My Top Posts in 2022:

Second thing I'm loving about Arceus Legends: the move pool has been DECIMATED. Like almost literally decimated, shrunk down to a fraction of what we had in Gen 7, and half of SWSH's already shrunken move sets. Most pokemon learn less than a dozen moves on their own, and type coverage is difficult to get without going to the move tutor.

I know some people will question my sanity for being excited about this, but let me explain. Small move pools completely erase the meta. Each pokemon only having access to like a dozen moves means teams can now be more diverse. Nearly everyone's fav can suddenly become relevant again under conditions like this so long as they have decent stats. (That includes my own beloved eeveelutions). And small things like Buizel/Floatzel having access to Aqua Jet and Crunch vs Psyduck/Golduck learning psychic type moves becomes extremely important.

ALSO, you can swap out pokemon in the same turn now if you do it right, and that is AMAZING. Between these two things, pokemon battles feel more dynamic now than they have since I first started playing, and the experience is an extremely welcome breath of fresh air.

Postmodern liberalism subscribers are so afraid of Catholics who aren't ashamed of themselves that they banned a man who's only fault was being loudly Christian and making a couple shit posts. If anyone sees theironclad make a return with a new blog, let me know. I miss his salty Irish humour

I don't know if someone's said this already, but Shez looks like someone's early '00s anime oc. Crazy purple scene kid hair. Big doe eyes. Stacked. Dual wields swords, one of which looks like a weird combination of a saber and a katana. She absolutely fits the bill.

My #1 post of 2022

All the jokes about Battinson on tumblr belie the fact that there is a surprising amount of maturity to The Batman, making it arguably the best batman movie, and I would even say the best superhero movie to date.

Matt Reeves directs a movie that's a character drama masquerading as an action flick. Everyone knows (or should know by now) that Bruce Wayne is an orphan by now. His origin story has been adapted plenty of times by now. But no other work in recent memory has explored the idea of him still being traumatized by that into his adult years. Robert Pattinson does an amazing job playing a genuinely antisocial and clinically depressed superhero who fights crime with the vague hope of making a difference. When he wears the Bat suit, he feels like he has a reason for living. When he takes the suit off and becomes Bruce Wayne again, he might as well be dead. He hates himself, he hates his life, and he has no time for the family business empire that's beginning to crumble around him. As many people have commented, as Batman he is unequivocally badass. Possibly more badass than Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale's interpretation of the same role. But as Bruce Wayne he is a sad, strange little man who needs therapy and a hug. (Like, seriously, guy needs a hug. Selena Kyle touches his cheek and the man melts into it like it's the first friendly touch he's had in years.) But over the course of the movie we see him change. Bruce Wayne slowly becomes more than a daylight/public alter ego and becomes more important to him. He accepts that it's necessary for him to take responsibility and do more than fight crime. And it's this underlying aspect of the plot, the unmitigated despair gradually resolving into purpose and a sense of personal importance that really shapes The Batman and makes it genuinely better than all the takes that came before it.

So uh

A few weeks ago me and my friend made a pokemon au thing for Sv and uh

my friend suggested for Sv it could be 2 different routes (one route is the Svs the other route is the Eves)

Here's the gym leaders with the teams bc idk what else to post-

Some of these pokemon choices are a little weird mainly because we thought it'd be funny and some choices were made bc of other characters/past/detail about character/ect.

The (e) stands for evolution (like the battles in Sword and Shield so like they have full teams [which also is connected to "|" that separates the pokemon] so yeah-)

Yeah

Choice 1

The Ghost Gym Leader: Kuro

Team: Mimikyu and Froslass | Gendar, Chandelure, Dragapult and Hisuian Zoroark

Reasoning: Mimikyu bc I personally think they'd be good friends, Froslass bc my friend suggested it-, Gengar I forgot why-, Chandelure for... Obvious reasons.... (I'm sorry Kuro that was my fault-), Dragapult I don't remember-, and Hisuian Zoroark I also don't remember-

The Flying Gym Leader: Hugh

Team: Noibat(e) and Zubat(e) | Noctowl, Corviknight, Staraptor and Gyarados

Reasoning: both bats are obvious, Noctowl idk my friend said so-, the rest because I think it's funny to give him massive ass pokemon

The Dark Gym Leader: JeJe

Team: Seviper, Houndoom and Umbreon | Mighteyena, Midnight Lycanroc and Garchomp

reasoning: IK SEVIPER ISN'T DARK IT'S POISON BUT ME AND MY FRIEND SAID "no one's gonna know" (but now I'm posting this onto the internet for people to see so-) SO HUSH, Houndoom I don't remember-, Umbreon was bc of me-, and the rest were bc of my friend-

The Psychic Gym Leader: Freya

Team: Gardevoir, Espeon and Female Meowstic | Alakazam, Delphox and Persian

Reasoning: Gardevoir because I said so, Espeon bc purple and I wanted to give all of them Eeveelutions-, Meowstic just fit her look, Alakazam bc I don't remember-, Delphox is a witch(I'm pretty sure it is-), and Persian bc Persian is pretty

The Electric Gym Leader: Hyde

Team: Boltund, Jolteon, Luxray, and Raichu | Togedemaru and Manectric

reasoning: energetic/rude at first/emo/hj pokemon oh also Togedemaru is a hedgehog

The Fighting Gym Leader: Ildio

Team: Machomp, Hawlucha, Hitmonchan and Pangoro | Lucario and Blaziken

reasoning: they're buff/strong pokemon (I don't know why Hawlucha is there-)

The Fairy Gym Leader: Lily

Team: Sylveon, Florges, Hatterene and Alcremie | Gardevoir and Clefable

Reasoning: slyveon is pretty explainable (from what I said last time), and most of the pokemon are pretty or sweet (literally or like personality wise-)

The Grass Gym Leader: Tsubaki

Team: Sudowoodo, Venusaur, Phantump (e), Lilligant and Leafeon | Gourgeist

Reasoning: Sudowoodo because we thought it was fucking hilarious, Venusaur because flower, Phantump bc dead ghost child, Lilligant bc flower, Leafeon because Sakuya (just turn the leaf hair to the side and it Sakuya but as a Pokemon-) and Gourgeist because ghost plant and like it curses people (doesn't Tsubaki say he was gonna curse everyone and like does that spell thing with the lanterns-)

Choice 2

The Normal Gym Leader: Mahiru

Team: Buneary(e) and Skitty(e) | Kangskhan, Snorlax, Furret, and Furfrou

Reasoning: because my friend said so- , Kangskhan bc it's a mom, Snorlax bc Kuro, and the rest bc my friend said so-

The Water Gym Leader: Tetsu

Team: Feebas(e) and Wailmer(e) | Bibarel, Vaporeon, Floatzel and Gastradon (East)

Reasoning: he works at a hotsprings what do you expect?

The Ground Gym Leader: Mikuni

Team: Lycanroc, Diglett(e) and Stunfisk | Sandaconda, Sandslash and Marowak

Reasoning: I don't remember why tf we gave him ground

The Electric Gym Leader: Izuna

Team: Dedenne, Charjabug(e) and Manectric | Ampharos, Electivire, Rotom

Reasoning: she's an inventor Dedenne bc it's small and cute and could probably help her, Charjabug bc charge, Manectric bc Freya, and the other 2 I don't know-, and Rotom bc it posses stuff

The Fighting Gym Leader: Licht

Team: Lucario, Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan and Hitmontop | Primeape and Bewear

Reasoning: first 4 I don't remember know aside from Hitmonlee bc kicking, Primeape bc it's always angry (idk aside from that and I'm the one who added it-) and Bewear bc it's cute and deadly

The Fire Gym Leader: Niccolo

Team: Hisuian Arcanine, Ninetales, Rapidash and Talonflame | Emboar and Turtonator

Reasoning: I don't know why we gave him fire H Arcanine bc it's cool and fits Nicco's aesthetic (sorta-), Rapidash bc my friend suggested it-, Talonflame fits (sorta-), Emboar bc Ildio, and Turtonator because my friend suggested it again-

The Psychic Gym Leader: Misono

Team: Galarian Rapidash, Galarian Slowking, Male Indeedee and Female Indeedee | Reuniclus and Exeggutor

Reasoning: psychic just fits Galarian Rapidash looks regale (is that the right word?) and just fits, G Slowking also fit with the whole king and purple thing, both Indeedees bc Lily and he's rich- the last two was you guessed it.. My friend suggested it-

The Dark Gym Leader: Sakuya

ik he's not an eve but SHHHHH

Team: Midnight Lycanroc, Absol, Zoroark, Thievul and Weavile | Honchkrow

Reasoning: M Lycanroc bc Sakuya's emo/hj, Absol bc he told Misono about Tsubaki's plan (also just bc it fits-) , and the rest I honestly don't remember and my friend suggested it too-

Yeah

There's alot more characters added but I only finished typing out the gym leaders so there will probably be a part 2-

#servamp #servamp kuro #servamp hugh #servamp jeje #servamp freya #servamp hyde #servamp ildio #servamp lily #servamp tsubaki #servamp mahiru #servamp tetsu #servamp mikuni #servamp izuna #servamp licht #servamp niccolo #servamp misono #servamp sakuya

April Brain Rot #7

Prompts:

10. Caught

3. Surprise Hug

(Pokémon AU) Kalim Al Asim x Reader

Summery: It's almost time for your's and Kalim's one year anniversary and you're determined to get him that water type Pokémon he's been wanting for his team. Though, plans do change once in a while- even if they're in the form of saving a baby Oshawott from some crazy rapids.

