I feel like you'd draw Grimsley, Cynthia, or Elesa from Pokemon. Their designs seem to be right up your alley.

(Gonna answer all here since tumblr replies are a bit clunky,,)

All three are actually among my top faves! Grimsley especially with that style of his- especially his kimono look for which I just die for (which is apparently from Sun/Moon? Damn I missed so much not finishing it;;). Cynthia.. well she's just Cynthia- what's not to love? She gotta be one of the most pokèmon characters ever,, Elesa- absolutely loved her style in BW but I just fell in love with her B2W2 version- the contrast of that big, puffy jacket with her slimmer outfit is just.. *chef kiss* in my book. But- intimidated by such gender characters- I never attempted to draw 'em;; Been tempted to draw Grimsley for a while tho-

(Rest is underneath)

Omg how could I forget about them!! I think they were even my favourite elite 4 in HeartGold- heck shame on me for having to check who they were- (even though I think it was because names in italian are always different- poor guy named Pino.) With my love for masked characters I'm also surprised I never drew 'em.

(I already replied in the comments but yeah dfdsd)

As I said I only know Guzma as the "goofy bad guy who either isn't actually bad or had an hard past- oh also he loves his lil' Wimpod" that I usually see in fanarts- and if that's him, I love him :,> But since I never even met him in game I had no chance to draw him,,

Lysandre instead- other than him being an ass, I'd say he was unlucky to be in X/Y since it just didn't stuck with me :/ so I just- kinda forgot about him. He got so much style tho,,

Will I can see why some would think I drew 'em before- but.. why Chili? He even ironically was the only one of the twins I left out my tier list since I was just neutral about him dsdjsd. Never drew the fire waiter- that hair would be a nightmare to translate in my style too,,

Honestly? I think the only thing that stopped me from drawing him was the fact I just could not draw guys when I was obsessed with him;; (talking back when BW came out so- almost 10 years ago? Damn.). Absolutely adore him as a character and his story/theories still gives me the chills- should really consider doodling him sometime.

Oh I feel that honestly- I have gaps all over the place with both characters and pokemons, either because of memory or not having played that version ahah

But both of them, even though I haven't drawn either? Absolutely loved them,, both being stylish mysterious strangers that just decide to help/fight you on your journey- 10/10 in my book.

I'm extremely surprised that no one guessed the characters- I mean they were just 3.. with me not even saying from which games they were from so... understandable dfdjhf Two of them just seemed so obvious tho! Especially since I think I even talked about them a bit or even outright said I drew them but never posted it at some point-

But there were some really good guesses, my taste does actually shine through the characters I choose to draw as I thought then-!

How about top ten favorite pokemon/pokemon characters?

Hahaha, games or anime? Well, I’ll do a mixture of both.

Alan — (PokéAni) — He’s my favorite overall and that’s probably more than a little obvious at this point, heh. I’ve also explained why a dozen times so I probably don’t need to go into the whole spiel again. He is my valiant dragon son and I honestly don’t think I’ve ever related to a fictional character more than I relate to him.

Zinnia — (Pokémon ORAS) — Alan is my favorite character overall from the anime, but Zinnia is my favorite character overall from the games. I once saw someone say that the way Zinnia talks about the original Aster can’t be insinuating anything other than romantic love, and that is absolute nonsense because the speech Zinnia gave about Aster was exactly how I felt about Shiloh, right down to “I loved her, I loved her with everything I had … but I still lost her.” It’s just love. But without spiraling into Discourse™, my main point here is that ORAS came out about two months before Shiloh died, and so I experienced the Delta Episode right around the time of her death. Zinnia’s grief over Aster hit me hard because I was similarly grieving Shiloh, and that coupled with the fact that I adore her attitude and personality (she takes no shit from anyone, not even fandom’s darling Steven Stone, and I love it and I love her), made me fall for her pretty fast.

Ash Ketchum — (PokéAni) — I feel like I can’t mention PokéAni characters without mentioning my other child, who is Ash. Honestly, I’m mostly thinking of his OS characterization here—he was at his best when he was at his most snarky and feisty, imo—but I love him overall anyway. I’ve loved him since childhood and I’m not about to stop now.

