............what if I told you this was a Pokemon AU fanart.

I don’t remember if this has been asked, but what Pokémon do you think the CR people would have? As many or as few as you’d like

Oh god it has been asked and I freeze every time because special interests colliding, FAK. I just forget every Pokémon I've ever known.

Yasha would have an absol and a comfey. Ampharos also very good choice for her because I mean it's a sheep and a badass. Obstagoon(they wrestle). Midnight lycanroc (he's the best boy and you know it). Gengar. Molly took it in and raised it from a gastly and when ownership passed to her after he died... Yasha and haunter both evolved in a way.

Beau has a sandshrew because I'm projecting and I said so. She grew up in a mudhole town and it was her first and dearest friend. It does not fight and if you insult it Beau will skip the battle and lay you out flat herself. It also never evolves and this is because sandshrew is my boy so Beau gets the sandshrew. Dairon gave her a meditite for early training, which is hilarious to me because Beau hates meditation and by the time she's learned to be cool with it she has a medicham that can kick her ass. Like her reward is a viable sparring partner. A pancham picked a fight with her one day - her, not her Pokémon - and apparently she proved herself because now she can't get it to leave her alone. It loves head scratches. It will initially punch her in the ribs if she gives them but only after she's done. Later on it grows to love them unironically and also she's a huge and warm pangoro who looks after Beau. Greninja. Toxtricity because she can't be poisoned and it rules. It really likes yasha and that's mutual. Lucario.

Jester has a gardevoir that will absolutely destroy anyone who fucks with her. Slurpuff. Totodile. Starmie. Alolan ninetales. Furret or stufful.

Veth: inteleon, sableye, parasect, salazzle, vileplume (for alchemy reasons but also she kind of loves that it smells bad). Thievul.

Fjord: honedge, gyarados (yes he got swindled into a magikarp and made it work), tentacruel, rayquaza (I don't usually do legendaries for characters but I mean, primordial snake god thingy is right there). Zoroark. Blastoise.

Caleb: litten (as a familiar, never evolves) umbreon, cubone that showed up hungry one day (alolan marowak) mudsdale, munna (takes away bad dreams). Ditto.

Caduceus has a gorgeous meganium, a shaymin, a shroomish, a trevenant, a diglett, and mimikyu. He's probably seen what's under the hood (if anyone was going to...). Girafarig. It just makes sense.

I'll think about other campaigns but the m9 are for obvious reasons the ones I've actually thought about.