TW: Fast moving water (?)

Word count: 1,375

A note from Fel: FUCKING- OK- THIS WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITES HANDS D O W N. KALIM IS BABY AND I'D KILL FOR JAMIL'S ARBOK- Please, I love Pokémon AUs so much oml Also my gf liked this story a lot so like- *AGGRESSIVE FIST PUMP* ANYWAY! Enjoy!

You had been searching for hours, the tall grass having slapped you in the face one too many times and your pokemon becoming tired from the amount of stubborn pokémon who had jumped out at you. You were hoping that you’d be able to find the perfect pokemon for Kalim- he had been chattering to you about getting a water type pokémon to add to his team, but so far he had no luck. So, with that thought in mind and the looming day of your first anniversary of dating him, you gathered up your wits and continued to push, feeding Sauce, your partner Appletun (Kalim had given him to you as an Applin when he had confessed to you), an Oran Berry as you trudged on. He trilled and rubbed his head against your cheek, resting in your arms.

“We’ll go a little further and then we’ll call it a day- ok, bud?” You laugh as he answers with a happy cry.

The stream you’re following flows in a strong current: branches and leaves rushing down the flow of water. You really hoped a Buizel would come appearing- it would be a good match for Kalim’s performances. At least you think. You’ve never been one to participate in performances, your dream being a famous battle trainer from a young age. It wasn’t until Kalim waltzed into your life that you began to really pay attention to the contests. He always had a way of making a contest something even grander than it already was-

A sharp cry pulls you from your musings and you look to the rushing river to see a small white head bobbing along in the water: an Oshawott.

You frantically look around while you begin running and reach into the pouch that rests on the side of your hip for your Golduck, Delta. You feel the three lines that you etched into her pokéball and throw it; she comes out with a cry, already running alongside you on all fours. “Delta! We have to save the baby!” You point to the crying Oshawott that keeps going beneath the waves. Delta nodded and dove into the water, her strong body cutting through the water easily.

You continue to run, jumping over rocks and pushing tall grass out of your way. You catch sight of a giant log acting as a bridge to the other bank of the stream up ahead and you dart towards it. You set down Sauce before you climb it, it lets out a strained groan as you make your way across it. You wave to Delta, the little Oshawott on her back. She coos at you and brings herself to a stop in the water despite the speed and strength of the current. She takes the baby otter pokémon off of her back and holds them up towards you in her palms. You reach your hands down and loop them around the baby, cradling it towards your chest as you pull out her pokéball and call her back.

The log cracks and begins to give way as you rush back to Sauce, his tiny cry of relief as you hop off the collapsing log. You look at it with wide eyes and back to the Appletun and let out a strained laugh. “That was close, huh?”

He gives you a disgruntled whine.

“Sorry, sorry, bad joke.” You say, looking down at the baby who shivers in your arms, his big, watery eyes staring up at you. “You ok little guy?” You run your finger over the top of his head and he coos and lean into your touch.

You smile, a sudden idea hitting you. “Hey, would you like to meet someone? When we get you cleaned up that is.”

They tilt their head, before he nuzzles into your chest.

You share a look with Sauce before nodding. “I guess that’s a yes.”

************************************************************************

Kalim had been waiting for you in the hotel you had rented, Jamil sitting in the corner petting his Arbok while he read one of the books you had recommended to him. “Do you think they’ll be back soon?” Kalim suddenly asked.

Jamil glances at him before shrugging. “I’m sure they’re fine.”

“I know but I miss them so much.”

“They’ve been gone for a little over an hour. Have patience, Kalim.”

The prince groans, squeezing his Spinda close to him. She chirps and pressed his face with her soft paws, pressing his cheeks together until his lips are puckered and he laughs. “I’m fine, Dizzy! I just miss my love is all.”

Kalim doesn’t notice the silent gag that Jamil does, hugging his Arbok when he catches him making the same face.

The door opens and you’re standing there with dirt on your cheeks and thin scratches littering your exposed skin. “I’m back!”

“(Y/N)!” Kalim cheers, placing Dizzy down and racing towards you.

“Hello, do you need any…” Jamil trails off seeing the towel swaddled… something in your arms (along with the plastic bag holding books). He catches Kalim by the back of the shirt, stopping him.

Kalim goes to ask him what’s wrong when he notices the towel as well. “What’s in it?” He asks.

“Well-” You let out a laugh as the Spinda hugs your leg, looking up at you with a bright smile and swirling eyes. You lean down, pushing the blanket into the crook of one arm, to pat her head before Sauce comes up and nuzzles up to her and she brings him into a hug. “He’s your early anniversary present.”

“He?” Kalim’s eyes begin to sparkle like rubies and Jamil steps closer to look as you tilt the towel towards them.

In the towel lays the baby Oshawott, light snores leaving him as his chest rises up and down. He digs further into the soft fabric, an unconscious sigh leaving him. It takes everything in Kalim not to squeal in delight at the sleeping baby. His hands itching to spoil him. “Where did you find him? He’s just as cute as when Tanzanite was a baby!”

Jamil scoffs. “No one’s as cute as Tanzanite-” he rubs the head of the Arbok who sniffs at the baby before nuzzling his head against the soft fur of the Oshawott’s head- “but he is a close second.”

Tanzanite releases a happy hiss.

“I found him when I was looking for a Floatzel for you.” You say, moving to place the plastic bag on the floor. “Me and Sauce heard him cry and saw him getting washed down the stream, so I sent out Delta to go get him. And, well, I couldn’t just leave the little guy. Also I couldn’t see a mama or anything while I was walking back, he was all alone.” You smile down at the baby as he stretches in your arms, slowly waking up to look at the faces peering at him. He sniffs at the Arbok who hovers in front of him, closing his hood slightly to make himself seem smaller (Jamil hoped the baby wouldn’t start crying, Tanzi always looked so sad when it happened and would hide in the back of the room to not upset them any more). Much to everyone’s delight, the baby cooed and patted his snout with his tiny paw, Tanzi hisses in delight and pressed closer to the happy otter. “I think he’ll be a good match, don’t you, Kali?”

Kalim nodded, jumping on the balls of his feet. “He’s perfect! I love him already!” He holds out his hand to the baby who immediately beams at him. You hand the baby over to Kalim who cradles him to his chest and presses a smooch onto his fuzzy head. He lets out a happy screech, patting at the prince’s chin. Kalim pulls you into a sudden hug with his other arm (that has you letting out a small yelp), the baby being squeezed between the two of you and he lets out happy clicks and snuggles against both of your bodies. “I love you!” Kalim says before he presses a kiss to your lips.

Jamil and Tanzi gag at the display. The trainer high fives Dizzy who copies them and Sauce shakes his head at the three.

Thank you for reading!

are there any other aquatic half-Pokémon other than crasher wake and Archie?

also, can you tell me more about crasher wake in this au?

Yes there is the sharpedo half pokemon his name is Gustav but everyone calls him Gus he's actually a close friend of Maxie

Gus has actually become close friends with Archie as Maxie is in Johto and is planning on surprising Maxie with the information

He loves sea shanties and prefers to stay in the ocean rather then land but he does have a working phone

Crasher Wake is the alpha Floatzel he helps teach the local children how to swim

He is stern as well but he is very kind hearted he is Barry's uncle and Master when it comes to training since his mom babies him and goes easy on him in training

Wake is very protective of Barry and of Lucas too but isn't close enough with Lucas to really help him

He is the one who keeps an eye on the kids

He's also older like 350 years old so he's getting up there but is still able to do his duties and is quite strong

i love rei. my shady lil blorbo!! and i love thinking about them in different situations lmao. every time i see/think of one of those aus where volo in present day offers to guide emmet + elesa to ingo while being Clearly up to no good, i just subconsciously replace him w rei, who is NOT as sinister and smug but would prolly come off as off in a different way. (picturing them having learned by the end of pla to read after the professor realizes they can't and teaches them, only to get back to present day, go to unova, and realize, hey... the written language in this region is different from hisui...!!) plus suffering from culture shock from being in a different, more urban region than sinnoh/hisui.

plus if they still have hunt, yomogi, and whoever's on their future team (hehe future when they are stuck in the past...), and then they get famous for being the hero of hisui + their pokemon teammates (tho the fame MIGHT be lessened in unova?), ppl might almost definitely side-eye rei in whatever new guise they've taken up (bc come on they ARE gonna learn at some point that they're in the form of lucas, sinnoh champ, or otherwise make the connection like 'i turned into this dude and then got roped into rescuing this whole other region - bc hisui is sinnoh but VERY DIFFERENT bc PAST - so i should prolly NOT be the dude when i get back to the future' right?) for having such a famous lineup w some hisuian variants. (maybe u will have hunt and everyone else stay in hisui while rei alone - plus prolly floatzel, until he is confirmed to not go to hisui and bother rei THEN I WILL KEEP THE HC OF HIM ALSO BEING TRANSPORTED TO THE PAST IN MY HEART - goes back to sinnoh... but i just want the friend group to stay together forever!! like those fics where lady sneasler goes back to unova w ingo lmao.)

anyway i'm having fun specifically thinking about how rei, wild pokemon who lives in sinnoh, a region NOT KNOWN FOR ITS TRAINS, is gonna react to the concept of the battle subway and unovan trains in general.

