Lacey introduces herself as a second-year student, and Crispin is confirmed by a line of (extremely easy-to-miss, thank you Game Freak, lol) NPC dialogue to be a first-year.

Uva/Naranja's classrooms follow a number-letter naming scheme, 1-A, 1-D, 2-G, while Blueberry's are number-number, 1-4 and 3-2, showing the schools to use a different organizing system. Uva/Naranja's homerooms are also explictly organized by each student's track, hence why Nemona is in the same homeroom as Juliana/Florian despite having attended the academy longer.

Because of these facts, I believe it is meant to be implied that Blueberry Academy's students are traditionally grouped by school year the way most Japanese schools are (while Unova is based on the United States of America, Game Freak is, of course, a Japanese company, so I don't think it's too much of a leap to suggest that they're following a system that would be most familiar to their writers and main audience, especially considering Blueberry's uniforms seem to be based on Japanese high school uniforms). The year of each class is signified by the first number in their designation: 1-4 would presumably be a first year class, 3-2 would presumably be a third year class.

In Carmine and Crispin's League Club Room conversation, it's revealed that Crispin and Kieran are in the same class. Kieran's classroom is, sure enough, 1-4- therefore, I believe he is meant to be a first-year student.

Likewise, NPC dialogue in Class 3-2 reveals Carmine and Amarys are both in that class- therefore, I believe the two of them are meant to be third-year students.

MY PROPOSAL

First Years: Crispin (confirmed) and Kieran (presumed)

Second Years: Lacey (confirmed)

Third Years: Carmine and Amarys (both presumed)

I literally am not sure because the information is spread between NPC dialogue that uses confusing wording (ThAnKs Game Freak) and a League Club Room conversation and I already spent way too much time trying to figure out where the hell it was confirmed that Crispin was a first-year and if I'm being honest I kind of don't care enough about him to confirm this (which is not to speak to his writing or character! Really! I just am focused more on other characters) so I'm just going to say "on his third attempt at Second-Year": Drayton (lol)

Choose a favorite character whose name starts with "V"!

(Or a character you just want to see me write for 😁)

If you have any questions on these characters, please feel free to ask!

And if you think of someone who's not listed here that you would like to see, feel free to add a name to the comments/reblogs!

I do not care about anything in the new Pokemon DLC other than that one mode that lets you run around as your pokemon.

I don't care about the legendaries, I don't care about this "new elite four," I REALLY don't care about all the Unova references, I just want to fly around as my croissant dragon dammit!

Is it just me or—does Aliquis’ brother look like he’s from Blueberry Academy? 👀✨✨✨

Here is the not-so extensive relationship chart for my HL AU: A THREAD

Do note these are all my headcanons FOR MY OWN AU!!! which has nothing to do with the game's story.

Seperated the categories to make it easier to read:

1. FRIENDS

2.CRUSH

3. BEST FRIENDS

4. RELATED

5. CHILDHOOD FRIENDS

6. IN LOVE

7. DATING

8. DISLIKE / LOVE-HATE

Closest friends from each houses for each of my OCs

This is a chart for the beginning of my story where Oliver and Manon just got transferred for their 5th year. Some relations will change as the story evolve. I don't think I'll ever develop anything other than my ship in detail though, so don't expect any more from me LMAO

Which is why i didn't add Leander to Oliver's closest gryffindors friends. They're both very shy around each other at the very beginning. It took a while for them to warm up to each other, mostly because Oliver had no problem kissing his friends good morning but could never do the same with Leander, which lead to a lilttle misunderstanding where Leander thought Oliver simply did not like him... Imelda resolved that misunderstanding REAL QUICK.

Also, my sebinis comic also takes place in that same AU. just so you know

If you have any questions, feel free to ask! I may not have all the answers though, as i may have pulled some stuff out of my ass last minute

UPDATING because i messed up mary's closest friends, i forgot crick :^( also here's a much more accurate friends chart for mary because... everyone's friends with mary. mary's everyone's friend

Ok but imagine being an NPC in pokemon Scarlet or Violet, you hear that there is a new transfer student arriving.

Then you hear that they are neighbors with the battle crazy bitch that's a champion and often thought of as the strongest trainer, and they've already become friends.

And then you find out the new student barely made it past there house before falling off a fucking cliff.

