#Galaxy Team

I noticed something really REALLY cool about Legends arceus while looking up references, and it's so little, I don't know how many other folks have noticed it!!

The pokedex you get at the beginning of your journey;

Perfect, crisp and brand new! So many pages to fill! Untouched by anyone ever, the first to ever exist! The original pokedex.

But at the end, with a completed pokedex;

The title of the book is all ripped and damaged! It's been through so many surveys and treks out in hisui's wilderness! The edges of the blue cover are faded and dulling, maybe got wet a few times with run ins with outbreaks, being jostled around in a pack exploring around the region. The black binder holding it together after all this time is equally as banged up, probably barely keeping the stuffed pages inside safe and tucked away, but still doing its job.

This is the first ever pokedex, this is the one that began the understanding of pokemon as we know it, bringing humans and pokemon together as friends in the distant future. Before technology advanced and made the pokedex we were first introduced to in Kanto so many years ago.

It's falling apart and has been waterlogged a few times, it's recorded so much and survived raging lords, hordes or pokemon, alphas, an exile, gods of time and space, a banished deity, and faced almighty sinnoh.

And it was written, filled out, carried and protected all this time, by a kid who did their best to help the professor who first met them in Hisui.

And it survived.

Thinking about the fact that the river that goes through Jubilife is named the Milkiwa river.

You know, like "Milky way"

Because they're the Galaxy Team.

Ingo comes visiting the pearl settlement in the Icelands and over hears a conversation with Irida and a pearl clan member… he does not like what he’s hearing.

More under cut

I would think he’s upset because he doesn’t want someone to experience what he has. Still tryna figure out how to draw Akari.. the headkerchief thing is a pain-

Ingo has been in Hisui for about 5 years at that point in my hc, btw.

Proud of the drawing tho. Thanks for the compliments btw :]] Poll ends soon btw.

2nd Speech bubble (upper right): "You mean like warden Ingo? I find that hard to believe… But then again, maybe that’s what Almighty Sinnoh wants. Maybe there’s a big plan…?"

3rd Whisper/Speech bubble (lower left said by Ingo): "Fuck."

4th Whisper/Speech bubble (lower right said by Ingo): "not again…"

I did this one a while back and forgot it. But basically, how do you expect a islander not to fish and well...you know, make themselves a good dinner.

Yes, it is canonically that they do eat pokemon in the pokemon universe.

Since the Galaxy Team/Survey Corp in Legends Arceus was later reinvisioned as Team Galactic in DP, I wonder if the same could be said of Team Flare, and they get an initial non-villainous incarnation too. (Like, maybe just a regular police force like Officer Jenny or whatever, since Team Flare has secret police traits like spying on Holocaster conversations, implied plainclothes agents, and control over the news media.)

Kinda expecting PLZA to be more of a modernization of a past version of Lumiose, akin to this:

The Pokemon Gen 8 protagonists wouldn’t get along

too tire to put into proper words but basically boils down to Galarian/Sword&Shield protagonist(s) have every thing in the story handed to them in a very literal sense through out the course of the story and that in turn warps their perspective and entitlement (as seen in the shift in dialogue from nervous/confident to cocky/entitled. In a weird way the almost swapped personality aspects with Hop, who started off the game very entitled and arrogant before being humbled/destroyed by Bede’s words before Stow-and-Side.

Meanwhile the Hisuian/Legends Arceus protagonists are forced to work for literally everything they own for the clothes off their back to the roof that houses them to basic medical necessities ONLY for it ALL to be taken away as soon as everything turns south due to their bosses poorly handled but understandable fear. Then when they FINALLY fix everything, they are stabbed in the back by the ONLY person who stood by them- no the only FRIEND they could trust because God decided the protagonist was their specialist little blorbo.

The Galarian Protagonist was celebrated as the sole hero and subsequently treated as near royalty whereas the Hisuian Protagonist was simply EXPECTED to fix everything with varying levels of apprecitation

since melli and sanqua are both named after members of the camellia plant family and have similar ish hair colours/textures , i have a silly HC that they're cousins

(and also that melli's distaste for the galaxy team comes from sanqua leaving the diamond clan to join them and landing a very good position there - despite being a warden himself he's still kinda jealous of her)

Do you ever think one of those evil pokemon groups like team plasma or team rocket ever invaded a town, and rummaged through someone's house only to find that the owner of the house was doing some really messed up illegal shit. And it's like. They're a team grunt, they don't know how to deal with this horrific scene, so they go to the police in tears trying not to throw up at the mere mental image of what they just saw despite being part of the antagonistic group

or is that just me

more legends arceus playthrough thoughts:

adaman is very cool he’s my new skrunkly

i like the duality between the diamond and pearl clans, because they’re clearly both right and also because they have the ha ha funny names

still suspicious of volo how did he find me

kleavor scares me they’re really hyping this mf up as a noble

haven’t fainted yet, still excited to get jump scared by being spotted and the ominous red eye appearing followed by getting the people’s elbow from a geodude

these people are way too trusting. i’ve been here like four days and they’re already telling me to go investigate their almighty noble pokemon’s behavioral issues

diamond clan leader: cool blue guy who looks like a water gym leader

pearl clan leader: madoka magica?

are their clothes based off of legendaries thats funny. adaman’s reminds me of… kyogre i think. the blue one. and irida looks like groudon or whatever the name is but a lighter color

irida is an incredible name for someone who leads the pearl clan, i love silly gem based names. mmmm iridescence, my favorite kind of gem quality (not really but it’s close)

adaman is probably based off of adamantine, which is also an incredible naming device?? that’s basically the diamond equivalent of iridescence. did you know that the word diamond ultimately came from the word adamas? and diamond is the most well known adamantine substance? AND the orb used to summon dialga is called the adamant orb? i love figuring out possibilities for how a name ultimately came around.

just before i hit post i looked back at my switch and realized why this mfs hair looks so familiar. i played through all of the scarlet/violet dlc before i even got arceus and this mf looks like PERRIN!!! im sure this is well known but i didn’t know and now im proud for realizing it :D

EYYYY MY PLATINUM POINT PURCHASES FINALLY ARRIVED!!

It doesn't matter if the Legends thing is to keep your cables together, it's gonna rock on my purse looking all cool and stuff! And the Quaxly Keychain is gonna be there too, the Fuecoco and Sprigatito get to go on my other travel bags XD

The paper packaging card for my Galaxy team clip is super nice too, may keep it for a craft or something, too nice to toss away XD

"All you can do is stay true to your own values"

I really enjoy playing with short phrases with word art, and Cyllene's quote is perfect for quoting!

Materials: Crayola Marker. The paper is from a normal composition notebook.

Uuuh I think the Survey Corps has one very fucked up member do you agree

Bonus version as a Valentine's card

Second Round even better than the first. Two batches coming your way. Finished up the designs for both the Pearl Clan and the Galaxy Team/Volo so I'm dumping them both into one post. I really like how the Pearl Clan came, or maybe that's just because there is less blue this time (seriously why is there so much blue in character's designs in this game). First off Pearl Clan:

Next up Galaxy Team + Volo in the bottom right:
