Tomas in AU with Pokemon!!!

•Tomas is a strategist to the core. He carefully analyzes each opponent before the fight, choosing tactics that take into account not only the type of Pokemon, but also the nature of the trainer. His approach is to surprise the opponent with non-standard solutions and unexpected combinations of movements. Unfortunately, sometimes during a fight he is too impulsive and loses for this reason. •For Tomas, not only the strength of his Pokemon is important, but also their emotional state. He often spends time talking to them, checking how they are feeling and what is bothering them. In Shirai Ryu, he is known as a trainer who always puts the welfare of his Pokemon first. •Tomas dreams of one day leading his team to the title of Champion, representing Shirai Ryu on the world stage •Tomas starts every day with a morning workout with his team. He tries to run with them along the route around the Shirai Ryu Academy, then does a little warm-up and hones his fighting moves with his Pokemon. It is important for him to maintain both his and their physical shape in perfect condition. •In his free time, Tomas likes to cook for his Pokemon. He often tries different recipes for food, trying to create the perfect balance of taste and benefits.

•Tomas is proud to be a part of Shirai Ryu. He wears the symbols of the academy on his accessories and clothes, for which he is often called the most important fan of the academy.

•Tomas can't resist cute puppy Pokemon like Growlithe or Rockraff. He hides this weakness, but all his family knows that one puppy look and Tomas will melt.

•His official work uniform looks the same as his uniform in MK1. Tomas still doesn't understand why they have to wear these weird ninja outfits and carry all these fake weapons with them. He often brings it up as a question at dinner, for which he always gets from Kuai Liang a long lecture on how important it is to maintain an image and honor traditions. However, Tomas has never worn a uniform outside of Shirai Ryu. •Tomas has an Alolan Ninetails on his team. This Pokemon was a birthday present for little Smoke from Bi Han, who had just returned from a short vacation on the islands the day before. This gift was the first and last one from his older brother.

[fortuneravine]

official fortuneravine oc post

so you guys actually know who i'm talking about!! wahoo!!!!

Team Campfire - Fig (cyndaquil, she/any) + Chive (chikorita, she/her)

fig: not much of a talker, it's hard to get a read on her. her shyness gets read as being cool and mysterious, which she's fine with. content with her pokemon form, but takes a long time to get comfortable in it. has accidentally set more than a few things on fire

chive: much more outgoing than her partner, she does most of the talking for the team. very passionate about food and cooking, she hopes to open a cafe one day. always experimenting with random nuts and berries, with a little help from fig's flames

Team Obsidian - Mistral (totodile, she/they) + Cinder (vulpix, she/they)

mistral: seemingly has absolutely no sense of danger of self preservation, she's reckless and hardly ever thinks things through. scares the shit out of cinder on a daily basis by doing something stupid. a bit of a self-sacrificial idiot, they get it from grovyle

cinder: anxiety incarnate. absolute wet cat of a fox. she's wanted to be an explorer her whole life, but getting badly injured in a dungeon scared her away from it for a long time. much more calm and confident nowadays, getting dragged into dangerous situations by a certain gator forced her to get over a lot of her fears

Team Hydra - Ceru (oshawott, she/xe) + Olivine (axew, he/they)

ceru: the funny one. you may know her from my critically acclaimed shitposts. xe's the oshknwott that works at subway. didn't have a whole lot going for xem as a human, she's much happier with her life as a pokemon

olivine: ollie to his friends. absolute guy. kind to a fault. he loves to feel useful and help other pokemon, to the point they forgets to look after themself. loves his friends and will fight anyone who is mean to them

The Rapids- Mistral (totodile, she/they) + Basil (riolu, they/them)

mistral: yeah the same guy from team obsidian. don't ask me how that works in lore, i don't know. this version is a bit younger

basil: let's hear it for kids with Problems!!!! they're around 12 years old, with all the accompanying issues that come with being around 12 years old. they tend to come off as overly enthusiastic or annoying, they really struggled to make friends until mist came along. they put on a brave face, but they've got hella insecurities

[casualsnickers]

back at it again with another ref sheet that required an arm, a leg, my soul, and an unhealthy amount of references to make. it's for my pmd rrt/brt/ dx partner character, mangrove.

there's a ton of info that the sheet references but doesn't fully explain so i'll add it below in case anybody is interested

mangrove's ability may be sheer force but the only thing you'll want to 'force' is his head through drywall. he's such a brat. he was a major bully as a child and since nobody put him in his place, he grew up and evolved into an adult that knows his strength and knows exactly how to 'push' people in the right direction to get them to do what he wants even if that means getting somebody else's hands dirty. and nobody can do anything about it. fun.

