[reestallized]

Here's the thing. DeNA really made him look like a Genshin Impact character ☠️

Sygna Suit him found from the leaks

MY TOP 25 BEST POKEMON

by popular demand, in descending order.

25. Galvantula

she is so fluffy. they somehow made an electric spider one of the most cuddly pokemon designs of all time. WOULD get a plushie of her if i am being fully honest.

24. Scyther

he's just some guy who is also a cool looking bug who also has swords coming out of his fucking arms. a rare example of a gen 1 pokemon design that is 'extremely based' and not 'extremely boring'.

23. Roserade

Roselia in gen 3 was such a meh pokemon, so giving it this unexpectedly cool Tuxedo Mask evolution in gen 4 was awesome. I will be fully honest that my favorite version of Roserade is the shiny because it gets black and purple roses. cool as fuck

22. Scream Tail

'what if we made Jigglypuff so so so so so so scary and it wants to maim and eat you now'. say no more

21. Calyrex (Shadow Rider i guess)

as someone who skipped pokemon sword/shield entirely, this design is actually some of the coolest shit i've seen. weird looking deer knight riding on the back of a ghost horse? actually stupidly cool they were really cooking with this one.

20. Grovyle

Every PMD fan on the fucking planet knows why I put this rando middle evo Grass starter on my favorite pokemon list. And they also know that i am objectively correct for doing so. no further explanation is needed

19. Decidueye

listen this is a fucking Ghost Owl Archer, what a fucking idea, it's cool as shit and we love Decidueye in this household. the best grass starter in the game and it isn't even close. despite me putting one immediately before it on this list. no notes.

18. Gastrodon

i love you gastrodon i love you sea slugs i love you having 2 different non-shiny designs/color schemes, i love you weird squishy suctiony cry/sound effects. gastrodon is maybe my best friend possibly ever

17. Ampharos

listen even if lighthouses were not a special interest of mine i would still love the weird electric lighthouse sheep. look at this guy. truly one of THE pokemon designs ever.

16. Chandelure

love this fucking thing it looks like a kingdom hearts boss. also ghost/fire is objectively one of the coolest type combos ever (foreshadowing is a literary device in which--)

15. Hisuian Zoroark

this is a prime example of how the regional variants in modern pokemon can completely improve on the original. the original zoroark is a pretty generic edgy dog. this is a new and much more interesting take in general, it makes its once gimmicky Illusion ability much more sinister and tied to its backstory/lore. also such a great color scheme, i love the weird almost fungal looking growths on it?

14. Furret

furret my friend furret. he is a tube and also my friend.

13. Noivern

this is a vampire bat dragon, potentially the coolest thing to ever exist ever. you agree. also i like the color scheme, purple/green/red aren't usually things i would put together but it works very well here

12. Iron Valiant

there is a tumblr post that calls this thing "so nonbinary it kills you" (or something like that) and holy shit are they right. what a cool mix of gardevoir and gallade's designs. plus making it a robot knight. cool as fuck, definitely the best paradox pokemon. and again, it isn't even close lmao

11. Mawile

i remember being a little disturbed and/or weirded out by this thing when i played gen 3. over the years it has grown on me so much. what a weird fucking design. i too want a giant mouth horn growing out of my head. bonus points to mawile for also getting a sick mega evolution that i am pretty sure broke the metagame for a while. lol, lmao even.

10. Clodsire

holy fucking shit it's clodsire. fuck yes. FUCK YES FUCK YES FUCK YES what an incredible re-imagining of quagsire i love it so much

9. Froslass

imagine you're Glalie, the world's most generic and boring ice type of all time, evolved from Snorunt and already forgotten the moment you're introduced in gen 3. then gen 4 comes along and gives female Snorunts one of the coolest pokemon of all time as an evolution. truly THE most insane evolutionary glow up in the history of the franchise. anyway i love this thing, i love that she murders hikers and displays their corpses for people that's so cool i love you froslass congratulations on your transition

8. Hawlucha

LUCHADOR BIRD LUCHADOR BIRD LUCHADOR BIRD LUCHADOR BIRD LUCHADOR BIRD LUCHADOR BIRD LUCHADOR BIRD LUCHADOR BIRD LUCHADOR BIRD LUCHADOR BIRD LUCHADOR BIRD LUCHADOR BIRD LUCHADOR BIRD LUCHADOR BIRD LUCHADOR BIRD LUCHADOR BIRD LUCHADOR BIRD LUCHADOR BIRD LUCHADOR BIRD LUCHADOR BIRD LUCHADOR BIRD LUCHADOR BIRD LUCHADOR BIRD LUCHADOR BIRD LUCHADOR BIRD LUCHADOR BIRD LUCHADOR BIRD LUCHADOR BIRD

7. Espeon

definitely my favorite eeveelution, i love its simple design, the gem really ties it together. this is really one of those pokemon that feels like it'll be on your team for life. i will not elaborate on this

6. Bewear

i fucking LOVE this thing it makes me so fucking uncomfortable to look at. it has the best lore of any pokemon ever: it hugs people to death. god what a cool pokemon if it shattered my spine i would probably just say 'ok'

5. Floette

THIS IS MY WHITE WHALE, DUDE. I WILL NEVER BE OVER THE SUPER POWERED X/Y MAIN STORY VERSION OF THIS THING BEING CODED INTO THE GAME AS AN EVENT POKEMON AND THEN GAMEFREAK NEVER RELEASED IT. despite my bitterness i love floette whenever i see it. one of the quiet joys of scarlet/violet was seeing this tiny thing chilling out in the wild. to me its face is like The representation of happiness. i have no idea why i love it so much but i'm just happy whenever i see it

4. Suicune

when i was little i was obsessed with this thing. i remember playing pokemon silver and being captivated by it. then i was THRILLED that of all pokemon they could pick they made it the mascot for crystal. when i went on road trips as a kid i would imagine this thing running alongside the car and had all sorts of mental AMVs with it. now that i am an adult and have had time to reflect on suicune, however, i have come to realize something: suicune is actually the coolest fucking thing ever and i was so fucking right all along about this

3. Hisuian Typhlosion

i loved typhlosion as a kid, and most of my attachment to the original one is probably nostalgia related. however, like hisuian zoroark, this is one of those designs that just genuinely improves on the original in every way. i have NO idea why they chose to glam up typhlosion so much in legends arceus but i am so glad they did. adding Ghost typing is such a strange concept on paper but they executed it SO well. i love its dopey little look. what a gem of a design to find so recently in pokemon's lifespan.

2. Alolan Raichu

the original Raichu has always lived in Pikachu's shadow-- it has a cool enough design, but no one is ever going to pay attention to it when it's prevo is literally the world famous series mascot. so i am THRILLED with what a great design Alolan Raichu has. it's so fucking cute, it looks unique while still being obviously tied to the original. i love that it looks like a pancake. i love adding Psychic type to it -- like with Hisuian Typhlosion, an odd idea in concept that works perfectly. i love that it surfs on its adorable, giant tail. GOD i love alolan raichu it is such a good pokemon

Flygon

i love flygon, it's a sand dragonfly that evolves from the world's most adorable antlion. this is an instant pick for my team in every game it's in. i love its dragonfly eyes doubling as sand goggles. flygon is so cool you can make the argument for Dragon/Ground/Bug triple typing, but Gamefreak are fucking cowards and will never do that. it is because they are afraid of what flygon would do with this power. YAY FLYGON

My Poke-Hybrids

Thanks to two specific users on here. (MewtwoandMe and TC96.) I have been inspired to share some of my pokemon fusions (And of course my mewtwo babies. Before I show them though I want to show a couple others. (NOTE: For two of my Mewtwo babies, I will be using Mewtwoandme's lineart. I am keeping them because they're my favorites) Let's start with a cute little baby between Joltik x Eevee. I was gonna joke and call him Teevee and may still do it but here, share in the cuteness:

Yes he is a tiny fluff of electric mischief. Art and design we're done by poropants on DeviantArt. Next we have Jericho, my Hisuian Growlithe/Cosmog fusion. I am in love with his design, the artist did amazing on his design and I have loved him ever since:

He was drawn and designed by seffiron on DeviantART. Now I'm going to share some Mewtwo babies. First we have Rosie (This was not Hazbin intended, I had her named before I knew who Rosie was but still lol)

She is an albino bean, and is a bit weaker then most mewtwos but she's a sweetie who loves just about anyone. Next we have our adorable dark little Marble, Obsidian:

He is by far one of my favorites and I absolutely love how she looks. I am keeping her. Next we have Pai and Mel

HaxorusRose is the artist who drew and designed Pai (The Mewtwo, short for piebald but spelled with an ai ) and Mel (Short for Melanistic) was designed by 5TARF0X on DeviantART. If you want an idea of what the two sound like, think of Garnet from SU (Pai) and Ruby Rose from RWBY (Mel) and yes they share a similar personality to them too. I ask if you want to reblog, you may but please don't repost.

