Got a few asks about what Pokemon I think Jessie and James would have if 1. they didn't just have the gacha machine and only caught Galarian Pokemon and 2. if they had the chance to go to Paldea
GALAR
Jessie: Sandaconda, Snom➡️Frosmoth, Impidimp➡️Morgrem
Sandaconda is a snake Pokemon. Jessie should be allowed to have all snake Pokemon. Period. Love the idea of her finding it and being unsure of what the hell she's looking at because it's all coiled up but upon it briefly uncoiling she falls in love.
Jessie should have had an Ice Type Pokemon at some point for real. Snow and ice play two big roles in her backstory (eating snow/growing up in a snowy location and her mother disappearing in an avalanche). Her having a lil Snom that's not particularly useful but that she grows to love would be so CUTE. They eat snow together!! Then I love the idea of her going from not thinking much of it to getting more and more attached to it over the series and then having it evolve to Frosmoth after some time (it'd remind her of her old friend Dustox)
Okay this one's gonna take a little explaining but I think it'd be so funny if at the same time, Jessie catches a Hatenna and James catches an Impidimp (mostly because Jessie wants the cute one). BUT Impidimp starts gravitating to Jessie because of her negative energy, which it feeds off of. She's much easier to prank and irritate than James, who's too much of a sweetheart and a little less susceptible to pranks. Jessie never finds out that Impidimp is the one pranking her but notices that it's taken a liking to her for some reason so she and James end up trading their Hattena and Impidimp with each other. It later evolves into Moregrem
James: Polteageist, Toxel, Hatenna➡️Hattrem
I think James is a tea lover, and enjoyed fancy teas when he was a child. Since he's a collector of bottlecaps and Pokeballs, I could see him also collecting teapots/teacups. Maybe they're in a haunted mansion one day and he grabs a teapot thinking it's a rare find but it's actually a Pokemon to his surprise. Also I think he deserves to have an Antique form, so it IS a rare find.
James having another baby Pokemon to fawn over like Mime Jr. would be so cute. It's an egg that the trio find but Jessie's too lazy to take care of it and Meowth's traumatized after the Togepi situation, not wanting to go through all that again. Toxel is born and it's James' everything. It's a bit bratty and constantly vying for his attention, usually by shocking and poisoning him but luckily James has built up an immunity to both those things thanks to Pikachu and Mareanie.
As stated before, James catches Impidimp initially but trades it for Jessie's Hatenna. Hatenna was NOT okay with the amount of emotions Jessie brought to the table and couldn't stand to be around her, often going to James who's much calmer between the two of them. Annoyed by it not liking her and finding that Impidimp DID like her, Jessie demands suggests a trade, which James is okay with as he's been growing attached to Hatenna. After it evolves into Hattrem, it starts (affectionately) smacking him whenever he shows too much emotion, carrying on the "James' Pokemon beat the shit out of him" legacy.
PALDEA
Jessie: Flittle➡️Espathra
Flittle just seems fitting for Jessie. She's always wanting a cute little baby Pokemon but funnily enough, never really gets one in the show. She absolutely pampers it and dresses it up. It eventually evolves into Espathra. Still being Jessie's mini-me, it often mimics her, particularly when Jessie's angry
James: Arboliva
Arboliva just feels like a Pokemon James would have LMAO. I think it'd be really sweet if after a particularly bad blast off, Arboliva finds Team Rocket and helps nurse them back to health even though they're mostly okay. They're grateful to it, James captures it and it continues to try mother all of them (in a less aggressive way than Bewear).
Shared: Scovillain
Listen. It'd be SO funny if Jessie and James shared a Pokemon. They see two Pokemon in the tall grass one day. A Pokemon with a red head and a Pokemon with a green head. Only having one Pokemon each at this time, they decide it's a good idea to catch another each. They throw their Pokeballs at the same time and the catch is successful! Just one problem. They find out the two Pokemon they tried to catch was actually just one Pokemon and they don't know which of the Pokeballs they threw was the one that actually caught it. They argue about it for quite a while but then agree to share custody. Leads to some funny scenarios where they're both trying to direct it in a battle. The red head prefers Jessie and the green head prefers James.

