all i gotta say is

[roxannarambles]

Nemona is the best rival in the entire franchise (other than perhaps Lord N), allow me to gush for a bit . . .

Her raw enthusiasum and sincere, joyful obsession/hyperfixation on pokemon battling is just so wonderful. I love her energy, and I love how infectious her excitement is, and I love how she rocks up and takes one look at us and is like ‘I like you already, I can already tell you’re Good People and you are my new best friend’ and she honestly means it. It feels like the extrovert taking the shy introvert under her wing, which is damn wonderful when you’ve been lonely and friendless for a long time. She’s bubbly and she’s smart and she’s poised, and she somehow takes something that I am bored with (the same old gym battles we’ve been doing since we were six) and breathes new life into it. 

And she has plenty of flaws too, her character has depth to it (just like the other two main characters), which I also appreciate so much. The main 3 play off each other very well

I feel like Nemona finally achives what Gamefreak has been trying to accomplish with a friendly rival character for ages

And the way her story with the player develops and concludes!! The way she so desperately wants someone she can go all-out against, the way she genuinely believes in us and helps us grow, sometimes throwing stuff at us that’s a little bit unfair but she does it ‘cause she thinks we can handle it, pushing us just a bit past our comfort zone, but also pulling her punches other times, understanding that it’s a balance....

but maybe even more importantly, NOT being into pokemon battling just for power or just ‘to be stronger’ like so many other characters but instead being into it because. it’s fun. it’s fun. not some fake-ass afterschool special “oh it doesnt matter who wins or loses as long as everyone has fun,” but just wanting a genuinely GOOD battle, is all. wanting to win yes but also just enjoying the thrill of a close match, appreciating something that’s well-played by both parties. like, I’m pretty sure this is something the franchise has tried to express TONS of times before but this is the first time I’ve felt like they’ve actually nailed it. 

and we start with nemona choosing the starter that’s weak to our starter because that’s what she does, she holds back because she wants to give people the chance to learn and grow, she wants to share the love of battling with others, and then by the end of it, when she finally fights you in the last battle without pulling any punches, and how estatic she is by the end of it, it’s so cute and it’s so great

immaculate vibes

#924.5 - Tandemaus are comprised of a loving pair that will stick together no matter what. They demonstrate excellent teamwork, sharing any food they find equally between them and living and fighting in tandem. They are known to work together to raid houses in search of resources to build their intricate nests; using their incisors to cut pieces of material and ferry them back to their hidden den. A Trainer with a domesticated Tandemaus may be lucky enough to witness the growth of this young family. Wild Tandemaus hide their eggs and young away in secure, burrowed nests until they are old enough to join the family out into the world as Maushold, making the new little additions seem to appear from nowhere one day. The parents will protect their little ones during battles, though during tough fights, the whole group has been seen joining the fight.

Named: Tandemaus - ? -  Maushold

#0980. Clodsire (Ezerart)

It lives at the bottom of ponds and swamps. It will carry Wooper on its back and ferry them across water from one shore to the other.

Colour and symbol charts can be found here.

This sprite was designed by Ezerart! Permission has been kindly granted for its use.

A note on colours: in my experience, floss looks different irl than in online pattern makers. If you think a different colour will work better, go with your gut!

I know I posted about wanting Malva's ancestor to be more relevant in PLZA the other day, but I just wanted to expand on things a bit more.

I feel Sycamore's or Diantha's ancestor being the Volo in PLZA would be too predictable, like everyone would be suspecting them now, they just wouldn't be an effective twist like Volo was. (As an aside tho, given Lysandre's and Sycamore's friendship was sus to me back playing thru XY for the first time, especially with how much Sycamore plays off Lysandre's blatant bloodlust as him being "passionate", I was predicting he would be evil too and they had some joint leadership ship thing going on, so I'd be leaning towards Sycamore's ancestor being main antagonist here.)

I don't think Malva's ancestor would be an effective twist either since she's a background villain in XY, which is why I would hope they don't go the twist villain route with them at all (that's been basically all our main villains since Gen5 or Gen6, it's a twist with varying degrees of success). Just have the bitch/bastard energy unapologetically running in the family, it's okay. But I feel a more villainous ancestor would work well for her, give them the screentime she should have gotten as a villain, y'know?

#1009.? - "Walking Wake" is a mysterious Pokemon believed by leading researchers to be an ancient relative of Suicune that was brought to present times through a time machine. A ferocious and formidable creature, Walking Wake is a force of nature, capable of walking on water despite its large size. They possess strong hind legs, which are able to support the weight of their heavy, uniquely shaped set of horns, and walk bipedally. If theorists are to be believed, over a very long period of time, Walking Wake evolved as a species to become the smaller, faster, and quadrupedal Suicune that is known as Legend in modern times. With the increased balance of walking on four feet, Walking Wake's once powerful tails have developed into elegant streamers that gracefully dance on the north winds that follow Suicune as it races the world to purify polluted water.

Named: “Walking Wake” - - Arukune - - Suicune
