#or maybe Umbreon or Weavile

[fierykitten2]

Dear everyone complaining that Pokémon is too easy: I hope you’re having fun with the Mewtwo raid

[mbirnsings-71]

*Cracks knuckles* Pokemon time by beloved!! this time assigning me, @pup-pee, and @cannimochi pokemon teams with specific types for funsies!! those are down under the cut!!

starting with Jay cause there's more requirements there a.k.a pink bugs there's actually a few!! There's the trash cloak version of Wormadam, Parasect has pink on him, Vivillon has a whole bunch of forms but there's a pink one that's for sure, and that's the majority of the pink bugs because others steer more into red territory!! But I'll give you some other pink pokemon as well like Luvdisc, Blissey, and Audino!! Pink pokemon are usually reserved for the fairy typing but there's a few pink non-fairy types out there!!

Now for Ru we want Ice/Dark which I can so easily do!! cause you have two with that specific combo already!! Weavile and Chien-Pao are both Ice/Dark!! now of course I'm gonna give you umbreon cause that's your favorite eeveevolution and maybe I'll give you a houndoom so that way you have someone that can come in with fire!! Now other ice types to give you... I gotta give you frosmoth I met you when you went vrrrr about indrid cold a.k.a Mothman like come on, and finally I have to give you Alolan Ninetales because of Kazzy okay okay <3

Now for me because I made a joke that I'm weak to psychic typing I gotta go fighting/poison!! Now I get three solid fighting/poison types in Toxicroak, Okidogi, and Sneasler. Now for the last three I picked Bewear, Roserade, and Lucario purely based off of vibes and that's it really.

and that's it!! If you actually read this post that's insane actually!!

[alola-reblogging]

Some random gladion HC's because he's the best 《3

♡ His clothes got ripped by his Pokemon accidentally during training, now however he rips all of his clothing purposely

♡ He's covered in multiple different scars all obed his body from training his pokemon, especially silvally when he was newly rescued, he's also got a few scars from his team skull days

♡ His Umbreon is a protector, and looms out for all of the other pokemon, whilst lycanroc is quite mischievous.

♡ His Weavile is cheeky and likes to mess with the other pokemon, Umbreon is always on their toes watching out for Weaviles pranks

♡ During the first few months after he ran away, he had only his Pokemon and no one else, he had no choice but to steal food/supplies from stores / trainers so that they could survive

♡ He always felt guilty about it but ultimately doesn't regret the choice to take in order to survive, he was very relieved when he first started earning money as a trainer, and always heavily tipped places he'd taken from kind of like a silent apology

♡ Team skull noticed his talent for thieving, as well as his strength as a trainer, and this is why they hired him

♡ Guzma and Plumeria, despite everything, are held in a high regard to Gladion because they always helped him out and welcomed him in their own way

♡ They knew the other grunts didn't consider him truly Team skull and they knew Gladion didn't want to be, but they'd always help him out even when he didn't know/ want their help

♡ Guzma fronted Gladion the cash for his motel room and even though Gladion insisted on paying him back, Guzma didn't want too

♡ Plums always sneaks extra food / supplies in his bag when he isn't looking

♡ When Guzma sided with Lusamine it really hurt Gladion, though at the time he played it off like it wasn't a big deal it bothered him greatly, at the time he knew he had bigger problems than Guzma's betrayal though

♡ When Guzma changed to help out in the end Gladions heartbeat finally calmed down and he mentally grinned inside his head

♡ His biggest regret is not taking Lillie with him and Silvally

♡ He saved some money up from Pykumuku chucking and bought a little necklace from a boutique for Lillie, he sent it anonymously to aether ahead of Lillies birthday feeling imense guilt for missing her birthday, but despite the anonymous card1 Lillie knew it could of only been from Gladion

♡ Overtime Hau wears him down to the point Gladion enjoys the midnight malasada bromamce dates

♡ He was always so lonely growing up, apart from Lillie, but they only had each other. He never got to experience friendship and never learnt to speak to people so he lacked confidence and people skills.