Humans | Lowblood Trolls | Midblood Trolls | Highblood Trolls | Cherubs

Happy belated 4/13 everybody!

So it’s clearly no secret that Homestuck and Pokemon are two of my favorite fandoms. This of course means I had to combine them somehow, and the best way to do that was to turn the Homestuck kids into Pokemon trainers, right?

Originally, I was gonna go the lazy route and do the Pokemon Team Planner to make up their (and the Trolls’ and Cherubs’) teams, and I’m still going to do that later, but the problem is I can’t do that until the Gen 9 dex is added to Pokemon HOME.

So instead, I just drew the Beta and Alpha Kids with what I personally think their signature Pokemon would be!

For an explanation:

John Egbert: John’s ace is Quagsire, also known as Casey! This should have obvious reasons behind it lol. He also has a Mimikyu, to represent the stuffed bunny from Con Air. I like to think John found that Mimikyu and mistook it for a ratty old Pikachu doll, only for Rose to reveal to him what it really is like a week or so later.

Rose Lalonde: Rose of course needed a Psychic-type cat and I could think of no better Pokemon to fit that description than Meowstic (Espeon could also count, but we don’t know for sure if it’s really a cat). Since the cat is obviously supposed to be Jaspers, I used the male Meowstic. He communicates with Rose telepathically sometimes, and once shared a secret with her that she never decoded until years later.

Dave Strider: Now many of you probably expected him to have Corviknight, and I’m sure he has one on his team, but I think Archeops works better as his ace, and no not just because it’s my personal favorite Pokemon. Archeops not only works for Dave’s bird motif, but it also fits with his love of preserved dead things and paleontology. He probably got it as a Plume Fossil that he added to his collection and then Jade was like “You should try getting it revived” and Dave was like “You can revive them!?!?”

Jade Harley: Jade was actually surprisingly tough to pick a Pokemon for, since there are so many dog Pokemon out there who could play Becquerel’s part. I decided on Houndstone -- it’s “the most loyal of dog Pokemon” for starters, it’s white and it has access to Phantom Force so it can teleport. Also it has no eyes. Like in canon, Bec used to belong to Jade’s Grandpa, but in this AU, I like to think Bec is the ghost of Halley, Grandpa Harley’s old dog.

Jane Crocker: Jane was trickier, as she doesn’t technically have an animal motif like the others, but I ultimately decided on Stoutland, because it both fits with her love of detectives and has an absolutely fantastic mustache! Of course Jane would like this one XD Being the most normal of the Alphas, Jane most likely got Stoutland as a gift from her Dad.

Roxy Lalonde: Roxy ran into the same problem as Jade in that there were so many cat Pokemon to choose from. Ultimately, I went with Sneasler (and yes, Sneasler is a cat) because it fits with Roxy’s Fistkind strife specibus and honestly I just like the vibes these two have together. Two sassy queens XD If you’re wondering how Roxy got a Hisuian Sneasel, I like to think she appearified her by accident and decided to keep her. Also they’re both trans. Deal with it.

Dirk Strider: Dirk got Ceruledge because it’s one of the few Pokemon that’s explicitly a swordsman, but more importantly, it also very clearly looks like Derse. I imagine that Dirk’s Bro left him a Charcadet with the appropriate armor to evolve it into a Ceruledge, and the two often spar with each other.

Jake English: Contrasting with Dirk, Jake gets an Armarouge. Whereas Dirk has a sword-wielding Pokemon resembling Derse, Jake gets a cannon-wielding Pokemon resembling Prospit! It fit so perfectly, honestly. I think that Jake would’ve found his Charcadet while exploring his island and eventually dug up some armor for it in an ancient ruin of some sort.

I would’ve done the Trolls, Cherubs and maybe even some of the Carapacians too, but this was exhausting enough to work on so maybe later. I still definitely wanna do those Team Planner things though, so I’ll try to get around to that when the site makes the right updates!

EDIT: Fixed a portion of Jane’s Stoutland that I forgot to color.

[thescarletarceus]

sorry for the continuous volo posting it's never gonna stop I miss him he was awesome

okay so I brainstormed up some ideas for if he's in the indigo disk dlc.... it's a LOT so it's gonna be under read more !! :]

okay so firstly. His disguise name. I haven't like chosen one I super duper like but I found a cool one !!

Dolion, which means deceitful, treacherous, and crafty!! One of the things it translates to is "to lie" so I think it'd fit a lot for him...

He'd be an explorer, maybe archeologist ?? which would account for the fact he has "weird pokemon"

His first team would be:

Sigilyph

Galarian Yamask

Spiritomb

[... I don't remember if these pokemon would be in the dlc so if they aren't I WILL make adjustments I'm just assuming they will be. Also lvls/movesets will depend on the lvls in the dlc too]

[just imagine he has like. Ancient-seeming, weirdo pokemon y'know??????]

Second battle would be:

Sigilyph

Runerigus

Spiritomb

Then later on, when he reveals who he is/you learn who he is his team is a little more similar to his old team!

He got access to terastylization somehow, he wanted it and got it -- maybe he stole it from someone??? maybe YOU

Final battle:

Togekiss (his signature Pokémon) [tera flying?]

Garchomp [tera fairy maybe, fuck you up lol]

Hisuian Arcanine

Spiritomb

Milotic

[Either Roserade, Lucario, Hisuian Braviary, maybe normal Braviary, or Metagross as a final choice]

Could substitute Spiritomb for Flutter Mane/Iron Jugulis depending on game

Also maybe it could have it so if you have Hisuian Pokemon on your team [example, my H.Zoroark that beat his ass in Legends lmfao] he has a special reaction !! that would be cool!!!

like... "You... You remind me of someone."

Also his theme IS playing in the background and there will be more Legends Arceus music and jingles because that's an awesome way to give all the players a heart attack /silly

So like what he's wearing...

So most of the game when he's disguised he has this cool like... Archeology outfit, and his main motive for being there is "exploring the habitat" and stuff because it's all man-made and there's cool pokemon

He's hiding either his hair or his entire face maybe he has a mask idk but he is like genuinely disguising himself

Near the end when he reveals himself/you figure him out he unhides his face/hair and he looks so fucked up he probably has scars and his hair is like still dyed in the back and kinda everywhere he looks cool

yeah those r my ideas I'm so normal abt volo

[pastelchaos12]

Silly little role swap au for Legends Arceus that has been living in my head rent free.

Volo and Cogita take Rei and Akari's role in this AU.

More specifically, Volo is the main protagonist while Cogita is the one that helps him when he first falls to Hisui.

To make things easier, the present is the same as in the main games; Cynthia is still Champion, Cyrus is still the leader of team galactic, ect...

Also they are both 15.

In this AU Volo is Cynthia's Nephew or something. Also when he falls his Togepi comes with him, I will never separate them.

Adaman and Irida are obviously Leaders of different clans.

Irida is more stern and experienced as a leader while Adaman is still getting the hang of such a responsibility of being a clan leader.

Adaman's hair is naturally brunette so Perin will either have brown hair or she just dyed it blue.

Rei takes the role of the totally normal merchant lmao.

His hair is longer since I thought it looked nicer and he is an adult in this AU (he's like 25).

The scar on his face was caused by a wild Hisuian Sneasle when he was young and is slightly afraid of them.

Also yes I gave him a Giratina inspired scarf because it looked cool.

Akari takes Cogita's role (and I redesigned Enamorus because she was kinda ugly)

No one knows how old she is and she finds it funny when people try to guess her age.

Finally Emmet takes Ingo's role of being thrown into Hisui for no reason.

