attempts at consideration (misunderstood) (ingo would battle all day if he could) (don’t you wish you could hang out with characters without having to beat stuff up)

ID under cut

4-panel comic titled “do you have games on your phone”.

PANEL 1: Ingo recalls his Pokemon. He thinks: She’s been looking worn out. Ingo says: We don’t have to battle every time.

 PANEL 2: Akari droops. It’s her 32nd attempt at the eevee path of solitude. She thinks: He’s tired of this, huh... Akari says: Oh, uh, then...

PANEL 3: Text pointing to Akari says: doesn’t know what “normal” friends do. Akari says: ...Do you wanna play games on my phone? PANEL 4: They have their backs turned, looking at Akari’s phone. Ingo looks very distressed, with his hands on his head. He yells: AKARI YOU MUST CEASE “SURFING” ON THIS SUBWAY!! IT IS VERRRY UNSAFE!! Akari replies: lol don’t worry it’s a magic skateboard. It’s implied they’re playing subway surfers. Out of frame, Kamado comments: What are those two doing...

As someone who reads a lot of Pokemon fic, especially gameverse, I often find myself in the mood to read a certain character as the "protag", since we have cases where some characters are either the rival or the protagonist. And I'd love to be able to filter by that!

So I propose making a common tag convention on Ao3 that we could follow when writing and tagging fic. My ideas were something like "Protag Teru | Rei" or "Teru | Rei is the Protagonist". We could also have tags like "Rival Haruka | May" or "Haruka | May is the Rival".

Of course, there's no obligation to do so, but I think it would be a useful tag, especially for less common choices of protag/rival assignment. (And things like the secret third option of both characters being protags can be conveyed by tagging both!)

theamandafiles voice: he method acted an entire love story between us. yeah, he is that crazy. are you sure, volo? because if i may be so bold, it’s actually not even fucking possible for someone to spend as much time with me as you have, and not fall in love with me.

[hoofpeet]

Question bc i have brainrot. Instead of ingo dying and being zoroark’d. How would him and spice react if it happened to akari all of a sudden? If shes brought back to unova with the boys, then how would emmet and sugar react?

OGH FUCK ...Spice trying to save Ingo from losing another family member by keeping Akari's death & subsequent zorua transformation a secret after growing up residually affected by generational zoroark trauma

lady vespiquen and warden akari of the pearl clan, from my gay chicken trainwreck au, more context under the cut (warning: long post). there are two versions here because one is overly denoised and i thought it looked cool.

so, i decided to keep vespiquen as akaris lady in the pearl clan, because a) i think it's really interesting, the implications that akari is a little traveler around all of hisui with her dad ingo at what. age eleven when she meets this little combee.

there are whispers, at first, and the pearl clan is appalled at how the combee takes to her. it's not even a noble yet (when the old lady vespiquen's warden died in a run in with the alpha snorlax, it literally died of grief, leaving this little combee behind.) and it's already making warden like connections? and not only that, but to a girl who literally fell from the sky as a toddler and was found by sheer luck when ingo noticed her in the snow he was trying to clear with Flamethrower (honestly a miracle she didn't die).

and then it got even more controversial when an outsider, volo, came through to help evolve the combee. with *candies*. which akari hadn't known would be a problem, she was just sharing them with combee when it suddenly evolved, but that caused some to doubt that she was really destined to be lady vespiquen's warden?

in addition, this meant the numbers were off, and the pearl clan had one more warden than the diamond clan. this would have been a problem, but...

cue emmet. falls from the sky, discovered when sabi is doing her monthly check in with the shunned noble, zoroark (who ostracized himself when one of the diamond clan turned on him and killed his warden) to make sure their line is doing okay, and she realizes she should do it early. she doesn't know who this man she sees in the vision is but she knows he needs help.

so she does her check in early and lo and behold that's. that's a nearly dead guy isn't it. she asks lord zoroark if she can have braviary take him to the diamond clan for healing. zoroark grants it out of an understanding that they will be the best creatures to help him and he really can't do much.

he then decides to follow emmet to the diamond clans camp. almost gets killed but hey, he's strong and fearful. he can scare any pokemon off easy if he doesn't want to battle. and then he gets there and he sees a lot of himself in emmets lostness, his fear, his grief. he adopts emmet as his warden right then and there and so now emmet is a member of the diamond clan.

and now there are three faller wardens. there's those who take it to be a gift from sinnoh and those who take it as malintent, but no matter what, they're treated *differently*. that is, until the fourth faller arrives, the nobles start going into frenzies, and elesa reminds emmet and ingo of their pasts - and volo tries to ask arceus to reset it all, they fucked up (even though isn't this how it was supposed to go?)

and arceus denies them. once elesa finishes the Pokedex the rest of the fallers will be sent back. but for now, volo and elesa are the only ones who remember where they came from, and volo is the only one who can go back.

