#at the moment hoenn and paldea are the main regions she explores so if anyone else also has self-inserts there we can meet and that’d be fun

[void-kissed]

I THINK I MIGHT HAVE THE TEAMS

(No I still don’t have a name or design or much of a story for this self-insert. But, I have her Pokémon teams!)

Her original team of six from her first journey in Hoenn is:

Fiore, a Shiny male Blaziken (starter Pokémon)

Luma, a female Breloom

Mari, a Shiny female Azumarill

Aria, a female Altaria

Discord, a male Absol

Siren, a female Froslass

And then, her team of six while she is in Paldea is:

Mari, a Shiny female Azumarill (the same one as in Hoenn)

Lily, a female Lilligant

Topaz, a male Ampharos

Nemesis, a female Ceruledge

Snowball, a male Tera-Steel Glaceon

Alain, a male Tera-Ice Gallade

As can be seen from this, this new self-insert doesn’t stick to any particular nicknaming scheme across all of her Pokémon, unlike Adriana (who gives nicknames based on fitting words, like Soulfire for Chandelure) or Nova (whose nicknames come from sounds in the Pokémon’s name, like Chirithy from Cinccino). In fact, she kind of has a mix of both of those styles across the Pokémon she has.

She originally deliberated whether to bring as many of her Hoenn team as she could to Paldea, but eventually decided to only bring Mari and Aria, mainly for ease of traversing the region with their help (as she didn’t know they had such a good Flying Taxi system until she got there). Later on, she ended up trading Aria for the Glaceon she has since nicknamed Snowball.

I know I still don’t have much established for this self-insert, but I’m still having a lot of fun thinking about her and developing her more, so I hope it’s okay to have made this post!
