#fennekin thoughts

[fennekinmon]

I was going to draw what i think dev's mom looks at least my interpetation of her and i was speaking out loud and i accidentally said dale' mom instead of dev's mom.

And it struck me with wait we don't know shit about dale's mom too like, where the fuck was she in like dale's life like, your child was missing for seven years and like he returned. And the fact dale only wanted to see doug when he got out of lemon dungeon and he didn't say "i wish i could to see my parents",he said "i wish i could see my dad" so, like was she even there at all for dale at all in his little years of dale's remaining childhood. Like my brain now that thinking about her is only bring up more questions about dale and doug and how it effects dev. Like all the dimmadomes are in some way still in a we don't know fully about them even though we do have some information about them enough we can make guesses about them.

Like seriously, i realized where in the absolute fuck where and who is dale's mom since like she has to exist, and like did dale ever to try to find his mom after he got of the lemon dungeon, like, who and where is she?? Like she has to exist somewhere like dev's mom. We just don't know about the dimmadome ladies in the family.

a redraw of this post from [checks date] 7 YEARS AGO? WOW the time has flown. you can really see that 7 year improvement

original post had hero + partner teams, except the gti and psmd team was pokemon i planned to play as, since at that point in time i played neither gti nor psmd

this redraw has the actual teams from the games i did finish, which unfortunately does not include gti. i do have a gti save (with a snivy hero & oshawott partner), but its been kind of just gathering dust. i think the farthest i got was completing gurdurr's story, so im Very early in it. might restart it for a different team tbh

from left to right, their team names are: Team Bright Sky, Team Serenity (actual in-game name was Darkness bc of eod. yes i was still playing on eos and not eod or eot), Team Hyacinth

Bought super mystery dungeon n it’ll be the first time in a rly long while that I’ve gotten to play one of the newer pmd games, other than gti

alright so unrelated pokemon thoughts (watching a pokemon youtube video right now lol) i just adore chespin so much as a gen 6 starter, regardless of how good or competitively viable it is. i remember i initially had my heart set on fennekin but i ended up being so put off by delphox that i went for froakie and chespin instead. froakie's definitely amazing but major soft spot for chespin too! feels like nobody talks about it among the starters.

"You got the software I sent you?" Snow asked Nova, to which she simply nodded. Snow decided to head outside, Nova in tow, curling up on the grass. Nova snuggled against her sister, though Snow was about to object but a wave of calm washed over her, she usually didn't like being touched, but she felt... comforted with Nova... Both of them began drifting off to her first sleep, the stars twinkling above them. They were used to the outdoors, being in them almost every day, sleeping indoors just didn't feel right to the duo... But out here? It's perfect.

Somehow it's always the ranboo pfp that have the worst takes.

It's not surprising when the cc has a has a spine of a jellyfish

It feels like i wasted my time watching fop:new wish now with dev fucking forgeting everything magical and fairy related and did the series fucking forget the og message of found family and like bonds that what makes a fairy godparent a fairy godparent its not the FUCKING WISHES. THE WISHES DO NOT MATTTER ONLY THE BOND A GODPARENT HAVE WITH THEIR GODCHILD. And i feel like new wish fucking forgot timmy multiples times messed up fairy world accidentally and never took wanda and cosmo away from him because he had a shitty home life and dev still shitty homelife, he is still miserable but now he has no godparent who cares about him after they fucking bonded and then dev forgot about him.

i feel as if im going mad so im going to just put this out here. real quick. movieunleashers starters ramble.

i cant stop thinking about how mudkip broke down in that one scene in "Typomaniac," when Chespin called him mean. for a second he lets his mask slip a little bit and to me he just... acts his age. he starts crying and calls chespin mean back. maybe im just hyperfocusing on this one detail but mudkip is about 12 years old.

and that just makes me wonder what happened in this guys life that brought him to where he is now. and it makes it all the more tragic how his whole world revolves around chespin, but he is the one bringing him the most pain. and how young he was when he died.

there is a large theme of growing up in "Rare Candy." the characters ages are emphasized in that particular episode, and one of the main conflicts is fennekin wanting to evolve faster.

