[exploding-toad]

omgomg i had this idea for pokémon and batfam and im SURE its been done before but i didnt look anything up this is just my take.

i think they would have different pokémon for civilian forms vs hero forms but they would all have a flying type pokémon.

but like corviknight is for batman but bruce would probably have like a pichu.

also the houndoom is from talia, it was a houndour when damian was dropped off. also im sure damian has a bunch of the small pokémon he can hold.

i need more ideas for the others but here are my sketches!!!

[ask-tssb]

just made an au in character ai where alexandria accidently kills opal instead of opal doing it 💀

Fascinating AU.

[rhymeswithchronic]

WELL LETS GET INTO IT THEN

Since I’m not sure if I could make a one shot out of this-

Here’s the vision: Every player spawns in with a pokemon. This is their partner. The player and their pokemon are the same age, spawning at the same time. Their partner pokemon isn’t always their ace pokemon, but it usually is. There’s something unique about some people’s partner pokemon though.

See, rarely, there’s a player that spawns with a legendary or mythical. Because of the sheer amount of potential power in these Pokemon, these players are often killed as soon as they spawn. Very few actually get anywhere.

Evbo spawns in with a Jirachi.

A Jirachi with 0 IVs, with no knowledge of how to train it, and it has one move: Wish.

They’re bonded though, and Evbo really doesn’t care about the fact that she has no attacking moves. He loves his silly little pokemon even though she totally defenseless and encourages his bad habits (come on, they’re bonded, of course she encourages his bad shopping habits to the max)

Tabi plans on attacking him, but as soon as she sees this pathetic little pokemon she can’t help but take pity and gives him a single pokeball to catch something that actually can defend itself.

He returns with a level 1 Treecko.

“I told you to get something that can FIGHT!”

“She can!” Evbo insists. “She knows tail whip AND tackle.”

Tabi shows off her partner pokemon- a Swellow that basically stays constantly perched on her head. Watching. She trains him in the way of type matchups.

So from then on, as soon as Evbo realizes there is actually a chance for him to fight, he finds himself hoping against hope that he’ll be able to survive a little longer. Cant die too early or else he won’t find out anything!

Maybe hope is the wrong word. I guess the proper word is he *wishes* to live.

From there, things progress as usual. The Guard’s partner is a Kleavor, Parrot’s a Chatot, and PrinceZam has a Pyroar. Evbo collects Pokemon that he thinks are cute or cool looking, which ends up with him getting judged even harder because he ends up with an entire team of grass and fairy types. Better than a monotype, but not by much. His Jirachi remains incapable of fighting for itself but never leaves his side, but that also means he forever has his Treecko hanging from his shoulder and Jirachi hovering somewhere next to him.

Upon being imprisoned, his entire team is taken away from him except his bonded Jirachi. The Guard ends up keeping them safe for him. You see, Jirachi is called the wish maker for a reason, and it’s because of the wish that she granted that Evbo can respawn.

She granted his wish to live.

Whenever he goes to the Gold Level, the guard gives him his Treecko back, which the Diamond Swords very avidly help him train into a perfectly EV trained Sceptile.

Yada yada, he escapes with Tabi in tow, Diamond Sword level, etc etc, but when he finds himself face to face with Tabi for the last time, he prepares himself to fight her Swellow, knowing it’s her strongest pokemon.

Only for him to realize that her entire team was a lie. She’s an experienced trainer, of course she has more than just six Pokemon stored away. And as she pulls out her real team, Evbo realizes with horror that she has developed and trained this team over the course of them knowing each other with the express purpose of countering his.

Her partner isn’t even a Swellow.

It is a perfectly trained, max IV Corviknight.

Against his grass/fairy dueltype team.

He never stood a chance.

I WANNA SEE HELLO ??

- BT

You’re in luck!

Here she is, our one winged demon, Sephiroth. She can’t fly, but she does have a habit of climbing things as if she’s some kind of Chatot or swift. Swifts, for those in dimensions without them, are small birds that are known for climbing and clinging to things, as well as only landing to nest. Of course, our Sephiroth is not a swift, she’s a Swellow, but the shape her body makes while she climbs is very similar to one.

