#eevee day kris

[crystalelemental]

Me before, naive: “God, why didn’t DeNA give these Eeveelutions access to EX?  That’s the first time a scoutable unit hasn’t come with EX in what, two years?  Longer?  It’s just stupid at this point, why would they handicap them like that?”

Me now, enlightened after seeing Kris’ sync nuke outdamages Ash’s even without EX: “Oh, I see.  They were afraid.”

[reestallized]

THE SM PROTAGS AND ELAINE ARE COMING?????

[autoantonyms]

Joker Out as Eeveelutions (Pokémon)

Bojan as Eevee

"It's ability to evolve into many forms allows it to adapt smoothly and perfectly to any environment."

- I know we joke a lot about how he can do anything, but this is literally an explanation for that ^

- smallest of them all

- also the cutest

- fluffy brown hair and brown puppy eyes

- I feel like the normal type gets overlooked a lot but it can be quite useful

- abilities: run away from your finnish lover and homosexual feelings

Kris as Espeon

" It evolves from Eevee when leveled up with high friendship during the day." (0:19)

- Kris needed Bojan to evolve into his full form ^ (Bokris agenda is high in this household)

- I associate pink with him

- both of them just stare into your soul

- model face and slay pose

- they both look like elegant bitches with their long limbs and juicy asses

- ability: synchronize *if the Pokémon is hurt, the responsable Pokémon will be inflicted with the same status condition* I just feels like that's something Kris would do. If someone's e. g. mean to him, I think he would give them the same treatment

Jan as Umbreon

"When exposed to the moons aura, the rings on its body glow faintly and it gains a mysterious power."

- Jan's just overall the dark kinda vibe

- needs high friendship level to evolve as well but at night (0:20)

- blue lights elevate him in my eyes (Shiny Umbreon has blue rings instead of yellow ones, which I like a tad bit more)

- Umbreon seems like someone who would look sexy while smoking

- gay vibes

- feel like they both really need time to get comfortable with people but when they do, their bond becomes inseparable (X)

- also Umbreon and Espeon are counterparts of each other, both from the same gen, Kris and Jan being the guitarists of the band (yes that is the same thing in this case) and they're both so mysterious on their own way

Nace as Leafeon

"When you see Leafeon asleep in a patch of sunshine, you’ll know it is using photosynthesis to produce clean air."

- photosynthesis as a metaphor that he's capable (and essential) to help his friends when they're in need (Bojan's panic attack)

- they both give chill vibes

- lovely, nice and pretty

- Pokédex is claiming that Leafeon smells so good, it's scent is also sold as a perfume (Nace looks like he smells really good)

- it isn't really a happy fighter, but it WILL fight for its friends <3

- also: "Leafeon is very proud of being able to split tree trunks itself." is so Nace-Dad coded lol

Jure as Jolteon

"It concentrates the weak electric charges emitted by its cells and launches wicked lightning bolts."

- the hair

- Jure always seems like he's buzzing with energy

- Jolteon would be the drummer in a band

- weakness: ground (7:14)

- Jolteon looks like trouble, and so does Jure

HI HI HI ASHE !!!!!!! SPEAKING OF POKEMON (hehe)

if u know ,,, how does ur lyra meet her pokemon!! and what are they like in terms of their personalities :]

SPEAKING OF POKEMON!!! (Grinning)

So Lyra’s first pokemon was NOT Roar the Cyndaquil like most other protagonists. Her first pokemon was actually Ombre the Eevee, a gift from Bill on her 14th birthday (he did the same for Kris). Ombre was her only other friend growing up outside of Ethan. She’s a bit more rambunctious, jolly even, than other Espeon you’d know, and often jumps on Lyra when she wants to play. But she’s also very protective of Lyra, probably the most protective of her team.

Roar the Cyndaquil, whom was a gift from Elm, on the other hand was very shy and quiet… he often hid behind her leg and even got scared of Ombre initially. He’s grown out of his shell but even now he’s just a bit timid.

The first pokemon she properly caught was Rocky the Phanpy, whom was kind of caught on accident? She stepped on her foot the wrong way, took a spill, and Rocky was kind of in the way. She accidentally got hit by a pokeball. It was on pure accident but neither parties seemed to mind, Rocky especially was pretty relaxed about it. And it didn’t take long for her to start wanting to carry Lyra around on her back.