♡ When Hau realises Gladion actually considers him a friend now he sobs (literally everywhere) and he and Gladion sit on the beach eating soggy, tear stained malasadas

♡ Nanu always looked out for Gladion from the shadows, keeping him out of real trouble with the law, never revealing to Gladion he's the true reason he only ever got a slap on the wrist rather then juvy or jail time

That's all I got for now but I'll probably do more bc Gladion is just the best! Might do some others too like hau maybe kukui & ya boi

[blueisquitetired]

Ages ago back when Legends Arceus first came out, I toyed with the idea of completing a shiny dex. (Replacing every dex picture with its shiny counterpart) I got halfway through before massive mass outbreak hunting kinda killed my motivation. But! With Eevee week in Violet finally letting me complete the entire shiny eevee family, I regained some of that former vigor and have decided to give it another go!

I won’t spam you with updates since this is first and foremost an art/writing blog, but since I mostly do submas stuff I thought some of you might be mildly interested lol.

My two rules for myself are-

1: Transferring from other games is both allowed and encouraged. Shiny hunting distortion spawns is an exercise in misery and I will not participate in its madness. Those bad boys are getting Mesuda methoded

2: I’m not doing legendaries or mythicals. While I DO have the resources to do most of them, I find legendary hunts boring and uninteresting. (It’s mostly loading screens) And they’re long!! I could maybe do it if I only had to do one… but 10ish is far far too many (especially since I’d have to replay through bdsp TWICE to even START some hunts) Hunting all the legendaries would take up most of the time if I let it

Anyway, I’ll only post about my progress every so often (less then once a week lol) but if you want to block them completely I’ll be using the tag #blue’s shiny hunting adventures

All that being said- I’m currently at about 123/224!

(Extra info under readmore for those curious)

Here’s my current list! There’s probably some errors in there (as well as spelling mistakes but everything is highlighted in red so I’ll never know what’s ACTUALLY spelled wrong) but this is fine for now lol

Shinies I’ve transferred from other games so far include:

- a shiny patcharisu that I caught in bdsp via radar

- a shiny magikarp and garados I caught in a new years event in sword AGES ago

- a shiny sneasel (+weavile dex entry) that I hunted in violet named Lady Baby

- a shiny bergmite who I hunted in Violet named Akari (who I did NOT evolve so I’ll need a new one anyway)

- a shiny umbreon and espeon who I painstakingly hatched with perfect IVS in Violet

- a shiny vaporeon who I spent AGES hunting in Violet

- a shiny flareon and glaceon who I accidentally ran into ten seconds apart from each other when I wandered into their mass outbreak in Violet

- a shiny jolteon and leafeon who I casually hunted for and found later that day in Violet

- a shiny abamasnow, rufflet (+braviary dex entry), snorunt (+frostless dex entry), toxicroak, and golduck I found randomly while playing Violet

Since starting this challenge yesterday I have found a shiny starly, chatot, remoraid (+octillery dex entry), and tangela!

I also currently am at 32 perfect dex entries and will hopefully have more by the end of this lol

And, of course, here’s my current shinies physically in Legends Arceus!

[mimikmew]

I couldn't sleep, so I made a list of pokemon teams for Avatar the Last Airbender.

TEAM AVATAR

Aang- Bouffalant (Appa), Emolga (Momo), Flygon (earth), Charizard (fire), Togetic/kiss or Alteria? (air), Mantine (water)

Katara- Lapras, Froslass (to represent the Painted Lady), Chansey (healing), Tentacruel? (poison type to represent bloodbending?), Primarina? (Starter?), Basculegion (to represent her tribe and their losses for which she fights)

Sokka- Lucario (given to him as a Riolu by Suki), Tyrogue (might evolve into Hitmontop, might not evolve at all), Ursaluna (given to him as a teddiursa by Yue), Minior (to represent the meteor he made his sword out of. Probably blue color, but maybe shiny?), Samurott (his starter probably), Klinklang (to represent his tinkering skills)

Toph- Excadrill (badgermoles, obviously), Steelix (metalbending), Machamp (her championship title), Tinkaton, Gallade (given to her as a Ralts by her parents as a kind of "seeing eye pokemon" that she turned into a fighter. Kept an everstone on it until she joined the gaang), Bewear (another gift from parents, but this time as more like a bodyguard.)

Zuko- Pyroar M (prince), Doublade (swords), Ceruledge (blue spirit), Annihilape (anger issues), Alolan Marrowak (mom issues), Kommo-o (dragon)

Suki- Mienshao, Urshifu (I want her to have 3, but couldn't think of a good 3rd one, except maybe she has both forms of Urshifu?)