She’s a troublemaker because she’s curious. She loves getting into places where she shouldn’t be. She’s very gutsy, we’ll give her that. Thankfully, she never drops down from a perch to dive-bomb staff or other residents. Thank the gods, ahaha!

The staff member in the picture, the human, not the bird, is Crow, one of our caretakers.

Part 2 of my take on Batfam x Pokemon

In this part, I’m including Steph and Cass. I know I said i was also gonna do Damian and duke, but i haven't had inspiration yet 😭😭

Part 1 is here

=====

Stephanie: She’s always overlooked for the guys when it comes to Robin. I know she wasn’t Robin for long, but I’d still like to reference it at least somewhat

Taillow/Swellow | “Tolson” - Steph finds Taillow when she was a few years old. She brought him inside and insisted that they keep him. Despite Arthur saying no, no matter how hard they try, the taillow kept coming back, and so they literally had zero choice but to keep him!

Ralts/Gardevior | “Misty” - She finds a little ralts wandering around Gotham toward her first few years as Spoiler. She played with her for a little while, and the ralts continued to follow Steph around Gotham before saving her from an attacking an attacking houndoom and then leading her to a shiny Umbreon, who just so happened to belong to the third robin

Feebass/Milotic | “Little Guy” - toward the latter of her time as spoiler, she finds a little guy (feebass) just swimming around in the muck of gotham. she felt bad for the “little guy” and took him in. turns out, little guy eventually becomes big guy- a Milotic!

Fennekin/Delphox | “Katniss” - the first pokemon she finds as Robin (which matches her with the other robins, and she would be lying if she said it didn’t feel like fate)

Jolteon | “Sparky” - She’s given Jolteon by Bruce when she comes back from the “dead” (Note that the others have all started as eevees before evolving into the pokemon they are now, whereas Steph’s jolteon never grew up with her. this can either be read as her being accepted into the batfam without truly NEEDING to be Robin, her never really being part of the batfam in the first place, or bruce wanting to erase her time as “Robin” and acknowledgethat she was so much more than his sidekick. it’s all up to the reader to decide how much angst they want to indulge in :3)

Cass: Being raised as a weapon, she probably relates more to pokemon than she does humans, seeing as they don’t rely solely on words to communicate, but with body language and such too. this probably lends to her having a closer bond with her pokemon, and the bats/citizens of gotham coming up to her and asking why their pokemon are acting up/if their pokemon love them and whatnot. she’ll work closely with Damian to bust pokemon trafficking rings and others of the such :3 I'm also unsure what exactly she'd name her pokemon, but she'd probably have help from tim and steph later on

Riolu/Lucario | “Reed” - her first pokemon was a riolu given to her to use. they are completely and wholly dedicated to each other in the beginning, since both were hesitant to take another creature's life. Riolu evolves into Lucario to help Cass escape, and helped bring Cass onto Bruce's radar

Trapinch/Flygon | "Falen" - Cass finds a trapich buried in the sand while in the middle east, and decides to keep it. It stays, and eventually evolves into flygon, who sticks loyally by her side

Eevee/Vaporeon | “Eve” - Tim gives Cass an eevee as a gift within her first years with the Batfam while the others were still wary of her. Cass loves the eevee SO much, but she accidentally runs into a water stone that dick had left out, and evolved into a vaporeon rather than a sylveon

Rockruff/Lycanroc | “Sedis” - Jason is the one who gives her a rockruff as a peace offering, or maybe a bride to look past his killing of vile criminals? Either way, she keeps the little guy, and she lets tim name the pokemon, and he chooses Sedis to match with Iggy (Sedimentary and Igneous rocks)

Cosmog/Solgaleo | “Lumens” - I think Cass deserves to be the only one with a box legendary :3 she probably picks up a cosmog after settling in with the batfam, and when she shows him off, everyone is like 😃 Tim is really intrigued, and damian is jealous that HE didn't get to have a sparkly space cloud, and he'd be even MORE jealous when he finds out that Cass gets to have a sparkly space LION (Lord knows he 100% wants a lion)

