pokestar studios au excerpt

I have nothing to say except for "poor Looker" bcs Blake/Lack-Two is just too harsh and my man fr needs a break...

-

"Ow, ow, ow!" The intruder remarked as Blake had immediately managed to find his hiding place and bend his arms behind his back, "Ow! Okay! I totally get why they got you for that role now! You'd totally be a great police officer!"

Blake frowned, releasing the man, "You know about the role?"

The man turned around, and the actor felt a vague sense of dread since the face looked somewhat familiar.

Oh no, it was Manager Looker. Worse than a stranger.

"I'm begging you!" Looker exclaimed, holding onto his feet before the actor could escape, "I know! I'm just a small manager, but I'm managing this rookie actor! She's a newbie but she's so good! Please! Work with her! Make her your co-star!"

"Let go of me, Looker."

"Please, I'm begging you, help a girl start her dreams! I promise, she doesn't even know I'm doing this! Her name's Whitley!"

"If you don't let go of me, I'm releasing my Genesect on you."

The threat immediately seemed to work on the man as he jumped back like he'd been hit, "What the hell? You still have that monstrous Pokémon?"

It had been a gift from one of his crazed but talented fans. Anyway, it was a gift too good not to keep. Blake folded his arms.

"O-okay I get it! I won't bother you anymore! Just... she's already been asked to a casting for this film, so please, Blake, don't drop the project, okay?"

For the first time an expression of slight surprise crossed his face.

"That Director thinks of hiring a rookie actress to work with me?" Blake questioned, not believing it.

"Please! Don't make them drop her! She needs this!" Looker asked him earnestly.

Blake narrowed his scarlet brown eyes. Of course, in any other situation he'd dismantle Looker immediately, but he couldn't exactly afford him to scream here, letting everyone else onto what he was doing.

"... Fine. But you have to let me go first."

"Okay!" Looker jumped back up, beaming as if he'd done a hard day's job, "Thank you so-"

The man was immediately frozen by an ice beam.

"Good work, Dewott."

The Pokémon nodded and raised his razor shell calmly, having been on the ceiling all this time and dropped just at the moment he had known Looker would have his guard down.

"Alright, now we have to sort this issue out with the Director." Blake remarked, while Dewott nodded solemnly.

ok you want people to talk to you about pokémon right. well you’re in luck bc i wanted to talk to you

first question uuuuuhm. hm. how about you try to sell me on playing black/white. go wild and infodump about that green man etc

THANK YOU

hm. idk how much you know or want to know bc i dont want to end up spoiling the plot of the best piece of media ever created by human hands containing the absolute flawless amazing showstopping pinnacle of storytelling Natural "N" Harmonia Gropius. but also its an 11 year old game and i spoil it constantly anyway so lmao

bw itself in general? imo the Peak of pokemon all bias aside. the animated 2d sprites, the environments (going over the skyarrow bridge for the first time WOOOO), the music, the pokemon designs themselves, it still had mythical pokemon events like Victini's, pokemon musicals, Pokestar Studios in bw2, auugahhhh chewing on bw/bw2 like its a multivitamin gummy

the music is probably one of the best things about it! routes have slight variation depending on the season (bw has seasons btw its very pretty) which is super neat. village bridge is one of my favorite pokemon songs, it'll activate more instruments as you explore the bridge and talk to people with instruments and things. also Driftveil City. just driftveil its iconic

and now here's an entire no holds barred rant on Him

n. where do i start with him. i will be spoiling literally everything about him btw i just love explaining him

abandoned in a forest at like 5ish years old, he learned to talk with pokemon because he lived with them. ghetsis ends up finding him, claims he's his father, and whisks little n away to plasma castle and everything goes speeding downhill on a sled going over ice.

n's naturally Too Nice, so ghetsis is able to convince him that every human is pokemon-abusing scum by only letting n see pokemon that have been mistreated and isolating him from people other than ghetsis himself and n's foster sisters, anthea and concordia. he makes n think only he can change the world by joining with one of the twin dragons, becoming champion to prove his strength to the region, and from there he can force all people to separate from pokemon.

presumably the first time n's been let out of plasma castle is at 20 years old when bw takes place which on its own is just. insanely horrific. he's genuinely surprised that all the people he meets over the course of the game treat their pokemon well and their pokemon love them in return. unfortunately for n he is STUBBORN. up until the bitter end he keeps holding onto the belief that humans and pokemon should be separated despite all the evidence contrary to that because thats all he's known all his life. was he supposed to just throw away all he's been working towards for 15 years? drives me insane how deeply entrenched n was in his mindset that even when he had suspicions, he couldn't let himself waver from the path he chose. he literally runs away and disappears for TWO YEARS after you defeat him because he's so lost.

