Banette!

Another 4 hour practice! This time, it was to emulate a simple style that still feels engaging and "fun." I wanted to add more detail in the smoke to make it something more than blocks of color, but I refrain because I wanted Banette to be the center focus.

I also noticed there's a color I always land on... send help

How...Safe, is sewing Banette skin? Felt? Not really sure what it is. Recently, a friend of mine has vented to me about how a lot of people (strangers) have commented on how "ugly" their Banette is. They've confided that it does make them self-conscious over their care for it (They're starting out as a coordinator) and asked me (a hobbyist tailor) to see if I could customize Banette. I rejected the offer mainly out of concern for both them and Corduroy (Banette)

you made the right call. banette's skin is full of...well, not nerve endings, but there's a high concentration of ghost type energy in there. that's why it sticks pins into its body as a way of generating the energy it needs to lay powerful curses. trying to sew it up would 1. probably make it angry and 2. endanger you.

i understand where your friend is coming from, and i know it's tough to have people comment negatively on your pokemon. however, that doesn't mean it's ok to risk your pokemon's health and happiness because of comments from strangers who are likely commenting out of a lack of exposure to ghost types. what matters most is that your pokemon is happy and healthy. i'd recommend your friend look into skin conditioners designed for making pokemon's skin and fur look glossy if they want to help their banette look its best, but otherwise they need to make sure that they're always acting in corduroy's best interest and not because they're worried about what other people are saying.

How about Banette?

Man, trust me when I say it pains me to score ghost-types so lowly, seeing as it’s my favorite pokémon type. But alas, a banette, being a being whose sole reason for being alive (undead?) is revenge and torment, specifically of children, and even more specifically a single child.

But before I get into it, banettes are a great size to be a pet. At three and a half feet tall, they’re on the bigger size as far as house pets go but not to a completely unreasonable level. Looking at those stubby legs, we can tell that these pokémon probably don’t spend a lot of time running around or climbing, which makes their space needs pretty straightforward. Wild banettes spend most of their time creeping around in dark alleys and garbage dumps (Emerald, Scarlet), but this seems more out of necessity than choice (there’s nothing tied to their health and darkness, from what I can tell). The issue with banettes come down to their personality, which comes from their curious origins.

Banettes don’t seem to be a traditional biologically-derived species, rather arising from an inorganic source… probably. It’s very confusing. What we do know for sure is that each banette originated as a child’s doll that was cast away and forgotten for one reason or another, which has become a living pokémon. Most pokédex entries report that banettes are brought to live by being possessed by an obscure, cursed energy (Ruby, Sapphire). In these entires, it seems like this spiritual energy is the real creature, with the physical form we see being nothing but a puppeteered shell, since the spirit is released instantly if the banette’s mouth is ever opened (Sapphire). However, there does seem to be some sort of symbiosis between the is conscious, cursed energy and the inanimate doll itself. It’s confusing, like I said. According to some pokédex entries, “strong feelings of hatred” are what animated the object (FireRed/LeafGreen). My best guess is that the spirit that inhabits the doll is taking part in some sort of role-play, offended on the behalf of the doll for being abandoned. Regardless of the reason for banettes’ resentment, this feeling drives their behavior in a not-so-good way.

Banettes spend most of their time stewing in their feelings of hatred towards the child that lost them as a doll, seeking them relentlessly to get their revenge (Emerald, Diamond/Pearl/Platinum). This isn’t a great starting point for a pet’s behavior. If my pet spent most of its time conspiring how to find a random child I don’t know to do know-knows-what terrible things to them, I would find it… difficult… to say the least. Now, can you soothe a banette’s vengeful feeling? Technically, yes. According to the pokédex, a banette that is cared for and treated well will cease their vengeful mission, which is great, but they also sort of cease being; Once a banette has reached a certain level of peace, they become inanimate once again (Ultra Moon). It doesn’t take a lot to read between the lines: a well cared for banette won’t be a pet for long.

We’re obviously already on shaky ground, and we haven’t even talked about how dangerous banettes are. They can use all the classic potentially-lethal ghost-type moves we know and love, like Curse and Phantom Force. This is no good. If a banette gets mad at you because you, for example, prevent them from hunting down and harming a child, it becomes a pretty serious threat.

Overall, banettes just aren’t a good fit for a house pet for many, many reasons. I would only recommend that someone take a banette into their care if their goal is to soothe it and bring it peace, not as a pet but as a therapy patient. Do not adopt a banette as a pet, please.