[wooahaes]

ok svt pokemon au [version 2] for funsies. this is still league stuff bc i don't feel like figuring out their normal everyday teams/jobs rn <3

starting off with the gym leaders. in order: vernon -> jun -> joshua -> minghao -> wonwoo -> jeonghan -> mingyu -> seungkwan

vernon is a bug type gym leader. i put him as the first gym leader because he's kind of the least competitive of the group, and chose bug type for him because i think he'd see the potential that bugs have. yeah, some kid can come in and wipe his gym with a fire or flying type, but he's here to try and teach 'em something along the way. i could see him having a joltik and a paras on his team as two little guys, with beedrill serving as his ace pokemon. while not on his competitive team, i could also see him having a snom/frosmoth as well as a pokemon that he's buddies with. i think his gym would probably be relatively straight-forward, no huge gimmicks, just battle his trainers and face him and he'll congratulate you on a job well done.

jun has a water type gym and is probably the friendliest gym leader to new trainers. he tends to be a bit laid-back and more of the educational guy, especially when he battles kids. i think his ace would likely be a quagsire (friend-shaped lil guy) and the rest of his team would be composed of a psyduck and a lotad. i 100% also see jun being the kind of gym leader who gets very involved with his own community and gets well known because of this. tending to gardens, hosting cook-outs, etc. i honestly could see his gym being a restaurant, if i'm honest? you have to take out his trainers/staff and that's when he'll come out of the kitchen to 'cool off' with his water types. man who tells you its important to take breaks, probably.

joshua comes next as a flying type gym leader who loves his silly little birds so much. the kind of leader who spouts off poetry and really plays up this airy, gentlemanly character when he's on the clock. outside of it, he's just a mostly chill dude who goes off to get drinks with the other gym leaders and teases them. his team has a swellow and a swablu on it, while his ace is a vespiquen that he'll openly admit was achieved with the help of vernon (to find a female combee). he trusts her with his life btw and they're a terrifying duo. i think he'd have an open-air gym, maybe with some flowers to really sell home the cozy, casual vibe he's aiming for. the kind of place that you can bike through on an average day (and he does).

minghao is an ice type gym leader who also plays up a certain image when he's doing his job. while plenty of people have seen his warmer side, when he's in gym leader mode, he's colder and much more calculated--a very intelligent gym leader to go up against. his gym either involves some sort of skating puzzle or for trainers to cross ice flows, balancing to get across to him. his team has a froslass, lapras, and weavile, all leading up to his ace: alolan ninetails. like joshua and his vespiquen, minghao and his ninetails are a terrifying duo because of their close bond. i think he's the kind of trainer who 100% makes sure to train a lot with his team so that they're all highly coordinated. unfortunately is very aware that his gym has been a tough spot for some trainers to the point where they've quit, but a very vocal advocate for trainers to step back, examine their teams and strategies, and use their own frustration as a motivator to kick his ass.

for wonwoo, i ended up going the kind-of predictable route this time of giving him psychic (because ghost is going to someone else). unfortunately, i'm also not original, because i still think his gym being a library is so fitting for him. it'd be more of a modern library with nice big windows and a tech center, and probably doubles as such with a arena in the center for battles to be contained to. his ace is a gallade he's lovingly raised from an egg. he also has a meowstic, xatu, and a hattrem who would likely have been his ace if his gym was a little later in the league (giving him a hatterene). all of them are nicknamed after literary characters btw. highly intelligent, very good with strategy in terms of battling. absolutely records the battles he loses (and wins, but the loses are more important for this) and goes back over them with his team later to see how they can better prepare for future battles. not the kind of guy to be competitive in the 'i hate losing' sense, but in the 'i want to be the best at what i do' sense.

jeonghan comes shortly after with his team of ghosts that do help him pull pranks on his friends. very friendly and very jovial for a guy who's gym fully leans into a more gothic aesthetic. maybe even placed within an old castle to really ham it up. i could easily see jeonghan playing into a vampire-y role as well, just to have fun with his job. his team has a sableye, banette, and mimikyu, with gengar serving as his ace. they're his little pals and he loves them dearly. there's a lot of stories floating around out there, typically from cheol, about jeonghan's little team of pranksters that he has pulled together. they, with joshua and his team, are the worst to deal with because they can easily get the drop on you either by not being visible or by swooping in via flying types.