mangrove is the son of high-ranking officials within the exploration federation; he's a nepo baby and he's proud of it. mangrove only ever established an exploration team as a coverup of 'collecting' items in dungeons and selling them to the kecleon brothers for ludicrous prices under threat of shutting down their business if they fail to comply. it's mostly the same thing for the rest of the merchants in pokemon square.

he formed a team with the hero character simply figuring out that he could use their amnesia for his own personal gain by making them do all the fighting for him under the guise of 'teaching' them. bonus points if the hero character eventually gains a dependence on him for knowledge, shelter, and food. he may not know much about humans or cryptic visions, but he does know how long certain pokemon can survive without food or water... do with that information what you will.

he's also known for being particularly violent in the theme of socially harassing and embarrassing people who piss him off but most of the time, he resorts to petty blackmail or extortion to get his dues; very rarely does he resort to physical violence unlike what the 'brass knuckle' objects on his hands might suggest. and fighting him is like trying to force your bare hand through concrete; he's got solid physical stats across the board and he equipped a detect band so that enemy hits rarely land. not to mention the fact that he's also a poison-type and the quills along his back detach. going for a blow should probably not be your first option when dealing with this monster.

despite his horrible reputation (literally nobody likes him) and nasty personality, mangrove does care about the people he uses including the hero character. he'd be loathe to lose one of his most prized (and skilled) possessions and as he would see it, having somebody in his corner is more important than any fancy jewel. he'd never say that out loud though.

*just to be specifically clear about his variant, it's a tropical sea variant from a region somewhat close to unova. this guy has the most stereotypical boston accent, it's ridiculous.

[leggerefiore]

cw: pokehybrid au,

characters: Cyrus, Grimsley

🌌Gyarados Cyrus General HCs🛰

☄️ A terrifying hybrid that is rarely spotted near the shores, but a sight nonetheless that can be seen. His body is decently fit despite the appearance his face may portray otherwise. Fins cover where his ears should be and barbels come to the sides of his mouth. Scales naturally cover his body and even more as his Gyarados fishtail comes closer to the meeting point at his waist. He is unmistakably a hybrid, which irritates him further. Sharp teeth are rarely seen due to his constant frown, but are easily able to ravish and destroy. A blue crest sits on his forehead and makes his rage seem more obvious while four sharp dorsal fins travel down his back.

☄️ The rage from his pokemon species truly does burn inside him, but he works tirelessly to suppress it. Emotions… Cyrus still does not enjoy them, nor does he wish to indulge any kind of feeling to cloud his judgement. Though, he can never truly admit he is not entirely above the violence of a Gyarados. His human part screams for dominance and usually wins, at least. He lives alone out in the waters, having grown up in the difficult blue around him. The torment he suffered in his youth left a hard imprint on his character.

☄️ His difficult upbringing came from neither of his parents wanting the annoyance that came with raising a Magikarp hybrid. Granted, their relationship had been one of arrangement and not of any minor affection. Their will was pressed on him from day one. He would never meet their expectations despite always reaching their goals. It was part of the reason he bid any life on the land a farewell to live in the ocean. Humanity society simply was not something that he had been made for. It became more and more obvious as Cyrus grew older.

☄️ Though, he did not live a life of isolation on land. People had grown to respect him and gather around him. They had been in denial when he suddenly rejected everything. Many came to the beach he had departed from to call for him or leave offerings. From a distance, he often spotted them waiting in the uniforms that he expected to go abandoned. None, but one who did not wear that uniform drew him to the shore. Unconscious memories of previous years haunted him as he swam towards the world of humans again.

☄️ Cyrus had fallen in love – as foolish as that would seem. A single human who had shown him kindness, no matter how useless that he was perceived as a Magikarp and then into his adulthood as a Gyarados. Embarrassing moments of mating behaviours unconsciously occurred. Offerings of food, mating dance displays, and general protective behaviours came from him. He might have almost entirely less threatening on land, but most fell to his glare and obviously aggressive body language.

☄️ A confession almost felt strange from you when he believed that it was simply understood that you both were in a relationship. You had accepted all of his demonstrations, after all. The official start truly changed almost nothing. Food and other various items were still unconsciously gifted to you. Open affection and sharing a “den” were new, however. It was enjoyed nonetheless. Being properly mated seemed to relieve his unfortunate instincts that try to dictate his life. You do end up with a few bite marks from more intimate moments despite his best attempts to resist, however. In rarer moments, he curls his tail around you both almost like a serpent, leaving you lounged in the middle on his chest while he grips you lightly. It almost always occurs when he is half-asleep, unfortunately.