HIIII it's very late at night when I'm answering this but I just want to say. I had to work a 12 hour double shift today but I read this ask right at the beginning of my shift and it REALLY made my day. I only just got off of work but I've been thinking about this ask ALL day so thank you anon for making my day significantly better!!

and just aaaahhh I'm so happy that you're liking rei!! sorry if I don't have too much to add since I'm very tired right now but I just love hearing about ur thoughts and speculations and such c:

I def have SOME plans for how certain things work out (like rei's reading/writing skills, for one) but i love the idea of rei being like. ok yeah ive figure this reading thing out no problem. and then they get sent back and it turns out that they learned how to read the Pokemon equivalent of Latin or something. VERY good very funny love it

I'm also still toying around with some of the derails on rei being sent back to modern sinnoh, but I DO have a decent chuck of it already figured out. for now I'll refrain from going too much into my ideas in the chance that they change since. man. as of right now I'm almost at 100 pages in the document I'm writing history offers on and it's over 50k words and rei hasn't even done the kleavor fight yet. I've given up on believing that this is gonna end up almost absurdly long lol. but ANYWAYS once I get a LITTLE further in I might be persuaded to discuss late game stuff a bit more but I still LOVE hearing about other ppl's thoughts about what might happen!! like I am rotating everything u wrote in my mind like a microwave oven

and yeah. does rei even KNOW what a train is. now I have to think about whether rei would've ever been in a situation where a train would be relevant. and man it WOULD be really funny if rei had no clue what they were

#ask and ye shall receive #anonymous #howling #ditto rei au #I love getting asks like this so much it's unreal #like genuinely it makes me so happy to read and I'm just. aaaaaAAAAAAA

BNHA students in Pokémon

summary: Some BNHA students and their Pokemon team and status if they were in that world. (part one, i want to make a mini series out of this so it’s heavily self-indulgent)

warnings: none

style & genre: bulleted; au

notes: a self-indulgent thing for me b/c this au has to happen. Thank you for reading. also i am in the midst of writers block but the last requests will be out soon!

most of the bullets will be in relation to the main character izuku because why not

*teams inspired by this because i had trouble figuring out who would fit with who and honestly bakugo’s team looks like him aHA

Main Traveling Group:

Midoriya Izuku

Starting Aventure: bulbasaur, aipom

Completed Team: venusaur, lucario, ambipom, floatzel, butterfree, garchomp

I was gonna say he gives off main character vibes then I remembered he was actually a main character already good job ness

but yes izuku here is on his way to become a pokemon champion!

i’m thinking he’d be pretty well-rounded with his team but his starter is definitely a grass type

his pokemon are so concerned whenever they go check out some cave or ancient ruin

izuku’s like “let’s explore!”

and his pokemon look at each other and then at him like “but please don’t try to move and jump on stuff alone pLeAsE bE cAREFUL”

they have venusaur keep him in vines sometimes

literally everyone loves him (all the gym leaders, all the recovery girls, etc.)

he manages to have todoroki and shinsou as travel buddies like how

they’re all like “i didn’t start training to make friends” and boom they’re a close knit group

very very ambitious and headstrong in his goals

he did get noticed by the champion after all *cough* all might *cough*

Todoroki Shouto

Starting Adventure: eevee, eevee, milotic

Completed Team: glaceon, flareon, ninetails, alolan ninetails, milotic, volcarona

he’s izuku’s first travelling companion

his father wanted him to become the strongest trainer to carry on his family tradition but he just wanted to see the rest of the world, considering he’s been couped up training for most of his life

he was sent off on his own trainer journey and was unknowledgeable about a lot of real world things

when he met izuku, he was cold towards him but warmed up after seeing how dedicated and kind the other was to pokemon and people alike

“it’s your destiny, todoroki!” ahaha get it

like i said, everyone loves izuku even shouto

todo is cold to strangers but is kind to them after becoming friends

trainers like battling with him because he’s offers their pokemon the eXPENSIVE full restores after battle

and their pokemon swoon over how nice and pretty he is while he tends to their wounds

speaking of pokemon, his are hot and cold as expected

sometimes they clash but he’s always there to be the mediator

he’s unfamiliar with “common” things because he grew up in a closed off environment

likes travelling around, experiencing new things and meeting new people along the way

Shinsou Hitoshi

Starting Adventure: gengar, purrloin

Team: gengar, liepard, espeon, skitty, weaville, crobat, meinshao

the people around him, mainly his classmates, were afraid of him because of the pokemon he attracts

he also had gengar since he was young, the pokemon being a gift from his parents

every time he tries to make friends they run off because his pokemon’s looks make the other ppl scared

that’s why he now rejects anyone trying to get close to him because the last time it happened they just used him

he couldn’t reject izuku though aha so yeah he’s part of the group now

he is a pretty laidback trainer and is more focused on techniques rather than pure strength

mentor aizawa

took shinsou under his wing when he was young and shinsou always calls him for guidance or just for a chat

has a weakness for cat-like pokemon

the main reason he actually joined izuku’s group is because the green haired male saved a skitty

she’s is the newest addition to his team and he loves her aww

he’s the voice of reason for the group but sometimes he just holds back when he wants something interesting to start especially when bakugo challenges izuku or todoroki to a battle

Challengers & Rivals:

Bakugou Katsuki

Starting Adventure: cyndaquil

Completed Team: typhlosion, electrode, magmortor, arcanine, houndoom, primeape

all pokemon stories have rivals okay bakugou is pERFECT for this

he and izuku met when they were little and because he was more into battling and training, he got annoyed when izuku was recognized by the champion

all his pokemon are as fiery as he is aHA

they love training and can keep up with their trainer’s outbursts and all that we love supportive teammates

he scares every single person he goes up against EXCEPT for izuku & co.

todoroki 's unbothered, shinsou calls bluff on his intimidation, and izuku sees him as a role model as well as rival

gets really annoyed with the trio because he just can’t fULLY beat them

the win ratios are pretty even but this boy wants to win all of his battles with a large power gap because that’s how he rolls

he LOVES using power and intimidation when battling and it’s actually pretty cool to watch his matches

they always have some type of flare to them and never get boring

overall, he’s a strong and resilient trainer who worked hard to get to the top

Kirishima Ejirou

Position: Fighting-Type Gym Leader

Team: blaziken, infernape, hariyama, machamp, medicham, hitmonchan

i’ll just make all their ages ambiguious k thanks

i feel like he’d be a really good gym leader

he’s so uplifting and motivational, it doesn’t affect the self-esteem of anyone who loses to him because he’s there complimenting their strengths and giving them pointers on what they and their team can work better on

man i wish he was in game now he’d be my favorite

he kind of reminds me of island kahuna hala in a way

trains with bakugo a lot because, though the blond won’t admit it, he actually likes training with him kiribaku

when he meets the main group, they all lost their first battle with him because this guy just knows

he’s so in-tune with his pokemon, all that strength and in their bond is so strong

after giving them their fair share of praise and advice, their second battles were won and they received their fighting badges :)

Kaminari Denki

Position: that pikachu guy Electric-Type Gym Leader

Team: pikachu (ik ik but it fits ok), girafig, ampharos, plusle, minun

so hype much wow very exciting

every single battle he does is so flashy with all these effects and whatnot but it fits his aesthetic

think nimbasa city and the runway elesa has before she battles someone

that’s all him

now, his team isn’t really built on defense but they do have a lot of special power, mostly seen in their use of thunderbolt they all know how to use thunderbolt what the heck denki

at one point in his life he thought about owning a farm where pikachu could hang out

he just really likes pikachus and everywhere there’s one they follow him because he looks like them

he’s kind of more bark than bite and might accidentally electrocute himself during battle

concerned izuku when he walked right into a thunderbolt

todoroki was about to ask if he wanted a full restore before the boy realized that it was only for pokemon

he’s in it for the fun of the battle and doesn’t really care if he loses or not unless the trainers are all talk much like he is but ily denki