yknow how kieran tries to be the hero of ogerpon's story and gets furious when sv protag takes that away from him? thats kinda how n is, he thinks he's supposed to be the hero of unova but after clashing with you he realizes he is Not. "Is the world going to choose you, and not me?!" <- line that has driven me nuts for over a decade. n is literally designed like a classic mainline game protag: compatitively simple casual outfit (with the bright green hair to set him apart though), does the gym challenge and becomes champion, catches a box legendary, is fighting against a threat in order to save the region. the only difference being that threat was a lie, n was being used so ghetsis could take over the region.

speaking of ghetsis's atrocities. there's his infamous "freak without a human heart" line. there's the fact his final team is designed to counter and sweep n's final team, either he was planning for n to end up betraying him or just outright disposing of n no matter what he did once he outlived his usefulness. there's the fact he probably didn't even take much care of n and dumped the responsibility on anthea and concordia who probably aren't much older than n. there's the fact that in usum's rainbow rocket storyline, that timeline's ghetsis has one of the twin dragons, which i've seen interpretations of being that he's trapped n and taken the dragon or straight up Killed n because the dragon is supposed to choose its partner. fucked up stuff!

and throughout it all n still has some attachment to ghetsis! "It's hard to call you this, but… Father! Please understand."

ghetsis may have done All That but he's still almost all n had for so many years. n is also again, Too Nice, he still wants to see the best in ghetsis. pokemon masters had a storyline where ghetsis seems to be trying to make up and n makes the choice to trust him. ghetsis betrays them all of course but the fact n still chose to believe in him again is so. augh

enough about The Tragedy of N Harmonia though, he does turn his life around and seems so much happier in bw2. compare his first game encounter theme to his second. the first is creepy, stops jarringly, is literally named Prisoner to a Formula. his second reminds me of carnival music and i love it so so so much. also, i've had weird issues in the past where putting images under a readmore screws up the entire post's formatting and i dont want to retype THIS ENTIRE RANT but. in bw2 his battle sprite has a bigger smile than in bw1. he regained his whimsy :)

misc thing. he canonically talks so fast some people can't understand him. this is reflected in the game by his text printing faster than everyone else's, and if you set your text speed to Fast he talks at a unique EVEN FASTER speed which i think is really funny. they just Really wanted him to talk super fast they even bothered to make him his own text speed

Top five pokemon regions?

5. paldea! might be too early to put this near the middle but lmao idk. my opinion may change and have it put lower bc im just coming off of how much i liked the game, but if we're considering the region design itself it's got issues. i did have a TON of fun with it but tbh it's kinda got that open world problem where there's just a lot of blank stuff, which brings it down for me. plus the pokemon and towns arent my favorite this time around. definitely sorta prefer this one based on the characters and story. but riding around on the legendaries makes it SUPER fun so that sorta makes up for it? idk why everyone insists that's a stupid part of the game, it made the entire thing SO fun for me and it helped get me emotionally invested in the story. it's like an upgraded version of the nebby plot, which i already really loved!

4. johto! the game design behind this one has a lot to be desired imo but the pokemon choices and hgss additions are SO good. i love the pokeathlon and the customizable safari zone! and holy shit this region's pokemon are so good? i know it's easy to riff on gen 1 these days but come ON why do they cut the line there as "the best old pokemon" when gen 2 has so many good pokemon like ampharos, houndoom, quagsire, feraligatr, SCIZOR HERACROSS AND GLIGAR??? COME ON there's literally only a few designs i don't care for, they absolutely stuck the landing on pokemon design with this gen. (and that's not to say gen 1's designs were bad in the slightest, it just suffered from a few issues like sameface and literally making Everything a reptile, which this gen immediately solved lmao)

3. sinnoh! pure nostalgia tbh, there's quite a few issues with the layout in retrospect, but i don't really care tbh. again, it's a region that i always have fun replaying! its got a lot of little things that make it fun to check out, and i remember every single town and what u can do in them, like how you can get this guy beneath veilstone city to build a tunnel to solaceon ruins if you catch all the unown forms. also this one has gliscor. it has gliscor you guys i cant stress that enough.

