#almia region

[fiore-region-appreciation]

Its pretty common for rangers partner pokemon to become popular favorite pokemon and even unofficial mascots in their respective towns or regions, especially after a bigger mission.

For example, plusle and minun can be seen just about anywhere in fiore, despite only having those two in the entire region, from sewing patterns to art, or fiore region posters.

Or ukulele pichu was already an unofficial mascot before everyone saw him riding on the back of legendary pokemon on a daily basis, and fighting gods.

The exception is kellyn and kates pokemon because no one can agree on which is their partner.

I'm sorry I'm just reminded of this meme I posted on my shitpost blog

[heartkeys]

wow i cant believe they put antivaxxers in pokemon ranger shadows of almia

[aotoreiki]

(not-)daily reminder that the pokemon ranger spinoff series consisting of 3 games with their own regions and evil teams and lore and stuff exists

MAKES ME ALUGH HEHEHEEH

and their goal is bascially to steal and capture as many pokemon as they can because they are convinced that if you surround urself with enough pokemon and imbue urself with enough power and energy from pokemon then you will turn into a pokemon yourself. and they want to become pokemon.

originally my idea was that they wanted a bunch of pokemon to kill them and steal their energy and power to then have those powers to dominate the world.. but I think becoming pokemon is funnier.. but damn now that I'm articulating this better... i think that this idea is also rlly strong..

A week has passed for everyone, and all were able to recover from their wounds…unfortunately, not emotionally and mentally. Even Aries herself including Lamont were still distraught upon learning what Veda has done to the both of them…. Oddly, peace was with the two. Lamont stopped having nightmares of that day and was able to sleep normally, and Aries felt closure in learning Cornelius is proud of her as well. It felt nice…. However, Cipher lived on with new leaders and three new Commanders. As well hearing rumors of some of the local Pokémon began to act strange while they began to attack people for no reason. Something has rose with Cipher, and like them, they to want revenge.

Aries meanwhile couldn’t do much thanks to her now scarred leg. Luckily it was healing quickly than normal which gives her the chance to try exercising her upper body and a bit on her legs to slowly recover through training exercise. Lamont remained in the Frigate to not only remain safe but to help whatever is happening to the outside, until hearing news that the Top Pokémon Rangers have arrived from Fiore, Almia, and Oblivia to investigate what has been going on.. he is relieved they are here, but he’s also concern for them all… especially his family back home, elbows on the deck and hands on his head as he began to worry for them… ‘Did Cipher got them before Aries’s family?…’ He thought. Feeling very anxious about it all, even trying to work up the courage to contact them was nerve wrecking for the poor man… having doubts and fears of them won’t forgive the actions he was forced to do…

But up in the skies of the Unova Region, sores a silver glider in a search for something while using the clouds as their shield to not be seen… not yet. Not until they find the Frigate… Flying through the cities and taking in the beautiful view of the Unova Region, it felt so peaceful to fly once again after so long… “Now where is that damn Ship though?”

Reverse AU

Ais Intro

Both the canon top rangers, Ranger Sven and Wendy has a different style of outfit. I would like to keep true to that. However, I can’t just erase Ice, Lavana, and Heath color code of blue, pink, yellow haha.. So yes! Their uniform is slightly different in color as Reverse.

Ais outfit is based on the traditional outfit of Hokkaido, which is the inspiration for Almia region (according to Wiki). When I saw this outfit I knew I had to give Ais something like this. This is because the silhouette (Longer inner than outer) is very much opposing Ice canon design (Longer outer than inner)

Ice design is very princely, seems modern. To oppose that, I gave Ais a traditional outfit. The pattern remains around the arm and torso, however it stays inwards at the torso to oppose the original. He will stay using the sword-like styler for the vibe alone. I also hinted that Ais prefer to go full action rather than passive. I also wanted to show differences between Ice and Ais from how other character views him: Isa dislikes and is always skeptical towards him.

[rotomblr-polls]

Hey.

I've got an absolute horrible idea. You should do it.

Worst Region.

Options would be: Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Alola, Galar, and Paldea. Maybe an "other" choice too, but personally I don't think people are gonna hate on places like Almia or Ferrum unless they live there in misery. And surely nobody could hate Orre.