Sprout the Hoppip was next, whom also kind of . Attached herself to her. One day she just kind of saw a flock of these passing by her eye and one landed on her hat. She’s probably the most docile of her pokemon. More often than not Lyra’s often sent running after her because she gets picked up by the wind and doesn’t really fight against if. But despite this she’s such a sweetie

Flan the Mareep was caught sort of because he was a dream pokemon for her. When Lyra set out on her journey to find herself she knew she wanted a Mareep since the very beginning. She saw one him . Just . Like. Collapsed into his fur, petting and cooing over him and everything. And Flan was the only one she set out on her journey to catch. Flan’s a bit of a brat, a bit sassy, is picky with his food, and especially starts (play) fights with Ombre. But just because he’s the smuggest sheep around doesn’t mean he isn’t just as protective of his teammates.

Drizzle the Wooper was a bit of a pest initially actually. Like Sprout, she too kind of latched herself onto Lyra. But like Lyra never really realized she was attached to her until later on down the line when she finds Sprout eating her food. Lyra thought it was really cute though, cooing over her and just giving her more food even though Drizzle was . Already stealing hers. Despite being a bit empty headed though, as most of her kind is, Drizzle is quite naughty. Often getting her head stuck in boxes and splashing Lyra with water. Although it’s never malicious. She’s just a bad Wooper. She’s also best friends with Rocky.

DR POKÉMON TEAMS

Kris!

1. Honedge/Aegislash: This is a reference to Kris's love of blades, and their knightly form in Dark Worlds. It is also a reference to their father's team in an alternate universe, and the Honedge that Chara has in Pokémon Undertale. I like to think it changes forms between worlds, becoming stronger and fully evolved in Dark Worlds so it's shield can be used to protect Kris and the people they care about.

2. Espeon☆/Umbreon☆: This Pokémon changes form depending on which world it's in at the time. It is a reference to Frisk's Eevee and to Kris's neutral-looking face. Its green colouration as shiny Espeon matches Kris in the Light World. The blue in shiny Umbreon matches their Dark World form. A lot of people consider Espeon's shiny to be ugly or weird; it resembles an alien, much in the way monsters in Hometown tend to think Kris is a freak, and how they stand out as the only Human. While Espeon is associated with sunlight and the day time, Umbreon is associated with moonlight and the night time.

3. Ralts: The same gender-neutral Pokémon shared by Chara and Frisk that can change into two different forms. For Kris, I imagine it evolves into a Gallade to reference Kris's knight-like appearance in the Dark World. As Gallade, this Pokémon fights fiercely to protect people it cares about. It would probably be one of Kris's most-used Pokémon, and would probably stay outside of its Pokéball in the Dark World to assist Kris with protecting their friends. I also like to think Gallade would look like its shiny form in the Dark World, since Gallade's shiny is blue...like Kris.

4. Applin/Flapple: A reference not only to Kris's apple-scented shampoo, but also their affinity for pie...which they apparently eat entirely in one sitting...It's a good thing Kris's childhood Applin didn't evolve into an Appletun! I think Kris was probably disappointed by that, though. Don't eat your Pokémon, Kris!! Applin's Dark World evolution, Flapple, is part dragon type, a nod to the typical "knight and dragon" dynamic. Kris is the knight, and Flapple is the dragon!

5. Gengar: A reference to Chara's Gastly, this Pokémon is associated with mischief, pranks, and hiding in the shadows. It likes to hide in dark places, and is sometimes said to be able to travel to other worlds or come from another world. It is also said to come out at night to "steal the lives of those who become lost in the mountains". It also has red eyes like Kris.

6. Alakazam: This Pokémon is not only a reference to Frisk's Abra and the need for sleep (which Kris apparently does in class quite often, accoding to Alphys), this is also a call-back to Kris researching the occult with Catti and being seemingly interested in the concept of performing magic (given their online search history), possibly in the hopes of becoming more monster-like such as the rest of their family.

As for Kris's Legendary and Mythical...let's complete what we've got going with Susie and Ralsei!

Kyogre: Kyogre is one of three ancient Pokémon, one that I imagine would be part of the Pokémon Deltarune's prophecy of the Three Heroes. It's blue like Kris and works in opposition to Susie's Groudon, but can also work with it to bring balance rather than destruction. Kyogre's water typing can reference fountains, roaring, and a sea of darkness splitting the earth and enveloping the world. It is said to sleep at the bottom of the sea.

