How to interact with Pokemon IRL blogs that are radically different from yours

Note: This will be assuming that both blogs are open to interacting with any other type of blog. If the blog you're trying to interact with does not allow interactions with your blog type, then I'm afraid this guide won't be of much use. Sorry.

It's been pointed out more and more recently that the Pokemon IRL community has become more and more compartmentalized, for lack of a better word. Subcommunities are having less and less interactions with each other.

I'm not mad at anyone, but this is a problem. Which is why I'm making this guide, to help facilitate interactions between subcommunities!

Part 1: Don't be scared

First of all, I know it can be scary to interact with blogs you haven't interacted with before. But what have you got to lose? Worst case scenario, they say you can't interact with them, and things stay the way they are. In most cases, though, you'll get a new person to interact with! It's near impossible for reaching out to be a net loss, because the worst thing that can happen is that nothing changes.

So go for it! Interact with that blog you've been eyeing! Make a new friend!

But you might not know what to say. And that's what the rest of this guide is for!

Part 2: Read the intro post

Intro posts are very important! They let you know a lot of relevant things about the blog. It can be very difficult to interact with a blog without an intro post, so make sure to make one and pin it!

With that out of the way, read the intro post of the blog you're wanting to interact with! Read through it fully, and see if there's anything that sticks out as a possible interaction point.

If you can't find anything, read through a few more posts. There might be something happening that you can jump in on!

Part 3: Differences in Canons

Your blog and the blog you're wanting to interact with most likely have some differences in canons. Maybe they're a PMD blog and yours is a Ranger blog. Maybe they're post-Sword and Shield while yours has them ongoing. Maybe they're a Faller blog and yours is someone who's a fan of the media that Faller is from.

And that's ok! Part of the fun of Pokemon IRL is that not everyone follows the same canon.

Luckily, one thing that is accepted canon for 99% of Pokemon IRL blogs I've seen, is the multiverse!

Not every blog takes place in the same universe. The website that Pokemon IRL takes place on is multiversal, and connects to a vast variety of worlds.

Don't be discouraged if someone else's blog canon doesn't match up exactly with yours. Use it to your advantage! If your blog and someone else's blog have a canon difference, that's a possible interaction! Have your character comment on the difference, and watch things play out!

Part 4: First Interaction through an Ask

If you found something through your reading that you see as a potential interaction point, then it's time to interact!

The easiest way to interact with blogs for the first time, from my experience, are asks, so I'll cover those first.

First, it's completely fine to have a "default" ask that you send to blogs you want to interact with. Heck, I do it myself, with Tropius' "what's your favorite thing about humans" asks.

Besides that, though, I recommend @-ing your blog in your ask. That way, they'll know it's from your blog, and you can spring off into a full interaction from there.

You can also send asks on anon, and then when they reply to it, reply back via a reblog on one of your blogs.

Any of these methods are perfectly valid!

Part 5: First Interaction through a Reblog

When reading through the blog of the person you want to interact with, you might see a post that catches your eye, one that you feel like you could interact with directly. In these cases, a reblog might work best.

Simply start a reblog to that post, add whatever your character wants to say, and post! And with that, you've initiated an interaction!

Part 6: An Example

Let's say that we have a blog called mcdeinosofficial, a regular person working at the restaurant McDeinos. And let's say that they want to interact with a blog called throughtheoceanoftime, a PMD blog that's about an Explorers protag team.

Reading through the pinned post of throughtheoceanoftime, the person behind mcdeinosofficial sees that they have a Deino on their team who's a chef. Having an idea for an interaction, the person behind mcdeinosofficial sends the ask "Please tell me that McDeinos doesn't exist in whatever whacko alternate dimension you're in."

And an interaction begins! The two blogs, now introduced to each other, can interact with each other freely.

I hope this guide helps you all interact with more blogs!

If any of you have any questions, please let me know, and I'll do my best to answer them!

OOC

I'm going to preface this by saying that I'm not mad at anyone. I love the Pokemon IRL community, and I'm so so happy to be a part of it. And I don't plan on leaving for good anytime soon.

But. Look.

This is getting out of hand.

I've been here since November of 2022, and I haven't seen things being this bad in the community since The Incident.

I'm trying as hard as I can to hold things together, even when it seems like everything's falling apart. But it's getting really exhausting.