☄️ Then, he tried to enact his plans. A plan to make a new world. One without the horrible, incomplete spirit that mocked him. Perhaps even more – one where he is human and not grasped and limited by this unfortunate life state. Yet, just as everything seemed to come together, it fell apart within an instant. His new world was denied, and he felt as if he had lost everything. The ocean's siren call was all that he had left as he entered the waters and opted to leave behind the world of humans altogether. It seemed as his only option. Yet, you returned. Your harsh words about his plans had been the only thing that nearly stopped him, alongside your leaving. Cyrus felt something nearly electric when your hand rested on his cheek as he rose out of the water. Your words were a sweeter song than that of the ocean.

☄️ Cyrus belatedly made a return to the world he once rejected at your side. Those who previously idolised him rejoiced, yet all he wished was to be with you, his beloved mate. Perhaps his isolation had made him desperate, or maybe the supposed latent dragon in Gyarados genetics made him as weak as a dragon type towards a mate, but he dared not separate from you in such a manner again. This woeful world was still disgustingly incomplete, yet a strange peace reigned in his mind when he was with you. For now, Cyrus would relent and let himself have this peace. And you could have your pseudo-dragon fish-man boyfriend back.

♠️Sharpedo Grimsley General HCs❤️

♤ Sharpedo hybrids are often feared as savage creatures that would attack anyone who enters waters where they reside – just as their pokemon counterparts in that fact. Grimsley supposed his appearance would turn away most sane ocean lovers. The razor-sharp teeth in his mouth that would regrow even if he lost one would turn most away if not by the eerie eyes that he had would glow in the dark. Or the speed in which his powerful tail would let him swim. Though, his lack of scars certainly might either comfort or concern someone depending on their level of knowledge of Sharpedos. Was he a more passive so-called bully of the sea, or simply so aggressive and quick that no attacks had been landed on him? It was a risk for whomever had ended up in the ocean with him.

♡ Grimsley does prefer a more passive approach to living up to the bully title. Mental torment did seem more effective than a straight-up attack on someone. If a boat got too close, he would follow silently, not daring to actually attack. This was often more efficient on chasing people away from his territory. Other Sharpedos, either hybrid or pure pokemon, also feared him and clearly understood his domination over the area he claimed. A nice thrill could be enjoyed if someone did challenge him, though. His risks appear to get more and more dangerous when it comes to prey, however. He finds it too boring to always go after safe hunts and tries to go after various pokemon that he likely should not be hunting.

◇ The land does attract him effortlessly. Humans linger foolishly, completely unaware of who might be watching them. It was fun to test how close he could get before someone noticed him. People would scramble to get away as worries about more dangerous hybrids lurking around spread. Grimsley chuckled. Truly, he had no intention of attacking humans. The hybrid knew far better than that. Of course, those who remained despite his presence caught his attention the most. Many were usually Sharpedo fanatics who knew better than to think one would come too far onto land, but some truly found him in general interesting. A certain human in the latter group had caught his attention entirely.

♧ You approached the hybrid as he sat just too close to the shore. A conversation soon started about what he was actually doing. His explanation almost made you laugh. Your remark about the bully title seeming apt finally made him grin. The both of you continued to chat, much to the clear distress of the few others on the beach. Grimsley decided that you were a human that he liked by the time when you both finally parted. Your apparent bravery or apathy about what he was oddly refreshing compared to the usual fear or excitement that seemed to follow.

♤ It was strange how his feelings began to change with your visits to him. At first, curiosity about you and a slight interest in finding what made you tick had become more about genuinely getting to know you. His familiarity with the human world clearly intrigued you in turn. It became a weird trade-off with information. He would ask you something and then answer your own question in turn. At some point, an urge to bite you – not to hurt or kill – entered his mind. A visible mark that connected you to him. Before he could warn you of this, opting to give you an alert to ward of any possible accident, you confessed your interest in him. For once, you had caught him unawares.

♡ A relationship between a human and an aquatic hybrid was never something easy, but Grimsley had a point of reference at least. You visited him whenever you could while he debated if he should venture back onto the land. The Sharpedo hybrid easily gave you fast tours of the waters he roamed. Something pulsed him in him as you held his dorsal fin for a grip during these speed-filled swims. At some point, the urge to bite you truly became too much. He warned you of it properly this time, but you actually seemed interested in letting him. You once again had him back against the wall in confusion. A mark on your body proved your relationship with the hybrid. A tooth was even gifted to you out of it, too. Grimsley is not sure if the tooth necklace or bite mark makes him more smug.