While I did draw him with a Porygon 2 I think he could have an Electivire as his ace (He can still have Porygon 2, just not as his ace)

Also he is Electrodes warden (all the wardens swap clans and nobles to look after)

Melli still tries to stop Volo from quelling its frenzy because he fears that doing so would anger almighty sinnoh. That and because he's a petty little prick.

I have so many ideas for this AU so I hope I can draw more for it. And update designs too lol.

[cheemken]

Another one of the Pearl clan members Drayton was friends with was the very own muppet man himself, Ingo! Ingo had found him shortly after his zoroark parents were killed and since Ingo didn’t believe in the stigma against hisuian zorua and zoroark he had took Drayton to Lady Sneasler’s den to be taken care of until he could take care of himself as Drayton was a really young zorua when his zoroark parents were killed, he would sometimes shift to be a Sneasel to try and playfully trick Lady Sneasler but she knew how many children she had, although as time went on she had started seeing Drayton as one of her own as well! (Drayton collecting parents like Pokemon fr lol)

To say Drayton was surprised to see ingo in Nimbasa City at Gear Station well he was visiting Lacey was an understatement! He really wants to talk to ingo about hisui, knowing there’s someone else who knows about ancient sinnoh makes him really excited! But….hes not sure if Ingo remembers hisui as he knows ingo had memory issues in hisui about where he came from and such so now Drayton is afraid that Ingo has forgotten about hisui, he hasn’t but Drayton doesn’t know that and Drayton is too worried to bring it up to ingo so….he just doesn’t…~Drayton angst anon💛

Ough,, Sneasler taking in Drayton and treating it like one of her kids🥹 that's so cute bcxmbx

But y'know abt Ingo too, if the word got out from Opelucid abt a strange white Zorua, dyou think Ingo would think it's specifically Drayton or just a random Hisuian Zorua?? Or maybe it really was just a normal Unovan Zorua, just w white fur, bc ofc, he really hasn't seen it yet

Since he got back, he's still trying to recover, Emmet and Elesa are taking care of him, but y'know imagine once he hears news abt the strange Zorua, he's there remembering this one Zorua that used to follow him and Sneasler around

But imagine tho when Drayton went to Nimbasa w the others to visit Lacey, they met the subway masters, and ofc for Ingo, looking at Drayton, there was just smth so so familiar abt him that he can't point out what, and that bothered him for the entire day

Once they got home, Emmet asked him what's been gnawing at him, and the he asks abt Drayton. Emmet said he's Drayden's grandson, Ingo just found out really, ofc, he wasn't updated w a lot of things now, he's still kinda recovering, taking things slow, but damn was he really gone that long that Drayden's son has a child now? Still, why did Drayton seem so familiar to him, he just met the boy, not officially really, as he and his friends already went off before Emmet could challenge them to a battle

[doubleddenden]

I got to play Indigo Disk a bit after some trials and tribulations.

MY opinions after a few hours: enjoying it but frustrating that things are still not fixed.

The good:

Environments look pretty great, especially indoor ones. Outside environments dip in quality but look much better than Paldea or Kitakami

Music is fun in all sorts of ways I can't spoil. We lost some dynamic music, but the substitute is worth it

The characters so far are a hoot and have some hilarious dialog and banter. I love how much of a piece of shit Drayton is, and new Kieran, imo, is way more entertaining than old uwu shy bean Kieran. He's ironically hilarious trying to act all badass while being like... 12 lol. I'm happy to see Carmine again too, she's toned down and a little more friendly but her fun bitchy side comes out sometimes and makes me smile.

The mid:

The difficulty is very refreshing. I was thinking that the pokeinfluencers were being led on because they were given awful teams, but the struggle is real. I fought 2 trainers with life orbs, a double intimidate strategy, helping hands, it's actually refreshingly difficult and kind of giving me Colosseum vibes.

Synchronization is also fun! I tested it out with my shiny Hisuian Samurott, and it's super neat. It's like a step beyond Let's Go mode imo, and it's fine until you have to stop because you- despite having a move with a type advantage- get folded after getting hit once by a Pokémon with a technical type advantage. But I did notice that Samurott swims really well, too, so its not just flying, and there seems to be no limit to how far you can go within the terrarium- although you can't go beyond it apparently to use it.

Maybe it's just me, but something about the new uniforms just aren't clicking. We get about 6 uniforms early on, which is refreshing, but for some reason it doesn't look as good in practice as it did in promotion. I can't really find anything I'm 100% happy with for my character despite knowing some of these designs have lots of merit.

Idk, I'm really missing being able to match tops and bottoms like the old days. Like if you gave me the track top with the winter pants, I'd be pretty stoked. Or maybe give me something actually like Drayden or Kieran's jackets. Idk man. It's not bad, I'll say that, but I'm not satisfied.

The bad:

Performance remains unchanged. I'm not joking when I say Game Freak really needs to give back that award for "excellence" they got a while back until they finish the damn game and stop publishing unfinished crap for full price and beyond, because this is beyond unacceptable, NOT excellent, and at this point and I'm tired of nothing being done about it. It is so immersion breaking when environments flicker and pop in and out during dialog and exploration, and the slow downs... ugh. Not to mention I had a game breaking glitch where I exited a store and couldn't move or open menus or anything- my first time encountering this particular glitch as far as I can recall, and I lost progress. Like come tf on Game Freak. You've had OVER A FUCKING GOD DAMN YEAR after launch to fix things. They really must have abandoned ship at this point, and honestly they should be ashamed that it's not optimized for the ONLY system the game and dlc are available for at the moment after all of this time.

World's Richest Franchise, TM

Minor nitpicks are the new hair and accessories which... suck ngl. Aside from an Electabuzz family themed backpack, nothing new here really sparks joy, especially the hair styles, which look boring, bland, bad, or not enough.

Overall:

I'm enjoying what I can, but the bad stuff still docks points, so 6/10 so far, which is just barely passing. May go higher, may go lower as I progress further.

You may think I'm harsh, but honestly it's deserved for a product that was paid for. You can enjoy a bad game, but the game seriously needs optimization on the fucking double.

Random Video Game Themed Question Prompts - Part 2

Part 2 of this little video game prompt thing! I thought this one would be easier because it's actually all Pokemon themed! But they asked a lot of questions I just don't know cause I haven't played all the games lol. But regardless, this was very fun! And I'm having a bit of Poke Mania after beating Platinum!

Thank you all for dealing with this and indulging me as I answer random questions for fun lol. If you wanna see some Pokemon opinions, go ahead and click the readmore :)

Part 1 Part 3 Part 4

1 - Favorite Pokemon

My favorite Pokemon for ages now is Charizard. I know it's a basic pick but think about for a bit and it makes total sense. Dragon. Fire. Salamander theme. Green elements. It's kind of tailor made for me. Not to mention Firered was my first game, and Charmander my first Pokemon! Also, I love him in Smash Bros. ALSO YEAH I LIKE POPULAR THINGS OKAY THAT'S WHY THEY'RE POPULAR-

2 - Favorite Game

Personally I am still really biased to Pokemon Firered. It's my first, so I have a lot of really good memories with it. I love the GBA, I love the sprites and music. And it's just a deeply important game to me. Though I do think SoulSilver is better in pretty much every way, I just have too much love for Firered. But if we're not counting spinoffs currently Emerald is my favorite!

3 - Favorite Spinoff

This one is easy, it's Pokemon Snap. Both games are seriously some of my favorite video games of all time. And it's the closest we'll ever get to a Pokemon Shmup/On-Rails Shooter. I also just love taking pictures in video games and I love seeing Pokemon in their natural environments, so it's pretty much tailor made for me. A close runner up would be Pokken but the only reason it's not number 1 is cause 3D Fighting Games are harder than 2D ones lol.

4 - Favorite Legendary

It's Mewtwo, let's not beat around the bush on this one, it's Mewtwo. He's one of my favorite characters ever, one of my favorite Smash Bros. characters, the star of one of my favorite movies, he's bad ass. I just really love Mewtwo. But some of my other favorites are Lugia, Groudon/Kyogre/Rayquaza, and Kyreum!