mingyu is very high up in the league because he's one of the more competitive people, so he likes a solid challenge. he's a steel type gym leader who i could see having some sort of factory as his gym, complete with some sort of conveyor belt puzzle for trainers to solve. his team has a mawile, a bisharp, and a togedemaru. people constantly question the presence of his bisharp, but they're just bros and probably one of the first pokemon mingyu ever trained up. his ace is a tinkaton because of course it is. a reckless, impulsive pokemon that likes doing whatever it wants? he enables her and lets her pick out whatever scrap metal she wants after battles--win or lose--as a reward for doing her best. his tinkaton is basically his child.

and while mingyu is highly competitive, i think seungkwan is the one person out of this group that can and does beat him on a regular basis enough to have earned that eighth gym leader slot. man who 100% monologues about how he's tougher than he seems and is proud of his place. his fighting type team are his babies and he is 100% also the kind of trainer who's ace, bewear, has been with him since the beginning of his own journey. he loves the rest of his team dearly, though: pawmot, lucario, medicham, and breloom. all are pretty formidable in their own ways, but watch out for the synergy he has with that bewear.

as for the league... the elite four can be challenged in any order.

seokmin is the fairy type elite four member, who's chamber leans more into a fairy tale aesthetic, complete with him being kind of a knight or princely figure. he is absolutely the person who congratulates you on making it this far first, and says he hopes your journey to become champion doesn't end here, because he's 100% not going to let you win without a good fight. he has a dedenne, gardevoir, florges, and a galarian rapidash on his team, with a togekiss being his ace. like a lot of the others on this list, seokmin raised his togekiss from an egg and is very close with the little guy as a result. he's outright admitted that it makes him sad when his togekiss faints, so he's usually the first party member he recovers before congratulating the trainer on defeating his team. he feeds his team snacks after a battle while taking care of them. he 100% has a poffin recipe that he swears by, too.

jihoon is the ground type member who is pretty widely known for being extremely reliable and someone who's own dedication often motivates others to do better. his chamber is surprisingly more laid-back and cozy, as it's more of a place for him to let go and enjoy battles than it is for him to do his job. he takes it seriously, don't get him wrong: but battling for him is something he cares deeply about, he won't be a pushover, but it's freeing when he and his team are on the same wavelength. his garchomp, his ace, is his longtime teammate and actually the parent to the garchomp that seungcheol has on his own team. he also has a gastrodon, excadrill, flygon, and nidoqueen to round out the rest of his team. they're protective of him in the same way he respects and cares for them: he wouldn't be here without them, and he's proud to be their trainer.

soonyoung is the electric type trainer who's chamber is over the top with fireworks and a sick ass light show that he easily turns off for trainers who need that change. it'll still have fancy lighting, but nothing that can harm anyone. he's the guy who hypes you up and says he's gonna give this battle everything he's got, but also congratulates you if you've already faced jihoon (or warns you that jihoon's one of the strongest trainers he knows if you haven't). soonyoung's ace is a luxray, the closest thing i can get to a tiger being an electric lion. he also has a zebstrika, emolga, boltund, and ampharos to round out the rest of his electric type team. guy who is so, so intense in battle but if you see him outside of his job he's usually one of the most chill people. probably plays fetch with his boltund a lot.

seungcheol is probably one of the scariest dragon type trainers in the business. he's carefully raised his entire team from eggs ever since he was a kid, and that effort shows. to help balance the e4 out a bit, he tends to play a more serious role like jihoon does. if he's the last trainer you face, he'll congratulate you highly on performing so well this far and that he's hopefully looking forward to seeing you go on to face the champion. if he's the first, he definitely admires your courage to face him ahead of the others, since he knows about his reputation. his ace is his tyrantrum, restored from a fossil forever ago and his closest pal. but he trusts the rest of his team just as intensely: duraludon, dragonite, garchomp, and kingdra. yes, his garchomp exists to match jihoon's. if he could have matched a pokemon to soonyoung's and seokmin's teams, he would have. also another guy who goes back over battle footage with his team in order to better prepare for future battles.

