Pokemon IRL Au: starters, theories, and Domestication.

So I was watching one of those, 'What If (-this state-) had starter pokemon' videos and i just kinda went off with my imagination, this prompt starts with my initial comment on the video, so sorry that it just flow as well as it does when seen as a comment on a video.

The mental image of the version of our world where pokemon exist, and each State apparently selectively breeding their own unique set of starters and probably have a f**k ton of 'regional variants' that are basically just a paldea Tauros situation all over the country just scrambles my brain a bit to much.

Like one states starter has a evolutionary ancestor thats treated like a infestation in some of the other states! A raccoon pokemon starter that now has three stages, when in some of the other states a raccoon pokemon that the starter descended from is a two stage, but its evolved form is strong as f**k, like pseudo legendary status strong!

imagine all the regular pokemon we know that had populations caught and domesticated into starter pokemon, that'd be so freaking cool! like, they'd have to breed with other pokemon of the same egg group to be made a certain type and desired move set. imagine the type of breeding methods it takes to develope the Torrent, Overgrow, and Blaze abilitys, we all know there's a bug type version called Swarm, but how do they develope in the breeding of starter pokemon. if you think about it from the stand point of, gain more power when your backs against the wall, it becomes a little morbid in a sense. Do you actively have them fight in a way that forces them to give it beyond their all when they are in trouble?

imagine if the Elemental monkeys were an attempt to breed some starter pokemon from the same evolutionary(darwinian) ancestor, but the original breeders(who were probably spread across the world in different isolated places, and swapped around certain members to other breeders to prevent incest breeding) stopped part way through, and just released the monkeys, and because they all lived together in labs the trio of species naturally are drawn too and live along side each other! makes me curious about the original, maybe it was a triple branch evo, that leads to a dual type in each one, which is why it was chosen, and where the stone evolution was from. Maybe it wasn't even the same types as the elemental monkeys, but were secondary typings, like a normal type that evolves into three dual types of Dark/fire, Psychic/water, or Ghost/Grass using the Dusk, Dawn, and shiny stones? I wonder what the final results would have been like, maybe they would have a hidden ability that allowed them apply Stab to moves based on the type of evo stone they were holding! The theme these three had was Chefs if I remember correctly.

I'm sure some species had the triple stage evos naturally, but I'm certain not all of them had them.

I'd love to see domesticated descendants of known pokemon that were breed into starter pokemon, like a Fire starter that descended from Lucario, of course none of the stages could be called Lucario after its domestication and breeding.

Maybe I should do something with this? Like I come up with a large group of wild fakemon based on animals found in my state and those around it, and choose three to be made into starters, I'll probably use that Raccoon example, I've been seeing alot of Raccoon recently, but only as roadkill, which is pretty morbid, but also a somewhat good inspiration, ghost typing, but for the wild ancestor thats still running around.

-maybe in this Au, someone has actually bred The Shinx line to be Dark type? Though I never understood everyone's obsession with being mad about that, Incineroar is literally a wrestler, I dont see people being mad its not a fire/fighting type, and I don't care about if its because of the drama of Fire/Fighting type starters. Same thing with Absol, it has Psychic powers to perceive incoming disasters, and its a pure dark type, I dont see people getting mad about that! Its dark type literally only aligns with its emo obsession of needing to be mysterious and socially awkward!

-also, this breeding thing could contribute to more powerful versions of pokemon. Mega evolutions literally just stacks the biological potential of the pokemon into what it'll naturally develope into in the future, and unlocks some dormant genes. I'm sure you could literally breed that kind of result into a species. Maybe its how 'mega evolution' could exist in this universe, just, literal battle bred breeds of pokemon. I'm sure the tributes of the Primal Paradox pokemons designs could work for 'Mega Bred' breeds. Maybe the idea developed from some old action show, and the show used the fictional 'mega evolution' as the gimmick in it, and people just, liked it and applied natural logic and science to it and bred these Uber strong pokemon.

-the gender ratio of starter pokemon was also likely bred on purpose, and likely most females are held so its harder for others to bred their own for a profit.

MERSKELES PART 3!

Definitely not mermay anymore but here's the last 3 sirens I wanted to do

and some explanation on why I choose what I did under the cut

(little warning for parasites on fresh's section)

So from left to right

Dream is a golden colored koi carp fish, I picked it because they are very pretty and they represent a lot of positive things like luck and fortune, some people even wish on them to make their dreams come true :> I also thought of the legend where a golden koi fish climbs a large waterfall to turn into a dragon, so they have some mythical legends as well. In terms of the actual fish, Koi are very sociable and sturdy, they also live for quite awhile.