FIRE NATION

Iroh- Drampa (old man/dragon, often underestimated), Turtonator (fire dragon), Polteageist (tea), Emboar (they have the same body type lol), Darmanitan (zen), Kingambit (I know pai sho isn't chess, but it's the closest we got, ok?)

Ozai- Houndoom, Infernape, Moltres? (The comet?), Magmortar, Zoroark (trickery), Mabosstiff?

Azula- Luxray, Pyroar F, Morpeko, Jolteon, Flareon, Chandelure? (Blue fire)

Mai- Salazzle, Umbreon, Malamar

Ty Lee- Mr Mime, Oricorio-baile style, Eevee

Zhao- Blaziken, Talonflame, Incineroar, Armarouge

OTHER

Bumi- Gigalith

Yue- Goldeen, Lunatone (shiny)

Cabbage Guy- Bulbasaur

Jet- Weavile, Sneasler

Notable extras:

• Use Hypnos in Ba Sing Se for the conspiracy

• Sand benders (Si Wong tribes) use Hippopotas, Palosand, and Sandiles mostly

• Wan Shi Yong is an Alpha Noctowl

• Foggy Swamp Tribe use mostly Ludicolo line, Carnivine, Poliwag line, and Tangrowth lines, but any swampy pokemon will do. Bugs are common.

• As Lee, Zuko only uses his Doublade and Marrowak

• I want Spark Sparky Boom Man to use an Unown with a max power psychic type Hidden Power, but I don't know enough about Hidden Power mechanics to be sure that would work.

• Does penguin sledding use Delibird, Eiscue, or the Piplup line? These are the important questions!

• I purposefully made it so only the main characters/bad guys had more than 3 pokemon.

• I almost gave Zuko a Rayquaza, but he wouldn't have a legendary until he becomes Fire Lord

• Except for the Bouffalant, all Aang's pokemon can fly. (Regional varient that can fly?)

• As he is the Avatar, should all Aang's pokemon be shiny?

• Azula's crew all have an eeveelution. Azula has two, and I imagine the flareon used to belong to Zuko, but it was taken from him after the Agni Kai and banishment.

• Ty Lee wants to keep her eevee unevolved. Azula might convince her to "make it more powerful." If she does, it'll be a Sylveon.

• Zuko and Azula's mom got both of them a litleo each as kids.

• Fire Nation mostly use fire types, but electric are common enough. Earth Kingdom is mostly ground and rock, but steel is ok. Air Nomads obviously use mostly flying, but fairy is common. Water Tribes use mostly water and ice, but obviously the swamp tribe uses grass.

• The Earth King still has just a bear. It's not a pokemon. It's a bear.

[catsauceeartofficial]

What teams do the characters have in your mp100 x pokemon AU?

*Slams a metaphorical book* IM GLAD YOU ASKED

Shigeo has a shiny Espurr named Pinku (A powerhouse that due to it’s too high level and Mob’s lack of confidence, sometimes refuses to listen to Mob), a Psyduck, A Politoed (which he traded as a Poliwhirl with Teru), a Caterpie and Dimple as a Gastly! (which did not happen for quite a while until Shigeo proved his friendship with Dimple) His reasoning for his pokemon team is just that he thought they were neat.

Reigen has a Magikarp (of course), a Musharna (for pokemon clients that get too aggressive), Greavard (named Uu-chan!!) and a Dunsparce (from the tsuchinoko episode) His Magikarp evolves into a Gyarados during the Claw Arc.

Serizawa has an Espurr (who didn’t trust Serizawa’s command at first due to his lack of confidence until Toichiro conned him into working under him), a Metagross (gotten during his time with Claw), a Whimpod (He was charmed by it’s cowardly nature like he once was) and a Chimecho (caught at the very last minute to save Reigen before Greavard took too much of his life force). By the time Tome joins Pokemon and Such, Seri’s Espurr has evolved into a Meowstic.

Ritsu has an Umbreon (evolved from an Eevee he had since young), an Abra (the first pokemon he caught on his adventure with the help of Dimple), a Weedle (Which fully evolved into a Beedrill during the Claw Arc), and a Staravia (which evolved into Staraptor, very fitting of his emo personality). Ritsu uses mega evolution!

I’ve done a post about Teru’s pokemon, but Teru has an Alolan Raichu (who he has had since she was a pichu when Teru was really young), a Jigglypuff, a Starmie (which he uses for intimidation) and a Ralts (named Mob). I was contemplating given Teru a Shinx. Also, Teru uses Z moves!

