#Pokemon man.

[yunisverse]

Been thinking about my old fakemons and what good good pubbies they are.

Cerbernard's barrel is full of aged berry juice that works as a Full Heal for lost and injured mountaineers. Berrel's barrel is full of Berrel.

i love comparing pokédex entries for the same mon between different games bc almost all of them will be very brief, matter-of-fact, purely scientific without any first person pronouns or personal information about the author. and then you get to the legends arceus entries and laventon’s writing stuff like ‘ngl i still don’t understand this species’ ‘i tried petting this pokémon once and it bit me’ ‘i live in fear of this thing’ ‘man i miss galar. who said that’

i like to imagine akari got to wear the uniform he wanted after the end of the manga. (who is this? pokemon history under the cut!)

for those of you who don't know, this is akari from the manga 'how i became a pokemon card (1999)'! (bulbapedia link)

he is a trans boy, and to my knowledge is the only canon trans boy in all of the pokemon franchise among the small handful of canon trans characters.

this manga never got an official localization, so how some chose to translate the matter of akari using different pronouns differs from translation to translation. the sentiment stays the same though - akari is a boy, though he was born a girl.

this and the tension it causes with his mother is the main focus of this chapter of the manga. i would even say the subject of dysphoria is communicated pretty decently for how old the manga is, though usually through the metaphor of pokemon!

though the ending for the chapter is kind of ambiguous, so i wouldn't call it a perfect representation, its still pretty cool to see a canon trans character in a manga thats almost as old as i am. thank you if you read this far, and please give this manga a read!

I think he'd like them

do skully have pokemon?

Pumpkaboo is the obvious one, but y'know, sometimes the obvious one is the right one! (we'll say SUPER SIZE Pumpkaboo, just for fun. big pumpkin for big skeleton boy.) and another person actually also suggested Greavard, which I somehow hadn't considered, but feels so perfect that I feel like I should have. dangit.

(they can also have little Nightmare Suit costumes :D)

”Perhaps a Pokémon battle with you would jog this memory loose… Would you honor me with a battle, <player>?”

Probably not the best idea to do greyscale painting on a tinted canvas.

This was a lot funnier in my head- XDD

Also I'm currently GRIEVING FireAlpaca so hard rn. Trying to keep Grimace on model without the use of copy and paste was not fun 😩 and after all the sketching was done I realized that I drew him a liTTLE BIT TOO SMALL!! 💀💀 WOW I WISH I HAD THE RESIZE TOOL 😭😭😭

Hopefully soon I will get past this trial and can finally return to my pc and draw comfortably once again 🙏🥹...

[evilwizardrealm]

oh yeah! the top 300 results for the pkmn tcg illustration contest came out today - i didn't make the cut, so i'm sharing this guy here instead 👍

[dotted-clouds]

Silly mood to draw my faves 🤭

volo edit under the cut ↷

I just really thought this was necessary 😭

[deedra-posting]

... I mean, Adachi Rei is a real robot but I wanted to include her. Was also debating on Spamton's inclusion but fuck it he's a spambot he gets a pass

100% sure it's been made multiple times but I wanted to make my own version

[adobe-outdesign]

confused but well-meaning Alakazam that overhead that its trainer didn't "have enough spoons to do the laundry today" and now keeps spawning in dozens of literal spoons to try and help them out

Sometimes, you realize how long somebody’s been there for you and you want some emotional vulnerability as a treat.