So that's why I'm making this post.

There's a lot of problems happening in this community, and I'm going to try to address at least a few of them in this post.

So, here we go.

Part 1: Anon Hate & Other Harassment

There's unfortunately a lot of this in the community. I've been a victim of it myself.

Anon hate is a serious problem that has led several pokebloggers to completely disable anon asks or even leave the community entirely.

I'm not sure how to combat this, unfortunately, other than blocking them as they come, but that's an imperfect solution.

There's also been direct harassment, too, not just through anon asks. I'm unsure how to tackle that either, but I'm spreading awareness just in case.

Part 2: Lack of Engagement

There's a ton of blogs that get little to no engagement, and not for a lack of trying. Pixelated made a great post on this already, so I won't rehash it much.

My main advice is to send asks. That goes both ways. If you see someone struggling to get engagement, send them an ask, brighten their day!

And if you're struggling to get engagement, send asks to as many blogs as you feel comfortable. That way, you put your name out there.

I know it can be scary to send asks, but if it helps, you can send one to me! I won't bite!

Part 3: "Cliques"

There's a lot of subcommunities in the Pokemon IRL community. Eebydeebies, Fallers, Blueberry Academy, and so on. And that's great! What's not so great, though, is how some of these can be rather cliquey.

Sometimes, it's hard to join a subcommunity. Sometimes they push you away, are just difficult to fit in a new blog, or something else.

I've been trying to remedy this in the eebydeeby subcommunity by having Gen send asks to every new eeby blog I can find, but I'm not in every subcommunity, so I can't do this for all of them.

What I suggest to remedy this is, those in subcommunities, reach out! If you see someone trying to join, reach out and welcome them in! Send them asks! Tell other people in the subcommunity about them! Let them know that they're welcome there.

Part 4: Lack of Warnings During MMM

This one is something that mostly just affects me personally, but Muse Mixup Madness has been extremely stressful for me because people keep completely changing up their blogs with little to no warning.

One of my worst triggers is post-apocalypse, and I've been jumpscared by this several times during Muse Mixup Madness by blogs that were previously safe.

Please warn what your Muse Mixup Madness stuff will contain, and please use content warnings, too.

Part 5: New Blogs Dying

This is one of the ones I'm saddest about. Almost every day, there's at least one new person trying to join Pokemon IRL, but 75% of the time their blog dies within a week.

I recommend supporting newcomers as much as you can. If you see a newcomer, send them an ask! Interact with them! Boost them if you feel comfortable with it! Don't let them feel so discouraged that they leave so soon.

I recommend checking the reblogs on realpokemon's pinned post every so often. It's a fantastic way to find new blogs.

Part 6: Exhaustion & A Call for Help

I've been trying very very hard to fix things, but I'm only human (as much as I wish I was a Meganium). I can't do everything by myself.

So I'm asking for help.

I have two blogs primarily made for boosting. @pkmnirlblogboosting and @tacklrnews. Former is OOC, while the latter is IC.

Pkmnirlblogboosting is for boosting blogs that either have less than 75 followers, or are less than a month old. If anyone wants to help me run it and boost blogs, feel free to send me a message asking if you can be added to pkmnirlblogboosting.

Tacklrnews is for reporting on events that are happening in-character. Its primary purpose is to boost stuff happening on people's blogs that they want more people to see and interact with. If anyone wants to help me with this, feel free to send me a message asking if you can be added to tacklrnews.

A caveat with tacklrnews: It's fully in-character, so you'll need to create a character for it to be a part of Pelipper's little news agency. It also writes articles on Pokemon RPC and Pokeask blogs, so to people in those communities, this offer is open to you all, too.

I hope these will both be helpful in revitalizing the Pokemon IRL community.

Part 7: Moving Forward

So, how do we move forward?

I think we should be more supportive towards others in this community. Less OOC anon hate and harassment, more engagement and boosting. Tell your fellow blogrunners how much you appreciate their blogs! Let them know they have people who care about them.

I love this community so, so much. I don't want it to fall apart and die. I'm doing everything in my power to keep it standing, but I'm just one person. I need your help, too.

Together, we can make this community better.

That's about all I had to say.

If you've read this far, thank you. I really appreciate you taking the time to read through this.

I'd appreciate any reblogs to spread this around, but don't feel pressured to if you don't want to.