Thoughts on Akari's EX outfit? I love the colors!

I like it too!! I don’t love it, but I really appreciate that they went with Hisuian Samurott’s colors!

The only thing holding me back from loving it is probably where they put the darker and lighter colors. I’m a fan of character designs where headwear is generally lighter than the jacket/shirt/pants if there is going to be a contrast. And that might be because I like characters with dominantly dark color palettes, and lighter colors are secondary. And that is because it just personally pops in a more appealing way to me than a primarily light color palette with darker colors as the secondary.

That’s just my personal preference when it comes to character designs though! I would swap a few colors around, but my adjustments would make her EX’s values look very similar to her original. That might be why I still prefer the original though haha, it’s primarily dark.

For what it is though, I really like the EX!! It looks really great, just my personal taste in value dominance prefers the original ^^

its always funny to me when people mention the protagonist of PLA "going home" after their arceus-assigned-duty is complete.

don't you get it?

Jubilife City is your home now.

AoiAoi Fankids

Akoi Aoi (15):

The Aoi family's Youngest and only son

A hopeless romantic like his father, but is more emotional than violent about it

A bit of a masochist (this concerns his sister)

Enjoys helping people and is the class representative of class 1-A

While being somewhat popular due to his helpfulness and kind demeanor, he's actually annoyed that nobody wants to get to know him beyond his preppy high school persona

Hides his short temper, possessiveness and jealousy by occupying himself with work

In his efforts of hiding his negative traits, he comes off as a very helpful, but passive nice boy

His jealousy just causes him to overanalyze everything and pout/cry in silence (Aoi during the confession tree thing with Akane & Lemon)

Is in love with the Minamoto's eldest daughter, Rin

I imagine him to be similar to Shoto Kazehaya from Kimi ni Todoke

Is the current Clock Keeper of the present and enjoys spending time with Kako and Mirai

He tends to stay in the boundary after he's done with his duties to play with Mirai (he likes being big bro) or to happily listen to Kako's stories about his past exploits ( Kako is now the boy's grandpapa and you can't change my mind)

Akari Aoi (16):

Eldest and only daughter of the Aoi family

Inherited Sumire's eyes

Is able to see supernaturals due to her Kanangi status/ the Akane bloodline

Enjoys the art of tea ceremonies and the library

Works as a library aid at school

Is a very quiet, but observant child

Is not interested in pursuing romance, yet she's ironically obsessed with the romance genre: Books, movies, shoujo manga and otome games etc.

Wants to be a mangaka and open a tea shop when she grows up

Is supportive of her brother's romantic pursuit of Rin, but will knock him out with her dad's bat if he gets too weird

Is a friend to the Minamoto family

Is constantly being roped into supernatural misadventures with the Minamoto trio, usually unwilling (but always as bait )

She is collecting favors like Pokemon, almost everyone in school owes her and she waits until the perfect opportunity arrives to cash in one

If provoked, she will gladly and violently beat you down with her bat ( Akane passed down his weapon to his daughter for protection lol)

[sexysilverstrider]

thinking right now and the switch pokemon games really gave me great pokemon ship dynamics

hop/gloria - childhood friends but best friend snatches the other's dreams and bff cant bring to blame her coz hes his bestie and he has his own issues and weakness to blame

bede/gloria - bratty rival gets beaten and has his life hit him in the face by protag is always a win for me

raihan/gloria - ill always love the 'i see you as a lil sister i never had :) *proceeds to accidentally falls for the said rhetorical sister figure* type lol its cute. kousuke toriumis characters are just like that

leon/sonia - childhood friends too!!! but this time theyre the reverse of hpyu

trace/elaine - childhood friends but the less angstier version compared to gurileaf/gurired

arven/juliana - arven being CANONICALLY jealous n clingy at everyone who is close to juliana is just top tier for me. that is a big big puppy dog craving for love and attention

kieran/juliana - i would like to thank pokemon for giving me a whiplash of a character LMAOOOO a rival who becomes bastardized by protags actions??????? kieran heavily implying that he likes juliana too before juliana accidenatlly ruins his life????? oh im EATING

volo/akari - enemies to lovers but this time it breached containment and actually reached fame because the amount of fanarts/fanfics ive seen of this otp is fascinating. in a span of a year pixiv managed to have 100+ arts of them. maybe even more. i mean what do you expect? yandere? angst? drama? pining??? hosoyan and hondo kaede??? in MY pokemon game?

[bytebun]