Iida Tenya

Positon: that trainer they meet on a mountain i’m sorry iida

Team: skamory, straptor, bisharp, gallade

he reminds me of all the trainers that stand there and are like “LeT’s BaTtLe” when you walk in their line of vision

much love iida but that’s who you remind me of haha

he’s the guy that goes by the rules ofc and is a v good sport after losing a battle

when he encounters the main group, he’s training with his pokemon

they were building up and reinforcing their speed and he saw this as a perfect opportunity to learn by battle new people

lost to all three of them

but as mentioned he’s a good sport and the four of them set up camp for the night on the mountain and talk about strtegies and the like

when they part ways he’s telling them that he’ll see them and battle them again

guy wasn’t kidding they fought him like fifteen times total during their journey

i chose his pokemon based on how they look in comparison to him and laughed when i realized there was gallade

because you know gallade’s arms are like blades it reminds me of how iida does that hand thing

it was funnier in my head

Uraraka Ochaco

Position: works at the Pokemon Center, training buddies with the main travelling group

Team: gardevoir, togekiss, musharna, clefairy, jigglypuff

she works at the pokemon center for recovery girl

pink is all i see and it fits her aesthetic really

that rhymed

anyways she is super super sweet and loves working at the center, all the people who come in enjoy seeing her

she actually sees the main trio a lot b/c they and their pokemon do a lot of stuff and end up injured

izuku went to the pokemon center five times in a day and his pokemon weren’t even hurt it was jUST hIM

after that she insisted on coming with them to get some experience outside of the building as well as make sure that they mostly izuku and their pokemon would be alright

half of her pokemon are mature and very, what’s the word, elegant (gardevoir and musharna) and the others are playful yet competitive (togekiss, jigglypuff, & clefairy)

her pokemon know the moves that have to do with teleportation and flying/floating and they enjoy using it even when their trainer is gets motion sickness easily

overall, she joins the group when she can/sees them and they are gratefull to hang out with her

-- more characters to be added soon! --

Hello! I am Marine. I consider myself to be a real life anime magical nb and I want nothing more than to spread positivity and happiness to the world! I love everyone except for those who would intentionally harm others! I have a bit of an obsession with sweets and candy, and I absolutely can't stand any kind of injustice. I also really like ttrpgs, tokusatsus, online roleplay, and I do art and collect dice. As a mahou, I consider it important to help anybody you can when you can.

(pt 2) MBTI is ENFJ, alignment is chaotic good, and zodiac is gemini. I would be a trainer for the fun of it and the excitement of making pokemon and human friends on my adventure!

Trainer class: Furisode girl

You live in a rather whimsical way and tend to view the world through rose colored glasses. This makes you very unique and interesting to be around, but can also get you into trouble if you view a situation in too much an idealistic way for what it calls for. You have a soft heart and want things to turn out well, but sometimes they don't and this is when you must rely on your pokemon to help you and comfort you until the hardship passes. Your sense of aesthetics and your interests also tend to be on the whimsical and fun side and you don't take training super seriously. The pokemon you choose for your team are simply the pokemon that you feel you vibe the most with and the pokemon that also want to help people alongside you. You care as much about your appearances as a team as you do about your actions, so you always ensure that you appear as someone that can be trusted and called upon by strangers. You design your look (and your pokemon's) in a way that makes you stand out from the crowd. This allows people in trouble to find you easily and allows you to have fun no matter what you are doing. Your pokemon are just as passionate as you are so be sure to lean on them.

Starter: Cyndaquil

Your starter pokemon is Cyndaquil. Cyndaquil is a naturally timid pokemon that is usually afraid of confrontation of any kind. If it finds itself being attacked in any way, the flames on its back flare up and it might harm those around it. Cyndaquil becoms more powerful as it evolves and grows. Cyndaquil depends on you to keep it safe while also helping it grow and become less fearful. Through its relationship with you, Cyndaquil learns that it is easier to fight if protecting someone instead of just fighting for itself, and you learn that you don't always have to be strong to protect people. Remember that vulnerability is important.

Partner: Bewear

Bewear is an incredibly protective and aggressive pokemon, to a fault. Bewear takes on very parental roles for all it cares about, and it will not stop protecting what it cares about no matter the circumstance. Bewear is also very affectionate and holds a lot of love within itself, but be sure to be careful as it does not know its own strength and may hurt those it loves when trying to be affectionate. Bewear trusts you entirely and will do all it can to maintain mutual understanding and trust between you two, so be sure to keep it close and work with it to maintain its love and affections.

Team: Typhlosion (starter), Absol, Floatzel, Hydreigon, Dubwool

Home town: Jubilife City, Sinnoh

Your hometown is Jubilife City in the Sinnoh region. Jubilife City is a large and modernized town that is home to the Global Trade Station among other things. Your experiences growing up in a large and bustling city made you very sensitive to the kinds of bad things that can happen to people regularly. This made it so that you grew passionate about helping people and about making sure that people don't have to experience bad things alone and without support. You and your pokemon grew up together in a world full of chaos and lots of energy, so your ability to live easily is admirable to them and to the people who know you.

Battle style: Focused and Whimsical

You do not tend to care that much about training beyond what you need to do to protect people in the case that a bad situation arises. For this reason, you and your pokemon tend to prioritize other types of things like performances and appearance. You and your pokemon tend to travel around doing performances and the like to make people happy. You and your teams very presence can sometimes brighten the day of people in the towns that you pass through. When you do battle, you don't take the result seriously unless something is on the line. If you are battling for the sake of someone else, or if you are battling for your ideals then you are a fierce opponent, but if you are just battling to battle then you tend to experiment and try new things during battle in order to better your creativity and problem solving without caring much for the outcome of the battle. You and your pokemon are fun seekers and protectors above all else, so don't worry too terribly much about being the best trainer.

The World-Building behind the Pokeyman Sun/Moon/Violence comic Starting with Melemele Island Everything is for fun and took a lot of thought and work from this Ty so pls Don't steal, copy, claim as your own etc... Super rude. Its more creative if you make up your own stuff too ya know