Deoxys: This Pokémon is humanoid and comes from outer space. Its alien theming goes with Kris's Espeon, but also touches on Kris's alienation from the Monsters of Hometown (being the only Human we know of who lives there). Deoxys' ability to change forms could reference Kris's SOUL changing forms in various chapters. The stone in Deoxys' chest, which is what controls its whole body, could reference the Human SOUL in Kris's chest that controls them.

How I interpret the core series multiverse

Something I've been thinking over since, around the BDSP/PLA release cycle, is how many timelines exist in the Pokemon multiverse? Well, I think I've come up with about six different timelines, including the timeline Masters takes place in. If you'll all indulge me for a moment or two, I'll lay out the multiverse as I see it:

Classic Timeline:

Yellow

Emerald

Crystal

Platinum

Nothing more complicated here than putting the third versions together, because, let's face it, these WERE the canon versions back in the day! I want to make particular note of Platinum, as I believe Cyrus's actions at the Spear Pillar not only created two entirely different universes, but completely rewrote their histories, given that Dialga's power over time includes future AND past.

Diamond timeline:

FireRed

Ruby

HeartGold

Diamond

Black

Black 2

X

Sun

Sword

Scarlet

So named because this universe is most heavily influenced by Dialga, the Diamond timeline consists of whatever versions the male protags are named after in Adventures. However, Scarlet will be a constant across this and the Pearl timeline, for reasons we'll get into later.

Pearl timeline:

LeafGreen

Sapphire

SoulSilver

Pearl

White

White 2

Y

Moon

Shield

Scarlet

Being the Palkia-influenced universe, you'll find several connections to Palkia's Water-typing, mainly in Kyogre, Lugia, and Lunala. Aside from that, these are mostly the opposite versions to the Diamond timeline. Once again, Scarlet is constant between the two, which of course I'll explain.

Omega timeline:

Let's Go Pikachu

Omega Ruby

Let's Go Johto

Brilliant Diamond

Black remake

Black 2 remake

X remake

Ultra Sun

Sword

Violet

These games are largely alternate universes to the Diamond timeline, some of which haven't even been announced yet, so I guess I have to explain that.

As Mega Evolution was originally stated to be recently discovered in Kalos, that flies in the face of Let's Go Pikachu and Omega Ruby, which prominently feature Mega Evolution prior to the Kalos games, so I grouped them into a timeline together. Speaking of Let's Go, we can safely assume a version of the Johto story occurs three years after that.

Brilliant Diamond is grouped here mostly for its inclusion of the Fairy-type, but I'm willing to bet that when Unova gets remade, Cynthia will reference Dialga in Black, but Palkia in White. And Kalos remakes will most likely retconning the Fairy-type as a long-known commodity.

Ultra Sun is explicitly an alternate Sun, and is the whole reason this and the Alpha timeline are a thing in the first place.

The reason I put Scarlet in both the Diamond and Pearl timelines is because of the possibility that AI Sada travelling to the ancient past causing a butterfly effect that would cause Violet's events to play out instead of Scarlet's.

Alpha timeline:

Let's Go Eevee

Alpha Sapphire

Let's Go Johto

Shining Pearl

White remake

White 2 remake

Y remake

Ultra Moon

Shield

Violet

I won't bore you all by repeating the same logic behind the Omega timeline, just swap out the opposite versions other than Scarlet.

Masters timeline:

FireRed

SoulSilver/Crystal hybrid

Omega Ruby/Emerald hybrid

Platinum

Black

Black 2

X

Ulltra Sun/Ultra Moon

Sword

Scarlet

Masters is somewhat less rigid with its timeline than the ones I've pieced together, but at least there's no need to fret over a Kanto title. Still, I'm going with FireRed just because Red picked Charmander.

I put SoulSilver AND Crystal, not because I believe they're both canon, but because Kris exists, and so I'm assigning her the Suicune sidequest. As for SoulSilver over HeartGold, Ethan seems to have caught Lugia, but not Ho-oh, so I think that settles that.