Nightmare is a coelacanth, he should probably be an octopus considering he has tentacles, but I really wanted to make him a coelacanth because I think they are neat. Coelacanth's are very old with the latest fossils being over 400 million years old, they were thought to be extinct until one was found in 1938, grandpa nightmare. They are also nocturnal, sleeping in caves during the day, they live deep in the ocean as well. 

Fresh is actually a two in one, he is a rainbow parrotfish with a tongue-eating louse in his mouth. Out of alI the bright fish I did a parrotfish because I really like their gradients, and I think the magenta fins fit his jacket. He's a parasite inside of a Sans body, so I picked a fish parasite to go along with the fish half of his body. I chose the tongue-eating louse, a type of parasite that replaces a fish's tongue. It first severs the blood vessels to the tongue and once it falls off takes its place. feeding on nutrients and acting as a new tongue for the rest of the fish's life, very cool and terrifying.

controversial opinion is that i dont think pokemon shouldve phased out irl animals existing and i dont think it should be seen as weird that they did. there should be debates inuniverse over whether its better to have a meowth or a regular cat as a pet because the meowth could get you some money but might learn the wrong moves and break your pipes, while the cat doesnt have any powers or quirks but it’s easier to manage

[puppetmaster13u]

Would anyone be interested in a pokemon cryptid batfam Au?

Like, Pokemon just being a Gotham thing thanks to all the magic curses, the many, many, chemicals everywhere, the canonical reality warping and all of that. Like the local plants and fauna just started mutating and evolving like that.

And Batman was originally seen as some sort of cryptid or living shadow sort of creature. So with the rapidly changing flora and fauna going around in Gotham, someone is eventually going to put forth the idea of some sort of mutated person or creature.

And I am just saying, Bruce has a weird sense of humor. He would probably find such rumors hilarious. He might even say, lean into them. He might say, commit to the bit.

And then forget to mention it to anyone else once the League is formed. It might completely slip his mind that they're not in the know like the batfamily members

Hah. The meatsacks think those treasures are what I’m after huh? Coulda kept myself quiet but-it’s hilarious they think they can get one over on me! Del and I have other plans, kids-you’re gonna-

[the-boy-and-the-poison-puppeteer]

I'm just a bystander to this conflict, but maybe you should do something about this memory problem of yours Kieran.

Trust me, you're gonna go crazy trying to separate what's true and what are lies. So why don't you think of a plan or I don't know ask Dokutaro or something to help you out with this?

// Btw Ari, I remembered a Toxic Chain discord mentioned before and it seemed interesting. Was there a link that was posted to join?

"... Alright. I'm gonna ask Dokutaro now."

(Kieran walks over to where Dokutaro is)

"Heyyyy Dokutaro! Um, could I happen to, you know, take control and stuff? I.... I wanted to see... my friends and family again. And.... I'm not sure if I want to keep doing the whole deal thing...."

"..... you want to do what now?!"

"I mean, it just gets kinda of lonely here, you know? I can't really do much, and I want to see them again, the real ones."

"And you never really gave me what I wanted, so yeah."

(Dokutaro seems to be thinking it over. Eventually he speaks again, his tone agitated)

"The only time you come to speak to me is to say you want to leave? No thanks or anything?! Did everything I do mean nothing to you?!"

"......"

//ANIMATIC TIME YIPPPIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

( @goroakechidetectiveprince )

it hadn’t even taken the flying taxi five seconds away from the ground for Adriana to attempt to squirm her way out-hardly taking much time to thank the driver as she rushed out onto the streets of Mesagoza. “Okay-…okay, be cool…deep breaths, you’re only looking for a needle in a haystack, remember what he taught you-“ she muttered to herself-and despite all of this, trying to calm her nerves almost felt impossible right now.

[You can hear some birds of some sort squawking in unison, as well as a familiar voice screaming for them to hurry up]

[Looking up, there's some sort of skytram, except it's not attached to anything and is being flown through the air...by the squawking flock of birds]

(He stares confused for a moment only to squint at the tram and finally see)

"GRUNKLE STAN!?"

@cobalt-cavalier, @rocketryu, @gymleadergarnet, @legendarypokemonphotographer

GUYS UH. YOU MIGHT WANNA TURN ON THE NEWS RIGHT FUCKING NOW.

[sincerely-sofie]

A question for Dusknoir if you’re still taking them!😊

Since you do most of the cooking in the house (presumably), what are everyone’s favorite foods (berries/gummis/desserts/flavors in general, for example)?

…Now, what is your favorite food, since you probably didn’t think to answer that for yourself at first?🥺

(I'm always open to receiving asks, especially this type! They're so fun! ☺️)