Like how does that just happen to anyone.

it's nice that we're getting anything i guess, but, i'm gonna be what may come off as a little petty and whiny here; it'd be cool if either iteration of the gen 9 anime so far was actually about gen 9's characters instead of using them as cameos to promote original stories we have no investment in yet

it's like, i dunno, like the bait and switch with sonic appearing in wreck it ralph ads, except if wreck it ralph existing meant there would never be a sonic movie, and if you were invested in those characters and recognized they weren't generic platformer mascots, sucks for you, nobody cares

maybe they're just giving the DLC space to do its thing with them first (if they do anything at all...) but idk, i was cautiously optimistic about nemona in horizons, only for her to be a character of the day that the episode wasn't about, and pretty excited by "gen 9 prequel anime" only to find out it's going to be like, four short stories about OCs who have quick brushes with them. these are like the lacroix hint of what an anime about the game could've been like and you're left to imagine the rest yourself

i shouldn't be that surprised if the gen 8 anime reduced hero of galar hop to a character of the day with a level 5 wooloo in order to let the galaxy revolve around ash battling his brother because epic charizards, but man. what if it wasn't like that that now that ash is gone.

we haven't seen penny and team star at all because they're the hardest to talk about without bringing up the trauma of school bullying and the fear of being yourself at school when you're way too young to be dealing with all that drama responsibly. she's still learning to love and forgive herself and feel wanted.

arven's story is about, like, being a latchkey kid to a self-absorbed parent, being unsure how to feel about repairing the relationship or how seriously to take them saying they love him, and struggling to make friends due to misdirected resentment toward people he's jealous of for having apparently normal families and the stubborn self-reliance he was forced into. he's still trying to process things, find himself, and let people in.

nemona is supposed to have been a directionless lonely and depressed kid who hated being called gifted when everything was hard for her, until she met the player character and gained a peer who understood and appreciated she was a little different and she didn't have to mask her true self to have friends anymore. she's happy for now, but may still be under a little too much pressure to be perfect at the expense of her own personality, and probably won't deal well with being abandoned.

as much as they resonate with adults and are a little darker than usual pokemon fare, they're also smaller scale and realer. they are all stories that are explicitly about and meant to be relatable to kids going to school! y'know, your audience! you don't need to paint over them with 3-4 new characters and new stories every time like there was nothing there, or something shameful you need to sanitize and cover up! you can just use the game the way it is!

this got a little more heated than i intended, i just feel a little ridiculous waiting anxiously for loose scraps of a sign that this story isn't over and in the trash already and nemona's life-changing attachment to the player character isn't going to go totally ignored, as we are bombarded with what is supposed to be followup material that almost all seems eager to talk about literally anything else like they think the main story was a mistake they need to run away from

now, i'm not one to complain about original stories being told, but this was already a story that had room to grow. imagine a world where the gen 9 anime was actually about nemona, arven, penny, and the friend who brought them together. or what their lives were like before that friend came along. every episode. that would get me to watch the anime again and whatever movie came out for it. ask yourself why we don't have that, or even the traditional, like, 1-2 characters tagging along with the MCs per region thing that would leave us knowing them better than we know some irl friends

how was starting over with 100% original characters and new lore that might conflict hard with the upcoming DLC the safer bet? why is a 44 minute miniseries specifically for fans of the game making up OCs for them to get invested in and scrambling to tell their stories as quickly as possible before throwing them in the trash instead of being about the damn game?

sigh. i shouldn't get invested in a series that's about selling monster plushies just because it had one story that stuck with me

[divergent-paths]

Got a couple of posts in colour for the story coming up, and they're taking a while to get through (this is probably gonna' be the norm with full colour work, sorry all) so here's another filler post while you wait. And in both flavours, even! although lbr, uva is clearly the superior school here, the purple uniform doesn't make my eyes bleed lmao

If you recognise these guys, great! If you know their type specialties, very cool! If you know their names, then you can hang with me. :D For those that don't know them, they're the NPC Team that joins you when you take on Tera Raids with less than a full party of players. I've grown to like them a lot once I noticed that the NPCs that join you weren't randomly generated, and are instead consistent recurring characters. I've also already started to come up with headcanons and personality quirks, and judging by the uh, ...commentary, I've seen around online, I feel like I may be the team's first and only fan :'D They're defo' gonna' be showing up a bunch in the Alex/Violet story side regardless though, because I think they're a lot of fun.

As for why I even have them drawn out in a big line up though, a big thing for me personally while drawing is that I have an almost incessant need to be consistent, which demands accuracy, which means I need ref, looooots of ref. And when I can't get clear key art, model pics, swatches, etc, I make my own ref. Oftentimes, I'll make my own refs anyway just so that I have an easy and consistent swatch base to pick from. These guys fall under that need for ref, because obviously they don't have key art, and they don't wander around town either, but they're unique enough in my book to warrant drawing. :3