I hope you all have a wonderful Pride Month.

I also like drawing, warrior skitties, and roleplaying! I have other interests but those are my main ones! I play games sometimes, but I'm not very good at them x_x

I'm not really a pokemon trainer… I only have one pokemon haha! His name is Goldie, and he's a purrloin! He's kind of a cranky old man but he loves me!

[bellafragolina]

Can I request the diamond and pearl clans comforting banished reader

I’ve already written for Adaman and Irida comforting the reader here but I’ll include some bits from the wardens in this for you!

🍓🍓🍓

Pearl Clan:

News of your banishment reaches the wardens slowly, as they’re not within the sphere of communication. As they return to their village, however, they learn of your banishment, and how Irida is hiding you in their village. And they rush to your aid, heartbroken for the betrayal you’ve faced

Ingo brings you kits, purring bundles of fur that nuzzle into you and mew mew mew for your attention. He shows you how they like to be petted, sitting close to your side to let you not feel alone. He’s here. He’ll protect you.

Calaba knows recipes of times past, passed down to her from her ancestors. She coaxes you into helping her make them, showing you how to prep meat and vegetables and cook them with pastas and breads to create the most delicious of foods you’ve ever tasted. As you eat, she pets your hair and promises you a home in the Pearl Clan, no matter what

Palina offers hugs and kisses to soothe you. She cuddles you closer, pressing kisses to your head as she rocks and sings. Her voice carries so soothingly, that even in your despair you’re able to sleep in her warm embrace. She stays by your side at night, to make sure you’re not haunted by nightmares

Liam doesn’t know how to help like the adults, so he takes to distracting you. He bring you his entire rock collection, and teaches you about each stone. He talks and talks and talks, anything to get you to smile at him, to get your mind off of the worry of how you’re going to solve the problems weighing you down

Gaeric is of the idea that exercise solves everything. He wants to go on runs together, to do push-ups and rock climbs until you’re too tired to worry about anything. But after you asking (or Irida scolding him) he eases down. Instead, he shows off his strength to distract you, having you on his back as he does push-ups or climbs mountains.

Diamond Clan:

The Diamond Clan is horrified to hear of the slight you've received, cast out of the home you thought you knew, could trust, could be safe within. They happily accept you into their village, and the members rush to let the wardens know what happened, leading them back to you

Arezu clings to you during this time, fretting over you even if you have no injuries. She takes you on what is basically a spa day, washing your hair, cutting it, styling it, and giving you clothes and such to model for her. She wants you to have a little fun, to forget your sorrows and relax. Anything for her favorite little faller

Mai has big sister mode fully activated. She mothers you quite a bit, fraught with gentle teasing to make you laugh and smile. She makes sure you're well fed and taking care of yourself on your journey to discover what to do, and worries about you constantly

Melli is furious. He hates you (so he says), but this is outrageous! To be abandoned like that! He vents to you about how terrible Kamado is, how cruel he is to do this to you, validating all your feelings of anger about what's happened. You hug him, and he yelps, groaning as he pats your head and continues on with his ran about how the Great Melli would never do that to you

Iscan cries a bit over your banishment. He feels for you, being so scared and seemingly isolated. You get many a hug from Iscan, who clings to you as though to protect you from anything else that could hurt you. You relish his hugs, his warmth, his protection, even if there are no monsters around. He has a lovely singing voice as well, taught by Palina, and his lullabies are beautiful, lulling you to sleep with ease

Sabi weeps too, once she gets to you. She cries about knowing something bad would happen to you and not doing anything about it. To make it up to you, she's on you like a Komala, clinging to you wherever you go. She wants to play, to make you little gifts and bring you things she and Braviary find while flying around. You have to assure her she's not to blame some, but even still, she wants to comfort you however she can

🍓🍓🍓

ta-da! finished moving house and cranked this bad boy out!! enjoy!

~Renee

[whipitgoodfvk]

Hello there! I'm also a Faller from a world without Pokémon - may I ask what yours is like? There's such a wide variety of people on this website, and it's always interesting to hear about others' worlds.

~@gilded--imprisonment

My home world... well, I cannot quite say it is as interesting in an average person's day-to-day life as the one I am currently in.

My occupation tends to bring me into the more... unsavory parts of my world. The places where people are driven to commit the most heinous of acts.