Similarly, I'm inclined to count Omega Ruby as the canon game because Steven's mindscape features the Groudon mural, and also Brendan as Norman's son has Latios, which would only be the case in Omega Ruby. However, I believe the Masters Hoenn story follows Emerald more closely, as if you look at the team admins' mindscapes, then Tabitha's is the mouth of Mt. Chimney, and Matt's is the remodeled submarine, both roles that Emerald assigned the two teams.

Platinum is explicitly canon to Masters, as Cheryl namedrops the Distortion World, with Cyrus even having both dragons before Dialga abandons him for Lucas.

Hilbert, portrayed as the canon BW1 protagonist, has his base unit's sync move as "The True Razor Shell," and N comes into the game with Zekrom as his base pair, so Black is almost certainly the canon version. Also, Nate recognizes Black Kyurem when Ghetsis tries to make Kyurem absorb Zekrom, so Black 2 almost certainly happened.

There are effectively zero indications of X or Y being the canon version. Lysandre doesn't even count since he wasn't believed to have survived Geosenge Town! That being said, most of Calem and Serena's Pokemon use the Dex entries from X, so until one version or another is confirmed, I'm rolling with X solely on that.

The Ultra games were confirmed since launch, but until Nebby makes an appearance, we won't know for sure whether it's Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon.

Gloria has Zacian, Hop has Zamazenta. Sword is canon, case closed.

Scarlet seems to be canon, based on Nemona wearing the Naranja Academy uniform, but I'd like to see the protags and Arven get added first before making a judgement call. Hoopa shenanigans, and all that.

So out of the natural infinity of multiverse theory, there are at least six timelines in the Pokemon core series multiverse. I mean, technically, there are ten bad timelines where the villains actually win, but those don't make for good worldbuilding (or, multiverse building. Building a multiverse, doesn't get nerdier than that...).

[wrestlezon]

ok heres my hot take on wrestler-pokemon teams... for the best friends.

there are 1,012 pokemon that exist nowadays so the sky is the limit and you can choose whatever fits your agenda. which is what i did. i picked pokemon that fit my agenda. if you dont like my agenda thats fine. you should tell people your personal pokemon agenda by forming teams of your own.

ive placed my wall of text under a readmore for your benefit:

i think its important that neither chuck nor trent have "competitive" teams with optimal pokemon, but they probably have moves/items/very specific gimmick setups that could catch someone off guard (akin to the legendary world champion pachirisu moment).

chuck:

swadloon is cute and grumpy (and im biased because its one of my favorites). karrablast looks like it'd run around yelling "murder" but also karrablasts have a unique evolution dynamic with shelmets which i gave to trent. its important that i dont think they would ever trade those two, ever. i also dont think they'd even know they'd evolve from it. crobat evolves from high friendship with a golbat which is so cute especially because its such a mean lookin' thing. lillipup is just walter straight up. heracross is a friendly fighting bug, i didnt really have much heart in this choice (now that i think about it, i would swap it out with something more reminiscent of swamp monster maybe) pignite is self explanatory, but also i needed/wanted to give him a starter pokemon and not just a whole bunch of small cute weak things.

trent:

shelmet, see above. raboot is just a cool and chill looking pokemon that looks like it exercises a lot, without being one of the more obvious workout pokemon types like machamp or w/e. then we have three dogs (boltund, arcanine, granbull) because he loves dogs. the idea of trent also just having a basic ass diglett makes me laugh. no deep explanation there. he just inexplicably has a diglett

orange:

i think 100% that orange has an espurr that is constantly just staring and creeping everyone out so they give it a pair of sunglasses to wear so they wouldn't see that. dunsparce is just because i think itd be funny if he had a tsuchinoko. emolga would be something he's had since the fire ant days. gloom because it looks like that. marshadow wouldnt specifically belong to him so much as it would be this legendary mythical pokemon that hides in his shadow that people rarely ever see (but i also think marshadows' thing with their fighting spirit matches with orange's temperment). i begrudgingly added snorlax, which seems like too much of an obvious choice. maybe a komala would work too. whatever. maybe infernape would work for orange too, but i have a personal bias against infernape. i do think he could use some sort of trickster jokester pokemon, maybe i'd replace dunsparce with one of those...

kris:

most of these were recommended/suggested to me and i agreed with them. two aliens because of course, but also: i still miss the alien gimmick. a luxio because last we saw her she had blue in her hair. a ponyta because its cool and tough and cute. vaporeons rule. and i really like the new farigiraf from the latest pokemon.

i also think the entire stable should also share custody over a shroomish, just because i think itd be funny:

special bonus, yuta:

(his eevee would evolve to a jolteon or something post-best friends)

double special bonus:

i think danielson would have a perrserker and the dark order (one, or all of them?) would have a falinks.

