ONLY READ THIS AFTER YOU WATCHED ALL SEASON 1 OF NOCTURNE!!!!!

I am SO normal about the ending of Nocturne season 1 (lies). 😀 AAAAAAAAAAAaaAaAaAaaa

*Insert that quote with "Tress will still grow, birds will still sing, but you won't be here and you won't be here" that another post reminded me of.*

Okay, so theory time now!! I choose to believe the character redesign they made for Alucard was way more deliberate than the simple surface level "Let's make him look even closer to his SOTN game counterpart!". Don't get me wrong, I actually love both of his series designs, which is why I have to look into the second one with minutious detail now, sorry.

So my theory is: Since Alucard is half vampire and vampires need blood to live => Alucard would require blood. The question is, in what capacity not drinking blood affects him? I don't think it kills him, since it can't, but I believe it keeps him from fully thriving. After all, when we saw him in the original series, he had just woken up from a year long slumber in which blood was pumped into him, probably for healing or maintenance purposes (or both!). So it'd be safe to assume that blood has him thriving.

The reason why not consuming blood didn't really affect him in the OG series? See above reason, I think he was still burning thru that boost he already accumulated in that one year.

So, because he made a deliberate choice to put the human part of himself first due to Lisa's influence (aside for the moment when he got traumatized and went full Dracula-Trevor hybrid bad coping mechanisms), he probably didn't wish to go back to drinking blood after the epilogue of Castlevania, maybe aside from consenting situations, wink wink, nudge nudge. Definitely do not imagine Sypha and Trevor having to watch as life drained from his features the same way Alucard was watching life drain from their bodies thru aging <3!

Fast forward 300 years, the man wakes up white as a sheet because the blood was the thing that, ironically enough, kept his appearence more human. Do I think the deaths of beloved Sypha and Trevor (and Greta) also had an impact on him and his recent looks? Absolutely!

There was also that theory on tumblr about his hair turning an off-white because his physical body "aged" in an unusual way and now he outlived his human side with a lot of years, which is why more Dracula like features emerged.

TL;DR: Alucard is probably old, depressed and hasn't had a proper vampire drink in 300 years, which is why he's white as fuck.

Honestly would be very cool if he started drinking vampire blood in season 2, JUST SAYING. Nocturne writers, I'm watching u, I know u can find a reason for this to happen. Some bonkers dhampir privileges.

omg okay I just got to this and I had to reread this. was it stated that alucard specifically needed blood for sustenance?

you know this theory is actually really interesting because his lack of coloring has to be intentional right? he’ll never age beyond how he is now but he somehow looks older and younger at the want time.

that’s interesting though!

Now this is a sexy final boss. I've always liked the mech designs in this series and how they slowly edged more toward mechanical divinity, which this is kind of a culmination of.

After 5 long games, our boy Rean finally learned not to be such a self-sacrificial dumbass!!! We truly love to see it. All my man ever wanted to do was fish, practice sword and relax in hot springs, yet life turned him into a Jrpg protagonist. But now he can finally relax and become a boring dad/history professor like he was destined to be.

(THEATER PROFESSOR CROW THEATER PROFESSOR CROW AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!! <3<3&lt;3<3<3)

Man what a great game. It wrapped a neat little bow on the Crossbell and Cold Steel sagas and was pretty much everything I wanted, a really cool swan song for all these characters I love.

There's still the postgame, but I'm already stoked with what we got out of this game. Now to wait for Kuro to get localized.

Hi! Just finished my second reread of Dream Come True and AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA its amazing! You could definitely be a published author with the skills you have. I'm literally writing this just so i can point out not everything i liked because that would be just me copying the entire fic link but the things i liked the most

-i love how the vessels each have their own distinct and concrete personality, motives, and moment to shine. It would've been easy to just make them mostly the same and fight them at once, but you didnt, and i love that!

-carol. i love how you write carol. a lot of fics, especially trans-noelle suselle fics, make carol a straight up villain. no hate to tension points, but your take on carol is a lot more complex and nuanced than theirs. of course she's going through a lot, she lost her daughter and is on the brink of losing her husband and now her remaining daughters throwing herself into all this danger

-dess not knowing how to fit herself into the light world after growing up isolated from everyone and ruling a kingdom is a really good arc for her

-while we're on the subject of holidays, you even give rudy more depth. hes not a perfect parent, he's hiding his problems just like carol, though through laughter and smiles rather than icy detachment.