5 - Favorite Mega

I'm sorry all these answers are so predictable It's the Mega Charizards. With a preference for X, but they both RULE. I actually love a LOT of Mega Evolutions though. Some of my other favorites are Gengar, Aerodactyle, Gardevoir, Mawille, Aagron, Banette, Garchomp, Abomasnow, Steelix, Lopunny, and Audino!

As for Gigantimax... Eeeeeh I think these are kinda stupid looking for the most part, apologies. Alcremie kinda clears though in my opinion. Coalossal, Appletun, Durraludon, the Kanto starters are ok though.

6 - Favorite Regional Variant

Honestly, really looking at it. I'm not sure which is my definitive favorite but DAMN Galarian Linoone is just PERFECT. It's better than actual Linoone imo and I think I like it more than Obstagoon too honestly. I also like Alolan Golem, Galarian Corsola, Alolan Muk, Hisuian Zoroark and Hisuin Goodra. This is still one of the best concepts introduced into Pokemon, btw.

7 - Favorite Starter

It's Charmander. Sorry guys it's just the coolest and evolves into my favorite starter. But since that's such a predictable answer at this point I'll do you one better and list my favorite Starter from each region (I pick my favorites based on their final forms lol): Charmander, Totodile, Mudkip, Turtwig, Snivy?, Fennekin, Popplio, Grookey, Sprigatito.

Also I think Kanto, Jhoto, and Kalos have the strongest set of final stage starter Pokemon! Meganium, Typhlosion, and Feraligatr in particular are 3 of my all time favorites.

8 - Favorite Region

In terms of Pokedex? It's between Kanto, Jhoto, Unova, and maybe Kalos? In terms of games? Kanto, Jhoto, Hoenn? In terms of where I'd want to live? While I haven't played them all it's between Kanto and Hoenn I think.

9 - Favorite Pseudo Legendary

NOW THIS IS A TOUGH ONE! Lately the Pseudo Legendaries have genuinely become some of my favorite Pokemon from each region. Of course, right? They're all dragons lol. Goodra is probably the winner because I love slime and dragons. But some REALLY close runner ups are Tyranitar, Garchomp, and Dragapult.

While some are certainly stronger in terms of design and concept than others, I like them all though. The only one I'm eh on is Baxcalibur and even then I see the idea and I think some small design tweaks would really fix it for me.

Also random side note, but if they removed all the Pokemon currently in Smash and had to replace all of them with new ones. While I'd cry over Charizard and Mewtwo leaving... Just replace them all with all the Pseudo Legendaries. In fact, the Pseudo Legendary from each region would be a shoe in for each smash game if I was in charge!

10 - Favorite Mythrical

Darkrai. Next question.

Okay but seriously, I ADORE Darkrai. For a lot of similar reasons to Mewtwo. Bad ass design, cool concept, and their movie is one of my favorites. You guys know I love edgy badboys with hearts of gold and tragic backstories. Darkrai's movie is seriously one of my favorites and one of the only ones I've rewatched.

For runner ups? I didn't realize Genesect is Mythical? I LOVE Genesect. Also had a great movie. Also Meloetta is hot dude

11 - Favorite Rival

I've only played the first 4 games but personally I think I have to give it up to Blue. I think he's a lot cooler and more interesting than people remember. I feel like he gets remembered as a mean guy, but actually I feel like he's playfully a rival with you. Because he actually helps you a LOT during the game. But then as the game goes you progressively see him get more and more obsessed with power. And then finding out he's already the champion and having to tear him down is REALLY cool. I think it's one of the best parts of RBY.

Personally I haven't been super thrilled with the friendly rivals but I did think Wally was a neat idea where he starts out as a sick kid but genuinely gets pretty good. But it is messed up that you have to tear him down too lol. Just looking at the designs I like Bianca, N, Hubert, Shauna (though I remember her being annoying), Gladion, Marnie, and dude Klara is so fucking hot dude

12 - Favorite Professor

From the games I've played, Oak has kind of been the most interesting one no contest. But I do LOVE the designs of Juniper, Sonia, and Sada cause they're so hot dude

Although I kind of get the vibe that Kukui is gonna be my favorite by the time I get there.

13 - Favorite Elite 4 / Gym Leader / Champion

TOUGH QUESTION! I don't want this spoiled so I'm gonna only look at the ones I've beaten. Starting with Elite 4: It's probably Lance. He's really cool. Though Karen is absolutely up there. And I also like Lorelei, Phoebe, Drake, and Bertha. Also seeing Koga get upgraded between 2 games was cool.

Gym Leader: It's probably between Claire and Flannery? Dragon types obviously but also slightly older mean girls/tomboys. You know how it is. Erika is cute, Janine being Koga's daughter is cool, Giovanni was a cool concept, Whitney, Jasmine, Morty maybe, Roxanne, Norman is a great concept, Gardenia, Crasher Wake, Candice. Volkner has a cool design.

Champion: Again, probably Blue. I think it's the best built up for sure. And while seeing Lance get upgraded was cool, it's just Lance no offense. Steven could've been an ALL TIMER but Emerald kinda dropped the ball with that sadly. So, if not Blue. It's Cynthia. I'm sorry for being so thirsty on this post but she's SO hot and so cool and has such good taste in Pokemon.

14 - Favorite Villain Team

I think Team Rocket is neat but they're a little basic. But they're done pretty good in the first game and I think it's cool that they're a little more grounded than the rest. And Galactic is pretty crazy but I feel like the whole team isn't that cool as much as they're like, insane.

I probably have to go between Magma and Aqua. And while Aqua are pirates so objectively they're cooler. I think Magma's grunt designs are my personal favorite grunts so far. I genuinely want their evil hoodies with horns on them. And they love Groudon whose the coolest of the trio from Hoenn.

15 - Favorite Character

It's between Mewtwo and Darkrai. Again, they're both deeply important characters to me and both star in some of my favorite movies. But ultimately I do have to give it up to Mewtwo for being an edgy badboy made in a lab, his movie is also just really really good and I love him in Smash Bros and the Birth of Mewtwo and he's just so cool. I love Mewtwo. Darkrai runner-up

16 - Favorite Route/Town/City

I hate to say it but I don't really remember a lot of them off the top of my head. ATM I'm obsessed with Route 209's night theme from Platinum though lol. Going soley off of memory I would probably want to live in a place a little busy but not TOO crazy crowded. Maybe I'd like something like a beach town in Hoenn? Sunnyshore in Sinnoh was also a neat idea.

17 - Favorite Soundtrack

Ooof, tough question. I am certainly the most nostalgic for Firered personally. But I think from my playthroughs so far, a lot of Platinum songs really stuck out and stuck with me. 209, vs Galactic, the Celestic town guitar strumming theme lol. I also feel like I'm gonna REALLY like Black/White's ost cause from what little I played a lot of those songs stuck out to me. But yeah, I might have to give it up to FireRed personally. With my favorite song from it being Vs Champion Rival.

18 - Least Favorite Pokemon

SO... I hate to be a hater. But lately there have been some serious stinkers. However, I have 3 main "least favorite Pokemon". Number 1! Intelleon. Stupid design. Stupid motif. Never seen fanart that made it into a hot girl. How does it go from emo to 007? Huh? Wha? Stupid.

NUMBER 2! Calyrex. Stupid design. Looks stupid on the horses. Looks stupid off the horses. Drags down the cool horse designs. It's the best you could do for a KING pokemon? Seriously? I hate it.

NUMBER 3!! The worst of the worst: Quaquaval. No joke the only Pokemon to dethrone Intelleon to me. I HATE this Pokemon. I get the theme. I see the vision. But it's SO stupid looking. Again I don't want to be a hater, I know people like it. But it's design STINKS dude. I just hate it. Idk.

19 - Favorite Battle

My favorite battle COULD'VE been when you team up with Rayquaza to fight Groudon and Kyogre. But sadly that's only in my fanfic.

There's some really good ones. I love teaming up with Steven to fight the Magma admins. I liked fighting Giratina a lot, I thought that was cool and a nice surprise. I liked having Wally come back suddenly and be super strong at the end of victory road. But ultimately, again, I think I have to give it up to the RB Champion Blue fight. I know I keep saying it but it's so good and so well built up in my opinion. And unlike the friendly rivals, while I think Blue is friendlier than people believe. Watching him become more power hungry makes it feel good and like you have to cut him down when he starts getting out of line. Idk.