Fankidtober Day 1: Suzu-Belle (Silver/Lyra)

Name: Suzu (Unovan Name: Belle) Setsuko

Verse: Gameverse

Family: Lyra Setsuko (Mother), Silver Setsuko (Father), Giovanni Sakaki (Estranged Grandfather), Mars Meissa (Estranged Grandmother), Melody Setsuko (Grandmother), Reed Setsuko (Grandfather), Kristal “Kris” Setsuko (Aunt), Quincy Setsuko (Cousin)

Gender & Pronouns: Cisgender Female, She/Her

DOB & Age: June 8th, 13

Final Pokémon Team: Chingling, Espeon, Togekiss, Ninetails, Typhlosion

INFO

Suzu is Lyra and Silver’s only child, but is very close with her cousin, Quincy, considering her to be an older sister of sorts. She’s also very close with the Goldman boys, Logan and Noah. She travels with both of them, and Quincy sometimes accompanies them as a chaperone.

Her dream, at first, is to become a Kimono Girl, looking up to them very much, even getting her hands on an Eevee, but after a lot of time, she realized she couldn’t do it anymore, as she had too much energy to be a calm, meditive Kimono Girl. She struggles for a long time on what she wants to do after that… But all she knows currently is that she will bounce back!

Unit Viability Speculation - Eeveelutions

Okay, let me preface what will be said below this.  I hate this.  Why are they limited?  Apparently they did get 1.5% rates after all, but like...these units do not feel anywhere near Pokefair level, so why are they limited?  They’re limited, and not even with a 10% 5* rate, just 7%?  And why are they introduced as a cluster?  What if you only want one?  It just kinda sucks, is all.

Unfortunately they nailed it because Kris is here.  With the worst Eeveelution, but I did want an alternative for Electric-types.

All of them operate similarly.  One-bar spam, status thing, three-bar AoE, trainer move that boosts one stat just for them and another for the team, sets field effect for their type on sync, debuff centric passive that makes the AoE good, Synchro Healing on grid.  I actually like the structure a lot.  I just wish this wasn’t such a mess.

Lucas and Flareon...I said I wasn’t gonna be pissy.  Flareon’s my favorite, I notoriously don’t like the male protags, I’m not happy, but the unit itself is okay.  Raises his own crit, raises team special attack, not bad at all friend.  He also prevents all status conditions under Sun, which...not gonna lie, pretty poggers of you, kid.  SS Morty loves that shit.  He gets Solar Sync 5 and Brainpower (Seriously, if Caitlin doesn’t get this on expansion...), and his debuffs are attack/special defense.  So he is Lucian-esque.  But worse.  Lucian has the benefit of only thriving off sync, which combos beautifully with his Growl spam, which is not just debuffs but growing speed buffs for gauge control, all in a one-bar move.  Lucas, comparatively, needs 3-bars per move, has no speed control, and desperately needs to set up his own offenses given the team support effect in it.  Lucas and Flareon are a worse Lucian if you consider them solely by debuffs, but the wide range of effects, including setting Sun and providing team immunity to status while under Sun, makes him an interesting pick.  Notably, SS Morty goes great with this guy, packing Sun, defense boosts for the team, and best of all, speed control that Lucas otherwise lacks.  This legitimately isn’t too bad.

Lyra gets Fake Tears as her status, and can debuff accuracy with Muddy Water as her AoE.  Trainer move raises her special attack, and team speed, which is very nice.  She prevents crits under Rain, which is incredible I think, and her debuff is to speed, so there’s another savior for F2P Cakewalk users.  What’s odd is that, unless I’m misreading, Lyra focuses on attack and speed debuffs, but her multipliers are based on lowering special defense.  I’m not sure how it connects, I may be missing something, but I’m running out of time.  The overall is I think she’s worse than Lucas.