the thing about characters in these stories is that they're not allowed to just be kids, to have a childhood. so many bad things happen to them. like. mudkips whole, Everything. fennekin when she was famous in typomaniac, or dealing with her own insecurities/pressure from society about her relationship w chespin. and chespin always having to shoulder his friends problems & always somehow managing to stay positive despite everything.

why cant they just. play video games. eat ice cream or something. go to the movies

at the end of the day, i think both mudkip and fennekin are characters who grew up too fast. by distancing himself from them, chespin refused to follow in their footsteps and just wanted to stay a kid.

good for him.

marcille's pokemon team! i imagine she's acquired a variety of mons over the years but some of them have been with her longer than others, like the dragonite she raised from dratini. azumarill is from before going to magic school. she got braixen as a fennekin for research purposes, and evolved it during the school period. cherrim is the newest of this bunch, caught and evolved during magic school.

(if you’re curious about why i picked certain pokemon for marcille, and names i gave her team members, it’ll be in the readmore!)

BRAIXEN (Ignis): an easy nod to magic school and her wooden staff. i wanted a straight-up fire type since marcille uses a bunch of explosive magic in the dungeon. i went with braixen instead of delphox because it has more of a youthfulness like marcille herself.

CHERRIM (Pom/Pomegranate): i definitely wanted a grass-type to reflect her staff being made of wood (with little green sprout), her green eyes, and her love of vegetables. cherrim having a bit of a food (cherry) element is a nice plus, and like braixen, it has a yellow colour like marcille’s blonde hair. i think marcille would also love cherrim’s cuteness, and its red accents match marcille’s own red accessories. it being flowery also matches marcille’s floral-enjoying aesthetic sensibilities. on top of that, i imagine it switching to its overcast form after marcille becomes the lord of the dungeon to reflect her mental state.

AZUMARILL (Tsunami): i wanted a more whimsical-looking pokemon to show off marcille’s cuteness, and a fairy-type adds to the magical feel. but even if azumarill looks silly and marcille can be silly, they really pack a punch. scarvi raiders will appreciate this beautiful round friend with a nod.

DRAGONITE (Stratus): rather than just have marcille’s team reflect her cuter aspects, it was important for me to include a member with competitive viability (which generally means the mon itself has a bunch of strengths). before i considered that aspect, i thought about including dragonair as a reference to marcille’s coatl monster, but i went with dragonite in the end for a cute-looking friend with a lot of strength. marcille has, after all, studied magic for a long time and is really good at it. It’d certainly make sense for her to have an objectively strong mon like dragonite on her team, especially considering the position dragons have in dunmeshi’s world and culture (and they were once at the top of the food chain in pokemon too...).

not pictured:

ALCREMIE (Nectar): a suggestion from my friend i really liked, partly because it’s food. and that’s obviously funny. a sweet-looking pure fairy-type (red accents too!) ties into marcille’s enjoyment of sweets and adds more of that fairy/magic feel. as for which colour variant hers would be, i’ll leave that up to you guys to decide. and a funny little sidenote: marcille wanted a fairy for herself like the canaries, but was daunted and disgusted by the requirements to create one. the homunculus the fairies start out as looks like a little blob of a guy, and alcremie’s pre-evo milcery is... well.

because of the homunculus stuff, i imagine she hatched Nectar from an egg and evolved it before magic school!

GOURGEIST (Ambrosia): while braixen works as a cute magic school reference to magic, gourgeist has more of a witchy, spooky feel. marcille isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, after all. but since this is her team from the start, gourgeist is a nice way to wink at a darker witch aesthetic compared to her other mons without fully giving away marcille’s eventual transformation. it still has a fitting whimsical design, plus its broomstick likeness can be seen as another nod to ambrosia.

Ambrosia would, of course, have been obtained as a pumpkaboo and raised until evolving in line with marcille's staff creation in dunmeshi

honorary mentions: ponyta/rapidash (for her horse love), milotic (for the quetzalcoatl), rotom (suggested by my friend who likes the mental image of her putting senshi in rotom wash), arboliva (italian), liligant (floral + grass-type), foongus (grass-type, reference to walking mushrooms), deerling (grass-type, cute, a deer is vaguely horselike), morpeko (silly/cute, has a “dark” form like cherrim)

dungeon lord: she would have control over all the mons in the dungeon without them being “hers”, so i didn’t plan for her team to change upon her becoming dungeon lord.