Sho has a Flareon (he secretly took care of it as an eevee, and has mimic), a Combusken (which he got as a starter on his Father’s choosing), a Dedenne (Hamster lookin-), and a Fletchinder (caught as a Fletchling). After his Father’s defeat, Sho decided he would rather pursue pokemon nursing instead of battling and picked up a Hatenna.

Putting the rest under the cut because it’s getting long XD

The Super 5 would probably have gym leader-esque teams. Minegeshi would definitely have plant types in his team (Trevenant, Gloom, Victreebel, Carnivine), Hatori has electric/steel types, mostly relevant to electronics of course (Rotom, Voltorb, Magneton, maybe a Registeel??) and Shibata has Fighting types, ones that heavily rely on moves that increase their attack power (Machamp [uses a Gigantamax], Hariyama, Pangoro)

As for Shimazaki, his is kind of hard for me to decide. I think he would have ghost and dark types that have high speed stats (Crobat, Mismagius,  Weavile)

Of course, we have to give Suzuki Toichiro a strong pokemon team, and he definitely has a god on his side (Probably a Groudon lmao, maybe a Houndoom, Garchomp, Crawdaunt, Empoleon for shits and giggles)

[feartoxinjelloshot]

Do you have pokemon teams for your rogues gallery....

i do not but just for you i will give each of them 1 (edit: okay i said one but i am giving Options for like all of these so... several?) pokemon. hold on let me remember all of them

batman: you know crobat would be the obvious answer but im actually inclined to say corviknight (aesthetic) or absol (symbolism)

robin: not gonna list all of them but i think dick grayson would have an aipom. circus pokemon

catwoman: WEAVILE. also umbreon, or literally any cat pokemon

riddler: i could see him with a flygon, or something electric like an ampharos or a galvantula?

scarecrow: oh mimikyu for sure. the saddest wettest pathetic little thing. he loves it dearly. also a big mudsdale. maybe a banette?

joker: inclined to say type: null, blacephalon, probably a mr mime, maybe missingno if we want to get meta with it

harley: BIG dog pokemon. probably houndoom and a midnight lycanroc, arcanine even

ivy: grass plant grass grass plant grass. serperior venusaur and roserade at the least

twoface: girafarig for sure. cmaawn man

mr freeze: frosslass? alolan sandslash?

hatter: hatterene, alolan raichu

penguin: empoleon lets be real here. also honchkrow.

manbat: noivernnnn

croc: crobat prob. sewer pokemon

ratcatcher: i mean. ratatta obviously. so so many of them. all of them

firefly: flareon

killer moth: volcarona

plasticman: ditto

not including ragdoll bc i think ragdoll would probably Be a pokemon in this universe. idk which one though. some fucked up thang. ghost type

[lighterium]

What is your favorite pokemon if you play pokemon also your art is super cool 👽

Thank you so much!!! I have a lot of faves hahaha, but I'd say maybe a top 5 that i'm feeling right now would be Umbreon, Zolt (both draco and arcto), morgrem, chandelure, weavile

[daddynattt]

Okay so a friend of mine on here showed me someone on TikTok who Made armor that looked like Umbreon from pokemon and we started talking about which Pokemon Natasha and Maria would have and in my opinion I feel like Natasha would be a Electric Type Gym Leader or Fighting Type Gym Leader. And I think Maria would be a Dark Type Gym Leader.

And the Pokemon Natasha would have would be a Absol, Weavile, Maybe a Mimikyu, Noivern, Starter pokemon would probably either be a Charmander or an Eevee that either turns into a Flareon or a Jolteon. Even if it's not possible I'd say shed have Shadow Mewtwo. Definitely a Rapidash. For a fighting type either a Blaziken or Kommo-o maybe both.