Pokeballs vs. Capture Stylers

As a ranger, it is my deeply held belief, based on observation and experience, that Pokeballs are an under-estimated danger to pokemon and the environment. They can cause harm even when used properly and with good intentions. When used by someone with criminal or otherwise nefarious intent, they make causing harm ludicrously easy. Let's do a little comparison, shall we?

How do you get it? Pokeballs can be bought for money in Pokemarts, and are often handed out for free at promotional events. Capture stylers are given only to certified rangers.

What about more advanced versions? Some types of Pokeball require a certain number of League badges to purchase. Others are gated only by cost alone. Capture stylers have built-in limits that can be gradually removed by senior rangers once a ranger has proven experience and risen in rank.

Who regulates it? Pokeballs are produced by the Silph and Devon corporations. While they have some cooperation with the Pokemon League, and are regulated by government, their fundamental motivation is profit. Capture Stylers are regulared by the Ranger Union. Even if one could mass-capture using a styler, it would not benefit the Union to do so.

How many pokemon can you catch? While league battles allow only a fighting team of six, a person can buy and own as many pokeballs as they can carry. Even for the highest-ranked rangers, the maximum number of friend Pokemon is 7.

Can you take pokemon somewhere unsafe for them/the environment? Capture stylers prevent taking a pokemon out of it's native habitat, a limitation removed only for Top Rangers. A brand-new trainer could catch a magikarp and then immediately release it into the desert if they wanted.

What happens if you capture a wild pokemon? With a pokeball, the pokemon is now permanently registered as captured by the trainer. It can be released. Depending on the training experience, it may or may not be safe/appropriate to release back into the wild, even in its native habitat. With a capture styler, the pokemon remains wild. It can temporarily assist a ranger, and then return immediately to its natural environment and behaviors.

What if you try to catch someone else's pokemon? A pokeball prevents re-capture of an already registered pokemon. A capture styler can be used to capture an owned pokemon (this is often done to return lost pokemon, or soothe agitated or injured ones) but it does not change the ownership of the Pokemon.

Is there skill involved? There is strategy in Pokeball capturing, especially via battle. But theoretically, one could still bombard even a legendary pokemon with enough pokeballs and capture it by sheer statistical chance. Proper use of a capture styler requires education and training. Even if someone stole a capture styler, they would not automatically be able to use it.

What if someone "bad" tries to catch a pokemon? Anyone can buy and use a pokeball regardless of intentions. A capture styler conveys the intentions of the ranger. No matter how skilled/experienced, a person could not capture a pokemon they wished to harm in an unmodified/unhacked styler.

What about evil teams? Criminal organizations where pokeballs are readily available (Johto, Kanto, Hoenn, etc.) have simply used regular pokeballs for purposes of robbery, poaching, etc. Evil teams in regions where capture stylers are popular (Fiore, Almia, and Oblivia) have either heavily modified an experimental styler (Super Stylers) or needed to invent and produce an entirely new capture system (Gigaremo, Capture Gauntlet). This vastly limited available supply to team members, and speed of plans. I'm going to repeat that bit. Without access to pokeballs, evil teams found it easier to make, manufacture and distribute their own inventions than to use capture stylers for crime.

What happens if you defeat a criminal using a pokemon? Defeating a criminal (such as an evil team member) in a trainer battle may lead to an arrest, but they may also run away and keep the pokemon they own. When using a styler to capture pokemon controlled by other means (e.g. gigaremo units) the pokemon return to the wild.

You see why I think it's insane that of these two methods, one is meticulously regulated, and the other can be bought for pocket change at a corner store? In case anyone lacks reading comprehension, I'm not saying pokeballs make people evil. But it is a hell of a lot easier to commit crimes like mass trafficking with pokeballs than with stylers. And even well meaning, perfectly nice people can do things like drastically alter local pokemon populations by catching many in a short time span, or releasing them inappropriately. Pokeballs are insane and I'm so tired of people thinking I'm the weird one for saying so.

First Post

Hello, my name is Jón Sveppir, you can call me Ranger Sveppir. I am a retired Ranger who now works at Skjøldur Labs in the Ohrken Region, and I am making this blog to share stuff about my work and show the great work the scientists are doing here.

