fine

Eichi: Togekiss. Blissey. Clefairy Wataru: Togetic. Pidove. Meowscarada. Mime Jr.  Tori: Togetic. Stufful. Teddiursa Yuzuru: Togetic. Indeedee. Minccino. Budew.

One of the Fine’s images are feathers. So I searched for elegant (white or ivory) flying-types. Decision for between Swanna and Altaria. Altaria felt more fitting with singing themes in it. But. It does not have feathers; its wings are clouds. But then I looked more and decided on Togekiss. It’s based on doves, snowy owls and angels. Also, it has the ability Serene grace. Y’know, like Angelic Grace.

Eichi did not have Pokemons until he got out of the hospital. Eichi has bad health, so I wanted to give him pokemon to help with this. Choice was between Blissey and Audino. Both are about health and partner for Nurse Joy. Even though Audino is more graceful and its mega evolution has some resemblance to angels. All its descriptions are about hearing. Blissey is all about health and care. Also, Blissey are rare, so a wealthy family would get one. Eichi has been compared to the constellation Orion, and it became a motif for FS1, so I wanted to give him a star-based pokemon. Staryu does not really fit him, so I decided on Clefairy.

Togekiss is the only white dove-based pokemon. Pidove, despite having “dove” in its name, is pigeon. But I have no other options. He does have multiple of them. For his theatrical side, I went with Mime Jr. and Meowscarada. Meowscarada is a talented magician. Mime jr. is more whimsical and looks more like a clown or a jester than Mr.Mime (and I just don't really like Mr.Mime).

Tori likes stuffed toys, so Stufful was an immediate choice. Also, it works perfectly with them both being cute but also pretty capable and talented. Tori has a brown Teddy Bear, so Teddiursa goes.

Yuzuru is a butler, so Indeedee was first thought. Yuzuru likes cleaning and tidying up, so Minccino was an opinion for this. Yuzuru picked up gardening and got Budew, which had not evolved yet.

Trickstar

Hokuto: Starmie. Staravia. Gallade. Subaru: Staryu. Growlithe. Murkrow. Luxio Makoto: Staryu. Porygon. Rotom. Mao: Staryu. Espeon. Lilligant (hisuian).

Trickstar’s symbols are trickster and stars. Closest to trickster in pokemon is ability “Prankster”, but no pokemon fits Trickstar. So the choice was among star-based pokemons. Staryu looked more fitting. 

Staravia is a gift by Seiya who has Staraptor. Hidaka means “ice” and “hawk, falcon” and might be referenced to “The Nighthawk Star”. Staraptor line is based on predator birds (mostly hawks and falcons) and has “star” in all their names. Gallade is for Hokuto being “prince”. I wanted to give him Ceruledge instead due to Gallade being reserved for another unit, but it's so not prince-like.

Growlithe = Daikichi. The only shiba-inu-based pokemon is Okidogi, which is not only legendary but also evil. “It has body count” type of evil. So I had to look for other dog pokemons. Growlithe looks similar and friendly enough to work instead. Murkrow loves shiny objects, just like Subaru. Subaru hates dark places, so I gave him Luxio, which can luminate dark places (can learn move Flash) and has a star on its tail. Luxio is not a dog, so I could not use it as Daikichi. Subaru likes shiny things, so he can have a full shiny team.

Makoto is all about gaming and technology, so Porygon and Rotom both were a choice for different reasons each. Porygon is a virtual pokemon who lives in virtual reality. So it’s mostly just in PCs. Rotom can possess appliances and electronic devices. So Rotom can be helpful for him in various occasions, like going into computer, phone or camera, etc.

Mao was kind of hard for me to pick. There’s not much to pick from. Mao is sometimes described as a magician, so I decided to give him Espeon. It's psychic-type and pretty simple. Mao likes dancing, so I went with Hisuian Lilligant. The only other dancing pokemon is Meloetta, which is mythical.

RUYSEITAI

Chiaki: Minior. Blaziken. Vulpix Kanata: Minior. Frillish. Squirtel. Lanturn. Palafin. Tetora: Minior. Incineroar. Sawk Midori: Minior. Leafeon. Bulbasaur. Chikorita. Shinobu: Minior. Ninjask. Croagunk. Greninja.

First I was looking for super sentai or power rangers—like pokemon. But then I remembered that another RUYSEITAI’s theme is meteors. And Minior became the perfect choice. It has multiple colors for each member. There’s no actual black one for Tetora, but shiny is black! Also, now there’s no single leader, so a no-evolution line with no super forms (mega or g-max) works best.

Chiaki is very passionate about the color red, so I had to make all of his red. His introduction as Ryusei Red has "The red flames are the proof of justice!” so it must’ve been red and/or fire type. Blaziken was an immediate choice. It can also mega evolve. In the anime Mega Blaziken was protector of Kalos in ownership by Meyer. Armarouge was another choice, but it’s more yellow, despite pokedex color being red. Vulpix became the second choice. I think super protective over juniors Chiaki, having a not-evolved little guy cute and kinda fitting.

