#pokespe ship text post

[yuttikkele]

pokemon really likes ambiguity and leaving things up to the player/fanbase (you get to chose everything about the player character, there’s like only a few canon couples out of the whole series, etc.)

so, basically, we decide on those little ambiguous details.

and i have not met anyone in this community who thinks red and blue are remotely straight.

so, since we’re all in agreement, we’ve basically canonized these 90s kids as homosexuals

WAIT I DIDN'T KNOW YOU READ THE POKEMON SPECIAL MANGA TFIYFYI

Huge agree to everything you said here!! The manga is absolutely amazing and the Hoenn arc is probably my favourite for so many reasons including the romance. Honestly the whole of how Ruby and Sapphire's relationship developed in general is great, kudos to the writers, I think it was one of the first romances I actually enjoyed.

Yellow my beloved!! Honestly they were so good in their arc, I adored the team Yellow built. It's not that novel of a concept but seeing their Pokemon that were commonly considered weak being a threat was amazing to me. I love the team building in the manga in general honestly, it always lets Pokemon considered weak just look really great. Delcatty and Mightyena holding their own against Norman's Pokemon? Amazing I love Ruby for it.

I'm sorry if you didn't want replies to the PokeSpe post fhfhk I tend to ramble a lot when people talk about Pokemon. Take care and I hope the booster shot symptoms don't hit you too hard!

OH MY GOSH?? A FELLOW POKESPE FAN AS WELL?? MILKYWAY I AM HIGH FIVING U SO MUCH RN

literally, LITERALLY, like. god. the pokemon special manga didnt have to go as hard as it did, but it did, and it was amazing. of all the pokemon medias, it's my favorite. like, the anime (+movies) i like for nostalgia factor, the games i like for the gameplay factor, but pokespe.....i like it for the reason that matters most to me when i enjoy medias, it's amazing for the STORY

HOENN IS MY ALL TIME FAVE REGION. confession, i read halfway thru the sinnoh arc too and i loved it but i stopped halfway cuz i was like. nothing for me is gonna top the hoenn arc kjbKJBJSDF

before i ramble about the hoenn arc tho, i'll talk about everything else cuz yess yESSSS YELLOW!! YELLOW MY BELOVED!!!! pls, they were so gender and im just a sucker for healer characters who also just value kindness so much, kindness not as a weakness but as a strength, also she was a cowboy, yeehaw, what is NOT TO LIKE???? i need to reread the kanto arc tho cuz i forgot so much of the details but yellow was v v important to me. in johto, my fave is yellow, followed by red, and then green and blue. i love all my children but im allowed to have favorites ok kjBKJDSF

johto was also frigging fantastic but i dont remember much but the fact that gold's defining characteristic was that he was so mom friend that he was Powerful. also that he and silver are boyfriends, i dont make the rules, it's there in the (sub)text

and also ur right, ur RIGHT. POKESPE SO GOOD CUZ ENSEMBLE CAST AND FOUND FAMILY VIBES AND TEAM BUILDING!!!!! literally everything i love in stories can be traced back to pokespe omg. EDIT: REALIZED I MISUNDERSTOOD WHAT U MEANT BY TEAM BUILDING DGHGJKDGDGK my point still stands tho

but hoenn. man. hoenn.

reasons i love hoenn, an incomplete list because the complete list would just be me quoting volumes 15 to 22 of pokesp out word for word which i do not need to do with u cuz uve read it but

IDK MAYBE I WANNA PSPSPSPPSS PPL TO READ POKESPE. CUZ SO LITTLE PPL HAVE!!! IT DRIVES ME NUTS!!

