#im bad at names

[insaneiceshard]

I want to hear about the pokemon x rainworld au. It sounds so cool and i totally havent been thinking ahiut something similar.

Okay first of all, THANK YOU FOR ASKING!!!!! I swear to god you're like the hyper fixation fairy, letting me indulge in info dumping and all.

Secondly, I've only played Pokemon X&Y, and that was a WHILE ago, so the information I remember might not be accurate for the AU nor fit it that well. That means I'd absolutely love anyone actually into Pokemon to add something, anything really, to this AU.

HAVING SAID THAT, here's everything I have so far~

One of the specific word building bits I want for this AU is for the Rain world universe be placed within the Pokemon universe. Like, all the lore, characters, everything, just take place within the magic system and vibes of Pokemon. So Ancients would obviously take the role of the humans, but here they're all still ascended and gone. The beings they left behind, both constructed and wild, have pokemon equivalents. Like maybe Red lizards resemble a fire type, vultures a flying or even dragon type, maybe stowaways could be dark or psychic typed!

I really like the idea of Iterators spending their days training or battling each other instead of looking for the solution. Of course there might be remnants of that culture, but I feel like most would be happy with their pokemon. Hell, maybe Moon or NSH could be gym leaders!

For the slugcats I really don't want to lean heavy into the pokemon vibe. I'll obviously design them accordingly, but I really like their simple designs so I just wanna add my own little touch. Though I fully imagine them being obtainable pokemon, for the wild ones at least. Spearmaster, Artificer, and Hunter would all be apart of their respective iterator's teams. SRS, FP, and NSH respectively.

I've only thought about pokedex entries and movesets a tiny bit, so all of what I have will be below:

Saint: Ghost & Ice type - The Lingering pokemon -Shadow Force -Haze -Nightmare -Calm Mind

Rivulet: Water type - The Savior pokemon -Baby Doll Eyes -???

Monk: Normal & Fairy type - The Benevolent pokemon -Play Rough -???

Artificer: Fire & Steel type - The Desolation pokemon

Gourmand: Normal type - The Guardian pokemon

Survivor: Normal type - The Wandering pokemon

Hunter: Poison type - The Cyst pokemon

Spearmaster: Normal & Dark type - The Messenger pokemon

I've thought about giving every scug a pokemon-esque name, but that's were my knowledge on the games end. And i'm bad at world play...

I have a few sketches on what Saint and Arti's sprites might look like, so here ya go!

I've already started of Saint so maybe I'll post that soon,,,

Anna Williams did not run through miles of forest nor face off with an infected with literally only a switchblade and sheer desperation all while fucking IN LABOR, then cut her daughter's umbilical cord with her own hands, clean her up, name her, love her, and hold her for hours even as she knew and felt that she was dying, prepared to stab herself with that same switchblade to save her baby, then beg her lifelong friend to take her girl somewhere safe where she could grow up happy and protected only for Marlene to fuckin sacrifice that girl, that baby she swore to her dying friend to take care of, for a shoddy at best chance to save an already irrevocably shattered world. Both the Williams ladies deserved better than that.

Damian's new classmate was what most people would deem as strange, Damian however could not see him as anything other than suspicious. Daniel Knight had joined in the midst of the school year, claiming to have moved here with his father Fredric Knight (first area of suspicion, a parent willingly moving both them and their child to Gotham) for a new start following his fathers divorce. The boy was reclusive when not spoken to directly, however he would not stop talking when a topic of his interest would come up. After searching further into his past (as he does with all his classmates) Damian found a relatively normal past, the only outstanding things being a noticeable drop in grades at the beginnings of freshman year relating to an undisclosed accident resulting in lichtenberg scarring starting from Daniels palm, and presumably up his arm being hidden by his sleeve. Apparently this accident left Daniel with irregular tremors and, every once in a blue moon, seizures. Damian had thought about taking this suspicious blockage of information to Tim or the Bat Computer to be bypassed, however the idea of sharing Daniel this cases existence with the rest of his family for some unexplained reason bothered him greatly, so Damian has come to the decision to figure out Knight’s true intentions on his own.

Meanwhile Danny’s just trying to live his new, semi-normal life in peace. After a reveal gone wrong results in some good old vivisection, Jazz Sam and Tucker recruit the help of Clockwork to find Danny a new home, where he can heal from both the physical and mental wounds. Clockwork ends up dumping Danny into the DC universe alongside Fright Knight, who was insistent on going with him, feeling responsible in helping to protect his young prince now since he feels he failed the first time. So with a bit of spacetime razzle dazzle, Tucker messing with stuff he probably shouldn't have messed with and a very tearful goodbye with promises to check in every day, Danny goes off to start his new life as Daniel Knight. It was going ok so far, he took half the year to himself, focusing on healing. Also so Frighty could adjust to the whole pretending to be human thing. Danny doesn't have any friends yet, and to be honest hasn't made the effort to make any (Jazz would be disappointed if she knew that), but there's this one boy in Danny's class who might be even weirder than him. Danny can feel Damian's eyes on him, knows how he follows him around without a sound (Danny really shouldn't be able to tell, he only knows because he isn't fully human(and in a weird way, Danny thinks that's kinda cool)), and whenever they do make eye contact Danny can see and feel the boy fluster and shy away.

Maybe he just needs a friend too.

Thinking about better call saul if the action took place in france just because I wanted to see them in cunty robes lmao. More thoughts under the cut!

Obviously the action and the whole premise of bcs/brba wouldn't work in france (legal system aside, the whole cartel and walter white storyline would have to suffer major changes due to social security and the mexican cartel well. not existing here stricto sensu). But let's talk about the real Important Stuff : their names

I think Howard Hamlin would work well as Edouard Hamelin. He looses the cool HH initials yes, but it works really well as a genuine french name imo, and Howard/Edouard are pretty close phonetically

Chuck could still be called Charles without any realism issue, but he'd be nicknamed Charlie rather than Chuck because that's what a french person would go for... nicknames don't work the same, yeah

Kimberly Wexler and James McGill, I have no idea lmao. James when translated becomes Jacques, but it's such a boomerish uncool name that I cannot resolve myself to call my boy like that. It's also one generation too old. Jimmy being born in '60 could technically be called Jacques, but it'd be old-fashioned, as it's a name mostly given to the kids of the decade that came before him. McGill is an irish name, so something funny could be making Jimmy a breton with a funky last name like Gall/LeGall ? That's hilarious to me. But who knows.

Saul Goodman is a pun, so this is even harder for me to conceptualize. Saul's marketing would definitely not work in france at all, as no one would realistically hire a lawyer with a puny name and such chaotic displays (+ I think ads for legal démarchage are illegal mind you). However, let's have a crack at it. It would have to be a pun based off an expression similar to "it's all good man", or implying something positive and familiar... I need to think on that one.