And for Maria definitely an Umbreon or Espeon. She'd definitely have both Hitmonchan and Machamp. A Houndoom, Nickit/Thievul, definitely a Lapras, Garchomp. For her starter Pokemon I feel like it'd either be Popplio or Fennekin. A mismagius. And for her legendary probably Entei or Virizion.

oooo👀 are we gonna get more on this in any way? 👀

[marshmallowprotection]

hello hello. i dont know if you're into pokemon but I started playing Violet the other day and I tend to nickname my pokemon after whatever my current hyperfixation is so ofc right now they're getting mysme nicknames (right now my charcadet is (suit) Saeran (gonna evolve into ceruledge), my kirlia is Ray (gonna evolve into gardevior). i plan to catch a sneasel/weavile for unknown (totally didnt get the idea from an art i saw). Trying to pick something for saeyoung but nothing has felt right yet. an electric type? fire? maybe a dog pokemon bc with his loved ones saeyoung is both an excited puppy AND a guard dog)

ANYWAY so I started wondering about everyone's favorite twins and pokemon

What kind of pokemon do you think saeyoung and the various saerans would have? what would they be if they WERE pokemon? in a canon setting would they play pokemon?

i can see saeyoung with fire/steel/electric types, especially robot- or machine-like pokemon. ray/ge saeran with grass types is obvious, but I can also see him with fairy types. theyre deceptively cute but can mess you up. suit and unknown scream dark type teams. maybe some poison types for unknown. like i think he'd have team rocket/[insert region team] grunt-esque pokemon.

saeyoung and all of the saeran's have at least one pokemon (probably their first/partner) that they found abandoned and in bad shape that they took in and it decided to stay with them after it recovered.

maybe they have an espeon (saeyoung) and an umbreon (saeran) to complement their "we're opposites but in a balanced and complimentary way" vibe.

and also bc i must inflict this on all my faves who are convinced they're bad and unlovable: at least one pokemon on their team evolves with high friendship/affection. even better if for some reason he doesn't know what causes that pokemon to evolve and he maybe cries a little when he finds out. what do you mean he's LOVED??

ANYWAY sorry for the really long ramble haha. this was supposed to be a short ask but it kinda got away from me 😅 anyway, i hope you have a good day!! i love your writing and character analyses!!

Oh, you've come to the right person today, because I spend my time stressing out over what Pokemon I would use on their teams if I ever wrote a story for it. I've done this a few times before but I can never really make my mind up so I wouldn't say that this is a concrete idea. So, here is a slider I would use for Ray > Suit Saeran > GE Saeran. I think some of it is self-explanatory. I suggest dark, ghost, and grass if anything.

Phantump for a Ray who feels lost and dead to the world. Polteageist for his desire to feel like a prince in his haunted castle. Budew for a boy who can't be fully blossomed just yet... but, he's so close to that chance. Suit Saeran would only use one Pokemon in my mind and it's Banette. A Pokemon that happens to be seeking revenge in the same way he is. It might seem like a major stretch but mega evolution seems incredibly possible in this situation.

Shaymin is the Pokemon of gratitude and I feel like it would appear in the garden when he is in the process of thanking you for being there with him as he finally freed himself from his heavy chains. He and Saeyoung do have a set of Eevee together! I feel like they need to have a matched set, and his Eevee has been tucked away in their pokeball for a while until he realized the error of his ways.

Whereas, Saeyoung is always really tough to work with because there's so many different Pokemon that would work for him symbolically. Sure, we can pick some joke options if we want to do so, but I'm trying to imagine what would work for his work in the agency. Did they give him a team or is it a team he's caught himself?

In the end I just decided to give him a team that he crafted. He deserves to have a cat that shoots fireballs from its mouth. Of course, I don't imagine that'll end well for him since the cat likely gives him a free haircut everyday with burnt edges. Rotom is the given. Everybody who's ever drawn him with the Pokemon always gives him Rotom. It's right. Three heads are better than one! Magneton helps to hack and unlock problems!

His Eevee doesn't battle. It's kept safe in his bunker, or it's Pokeball. He hates to make Eevee sad about not seeing its own twin or Saeran. Magearna makes sense to me, because what is more in character for him than to discover this mechanical Pokemon and help bring it back to life? Minior for the stars! It's either that or Clefairy. I couldn't make up my mind but in the end I decided on stars.

Which brings me to Unknown and SE Saeran. Yeah, SE Saeran will receive that Megearna as a gift from his brother. His Porygon-Z likely was released after Mint Eye was taken down, or it's still in the box for now since that was likely his main partner for being able to hack into the RFA. Mimikyu and Banette are self-explanatory. Budew would be a new addition in his time spent trying to enjoy the clouds and grass! Milcery is a surprise, though! I have a feeling that is a companion he made one afternoon that tried to sample his ice cream and now he's got a friend that helps him craft his own ice cream.

[a-tale-of-legends]

So in my au, Silver is the head of the old Johto battle tower near olivine city ( if I'm correct).