some people are taking the fact that choosing "love for pokemon" as a topic in volo trainer's lodge interactions gets you the lowest points is a sign that volo actually hates his pokemon and is tricking them. but i think thats not the whole truth
first off, the whole thing with n. already talked abt it, n doesn't lie, n believes pokemon don't lie, i think you can trust the pokemon whisperer on this one
second, Rei is a topic that gets you the most points but volo hates that guy. points dont necessarily correlate to what the character likes, its what they find interesting. volo puts a lot of focus on gathering info and of course he's going to want to know more about one of his biggest enemies. this info is useful to him. he doesn't need to talk about loving pokemon, that's not relevant to his plans.
third, one of volo's friendship evos is Lucario. lucario can sense auras. it can definitely tell what volo's true intentions are, it Can't fall for fake affection. remember that volo is an untrusting person who thinks everyone should be used before they can use him, of course he can't say outright that he grew attached to what are meant to be his tools. he's in denial. think silver and cyrus with their friendship evos.
volo being reluctant to talk about love for pokemon when he clearly does makes him way more interesting. if volo didn't love his togepi truly, then he wouldn't need to have a photo of the both of them in jubilife village's photography studio, nor would he need to carry the little thing in the crook of his arm like a baby. he could just keep her in her poke ball. but he coddles her instead. pokemon are loyal, he probably doesn't need to go to those lengths to ensure she follows him but he does anyway.

OL2 and Pokemon!!! Background is from the game :D
No motion blur:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
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

…. i said dawn’s team was gonna be massively different in the tags but. ngl i have zero ideas besides removing togekiss or quilava to make room for ambipom
trying to imagine pokeani gen 4 team rewrites... and tbh... while i'd tweak all the other ash teams. i really don't think i'd change a single thing about his gen 4 team besides erasing gible entirely (or moving him to iris. she gets a gible anyways, just make it a composite character situation)... like i wouldn't even evolve buizel tbh. (although that's partly because i don't really care for floatzel as much)
briefly considered moving torterra to brock so it doesn't get overshadowed by infernape, but ehhhhh. i really can't see ash with another gen 4 grass type besides maybeeee tangrowth? i think i'd just ensure that torterra doesn't get shafted so hard when it evolves.

POKEMOB!!!! ive been thinking abt this nonstop for like, weeks. check it out, though! lots of little guys! reigen's special move where he chucks his nacli at the foe as hard as possible! teru's furfrou's matching wig! other stuff! this post has 18 images
@skypiea helped SO much with pokemon choices for this also!
see under the cut for full teams and further explanation!!! please check it out
mob - ralts & espurr. later, silvally. mob isn't a trainer, and his pokemon don't fight. they're just little guys. type:null was originally toichiro's (who used various pokemon alongside the human claw grunts), mob met it in aftermath of the divine tree once everything in the domination arc was over. (it still doesn't battle or anything. big fancy lapdog full of love.)
ritsu - unovan braviary, bisharp, and alakazam. going along with his student council status & top-of-the-line grades, ritsu's a skilled trainer with some powerful pokemon. braviary and bisharp were his most used pokemon early on- they're sort of representative of his student council thing (note braviary's unobtainable psychic type form)- but abra was his first pokemon, a counterpart to mob's ralts. it only evolved first during ritsu and the esper kids' attempted escape of the 7th division claw building.
reigen - murkrow, greavard, thievul, and nacli. reigen's not a trainer, his pokemon are both pets and assist him with work. with the exception of nacli, dark and ghost types are his specialty (psychic-adjacent types, but Not actual psychic types). his murkrow imitates him constantly. greavard is uu-chan, of course, but this time he doesn't get eaten by dimple (uu-chan is still feeding on reigen's soul). one of nacli's possible abilities in the games is "purifying salt", which cuts damage from ghost moves. reigen's nacli, of course, has sturdy. and to quote kite, re: thievul: "Reigen: would an untrustworthy guy have THIS [sends out the thief pokemon]"
teru - furfrou (shiny), zoroark (maybe shiny i cant decide. burple), and togepi (later togekiss). before his encounter with mob in season 1, teru didn't actually use his pokemon in battle often- they're rare, flashy, and/or powerful, but they were lackeys and status symbols just as much as his underlings at black vinegar were. his relationship with his pokemon improved after he started to work on his humility, leading to the evolution of his togepi.
shou - morpeko, latias, and (mega) blaziken. he's a super tough trainer, and he cares about his pokemon So much. he rides his latias like she's a surfboard
serizawa - swoobat & bewear. serizawa didn't really have pokemon growing up after his self-imposed isolation- the stufful he had as a kid was taken care of by his mother once that happened. he met his woobat a while after joining claw, and it evolved sometime after the world domination arc. bewear isn't entirely his- but after the world domination arc, he reconnected with it and takes care of it some of the time. the rest of the time it's serimama's gigantic housebear
tome - two (later three which become a single magneton) magnemite, orbeetle, eventually elgyem. i think magnemite just fits her vibes... plus it's a bit ufo-y, innit. she HAD to have a bug, and i mean..look at orbeetle's gmax form! and it has the telepathy ability! unfortunately, despite her best efforts, orbeetle's telepathy ability hasn't proved useful for finding human telepaths. she caught elgyem on new years, on the way back down to the car. tome can hold her own in battle, but training for battle isn't something she's focused on.
dimple - is a yamask! his big powerful form is cofagrigus, obvs. his mask is usually blank save for the cheek spots, since he has no memory of his life as a human. the mask does change to fit the (LOL) and psycho helmet cult as well. he places his mask on someone's face to possess them like any other yamask, to others it just appears as the regular red cheeks, but to folks who can see spirits they see the mask. when possessing someone, his expressions will show on the mask as well.
whew, i think that's everything i wanted to talk about. thanks for reading!