Melemele Island, the lush tropical island of beginnings Current Kahuna: Hau Kahale Former Kahuna: Hala Kahale Guardian Deity: Tapu Koko Capital: Hau'Oli City Main Export: Fruit, Rockruffs Main Import: Fish, Grains -Melemele Island has the only school in Alola. The school is the biggest building next to the mall in Hau'Oli. Professor Kukui, Lillie Kahale nee Bellamy, Ilima Oahu and Mina Kekoa teach here with Samson Oak as the headmaster. Because its the only school in the region, children usually only go for basic Pokemon raising knowledge, the basics and a grasp of an elective of their choice before "graduating". -The Berry Farm spans over the densely forested area of Melemele and it does hold the top tier export of the island after all. It is constantly guarded by Gumshoos fending off the local infestation of Alola Rattata and Raticate. Somewhere between the berry fields and forests is an area dedicated to the other fruits mainly ones that can't be grown in the harsh earth of Akala and Poni or the bipolar weather of Ula'Ula. -Ten Carat Hill houses the population of wild yet easily tamed Rockruffs. Though unintentionally difficult to reach, it tests the trainer to be absolutely sure training one of these aspiring pups is definitely for them. It is the job of the Kahuna to relocate any Lycanrocs and also patrol the terrain daily looking for any stranded trainers. -Kala'e Bay and Seaward Cave have the only float of Totodile and sea dwelling Salamence. The Totodile are tagged and chipped to prevent illegal capture and poaching while the Salamence viciously defend their territory. Only Lana has ever been granted permission to capture a Totodile from here and this is where Baloo captured Timaeus as a young Bagon. -Melemele Sea holds the most aggressive population of Mareanie. The Brutal Star Pokemon though prey on Corsola are also known to pick on small children who are left unattended in the water. There's talks with Ula'Ula to have a specially bred Bruxish imported to keep them away. Until then Ilima has been tasked with lifeguard duty armed with a knife made of Bruxish bone ---------------------------- -Melemele though is known for the delicious fruit it exports, also has the best breeding facilities for Rockruff, Yungoos, Rowlet, Litten and Popplio. -Rockruff variants include: standard, toy, competition, show and stunted. --Standard Rockruffs are usually slightly wild and rarely ever bred intentionally. They come from Ten Carat Hill fresh and are bred to be distributed to stores for anyone to buy or shelters. There's nothing out of the ordinary about them though occasionally one will show up without socks or a patch on the eye --Toy Rockruffs are bred to be small usually with an Eon or Skitty/Delcatty parent. They have short legs with round features and can come with a normal, bobbed or no tail. Because of their small bodies it is illegal to battle them --Competition Rockruffs are bred big with a Mightyena or Arcanine parent. Thick shoulders and deep broad chests are a common feature on them. They're meant for professional battle and guard jobs but nothing else. Casual or even illegal battles will result in loss of trainer license and the Rockruff/Lycanroc will be taken away to be rehomed. They also occasionally have aggression problems and are not meant for casual family life --Show Rockruffs are bred to be eye catching with a Popplio/Brionne/Primarina, Skitty/Delcatty or Buneary/Lopunny parent. Their coats and gait are immaculate. They are usually bred for beauty pageants and contests but its not unheard of to see one in battle. Often they can be found as perfect family pets as their showy and need to please personality makes them easy for children to teach tricks to and cuddle. --Stunted Rockruffs are the worst tier. Usually found in illegal pet mills or the product of bad breeding, stunted Rockruffs usually do not live long fulfilling lives. They're usually plagued with respiratory problems, birth defects or horrible social problems. Not to say finding a stunted Rockruff at a shelter and giving it a loving home is bad, you just have to understand what you're getting into -Yungoos variants include: standard, toy and stunted --Standard Yungoos are usually lightly domesticated with at least one wild parent. Often a native Melemele child receives one at the age of 6 to teach a semblance of responsibility with Pokemon. They are usually kept as a semi-stray at the home if the child doesn't choose to keep it with them. --Toy Yungoos are bred to be more docile usually with a Sentret/Furret or Buizel/Floatzel parent. They have long bodies and fluffy fur with rarer ones having socks or dotbrow marks. These Yungoos are easily picked out by their friendlier and cuddly personalities with a tendency to want to be cuddled up on a shoulder or lap --Stunted Yungoos are bred for baiting. Their bodies are fatter and their legs are unable to move them normally. A stunted Yungoos will be tossed out to well bait a Pokemon into attacking it. They usually do not survive. However stunted Yungoos are sweet and naturally fearful of meeting new people. These Yungoos have no way of defending themselves and withdraw immediately if you raise your voice -Rowlet variants include: Standard and competition --Standard Rowlet are bred but monitored carefully to eliminate defects and the like. They're usually extremely friendly and eager to please whoever winds up taking them. However the rare few with a more headstrong, confident and at times uppity personality are released or returned. --Competition Rowlets usually have a naturally aggressive parent. Like Rufflet/Braviary, Doduo,Dodrio, Noibat/Noivern or even Aerodactyl. Because of this they have to be licensed to be trained for professional battle only. Competition Decidueye have been known to be ruthless and guiltlessly cruel at times -Litten variants include: Standard, toy, competition and stunted --Standard Litten like standard Rowlet and Popplio are bred to take out any negativity. It doesn't work on their attitude however. Litten bred standard are touchy and a bit harder to train. But raised right and your Litten will be a powerful asset to your team --Toy Litten are bred to be pets and nothing else. They can look standard or have floppy ears or a hypoallergenic coat. The toy Litten like any other toy Pokemon is illegal to use in battle. They usually have a Skitty/Delcatty or Espurr/Meowstic parent --Competition Litten are bred often dangerously with a Rockruff/Lycanroc parent. They are extremely hard to train and the license needed to own one is often more trouble then its worth. There are many illegally owned competition Incineroar and when captured they often need to be humanely euthanized due to how dangerous they are. Competition Litten/Torracat/Incineroar require a strict training regime not many are willing to keep and the consequences are severe --Stunted Litten are usually strays wandering the island. Though some are sweet and social enough to feed on the porch, some are not. They're often found in patterns deviating from the norm like tabby, bicolor, blastoiseshell and solid. The blastoiseshell are sought after the most and go from stray to family pet very quickly -Popplio variants include: Standard and show --Standard Popplio don't need as much monitoring to have positive outcomes. Their temperament is fantastic for family and trainer life due to how eager they are to please and need to be social and loved. Popplio raised right will follow an order to the tooth and never disobey unless such disobedience could save their trainer's life --Show Popplio are natural performers straight from the egg. Training them for pageants and contests is easy and very rewarding. Though purebred ones are naturally good, any separate parent can only contribute but rarely take away from the natural skill of the Popplio. ---------------------------- Iki Town -The kahuna manor is here however not many unrelated to him live in town. The population is more Hau'Oli City's thing. Because it seems so deserted, the ones who do live here are friendly and welcoming to everyone. -At night around midnight you can see Tapu Koko wandering the streets looking for something. If you see him, make sure he doesn't see you. No one knows what he's looking for and no one is brave enough to ask Hau'Oli City -The biggest city in Alola and constantly awake and moving. Apartments, hotels, stores, mall and the market. Despite how densely populated it is, everyone is friendly and helpful. -The mall holds: Battle Buffet: Hau and Baloo frequented this place to the point where their photos are on display. Though it can be for casual dining, its more of a thing for people who want to battle and eat. Gracidea: The most expensive clothing store in all of Alola. No one usually shops here unless its for a very special occasion Antiquities of the Ages: Oddly this place is new to Alola and a lot of it's stock comes from Olivia and Mina. Neither of them say where or how they find theses things Slurpuff Smoothies: A place occupied by Slurpuffs and offers a wide variety of delicious smoothies made with fruit, berries and dairy products. Very health concious -The market holds: Berry stand: The berry farmer's wife brings in berries from the field meant to be sold locally MooMoo Milk stand: Dairy products brought from Kiawe's ranch and its usually someone volunteering or Baloo managing the stand The Greens stand: Vegetables. That is all --------------------------------------------------- Iki Festival -A festival held every year presenting a promising child in battle for Tapu Koko to witness. If there are no children of age, everyone just parties and battles Malasada Festival -A recent event implemented by Hau. Everyone literally gathers in Iki Town with malasadas homemade or store bought and eats while watching the stars. Sharing of malasadas is encouraged Pancake Race -Racing with stacks of pancakes. Pancakes are also served. This island has a lot of food festivals

Overwatch Pokemon teams

Going off of my previous post where I attached types to each of the pre-Orisa heroes, I’ve also been working on making potential teams for everyone. Orisa will come at some point.

A couple of rules I made for myself:

1: No duplicate Pokemon across multiple heroes

2: No legendaries.

3: Fully evolved Pokemon only. These are the teams I think they’d be using by the end of the game, or possibly online, and those pokemon are generally fully evolved except for a few Eviolite users or at much lower tiers.

List is under the cut!

Ana

This was one of the easiest. Arbok and Cofagrigus refer back to the Ancient Egyptian imagery of Wadjet and Sarcophagi, the former of which is part of Ana’s tattoos and the latter of which is part of her heritage that she seems to hold dear. Musharna is a reference to her tranquilizing capabilities, while Flygon and Delphox fit the more general desert setting of her home. And, obviously, her status as Pharah’s mother makes Kangaskhan a perfect fit.

Bastion

Another simple one. Magnezone is a robot with multiple sets of eyes, like Bastion, and terrifying long-range firepower. Swellow is the closest thing to Ganymede I could find out of any of the fully-evolved regional birds. Trevenant lets smaller creatures live in/on it, like Bastion, and Bastion is also shown to like flowers like Florges. Like Dragonite, Bastion is incredibly powerful but usually harmless. Forretress was the hardest one to justify, but it’s a durable Steel-type and “Fortress” is a synonym for the building definition of “bastion”.

D.Va

This took me a few tries. Azumarill and Lopunny are obvious, given D.Va’s rabbit iconography. Since D.Va is younger and less obviously threatening out-of-mech compared to the rest of the cast, I thought Roserade (“every rose has its thorn”) and Mawile would represent this “hidden danger” better than other Pokemon. Pachirisu is mostly there as a joke; while it’s a cute rodent that D.Va would probably use, its famous usage in the 2014 VGC championships was what compelled me to give it to her. She’d be aware of its competitive usage, after all. Golurk, being a large robot that does not look like it should be able to fly but still can (like D.Va’s mech) was an obvious choice I knew would go to her as soon as I thought of this list.

Genji

This was the first one I finished. Ninjask and Greninja are obvious; Genji’s a freaking Ninja, after all. Samurott was harder to justify, but I think it makes sense when considering his family background; yes, the Shimada were not Samurai, but going by Hanzo’s training they had a similar level of discipline. Absol and Scizor have sharp blade imagery/names, like his huge sword. Lastly, the most blade-like Dragon-type is Haxorus; yes, Genji doesn’t have an axe, but no other dragons use or are based off of a bladed weapon.