OL2 and Pokemon!!! Background is from the game :D

No motion blur:

and a simple bg <3 oh my son he is so darling...

anyway I'm going to talk about all my thoughts on what pokemon the characters would have so it might get wordy:

FIRST UP QIU LIN!!! I gave him a fletchling cuz they're one of the speedier birds and I feel like it just fits him yanno? And mimikyu also suits his personality I think, I can totally see him being super kind and befriending it and UGH. My heart.

I limited myself to two pokemon for this piece but I was also considering KIRLIA!! (because ballet, I'll probably draw this one at some point), deerling (coz autumn lol), pumpkaboo, ninjask, duskull (coz of his halloween costume), and just for vibes: riolu, charmeleon, jolteon, pikachu.

OKAY TAMARACK TIME!!! My first pick is teddiursa, I think, purely for the cuteness factor, plus they stand similar, it's sooo cute. Next kricketot (because cello), seedot, polteageist, politoed and for some more vibe ones: phantump, leafeon, togepi!! (oh my it fits her so well), joltik, comfey, bulbasaur, cleffa.

now for nobody's favourite, mr baxter alexander ward. So my first thought was gardevoir, specifically mega gardevoir because it looks like a ballroom dancer (plus the shiny has a black dress), but yeah he would definitely have a galarian zigzagoon as a teen (coz he listens to heavy metal i think?), aaand otherwise i had, zebstriker, gothitelle, mightyena, wooloo, and shiny roserade (coz it's fancy)

And lastly Ren! I'll be transparent- I do not know a lot about her,,, yeag my bad, so I just have all the fox pokemon put down for her, vulpix, nickit, fennekin, zorua- but also Volcarona I think would fit her vibes.

I lied that wasn't the last one a little bonus for my own mc, Rena, she would have a Vikavolt, Porygon, Staraptor, Espeon, Minccino, and Garchomp - and she's very afraid of ghost types

i love pokemon so much please tell me what pkemon your mcs would have pleaase please please

[sharkflan]

🌟wanted to try & get back into making fakemon after like 6 years🌟

so I thought of Meowscarada, Delphox, & Primarina (my 3 fav starter lines) being the starters of a Unova Legends game & so here are the rough draft designs + concepts I came up with:

they’re all based on different regions + time periods of the US (which Unova is supposed to be based on)

Meowscarada’s inspo is the modern southern US (specifically Louisiana, more specifically New Orleans) & its design + lore is heavily based on New Orleans’ celebration of Mardi Gras (which is already a design inspo for regular Meowscarada, but I brought it to the forefront here); it’s a grass/fairy type since fairy is by far the type most commonly associated with food (& y’know, “Fat Tuesday”), so it’s basically a well-intentioned, literal, party animal that probably helped the old Unovans with their festivities 🍃🦋

Delphox’s inspo is the colonial era eastern US (specifically Massachusetts, more specifically Salem) & its design + lore is heavily based on the Salem witch trials; it’s a fire/ghost type since it’s made up of the scorned spirits of the victims of the trials (I don’t really know what the Pokemon universe’s equivalent of the witch trials would be, maybe people were accused of being ghost Pokemon or maybe even Zoroarks(?), so it’s, hypothetically, very hostile & dangerous, but if raised lovingly from a Fennekin, it could be quite docile & trusting 🔥🪦

Primarina’s inspo is the early 20th century western US (specifically California, more specifically Hollywood) & its design + lore is heavily based on early 1900s Hollywood actresses & stardom; it’s a water/psychic type since it’s supposedly ‘ahead of the times,’ (but it was definitely an omen for the modern Unovan entertainment industry), so it’s, in summation, a Hollywood darling mermaid seal with magical psychic powers (this is Pokemon, after all) that was likely simultaneously both loved by & intimidating to the people of its time 🌊🔮

I would love to flesh out these designs & concepts more, but is what i’ve got for now sksk~ ✨