It is not all bad, though. My job as a prosecutor involves bringing the guilty to justice, and I have a close-knit circle of friends (and more) back home.

One thing that does exist back home that I have not seen here in any capacity is spirit channeling. My partner back home is one of the occasional people capable of channeling the spirits of the dead and temporarily taking on their form.

Spirit channeling does not get used in court nearly as often as one might expect. The dead are often no more reliable than any other witness, as I have learned the hard way.

[onestepbackwards]

(Chatting)

I know a lot of people love the Self-Aware Au.

But I can’t help imagining the Hisui residents being in another universe that playing PLA gives us access to. They are unable to see us but can feel us looking over the MC’s shoulder.

=================================

Most of them brushed it off during the first few days. There were enough things to worry about before Ward (and wasn’t that just the oddest name for a young girl) fell from the Rift... Until they started noticing something following the sky-faller. It seemed to have some control over the girl if all the inhuman feats she pulled off were any indication. Not to mention everyone could feel it looking at them from behind her.

The first few signs were hard to miss. Ward was able to stay up for several days and nights going on surveys. Except she started sleeping through entire days, getting up at specific times, went out to catch, and repeat. Her throw accuracy topped even that of Captain Cyllene, though according to the Professor she would occasionally break a ball on a tree. Secondly—Ward never seemed to get dirty despite being in the wilds for so long. How ironic dirtiness would be more normal than her spotless ness.

Pokemon caught by the corps member would rarely if not ever misbehave. She tamed them in some unseen ways but even too-powerful ones who ignored her commands never grew hostile. They were too frightened to tell her off for sending out Pokemon inside Jubilife Village.

(Marie seemed to be affected when she didn’t mind how peculiar the Pokemon were. How did a wooden fence stop them from rampaging???)

It could also predict what their requests were going to be. Ward spent many weeks religiously catching Buizel before taking Dorian’s request. His new Buizel was the exact size he had been looking for to aid his original one. Beauregard got three new Wurmples with the being saying something about Beautifly being impossible to get with one. And wasn’t that a shock! The non-human thing would make rare comments on issues—it seemed to have selective hearing...

A rather startling surprise came when it left Ward standing in place. She didn’t talk but they heard her hum, saw her fidget, even stretch.

Never did the being get truly mad. Frustrated over losing the chance to catch a rare Pokemon was the closest. But a poor Agriculture corps man was left shaking after Ward listened to him talk about his Cherrim request. Kichi described the absolute hate directed at him for half hour from it. First, he felt its gaze focus on him more intently than a casual glance over. Then he could feel the thing glaring at him and its voice complained so much about how stupid Cherrim was! He just wanted to see the complete entry!

It got mad enough to leave Ward stuck for a few minutes in front of Kichi. So. The entity didn’t like all Pokemon as its dedication to the Pokedex project indicated...............

========

Otherwise, us playing through Day and Night cycles. Sleeping at camp. Getting through requests as quickly as possible. And hearing about the dreaded Cherrim quest yet not knowing who exactly gave it to us.

I might write more of this. What do you think?

These ideas are very interesting, building off of that last ask 👀

Idk, just the idea of characters being wary of a ‘vessel’ is pretty neat.

To everyone, it’s just weird. No one really knows how to react to the hero, seeing as they are just… only somewhat there? Just a puppet to whoever is really in control. It makes conversations… tense.

And seeing everything they do… being able to sleep like a rock without moving a muscle, as much as needed, at any time. It has people on edge. Especially since despite how the hero may sleep in the weirdest places at the weirdest times, pokemon don’t attack the camp.

Sometimes the hero will just stare in the fields at nothing, standing there for hours. Sometimes even days.

If you watch them long enough, you start to notice how often they repeat thing. The same exact stretch, the same exact look around, the exact same hum.

It’s unnerving.

Sometimes the people think it’s better if they leave the hero alone…

Best not to poke the beast behind the hero. The one they cannot see.

[prayers-to-hyliarceus]

[A blank recording is attached. It seems it was extracted from a video that was too glitchy to show anything. The audio sounds almost exactly like an old janky radio would, but it’s clear enough to be able to hear the two Pokemon. The two gods. Translations pop up on the black screen, provided helpfully by Rotom.

[“You came with company,”] Dialga rumbles.