I mention this because in my au, this guy has 1) a weavile 2) a shiny Umbreon and 3) a Gyarados that could mega evolve into a dark type ( not saying that he has mega evolution, just that Gyarados has a dark type mega evolution).

All of these are enough for me to think " huh, if Silver was in the league, he would have definitely been a dark type specialist",and that then got me thinking " oh my god, Karen and Silver meet when" CAUSE LIKE!!!! WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT!!! KAREN LITERALLY OPPOSES SILVER'S IDEALS THE BEST!!!!!! AND SHE'S STILL THE STRONGEST E4 MEMBER IN THE JOHTO REMAKES.

I'm telling you, it's a missed opportunity for the games to have them meet. I don't know about other media ( maybe pokemas did it?) But still.

Also no, I'm not changing Silver as the head of Johto's battle tower. I already have an edgy rival turned dark type elite 4 member in Gladion. Plus I feel Silver would probably be a bit more appreciative of not having to limit himself league rules.

Tdlr: I want Karen and Silver to meet dammit, that would have been so interesting.

[mizartz]

more pkmn x danny phantom stuff because i have lost control of my life

also for anyone interested in AU ramblings, please enjoy the literal essay i wrote under the cut lol

THE PREMISE:

AU where pokemon exist in the DP canon. Universes are merged, so Amity Park exists alongside Kanto/Unova/etc in their respective real world locations.

Danny’s parents research/hunt dp-verse ghosts AND ghost pokemon. Their research is focused on the ghosts of once-living creatures, and also identifying the difference between “dead” and “living” ghosts. ex. A Yamask can be born from an egg, which means it never died, but it can also be the spirit of a dead person.

While the Fentons aren’t actively trying to exterminate every ghastly or duskull, they still have some serious prejudices against ghost types, and they DEFINITELY hate dp-verse ghosts as much as in canon.

The portal accident happens normally. Danny was due to get his first pokemon around the start of freshman year, but the accident (and his now spiraling school grades) put it on hold.

Instead, Phantom is exploring the ghost zone one day and passes by a Hisuian Zorua. Danny doesn’t think much of it, but the Zorua follows him home and quickly causes trouble. It seems to have a nasty grudge against humans, playing dangerous pranks against Amity Park’s residents and forcing Danny to send it back into the zone. After several return trips, it settles down and decides that it’s more interested in this not-entirely-living-or-dead kid than getting revenge. After that decision, Zorua quickly becomes Danny’s partner.

Since Zorua are inherently timid creatures and a Hisuian variant would attract a lot of attention (not to mention Jack and Maddie’s possible reaction), Zorua is almost always disguised as something other than its true form. Seeing a Unovan Zorua on Danny’s shoulder is common, as are Rowlet and Hoothoot. No one’s really sure where Danny caught them all, but they don’t care enough to ask.

Phantom, on the other hand, can be seen at night playing with a ghostly variant of Zorua previously thought to be extinct.

PKMN TEAMS:

danny:

hisuian zorua (discussed above)

absol (stalks him for a year because Danny is a Walking Disaster and triggers all of absol’s danger senses. maybe it tried to prevent the portal accident and failed?)

jazz:

eevee (lots of potential, connections to mutations/~molecules getting all rearranged~)

parents were pushing for eevee to evolve into umbreon, but………

sam:

bulbasaur (grass type, connection to “save the frogs” episode)

shiny purrloin (technically the family pet, but is fond of sam)

tucker:

helioptile (generates electricity, connections to desert and ”hotep ra” episode)

rotom (initially a pest who possesses his tech, later forms a rotom phone relationship)

maddie:

weavile (intelligent, vicious hunter. has hands to help out in the lab)

houndoom (hunter, pack animal, loyal)

jack:

slaking (lazy and unassuming but very powerful. has hands to help out in the lab)

porygon2 maybe? (gift from vlad with the intention of hacking their systems)

^^^ weavile and slaking are maddie and jack’s starters. houndoom and porygon2 are bonded to the whole fenton family rather than one particular person.

vlad:

crobat (vampiric, requires friendship- aka vlad isn’t completely evil)

skitty (nicknamed maddie)

noivern (vampiric, violent and cruel but can be tamed. maybe it bonds to Danny and defects?)

hydreigon (destructive and overwhelmingly powerful)

shiny charizard

also probably like a dozen dreepy/dragapult

^^^ most of vlad’s pokemon are just displays of wealth and power. he hasn’t seriously bonded with any of them except for crobat, his starter, and skitty, his “sister’s cat”.

also a note that im not necessarily choosing pkmn that perfectly match a character’s theme or aesthetics, but instead ones that are realistic for them to have in this universe!