As for the Anime? I really like when Mewtwo fights Genesect and only beats him by giving him the overview effect lol. There's a lot of really good ones in the anime if I sat down and thought about it though.

20 - Favorite Type

It's Dragon Type, hands down. Dragons are cool, I love a lot of dragon types, and I LOVE the idea that ANYTHING can be a dragon, even a tree. It matches my love and philosophy of dragons a lot.

Outside of the obvious dragon pick. I like a lot of Fire types, Electric is one of my favorite powers but I'm not super married to a lot of Electric types, I'm always shocked by how many Water types I'm OBSESSED with considering I'm not crazy about Water powers. Ground, Poison, Dark, Bug, there's a lot of good types lol.

21 - Favorite Move

This is really tough. I love a lot of the big HM moves that make my runs super easy. Fly, Surf, Waterfall, ect ect. I love stuff like the elemental punches conceptually. I also like a lot of the dragon moves like Dragon Claw / Draco Meteor conceptually. But I think my all timer is Blast Burn! Again... Charizard lol. I had it on my Charizard in FireRed as a kid.

22 - Favorite Ability

I'm gonna be real with you... I don't know about any of those dang "abilities". But I do always like ones that up the type of the Pokemon. And I'm sure there's some really unique ones if I ever felt like reading through them all. Maybe I'll come back and update this one later. For now, let's go with Dragon's Maw cause it's a dragon theme.

23 - Favorite Item

The only items I really focus on are the held items. I really like, similar to abilities, ones that make certain type moves stronger. I use those a LOT during my playthroughs. I also pretty consistently get Quick Claw and make use of that, I think conceptually that and Dragon Claw are cool. I think King's rock conceptually is cool. As for Pokeballs I thin Ultraball looks cool, Net Ball, Heavy Ball, Dusk Ball... I never use them but they look cool lol. For battle items... uuuuuuh... Max Revive... idk.

24 - Favorite Z-Move / Max Move

I haven't gotten to Sun/Moon yet so idk what these even look like. I watched them all before but fuck me if I can remember them lmao. Just from skimming through: Splintered Stormshards, Pulverizing Pancake, Genesis Supernova, Bloom Doom (reminds me of The End FF8), Savage Spinout, Neverending Nightmare, Devastating Drake, Corkscrew Crash, Black Hole Eclipse, Tectonic Rage are all cool...

I actually think Tectonic Rage might be the best cause I was NOT expecting that shit lmao. Maybe that and Black Hole Eclipse!

25 - Favorite Shiny

Another good question! Off the top of my head I'd probably have to give it up to Charizard, cause edgy black Charizard is just SOOOO bad ass, but I can take a look through the Shiny Dex real quick and pick some other favorites: Nidoking, Golbat, Venomoth, Muk, Kingler, Weezing, Dragonite, Mewtwo, Mew, Yanma, Umbreon, Shuckle, Heracross, Tyranitar, Sceptile, Swampert, Gardevoir, Altaria, Relicanth, Metagross, Rayquaza, Lopunny, Bronzong, Garchomp, Giratina, Gigalith, Crustle, Haxorus, Druddigon, Braviary, Mega Gengar, Tyrantrum, Salazzle, Pyukumuku, Naganandel, Hisuian Sneasel, Hisuian Zoroark, Appletun, Veluza, Sandy Shocks, Iron Thorns, Hydrapple

That's a lot and I still think I missed some lol. But some of these I'd never seen before and actually gasped when I realized how good their shinies are. Like Haxorus, Salazzle, and Appletun whose shiny I now PREFER over the regular one lol

[quillheel]

ALIAS / NAME: Captain! I used to be called Honey, Lovely, and Nyx in the past, though that was LONG before Tumblr. Twas my amino days, baby. ( I also semi-recently tried out 'King' but the vibes don't quite fit yknow! prefer the vibe of that as a term of referral - ex: my liege - rather than a name weirdly enough BHGKTRB )

BIRTHDAY: july 7th!

ZODIAC: cancer! i forgot my exact stuff, like rising sign or the like, but i do know that! i got into zodiacs when i was like 13 i think so I know at least MY sign by heart lol

HEIGHT: 5'6! something like that, I think :] which is also 167 centimeters

HOBBIES: drawing, writing ( I have an ao3 I've been neglecting for so long ), dungeons & dragons / general ttrpgs which take up SO much of my week <3, video games, content analysis ( kinda? ), baking, penpal, learning ukulele, learning to sew, learning crochet!

FAV. COLOR: im terrible when it comes to this question because i love a lot of very specific colors because artist brain BUT... If I had to pick one. Probably a red-y brown-y color. I REALLY like warm and neutral colors ( though Quillheel's pallet probably wouldn't invoke that thought ) though i also like a lot of neutral and cooler colors. you can basically reference a rainbow for my preferred colors but even with blue at the bottom ( I'm a big purple-enjoyer ) i still enjoy what good usage of it can do <3

FAV. BOOK: the long walk by stephen king, inkheart by cornelia funke, or frankenstein by mary shelley <3 love different aspects of all of them, though inkheart was a big part of my childhood so i'm biased BHHGTR

LAST SONG: be nice to me by the front bottoms :] i've been listening to a lot of Hozier lately though

LAST MOVIE / SHOW: UHHH wolfwalkers! VERY good i really liked it <3 i wanna rewatch song of the sea eventually, too! that ones also a favorite. the last show would probably be season 3 of infinity train ( I still resist the temptation to add Simon sometimes. he is such a terrible yet interesting little man ) or finally finishing watching hisuian snow :]

RECENT READ: if fanfiction doesnt count ( if it Does then wander boy by poptod, which is surprising its not one of the HUGE amounts of disco elysium fanfiction i've been chewing on lately ) then probably i think frankenstein by mary shelley, which i picked up and began reading but didn't finish :( still the most recent though! I wanna actually finish that + reread the long walk + read a bunch of other books, like the song of achilles by madeline miller, circe by madeline miller, orange world and other stories by karen russle, memorial: a version of homers illiad by alice oswald, the haunting of hill house by shirley jackson, good omens by neil gaiman and terry pratchett, the city & the city by china mieville, etc etc etc! ( if you guys have any suggestions actually, feel free to send em my way! )

INSPIRATION: horror! especially slashers, psychological horror, and 'bloodbath' horror ( selectively! carrie's got the vibes, saw does NOT ), psychological writing in general, a bunch of the books i have or plan on reading, mythology & legends, fanfiction and composition, music ( especially the weakerthans, the narcissist cookbook, hozier, etc ), poetry, and just!! learning methods of how things Generally are made, ig! how people paint, how people make clothes and make fabric, how people grow plants. i take a lot of inspiration from unexpected places, but a lot of those places are the act of creation in of itself. my writing might only be writing, but i try to embody a sense of color to it, of an artstyle you can almost taste, yknow? the composition in shows where blues look almost green and its like the world is basked in paint and there's just a feeling, indescribable, contextual but potent in of itself, the feeling of small moments everywhere, all at once, all the time. THAT SOUNDS REALLY PRETENTIOUS BUT LIKE... its true, yknow!! i like to embody a feeling in my writing, and i go to a lot of places to find it.

STORY BEHIND URL: once, a long time ago, my oc multimuse @cassiopiia was named orphic-ruin, and quillheel came second in my blogs list. i wanted them to match! so i thought of storytelling, which went to writing, then to pens, then to quills! and the 'heel' part comes from achilles heel, or the achilles tendon! as well as having ties to hermes' winged feet. in a way, its kinda saying 'vulnerable storyteller' or 'half-divine legend' or even kinda like a title or epithet vibe wise like you might find on a mythological figure ( ex: quill-heeled ) or something like that, which i think still fits the vibe p well to this day! if i did change the URL, idk what I'd make it now! i might eventually, but yeah!

[nemesis-is-my-middle-name]

Oh see, while I'm sure I'd feel rather hunted if I actually like, met a giant jackrabbit man who looked like That, when I saw your picture something about him triggered an instant cute aggression response hard. Which I'm not usually prone to, so that was an interesting experience lol. My second response was the same one I had the first time I saw the Hisuian Zoroark design, which was to vibrate out of my skin over how cool it looked followed immediately by the intense desire hug and pet it. Considering that the only reason I actually got pla was because I wanted a Zoroark, that's certainly saying something. I'm a big fan of emaciated-looking character designs, especially when it makes them look kinda haunted or feral, and you hit it spot on, perfect 10/10.