So some important things out of the way:

I was born in Sinnoh

I joined the Sinnoh Rangers at 20, and served with them for for 14 years before being transferred to the Almia HQ. I have served in most regions at some point or another excluding Paldea and a few other.

Yes this does mean I have worked in Orre, yes It was not a fun experience.

I served with the Rangers until the age of 65 when I was forced to retire, though at that point I was no longer doing field-work. I was then approached by Skjøldur Labs who I had aided in the past while with the rangers and they offered to hire me, so here I am.

These days I mostly do paperwork and act as a interlocutor between the Rangers and Skjøldur.

Speaking of I should cover Skjøldur.

The lab here help with more bizarre or extreme cases that most other labs or centers cannot handle or lack the resources to do so. We also work on ways to allow Pokemon with these severe conditions to live longer happier lives.

For example, you may have seen quadrupedal pokemon with with wheelchairs before, the original design for which was created by the Skjøldur Labs founder.

Sorry for all the rambling I have never been one to be short-spoken. But yeah this blog is to share some of our work and to just share some of my day to day things. Feel free to ask any question you like, and I will do my best to answer. However, in cases of pokemon health and/or care, don't treat my words as gospel, take your pokemon to a center or somewhere else please. But yeah, feel free to ask whatever you like.

Gonna add my pokemon here as well for those interested.

Woops: (M) My starter and old af quagsire. Caught him in sinnoh as a wooper when I thought I was gonna be a trainer and he became my partner when I became a ranger. I have like 40-somethijg nicknames for this guy so if I say something like woops'alot or Woopsifur or Sire I'm talking about him.

Sol: My Valcorona, had a Larvesta egg dumped on me while I was in Unova, a real sweetheart, also has a sweet tooth, don't leave your snacks unguarded.

Sandy: (F) My castform, got her a while back when I was still an active ranger, she's a rescue from a raid done on an illegal breeding operation. Dr.Amilee discovered she likes wearing clothes so if you see a castform in a silly hat in one of my photos that'd be her.

Some other things

* Asks are open, feel free to ask anything, there are no stupid questions.

* Pelliper Mail is open.

Most of the people ranger union staff actually do have a capture styler kept on them for emergencies, demonstrations, and research.

Linda is no longer allowed to because she found a way to use the capture disc to get food out of a vending machine from her desk

A technique she no doubt learnt from Kate

[swagtastic-bougie-pompadour]

Hello, hello! Lots of good stuff to post about as we begin our winter studies, so let's get to it in a nice and sunny...

🌴Clive Update!🌴

Now, I know what you're probably thinking. I'm a bit Psychic-type like that. "Clive, palm trees are so two seasons ago (or two seasons from now)!"

But what if I told you...

You could travel somewhere with living palm trees?!

I know. Mind = Blown. Today, I'm talking a bit about our school's exchange opportunities! Some of you might have already experienced them, but never too late to give a shout-out!

First up:

👹Kitakami!👹

This program is our school's very own, experiential learning-based, culture exchange program with the Land of Kitakami! Nestled roughly between the more well-known regions of Kanto to the south and Almia/Sinnoh to the north, Kitakami is a quiet place with an incredibly rich history--and according to the souvenirs students have sent back, incredibly delish sweets!

Stay with the locals as you explore regional great sights, make new Poképals (now approved to stay over in Paldea, after some very long negotiations), and maybe even enjoy some seasonal festivities and learn about Kitakami religion and culture in the process! If you're interested, send an "app" to the Study Abroad Office. (Your scholarships carry over, yo!)

Next, an exchange I'm quite excited to announce:

🫐Blueberry Academy!🫐

Travel all the way to offshore Unova (I've "forgor" where exactly off the coast) to experience battling like you'll never believe it! While we here at Naranja-Uva encourage a balance of classroom and experiential learning, Blueberry Academy's "DIY" approach is perfect for those looking for classes all about catching, training, and battling with the "perf" partners! (Don't worry, there's other classes, so you'll still get your credits--they're just extra hands-on too!)

Other bonuses if you're still feeling a bit "blue" about leaving us behind for a semester: Blueberry Academy has quite the "kickass" lineup of clubs, complete with its own league, the most widely varied biomes you could imagine within an undersea dome, and really good pizza. If you can finish the servings over there, anyways! Again, come talk to the Study Abroad Office if you've got a craving... for adventure!