WORLDBUILDING NOTES:

Starter pokemon are gifted by the child’s parents. Traditional starters like charmander/bulbasaur/squirtle are only available to those sponsored by a prominent pkmn lab and/or rich parents.

Having a full team is rare unless you’re a full time trainer… it’s just too expensive to house and feed them. On a similar note, shinies are basically unheard of unless you’re stupidly rich.

Pokemon journeys are still considered a rite of passage, but aren’t a universal experience. Not everyone participates, and those who do usually only get 1-2 badges before quitting. The average age for new trainers is around 13-16, though legally you can start at 10.

Amity Park is a ghostly hot spot just like Kanto’s lavender town. There are a few gravesites, but not nearly enough to justify the amount of activity it receives.

The ghost zone primarily contains “dead” ghosts, but “living” ghost pkmn are attuned to the zone and use natural portals to traverse the world.

The Fenton family’s pokemon are all either dark or normal type, for type effectiveness and immunity against ghosts respectively. Any pokemon they give to their children will follow the same type theme in the hopes that they will join the ghost hunting business.

Danny:

was very excited to start his pkmn journey, but with his new ghost instincts demanding he protect Amity Park, he can’t see it happening anymore. Also, while Zorua gradually grows more confident and helps Danny with ghost fights, it still hates having human attention drawn to it and wouldn’t enjoy the publicity of gym battling.

is friends with loads of ghost pkmn, but he never officially catches any besides zorua. They’re residents of his haunt, not his teammates.

if the accident didn’t happen, his starter would either be hoothoot (because of spooky from the initial show concept) or a common dog like poochyena or lillipup… the Fentons spent all their money getting jazz a fancy eevee so Danny’s starter wouldn’t be nearly as impressive :’) rowlet would only be a possibility if gifted from Vlad, though Danny’s parents wouldn’t approve as it evolves into a ghost type.

Sam:

is very anti-battling at first. She felt that battling was abusive and was probably very loud and in your face about it lol. However, Bulbasaur loves to battle and wants to use it as a way to get stronger and evolve, so after a messy disagreement, Sam begins to see it in a healthier light. She still advocates for better pkmn rights, but is careful not to speak over those she’s defending.

would probably join team Aqua, Magma, or Plasma for at least half a day before realizing theyre evil lolol. (then she’d work with Danny and Tucker to defeat them on the exact same day)

Bulbasaur has a lengthy pedigree and comes from a line of contest winners. Neither it nor Sam have any interest in continuing that tradition though.

is the most likely person in the DP cast to become the champion.

Tucker:

is neutral on gym battling. He thinks the concept is cool and likes watching the championships on TV, but is way too much work to actually participate in. His pokemon feel the same and are happy just helping with his electronics.

is obsessed with Silph Co technology rather than new PDAs. He’s always buying their newest gadgets, even if he doesn’t have a proper use for them.

babies the hell out of his pokemon. helioptile is his little angel who can do no wrong and he’s always shielding it from dangerous situations (which becomes a bit of an issue as ghost fights increase in frequency.) With rotom, hes always double checking that its comfortable in his phone, if it wants to possess anything else, if he should upgrade its appliances, etc etc.

Jazz:

never went on a pokemon journey. She thought it was a waste of time since she didn’t want to become a trainer anyway. However, ghost hunting helps Jazz discover her own love of battling, so now she kinda regrets it.

eevee eventually evolves into sylveon. Its prehensile ribbons help Jazz multitask and its empathetic nature assists Jazz with psychology. Also it can scare away Vlad’s dragons lolol. Maybe it evolves in the middle of a fight against him?

if she gets any other teammates, it should reflect her desire to keep Danny safe. Maybe a honedge? usually Danny’s the one with a sword in fanon, but i think jazz deserves one too!!!

so a little while ago I put my headcanon ref for Michael, now here's Wes (in a completely different style but whatever,, consistency? who's she?)