Oh good, I'm glad you don't mind! If I do end up posting some of them, I'll let you know (if you want me to) and link back to your drawing so that people know the credit for the fantastic character designs go to you!

That's true, the Galaxy Team and Ginko Guild would have the widest variety since they probably come from all over, though there are enough marshland and heat-adapted animals out there that the Diamond Clan probably is pretty diverse too. The Pearl Clan would definitely be the least diverse in general though, because there are only so many types of land animals that are able to live full time in a tundra. And I could see Ginter as a goat! Or like a donkey or malamute that hauls stuff around.

Though here's something I just thought of, would Sabi be considered unlucky to the Diamond Clan as an arctic animal? She's not really safe to stay in the mirelands, which might be part of why they made her a warden so early, so she can't ever come home for very long. And unlike in the Pearl Clan, the Diamond Clan probably would view that as a type of exile, because she doesn't have the option of spending time with the clan as a whole. Right now she still has her baby fluff so technically she could have had more time with them, but maybe when Braviary's old warden retired (or died), Adaman thought it best to just move Sabi into that position once it was clear that they got along, just so that she wouldn't have to actually be exiled when she got too old to safely stay. When they meet up they have to do it in the highlands where it's not too cold for Adaman and not too hot for Sabi. She herself doesn't actually mind, because she's young enough that she probably hasn't actually internalized their beliefs that much, but I bet it's hard being a kid without your family or friends to play with anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if she ended up going a little bit feral living out there with just herself and wild pokemon around for the most part, but if she really got hungry for people interaction she could always hang out with or prank people in the highlands, and with how young she is even the Pearl Clan might tolerate her being around more than they have any other Diamond Clan member in the past.

Oh, actually, maybe when Irida makes that first step by asking Adaman for help with Ingo, it opens him up to asking Irida for help with Sabi after he decides to make her a warden. But where Irida just wanted advice on how to keep Ingo, you know, alive longer, Adaman was asking if Irida could maybe look out for Sabi, at least somewhat, just so that a tiny child doesn't die out in the wastes because she didn't know how to find/cook food or take care of a wound like an adult would. Although, even if he didn't, I think that noble pokemon don't actually care about Clan lines, so if she did get hurt Braviary would probably just drop her off at the Pearl Clan settlement and demand she get treated, and like hell are they going to go against a noble's wishes, which is something I could see happening in canon. Lmao, that's a great point about Mai and Ingo though, I can see that exact interaction perfectly. She tried, not her fault if he doesn't want to listen.

Lol, Very Complicated is right! In OoP, Kamado was able to get to her in a moment of weakness, but you can tell throughout that Irida cares about Ingo and had in fact trusted him quite a lot, enough to vouch for him and confide in him about her role as a leader in any case. This is just taking that up a notch or two by mixing in the fear that comes from knowing there is a good chance her friend might die. That is an excellent plot device, plus it'd be very fitting considering that he saved Sneasler and now her domain is one of the only places he can actually safely be. He was, it'd look to them, clearly meant to be her warden with how neatly things had slotted together. I'm not sure if Irida would divulge how poorly Ingo was doing, but if the people of the Pearl Clan were prone to traveling around there'd surely be at least a few people who saw Ingo for themselves, especially if part of his role was helping them traverse safely through. So they'd know this nice, helpful, polite man (who, yes, is frankly very odd), the man who had saved their noble and was destined to serve her, was consistently looking worse and worse. Maybe they bring it up with Irida and she has to explain what she knows, and some of them start bringing things for him when they know they're headed his way, like food or mittens to replace his lost gloves or something. What he loses in a long term ability to survive in Hisui he makes up for by gaining a little bit of community.

hehehe that's so fun i love that, ty. i can for sure get the cute aggression response too. fucked up jackrabbit guy...

:0 yeah i'd love to see it if you end up posting it!! for sure!!

donkey is another option for ginter, yeah... or maybe an ox? something that's good for hauling and pulling large weights. very funny in comparison to his employee, a dove, the least draft animal to ever exist,

oof, you're right, sabi would probably have a pretty tough time in the mirelands as a penguin. she's definitely way more suited to the region where she's warden than the one where she was actually, like, born. i wonder if there's something where she's like, a child of the previous warden, and the Animal Roulette got confused about which region was "home" and went with an arctic animal because her parent spent so much time in the icelands. (...something something, au where braviary's former warden was sabi's mom and her father is gaeric, who hasn't told her or anyone else bc of clan tensions, but now she's taken the position so he has an excuse to keep an eye on her under the guise of assisting his fellow warden)

also the idea of her just wandering into the pearl settlement to hang out, aww. the other kids probably wouldn't think too much of it, depending on when they get taught about clan affiliations and all that (and besides, she's a warden, aren't the rules kind of different around there?) so they're happy to play games with her until braviary calls her back to go do warden stuff. that would have its own issues, though, if the diamond clan grows concerned that pearl might be manipulating their warden... teaching her about the False Sinnoh and trying to convince her to change allegiances, disrupting the balance throughout all hisui... (they're not doing any such thing, in fact the adults probably avoid discussing sinnoh with her as much as possible, but you know how people are)

i wonder if, if she's already hanging out with pearl enough, it might not go in the other order. like, it's adaman who first asks irida (or the pearl wardens or something) to keep an eye out for sabi, because it's really nonstandard to have a warden this young and yeah he's worried about her, ok? this concerns them too, anyway, since wardens are sort of both clans' business. and it's that shaky gesture of trust that prompts irida (because this is, strictly speaking, interfering in ingo's business and she isn't sure how he'll take it) to ask him about ingo, later.

and yeah of course it would look to them like ingo was like, sent to be sneasler's warden. though i wonder if, even if some of them saw him, they'd even notice how much he'd changed, considering they probably see him only infrequently and most of what they remember is "weird alarming rabbit thing" which is a description he just fits better than ever, lol. still, though, they'd probably pick it up via behavior if nothing else—that he constantly seems only half-present in conversation, etc—and do what you said re: trying to help them to the extent that they're able

Danny is a Hisuian Zoroark

Source: #crack

Y

DANNY PHANTOM POKÉMON AU

WHERE DANNY IS SECRETLY A HISUIAN ZOROARK

Because they’re half ghost-type, half normal-type!

A

Jazz found him one day

And was like

"is this a little brother?"

Y

Danny as a tiny zorua, staring at Jazz: ….sister acquired

It’s funnier if it isn’t even a Pokémon au Danny is just a Zoroark dumped into DP

Do all the Danny phantom ghosts qualify as Pokémon rules ghost-types?

Because a funny thing about Hisuian Zoroark is that it is completely immune to ghost-type attacks because it’s part normal type

It is also immune to normal and fighting type attacks

Vlad shoots ectoblasts at Danny and Danny doesn’t even try to dodge them because he’s completely immune

Someone tries to punch Danny and it just goes through him

Vlad thinks Danny is a halfa, which. To be fair. He is half ghost. He’s just not half human. He’s an illusion-making fox thing.

Bonus dc crossover: Damian brings home a small white fox that turns out to be 1. sentient and 2. a supernatural entity

Danny as a zorua is really funny because he is just a smol fox

A

Smol fox, big punch

Y

Danny is pretending that he is Just A Normal Fox Nothing To See Here because Damian is feeding him and leaves him unsupervised with his computer while he’s out vigilante-ing

MF

until he shape shifts into Damian/j

and Damian gaslights his father into thinking he has a twin(?)

Y

Jason, looking at Danny: something’s… off with you.

Danny who looks like this:

A

Danny: ✨ what could you possibly mean? ✨

Y

Danny sucking up to Alfred because he makes the food

On a darker note danny wouldn’t be able to eat ectoplasm contaminated stuff because of his ghost-type immunity (which is most of the food in the Fenton house) so when he gets a chance to eat anything that’s not nasty burger/whatever jazz can get to him you bet he’s taking it

Danny falls through the floor and into the batcave at one point

Bruce finds him asleep on the computer

A

Now I'm imagining him turning intangible while asleep and falling down, so he has literally no clue why Batman is waking him up

Y

Bruce for his part has no idea how Damian’s pet fox got into the batcave

Danny is throughly bamboozled especially when Batman (!?!?) picks him up and carries him until somehow they’re back in Wayne Manor

A

Now that they think he knows what's going on (he really, really doesn't), Damian gives his abnormally intelligent fox a comm and declares him to be moral support

Y

Danny, over the comm line: zor-zorua?