-bruh you gave almost everyone a character arc. thats a real tough challenge for such a densely packed cast, and a popular cast as well. and each arc is literally spot on

-apparently ralsei being kris' headband is popular fanon but i first heard about it though dream come true and it just makes too much sense

-i love red and i love their relationship with kris. i love the part where ralsei offers kris the chance to get their soul back and they refuse, even though red wants to. (do kinda wish they were a little meaner because kris could do Epic Amounts of Trolling now that they're dating berdly but alas red is kindness so that will never happen)

-love all the little snowgrave references, especially ambitions "you know what i would do with that power?" speech.

-little detail but i love how in the medieval flashbacks they speak in funny medieval talk

-the fact that you snuck in a "based? based on what?" joke in the middle of the fucking apocalypse

-no hate to suselle but krerdly is my favorite deltarune ship and you snuck them in at the end in the best way possible

usually my taste in deltarune fics (and fics in general) is fluffy slice of life hometown drama, and you fucking got me. i went "ooh suselle teehee" with dare to dream and stealing kisses and now theres the angel and gaster and dess and the bunker and i loved it. 20/10. holy shit this went on much longer than i thought it would

Waaaa thank you so much for the kind words!! I’m so glad you enjoyed the series! I put a lot of love into it and I’m always happy when I see that pay off in people’s experiences. This made my day :D

Adoration

Part Four of the Science Gossip series This series is darker than my a lot of my other writing, so if any of these topics are upsetting to your, please avoid it!

Rating: T+ Pairing: Valdemar/Valerius WC: 6424 broken into two chapters

Content warnings: discussions of familial death, death of a partner (Lucio lol), descriptions of plague/illnesses, frank discussion of medieval biology, references to gore/anatomy, and overall pretty heavy existential discussion on mortality.   Summary: Valdemar is very eager to speak with Valerius again; they find that they are growing more and more interested in him since their last "failed" meeting. Valerius is finding it harder and harder to keep away from them, despite his hurt pride. After a lengthy discussion of fears and mortality, Valdemar offers to teach Valerius all they know of the plague in an attempt to ease his anxiety. Truly, it is more for their own amusement than his wellbeing. A/N: IM BACK ON MY BULL BABYYYY I missed writing these disasters, and I’m back on my Valdemar simp kick lmao During my hiatus, I further outlined exactly where I want this series to go, and between OC + Tasya/Val content, I plan on working and finishing this series heheh Undercut is a preview, but the entire fic is up through the AO3 link in the title!

I also feel like I should make note of this because a lot of ✨discourse✨ has come up between me updating chapters: this isn’t a romantic relationship and Valdemar’s motivations are not sexual in nature. I state this pretty explicitly in other chapters. That being said, the devs have clearly shown Valdemar is an option for some form of partnership, and that is what this series is meant to be exploring! If you are uncomfortable with Valdemar in any pairing scenario, please avoid and maybe just block me/ my tag in general (with peace and love, of course💖) OK everyone else, enjoy lmao

Valdemar could not have predicted how… good things were slowly becoming. A part of them ached at the idea of Valerius skittering away from them entirely after the nightmare incident; he was so ready to flee from them right then and there, his emotions too raw, too genuine. The idea of letting him leave only for him to revert back to “normal”, back to how he was before Lucio’s death, nagged at them. Things were just getting so interesting— Valerius was just getting so interesting. They were unsure if they would find an adequate replacement for some time should he choose to end whatever partnership was beginning to blossom.

But if there was one thing Valdemar was beginning to count on, it was that Valerius hardly disappointed them. Not anymore. He had written a lengthy letter to them fairly quickly, all things considered. Valdemar noted each jittery letter, each subtle smudged ink place in haste. Normally, Valerius’s letters were pristine, his penmanship impeccable. They were sure it was drilled into his hands to the tune of a ruler or cane. Absently, they wondered if he thought back to the sting with every small error he made. Did it excite him or fill him with dread? Either way, it only made his words all the more endearing, all the more sincere.

He had both thanked them profusely and apologized frantically. Still so ashamed at his many outbursts, he had assured them that he would never put them through a display such as that again. He emphasized that they had nothing to worry about, that he would have it all settled from here on out. They severely doubted that— no, they severely hoped that would not be the case. Of course, Valdemar would never say such things, not out loud to him.