◇ His ventures onto land seem to be more risky. He has no capability for easy movement, yet an apparent connection to get a wheelchair was had by him. You opted not to think too much about his ability to breathe air. His fondness and familiarity towards casinos were also something you opted against questioning. He was apparently related to someone who was previously within high society, which meant he got along quite well despite the general sentiment about hybrids – especially more vicious ones like himself. You found yourself enjoying time endlessly with him, no matter if you were on land or sea.

♧ Overall, your relationship with the Sharpedo hybrid is quite pleasant and exciting. He is an oddity wherever he is, with more of a love of thrills than anything else sporadically. But, the black-haired man truly does like you, no matter how odd he acts. You learn many things about the waters off Undella with him and how to play most card games. There are some hiccups due to his rigidity and limitations on land, but his time in the ocean more than makes up for that.

[nekoanything]

Me or her —- it’s up to you.

I believe that choosing these two leaders was something that everyone had a hard time with. (including me) because if you have to choose someone, you have to choose adaman or irida.

This scene is an important scene because choosing adaman or irida means choosing which legendary pokemon to catch first.

It's not very difficult to decide. if you want to catch dialga first choose adaman or if you want to catch palkia first choose irida but if I like both characters can I choose two 😂😂😂😂

I really like adaman's Japanese lines. I will translate these two people's lines. There is a comparison between the Japanese and English chapters.

I will start with irida first and adaman last.

わたしだよね！(watashida yo ne!)

it’s me, right!

irida uses the pronoun 私 (watashi) written in kanji, わたし(watashi) written in hiragana.

**The writing method is different, but the reading and meaning are the same. It means I in Japanese. Mostly women use it to represent themselves**

バサギリを鎮めるとき (basagiri o shizumeru toki)

材料となる好物を持つてきたし (zairyo to naru kōbutsu o motsute kitashi)

ともにシズメダマをつくったよ！(tomoni shizumedama o tsukutta yo!)

We use favorite food ingredients as ingredients to calm basagiri(kleavor). We made this balm together!

**There's not much difference between irida's Japanese and English dialogue.**

バサギリ (basagiri) Japanese name for kleavor

シズメダマ (shizumedama) Japanese name for balm

The main characters Rei and Akari are called irida in Japanese with the ending さん(SAN).

The Japanese name for irida is カイ(kai). irida is always called カイさん(kai-san).

Irida in Japanese, the names of the main characters Rei and Akari always end in さん(SAN).

Rei's name in Japanese is テル(teru). Rei will be called テルさん(teru-san).

Akari's name in Japanese is ショウ(Shou). Akari will be called ショウさん(shou-san).

さん(san) means Mr. , Ms. , Mrs. or Miss and can be used with both first and last names , suffix which shows respect

This word is used to refer to the names of people who are not close to each other. This word is quite formal, such as a boss calling his subordinates. Or when they first met and they weren't close yet, etc. Normally, Japanese people call each other by their last names. The last name comes before the first name. But in the same company, there are many people with the same last name. Sometimes you have to call them by their first name or position or department. So that we will understand that it is the same person who is talking about this.

summarize

さん(san) = used to refer to someone who is older than you. , people who are not close friends, people who just met It's an official word.

オレにするよな (ore ni suru yo na)

Choose me, right.

adaman uses the pronoun to refer to himself. オレ(ore) means "I" in Japanese. Mostly used by men in place of themselves (very impolite, used only with close friends). But it's a word that Japanese male teenagers like to use with their friends.)

あんたが吹いている (anta ga fuite iru)

カミナギのふえをゆずったのは誰だ? (kaminagi no fue o yuzutta no wa dareda?)

目の前にいる色男だぜ (me no mae ni iru iro otoko da ze)

Who was the first person to give you that Celestica Flute to play?

It's the handsome young man in front of you.

**There's not much difference between adaman's Japanese and English dialogue**

カミナギのふえ (kaminagi no fue) Japanese name for Celestica flute.

adaman calls the main character あんた(anta), meaning you (it's an informal word and should be used with people who are close to each other) Abbreviated from the word あなた(anata) meaning you (it's a formal word In general, you call people not close to. or people who don't know each other if necessary)

The main characters Rei and Akari are called adaman with the ending さん(SAN) in Japanese.

The name adaman in Japanese is セキ(seki). adaman is always called セキさん(seki-san).

adaman in Japanese, only the name of the main character is called without the ending.