[skygodtraumabond]

Yeah, a few years back. Got a rock thrown at my head, had some pinap coladas, fought a Crabrawler with my bare hands, it was a good time.

List of things Alolans are unusually hostile over:

Mega evolution

Island trial dropouts

Software piracy I guess

[vespers-pkmn-rescue]

Hello hello!

My name is Vesper, and I’m a former Pokémon Ranger, but more importantly, I’m the founder of the Unova Pokémon Rescue! My pronouns are She/They, and I’m originally from Orre, though I’ve also lived in Almia (where I was a Ranger) and Unova, and I spend plenty of time traveling to other regions! 

I’m currently in the process of creating an online guide to Pokémon care, and I’ve raised and cared for tons of Pokémon over the years. If you have any questions about Pokémon care, feel free to ask!

What’s the Unova Pokémon Rescue?

It’s an organization I founded years back. After a pretty nasty injury during my Ranger days, I retired from my job as a Ranger and founded the Pokémon Rescue shortly after moving to Unova! I came across a Deino that had been neglected and abandoned, who I helped raise into a happy and healthy Hydreigon. Inspired by that little guy, I opened the rescue to help rehabilitate abandoned, abused, or neglected Pokémon in need of help. I work with tons of organizations across the globe, and we help Pokémon either recover enough to return to the wild, or, for Pokémon unfit for the wild, help them find loving Trainers! 

Vesper's Online Guide to Pokemon Care - Where I post about different Pokémon and how to properly care for their biological needs!

My Team:

Nibbles: Hydreigon, male. The little guy that started it all, this is the Deino I rescued who inspired me to open the Rescue! Destroyer of many a chew toy, but an absolute sweetheart. Still bites me (affectionately). Second biggest troublemaker of my Pokémon, mainly because he’s spoiled rotten.

Dust Devil (Dusty): Garchomp, male. My first Pokémon, I’ve had this guy since he was a Gible! He was my partner Pokémon during my Ranger days, and now that I’ve retired, he’s my partner around the rescue! He has a nasty scar on his leg from the same incident that made me have to retire, but is still as lively as ever. He’s very protective. 

Zipzap (Zippy): Galvantula, male. Formerly a Pokémon I was looking after as a foster when we rescued him. We found him as a Joltik in the Driftveil Cold Storage, with no clue how he ended up there. Deemed unfit to survive in the wild due to poor immune system and frequent illness, so I ended up keeping him! Climbs on everything in my apartment. Biggest troublemaker of the bunch.

Duchess Wisteria Stringbean (Duchess/Stringbean): Serperior, female. Rescued from an illegal breeding operation in Sinnoh. Sassy, stubborn, and full of herself– but a genuine sweetie if you give her attention. Very helpful with the younger Pokémon at the rescue.

Marshmallow: Tyranitar, female. Does lots of the heavy lifting around the rescue. I rescued her after she was abandoned by a Trainer who very clearly wasn’t prepared for how difficult Tyranitars are to care for once they evolve. Likes to act tough but is actually a big softie. 

Lysander (Sometimes called “Beeps”): Decidueye, male. A rescue Pokémon that we took in from a sister organization in Alola. Was horribly mistreated by his previous Trainer, and as such is rather jumpy and wary of strangers. Also easily startled by basically any loud noises. Likes to stare at me from across the Rescue and watch me work. Makes “beep” noises sometimes to get my attention.

Also be sure to check out one of our volunteers: @dustytodusty-pkmn !

OOC//

Hi! I’m Ceja, aka @visceralVoid, and this is a little pokemon irl side blog of mine! Vesper’s guide to Pokémon care is planned to be a small YouTube series one day, but until then, I’ve decided to just do a tumblr blog for now! Info stuff:

Based on the game canon, little to no regard for the anime.

Predominantly an askblog.

Expect occasional headcanon!

Sapient Pokémon and other similar stuff aren’t really a thing in Vesper’s world, but I’m generally willing to interact with that stuff for the most part. There may be times where I disregard it if it clashes too much with Vesper's canon.

Pelipper mail is ON but will be accepted at my discretion. No Musharna mail, though.

I’m an adult, and so is Vesper. Keep that in mind. There won’t be any NSFW here, though.
