POKEMON RANGER

[fiore-region-appreciation]

A reworked headcanon now that we have new games:

Using a Pokémon to fly between locations requires a licence in most regions, however the criteria needed in order to obtain one varies from region to region.

In most regions, a Flying Licence is obtainable to anyone holding a valid trainer's license, provided they've collected a set number of gym badges. Trainers are also expected to pass a short certification test, which really just confirms they know not to exceed certain altitudes, to avoid flying within the vicinity of an airport, to avoid leaving the region's airspace, and to ensure they're aware they MUST use a domesticated Pokémon.

In Galar and Paldea, a much more thorough (and prohibitively expensive) exam is required to obtain a licence, hence the presence of aerial taxis within these regions.

In Fiore, the rules are the absolute strictest, with Flying permits only being granted to Pokémon Rangers, who also must use a bonded Pokémon. Fiore is also the only region which requires permit holders to contact local air traffic control to avoid collisions.

These restrictions don't apply to the Dragonite Shuttle, since it flies a pre-trained route that's already been cleared by the appropriate authorities, however the Dragonite must wear a tracking device to ensure it doesn't veer off course.

Almia is the only region to allow permit holders to fly on wild Pokémon, however as stated in game this is a privilege only extended to Rangers in the upper echelons of Almia's Pokémon Ranger Union.

Oblivia is a free for all because it's the quickest way to island hop and nobody cares enough to regulate it.

imo, pokemon rangers has the best overworld experience of any pokemon game, it's so easy to move around and your pokemon feel part of the world and not just things that only exist for battle

Happy birthday to best pokemon game ever

Have this Nick appreciation post that I just copied from my main except I added more art to it

Fr tho this boyo needs more love, like comeon. He doesn't have any official art outside of his in-game sprites! Justice for my pessimistic bean.

(Also, the reason I drew him with a Natu was because I thought "hmm, if he had a partner pokémon, what would it be?" and it was the first thing that came to mind and oddly, it fits)

i've always wanted to write a pokemon ranger: guardian signs long fic where i play with the idea that ben and summer are just. incredibly codependent with each other.

figuring out how i think they first met, and which ranger bases they were stationed at prior to going to oblivia -- why they specifically were picked for the oblivia mission. their relation to past game characters.

i want a purple-prosey look into ben and summer's relationship with the air; being aerial rangers. how they met their initial staraptor partner pokemon. (also probably a look into early underwater training bc so much of that game goes underwater and like...that's not something you Just Do. you gotta be trained for that lol)

a deep dive into summer's time with rand and his family while ben is missing. i want lost of bonding with the whole family, leanne being a large help as summer navigates things. what it's like for the both of them to suddenly be without each other after years of basically being glued to the others side. (and how that played out as area rangers)

i've played with the idea of summer doing voice logs for the union, and so there'd be this block of dialogue where it's summer giving a quick recap of the day, with little confessions and emotional slip-ups in there. the occasional voice log being for ben instead of the union. eventually finding out that ben is no better in that regard, he's doing the same for her. the fear he has that his styler will eventually lose charge. it has a long battery life, but not infinite without the sun. the conditions of being held by the pinchers. i don't think blue eyes would have kept him in total squalor, but he wasn't comfortable, and i imagine it was dark and damp, given it was a submarine hold.

giving a proper timeline to things since as far as i remember, there was only ever one or two moments in the game that indicated a day had passed. making it go on over two or three months, instead of over a long afternoon.

going from a very unhealthy, "i don't know if i could live without you" to, "i lived without you for a while and it wasn't the end of the world. we still came back to each other."

but most importantly: refusing to make murph the constant butt of the joke because i LOVE HIM!!!!! he did nothing wrong!!!!! he's going to be just as much a mentor to summer and ben as any other character nO MORE murph slander!!!!!
