#ae remembered shiny leafeon with autumn leaf colors

[thereareeyesinsidethetrees]

pokemon teams for the pines family but there’s no way in hell ae’m remembering all thousand+ pokemon and also ae’m just kinda suggesting stuff that could work not necessarily sticking to a strict only-six rule

ford:

-hisuian zoroark. it is violent and aggressive to almost everything, but is extremely gentle and compassionate to those its close to. this is a really good representation for ford, because of his sense of paranoia and distrust and how deeply he cares for his family (ie. stan, mabel, and dipper)

-an eeveelution is a must with the stans. an espeon or umbreon could be really good picks for him (friendship based, either evolved during his time in gravity falls or during his paranoid or portal era). however, we would like to propose: a shiny eevee (cause. silver streak in hair) that, upon returning home, finally evolves into a leafeon, showing how he comes to see the forest of gravity falls as his true home

-stakataka. a creature from another dimension that shares the portal’s color scheme. plus, it has a mobile structure-like appearance, which can represent ford’s wandering across the multiverse, living in countless other dimensions throughout those thirty years

-for similar reasons, poipole would also be a good one for him. a little wanderer far from home

-corsola/cursola. a pokemon he got from glass shard beach, it was originally a corsola. however, upon exposure to the multiverse, it became a cursola. this pokemon is never used to fight, as he’s far too concerned with not letting its health get any worse. its condition improves a little upon setting sail on the stan o’ war ii

-unown because. yeah

-sigilyph. probably a pokemon he found while looking for anomalies in gravity falls’ forest

-chandelure. a ghostly chandelier that feeds off life energy. his used to feed off him just as much as anything else, but over the years they’ve grown closer and it prefers to dine on other creatures before chomping on him. it’s especially happy during their trip on the stan o’ war ii (it gets rewarded for draining fish of their life! how cool is that?). thinking ford got it during his whole haunted cabin escapade

-ceruledge. each stan got a charcadet from melody and soos as a going away present before they set sail. ford’s evolved into ceruledge!

stan:

-wishiwashi. a pokemon that is the weakest of all pokemon when in solo form, but is one of the strongest when in its school form. ae think this one is a good pick because it’s a good representation of the family man aspect of stan. something interesting about him is that he doesn’t fight back as hard when it’s only him on the line, but when those he cares about are involved he will kill the unkillable to keep them safe

-an eeveelution for each stan is a must. for stan, a usual choice is umbreon, but ae’m going to pick sylveon for this one. it’s a friendship evolution plus it’s a good way to show how, despite having a rough exterior and mask, stan is a lot softer when you really get to know him

-salandit. fiery little lizard with a built in bandanna and sneaky lil face. it likes to sleep under his fez while he gives tours. it also likes to sit on his shoulders when he’s not being mr. mystery

-nickit and theivul. yep

-lorantis. plant pretending to be a bug. this one is a double whammy!! its pretending to be something its not, plus plants are generally seen in a softer more gentle way than bugs, which tend to be seen as scary pests. something typically seen as soft pretending to be something more…scritchy-scratchy sharp and tough?

-krabby. a little crab he first got way back at glass shard beach. don’t ask him why it hasn’t evolved he won’t answer you

-clobbopus. beach boxing >:3

-litwick. he doesn’t know where this one came from. he just woke up one day and it was there. conveniently, he leaves out the part where this was only a few days after weirdmaggedon ended

-armarouge. each stan got a charcadet from melody and soos as a going away present before they set sail. stan’s evolved into armarouge!

mabel:

-zebstrika. an electric zebra that looks adorable, but is said to be aggressive. we picked this one because it shows how mabel has spunk and can be fiery, despite how she looks and acts

-ponyta. the only unicorn she likes, a fiery mane to represent her spunk too. it evolves into rapidash post canon, a representation of her accepting whatever the future may bring

-pumpkaboo. a gift from stan. a reference to the ‘pumpkin’ nickname he uses for her. (and, though he won’t admit, a living little reminder that he loves her and wants to keep her safe)

-shiny lechonk. waddles <3

-rowlet. a leafy little bird with smarts and a knack for long range weapons. a gift from ford before the mystery twins headed home. a reminder that mabel is smart and will always be a delight. and also that she should really hone her skills with weapons so she stops hitting things on accident. a message not to lose that spark

-turtwig. a little turtle that could carry the whole world on its back if only it was big enough. a gift from stan before the mystery twins headed home. a reminder that she is strong, to always weather the storm, and to keep that imagination a-flowing. a message not to lose that spark

dipper:

-pikipek! a little woodpecker-like creature to keep him company as he ventures through the gravity falls forest. its wide blue eyes to represent curiosity and wonder, traits it shares with dipper

-icecue. a gift from wendy after their talk where she explains that they can’t be together. the reasoning behind the pokemon? “stay cool, kid��.

-tyrogue. a gift from stan (thinking about the scene in stan’s dreamscape where he talks about wanting to toughen dipper up so he can fight back)

-sprigatito. a magical little cat. a gift from ford before the mystery twins headed home. a reminder that there will always be magic in the world, whether real or metaphorical. a message not to lose that spark

-cyndaquil. a fiery little critter with much potential. a gift from stan before the mystery twins headed home. a reminder that even in times that he feels weak, dipper is stronger than he knows. a message not to lose that spark

annnd bonus! shermie:

-solrock and lunala. these two are here to represent his lost brothers. solrock for stan and lunala for ford (both are very happy to finally meet the brothers they’re named after)

-glameow. he couldn’t save his brothers from having to live with filbrick, but maybe he could at least rescue their little family cat

-two cherrims, one permanently overcast and the other always sunny. to represent mabel and dipper