My girl Kris.  She buffs her own special attack, and team’s crit rate.  Baller.  Kris sets Electric Terrain each sync, eat shit NY!Volkner, and prevents stat drops.  It’s...less useful than the other two.  The debuff is to a foe’s evasiveness, which is...a choice.  It’s the least useful by a mile.  Until you realize the grid debuff is special attack.  We have ourselves another Cresselia counter, lads.  This is Budget SC Rosa.  She’s not strictly bad, but like...look, we just had the most insane powercreep on Electric-types.  If you got Red and Ash, do not bother.  Hell, with N getting 5/5 grid, do not bother.  But I really like Kris, and am decisively underwhelmed by the rest of the month, so I might.  Do not weep for me, friends.  I did this to myself.

Lucas is de-facto the best of the three.  His debuffs are actually useful in every capacity.  Lyra’s super niche and seems to need the most help, while Kris isn’t intrinsically bad, but is niche and locked to Cress counter status and may not even be that good at it.  Given the awful rates, the lack of anything new, and the fact that even their best underperforms compared to a permanently available general pool unit, do not pull on this.  It sucks.

kris kawamoto..... (CAR CRASH) (EXPLOSION) (GENERAL COMMOTION) (GOOD LORD!) (BABY CRYING) (MY LEEEEEG) (WILHELM SCREAM) (THIS IS CHANNEL 5 REPORTING LIVE) (PLANE CRASH)

SHE'S JUST SOOOOO (CAT EXPLOSION GIF)

I can't stop thinking about her and her circumstances. and her emotions. and her relationship with lyra. and jsut (squishes her)

like i can't stress enough how fucking sad everything is for her. like imagine you died and you though that'd be the end of the story. but instead you wake up in a computer screen completely different from what you once knew with all your memories, including those of your family and friends and school and pokemon and your DEATH, and then you see someone who took your place in life including everything you had. And now your stuck in a purgatory-like state. while you watch that person continue to take it away from you.

and then that person is nothing like you!!

like lyra is just a very sweet girl who is so oblivious to her part in the world as kris's replacement. she's so empathetic and cares so much to the point where it becomes her downfall. whereas you have a spiteful and mean streak!! her love and kindness is so overpowering it feels almost antagonizing to you.

she's the ever blinding, warm, healing sun, that burns and overshadows you, the moon, the one forgotten, the one that comes out when no one acknowledges you.

LIKE!!!!!! (WILHELM SCREAM)

and like she's a tad bit goofy, hot headed, and smug, very very cocky, but LIKE she's so very very lonely and in pain seeing a life she had taken away from her because her uncle loved her too much.

i think about her a very normal amount

anyways imagine these lyrics from the angelfish loved by god but with kris with "that person" being bill and "you" being lyra.

AND LIKE IT CAME TO ME OF LIKE A PLOT POINT OF ETHAN GETTING TO SEE KRIS'S BACKSTORY OR A LITTLE MIND WORLD IN THE STYLE OF THE GBC GAMES AND YOU JUST SEEE WHAT HAPPENED TO HER.

you see her get an eevee from bill on her birthday, her first pokemon, with him and her family telling her "happy birthday." (and now that girl is told happy birthday surrounded by your family, when it's also your birthday on the same day, but you're celebrating alone.)

i just

think

she's neat

[the-tubort]

Today's Eevee Day and I think that's beautiful and I think it's super beautiful Pokemon Masters blessed me with Kris, Lucas, and Selene so far. I just need Elio and Lyra and then I'll be so happy

[sparklingdemon]

So i know you had gotten a few asks relating to pokemon masters Leaf back during the fallen leaf ask blog, but i gotta ask:

How do you feel that they've at tried to give her a bit more personality? I know (at least when you were writing as leaf) that you were annoyed when she started out just kinda obsessing over her Eevee, so im genuinely curious since now this version of her has had a bit more time to shine (the finale chapter of the tournament arc, the kanto villain chapter, victory road, and i think a few others?

(also unrelated but im thinking of a possible sequel to my battle factory pasta? Only issue is that the thing im coming up with seems a bit goofy and over the top, which while it might be fun to write its kinda the exact opposite of the original lol)

The problem with commenting on media as it's still being released is that it makes my initial commentary seem shallow in comparison to the new content. Unfortunately, my opinion remains relatively the same. Despite her having a "personality", we still don't know much about her.

Masters tries to sell the idea that she was actually Red and Blue's friend and neighbor the whole time, when this is objectively not true in the mainline titles where Red and Blue appear.