Alright so I've been seeing a lot of discussion surrounding Volo and his Togepi on Twitter and I wanted to put my thoughts on the situation. In the latest Pokemas event we see a part of the story where Volo's Togepi greets N and N hears her voice. N clearly tells us that Togepi states that Volo takes care of her. And it's mentioned earlier that it's clear Volo does love his Pokemon. Yet people have noted that in the lodge the subject of "Love for Pokemon" is in his "interesting" topic category (as compared to say, "Excitement Building" or "Super Exciting"). Therefore it's led people to believe he actually hates his Pokemon and that he's actively manipulating them. I don't think that's the case. See one thing Pokemon has done well since Gen 1 is environmental storytelling, often done through the teams. You can learn a lot about a character's personality through the Pokemon they choose and the move-sets. Volo is no different. Him having a Togepi (and later in PLA a Togekiss). This is important because Togepi as we know evolves via high friendship and GameFreak often gives Pokemon who evolve via Friendship to antagonistic characters when they want to show they're misguided over just flat out cruel. And it's not just Togepi/Togekiss...by the boss fight with Volo we see him have a Lucario and Roserade...both Pokemon who have stages that require a friendship evolution. Togekiss and Lucario are also notable for being Pokemon that can sense feelings and they stick by Volo even when he's ready to remake the entire world.
This is GameFreak's signaling that Volo, despite him being a major backstabber, isn't 100% full of malice. That there's part of him that have good traits. But then why, you may ask, is "Love For Pokemon" so low for him on the lodge topics? Well it's likely because it's not a topic he's super passionate about. The lowest tier is "interesting"...and not "dislike/boring". Sure IRL, depending on tone "interesting" can be a polite way to say "I don't really care" but for Pokemas "interesting" topics just seem to be topics the character may either know only a little about or is intriguing but not something that would make them start talking a mile a minute. Volo having "Love for Pokemon" as an interesting topic likely points to the idea that he doesn't make that a huge part of his daily thought process as say Leaf who has it as her "Super Exciting Topic" (and indeed a lot of her Pokemas characterizations surrounds this as she is super passionate about it). Is it a noteworthy topic enough that's he's willing to talk about? Yes, but it's not something he's super passionate about compared to say myths and legendary Pokemon. It doesn't mean he's secretly manipulating his Pokemon and hates them. He has Pokemon that would be able to sense his true intentions if that was really the case. He has trust issues for sure (his lines about using others before they use you sound like he's been betrayed)...but that seems to be aimed moreso at humans (and Arceus) than his own team.