Morty — (Pokémon GSC/HGSS) — The Gym Leader of Ecruteak City and perpetual straight man to Eusine’s … well. Eusine. I always thought he had one of the best designs in the series (something HGSS somehow managed to improve on) but while writing playthrough drabbles of SoulSilver I really became attached to his character (and how I expanded on him) and his relationship with Eusine. I’ll always love Morty, and speaking of him …

Eusine — (Pokémon GSC/HGSS) — This overdramatic dork, I love him. I love how he is in the games, and also how I was able to expand on his character (and relationship with Morty) through the drabbles. Again, I’ll always love Eusine. He’ll always be one of my faves.

Cheren & Bianca — (Pokémon BW/B2W2) — I’m cheating a bit by putting them in the same numerical list, but a.) I’m quickly running out of room, and b.) they’re the Best Friends™, so I feel like I’m allowed, especially since I could never list one here without listing the other. I absolutely love both of these kids, to the point where when N made passive-aggressive comments about them in Chargestone Cave I wanted to punch him in the face (like, I like you, N, but you’re not my bestie, watch yourself). I love how Cheren tries so hard to be responsible, mature, and on top of things, yet is still a teenage boy at heart, and although Bianca got the short end of the stick in the original games (they screwed her over so hard and it is unjust), I love that she ends up becoming Juniper’s assistant. These two will always be my favorite rivals. Always. ♥

N — (Pokémon BW/B2W2) — I can hear his theme music in my head even now. What I love about N is that it requires such a perfect balance to get his characterization exactly right. He was lied to about certain aspects of Ghetsis’ plan (he never knew that pokémon were used to build the castle, he didn’t know that Ghestis planned to overtake the throne and rule), but at the same time he was perfectly aware of other aspects (he knew that they were going to take over the Unova region by force, knew that they were going to separate people from pokémon, et cetera). N is proud and extremely intelligent, has his moments of jealousy and salt (his comments against Cheren and Bianca in Chargestone Cave scream of jealousy to me, and his “I was even starting to like you a little” line in the castle is salt if I’ve ever heard it). He’s a wonderfully complex character and I love him for it.

Emma — (Pokémon XY) — Emma is by far my favorite character in the Gen VI games. She starts off as a tough street urchin who is taken in by Looker, and quickly reveals herself to be an extremely loyal, warm-hearted, dedicated, responsible person who wants to do anything she can for the people she loves. Her post-game story was the first time the Gen VI games actually moved me, 

Gladion — (Pokémon SM) — Here’s another character whose theme music I can hear in my head right now, as well as another character who was shafted unfairly by the narrative. I find Gladion’s responses to the abuse he went through at Lusamine’s hands to be incredibly relatable and realistic, given that many of the ways in which he behaves and dresses are ways that I myself acted when I was young and fresh out of my abusive mother’s household. In this respect, I could relate to Gladion far more than I could relate to his sister. I wish that Gladion had an actual role in the climax of the plot, as he should have, but I love him every time he shows up anyway. At one point Guzma was like, “It’s time to battle ya boy!” and I was just like, “Gladion’s here?!” Sorry, Guzma, but I really don’t care about you. I’m here for Gladion, 100%.

Lillie — (Pokémon SM) — That said, I also really, really love Lillie a lot, too. She’s the actual protagonist of the Gen VII games, the one the story is actually about, the one who actually moves it forward, and she has some of the most pronounced character development out of any character in the games (starting from even before her outfit change—remember, she chose to go to Aether Paradise with Plumeria, she wasn’t strictly kidnapped). Lillie is great, and I’d love sequel games set in Kanto/Johto/Sevii where we get to face her as the rival. I think that would be fantastic.

Honorable Mentions: Karen (GSC/HGSS) and Iris (BW/B2W2), who wouldn’t fit on this list but whom I still adore beyond reason. Oh, and Cynthia (DPPt), too. And Roxie (B2W2), and Professor Burnet (SM), and …