ANYWAY, REASONS I LOVE HOENN (AND WHY U, READER OF THIS RESPONSE WHO IS NOT MILKYWAY MAY LOVE IT TOO)

the romance. this is predictable for me ok, i just love a good love story and ruby/sapphire is the only canon romantic ship that happens and for good fucking reason. because their relationship development and story knocked it outta the goddamn ballpark

queer allegory so blatant to anybody who is not cishet like. god. i dont even have to explain this, it's obvious to anybody who has read it JKJBSKDFJKS

true for all the pokespe arcs: subversion of tropes. like u said, pokemon that r seen as weak get their moment to shine, and people with characteristics and traits that are seen as weak are shown that those traits are actually strengths and make them special and who they are. //SOBS!!

true for all the pokespe arcs as well: fantastic balance of action, comedy shenanigans, and angst. //chef's kiss

srsly these kids had Trauma. theres The Incident but also norman (ruby's dad) like uh. why the HELL were you SO VIOLENT IN THAT ONE SCENE??? when i read this at 11yrs old i was like "oh that makes sense, norman is angry cuz ruby ran away!!! it's tough love!!" but now that im 22 yrs old im like "HEY, NORMAN? U HIT UR KID. THAT IS PHYSICAL ABUSE TO A CHILD." like im glad norman does better later and that they reconcile but also what the fuck

BUT what i wanna talk about most is ruby and sapphire's character. it's frigging incredible to me, the both of them. how one traumatic Incident that happened when they were kids changed the entire course of both their personalities because that event instilled core fears into them.

ruby who was at first into battling but after The Incident saw that battling (that pain) made his best friend look at him with horror in her eyes. sapphire who as at first a meek prim proper girl but after The Incident saw that this made her helpless and powerless to save her best friend who got so frigging hurt. both of them fixating on that. ruby fixating on how pain made him "ugly", sapphire fixating on how meekness made her "powerless"

and thus them going forward in a different trajectory. ruby finding his footing in beauty, aesthetics, and performance, and being a snotty bitch (affectionate) at ppl into battling. sapphire finding her footing in becoming a battle master to hone her strength and also literally grow up in the wilderness, she was the BLUEPRINT for the feral girl archetype but actually done well. they reunite, do not recognize each other, clash so much because the other embodies something they dislike (cuz in the past that something fucked them up so much) and then coming to accept all parts of both each other and themselves

and then they fall in love

foils to one another, finding parts of themself in the other, learning to be vulnerable and trust once more

//SOBS CRIES WAILSSSSS!!!!!

EDIT: i love that ruby makes a huge personality trait of his just bitch (affectionate). hes such a bitchy piece of shit with a heart of gold, sapphire got her work cut out for her slowly falling in love with him kjbkJBKK

anyway you should go read the pokemon special manga if u havent, dear reader of this response who hasnt read it yet

heres where u can read it all

hoenn arc is volumes 15 to 22 (skip "The Mt. Silver Training Chapter" between 15 and 16)

but fair warning, beginning of hoenn arc starts and islinked to the ending of johto arc so itll be a BIT CONFUSING FOR THE FIRST 20 PAGES OF VOL15 but it's fine, you can handle it, i believe in u.

and yknow, if u do wanna get the full context, why not just read everything before hoenn as well? because KANTO AND JOHTO ARE REALLY FRIGGING GOOD TOO.

//breathes heavily. okay. okay im done rambling. i just came home from getting my booster shot and typed this all in a frenzied daze. i need a nap and also breakfastKJBKSJFD

THANK U FOR THIS ASK, MILKYWAY!! i....really wanna reread hoenn now and will probably liveblog the process

[mspaintmysterydungeon]

HI EVERYONE!!

you can call me cy (they, he, or xey pronouns acceptable) and welcome to ms paint mystery dungeon, the blog where i draw all your faves from pokemon mystery dungeon, but yknow, badly!

important info is under the cut as well as some fun extras. the general tags i use on this blog shall all be tagged on this post (except for individual character tags), so if you want to search through all the art or all the text you can do so at your leisure. enjoy your stay!

🍃-

Important things first!

the mod of this blog supports: pretty much all lgbtq+/queer people (including ace/aro people and those with more specific identities or genders), accessibility (i try to describe images when i can, and if there’s certain things people want tagged i sure can try), and all that. you guys should know the drill by now.

-> i am only one person with a limited amount of patience, so for my own comfort if anyone who goes against these things (or just personally makes me uncomfortable) decides to follow they will likely be blocked. additionally, anyone who supports the shipping of generally Gross things (things like adult/minor, siblings, etc) will also be blocked. i can’t think of everything else rn but i’m sure there’s more, if you wanna clarify something first though just ask!

🌸 -

ok i think that’s most of the important things out the way. now for some fun information about myself!

-> i am 19, and my gender n stuff is Eh but i just call myself a nonbinary wlw/lesbian. my main blog is @ mntcoronet !

-> my first pokemon game ever was in fact gates to infinity! (…technically it was pokedex 3d but shh). i watched the trailers all the time on the eshop when i was younger, and i loved any story with animals or animal-adjacent creatures as the protagonists, so it was the perfect way for me to get my first taste of pokemon. i later got x as soon as it came out, and from there i was unstoppable! i’m now trying to catch up and play some of the older games because i got Just interested enough in dppt at the end of last year.

-> fave pkmn characters: honestly as a whole i cannot decide. however the ones i’m thinking about most right now are the future trio and chatot (i know it surprised me too)

🌒-

my progress through the series:

-> played to completion: gates to infinity, x/y, or/as, sun/moon, sword/shield, legends arceus (well the story content at least)

-> in progress: platinum (up to 8th gym)*, explorers of sky (post game time weeoo), black/white, emerald

* i lost motivation to finish it, but i have read the adventures/pokespe chapters so i have at least some idea of the other stuff.

and that’s it for now! thank you for reading, hope you have a good day :)

Pinned post I guess.

I am currently on pause for this blog.

Warnings!

I will describe posts including ships that some may consider to be bad! I am trying to go back and tag ships that I have already rebloged, and I do try and tag ships now, so just block things that you don't like! I have also recently started tagging things with stuff like "age gap," but just be warned that I haven't always done this so please be careful scrolling and block what you don't like!

I make frequent spelling mistakes. I'm sorry. I really do try to catch them.

Blog information:

I describe Pokespe and Pokemon DPA posts. (And Pokemon game and anime posts too, only very occasionally though, as there is a much higher concentration of those.)

I call the male trainer Blue Oak, and the female trainer Green. If that will confuse you I recommend not looking through this blog.

On other name stuff, I call Lack Two 'Blake' and Whitley 'Whi Two', I'm not sure why, but it's just what I do.

I use the cannon pronouns for all the characters! (Just bringing this up because I am aware that many people use they/them pronouns for Yellow, but I use she/her for her. I don't want to catch anyone off guard.)

There will be untagged spoilers.

Tag information:

I tag most characters with "trainer [name]" but professors are tagged as "professor [name]" and pokemon as "pokespe [name]" or "[name] pokespe". (As long as I remember.)

If you want me to tag a trigger, just ask. (I already tag for blood, swearing, suggestive and age gap.) Of course I do make mistakes from time to time, so please just be careful!

Everything will be tagged with fandom tags and tags showing what kind of description it is. (Image or video.)

Posts that are my original post will by tagged, "my post."

Posts that are not Pokespe will be tagged both "not Pokespe" and what they are. Example: "pokemon dpa," "pokemon game," "pokemon anime." But will be tagged otherwise the same.

I tag posts that have text that I cannot read and/or cannot type (Spanish, Japanese, Korean, etc), "untranslated text" as well as what the language is called in english.

About me:

You can call me Bats! I like animating and drawing, and a lot of different fandoms, but this blog is for Pokespe. (And Pokemon DPA.)

Socials (Image descriptions are not often found on any of these):

My main blog is @savebatsfromscratch.

My Statetalia blog is @savebats-statetalia.

My scratch account is found at this link: https://scratch.mit.edu/users/savebats/

And finally, another Pokespe blog that I help out with. (This one has image descriptions.) @textpostmemespksp

my personal headcanon for red is that he can talk, but he chooses not to. he can also sign, but again he chooses not to. the only people that can communicate with him are his close friends, and everyone else is confused.