Obligatory Volo romantic/🥰 hc?
well if you INSIST (assuming the romance is with the player character here. also keeping these pretty positive and healthy, even though obviously there are plenty of uhhhh messier hcs to be made for this character specifically. i think tumblr will auto-shorten this post but please let me know if it doesn't and i'll add a cut)
in general, any iteration of volo wishes to demonstrate his devotion and usefulness to his partner through action. while he imagines a lot of grand gestures, it usually ends up being pretty mundane in practice. like getting things off tall shelves and tidying up a living space (he's a total neat freak). the exception is volo in a canon divergence where he actually becomes a god, in which case every gesture would be a grand gesture, and it probably gets out of hand
it's extremely important to him that togepi/togetic/togekiss loves his partner. he is genuinely so concerned about this, and fears what would happen if she didn't, despite togepi/tic/kiss being the literal embodiment of joy and love. this insecurity almost certainly stems from the fact that he still can't believe that togepi/tic/kiss loves him
he has read a lot of books and he loves to hear himself talk. also, he's been method acting for like five straight years and makes a living selling people things. the man has a way with words, take that as you will
he's a strict vegetarian (also doesn't eat eggs) for ethical reasons and knows how to cook extremely well to fit his dietary needs. one might expect him to be an "i'll eat a chicken because a chicken would eat me" kind of guy, but because humans have higher intelligence and the capacity for morality, volo holds them to higher standards than animals. therefore, it wouldn't be wrong for a chicken to eat him, but it would be wrong for him to eat a chicken. anyway this is a romantic headcanon because he really really loves to share his cooking, especially if it's a traditional recipe he found while researching history
he has a naturally pleasant singing voice and near-perfect pitch. the volo i write grew up on the mainland and came to hisui as a young adult, so i like to think that he grew up playing the piano and is very skilled, although out of practice. he occasionally hums or sings in front of his partner and it's very nice to hear
he knows how to sew and offers to help the player character make some modern clothing garments they miss from the future. also makes some clothing for them based on his own ideas, because he thinks they would look nice dressed up to his tastes :)
doesn't half-ass anything, especially not in terms of relationships. if he says it's casual, it's because his partner asked to keep it casual and he wants to respect their boundaries and honor their wishes, which is within itself something he does with intention and care
he is simultaneously very aware of the fact that he's beautiful in situations where it benefits him, and completely blindsided by his partner's unprompted acknowledgements of his beauty
loves going on hours-long walks with his partner and sharing/listening to enthusiastic diatribes about niche interests. bonus if the interest is totally unfamiliar to the other person. basically, ancient sinnoh video essays
he likes having regularly-occuring shared activities to look forward to. like, weekly game nights with his partner or taking their pokemon to battle at the training grounds as a team when they know some highly-skilled opponents are going to be there
likewise, he just really likes battling as a team. like if he and his partner run into the bandits in the wild, it's a genuine pleasure, because it means he gets to wield train his pokemon alongside someone on his level (also he likes being the hero sometimes, especially if he's upstaging arceus's chosen hero)
volo loves pda for several reasons: he's touch-starved, he's possessive, and he's a performer at heart
some fourth wall breakage, as a treat: he'd absolutely read romantic fanfiction about himself and leave multi-paragraph comments making corrections and highlighting lines he particularly appreciated

Volo headcanon time cause it's about damn time I do em-(please note these may be very much oc/canon and also just general characterization based on information given, if you don't agree that's cool)
I like to think he's super playful in how he talks if he's "close" to someone, a smile with all his teeth a wag of his finger, and he could either be humming playful nicknames(he does say "my favorite customer" a lot after all)or he can be a sarcastic ass, a smart remark done up with sweet words, a prod that send a glare his way(that he marvels at, it's his favorite)
He'll lap up compliments like a thirsty arcanine, if you compliment his knowledge of myths and legends he'll happily tell you all the work he's done and of his devotion. You literally won't get him to shut up once you start him.
He however cannot handle compliments about how he looks or anything like that. He knows he's attractive at a social standpoint, I mean he definitely does have women staring at him and men eyeing him so being so pretty yet so tall and also built. But hearing it makes his brain kinda stop-
I think he can he calm and collected. But it's usually to hold that friendly merchant look.
Building off that one, he can be kind, I think, in a transactional way. He knows kindness will get him things so he believes that's how everyone does things.
He's a touch starved praise needing idiot cause if God can't give him meaning shit as fuck if someone else can he will be a fool with an obsession matched to his devotion as Arceus.
He'd be terrified to get attached to someone though, not because it'd interfere with his plans(I think he'd actually believe maybe he could keep the person he built attachment to)he's terrified that he smiles, that he laughs, that he eagerly awaits to meet, that he feels his teeth clench when someone gets too close for(his)comfort, that he longs for a hand against his arm with a smile at him, that there's no pull away from his own touch.
He's tired as fuck. Desire and devotion are an exhausting feat, and often times he struggles to sleep, struggles to eat if he didn't work for the ginko guild and NEEDED to eat to(barely)do his job he probably would forget(togepi/togekiss is also good reminder)
He does love his pokemon. But he's so...weird about it, he keeps the ideal that a "good tool is one that is cared for" because if his pokemon are not cared for deeply then all their lives will be at risk in such a deadly landscape. But ah if he didn't comfortably lean into Arcanine when it's cold and she rests her great head on his knee. Or when Togekiss flutters about stealing his cap making him shake out a scoff with a smile. Or when Lucario helps him carry supplies when there's too many. Or when Roserade uses aromatherapy to help him sleep. Or when Garchomp helps protect him from raging pokemon in the wilds. Or Spiritomb helping keep away pesky ghost mon late at night.