“ Please, you needn’t worry about me behaving in such poor taste at your estate from here on out. I hope I have not tainted whatever companionship we have only started to sow.”

The “C” in companionship had a large splatter of black ink as if Valerius hesitated too long to write the word out. They pictured him, trembling, holding the tip of his quill to the paper. Fretting over if he was overstepping, if this would anger them, if he would only hypothetically annoy them more. Never had they pictured the man to worry so much; he carried himself with the air of haughty nonchalance that all noblemen did, always sipping from his wine glass, always leering down at whoever he spoke to. Valdemar had assumed he thought everything he did was perfect because it was him doing it. Clearly, though, Valerius had to try very hard to perfect such an act, tried very hard to sell it to those around him. How lucky they were to be allowed to see through it all, to rip the mask off with their teeth.

Valdemar had to meditate before writing back to him. It needed to be perfect; they could not scare him again. Clearly, they needed to be more careful with their wording. They had not considered that Valerius was only used to the mind games of lustful nobles; he had no idea who he was dealing with anymore. It was enough to make Valdemar tremble with an itchy glee. Images of the man twisted in their sheets, screeching, sobbing, burned brightly in their mind. Running from them and running to them all in the same night— it was too much to dwell on too long. It made them ravenous.

Rising from their seat on their balcony, they quickly rushed to dress in proper day clothes. There was no time for any more letters or games; they craved action. They craved directness. They craved him .

Ugh I’m not nearly as excited about the new Life Is Strange or remasters as I wanted to be

The art is like, wrong?

The other games are so painterly looking but True Colors and the remasters have leaned a bit more towards photorealism in a way that just looks kinda... eh to me, like kind of more generic? Like they’re shifting the series’ visual identity and I’m not loving it

And the worst part is everyone else is like “you’re crazy, it’s super minor, it’s not a big deal” and maybe I’m just noticing because I’m an artist and my sister and friends aren’t but aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa it matters to me dammit

I’m also bummed it’s not gonna be episodic, I liked the episodic model! I know the wait times between episodes on 2 were hard but if it’s not a road trip story then that’s not gonna be a problem again so why not? I mean, there was a problem with the model (over the course of the game’s release people built up expectations for what would happen and then when those expectations weren’t met people would get upset and declare the game bad) but it was outweighed by the fun of speculation and memeing and constant consistent flood of fanwork!

Other minor notes:

Where did Steph’s eyebrows go? She had more prominent eyebrows in BtS!

The logo is a fucking travesty!!! IT IS SO BORING!!!!! The other logos all had so much character and did something fun with the “Is”! The original game’s was all sketchy like Max’s journal and had the “Is” in a Polaroid, and BtS’s looked like it was drawn in marker like Chloe’s graffiti and had the “Is” over the anarchy symbol and 2′s was like embroidered and had the “Is” in a patch like the ones on your backpacks and True Colors’ is FUCKING NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!! Did they even hire a graphic designer? I could do a better job and I'm not one! Disgusting! Fix it! Alex likes music? Make it look like it’s on sheet music or some shit! Colors are important? Make it look like it’s watercolor! It takes place in the Rockies? Make it look like a moose! Just do SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Playing Creep on an acoustic guitar is the most basic bitch shit and I’m disappointed, I expected more from this series. Though I do wonder how much they shelled out for the rights LMAO

LiS 1 and 2 both used period accurate music, like, LiS was made in 2015 but takes place in 2013 so it doesn’t use any music from before then, same for LiS2, but BtS, despite taking place in 2010, didn’t use a SINGLE song from 2010 or earlier! The soundtrack was GREAT, to be clear, and one of the things about the game I can’t find much fault with, but I think it was a shame that it didn’t try to keep with that. I really hope this one does, I think it’s going to take place in 2019? So I’d better not hear anything from the last 2 years in there!

To be clear, I’m still totally buying the game and probably the remaster too (which will be the fourth time I’ve bought the first game, RIP my wallet), I’m not writing them off outright, these are just minor gripes I need to get off my chest LOL

[t-citurnity-moved]

HEY TALK ABOUT YOUR LOVES

Ohohohoho.

My thoughts are more or less about the boys, BUT I feel like I also need to provide context because this series has been such a huge part of my life.