and then finally, there's the champion: the future of kpop himself, lee chan. the room you enter is going to be the most elaborate stage set-up in the fucking world. he has fought long and hard to get to this place, he is going to ham it up and have his own fucking overhyped monologue that seungkwan calls overdramatic every single time he has to hear it. he doesn't stick to a single type, instead having a variety of pokemon. his ace is his tyranitar, and the rest of his team is as follows: metagross, blaziken, rosesrade, milotic, and blissey. like cheol, he's trained his entire team for an incredibly long time to have earned the title of pledis champion. i can see him with sharp looking sunglasses and a jacket thrown over his shoulders that you're left wondering how it stays on. if you beat him, literally everyone shows up to clown on him /j. nah but fr, he straight up tells you not to get too comfortable: he'll rise up to challenge you for the title again soon, but he congratulates you on a battle well fought.

and then everyone clowns on him once you're out of the room to be added to the record because they saw that speech. loser lmao!!!!! big dork!!!! what a dramatic NERD!!!! and he probably laughs it off because where else is he going to just be able to ham it up and be a big dramatic goofball

#277. Swellow

Swellow is very conscientious about the upkeep of its glossy wings. Once two Swellow are gathered, they diligently take care of cleaning each other's wings.

Colour and symbol charts can be found here.

A note on colours: in my experience, floss looks different irl than in online pattern makers. If you think a different colour will work better, go with your gut!

[front-facing-pokemon]

i hate flittle so fucking bad solely on account that they're the #1 cause of car accidents while i'm riding koraidon. they're SO small and i never see them before i start barreling into them at 100mph. nymble does the same thing but at least he's cute. smh

there's like thirty asks in my inbox. whoops!! choosing to put this one at the top because 1. it's the most recent and 2. this is worded fucking hilariously hello? #1 cause of car accidents. i agree with this and you're right but holy shit

now. for the rest of them

nnnope! this just feels like you're being an asshole, actually, since you're specifically going out of your way to Tell me you're ignoring the fact that i do this in natdex order. miraidon will come around when miraidon comes around. we're in generation 9. it'll be near the end of the pokédex—the end of the blog, actually. you can survive until then

THIS IS fair. a lot of the regional birds (pidgey, starly, rookidee, fletchling, pikipek) do have three-stager evos, but plenty of others (taillow, pidove, wingull, hoothoot) only have two-stager evos like wattrel. if anything, wattrel rounds out the collection of two-stager birds. in design, sure, it can feel like this—but doesn't swellow, too, if you think about it?

HELL yeah. sandaconda is pretty underrated, i feel like. i don't see folks talk about it very often—i've mentioned it before and been met with confused looks—even to other pokémon fans. it's strange, but some pokémon just don't get a lot of attention, i feel. sandaconda: here is your attention

i've managed to give one away. we're getting there

choosing to believe you on this because i've already deleted rabsca's model and i would like to not look at it anymore. but this is cool, if true. what the hell are they doing in there…

agreed about rellor. rellor haters unite

toed is cool… i don't get the kilowattrel joke i'm sorry. if it's about the 8/10 rating, that is

you rated tadbulb! here it is :)

[puppetmaster13u]

So thinkin about This Prompt and the reblogs people have done. So we all agree that Damian would definitely snatch at least a pair of every single pokemon like, ever, seeing as Bruce isn't there to tell him no and Danny is down for letting him do so as his new best friend.

But what pokemon would they have as their teams or grab specifically for their friends? Well here's just some ideas, though I am always open for ideas or your own takes.

Danny’s Pokemon:    Battle: Gengar Snorlax Chandelure Steelix Charcadet Drakloak   Contests:  Polteageist Hisui Zoroark Lapras Garchomp Joltik Giratina

Hihi!

I'm Illanero! I'm a Zorua! But now I'm also a trainer! I come from a place reallyreallyreally far away! But now I'm here! I use any pronouns, but use xe/xem the most!