[“It was not my intent,”] Celebi murmurs. [“I come to ask you—”]

They cut her off with a low growl. [“Have you allied with these humans?”]

Celebi goes quiet. Says, after a few quivering trills, [“They are Fallers.”]

[“So you know even less of their background.”] Dialga sighs. [“Child, I worry for you sometimes.”]

[“I— Thank you? I didn’t think you—”] Celebi stammers, and Dialga interrupts her with another rumble.

[“You are too kind for your own good. Is your duty not to show yourself only in times of peace?”]

Celebi falls silent again.

[“You sense it, too. Not only has it been mere months since that foolish human attempted to rein my power as well as my Sibling’s, there is yet another great danger looming over us. Galactic,”] Dialga spits. [“What a far cry from the goodness of its ancestor.”]

[“My— My power is weakened,”] Celebi says feebly. [“I cannot traverse through the ripples of time, nor can I return to my sanctuary.”]

[“And your instinct is to endanger yourself by traveling with these humans instead of seeking solitude to recover yourself?”]

[“Look, I came to you for a favor. I want you to completely halt the flow of time in the land of Hyrule.”]

It seems that Dialga was momentarily stunned into silence.

[“If— If it is within your capabilities.”]

[“Of course it is. But that place is not my world to meddle with. It is not even of this universe.”]

[“Please.”] Celebi’s trill sounds… desperate. [“It will be thrown into peril without those four humans within it, and the humans are terrified of that.”]

[“You want me to do this for the humans?”]

More silence. Then a deep, windy sigh.

[“Do not look at me with those eyes. Your soft heart will get you killed one day, child.”]

[“You will do it?”]

[“Against my better judgment, yes. You like to provide relaxed and humorous company when you are not nervously asking for a favor, so… I shall give something in return.”]

Celebi, despite herself, gives a nervous giggle. [“Thank you, Dialga.”]

[“Never show me another human’s face again.”]

The static suddenly escalates before the recording cuts off.]

[lumenflowered]

[A video is attached. If the comparative stability of the camera is any indication, Ade's the cameramon again for this one as opposed to Patches, which is honestly quite the improvement.

The mist on the ground is gone, and Mallory looks like she's been on the receiving end of several Potions if not a Revive.

"Well, shit," she mutters. "Didn't expect to lose."

"Is that what you said the first time, too?" Maria asks.

Mallory snorts. "No. I was too busy screaming because a corpse just came to life, monologued at me, and stabbed me to realize I'd died until like, a minute later. Also I had to take several to just... lay on the floor and stare up into oblivion. You know how it is."

"I... suppose so." Maria does not sound like she knows how it is. More like she doesn't and she's feeling far too awkward to ask further clarifying questions.

"...I don't think," Mallory says, quieter, "that I've ever been that happy to lose. I... I don't want to talk to her. But I want to just forget who I was before Yharnam even less."

"I'm sure she'll be fine with you," Dee says gently. "She was fine with me, after all."

"As a traveling trainer like any other, yeah."

"Then you are going to talk to your mother?" Maria asks.

"Yeah. I will. I just... just need a moment. Maybe several moments." Mallory buries her head and her wings and lets out a long, slow cry of "...Fuuuuuuuuuuuck..."

"Take your time," Dee says gently.

Unfortunately for Dee, and especially unfortunately for Mallory, it's then that an unfamiliar voice says, "Er, excuse me? You two are trainers, yes?"

The camera turns to reveal a elderly woman with dark hair and dark eyes. She's using a cane. There's a single Pokéball on her belt.

She bears a striking resemblance to the human Mallory used to be, which might be part of why Mallory tries to press her head even further into her wings.

"Yes, we are," Dee answers for both herself and Maria, because Maria is just staring. "We just finished up a battle, as a matter of fact... I'm sorry if we bothered you."

"No, no, you girls didn't," the old woman says dismissively, waving her free hand with a fraught smile. "I just happened to notice that... well, for once, it wasn't raining. Was that your doing? Sunny Day?"

"That may have been mine," Maria says, though it certainly wasn't any of her Pokémon that used Sunny Day.

"Ah. Well, thank you. It's lovely out here when it isn't raining." The old woman pauses, gaze drifting to Mallory. "Oh, hello. I don't believe I've ever seen a Pokémon quite like you before!"