Damian: excellent. Carry on.

A

Jason and Bruce are about to get into a major argument again, so Oracle signals Danny and he makes cute fox noises to distract them

Damian scolds them for upsetting Danny

Y

“You made Danny cry.”

Danny, half asleep: makes a sad fox noise on cue

A

Damian: you should be ashamed of yourselves, Father, Todd

Damian: if you will not be professional in the field, perhaps Danny should join us instead

And so BatFox is born

Y

he’s got a tiny cape

Danny evolves into a Zoroark when Damian has a run-in with the Joker and then you just have this ghost fox monster beating the joker’s ass

A

Danny is very obviously Not A Fox now, but they all avoid talking about it or acknowledging it because they have no idea what to do about it

Y

Danny, who is now taller than Damian: shit I can’t sit on your lap anymore I’m bipedal

Damian: you can talk

Danny: fuck zor-zoroark

Danny is still Alfred’s favourite even though he’s too big to sit on the counters (doesn’t stop him from trying)

Jason, looking at Danny: I knew you weren’t a normal fox!

Danny, remembering his illusion powers: shifts into jason

I

can see danny shapeshifting into one of damian's other pets so they can both sit on his lap LOL

Y

Sometimes danny illusions himself back into Smol Zorua form

Maybe tim was out when Danny evolved and he comes back to the manor for dinner and there’s just this fox monster sitting at the table very carefully using a fork and knife

Tim: what

Dick: oh that’s just Danny

Tim: Danny was a quadruped two days ago

Danny finally uses his illusion human form one day and nobody notices him because he blends in with Bruce’s horde of children

They only notice because Danny (fox form) is missing

A

:dick_laugh: (note: custom emoji)

Y

Danny: so yeah I can walk through walls

Damian: Todd will never see us coming

A

Danny gradually becomes more of a brother than a pet

He teaches Damian how to prank and successfully learns to cook from Jason

Without blowing up the kitchen even once

Y

How does he end up with Damian anyway

I can’t see him leaving Jazz of his own free will

I feel like he lets himself be treated as a pet because it’s better than beings kicked back outside

Jazz, kicking down Wayne Manor’s door: Where Is My Brother

I

maybe he was stolen uou- lol

Y

Jazz came home one day with a little boy whose form seemed to flicker but her parents didn’t notice that part

They adopted him

Danny still had the portal accident but because he’s immune to ghost-type energy he was completely unaffected by it, it just startled him enough that he lost control of his illusion and fell out of the portal as a little fox

Danny is largely unbothered by his parent’s inventions since he’s got type immunity, it’s also hard to beat him up since he’s immune to most kind of physical attacks humans can perform

Maybe in this au dc is another dimension and he got punted their via the Ghost Zone? I don’t want to Emotionally Destroy the Boy via his family being dead/hunting him for being a ghost

Smol Fox Danny ends up in Gotham, lands right in Damian Wayne’s lap. Is instantly adopted.

Danny’s powers in this au:

-Intangibility (because he’s a ghost)

-His type immunities (Ghost, Fighting and Normal)

-A bunch of Pokémon attacks (mostly normal and ghost type attacks, though he also knows flamerthrower purely for arson purposes)

-Illusions that are almost like shapeshifting (he can also make himself invisible)

-Being fluffy

He’s not quite as OP as regular Danny but his type immunities mean that most attacks from both the DP and DC universes won’t touch him (For our purposes nearly all forms of physical fighting count as Normal or Fighting type)

ND

HUISIAN ZOURA IS DANNY !!!! WOKE!

Ae

he's a SHINY HISUIAN ZORUA

ND

INDEED

Tucker is Porygon Z

Sam is a Hisuian Weavile

@yaintbeet

[autumn-sweet-fae]

i wonder how Sneasler and Ingo (and Akari?) adjust to living in Nimbasa, which is right next to a desert and a big loud busy city, compared to the cool hisuian highlands. Ingo must be absolutely immobilized at his first heatwave. Brain cooked.

Would pump the AC up to freezing if it didn't increase their already high electric bill due to the joltiks siphoning.

Akari’s alola Vulpix and Froslass are the saviors of the first summer in Unova lol

Though, if you look at the map, while there is the great big desert to the immediate south of Nimbasa, it’s surrounded on all other sides by a great big forest and has plenty of rivers and water flowing through it.

And the anime provides a much more detailed look at Nimbasa as well regarding how big and flashy it really is.

So I would say that, for the most of the year, Nimbasa has pretty average weather for it’s seasons. But then every year there are always those two or three weeks at the height of summer that are just BRUTAL and everyone is harshly reminded that they live right next to a desert.

Also Nimbasa is confirmed to be the third most populated city in the pokemon world, so yeah, a huge change for them. It’s easier for Ingo of course, because he’s remembering so much with the more he sees and loves his bright weird home city. There are still moments where he gets confused and overwhelmed, but he always has someone, human or pokemon, by his side to help.

You would think Sneasler has the hardest time, but she honestly loves it here too. Yes there are humans everywhere, but there are also pokemon too. Due to her world wide fame and later position as gear stations official pokemon, she is widely respect and admired by the people instead of feared. And look at all these weird inhabited mountains she can climb!

Also? You know those stories of cats that have figured out public transit and will catch a ride to and from places? Lady Sneasler and plenty of her babies do that too. If she feels like exploring Unova she’ll ride the train to a new place, explore for a while, and then ride the train back home. So she’s not just living in Nimbasa all the time. The depot agents who see her get off or on at a stop always update Ingo on her whereabouts, so he always has an idea of where she’s wondered off to but he also trust her to get home safely.

Now Akari does have the hardest time adapting to living in a big bustling city. She’s never lived in anything like it before not even with what she can recall from her life prior to Hisui. She does love how beautiful it is, but the constant noise and people does become overwhelming at times. It’s so big to and she’s gotten lost exploring more then once. Emmet made sure to explain the Subway systems, both the region lines and the local city lines, so that Akari will always be able to find her way back home as long as she can get to a train. Knowing she can always find a way home really helped her, and there are days she joins Sneasler and her kids on their outings outisife the city to get a break from it all.

Cause that’s my favorite thing. They all live in Nimbasa, but through the power of trains they can travel all over the region whenever they need to get away from the city.

[theblackdragon-studios]

everyone but as pokemon 👀

I like this concept more than I probably should. X’D Get ready for a long post…

The Main Cast

We first have the protagonist herself. She appears to be a Shiny Zoroark…or a Shiny Hisuian Zoroark. This isn’t even her true form either…but she walks all three worlds by disguising herself as a human or a normal, living Zoroark. She can also “shapeshift” into other Pokémon and people too.

I chose Zoroark for Pendara because of the shape shifting (illusion trick), and because Hisuian Zoroark is a Ghost type which fits the Spirit dragon thing.

Megaera the Shiny Haxorus. Of the dragons, I think Haxorus fits her best, especially the Shiny.

Calixthzan the Charizard, but a descendant of the clone Charizard from the first Pokémon movie. Because of this he feels this need to prove he is a real Pokémon and just as strong as any other. He’s that kind of edgelord, yes.

Went with Charizard because I love Charizard, and the Fire lizard fit best. It was between this and Groudon, but I wasn’t making anyone a Legendary here.

Frjord the Alolan Ninetails, because he’s an Ice dragon but likes warm, sandy climates, and Alola is Hawaii.

Azure was difficult because there weren’t any blue snakes that look like him…so I went with Inteleon. I know Inteleon is meant to be a cool spy like a James Bond character…but he just looks sleepy to me. lol And Azure, like actual pythons, doesn’t do much. He’s seen as lazy, but he’s just not much for high energy activity.