Hanzo

Hanzo’s was made after Genji’s and is meant to reflect him. Accelgor is a wandering ninja, and while Hanzo isn’t a ninja in the same sense that Genji is, he’s definitely a wanderer and like the Samurai/Genji connection, one exists between Hanzo and ninjutsu. Noivern is a dragon, but meant more to be representative of Hanzo’s “Sonic Arrow”, being based on an echolocation-reliant bat. Gyrados is closer to the dragons that Hanzo fires off with Dragonstrike. Decidueye is based on an archer, so this should be obvious. Umbreon was a contentious pic, but I want Hanzo to have an Eeveelution and it fit him more than the rest, being a dark and broody Pokemon. And, finally, him having a Shedninja while Genji has a Ninjask should speak for itself.

Junkrat

Another simple one. Electrode is a really obvious choice. Junkrat is a renowned criminal and gang member, so Scrafty and Krookodile make good choices. Being based partially on a caltrops, spiky traps hidden in the ground, Ferrothorn makes sense for the trap-based Junkrat. As a chemically unstable, high-flying and sinister Pokemon, Drifblim also fits him, while Floatzel seems to mix his lighter side with the undercurrent (sorry) of danger.

Lucio

Surprisingly, I think the only “frog-like” Pokemon that fits Lucio is Politoed, given that the others are either too sinister for Lucio (Toxicroak/Seismitoad) or don’t visually resemble frogs enough to belong to him (Other Poliwag family members). Exploud is a given, considering Lucio’s penchant for loud noise, while Kricketune shows off his lower-key nonvocal music career. Primarina was a more contentious pick, given that Lucio doesn’t sing, but it’s the closest we’ve got to a “diva” pokemon, no pun intended. Helioptile is partially based on solar panels, which is a reference to the energy problems afflicting Dorado and Rio that Lucio has involved himself in, and, like Ludicolo, he’s pretty laid-back and likes to party.

McCree

My more controversial decision before the rest; McCree was part of Blackwatch and before that, Deadlock, so he’s got some demons, and what better demon than Houndoom, a hellhound? Clawitzer is a reference to his disproportionately gigantic pistol, while Cacturne, Lycanroc (being based on a smaller wolf and thus similar to a coyote), Marowak, and Mandibuzz are more general cowboy imagery that I couldn’t pass up.

Mei

After resisting the urge to make her entire team irritating Dark-and-Ghost-types, Mei was one of the harder ones to do, mostly because I did hers last. Glaceon and Vanilluxe are the necessary Ice-types, the second one particularly notable given how many sprays she has depicting frozen treats. Jellicent is a silly-looking but terrifying Pokemon, and the female version fits her better even if the male version is blue. Even if she’s not a healer, Mei is pretty cute and kindhearted and generally tries to be helpful, so she gets an Audino. And because I just couldn’t resist pointing it out, she gets Wobbuffet and Whimsicott because they’re annoying assholes and so is Mei.

But in all seriousness, they do fit her.

Mercy

The second one I finished. I may have spoiled her a bit. Blissey and Comfey are healers, making them obvious choices, while Togekiss and Altaria are kindhearted flying-types with angelic imagery. Gardevoir has the grace, silhouette (and the fans of a…certain sort) of Mercy. Leavanny is there because...well, we all know Mercy is Team Mom. And Mismagius is a bit of fun, given the popularity and prominence of her Witch skin.

Pharah

Another fairly easy one. Lucario, being based on Anubis, and Luxray, being based on the Sphinx, are easy choices given her devotion to her Egyptian heritage. Pharah spends much of her time in the sky, shadowed against the sun, so a combination of that and her rockets being fire-based made Volcarona seem like a solid fit. Blaziken combines her flying-nature with her bird-of-prey imagery and her fire-based attacks, while Staraptor is obvious given the name of her suit (Raptora) and the previously mentioned bird imagery. Gliscor was the hardest one for me to decide here; I went with it because it’s a dangerous predator that can move around unexpectedly, fly from unusual angles, and some of Pharah’s suit resembles a gargoyle, which Gliscor is based off of. I acknowledge that it’s a difficult pick, and may amend it later.

Reaper

Edgelord, as could have easily been predicted, gets Skarmory and Bisharp due to their angular, slicey nature. Bisharp in particular, seeing as it’s a Dark-type. Sharpedo is a brutal Pokemon (and a Brutal Pokemon, shared with Hydreigon), and Reaper himself is cruel and powerful, so that fits. Toxicroak was a more difficult pick, but I wanted to grab something sinister and speedy that wasn’t a Dark-type and Toxicroak quickly came to mind. Dusknoir evolves from Duskull and still has some Grim Reaper imagery, so that makes sense, and the spin-to-win nature of Death Blossom makes Hitmontop a natural fit.

Reinhardt

One of my personal favorites. Aegislash is emblematic of the sword-and-shield inherent to Reinhardt’s chivalry and aspirations to classical knighthood, while Bastiodon is a more literal representation of Reinhardt’s capacity to shield others. Like Heracross and the beetles it’s based on, Reinhardt is exceedingly strong. The lion is Reinhardt’s primary animal symbol, so Pyroar is an obvious choice. Like Torterra, Reinhardt is strong but focuses on supporting others, sometimes quite literally, and is similarly durable. And Drampa is a bit of a joke, given how he’s like a grandfather to the younger members of the team.

Roadhog

This went through a few iterations before I settled on one that I liked. Snorlax and Pangoro fit the “large and slow and powerful” projection of Roadhog, while Emboar and Mamoswine refer to the pig/hog motif that fits most of Roadhog’s skins. Honchkrow is there because he represents Roadhog’s criminal status as a sort of “head honcho” of operations; yes, Junkrat technically hires him and is usually the one talking, but in every other context Roadhog gives the appearance of being a crime boss. Garchomp is a reference to his name, Mako (and since Sharpedo seems to fit Reaper better, I went with the other shark-like Pokemon), and his two shark-based skins.

Soldier: 76

I was a little silly with this one, choosing to emphasize Soldier’s ‘Merica mentality more than anything else. Bald eagles and grizzly bears are as American as apple pie, so here comes Ursaring and Braviary (yes, I know Ursaring is based on an Asian black bear, but there are no grizzly bear pokemon and it shares the brown coloration of one). Tanks, too, are truly American symbols, and Blastoise is sporting the double cannons of one of these tread-mounted monstrosities. The final three are a bit of fun; dogs, too, are universally loved by humans but seem to hold a special place in the hearts of United States citizens (and I’m totally not biased) and the most quintessentially “Dog” Pokemon are Arcanine, Stoutland, and, yes, Granbull (it’s bipedal, but the bulldog resemblance is there).

Sombra

This took a few versions to come up with something that wasn’t entirely Dark-or-Ghost-types; as it is now, I still failed on that part, but it’s a bit more balanced. Rotom is based on a poltergeist and is perfect for a disruptive hacker, while Klefki’s collection of keys makes it a similarly suitable Pokemon for Sombra, to whom no doors are locked. Gengar and Liepard are mischievous, bordering on criminal, while Malamar is confusing and menacing when it gets serious (remember how intimidating Sombra can be). Lastly, Mimikyu is also a Pokemon based on confusion and messing with your opponent and is more symbolic of her stealthiness than the others on her team.

Symmetra

Another one of my favorites. Symmetra’s got the haughtiness and grace of Serperior, the coloration and beauty of Alolan Ninetales and Milotic, and the technical prowess (though its instability would infuriate her) of Porygon-Z. Froslass, as a literal ice queen, fits her personality, while her hard-light technology makes Ampharos, a Pokemon notable for its electrical power and light-generating capabilities, a good match for her.

Torbjorn

I chose to emphasize the raw labor and toil aspects of his character, rather than the memes. Gigalith, as a mineral formation, is the perfect source (not literally) for Torbjorn’s machinations. Klinklang is a literal gear grinding mechanism, which he would appreciate and which matches his scrap collection. Diggersby and Conkeldurr are representative of construction workers, which fit Torbjorn’s style, while the stoutness and slowness of Camerupt’s flames make it an excellent partner for his ability to overclock his suit during Molten Core. And, finally, for some variation, Pelipper is the squattest and shortest, at least in general shape, of any of the major flying birds, making it a perfect fit for him.

Tracer

Tracer is all about speed. Zebstrika and Pidgeot are blazing fast, just like her, while Linoone is almost as quick and just as peppy. Jumpluff is sillier, and Tracer never lacks for a good joke, while Mienshao fits her slim physique and rapid acrobatics. Meowstic was a tougher choice, but it’s still a fast, short, deadly psychic type, and Alakazam really doesn’t fit Tracer.

Widowmaker

Another easy one. Galvantula and Ariados are obvious choices, considering Widowmaker’s spider motif. Gorebyss is pretty and dangerous, like Widowmaker, and Salazzle matches her color scheme and is all-female to boot. Baille Oricorio was chosen because it was the closest thing I could find to a ballet dancer (and Gardevoir is too kindhearted to fit Widowmaker), while Tsareena fits given her mono-gender nature, cruel demeanor, and long “boots”.

