#Official Gym Leader

Official(?) Art for the 18 gym leaders #3

Felix Levine is the young flying-type gym leader. He's famous (and infamous) for his unique battles that challenge your ability to work with pokemon rather than just battling with them.

He does this with a dangerous sky-high battle over the air surrounding the City In The Sky. Many trainers are too scared to actually participate in his battles, and even more are refused by Felix due to being too young (since the legal age to obtain a pokemon is just 10 years old, after all).

Outside of his incredibly dangerous battles, he's known for being an amazing inventor as a graduate of the Sawsbuck City's official academy.

WE GOT NEWS ON LEGENDS ZA!!!!

I am SUPER hyped for it!!! Though as I looked at Taunie… am I crazy or does she kinda look like Viola?

I think it’s the hairstyle. It’s sorta similar. I wonder if there’s a connection there? Or maybe not. I’m probably just seeing things.

And have you seen our starters???

Chikorita, Tepig, and Totodile!!! I seriously don’t know who I’m gonna choose between these three. They’re all great. 😭

I also really like the protags!!

I thought they were gonna look like copies of Calem and Serena kinda like how Akari and Rei looked identical to Lucas and Dawn but they actually look completely different.

ALSO AZ OWNS A HOTEL??????

I did not expect that lol

Pokemon Selfship

Okay I had a version of this post I was writing before, but I kinda wanna start over cause this topic is like...weird for me? Interesting? Interesting. Stick with me.

Gonna be honest, I have a lotta Pokemon crushes. Like, a LOT. Melony, Nessa, Raihan, Irida, Ryme, Sada, Rika...those are just the few I can name off the top of my head lol. They're just so many pretty designs!

I did once get a selfship drabble with Irida (dunno if the writer is here on tumblr, but if they are I will tag her in a reblog), and that was fun. Had a lil thief guy who gets taken in by her, learns to be a better person. I might revisit it! Thing is...a lotta people assume Irida is like a kid! Okay, sure she's inexperienced and clearly new to this, but this woman is at least twenty. And then those SAME people will claim Adaman is an adult when it's clear they're supposed to be in the same age range and...ugh. You get it.

The Gen 9 ladies, I think it's more I just like their designs. I did write a bit of smth with Sada, but I never got super far. Plus a lotta fans seem to headcanon Rika as a girl liker, which is fine and it is just headcanons, but I dunno. She's great, I love her, but I think I just lack a connection since I kinda fell off with Pokemon in Gen 9. Same reason with Ryme, even tho I love old women.

Gen 8, tho? Now, I'm a big Gen 7 head, but there's a lot I like about Gen 8. It was the last gen I really followed intensely, especially with the character designs and animations. Gen 8 prolly has the best gym leader cast of em all, with my top three being Nessa, Raihan, and Melony. Bea is also really good imo, but those are my top three.

With Nessa and Raihan, I mainly ship em together, in the sense of like "I want them to be happy with each other" sorta deal. Course, I could poly it, but I dunno.

So that leaves Melony...I actually DO have art of a Melony self ship, but it feels...off. Like, an older version of me that longer feels accurate. If I were to redo a Melony self ship (and I am highly tempted), I'd prob redo it from the ground up. A new take, sorta deal. Might keep the notion all her kids are mine cause I love doin stuff like that. Could also ask around other Melony selfshippers, the ones of the sharing type.

At the very least, I think I was able to narrow down my actual feelings to just Melony, same as I did with Mariah. Which is good! Granted, I still do love Nessa lots, same with Raihan...maybe I'm just back in my Pokemon era lol