Ingo and Emmet are wearing a matching caboose and engine car costume for Halloween, alongside the kids in similar costumes. Erin dressed as a passenger car while Inka and Emma opted to dress like their dad and uncle. The complete set shocked a few people at the trick or treat event the twins decided to host at the Gear Station. Elesa got a good laugh out of it at least.
Grimsley is dressing up as dracula since he liked to indulge the thought a bit for Halloween. Naturally, that means his two children should match him. Morrigan eagerly wears a cute vampire themed costume while Nero was to be convinced to do it. In the end, the vampire family who went trick or treating went viral online since people thought they actually were.
Cyrus and Lenie both ended up wearing somewhat related costumes. Cyrus went as an astronaut (to hide his face since he did not want to be seen trick or treating), and Lenie as an alien. Both accidentally unnerved every house they went to with their stern expressions and lack of tone in their voice. (Lenie insisted they matched since her Unovan pen pal did with his dad. Cyrus could only relent to her.)
Colress was excited about Prisma's request for matching costumes. Instantly, he went to mad scientist, but his daughter insisted on something else. So, he was currently an evil villain to her magical girl. Somehow, his mind drifted to a certain trainer from Unova when she sent out her Mawile to "defeat" him. She was recording this to upload. (They forgot to go trick or treating.)
Lear was excited to host a trick or treating event. Not only did it bring attention and funds, but he wanted to make his children happy. His suggestion for a royal family costume was shot down by his partner, but Regan and Cordelia seemed okay with it. So, he went a Halloween king and his children followed. Due to their celebrity status, their costumes were posted all over as they trick or treated.
Volo was a brave, brave man. While his suggestion for dressing as Arceus was shot down. Somehow, he ended up in a Togekiss onesie while Astrea wore a Togepi matching one. They explored this "trick or treating" activity together on Pasio. Volo was the object of many discussions. At least, he was very clearly a loving father.

This has been sitting on my head for a while, what kind of Pokemon would the FoM cast have for as their team ?Au?
This one was tricky- i’m not gonna lie. My confession is that i’m not a huge Pokemon nerd, I know like maybe up to Gen 4 confidently. But- I do know how to pair these funky little guys. So, here you go!
HC’s under the cut
Tumblr media
Adeline: Off the bat, I think she’d have physic type pokemon. She needs someone who can help her use paperwork and also help her take a load off. So I think her team would be: Raltz, Galarian Ponyeta, Espeon, Hattere, and Delphox.
Balor: Being our beloved rougish character. I think he would have both cute- and scary pokemon. So his team would probably consist of a lot of fairy type and ghost/dark types. I think his team would be: Mimikyu, Marill, Mawhile, Sinestea, Phantump, and Haunter.
Eiland: Look me in my eyes rn and tell me he would not have rock/ground type. He’s an archaeologist. Of course he does. His team would be: Leafeon (Not a ground type but I think it’s cute if him and Adeline both have eveeloutions), Phanpy, Onyix ofc, Silvally, Clodsire my boy, and of course the fossil pokemon- Kabuto.
Celine: She would definitely have grass or fairy. Just look at her. I’m giving her togepi because she would look so cute walking around with her. She’d also have Bonsweet, Given roses are a loved gift- i’d say she’s have Roselia too, Deerling for the vibes, she’d also have marill and a wooper.
March: Once again. Look me in my eyes and tell me he wouldn’t have steel/rock type. If you say no you’re wrong. He’d have Metaln- I mean it’s little molten metal. That’s like- his thing. I can not explain it- but Lucario. He’s a sucker for cute things, so Togedemaru. TINATINK. She’d like to help him hammer. Geodude. And Rockruff.
Tumblr media
That’s all I got for now! Because this hurt my brain 💀 but if you want more specific pokemon teams you can let me know! Or- better yet @mistriarts is a pokemon connoisseur ask her lmao