So, therefore, let's start at the beginning.

GOD THIS GOT SO LONG AND I AM SO SORRY BUT I HAVE A LOT OF THOTS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I have been part of the fanbase (not gonna say fandom, because that implies I'm active at all in the d//m//c "community" when I absolutely am not) since before 2010. That's 10+ years of enjoyment in this series. 10+ years I've been holding onto my feelings because I wasn't sure if it was right to love fictional characters. I still wrote and roleplayed with other people who were also in the fanbase, because... well, writing OC / Canon at the time was the closest anyone could get to saying "I want to date this character and not be judged." (But we all know that even then, if the OC wasn't written a specific way then they'd be considered a sue / stu; don't even get me started there.)

I fell in love with Dante first. He was the main character up until Nero starred in D//M//C4! So why wouldn't I love him? The first piece of media in which I really broke into the series was the anime and that's only because I really loved anime at the time (now not so much, mostly because I don't have attention span, etc). And boy... ohoho boy. I loved him even more. I think it's partly because that was my first real look into the series that I love D//M//C2 so much, because I'm more inclined toward the ""edgy"" side of Dante; wacky wahoo pizza man is cool and all, but I also love retrospective Dante who's a bit serious. Doesn't mean he's not the same Dante, because he absolutely is. But I hate how the fanbase portrays him sometimes. (The same fanbase that hates D//M//C2 and probably hates the reboot too, BUT I'LL TOUCH UPON THAT IN A MOMENT.)

The fact that Dante can be a serious person when he needs to be (or even if he's like... killed his brother several times and is therefore entering into a depressive state because who tf wouldn't) seems lost on a lot of people and it makes me sad. Because when I first really started branching into the fandom, I was (and still am) the same way... I just feel like 2Dante and Anime Dante are just... more relatable? So I lean toward them more than anything because I can understand them more? Because I too have depression and struggle with it? (By no means am I saying that 4/5 Dante don't have depression, I just think at that point he deals with it differently. I have a lot of headcanon there and that in and of itself is a whole ass different discussion. I also think discovering that Nero is Vergil's son / his nephew also helps him handle his depression as well, because "wow... at least I still have some part of Vergil left, even if it is only his kid" plays a bit role in how Dante recovers, BUT THAT'S JUST WHAT I THINK.)

I even think 3Dante has some level of depression going on, even thouh that's the start of the series and it doesn't really start going downhill until after those events. I mean, losing his mother at a young age and also thinking he lost Vergil until, SURPRISE SURPRISE, Vergil invites him to a "bash" which is really just some ploy to gain power? I just think at that point, it's manageable for him; he doesn't struggle with it nearly as much as he does in 2 + Anime.  That being said, the fact that he's so """wacky wahoo""" also leads me to conclusion that, even if it is "manageable," he does still struggle at times and I feel probably overwhelms him at times, so he tries to manage BY being upbeat about things. Which, anyone who has depression knows, is so fucking difficult to do. The fact that Dante can keep going despite all this shit going on in his life makes ME feel like I can keep going.

AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON VERGIL AND HIS PROBLEMS. Dude just wanted to be protected and loved.

Actually, LET ME get started on that. Because I have a lot of thots.

Vergil grew up believing their mother chose Dante over him. That she didn't try to save him. That Dante was more important to her than he was. He grew up with this inferiority complex because he didn't know WHY their mother never came to save him. He also grew up thinking he wasn't strong enough to save HER. That's why he actively sought out power, while believing humans were "weak." That's why he manifested this hatred for being half-human. Because he couldn't save his family and, for a long time, he was led to believe his mother didn't care for him nearly as much as she cared for Dante (IE. "saving" Dante, but not Vergil).

Vergil's thirst for power is just misdirected feelings toward his family. He should've been mad at demons for attacking them in the first place, but because he grew up believing what he did, it became hatred toward humans instead. That's why he hated Dante, too. In reality, I don't think he really "hates" Dante, just feels severely inferior (which he veils by """having""" a superiority complex instead of the opposite, which he actually has). I think he just had a lot of conflicted emotions that he was never able to work through. Which is why I love the idea that he and Dante, post-D//M//C5 could reconcile at some point. Because neither of them really hated each other, they just had conflicting viewpoints due to one event that go thrown out of proportion somewhere along the way. Vergil just wanted what Dante had, which he perceived as the love of their mother, because she "chose" to save Dante instead of him. In reality, she tried to go after Vergil too, but simply didn't survive. Vergil was entirely unaware of this, so obviously he'd be upset. It's the crux of all his problems.