Rei's name in Japanese is テル(teru). Rei will be called テル(teru).

Akari's name in Japanese is ショウ(shou). Akari will be called ショウ(shou).

Image sources

English uses strapping young man.

Japanese uses 色男(iro otoko).

The word "handsome" or "cool" is often used using the word いい男 (ii otoko), which has a rather broad meaning, meaning it can be both a handsome man, good looks, good taste, and may include social status such as a good family background and a good career. or have wealth, etc.

But adaman uses 色男(iro otoko), which is a synonym. It means the handsomeness, sexiness, charm that exists directly in that man. which comes from kabuki drama (Ancient dramas in which all actors are performed by men) are 二枚目(nimaime) , 色男 (iro otoko) , 男前 (otokomae)

**But I will only explain the word 色男 (iro otoko).**

色男 (iro otoko) handsome young man, fragrant young man, sexy guy

色男 (iro otoko) refers to a man who is handsome, good-looking, charming, sexy, and "flirtatious."

The word 色 (iro) in Japanese Often used to refer to the relationship between men and women. Or an affair, so if you talk about 色男(iro otoko) , it usually has the meaning of being a flirtatious man, a lascivious man.

summarize

色男 (iro otoko) = handsome, good-looking, charming, sexy, a charming man who is very attractive to women.

seki-san is iro otoko.

I like that adaman knows himself to be a handsome, sexy guy.

(But he's really a handsome young man, so hot because he's an attractive person for both men and women.)

**He is a handsome, charming and sexy guy.**

**He's not a flirt. Don't misunderstand!!!!**

Who game developer came up with this role for adaman, I love it, dammit. 💯💯💯💯💯 💯💯💯💯💯

Can it be considered information? I don't know. But what I do know is that it's my personal preference. 😂😂😂

I wrote quite a long one. I hope you're not bored with me first. If I provide incomplete information or provide incorrect information you can tell me! or you can exchange ideas with me.

28 songs Full tracklist, selected lyrics, n writeup below cut

(Contains: The Happy Fits, PUFFY, Illuminati Hotties, Paramore, The Shins, The Orion Experience, Best Coast, Utada Hikaru, etc) (+a couple songs absorbed from ao's zolu playlist)

1. The Shins - Simple Song Mixed POV, Zoro being recruited by Luffy. ... You sure must be strong And you feel like an ocean being warmed by the Sun // My life in an upturned boat Marooned on a cliff You brought me a great big flood And you gave me a lift // I know that things can really get rough When you go it alone Don't go thinking you gotta be tough To bleed like a stone Could be there's nothing else in our lives so critical As this little hole?

2. Slow Pulp - Cramps Zoro POV, vibing with being a pirate, actually. realizing he's a lot like Luffy / they have a lot in common. Wants to protect his crew. Part of a family now. But also specifically drawn to Luffy, drawn along with Luffy. Has a nice confident, grungy, fighty vibe. ... Be a better lover, I know that I'm a runner Oh no, I think I've become her There's nothing better than being the protector Out of a routine, the only one I've ever seen I wanna be a foolproof machine There's nothing better, wanna be like Heather I'll take anything That you wanna give But I want everything Everything

3. PUFFY - Friends Forever Mixed POV, perfectly in sync. friends forever. big adventuring vibe. facing the world together. slight nod to whiskey peak. sidenote: it's really annoying to find this song on youtube without scooby doo noises playing over it (official music videos my beloathed...) the "pokemon and their trainers" (...gijinkas) video is the best one for my region at least. ... Just when I thought I had to make it alone You were right there by my side Making a stand holding my hand the way you do There to remind me of a "me and you" When I'm with you all my fear disappears Like if I reach, I touch the sky You've got my back, pick up my slack when I can't see But nothing picks me up like knowing we'll be Friends forever Face whatever Friends forever Yay! we're never gonna be apart You and me, we are so oddly the same The way we think, the way we play Right from the start, so off the charts, about this thing But we didn't know at first that we were making Friends forever Bound together Friends forever Yeah! We'll always be there Oh yes, there also can be times that get rough And all that can be said is "sorry" That we were wrong and said some meaningless stuff And we'll go on together, through any nasty weather Yeah

4. Illuminati Hotties - Sandwich Sharer Luffy POV - flippant & happy vibe. but also visceral, grungy, fighty. kissing. sharing food. "you thought i was bleeding but that's just my spit!!". ... Restarted kissing You said "I'm dreaming" I couldn't stop from laughing Cause it's the realest thing I ever did Taking our clothes off Painting on rooftops Sit back on shingles in the shade, I bare my teeth at future fake outs we had coming Drooling tomato sauce, to make it look legit You thought i was bleeding but that's just my spit Sandwich sharer Unprepared for What comes after this Take the big half I will bite back What you won't finish Until we're finished