Hiiiii I'm really really curious y u picked each pokemon 4 each of the dbd characters and it doesn't look like anyone else has asked so I was wondering if u could explain it?
hey, yes of course i am happy to explain!!
Crystal
espurr - has a ton of psychic power they cant control, i feel like crystal would relate to, with her discovering her powers are more complicated than she thought
espeon - suggested by a couple of people on twitter!! espeons give off a mysterious and standoff-ish vibe thats similar to crystal
she was also the first one I drew and posted so she only has two pokemon Q_Q i want to give her more
Niko
shiinotic - i imagine niko found one of these bad boys while in the woods where she ran into the sprites. she's also got a mushroom themed green outfit in the time loop ep.
togetic - evolved from a togepi from high friendship, and i think friendship is what niko is all about. she has so much love to give! it feels fitting for her to have a friendship based pokemon!
whimsicott - they are mischievous prank loving annoying as hell pests of a pokemon (per their pokedex entries). i like them as representative of the sprites. someone said jumpluff instead but i disagree because jumpluffs aren't considered pests. i think edwin, charles, and crystal hate her whimsicott but niko loves to snuggle her <3
Charles
toxtricity - amped form cause that one gets natures similar to charles (If i had more time i would even map out the pokemon natures, abilities, and move sets they would each have. i played comp pokemon...) toxtricity is also music themed, and has know anger issues, so i think charles would relate to that
scraggy - scrappy little fighter!! also punk-ish. a little guy who gets bullied but will put up a fight. i think charles would love him and want to protect him.
hitmontop - little fighting dude. i like that hitmontop has steadfast ability (incr. speed after flinch), cause i interpret it as getting back up to keep on fighting and protecting those you love, even after getting your ass beat, which is how charles operates.
Edwin
rowlet - on god, this is purely cause of the bowtie. also i think rowlet would keep edwin company while he reads his books very late into the night.
mimikyu - a lonely pokemon who just wanted to be loved. HMMMM. edwin felt its pain and adopted it into his family.
sirfetch'd - suggested by some people on twitter, cause of the actor being a fencer. but also i think edwin would have a pokemon that would protect him, before he met charles.
polteageist - hes a fancy british boy. i know his ass drinks tea with the pinky out. i think he rescued the polteageist during one of their cases.

What was the big ‘Oh I’m in love with this person’ moment? For both sides of the equation.
Tumblr media
Since there are so many pairings within Sisterhood, I'll simply select three in particular for this response:
🤎Conflictingshipping🤎
It's rather difficult to pinpoint exactly when the realization occurred, but Leaf has loved Green for a very long time - ever since they were children dreaming of travel.
He was a different boy back then, or rather he was far less obnoxious. Dare I say perhaps sweet? He gave Leaf all his time, attention, and an assortment of promises he intended to keep.
Green vowed that, once the two of them received their first partner Pokémon, they would journey across Kanto together, and someday the world, as husband and wife.
Unfortunately, his ego grew to a detrimental degree sometime after reaching his teens, and Green doesn't realize he loves Leaf until he's lost her. It requires a great deal of apology and pleading to convince Leaf to leave Mt. Silver.
Once she's returned to his life, Green makes every effort to amend for his previous behavior and broken promises. When a mysterious map falls into their possession, perhaps this will be the adventure the two can finally embark on together as partners.

Steven develops feelings for Haruka and recognizes them relatively swiftly. He's far too polite to ever complain outwardly on the matter, but he's become accustomed to women fawning over him because of his wealth, status, and attractive appearance.
However, Haruka is different. When in her company, he isn't heir to the Devon Corporation, the Hoenn League Champion, and the region's most eligible bachelor. He's simply Steven, the young man with an interest in collecting stones.
It takes Haruka a while longer to fall for this stunning male specimen. Their relationship is rather platonic from her point of view, as she manages to frequently misinterpret his various attempts at making his affections known. Steven suddenly traveling to another region without giving her the opportunity to say goodbye following the Delta Episode did not do him any favors.
He also refrains from calling her during this time since he fears her reaction to his letter, earning appalled ones from Wallace and Lisia. With their assistance, he learns how best to reconcile with Haruka. And it takes a little more than a Poké Doll or a few.
Steven offers to go on an adventure with her, to investigate the undersea ruins past Pacifidlog Town. When he proves to her this isn't simply a gesture to pacify her frustration but an activity he's enjoying alongside her, Haruka finally begins to see what's so special about Hoenn's silver-haired dreamboat, Steven Stone.