My teams are:

Hoenn: - Apoyime the Sceptile - Mavy the Linoone - Tilio the Swellow - Serald the Aggron - Raga the Flygon

Alola: - Jander the Popplio - Pavil the Pikipek

Kanto: - Burhalla the Charizard - Linne the Pidgeot - Dirir the Dugtrio - Voivick the Vaporeon - Darnod the Dragonite

Galar: - Davulo the Drizzile - Melva the Corvisquire - Swilno the Thievul - Mintar the Minccino - Lazoss the Slowpoke - Kuufo the Kubfu - Litou the Growlithe

Kalos: - Mulbo the Delphox - Igailba the Talonflame - Boler the Venusaur - Cossupa the Furfrou - Lurolin the Lucario - Hidlan the Lapras - Flira the Floette

Unova: - Arbaquo the Samurott - Minro the Simisear - Poliner the Unfezant - Minrir the Cinccino - Daria the Sawsbuck - Rilia the Excadrill

Sinnoh: - Tawno the Grotle - Bleu the Bidoof - Starlow the Staravia - Shaloa the Shinx

Johto: - Acacia the Meganium - Niko the Furret - Marla the Ampharos - Splind the Gyarados

I'm only champion of Hoenn, Kalos, and Kanto so far, but I'm gonna be champion of ALL the regions!

I also tried reviving two fossils in Galar, but it went wrong and it only made one Pokemon. Their name is Hieuma, and they're an Archen-Amaura. I'll be transcribing stuff they want to say sometimes, in blue text!

Hello, Bench here again with another blog! This time a protagonist blog!

Illanero here will be going through the events of most of the mainline Pokemon games, as well as a few non-mainline ones!

This is tied to my mainline marathon, where I try to beat most of the mainline Pokemon games for the first time. I made this blog to try to help me keep focused on it!

Completed games: - Emerald - X - Firered - Black

In progress games: - Sun - Shield + DLC - Violet + DLC - Platinum - Soulsilver

Yet to start: - Colosseum - XD - Black 2 - Alpha Sapphire - Ultra Moon - Legends Arceus - New Snap

Pelipper mail and derivatives are on! Magic anons are off! Sapient Pokemon are encouraged, as this is one!

Also, no NSFW stuff. Illanero is both a Pokemon and a minor.

I hope you enjoy!

Could you review the taillow line?

(This is the last review request in my inbox right now. You guys know the drill, now's the time to send if you have anything you want reviewed.)

I find it interesting that when people talk about Pokemon that are literally just animals, they always bring up Seel and not Taillow here, which is literally a Barn Swallow. How literally, you may ask? This literally:

The red around the face and breast, the black body, the white underbelly, the split tails—even the shiny is based off of the iridescent green coloration of some swallows. There's not a single twist or visually interesting thing here—it's just a Barn Swallow. Don't get me wrong, Taillow does look just as pretty as the actual bird does, and there's nothing wrong with it from a visual standpoint, but man, GameFreak were not trying very hard with this one.

Swellow is also Literally a Barn Swallow, right down to the name, though at least it tries to add a few small changes—the tails now have red tips, there's a black V-shaped breast marking that looks pretty nice, and there's a few swished-back feathers behind the head. It's a bit more interesting than Taillow in that regard, but ultimately it doesn't change quite enough to really be all that memorable. It's nicely designed and pleasing to look at, if nothing else.

I think this line could use something in the future—it's one of the more forgotten early-route bird 'mons out there, and it's only two stages to boot. The first option would be to do regionals, as those are often a good chance for GameFreak to "spice up" a design. Not entirely sure what you could do with these guys, but the tails are fairly distinct—maybe they could become psychic or fairy-types based on the nekomata or something.

The other option would be to add an evolution. Going back to the tails thing, I think an ideal place to start with an evo would be either the Marvelous Spatuletail Hummingbird or the Ribbon-Tailed Astrapia, both of which are ridiculous in their own special ways:

The line as-is looks good and isn't a bad start—I could easily see a really cool-looking and unique evo coming from these two that fits the line but has more of a concept, or at least more striking visuals. As-is, these guys are fine if you really, really like Barn Swallows.