Wes was designed to be around 17, because the developers wanted Colosseum to be for a slightly older audience. As such, Wes' colour scheme is darker and his style is a bit edgier than your typical Pokemon protagonist. He definitely has a cool vibe with the split trench coat, the white stripe, the spiky hair, and the little skin shown despite living in a literal desert. In my headcanon of Wes, he's a bit taller? feeling than in the game to me. His spiky hair translates as floof in my style, but his hair is not as floofy as my headcanon for Michael.

as a kid I always thought Wes had a medium skin tone, but looking back I think he just has a tan from being outside in the desert a lot?? idk idc his skin tone is medium to me

continue reading for his Pokemon selection

Espeon - obviously one of his two starters. In game, Espeon and Umbreon's Where Met description reads as "Wes' old friend". So yep. The one thing I'm changing about Espeon is that I'm making it a female Espeon bc my brain reeeaally wants Michael's Sylveon to be the offspring of her and Umbreon. In the game, both Espeon and Umbreon are locked to be male.

Umbreon - Wes' old friend!! Not much to say here

Hariyama - The first snagged Pokemon is a Shadow Makuhita, so I wanted it on Wes' team. I tried to use Hariyama but didn't like it much, but whatever maybe Wes is better at Pokemon than me

Typhlosion - as I said with Michael, each of the trio get a Johto starter. Wes gets Typhlosion bc Wes literally blows stuff up when we first see him. I think the coolness of Typhlosion also works with Wes well.

Skarmory - poetry or something when Wes snags Gonzap's Skarmory. Skarmory is the first Pokemon we see in the intro, and Gonzap was Wes' boss. I just think it's cool, and Skarmory also looks really cool and matches Wes' aesthetic to me

Granbull - the little munchy doggo!! It belongs to Wes, I decided. Also Fairy type works well for his team I think

Ho-oh - at the end, Ho-oh joins his team bc I give all the trio a legendary. Wes doesn't use it for his battling team so I didn't include it in the ref

Honourable mentions: Hitmontop (story relevant Shadow Pokemon), Gliscor (matches his aesthetic, and when Chaterbox1237 suggested it... immediate agree), Weavile (matches aesthetic and thief kinda motif??), Honchkrow, Flygon, Heracross, Ursaring, Scizor (e-reader event)

Even now, I feel like most of the honourable mentions should really be on the team... maybe Wes switches his Pokemon out instead of having one concrete team? But he ALWAYS keeps Espeon and Umbreon on his team. They're his friends, rather than his teammates.

I’ve had a couple of pokemon au ideas for a while so might as well share here!

Wilbur with a Sandslash. Just because. Also an Absol.

Dream with a Reuniclus bc of the face and the colors.

Tubbo with an Espurr bc both are small and cute but terrifying.

Philza should have at least a Staraptor and a Corviknight. Also a Dusknoir to symbolize his connection with Death (Mumza) since Dusknoir guides souls to the afterlife.

Sapnap with a Magmar. Self explanatory.

Fundy with a Vulpix and Mienshao.

Ranboo with an Umbreon is a nice idea.

Quackity with a Golduck, Porigon 2 and Ludicolo. All of them look like ducks to me.

Skeppy with a Carbink and a Barbaracle.

Sam with a Watchog, Conkeldurr and a Garchomp. Sort of like an “intimidating warden vibes”.

Puffy with an Ampharos, Perrserker and Milktank.

Eret should have a Togekiss and a Latias and Foolish should have a Latios to symbolize their connection (Eternal Duo).

Purpled should have a Toxicroak and Mightyena (for mercenary work).

I see Ponk with a Tropius to kinda symbolize the lemon trees. Also a Weavile bc Ponk likes to steal a lot.

Antfrost with a Pyroar. (Velvet would also have a Pyroar)

Schlatt with a Persian bc he gives off Giovanni vibes. Also a Tauros or Bouffalant.

Punz with a Lycanrock (day) and Ninjask.

Hannah with literally every flower themed Pokemon. In this case Florges, Roserade and Vileplume.

Slimecicle should also have a Sligoo friend!

Sorry if it’s too long of a list but Pokemon Au’s are my life.

gonna go through all of these, and i dont mind the long list!! i love to talk about pokemon aus it's so fun, i guess the only thing i'd ask is to break it up into parts so i can answer it separately? i don't want a singular post to get too long, but no worries!

• antfrost & velvet matching pyroars that's cute yes, just give antfrost a lot of the cat themed pokemon (maybe some bugs also since the ant part, maybe durant)