Vergil HIMSELF even theorises what would happen if they switched places that day! He wonders what would happen if he and Dante's lives were swapped! (Which, TBH, would be a pretty neat AU, heheheheh.) Legit! "If our positions were switched... would I have your life? And you mine?" DUDE WANTED TO KNOW!!! He wanted to know what it was like to BE Dante, to be LOVED, to be PROTECTED by the ONE PERSON they had in their lives at the time! They only had their mother, so OF COURSE Vergil would be upset due to the circumstances! HE JUST WANTED TO BE PROTECTED AND LOVED.

3Vergil doesn't show much of this side of him, because he's just angry and going through a lot and he JUST wanted to be powerful enough that no one could hurt him any more. He would NEVER say this, but dude....... You cannot convince me this dude just wanted to be powerful to keep himself safe. To feel like he finally would've had enough power to protect the people he loves AND himself. He just didn't want to be hurt again. This is, by NO MEANS, an excuse for his actions. It's an explanation. His actions shouldn't be excused because of his ~ f e e l i n g s ~, but I firmly believe that post-D//M//C5, he could redeem himself for these actions. For everything he's done, he can realise it's wrong. He can grow to be a better person. He can reconcile with Dante and even be a good father to Nero. He can be better and I want to believe that he WOULD be better. After everything V went through, discovering that he doesn't really want to be the person he used to, Vergil can change and be better.

OOFIES. This has gone on long, BUT I STILL HAVE THOUGHTS ABOUT THE REBOOT BOYS THAT I STRUGGLE TO PUT INTO WORDS, SO BEAR WITH ME IF THIS SEEMS STUPID OR GARBLED.

Context for the reboot: It's basically a remake of the series that got poor reception because people struggle to accept change. :) I will not debate this and anyone who wants to come at me can eat my socks.

Dante 2.0, like original Dante, HAS PROBLEMS. He's an edgy punk bitch who has problems and he's so ugly I love him.

This dude went his entire life struggling with his identity as someone "human." At one point, he was so convinced he didn't have a heart that he ripped open his own chest to see if he did. Yeah. Dude has issues. But it's ok, because in game, he legitimately sets aside his own issues with people to save humanity. Dude's got such BDE.

People hate him, but I feel like they fail to realise what the hell he's been through. He's been through just as much shit as original Dante. Same goes for Vergil 2.0. These boys have been through SO MUCH, but people don't see that because "Nooo!! You can't just remake the series!!!" Meanwhile I'm like "hehe handsome nephilim boys go brrr."

I literally cannot begin to explain the amount of hate people have for the reboot and it makes me sad, because... like.... y'all.... don't realise... these dudes... went through so much shit..... and yeah... I get it... remake bad, original good, but dude.... my dude.... my bro.... you do not have to hate it that much.... calm down, it's just a video game....

My dude Dante grew up in the system because the foster homes and shit he got placed in were run by demons!!! So he'd lash out at them!!! He was violent because demons suck!! They killed his mom and enslaved his dad!!! Imagine!!! Being surprised by that!!! When you know what he went through!!! Damn, couldn't be me!!!

Vergil went through some shit too!!! Like!!! Yeah, he was adopted into a rich family and lived a pretty cushy life, but fact of the matter is!!! Their parents died and they had their memories WIPED when they were kids!!! Imagine!!! The distraught!!! When he (since he found out who he was long before Dante did) realised what had happened!!! When he remembered!! When he discovered he wasn't human!! My dude founded a whole ass group of demon hunting hactivists because he knew demons sucked and wanted to make the world a better place. It wasn't until after Mundus (big stinky demon man) died that he started realising how frail humans could be and decided to be an asshole about it.

I'm so sad that there will never be any more about the reboot, because fans decided to be assholes about it. I'm so sad that we'll never learn more about what happened to those boys. I'm so sad that we'll never be able to see whether they reconcile or even have the opportunity to.