2. alola! everything about alola is just relaxing. i love the worldbuilding for it, the entire culture with the tapus and the ride pokemon and pokemon in general is just so rich. i love the celestial theming of the legendaries obviously, solgaleo and lunala are my favorite legendary duo :) i love the pokemon and all the activities added in usum like the photos were really fun! the island format was just really cool as well, i love island video games where u get to explore themed islands. it's why i love guardian signs a lot too! just a really rich region that i usually have fun with.

unova!! i just have a ton of nostalgia towards it, and tbh yeah the region's design could be a lot better, but man i just always have a blast revisiting these games. there's so much to do, every single town has something fun to offer like the battle office in castelia, literally everything in nimbasa, pwt in driftveil, the season gimmick is really cute, pokestar studios and the musicals are so much fun and provide something awesome in comparison to the main game, i love a ton of the pokemon, idk man it's just so good. im so glad people are giving it more love these days because the hate it got was VERY undeserved.

[a-tale-of-legends]

Wayne thoughts that I've had for the past few days

I think I'm gonna stick to the idea that he was born and raised by Plasma. Which means he has a loooooooooot of unlearning to do.

Grew up with this aspect of "good' and "bad". He was allowed to ask "good" questions, but not allowed to ask "bad" ones. When he did, he was punished, and was made to feel bad for simply asking. Afterwards, he was told he was forgiven, because they loved him. He forgave them in turn, because they were his family.

Heavily sheltered, but had one thing that connected him to the real world: comic books. They were given to him by an older grunt who was able to go outside of the castle. They were varied in genre ( Wayne's favorites being superhero ones and sci-fi). Wayne had to hide these comics, since they were taboo within Plasma.

Wayne looks up to N a lot. I wouldn't be surprised if he was his gender awakening. Either him or the male heroes in his comics. Or both. Anyway, there was definitely some worshiping going on, but that's probably goes for the majority of plasma.

After the main story of BW, Wayne's life shatters- for good reason. The family he grew up with ended up trying to take over the region with ill intent, the hero he worshipped, N, left without a word, and Team Plasma, his family, was scattered, with the looming truth that they were always the bad guys.

^ Because of his love for comics and the black and white teachings of plasma, Team Plasma being the villains means he was a villain too. And Wayne wanted nothing more than to be the hero. As a result, Wayne ended up diving further into his comics, while pushing away his team plasma roots out of shame and self loathing.

I still need to figure out how he ends up involved with the main plot but I know that bc of his desire to be like the heroes in his comics, he puts on a persona of this person who is all good, just and loud. He allow himself to pretend that he is like the heroes he admire. Does he actually believe that he is? No. He sees himself as a coward and someone who is Bad.

Little did he know that his persona wasn't really a persona. That his heart bleeds easily for those around him. That despite his past he still tries to be brave and help those around him. Little did he know he was a hero, just like he always wanted to be.

I think it should be said that wayne wears his heart on his sleeve. He will cry for others. He will have a burning desire to help those who need it. He is so sincere it's crazy and cruel to how Team Plasma had a hold of him before.

on a more lighter note to end this off: is a big fan of Brycen ( would read the shitty comics that were tie in to his movies) and was soooo nervous when Eva dragged him to pokestars studios and vouched for him to join her in acting. His Hero persona pretty much fell off, he was so nervous lmao ( Brycen was very nice about it. Even giving Wayne his autograph!)

[yusuke-of-valla]

wait. wym people hate pokestar?? it's literally one of the best parts of b2w2???

To be fair it was in the context of someone trying to 100% b2w2 so I can see why that'd be annoying but I was so upset bc I love Pokestar studios

[rotruff]

reasoning under the cut bc it gets pretty long !!

pikachu BUT more specifically cosplay pikachu, website i use to make these doesnt have those forms listed BUT !! know in my heart that's what he has, more specifically one of these two !

the blue dress one is a reference to the blue dress he wears when you first(?) see him, while the other is just a tie to his main color being pink. also !! chose pikachu because the in game idol trainer class is known for having pikachus!

hatterene i admittedly dont have much reasoning for . pink color scheme + they're massive haters wwich loosely could be tied to the cutthroat nature of celebrity / star life. more importantly trans color scheme. you understand.

roserade ties well to the play(? musical?? its been a while.) he throws with the previously mentioned blue dress and just drama / acting in general ! the cape and mask just make me think of mysterious suave characters in plays so i think it works ok. AND if memory serves right there's a trainer class for pokestar studios that has them !!

heliolisk vaguely reminds me of those white canvases / sheets / umbrellas they have during photoshoots because of its frilled neck. also the electric typing works well with the robot thing.