They handwave her canon absence by having Leaf say that they "all took different paths" after their Kanto journey, to justify/”explain” why she didn't appear in HGSS, BW2 and SUMO. However, this dialogue then suggests that Leaf is not as important or close to Red and Blue as they are to each other, and that she is not their equal in a trio of rivals.

Despite it being Leaf's idea to form a team with Red and Blue, all characters only ever call their team "Red's team."

Leaf appears alongside Red in certain Sync Pair Stories (A Day with Red and A Day with Sygna Suit Kris to name two). She only appears here to give exposition on Red's behalf, talking about his experiences because he cannot himself.

We never learn anything significant about Leaf's own adventure through Kanto, because she only ever speaks of Red and Blue, acting as a supporting character to them and their story.

Leaf's personality is not what matters to me, because the whole purpose of Pokemon Masters is to give a personality to the player characters who didn't have it. Her personality could have been anything, and that would not change the root of my problem with it.

My problem is that Leaf's personality was constructed because of her absence, and she spends all of her screen-time trying to make up for lost time by attempting to convince the audience that she's been Red and Blue's friend the entire time. Because of this, she fails to stand out as an individual character to me.

We know nothing about Leaf as a character other than "she was here the whole time."

This is not just a problem I have with Leaf, though. Masters has a nasty habit of making the boy character the main hero. Red, Ethan, Brendan, Lucas, Hilbert, and Calem are ALL the confirmed heroes of this universe that fought their respective villain teams. Leaf's personality feels interchangeable with all of the other girl protagonists always being stuck in the supporting role.

I find that Leaf is the most pertinent example of this, however. If you play as a boy in the mainline games, the girl character will be your secondary rival and assist you throughout your adventure. The exception to this is Leaf, who only existed as Red's girl counterpart.

Therefore, when Leaf speaks of being friends with Red and Blue in Masters, we do not know her significance to their adventure or what role she had in it.

The audience is forced to rely on Leaf telling us what her relationship with Red and Blue was, instead of showing it by having her appear in the mainline games. Her personality does not matter to me, because we do not know her accomplishments. As it stands, she has no accomplishments, because Kanto’s story had no room for her in it.

I find Leaf's appearance in Masters to be little more than frivolous fanservice that attempts to excuse or justify her absence in the mainline games, and it is impossible for me to ignore that when playing.

I feel as though this ask still best summarizes my opinions of Masters!Leaf.

Despite everything, I still don’t know who she is, what she’s done, or how she became friends with Red and Blue. And I don’t know if I’ll ever find out.

sorry for ending that on such a bummer note though!!

good luck writing the sequel to your battle factory pasta! i hope you can find a good balance between the tone you established in the original vs the off-the-rails ideas you have now! 

the whole point of writing pokepastas these days is just to be a medium for creating fun characters and telling a convincing story, rather than being “realistic.”  many classic pastas can be considered “goofy” and “over the top” when looked upon in retrospect, so i think it’s okay to write whatever you have in mind!

So I've been wanting to do this for a while, this being going through the Dex in Masters and going over what Pokemon I think certain Trainers SHOULD have been given as their initial pair (or at least instead of certain Pokemon they DID end up getting). So, here we go:

MC and Litten: I mean, if you're gonna give us an unevolving base form Fire starter, then why wouldn't you give us Litten, when you know The Masked Royal is getting Incineroar either way, and May is ultimately gonna want Blaziken with Brendan getting Sceptile?!? Major ball dropped there, DeNA!

Leaf and Charmander-Charmeleon-Mega Charizard Y: Mostly because I'm baffled Bill still isn't in this game (Happy Eevee Day 2024, everybody!), but if nothing else this establishes her as an equal protagonist to Red, she can still get Venusaur for her Sygna Suit, and she's clearly getting Blastoise via Mix Scout! But then Red has to get a Blastoise alt somewhere... Meh. Give him Gigantamax Blastoise and just leave Honey with Venusaur when she comes.

Lyra and Marill: I'm sorry, she's CLEARLY the HGSS neighbor, yet to this day we have no sign of her Marill?!?!? Make it make sense, DeNA!

Kris and Meganium: With Lyra getting Marill, obviously Meganium goes to Kris.

Silver and Totodile-Croconaw-Feraligatr: He did end up getting it via Lodge, but if Lyra gets Marill like she's SUPPOSED TO, then there's no need for that nonsense!