Alas, I have to rely on heavy headcanon and personal re-write of the story to fix canon instead. :<

My Opinion on;

Character in general: I LOVE OUMA-KUN HES IN MY TOP 5 FAVORITE CHARACTERS IN THE ENTIRE DR SERIES hes so interesting and has such an adorable design and hes really fun to try and decode like skjdfnjsd he lies a lot but its nice to try and figure out what he actually means and what hes actually trying to say and tbh n.drv3 would not be a fun game without him dsfjnjdfd he causes a lot of trouble but if u actually play the game hes not? some evil person who wants to kill everyone for the fun of it hes actually more than just his talent yknow. hes a little cute purple gay liar and i will protect the smol troll

How they play them: i trust jasz with ouma ™ OKAY BUT LIKE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I LOVE JASZ’S HEADCANONS ESPECIALLY THE HOW DICE FORMED ONE ITS MY FAVORITE ITS CUTE AND SAD I WOULD DIE FOR JASZ’S OUMA especially pre-game ouma protect him???? ouma-kun go hug and kiss saihara im so sdkfjnjsdns u put a lot of care and heart into ouma and u portray ouma v well specially the liar liar and playful side of him i cant wait to see the metas and development u have planned for him im excite

The Mun: before i like. actually met u michael talked about u. it was some gay shit but i had the general idea that youre pretty chill and cool and nice skdfnkjsd and then i actually started talking to u in the chat and im just ‘wow jasz is just as a gay meme as michael said he is’ JDFNSDNFKJS i can talk to you w/o a lot of fear ill admit im a little intimidated by u bc im a shy baby thats afraid of everyone at first but skdfjsdfs i like u ur cute and gay and look like u have a secret stash of memes to share FNJDFNGKDF i hope we become better friends in the near future i would love to get to know u better

Who's That Pokémon? We Rate 9 of Detective Pikachu's Monster Makeovers!

At last, Detective Pikachu is out in the US! Now we can see our favorite fluffy ball of electricity test his deductive powers in the first-ever live-action Pokémon film. But, as we've seen, he's not the only video game critter in this film.

  Ryme City is full of Pokémon from all across the generations, from Snorlaxes to Snubbulls. Spotting them all in the trailers and ads alone has been an adventure—so much so that when we decided to take a closer look at the Pokémon featured in the film, we knew there was no way we were going to catch them all! So we picked nine prominent 'mons who show up in the movie and pitted them against their earlier versions.

  How close did the film iterations get? We think they're pretty good as a whole, but we're rating them one by one below. How do our insights fare against yours? Any others you think nailed it? Let us know in the comments!

     So, without further ado, let's get this Poké-party started!

  Charizard

  The final form of Gen I starter Charmander (at least until the Mega X and Y versions rolled around), Charizard has always been a force to be reckoned with. Various Pokédex entries tell us all the things that make its searing fire even hotter: its bond with its trainer, its mood, and whether or not it's been through especially difficult battles.

  It looks like Detective Pikachu's Charizard is just as much of a beast as its predecessors, with the added detail of reptilian scales and many more tiny teeth than its usually visible four. The progression seems like a natural one design-wise, and there was never any question who this brute was when he first appeared in the trailers.

  Verdict: A mighty lizard indeed.

  Psyduck

  When we were kids, Psyduck was hilarious. As adults, Psyduck is a mood. Seriously, if I were confused all the time and had a constant headache, I wouldn't want to clear a path for a bunch of ten-year-olds, either.

  Movie Psyduck has gotten a bit of attention in the trailers as Pikachu's sidekick, requiring smooth elevator music on car trips so its head doesn't explode and generally being in the way. So we've gotten to see a bit of this particular critter in action. And... yep. Psyduck definitelly looks like a duck with a migraine, from the ruffled anxiety feathers to the beady, exhausted eyes. Psy-ai-ai.

  Verdict: Get this poor kid some Excedrin, I can feel the migraine from here.

  Flareon

  Eevees and their eeveelutions have one major job in the Pokémon world: be cute. Well, and have specific skill sets that work wonders in battle, but "be cute" is the primary one. Jolteon? Cute zappy boy. Leafeon? Cute leafy boy.

  So all we need from Flareon is a cute fiery boy. Not sure about they eyes yet—maybe they'll chill out once its eeveelution is over—but the rest of the critter looks extremely fluffy and huggable. Which, again, is pretty much all we ask of an Eevee.

  Verdict: Not sure about the eyes, but would still pet.