5. The Happy Fits - Sailing Zoro POV oops catching feelings for a friend ... My body's achin' My ship's left the shore Your eyes are waiting My knees on the floor And it's been so long Since I had a friend And it's been so long Why can't we just pretend? And I feel your laughter Your warm, open stare And I'm chasing after Somethin' that isn't there

6. The Pillow Queens - Favourite idk just vibes "tell me i'm your favorite" + "i'm being so normal" ... i’ve got no reason to be feeling like you’re mine for the next four seasons let it die, let it die i can’t help hoping that you think i’m really nice want some brief hand holding on the sly, on the sly hey you can say it, i’m your favourite hey you can say it, i’m your favourite

7. The Beths - Warm Blood Luffy POV - Zoro is warm and good feelings. Not "you make me feel protected", but "you are a raincoat". Feels very Luffy. "you really get me" ... Nothing makes me feel like this Nothing makes me feel like this Nothing but you Nothing but you My head is hanging from the roof I'm floating all about the room Because of you Because of you I wanna bask in the rays of the way I feel right now (Ooh oooh) I wanna bask in the rays of the way I feel right now (Ooh warming up my blood) You are a raincoat, you are a zeppelin flight You are a bonfire burning a three dog night You are an isle of calm on a stormy sea You really get, you really get You really get me I wanna be here when you call Pick up the phone and I would fall in love with you In love with you

8. MONKEY MAJIK - Around the World Mixed POV. During timeskip. Counting down the days until we can see eachother again. We'll change the world, make it better, we're training to make that happen. sidenote: the mixed eng/jpn version of this song is my favorite and the one i'm referring to here ... Every night I look to the skies And wonder what we did Always a naive point of view that breaks us in the end If I could find the meaning of it all I’d take the chance Maybe in time We’ll walk the mile and change it if we can It’s now and always (How did we get this far,did we get this far now) Always (We’re making a brand new start, just a brand new start now) Always (Nothing will hold me down, never hold me down now) Always (Wave goodbye to me!) Around the world 新しいことに(with the power to) Around the world 踏み出す力で(step forward to something new) Around the world 世界は変わる(I'll change the world) But don’t run away ’cause if it’s not OK! I’ll change that world Into something better honey!

Aaaand that's all of it! Thanks for reading :)

Wait, you haven’t done a review of regular pikachu? Will you?

Have you reviewed raichu?

(Ironically I have literally reviewed every part of the Pikachu line except for Pikachu itself. Review links: Pichu, Raichu, Alolan Raichu, Pichu and Pikachu forms)

Pikachu is such an iconic design that it's actually hard to approach it from a normal standpoint, given how heavily ingrained it is in both Pokemon as a brand and modern culture. I'm more of a Raichu person myself, but Pikachu is obviously a pretty great 'mon on its own.

Originally, the creators actually intended Clefairy to be the mascot, but I think they made the right choice in going with Pikachu instead. What makes Pikachu work is that it has simple but very clear visuals—those red cheeks and black-tipped ears pop instantly, to the point where only its head can be used as an icon and it will be recognizable. Clefairy doesn't really have a single visual element like that. Pikachu also manages to be cute but not to the point wherein you can't see this thing battling, which is an important balance that i don't think Clefairy achieves as much.

In terms of said visuals, the lightning-bolt tail helps communicate the typing immediately and is a fun twist on a squirrel's tail (and yes, Pikachu is partially based off a squirrel, as confirmed by its designer Atsuko Nishida.) Likewise, the red cheek pouches pop instantly and play off of the idea of rodents storing food in their cheeks by having it store electricity instead. The brown stripes on its back help to fill the space in the backsprite and keep it from being too plain, and the little :3 face is always a winner as well.

Obviously I wouldn't actually change anything about the design, but if I were to be hyper nitpicky the way I usually am, the brown gradient at the base of the tail might've made more sense as a black tip, to match the ears. (Ironically, apparently a lot of people actually do misremember it being like this, though I'm not one of them). You could even make the brown back stripes black for contrast. But yeah, overall, very effective design even if it wasn't the face of the franchise.

And no Pikachu review would be complete without talking about the OG fat Pikachu design. Originally Pikachu was supposed to be more of a mochi pastry than a rodent, and some of that roundness was retained in Pikachu's early designs. Over the years, it was slimmed down to make it easier to animate. (It also had a white underbelly, though I actually like dropping this, as it gives more of a sense of progression to Raichu.)