rotom is a very versatile pokemon ! appearing in multiple games as a map / phone / etc. i think this ties with the celebrity life both in the sense of there being so many different jobs / roles on set and there being so many different ways to act and characters to play on stage ! plus the ghost / electric typing works pretty well methinks. also whenever rotom talks to the player they're generally pretty nice which i think could point to amiability / natural charm which lines up with starom and mettaton's character in general

hiiii im bored give me your f/o and i'll assign them a pokemon team

[ any info about them you can provide would be much much much appreciated but isnt required !! pls include their name and source though tyyyy ]

[cantdanceflynn]

YES YES YES CANDACE IS A DS GIRL AND JEREMY IS A WII BOY

ABSOLUTELY I FEEL LIKE IF THERE IS ONE PERSON WHO WOULD EVER GET THE HANG OF THE MOTION CONTROLS IT WOULD BE JEREMY AND ALSO PER YOUR OTHER ASK, GAMEBOY JEREMY ALSO SO TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IVE GOT A POKEMON AU ALREADY BUT LIKE. I THINK THEY PLAY POKEMON TOGETHER

[sufferingmermaidlesbian]

i’m a fucking star why does no one recognize me outside of the pokestar studios? is it the only cinema in all of unova? do they refuse reports on what is happening inside of the studios?  the billboards literally know what i’m doing all the time why not this? are the studios an illusion? are movies just a niche interest like theater is in our world and that’s why no one ever heard about any of the stuff i did?

i need answers pokemon??

[space-prophet]

So glad to see all the Unova love coming from the Submas Brothers getting popular! I just hope eventually I'll get some quality SkylaXElesa content again...sometimes u want tacky lesbians.

the thrilling sequel !

rosa and nate make a bunch of dorky movie references all the time. hugh never understands any of them. hell i dont think cheren would understand most of them...

speaking of hugh hes come to a couple movie nights with rosa and nate but lets just say hes never as into it as those two are lol...

nate and especially rosa were so excited when they turned 13 bc now they can go to pg-13 movies....not that they had never watched any before that but well. yknow.

...now that i think about it i want to say colress/ghetsis/other older people might understand their movie refs lol(bc a bunch of them are to older movies...)

For the most part the staff do not let nate near the costumes at pokestar studios. kid is way too much of a fashion disaster😔

some rosa and nate pokestar studio related hcs???

they both consider themselves little film buffs lol. and they love watching movies together!

rosa named her pokemon after her favorite actors. nate named his after iconic characters

ok so nate is like. a gifted actor. hes amazing at it! a total success story at pokestar studios!......rosa on the other hand.....she kind of didnt enjoy acting there too much...(also shes not that great at it to begin with...)

shes also a huge ham tho. she playfully overacts and loves being melodramatic about everything so???

BUT she likes the off screen? part of the process more? she goes backstage with nate and always ends up thinking of the strange endings that seem to be big hits sooo

back on the rosa naming her pokemon after her favorite actors i like to think she would name one after nate at some point...<:)

also since nates so good at acting i think that could come in handy with more plot relevant stuff too...

[r0-boat]

What canon thing do you/did you like most about Ingo, Adaman, and Volo?

Volo seem really fun to be around. It was really fun reading his lines and always being with him is a real treat. I wish he had more screen time.

Adaman is really reliable and I really appreciate him defending me when Kamado casted me out. He seems like a fellow eevee lover. Adaman seems always serious and responseable, but I sometimes get a glimpse of him being goofy.

Ingo I'm a little biased I admit bc gen 5 was not only my favorite gen but my gate way gen. I loved the side story in gen 5 and my favorite was always the battle subway and pokestar studios. I love ingo and I love Emmet I wish I could Challenge the subway on switch.

[niklenakle]

NO LIKE WHY WASNT HE ,, HE WAS WAY BETTER THAN HUGH (IMO) AND YANCY WAS BASICALLY JUST HIM BUT FOR THE MALE PLAYER , HE LITERALLY WOULD SAY HE WANTS TO TAKE THE PLAYER ON DATES AND AFTER AN AMOUNT OF TIMES MEETING HIM HIS SPRITE WOULD BLUSH IT WAS SO CUTE AND HES A /FUCKING/ IDOL LIKE R U KIDDING ME HES AMAZING AND HUGH COULD NEVVER ALSO IF U DO THE ENTIRETY OF THE POKESTAR STUDIO SIDE QUEST ITS AN EVEN CUTER PAIR NOT THAT A NORMAL PERSON × IDOL ISNT ADORABLE BUT MOVIE STAR × IDOL IS JUST AS CUTE AND I MEAN ALSO THE POKEMON CHAMPION × IDOL WOULD B CUTE TOO AFTER U FINISH THE GAME AND WHAT THE FUCK IS HUGH?