  Jigglypuff

  Speaking of a Mood, here's this little karaoke star.

  If you've watched the Pokémon anime, you know all too well that this weird little creampuff's temper is heavily reliant on whether or not you stay awake through its performance. But considering one of its skills is singing opponents to sleep, your odds aren't good... and it looks like the movie's Jigglypuff has that same microphone/marker from the anime, so that dude napping nearby can probably expect to wake up to a scribbled-on face.

  Jigglypuff is our first reminder on this list that Pokémon are weird. Some of them are just downright unsettling. Jigglypuff may be a pink fluffy sphere, but it inflates. Like, inflates. And gets super passive-aggressive. So the Ryme City version may look a little creepier than the anime one, but we're calling that completely understandable.

  Verdict: A good round weird child.

  Mewtwo

  Whoa. This Legendary turned out looking super cool.

  Mewtwo's almost alien look brought a dose of sci-fi to the Pokémon world. Where most of its creatures can be realted to something of this world, this big guy is unmatched... well, almost. There's those Mega-Evolutions to reckon with, after all.

He loooks awesome in Detective Pikachu, sporting those familiar determined eyes and almost amphibian-looking hands. Plus, in the midst of the Pro-Fluffy/Anti-Fluffy Pokémon Discourse, the choice to make him alien smooth was a no-brainer. We can't wait to see what kind of trouble he causes.

  Verdict: He's back and as cool as ever!

  Lickitung

  Oh, yikes. Oh, big yikes.

  Usually when a CG creature looks uncanny and slightly terrifying in a film, it's not on purpose. But this interpretation of Lickitung is pretty much exactly what it's supposed to be, and that just happens to be uncanny and slightly terrifying. From its massive human-looking tongue to its beady little eyes to that bald pink turtle... thing... face.

  Congratulations, movie. You nailed it. And it's horrifying.

  Verdict: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Mr. Mime

  Can we all just agree on one thing going forward? Mr. Mime is, like, a guy. That's an actual small dude sitting there. Look at him. He's just a small, weird-looking dude. And to the movie's credit, it looks like they just went along with that briefing.

  His Pokédex entry has two major points about him. The first is that he's really good at mime, which we can guess from the name. The second is that, if you interrupt him in the middle of a bit, he'll slap you. Guys, this is just a small, angry mime pretending to be a Pokémon so he can beat people up. Why is no one bringing this up?

  Wait, what was I talking about? Oh, right. He looks spot on in the movie.

  Verdict: Tiny angry man.

  Ludicolo

  To behind-the-times Pokémon fans, this little dude probably looked like Psyduck in deep cover when it first showed up in the trailer. But that's Gen III's Ludicolo, a sort of duck/pineapple thing that loves to dance. Known as the "Carefree Pokémon," it's also been known to appear when laughing children are near.

  Its Grass/Water origins are evident in the way the film has chosen to interpret the brim of its hat, making it look especially leafy. The choice to render the pineapple-shaped beard as—well—a beard is pretty interesting, too. The top of the hat also goes with full pineapple leaves, driving the look home.

  Verdict: Creative and a little crazy. We hope Ludicolo is having a nice day.

  Pikachu

  We can't close out this list without addressing the movie's star, Detective Pikachu himself! Since Detective Pikachu is a specific member of his species, we went ahead and made comparison images for both hat and no-hat iterations.

  Then again, reference pictues almost aren't necessary; Pikachu has become one of the world's most recognizable anime and video game characters. The zappy rodent is a mascot for the brand, and one of Nintendo's most popular characters. There's been a bit of Pro-Fluffy/Anti-Fluffy debate online since the reveal, though—for the record, the author is definitely Pro-Fluffy, since it mimics that look a lot of pudgy real-world rodents have of wearing puffy pantaloons over their tiny legs.

  Whether or not you like the fluff, the little star is undeniably Pikachu through and through. He's got the zigzaggy tail, the emotive ears, and those teeny-tiny little paws. Even having the voice of actual Deadpool doesn't compromise the cuteness. As an added bonus, our little detective looks extra adorable when attempting to navigate a giant coffee mug.

  Verdict: We love him. But that's a given.

  How do you feel about the various Pokémon designs in the film? Any you think deserve a shout-out? Let us know in the comments! And don't forget to check out Detective Pikachu in theaters!