"You wouldn't have," Mallory says miserably, still ineffectually trying to hide behind her own wings. "I'm... I-I—"

"She's a newly discovered species," Dee says. "One of relatively few able to telepathically communicate with others. And... a bit of a special case."

"Oh?" asks the old woman. "How so? Oh, wait, I'm being very rude—what is she, then?"

"She might be able to answer that better than either of us," Maria says, with a pointed look in Mallory's direction.

Mallory is still hiding behind her wings, but she does respond, after a pause, with a quietly mumbled, "I... wasn't always a Pokémon. I was human once. Years ago."

The old woman gasps. "What?! How did that..."

"The long and short of it," she says, albeit a little less muffled as she extricates her head from her wings, "is that I fell into a hole. I found myself in another world."

"Oh, I see. You're a... Faller, then?"

Everyone present currently except for the old woman is a Faller by some definition, but no one brings that up before Mallory nods, blinking hard, still not meeting the old woman's gaze.

"Suppose so," Mallory says. "I wanted to get home. No matter what. And I did, in the end, but I... wasn't human anymore."

"Oh, that's..."

"But I'm still me." She meets the old woman's gaze, finally. "Even if I'm not human anymore, that's okay, my best friend isn't human either—I'm still me. I—"

Her eyes narrow. The air itself ripples, and between her and the old woman, an illusion of a different human appears. A young adult, maybe twenty, with dark hair stuffed under a hat and dark eyes identical to the old woman's own. Identical to Mallory's, when the illusion falters and she chokes back a sob.

"I'm still me," Mallory repeats. "Do you... do you still remember me...?"

A hand flies up to cover the old woman's mouth as she gasps. As tears spill forth from her eyes.

As she asks, in a voice that sounds as if she's afraid to believe her own eyes, "Lory...?"

"Hi, Mom," Mallory says weakly. "I'm—I'm sorry I didn't come home sooner. I missed you. I—"

She's cut off, very suddenly, by the old woman rushing forward and pulling her long-lost daughter into a hug.

The video ends.]

[stovetop-scientist]

Hello, Internet.

My name is confidential. Call me Pyro instead- it saves a lot of time. Please don’t call me a “metal man” or a “tin-can”- I am NOT a robot. This is just a kickass suit.

I’m what you might call a “faller”. I’m not from this world- I’m just stuck here temporarily. Something to do with a portal mishap.

Currently, I live in Paldea with a Clodsire. I will not be saying anything more about my location. I don’t need to disintegrate more people…

I’m on here because it seems similar to a website I had back home called Tumblr. This seems to be the exact same thing, but with the prefix “ro-“ added to it. Weird.

Feel free to send me asks. There’s not a guarantee I’ll respond though- busy figuring out how to get home and all that.

//modshii here (@genshiicomms) supplanting my pokemonIRL addiction with a new guy. this one is an

OLD

OC of mine that I am planning to use for a comic. as usual, no blatant NSFW. bro is ace he doesn’t need your shit

Expect darker themes with this blog. he got his arm ripped off in the main continuity.

[unculturedmamoswine]

Does it bother you that there's no canon demonym for Gravity Falls? No? Okay well, fine, but this post is about that so. Don't say you weren't warned.

(A demonym is the name for the people of a place. Someone from Oregon is an Oregonian, someone from Indiana is a Hoosier, etc.)

In Oregon there's only one town that I know of that ends with 'falls': Klamath Falls. I was like, OK, cool, well, what's THEIR demonym? This can be my gateway to true Gravity Falls headcanons. Well, their Wikipedia page doesn't say, and neither does Kalmath Falls's website.

I dispatched a trusted associate to r/oregon asking reddit about the demonym situation. The responses were what you would expect, at least if you know much about Klamath Falls: Klamabaman. Klamethhead, Klamsman, retired, and other incredible witticisms from the internet's top minds.

However, my contact also got some responses that seemed possibly real: Klamather, Klamath Faller, and Klamathian among them.

Then many months passed. Anytime I met someone from Kfalls I asked them if they knew what the demonym was and nobody did.

And then today I met someone who knew someone at the local paper and also maybe the chamber of commerce? Whatever, the point is he Knew People. And he texted those people for me. And you know what?

They don't have a demonym. Klamath Falls is such a nowhere town that nobody cares about that there isn't even a name for who they are.