Winston

I had a bit of fun here and went with some unconventional choices. Slaking fits, being based on a gorilla (and also a sloth, but we’re ignoring that) and even if monkeys aren’t apes, Infernape has “ape” in its name and plays similarly to Winston (being a rapid, dangerous closer-range damage dealer). Electivire is representative of both Winston’s Tesla Cannon and his ape-ness, as it’s also based on a gorilla, while Slowking gives the appearance of stupidity while actually being more intelligent than almost any other Pokemon, in the same way that Winston is smarter than most humans but does not initially appear so. Beheeyem fits because, well, Winston is technically an alien, and since Winston crashed down on Earth in the same manner as a meteor, Minior with an indigo core also seemed appropriate. Plus, he obviously spent and still spends a lot of his time looking at shooting stars and it was the introduction we were given to his life as a baby (remember that he was watching the stars when he stole Dr. Winston’s glasses).

Zarya

The second-to-last one I made. Machamp is based on a wrestler/bodybuilder and thus makes perfect sense for our weightlifting hero, while Beartic is a “big, fuzzy, Siberian bear”. Magmortar might not seem to fit with our cold-weather woman, but it’s partially based off of a cannon, which she lugs around with little difficulty. Metagross is the closest thing to a mech that isn’t Golurk, and D.Va fits that one better. And since Zarya seems to enjoy the color pink (going by her nails and hair) and is inherently kindhearted even when she’s incredibly strong, Sylveon and Clefable make reasonable choices.

Zenyatta

Zenyatta’s wasn’t that difficult, since I had most of what I wanted for him in mind as soon as the rest of the list came together. Medicham is an easy pick, as is Zen Mode Darmanitan, given their association with meditation and calm. Noctowl, as an owl, is a symbol of wisdom, and Zenyatta is nothing if not knowledgeable. Bronzong was the most traditionally “spiritual” Steel-type I could find, and it also being a Psychic-type was an added bonus. Carbink is durable, unlike Zenyatta, but its association with gemstones fits the bright, shiny effects attached to Zenyatta’s abilities. And while the evil Spiritomb might seem a bad fit for our gentle Omnic monk, it’s based off of several Buddhist traditions and elements that are synonymous with the beliefs that Zenyatta and his fellow monks follow.

Hope you enjoyed this, it was definitely fun to make!

Hero no Macademia Nuts, season fucking two let's get the fuck on with this shit

1 This recap makes me remember questions I didn't bother to ask earlier. So after the first magic baby was born, reports of quirks "popped up" apparently in grown people... but nowadays quirks pop up neither in infancy nor adulthood, but most in kids around 4, and if you're significantly past that there's little chance you'll gain a quirk in adulthood. Bitch, what? Plus it's been shown/implied that quirks are genetic, which doesn't make much sense with that origin story either unless glowbaby bathed the entire Earth in mutation-inducing radiation. and the narration randomly spews some shit about collective consciousness. karl jung maeda would be twirling in his grave if he heard this shit

this cold open fight betta deliver good

"he may not have had a plan when he acted" he did have a plan. throw things. it was a page of his notebook remmeber so who did al mite write this letter to, and how do they feel about him having had his stomach surgically removed or whatever? tell me how heroic sacrifices affect the people around them. tell me how your bland, blind ideals fall apart once they're subjected to just a bit of scrutiny

We're told handsy is a "spoiled brat manchild who was never told no" to make us immediately hate him (show don't tell would be spinning in its grave if it saw this shit) but that really just makes me ask questions. Like... why is he this way? We're told he bad because he treated birdbrains like a "pet", but for all we've seen... Birdsy is just a brainless (haha) monster that can't even speak, what was created to fufill a certain purpose. How the hell else is he supposed to treat the thing? Nobody is like this for absolutely no reason, but MHA wants us to hate on an empty homunculi with no origin because they said he was horrible. or maybe it's so terrible I just want to be contrary. - and then the principal calls his students manchildren by proxy lol ok

school was closed after the attack... which happened on like the second day of school. the kids only got like two, three days of class before the school got fucking shut down lol apparently for only one day too as far as we saw. absolute kek

"uh, I'm sorry but why not (cancel it)? it's just a sports festival..." Grapes-kun's quirk might be his grapes but his true superpower is being fuckin reasonable apparently this fucking school's sports festival is bigger than the olympics or some shit. it's the fourth day of class and already the kids' future careers are on the line.

earplugs girl is still shitting on electric guy and I still hate her. meanwhile floatzel loses her shit and goes out of character because nothing matters - construction company hasn't gotten work in this society where superfights destroy buildings. how - floatdad basically ruined her by telling her to focus on her own dream. becoming rich by joining a top-level agency is so much harder than her just helping the construction company with her powers. And it still doesn't make much sense, because if she was hyped up over catching an agency's attention she should be more hyped up over training exercises since getting an agency to notice her is worthless if she's not good enough to interest them.

And then we get another one of those things that just seems *weird* to me but I just can't put my finger on why- AM decides that the reason punching birdman didn't break Beku's arm is because... his body subconciously put the brakes on to keep him from killing a bitch. Which... oh man, what? First off- the implication is that Beku fucking threw down to kill. Which... is actually reasonable, since he's facing an inhuman monster that's trying to kill other people, which makes the fact that he supposedly stopped himself from killing questionable, but on the other hand we're talking about some kid fucking trying to kill a bitch. And then there's the weird implication that what stopped him from killing wasn't morals but an inherent reflex, and without it birdbrains would be a fucking red mist. Not because Beku thought for himself that killing was wrong... because his heroic body just auto-decides that for him. He never has to worry about the morality of a situation, just throw punches and don't think about it. I- I don't fucking know, it's just... fucking weird. And then AM calls this "some kind of progress" because he's made absolutely no other kind of progress except... this.

oh look, we get the designated gril ed credits right off the bat. sell that waifu merch

2 Beku is entirely right. The sports festival is useless for Beku right now, both as a chance to sell himself and as a way to fix his problems with his powers. He needs actual focused training if anything, not random skirmishes, and there's no point in trying to show off when he can barely do anything. But it's being sold to us that because he had the heroic passions once he needs to be as retarded as possible, just charge ahead with whatever's presented to him never thinking of how to get the most out of his time. Hell, he'd probably get more out of skipping the festival entirely and just meditating in a cave somewhere instead. This is just... indescribably dumb. Besides, with all the villains gunning for AM just because of his status, it'd be way better for him to keep his civilian identity a secret... which means showing off as a student is pointless.

have we ever even heard of the other courses before? and this just makes things even more contrived, that the one class that was already despised for ~spotlight camping is the one that got targeted by real villains and survived unscathed because plot armor so now everyone else just happens to hate them even more. What was the point of this? Like, it's a competition, but you need to make the entire rest of the school even more competitive against specifically this class because... why? It's just so cheap. it's not the hero course it's just the main character course

We skim over even more month because it's either the most clusterfuck of a single day possible or absolutely nothing. "a bunch of villains did just break in"- just? I thought they just skipped over months of training.

... why aren't they using their costumes now?

icyhot randomly shows up to bitch and dickmeasure at beku about how he's totally going to win... just why? this is such a cheap and empty way to attempt to raise the stakes and drama. why did he even single out Beku? Everyone still thinks he's kind of shit. Hell, why is Icyhot the only one making declarations like this?

baguko gets up on stage and does exactly what he usually does, acts like an overblown asshole, but Beku tells us it means his character's changed. if you have to explain it to us then it means you've failed. The way Bakugo acts here tells us just about nothing, it's just more of the same shit we've gotten so far from a character I sure fucking don't really care about but his samey bullshit is still being shoved down my throat. It's boring.

oh look only the students we know whose powers we know get ahead. we already know their powers, so this is boring. no one else matters. nothing matters. at least grapes-kun gets to show off. Like, no, really, I've been wanting to see him do some shit for a while now. In the entrance exam (or the test they did on the first day of class? whatever)- I don't remember where he ranked, but he was at least above Midoriya, who had just his normal strength and the one finger blast to rely on. (probably second last lol) And his powers, while useful for... some things, couldn't have helped all that much. So he must have some kind of physical prowress to have made it in this school. Which makes him interesting, that this dopey little joke character is at least presumably competent. And in the landmine race he's shown being both somewhat physically adept as well as quite cunning. oh look, it's "the zero-point robots from the entrance exams" !!! man, remember that? check out them recycled cels and reused models, we don't need to design a new thing ha ha hwt the fuc beku mom is just watching the festival and crying because she thinks her son is going to fucking die. what the fuc did she think was happening at the school this entire time?

- the preview has bakugo acting like a psycho asshole again and contradicitng what beku said before so that's not even legit apparently. ha ha what's character growth and things happening

Day 4

Morning diary! Wow, I’m pretty tuckered out today! It’s a bit later than when I normally start writing, but I’ve had such a busy morning you wouldn’t believe! Mr Trainer Man seems obsessed with #FATBAT and I don’t want Mr Trainer Man to undergo the same level of pain as… Well, I don’t want Mr Trainer Man to undergo any pain! Anyway, we’re off to find Mr Trainer Man to tell him the weird red haired guy with the angry face went into the burned down building!