The Mentors and Leader

Arkelm would be a Shiny Gyrados. One that has the ability to Mega Evolve. The reason for this, he used to live among humans and acted as a protector and provider for them (this is in the actual story too). Because of this, his desire to protect those that cannot protect themselves lead to the gift of access to this stone and power.

Went with Shiny Gyrados…because it’s a red noodle dragon. So is he.

Maziah the Noctowl, still an alchemist. I chose Noctowl because she’s an Owl dragon in the story now. I think I based her on the Great Horned Owl…or a similar one.

King Blackthorn is a Shiny Haxorus like his daughter, but I wasn’t going to draw another normal Haxorus. Blackthorn also has a Mega Stone, and this is what he looks like when using it. (Credit for the design goes to lordmacguffin on DeviantArt)

When Megaera takes his place, she will be given the Mega Stone. When this happens, she will put it on her wrist cuff.

Villain

I still don’t have an official name for this guy…but he’d be an Arbok because he’s a Cobra dragon in the story.

Nox

Last but not least, Nox. He would be a Shiny Garchomp (which is slightly closer to his usual color…) Why? Because he’s a semi-aquatic dragon in the story and has shark teeth. As in multiple rows of teeth. Also Garchomp is a pseudo-Legendary, so that fits him too.

The vast majority of these are Ingo-related and focus on disability but there's some Emmet stuff too! Enjoy.

Ingo got pretty beat up in Hisui. He ends up with life-long chronic pain from some of his injuries. In the scenario he stays in Hisui with Emmet, he's forced to retire early from active Warden duties because of them. In Unova, he goes through physical therapy. It doesn't fix all of his problems but he's able to keep working longer than he would in Hisui.

The most impactful injury is to his back. Shortly after arriving in Hisui, he has a nasty fall while avoiding an alpha pokemon. The Pearl Clan is honestly amazed that he isn't paralyzed as a result. It gives him lifelong pain and he starts slouching to try and compensate which offers temporary relief but makes everything worse in the long-run. He actually loses a bit of height due to the injury which is a nasty shock to Emmet who realizes he's looking down at his older twin for the first time in his life. It's not immediately noticeable unless him and Emmet are close to each other, though.

Ingo doesn't remember his second name - Nobori - which is extremely distressing for Emmet. He does remember Emmet's second name - Kudari - but not Emmet's official name.

The head injury that caused his amnesia also has some long-term effects. Most of them fade away after the first few years but when he first came into the pearl clan's care he would have episodes of disorientation and confusion. A few times he wandered off into the snow while calling for 'Kudari.' For the first few months they always have someone watching over him so he doesn't get lost or hurt. As his brain heals, he starts having better cognition. By the time he's Lady Sneasler's warden he's able to function well. The sensory problems - he almost completely loses his sense of smell and is even more sensitive to sights and sounds than before - stay for life. This is probably part of why he's able to tolerate being around a bunch of weasels all the time LOL

He tried dating a lot. He had a profound sense that something - someone - was missing and that he had to fill the void by his side. You'd be surprised how popular this stinky sad man was among the people of Hisui. Sadly, all the relationships ended in disaster either because Ingo was a little too odd to maintain a relationship with OR he was frustrated with their inability to be 'that person.' This contributed to his depression.

Emmet has severe survivor's guilt over the whole thing. Things were really bad for him in Unova but because Ingo has visible scars and he doesn't, he's convinced himself that Ingo had it worse. Ingo disagrees and tells Emmet that it doesn't help to compare their pains when they're so different. Emmet just looks at him like 🥺🥺🥺

The wormhole that took Ingo also dropped an ultra beast right into the station. Emmet was fighting the Ultra Beast to protect passengers and sometimes he regrets choosing to protect them instead of Ingo. He didn't know that he was in danger - but he should have, right?

Like with the other fallers Ultra Beasts are attracted to Ingo because he gives off the same vibes as a wormhole. He's not allowed to stay in the villages for long because of this and spends most of his time in the wilderness with Lady Sneasler. One of his unofficial duties in Hisui is finding ultra beasts and chasing them out.

Emmet fucking hates Ultra Beasts. He's aware that it's not really fair and they don't exactly have control over it but he absolutely blames them for his brother going missing. That they still attack Ingo after the twins are reunited only fuels his hate. He doesn't like Ingo going out alone because he worries that one will pop up and attack Ingo - or even worse, steal him through another wormhole.

Ingo's hisuian pokemon are very protective of him. Machamp offers to carry him a lot on bad days and makes sad faces at him when he refuses. Let Machamp carry you, Ingo! Lady Sneasler just picks him up whether he lets her or not.

Ingo gained a lot of muscle in Hisui but also lost a lot of body fat. He's muscled in a very wiry way. Meanwhile Emmet's feelings of guilt caused him to lose a lot of weight.

Okay I need to share this lil AU I made before I just implode

Drayton is a hisuian zorua! He got isekai’d from hisui when Ingo/PLA protag managed to find a way back to present time! He landed in Unova along w/ Ingo but Drayton landed near opelucid city and was found by his soon to be parents! He was injured when they found him and he certainly didn’t trust them as ppl in hisui never treated him well (his zoroark parents were killed :( ) so they had a bit of trouble nursing him back to health until Drayden made a visit bc his son made a phone call about a weird zoura that was injured

Once Drayton saw Drayden he was literally just pikachu surprised face with stary eyes bc he thought Dreyden looked so cool!!!! So he begrudgingly allows his parents to nurse him back to health but he also sticks to Drayden like glue so he was nicknamed Drayton :)

Once he’s healed up he started causing mischief like zoura tend to do! Although he’s grown to like his parents along side Drayden now! One day he shifted to look like a human child similar to Drayden and Drayden’s son just to cause a bit of mischief and eventually he just starts spending a lot of time in his human form as he finds out being a human is fun!!! Like really fun!! Eventually one day his parents kinda just sit him down and ask him if he would like to be a human bc they notice he stays in that form a lot and become their son (they cannot have biological kids bc fertility issues so I imagine Iris is also adopted!) so he becomes their son and the nickname Drayton becomes his official name!!! Although he still shifts back to a zoura sometimes at home or in private!

I think iris was away training or something when Drayton first arrived and her parents just called her saying they adopted another kid but once she comes back home she’s told the full truth about her new baby bro and let me tell you, THEY HIT IT OFF INSTANTLY!!!!! Vibing together as dragon sibs!!!

Eventually Drayton becomes a trainer which is a little weird at first but all of his pkmn joined him willingly as they wanted to get stronger! Plus having a trainer who’s a Pokemon makes it easier for him to understand their needs and wants! He also enrolls into blueberry Academy for the fun of it as he wants to learn a lot about being human! He absolutely THRIVES in the polar biome as it reminds him of Alabaster Icelands!

No one but his family know he’s a zoura so making friends is a little challenging at first bc his first friend knew he was a zoura and now he’s keeping that part of himself hidden but eventually he meets the rest of the E4 and they all click quite well together!!!

Jeebus this ask is probably pretty long oops and I didn’t even talk about how’d Drayton would be when opelucid froze over, that’ll probably be its own ask lol~Drayton angst anon💛

You've heard of N is a Zoroark, now get ready for Drayton is a Zorua hahaha

That's interesting tho👀👀👀

Cute how he looks up to Drayden so much he wanted to look like a younger version of him hahaha

But also imagine tho if he and N interacts too, like N immediately knows Drayton is a Zorua, bc he thought it was his own Zorua. Imagine N and Iris arguing bc of that tho, N saying how hypocritical it is for Drayton, a Zorua, to disguise himself as a human, to "capture" his fellow pokemon. Ofc, Drayton was quite young during that, he was scared of N, but Iris was there defending him that N has a lot of nerve saying that, considering that he himself has captured pokemon too. N said those pokemon are his friends, Iris shot back how Drayton's pokemon are also his friends, he didn't capture them, they joined him willingly

It'd be cool to see if Iris and N have some sort of beef over that tho, bc ofc, N was kinda misguided at the start of the story, while Iris is rather protective of her brother. Even after things settled down and N tried to atone for his misdeeds, and while Drayton was starting to be comfortable w him, w N even leaving his own Zorua for Drayton, he and Iris still don't see eye to eye

But y'know as a mischievous Zorua, would he even be a slacker in this au? Imagine him turning to a Slakoth sometimes too that'd be cute hahah