And if that ain't Gravity Falls energy I don't know what is.

[alatlus]

Aight, so I've been talking to @cosmic-seer and @dipplinduo about some ideas I've been thinking of for Pecharunt, and I think I've just about pieced together the main parts of a backstory for Pecharunt, and I think I'm ready to share it! Buckle up, cuz this is a long one:

Pecharunt was a human apothecary in a past life who used to research the natural world around them while not on the job. He had actually been the first one to discover and lay a case for the concept of evolution (the Darwinian kind specifically). However, his theories were promptly rejected because of:

1. Being too ahead of his time.

2. His findings going against religious doctrine.

About the second point...

His findings had actually caused him to have a crisis of faith where he would struggle for his love of their deities due to a now perceived absence in their lives. He would take a brief reprieve from his job as an apothecary and go soul-searching in then Hisui in hopes of saving any sense of faith in a higher power he may have left.

That's when the climax of Legends Arceus happens, and he runs into our Faller character. He talks to them about what happened on Mount Coronet. He then later asks about how they ended up in Hisui, what brought them here, and what this god of theirs looks like. And when the Faller said that this all-powerful god of theirs had picked them at random, ripped them away from their friends and family, threw them into a time period 200 years away from their own, and abandoned them once they were no longer needed, with no hope of coming back home... it was a rather sobering moment for him, to say the least...

It pretty much killed his faith in Arceus before he could gain any. And it left him... bitter (see what I did there, lmao) towards the old god. When he returned to Kitakami, he returned a sour man (S&S D puns go brrr). And when he died, he died with a heart heavy with anger, grief, helplessness, and a feeling of intensely personal violation.

Helpless. Like a little boy caught in the flow of a mighty river.

[professor-brain-juniper]

So we have a group chat for Pokemon professors and students, right.

I wake up one morning, and I decide, hey, why don't I check that group chat for once! It's been a while!

The first thing I see. Is that the "What the fuck, Kalos." channel has been updated.

I think. Oh. Maybe it's just another issue with the recent environmental shift. Or maybe an Espurr got loose.

No.

Professor Sycamore himself posts in that channel, what can only be described, as a six foot tall humanoid war machine with angel wings and a shotgun.

It is apparently. A faller.

I am sat, still in bed, still being crushed by my Liepard, and I say, in the chat, "what the fuck is that."

Professor Sycamore says the robot identified itself as "V2" and had recently been in a battle, wherein it's opponent had "Hit it so hard it clipped through the floor."

I then ask. "What are you going to do about this?"

Professor Fucking Sycamore, Bless His Heart, then says "I'm giving it a Pokemon."

I close Discord.

[yharnamcrow]

Good day. My name is Eileen. You may call me Eileen the Crow if you wish to be formal. I have been informed that I am what one might call a Faller. Someone from another world that has ended up in this one. I hail from Yharnam, where I spent most of my life as a hunter.

I am exploring this region with multiple people, some of whom are friends and familiar faces from Yharnam that I have met once more on my travels. I am also accompanied by five children from Kalos. As of this update, Team Flare has been wiped from existence, and Kalos is safe once more. My team as of now consists of six Pokémon. My first was my Absol, who has been named after a dear friend.

Sometimes, Calem will gain access to my phone, he likes to record videos of my battles.

Furthermore, we have Father Gascoigne, his wife Viola, and his children here as well. He does have a single Pokémon, a Kleavor, and has no interest in becoming a trainer. He cannot write well at night, since he becomes a beast.

Henryk has joined us as well. He travels with Izra, a Zapdos, which he says has chosen him. Henryk is rather taciturn, don't hold that against him. You can make him happy by asking about his dog, Mudball.

Henryk's partner is Djura, who is partnered up with an Entei.

A rather surprising addition thanks to Calem has been Gehrman, who is, as of now, thirteen. She is in the process of figuring things out, do let her work through that, yes?

As of now, we have another Great One with us. Trevor has been Chosen by Endling, a Yveltal.

Rounding out the group is my dear Maria, who I missed dearly

Here's to a peaceful coexistence. Have a look at my current trainer card.

@kayuripax here. I am back on my bullshit, thanks to @ofstormsandfire, awesome friend and mun of @lumenflowered. Now Eileen the Crow joins the fray of pokéblogging.