Bugsy and Scyther: I mean, we DID get that pair for free in the end, but I don't see why Beedrill was the play when it didn't necessarily need to be.

Morty and Ho-oh: Not shiny Ho-oh, REGULAR Ho-oh! Gengar was off the table anyway, so why NOT give him the Ho-oh he'd been longing for?!

Pryce and Piloswine-Mamoswine: Inexcusable that he didn't have this from the word go!

Janine and Venomoth: Once again, WHY WASN'T HER CANON ACE HER BASE PAIR?!?

Eusine and Haunter: Could've played off of it being ridable in Let's Go, and thus Eusine's preferred transport.

May and Torchic-Combusken-Mega Blaziken: Once again, MC could've had Litten, which wouldn't actually CONFLICT with anything, and then her Anniversary alt with Latias becomes her Sygna Suit! And it's replaced by Elesa and Therian Thundurus, I dunno.

Glacia and Walrein: Once again, arbitrarily not giving a Trainer their ace WHY again?!?

Barry and Staraptor: So let me get this straight: you KNEW Infernape was off-limits to the protags because of Flint, and yet you give Barry Empoleon, leaving Dawn to settle for Torterra, which against all canon is STRONG to Torterra instead of weak to it?!?

Candice and Froslass: If your plan was to establish PLATINUM as the canon game, then it stands to reason you would give Candice her PLATINUM ace, does it not?!?

Volkner and Electivire: Same applies here!

Aaron and Drapion: So let me get this straight: Hala, a FIGHTING specialist, comes to the game as an ICE unit, yet Aaron can't get HIS ace off-type?!? DeNA, what are you smoking, and may I PLEASE have some?!?

Bertha and Hippowdon: She already came that way, I'm just pointing out that I'm cool with Bertha not getting Rhyperior given she dropped post-BDSP.

Flint and Magmortar: Flint ESPECIALLY needed his Platinum ace when you consider his Infernape inherently fucks everything for Lucas and Dawn!

Lucian and Bronzong: I have no idea what you give Thorton in this case. Maybe Porygon2? Forretress?

Marlon and Jellicent: Arbitrarily not giving certain Trainers their ace again!

Caitlin and Gothitelle: Here we go again with random Trainers not getting their ace! I guess it's the Pokemon Alder represents her with in the PWT, but by that logic, he uses Krookodile for Grimsley!

Calem and Froakie-Frogadier-Greninja: No issues with Espurr being his base, but then why is HIS Neo Champion Greninja shiny and not Serena's?!?

Viola and Meadow Pattern Vivillon: She could very easily have gotten Frosmoth during her Holiday event, rather than a randomly wrong pattern Vivillon!

Ramos and Gogoat: DeNA and not giving Trainers their aces, name a more iconic duo!

Olympia and Female Meowstic: This is a very disturbing trend, DeNA!

Siebold and Barbaracle: Here we go again with Trainers randomly not getting their ace!

Drasna and Noivern: This is an ESPECIALLY egregious case of a Trainer not getting their ace, since DRAGAGLE AND NOIVERN WERE BOTH IN THE GAME BEFORE DRASNA EVER WAS!!! There's no goddamn excuse for dropping this ball so hard!

Lillie and Solgaleo: Should've gotten the one from the Legendary Event. Or at least give that to Soliera...

Lusamine and Bewear: I know Lusamine has no true ace, but Bewear is the best parallel to her smothering affection for Lillie and Gladion, so I was SORELY disappointed when she came with Pheromosa.

Anabel and Guzzlord: I dunno, I really wanted her to get a Guzzlord. Come with a cute story about how she thought it would kill her, but it only inspected her for a bit before she decided to catch it. Maybe add some flavor text about its codename being Glutton, yet only eating when she feeds it and just, generally being a very good boi.

Anniversary Raihan and Regidrago: Really?! You REALLY can't be bothered to give him a Legendary like the other two Trainers in that event?!?

Wow... I did NOT realize just how many Trainers DeNA denied their actual aces! By my count, 16 if we don't count the Platinum aces! Obviously there were some I didn't count for reasons of dupes (Lt. Surge and Raichu), future appearances (Grimsley and Bisharp) or reasons of synergy between certain pairs (Clay and Excadrill), but some had next to no logic behind them and were baffling to me.
