Hehehehehe OF COURSE I WILL- (also tagging @joyfulness03 because they asked to hear more as well)

In pieces lol. I have a lot of thoughts- So first of all, these are the main Pokémon I thought of for Phoenix. His first Pokémon having been a Shinx, which is now a Luxray! Mostly my ideas for him were what Pokémon are blue (or vaguely blue) and have spikes?

I gave him the Shinx/Luxray because if I remember correctly they have a whole thing about being able to detect stuff through walls or some shit and that they are very loyal and I thought that fit Phoenix really well. I gave him a Lucario because it’s the whole aura thing and I thought that tired well into Phoenix using the Magatama. The Beldum/Eventual Metagross kinda also a play on the Magtama since y’know… Psychic rock? (Please ignore the fact Beldum is a Steel type not a Rock Type I know this shhhh). I gave him Latios to mirror Edgdeworth who (spoiler) has a Latias. It both plays into their mirroring of one another and Latios also acts like a big brother sort of figure to Latias and I like how that mirrors his relationship with Maya and Pearls as their sort of older brother. The Alolan Sandshew was because I wanted to give him a Sandslash because of the spikes and then I had the big brain moment where I remembered there’s a blue one. (Also tell me Phoenix doesn’t deserve a Sandshrew - you can’t. I love Sandshrew). And then I gave him a shiny Electivire. Hear me out- Electivire has like comfy dad vibes… okay? Like it gives the sesame vibes as Beanix does and I just think I deserve to give one of my favorite characters one of my favorite Pokémon (and shiny because blue accents lol)

Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk (please if you want to hear my thoughts on someone else’ team let me know 👀 I don’t have every single aa character obviously and I made these before gen9 so I might rework some that I think would have Pokémon that work better but yeah! Send me more asks!)