From the first meeting, Volo knows he loves Akari. Anyone who would wish to remove all suffering from the world must be at least somewhat of a romantic. But his justification for these abrupt feelings is possibly surprisingly poignant: If Akari is hated for no discernible reason, why can he not love?
However, her first impression does leave a strong impact. From the way her head remains held high in defiance even when surrounded by the whispers of the villagers to her pleasantly plump figure, she captures Volo's intrigue and his heart. Then as the two of them speak, that sharp gaze of hers softens ever so slightly.
Akari also acquires his Togepi's attention. She hides her face against his chest when in the presence of others, but Akari's aura coaxes the Spike Ball Pokémon to turn around in her Wielder's arms. Were Volo not already awed, he certainly would be following this feat.
It takes Akari considerably longer to return his affections. Nearly no one, and not excluding Volo himself, believes she could do so after what occurs on Mount Coronet's summit. But Volo experiences an epiphany: Akari is the greatest force of good he's ever encountered, and by dedicating his life to her happiness, he can aid in the creation of a better, kinder world.
Volo's sentiments towards Arceus have shifted to indifference and his devotion to her runs deeper. With persistence, Volo leaves little room for doubt in Akari's mind the tender moments they shared prior to his betrayal weren't mere fabrications.
She's eventually forced to acknowledge that, due to them originating from different time periods, Akari may have been in denial of her own feelings of fondness all along.

Fortunately, I found the time to make some new Mareep art for Mareep Day (the fact that said time was from midnight to 3AM is irrelevant 🙃), so here we have the moment I caught the Mareep on my in-game team—one of the first characterization moments I made for any of my Pokemon:
Tumblr media
This is Shawn the Mareep, whose monotonous life on Route 32 was turned upside-down when she laid her eyes upon Toasty the Cyndaquil, leaping out of the tall grass to pounce and cuddle him! And, much to the poor echidna's dismay, his trainer (me!) decided to catch her and bring her along on the journey, instead of chasing her off or something. So now he has to deal with an admirer through my journey through Johto. Fun! For a continued writeup of the two's relationship, plus a timelapse of the art, click below!
During the whole journey, I picture the two of them being mostly at odds with each other—with Shawn continually trying to impress Toasty, while the poor Cyndaquil/Quilava/Typhlosion wants nothing to do with her beyond her being "that one teammate who keeps getting on my nerves." Given the Mystery Egg in Pokemon SoulSilver, I can even see her trying to place herself and Toasty in the role of the Togepi's parents... only for her to be embarrassed when it latches onto my Noctowl as a mom, instead. Then, things change during the Lake of Rage portion: Shawn, now an Ampharos, gets kidnapped via sleight of hand, one of many pilfered electric-types Team Rocket is using to power their evolution wave plan. David (still me!) doesn't learn about this until he's about to battle the red Gyarados, and after they fail to find her... Toasty is furious, rushing right into the Souvenir Shop and threatening any grunts who get in his way. He even defeats Ariana's Arbok effortlessly when it taunts him about Shawn's fate! Afterwards, Shawn and the other electric-types are rescued, and for once, the Ampharos sees her Typhlosion beloved finally returning the love she had for him since they met. And so, one short cuddle later, the two are on much friendlier terms for the remainder of the Johto and Kanto trips. She still tries to impress him, sure... but now, her attempts work. So, there's that. And now, here's that timelapse I promised at the start!
...Yeah, don't mind the lack of stripes on her ears compared to above, despite a visual reference I completely forgot to add them until I began typing out this Tumblr post, at which point I had removed the timelapse from the file. Whoops!

Oh, I guess N did get Reshiram back at some point after all, just offscreen. (It was always a pipe dream anyway after the VA ended that we'd get a White Kyurem alt for Ghetsis anyway 😂)
Also, Volo apparently loves and takes care of his Togepi really well and I was thinking they might have actually given him an actual redeeming quality, but "love for Pokemon" is among his weaker topics in the Lodge, and there is a line later that still makes me a bit wary about how true that love is, just given how manipulative he can be, or if he's more in denial about it. He even looks a bit surprised when N points it out!

Well, at least him taking good care of her is genuine tho and that she's grateful to him.