Kanata likes blue and loves the ocean, so blue water-type it is! His FS2 is based on jellyfish, so Frillish. He likes stuffed turtles so Squirtle. His last name means “deep sea” so Lanturn, who lives deep underwater (also it has a hero-like face mask). And Palafin, who looks like a normal dolphin but actually a hero. Like Kanata being actually stupid strong.

Tetora is Ruysei Black but like the color red and his Ryusei introduction references black flames. So Incineroar was the first choice. Also it’s based on a tiger and pre-evo has “tora” in its name. It would be perfect if Inceneroar was karate based, not wrestler. For karate i chose Sawk.

Midori likes greenery and cute mascots where the species is unclear. So Leafeon it is! Eeveelutions are pokemon’s second mascots at this point and they’re designed to look like a dog/cat/fox/rabbit all at once. Surprisingly, there’s not many veggie-based pokemons. So I went with starter pokemons that looked plant -enough: Bulbasaur and Chikorita (pokedex classifies it as green). They also work with “species is unclear”. Is Bulbasaur a frog or turtle? What is Chikorita?

Shinobu is Ryusei yellow and ninja so I was looking among that. Ninjask is based on ninja technique and yellow. Croagunk is used by ninja trainers. Greninja is also based on ninja and its category is ninja pokemon. And with that I cover his two pet frogs. Accelgor is also based on ninja, but doesn't really feel like Shinobu’s pokemon. 

Alkaloid

Hiiro: Nidoqueen. Dragonair. Gyarados. Turogue. Aira: Nidorina. Sylveon. Luvdisc. Swoobat. Mayoi: Nidorina. Shuppet. Umbreon. Gastly. Tatsumi: Nidorina. Hatenna. Maushold.

Alkaloid has multiple themes to look into: medicine/toxin, cards and keys. There’s no card-based pokemons. Galarian Wheezing is the only poison-type who is not just poisonous/toxic. And Klefki is the only key pokemon. In the end I went with Nidiqueen. Queen like in cards, it's blue like a unit color, it’s defensive more than offensive, i have no other options, i am working on it for hours already…

Hiiro had only Dratini before MDM and Hiiro started learning more about the world. Dratini evolved after the main story. I picked Dragonair line as a “village ruler’s family has that pokemon”. Hiiro is good at martial arts so went with Tyrogue for him. Who knows what it evolved into. For Hiiro learning world around I thought about pokemon which can easily be found. So Magicarp which already evolved into Gyarados. He's a fast learner (It can also symbolize Hiiro being called dumb in the village and now blooming into a strong idol).

Aira had an Eevee which evolved into Sylveon. Sylveon was introduced in France-based region and evolves from affection/friendship. Aira’s catchphrase is “Love”/”Rabu” so I went with Lovedisc and Swoobat. There’s not much pokemon that symbolizes love, btw (why Luvdisc is not fairy-type?).

Mayoi has association with phantom and ghost and likes cute things. So I gave him Shuppet, Gastly and Umbreon. Shuppet is described to feed on negative emotions which helps people. Umbreon is dark and evolves with friendship. Gastly has been shown to be able to move through the walls and can help Mayoi to escape unwanted social interactions with gas.

Tatsumi was kinda hard. The only religion pokemon in-universe gods (god of sea, god of time etc) and THE God. So no pokemon for this. One of Tatsumi's specialties is sixth sense, and pokemon have the ability “anticipation”. Hattena prefers to be with calm people and can have that ability. Tatsumi likes to do house chores and Mausihold is the only pokemon that can learn move Tidy up through level up. And it's a family of four, like, y’know, Alkaloid.

I get to make Pokémon yuri as a little pride month treat

[cappycodeart]

I'm Mao Onigawara of the Ground Defense Force! I'll protect the peace of Japan!

I was privileged to be part of @dotzines pris-M-agic Zine project, and this is my illustration for it! When picking a magical girl, I wanted to represent a series that was influential on me growing up but would be underrepresented in the zine. Despite other options having a more meaningful influence on me now, I knew they'd be (rightfully) more popular. However, Ground Defense Force Mao Chan was the anime that REALLY got 10 year old me into anime (and, down the line, magical girls!). Strange, right? With these two combined factors, it became an obvious decision.

As for the drawing itself, I wanted to highlight the titular character Mao. Despite being mostly pink in design, her representative color in the story is green. It was a fun challenge to balance that out appropriately while also finding a way to convey her role in protecting the land/ground/earth.

FULL ZINE CAN BE FOUND HERE!

smash or pass time 💥💥💥💥

Badgerclops from Mao Mao, Rawk Hawk from Paper Mario TTYD, and Dusknoir from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon

He's good, ye! Admittedly I think how he's stylized in the show makes me a little less interested, but still a smash for sure

Oh HELLLL yes, absolutely smash!! Definitely one of those characters I remember being attracted to since like forever ago

Dusknoir in general is such an extreme smash for me, but granted I don't know a whole lot about PMD Dusknoir specifically. Though, if he's shitty, I'm sure I can fix him (´ω｀*)