While I do love the original design, I do think slimming it down a bit doesn't hurt anything, and making the tail shorter and wider makes it stand out more. I think sometimes it can get too slim in modern media, but the official art shown above feels like a good weight.

Thankfully, we get to have our cake and eat it too, as Pikachu's g-max design is a throwback to the original sprite. This is both a clever concept and feels appropriate for the g-max theme of "thing, but really big". There are a few obvious changes—most notably the tail, which has been lengthened far beyond what it originally was and is now all-white with a yellow outline, to look more lightning-y. It also has an extra stripe and bigger cheeks to better balance the space.

I'm not sure making the tail white adds all that much, but making it longer makes it so the g-max clouds can swirl around it like a storm, and I think that's pretty neat.

So overall, iconic Pokemon that deserves its status as series mascot. Don't think I need to say any more.

Total Drama Island 2023 Headcanons (Mall Jobs)

Priya is employee of the month every single month at her job, though she switches jobs practically every single month. She’s stellar at her job, whatever it may be, but gets bored doing the same tasks for too long. Especially if she believers there is opportunity for more growth or more challenges at a different job. Her most recent job is working at the Laser Tag Arena and Arcade in the mall, which allows her to both earn money and spend her breaks playing the best laser tag games imaginable. Sometimes she works multiple jobs at once, and can be seen in the Game Stop, the Cinnabon, and the H&M all in the same day.

Millie has an internship at the mall bookstore. They do not offer internships, but she gave a long, drawn-out explanation about why this generation needs to learn the value of working for experience instead of money, and the manager got bored enough to just agree. Instead of working, Millie lurks around the bookstore and judges her peers’ taste in books. 

Ripper has applied at every store in the mall at least once, and has been fired from at least half of the jobs he has tried (the other half he quit about a week in). His longest stints have been at the Game Stop (he got fired for yelling at a five year old girl- accusing her of being a ‘fake fan’ of Pokemon), the Hello Kitty Store (he quit after Chase saw him working the cash register), and the Spencer’s where he is currently on his last warning. If he makes one more dick joke to a customer who’s gone to browse in the back of the store, he’s officially going to be fired.

Damien works with Millie at the bookstore, but he actually gets paid. He keeps his head down at work, trying to avoid the drama that often erupts when a customer gets annoyed that Millie is following them around. He is just there to make money for college. 

Axel only visits the mall to hang out with Nichelle, she gets bored at every store in the place aside from the small hole in the wall shop that sells pocket knives amongst their usual stock of anime figurines and Funko Pops. She does have a notable love for the Cinnabon stall in the food court though.

Chase works at one of the kiosks in the mall that sells sunglasses and shittily made custom printed shirts. Any woman who walks past the kiosk becomes his newest temporary crush, and he constantly stops by Urban Outfitter’s to try to hit on Emma. He makes decent money from his job but is always somehow broke, primarily because he wastes every paycheck on overpriced clothing from the nearby shops that sell Supreme and Gucci merchandise.

Zee actually works nights at the McDonald’s down the street, but visits the mall during the day to hang around the food court with Emma. Occasionally, they’ll help out around the Urban Outfitters and Bowie will pay them in cash, soda, and weed. They also often skip work to hang out with Emma and generally loiter anywhere the vibes are chill enough. 

Scary Girl works at Hot Topic and has about an equal rate of getting customers to spend insane amounts of money versus scaring any customer away by being generally terrifying. She briefly worked at Claires but was fired after using the piercing gun inappropriately. She is not allowed within twenty feet of the Hello Kitty Store.

Caleb applied to work at the Game Stop but was rejected in part because he was considered to not adequately fit their atmosphere, so he instead ended up with a job at the local Abercrombie & Fitch- much to his chagrin. 90% of his job is to simply stand at the cash register by the door and look attractive to entice people in, he only stays at the job because they pay decently. When not at his job he’s browsing the titles at the Game Stop or running to get the high score at every game in the Arcade.

Nichelle got a job at the Hot Dog on a Stick to method act for an upcoming role. She’s trying her best to actually do the job, but all her star-struck co-workers refuse to let her lift a finger. She is incredibly grateful for the few customers that don’t recognize her, because she feels like she is able to live like a normal teenager for those brief moments. 

Julia has applied at the Urban Outfitters hundreds of times, but has been rejected more times than she can count, so she works at Forever 21 instead. She’s nice to her customers’ faces to maximize her commission, but talks shit about them to all of her coworkers once they’re out of earshot. She also talks shit about all of her coworkers to any customer that will listen. 

