto would react to seeing such a strange typhlosion...

(more backstory under the cut) [cw for pokemon death and a lil bit of violence]

auria was always very interested in pokemon and loved researching them and studying them before she was ever discovered and brought in by the survey corps (NOT the galaxy team. it's the team rocket equivalent basically). she had run away from home at a very young age in order to join an expedition team cause it was her live-long dream of finding out what these pokemon were all about. at her age, however, pokemon were more feared than anything else, so she was relied on heavily to do most of the research given her bravery around them. she even made pokeballs by herself, though not nearly as stable or useful as they were once she was taught how to make them properly, but it was basically enough to make others trust her to get the job done

auria put ALL of her time and energy into pokemon, up to the point of barely speaking with other humans over the years, only communicating with her team and other wild pokemon. one of the last pokemon she caught for her team was...a shy, terrified teddiursa. auria didn't want to force it to be a part of her team, so she offered it food and let it be afterwards. with this act of kindness, the teddiursa started coming back for more food, and eventually learned to trust auria and stay with her. auria decided to name the little teddiursa "sweetie"

she did everything for her team, though sweetie was basically the runt of the team...it hardly fought due to its fear and anxiety, but that didn't stop auria from loving it as much as the rest of her pokemon. while the others evolved and got stronger...sweetie stayed at a lower level and continued to be small. auria was basically carrying it around like a baby for a majority of their time together, but this wasn't necessarily a bad thing by any means

one day, while auria and her team were sound asleep at their campsite, some researchers from the survey corps had snuck up on them. auria was bonding with these "dangerous beasts" WAY too easily, and it led a lot of the team to not trust her anymore, especially considering her lack of communication once she were given the resources to continue her own catching and research on her own terms. so...they had approached the camp with weapons and some of their own pokemon, and sweetie was the only one awake at the time, and jumped out to protect auria. and in its moment of heroism...it evolved into ursaring, letting out a terrifying roar that scared the researchers and woke up auria, just in time for her to witness her precious sweetie...get killed in front of her very eyes.

the anguish she felt...it sent auria over the edge and she screamed, attacking the researchers with her pokemon. they were begging and attempting to say it was a misunderstanding, or that they were just trying to help save her from the dangers of her team...but she didn't give them a chance. after the survey corps members retreated, auria ran off as well with the rest of her team, leaving herself with only her pokemon for comfort, never to be found by the expedition team again

originally, she had planned on getting revenge. she trained her team until all of them were fully evolved and powerful, she found and caught a very high level garchomp and trained it to attack without mercy...it was going scarily well. but then she suddenly found herself feeling dizzy, light-headed...and she woke up in the middle of some unfamiliar woods. she was not in hisui anymore

now, fearful of the unknown, she survives in the woods with her pokemon, and tries to learn about the modern world without being noticed so she can eventually show herself confidently...or find a way back to hisui so she can finish what she started

whatever comes first...

If you've been playing the new pokemon games and you've run into one very purple/pink boy named Amadis.....

Hey while in the castle, maybe see if you can find the team plasma musical. The script should still exist.

Early on into their 'campaign', they wrote a musical about the two brothers who first partnered with Zekrom and Reshiram. The thing was apparently bullshit, leaving out Kyurem and glossing over the war and that they killed each other, and of course the whole thing was a thinly veiled propaganda piece about the one true king and the tyranny of Pokeballs.

Nimbasa theatre threw them out as soon as they saw it, but I heard from a friend Team plasma kept the original copy. Could be worth finding, either for a laugh or to burn, depending on the feeling I guess.

if we find that script, we're getting blasted and putting on the show of a lifetime

[pigeon-wizard]

imagining pokemon rivals being weird teenagers hanging out together is my favourite past time

so what would team chaos brainwashed emmet's team be like?

ooooh, now isn't THIS fun to think about... possibly something along the lines of this?

[skipppppy]

The “Mr Mime is Ash’s dad” theory mildly irks me NOT because I don’t like it or whatever but bc the canon reason Mimey is there is just SO MUCH FUNNER. For plot related reasons Ash dresses up as a Mr Mime in a circus just outside Pallet town but gets kidnapped by Team Rocket. Brock and Misty are like “oh they’ll let him go once they realise he’s not a Pokemon, we should tell Delia that he’s gonna show up at her house in a Mr Mime costume so she isn’t freaked out” but then an ACTUAL Mr Mime shows up at her house before he does and because Delia is as faceblind as her son she mistakes it for him. And this Mr Mime is like “oh I like it here” and starts helping out around the house doing chores in exchange for food. And then when Ash DOES get home he’s like “mom why is there a Mr Mime here” and she goes “oops! Well he helps more around the house than you so I’m keeping him” and does. Mimey is not Ash’s dad. Mimey is his step-brother and canonically the favourite child

Hey, how the fuck do people who raid play Pokemon Go?

Like, I don't have friends or raid. I'm Switzerland, I catch a raid about once every four months, I'm just over with the shiny-hunting crowd, all huddled up with our virtual bug nets going...do you need *assistance*

We're worried about you, Seymour.

And I would honestly just be really interested in understanding this thing going on. It's gaming history!

So, let's make this simple. The math, as I understand it, is that a Remote Battle Pass is going to cost two dollars more, on average. The other issue is the restriction on daily raids, limiting them to five.

Please answer to the best of your feeling on the matter, and add in notes/reblogs what your position is. If people are leaving the game, I'm very interested in that, and I'm interested in the goodbyes. I think people who leave have the right to tell the story of why, and how, and what was before...I'm inclined that way, for some reason.