Actually, this may have all been a huge mistake… Mr Trainer Man has gone straight to the burned down building! Mr Trainer Man, wait, it may not be safe! Oh no, he’s starting a fight…

#FATBAT is faster than the rest of us, so she takes on the Murkrow that Chat sends out. I waddle up behind and pull on Mr Trainer Man’s shirt, pointing at Chat. They have 5 pokes. So do we. We all match up. #FATBAT is already fighting the Murkrow, so we leave her to it. Sandy faces up to the Elekid, being immune to electric type moves. McQueen flies over to the Haunter as he isn’t scared of ghosts. Aang runs over to the Croconaw with his fists crackling with electricity. Leaving me with the Kadabra. Wait, why am I in against a Kadabra? Oh whatever, guess I’ll just go with it. Wendy rock gives me strength as I summon rocks from the floor below, but then Kadabra disables that move, using his psychic powers to stop me from summoning more rocks! How rude is that?! I spit in his face which causes him to run crying back to Chat. I turn around and see everyone else has managed to take down their opponents, all unscathed. Chat runs out, trying to hide the weeping Kadabra, embarrassed. Mr Trainer Man thinks about going downstairs to wake up the sleeping beasts, but a Ledian flies up to us and tells us that they are supposed to stay sleeping. #FATBAT swats him away in her excitement, and he hits the wall with a resounding crunch.

Whew, I’ve not ran like that in ages! Did anybody see if that noise woke up the beasts? No one? Oh well. Maybe that crunch was just louder in my ear…

We ran about a bit to lose any potential pursuers before we end up in the gym. I had wanted to pass by the dance studio, but Mr Trainer Man gets tunnel vision sometimes! Oh well.

McQueen is still bubbling after his fight with Chat’s Haunter, and wants to carry on ghostbusting. I’m more than happy to trust him; McQueen has been a good friend ever since Losegull went off for his competition… I hope he hasn’t forgotten about me… Oh, sorry, got lost in thoughts for a moment there. As I was saying, McQueen has been a good friend, and a strong companion, and I’m still very tired from all that running.

McQueen made short work of those trainers, and now we have the gym leader, a guy called Morty. His grey hair makes him look super old, is he part ghost? Mr Trainer Man seems a little tense; is this going to be another tough fight?

McQueen heads out against the Duskull. He pulls back a bit to get some extra power behind the wing attack, and Morty swaps his Duskull for a Misdreavus to take the hit! Morty tried to heal the Misdreavus up, but with a well placed wing attack the Misdreavus goes down.

Aand and I start up a chant, which Sandy stomps along to. #FATBAT flaps about a bit trying to get the timing down, all of us feeling on an adrenaline rush still from the running earlier. Morty sends out a Gengar. McQueen pulls back his wing, slaps the Gengar around the face-

A crackle of lightning.

A thunderbolt from the sky.

McQueen drops to the floor, the faint smell of cooked bird in the air. #FATBAT screeches forward and clamps her mouth over the Gengar’s arm, forcing it to retreat.

#FATBAT’s rage continues, gnawing away at Morty’s Shuppet and Haunter. I hold the Wendy rock tightly, and feel it get warm in my hand, almost as if McQueens spirit is moving to inhabit it. I look up to see Aang move in for the kill as he notices the Haunter has put #FATBAT to sleep. As the Haunter goes down I feel the Wendy rock cool. Aang is struggling against Morty’s Sableye, so I move forward. The Sableye is damaged, so a water pulse is all it takes. Morty sends in his final Pokemon, a Duskull, who is clearly no match for me. His Shadow Ball bounces off me and I unleash a barrage of water pulses to take him down.

Badge get for Mr Trainer Man.

It does hurt. I won’t pretend it doesn’t. But that warmth… It can’t be a coincidence… Was it just the fact that we were in a place full of ghosts, or does this rock have the ability to harbour spirits? I never doubted that Wendy is in here… but could McQueen be as well?

Another grey haired man awaits us as we pass through the building to go to the next town. Oh, the next one’s a city? Cool! I don’t have the energy to be angry at the resemblance to the gym leader. He hands Mr Trainer Man… an iron plate? Really? What good is that supposed to do us? Ugh whatever.

Yo, Mr Dinosaur, why do you have a flower on your back? No, no I don’t think it looks silly, I think it looks pretty cool. You do you. You want to wear flowers, that’s cool. I just don’t understand why you’re called Tomato? What do you mean ‘why are you called Brick’ that’s just rude! No, no, okay, point taken. Actually, a good friend of mine had a flower on his head. Yeah, his name was Brian. You should know, Tomato, Pokemon travelling with Mr Trainer Man… Well, I’ve seen a lot of my friends get hurt. Beyond repair, you know? But, you seem like a hardy guy, and… Well, Brian was always a good influence. Fancy tagging along? You do? That’s fantastic! Come on, let’s get you trained up…

Be a mon, you must be swift as a coursing Floatzel… with all the force of a great Thundurus… with all the strength of a raging Feraligatr… mysterious as the origin of Mew! Yeah, I bring all the cool tunes to training! Ah, Tomato’s fitting in really well! We had a quick match of tug-of-war; me and Tomato vs Aang and Sandy. #FATBAT was our independent judge, and although neither behemoth managed to pull the other one along, we did get Sandy to buckle a bit at the knees, so we were considered the victors, yay!

Oh… hi sir… safari zone? Sounds barbaric; you mean you’ve literally just captured a load of Pokemon and put them in an enclosure? What a freak…

#FATBAT comes flying over as I’m berating Old Man Baboa to say there’s a guy taking photos over by the moomoo farm! We all look at Mr Trainer Man with the wide eyed wonder of a child and he lets us have our group picture taken. Woo! See, sometimes things work out well!

Olivine city is nearby. I can smell the sea air and immediately feel at home. I run on ahead and crash into Chat as he comes out of the gym. Apparently there’s a sick Pokemon at the top of the lighthouse? And they give off light? Like Wendy? Mr Trainer Man, we have to go and see if we can help!

FLAG SET

Wait, what was that? Oh… a little rock dinosaur, where did you come from? What’s going on? You’re called Plankton and you’re on the team? Some strange things are happening here… Why did that lady say FLAG SET? And where did she go? What’s going on? Maybe I’m just overtired…

~ I’ve had a quick nap, and that helped a little. I couldn’t fall asleep, partially from wondering what flag had been set, or where or why, and I couldn’t get the thought of the sick Pokemon out of my head. Mr Trainer Man seems really excited to see a yellow haired guy, so I tell him to catch us up. We rush up the lighthouse as fast as Sandy and Tomato will go, with #FATBAT rushing ahead and beating up as many trainers as she can to allow us to make as much progress as possible.

Wait… we have to jump down? But the sick Pokemon is at the top of the lighthouse? Maybe we just missed the stairs? And… and… how do we know that jumping down won’t just get us stranded and stuck? Or break our legs? Oh, Mr Trainer Man, you caught up with us… We’re a little confused… wait, what are you doing?! Oh why does everyone want to jump down? Oh dear, oh dear… No. I have to be strong. For Wendy, for McQueen, and for the Pokemon at the top of the lighthouse that can still be saved. Aaaaaaaaaaah!

Wait… I’m okay? I’m okay! We made it, we all made it! Quick, up the last few floors… Oh… um… you really aren’t you Amphy… A secretpotion? Across the ocean? I mean… I can swim, but how will everyone else get there? Mr Trainer Man, do you have Surf? Where can we get Surf?

We climb into the lift and think about where we could learn Surf; I can’t carry people if we don’t have the HM. At the bottom floor of the lighthouse, we overhear on the radio that there is a member of Team Rocket in the dance theatre in Ecruteak! I had forgotten I had even wanted to go there earlier today! We all run over there; I may not have a fondness for the kimono ladies, but no-one should suffer at the hands of the rocket men! #FATBAT and Sandy team up on the member of Team Rocket, while Aang comforts the Kimono lady. Tomato had to wait outside as he couldn’t fit in the building with Sandy (he offered to stay behind as Sandy would be stronger against Team Rocket’s poison types). I make sure all the onlookers are okay and unaffected, and a kind elderly gentlemen thanks us all profusely, giving us the Surf HM! What perfect timing! I retreat back into my pokeball, exhausted, as Mr Trainer Man treks back once more to Olivine City. We have agreed to wait a night so we can be well rested for our sea adventures; although we are all very worried about Amphy it would do no good if we didn’t make it back due to being too tired!

The sea air wafts into my pokeball as I drift off to sleep. Goodnight diary. See you tomorrow. Today has been a very long day.