Bowie is the manager at the Urban Outfitters. He knows all the employee beef and makes sure to draft the schedule in a way that will maximize the amount of drama he gets to witness. He’s a chill, yet stern boss, and he takes his responsibilities very seriously. He only ever calls out once, after a crazy night with Raj, Wayne, Emma, and Nichelle. 

Wayne works at the Sports Authority, and is actually an amazing worker. He’s friendly, helpful, and a great team player. The only downside is that he is such a good team player and so aggressively helpful and kind, that he’s driven sales in the store to a screeching halt. If a customer shows up asking for hockey gear, Wayne immediately pulls out every promo code and coupon available to help them buy everything they need. While very nice and well-liked by the customers, Wayne is one more ‘Unofficial Surprise Free Giveaway’ from being fired. 

Raj works at the Dick’s Sporting Goods across the way from the Sports Authority, and he and Wayne have a friendly competition trying to get customers to come into their stores. However, Raj keeps getting distracted by Bowie coming to visit and keeps getting in trouble for giving him free stuff- his worst offense being when he gave Bowie about $300 worth of clothing because Bowie offhandedly said one of the on-sale jerseys was cute. 

Emma works at Urban Outfitters. She was originally rejected for not being “cool” enough, but Bowie pulled some strings to get her the job. Her sweet and bubbly personality makes her very popular among the customers, who often come in just to talk with her and Bowie. Unfortunately, Chase’s kiosk is in sight of the entrance of the store, and she has to take a break to calm down in the back everytime he catches her eye to wink at her. 

MK works at a tech kiosk that fixes phones and sells phone cases and other accessories. She views this job as beneath her because it’s super easy. She hangs out in the food court during her lunch break to pickpocket and sometimes goes to Forever 21 and Urban Outfitters to steal. Anytime Bowie catches her, he rolls his eyes and warns her not to do it again, and anytime Julia catches her, she threatens her life.

How does a typical choosing event happen when a new trainer comes to Peach for their first Pokemon? Can someone adopt one of her rescue pokemon?

The island offers its sevices MOSTLY to older trainers, handing pokemon to kids has never really been the islands MO. It's not off the table, but also not the point of the facility, as many other more easily accessible locations cater to children. Most pokemon on Dotaku have pre-existing conditions, injuries, or behavioural ticks that need adjusting to, not all of course, but a good majority, so handing them to kids just isnt always so viable.

The island has two adoption days each month, scheduled where pokemon looking for a partner can dress up, staff usually get the resident groomers to give everyone a once over, and humans looking for mons are encouraged to come along for the day and take a peak. It is not very formal, a lot of games and events, food vendors and the likes. Staff work overtime to make sure people know about each pokemon, any really special or difficult mons will stick with one of the professors, and they'll explain their needs or personlaity type to interested parties. If nothing else its a very fun day out, where you get to meet a bunch of pokemon!

It's not a case of picking one out and being done with it, some pokemon require home visits before being OK'd for adoption, to make sure you have the right space and items in place to make for a good home. Other smaller pokemon can be adopted on the day, proven that you show a base level of knowledge for caring for living things. These tests are carried out by staff, be it a field worker, lab assistant, or a professor, and if you pass, you pay a small adoption fee, sign some papers, and the process is began. If you fail, you are given the option to reserve the pokemon, so no one else can come and adopt them, and return to take the test again once you are better prepared. This is usually only aplicable for up to a month. It gives people time to get ready for a new friend in their lives too.

Classes are offered to those looking to improve their level of care, and staff insist on these classes with some cases, especially children. in the case of a child finding a partner, we ask that parents come and discuss with us the quality of care that can be provided at home. Without an adult guardian, no child under the age of 16 can adopt from us, to spare pokemon any inadequate living conditions.

There is one golden rule that does dictate a lot of decisons made: Is the pokemon going to be happy?

If a pokemon does not like you, does not want to be adopted by you, is nervous about you, or shows any hesitation, their needs will come above and beyond that of the humans. We have no issue refusing an adoption based on a pokemons opinion, but people are welcomed to return, and try to form a stronger bond with an individual who is open to it.

Should you find a good match, pass our tests, and have adequate resources to care for a pokemon, then with some paperowork, youre free to leave with your buddy. Follow up visits will occur several times within the year to check see that each pokemon adopted out is happy and well cared for. You become an official member of the Dotaku labs clientel, can call for support, bring in any buddies for check ups, and our services are available to you should any illness or issue arise.
