hello tumblr user kiththecat with oshawott pfp do you,, do you have opinions on pokemon teams/partners for clownzy,,

im so sorry i took this way further than you probably thought i would but to be fair pokemon is like my oldest, biggest special little interest so this quickly went from a silly little thing to oh i guess i have an au now. say goodbye to ajwiaap this is all im thinking about now

i think the beautiful thing when it comes to assigning characters pokemon is that every single pokemon could make it. every single pokemon has their own unique personality. so this isn’t “this fits their vibes” as much as it is “woops i accidentally made up team dynamics and personalities for these pokemon and now im attached” 

hfdjskhfdkfdhs maybe these choices are all atrocious but here we go

my thoughts for branzy is that he’s a researcher of a kind, probably deeply fascinated with some more morally dubious sciences, probably ends up getting hired by evil groups but he’s funded so what does he care

also these are all listed in no particular order

Slowking

i just think it’d be funny. entry says that slowking is ultra intelligent but no one understands it so now i'm imagining branzy with a slowking just nodding and going “yes, this absolutely makes sense” but it just doesn’t. and because its extremely intelligent and composed it kinda sees branzy as its little guy

Metagross

same as with slowking. an intelligent and extremely powerful pokemon has adopted this kinda unlucky but eccentric researcher. it’s not interested in fighting it just wants branzy to Not Fall Into A Cave when researching or something. it’s always ready to psychically carry him away from danger like an unruly child. metagross would dislike clown at first but would warm up to him because they’re both protective of branzy. and clown would be like “HOW do you have an untrained metagross???” because this is one of the hardest pokemon to capture and keep because of how smart they are so it’s like. extremely impressive. and branzy’s like “we’re besties!” but that’s his babysitter

Tinkaton

innocent looking queen with a destructive nature. horrible attitude. just a violent little freak and if she ever inconveniences anyone branzy is like “what no that doesn’t sound like my tinkaton must’ve been something else” and the crime in question has a big hammer-sized hole in it. if left alone these two would probably cause more harm than good. best battler of the team

Porygon-Z

cute but something went wrong in its design very branzycraft to me. everyone would be like “hey, so there’s something terrible wrong with this pokemon” and branzy would be like “no! look how cute it is :D”. it gets very distressed if its away from him

Lampent

OKAY LISTEN. this would just be really funny. like one pokedex entry says “It hangs around hospitals waiting for people to pass on.” and “Once it finds someone whose death is near, it will trail quietly after them.” so my idea is that there’s this lampent who’s been following branzy around literally his entire life because it looks like he’s going to die in a stupid accident but he just. keeps. living. and branzy never realises that it has any ill intentions he thinks they’re best friends and finds lampents light very helpful when exploring in the dark. at some point branzy almost actually dies and its like so distressed about it because its gotten attached

that’s all i got for him... for now.

clown would be a very very strong trainer, a champion most likely. he has a reputation for being absolutely ruthless in battle and he had no trouble winning whatever league he won. he does work that’s kinda morally grey, but in the way where he’ll rather kill a poacher than imprison them.

Gengar (Mega)

the grin. also literally every pokedex entry is so clown. also he’d have a mega stone for it and it’s generally the scariest thing in the world. has most likely killed a lot of people but clown is like “wouldn’t hurt a fly ^-^” also gengar would absolutely love branzy (it recognises him as a devious and harmful soul) it’d be like “this is my guy now” and clown would feel so betrayed.

Hydreigon

cannot be clown without a scary strong pokemon. and okay so every single entry for this one says that it thinks only of destruction. so my idea is that clown has a hydreigon but but that he’s raised and/or trained it well and it respects him so they have like this mutual need for destruction but it’s so calm and controlled that it’s even scarier. also if we all just collectively pretend that the purple-ish colour on hydreigon is red, they have a similar colour scheme:) this and gengar are clowns most well known pokemon and he could probably win a league using only them

Zorua

enjoying the thought of this zorua being an extremely powerful shapeshifter who almost always is in another form. like to the point where most people aren’t even aware that clown has a zorua. it’s not the best battler but it’s amazing at stealth missions. its one of the older pokemon of the team but it hasn’t evolved because it likes sitting on top of clowns head or his shoulders. it revealed its true form to branzy very quickly and while branzy didn’t think anything big of it, probably just going “oh my gosh that’s amazing!” clown had an internal crisis about it

Furfrou

OKAY HEAR ME OUT HERE. a shiny furfrou. his dramatic ass WOULD have one. and it’d have a special trim that matches him. im thinking something like the dandy trim but instead of green additions to the fur it’s red. this furfrou would be the biggest diva in the world. clown saved it from poachers and it took long for trust to be formed but after it did it was ride or die. what if it was kinda lazy too, like it just wanted to chill but its trainer is clown so its strong because he trains them well but when battling it looks so disinterested that it comes across as weak but when it locks in, it’s deadly. if anything happens to its trim, it’s over for the perpetrator. clown grooms it personally and very softly but this is a rare sight.

Lilligant

i love the thought of him having a weak looking pokemon but it’s the secret ace of the team. people who don’t know clown would be like “that’s it lmao?” if he brought it out in battle but everyone who’s battled him will be like “well, it was fun while it lasted” like this one lilligant is known for taking down the most powerful of pokemon. also continuing the theme of having a pokemon that actually requires high maintenance to be happy, lilligant has many entries that say the flower on their head will wilt if not cared for properly. i think it’d be pretty neat if everyone had this idea that clown was ruthless as a trainer, but that something as subtle as his lilligant having a beautiful flower actually shows how kind he is to his team

Mr. Rime

DOES ANYONE SEE MY VISION. it’d be the weird grandpa of the team. kinda the same situation as lilligant where it doesn’t fit clown’s scary vibes but it’s a terrifying opponent anyway. the pokedex describes it’s tap dancing as “graceful” and i can think of another person who looks like a thing that’s associated with fun but is actually quite deadly so

that’s it… for now. rest assured i’ll probably be thinking about this a lot. also there are so many pokemon i thought about. this was hours of reading pokedex entries and repeatedly scrolling through the pokedex😭😭😭😭i literally blinked and two hours had passed

bonus notes ? ideas ?

wild pokemon really like branzy. he’s very creature and he has a good-hearted demeanour that makes everyone let their guards down (literally just canon).

wild pokemon respect clown. his presence, though not comforting, makes them steer clear of him. in a way they see him as one of their own more than a human.

if i were to attach a mythical or legendary to each of them. mew for branzy and meloetta for clown. HEAR ME OUT.

branzy has a lot of random pokemon just following him around when he’s on expeditions, so he doesn’t notice that there’s actually a mew shapeshifting into wild pokemon and following him around all over. it just likes his vibe.

as for meloetta. more of a stretch but just with clown’s tendency to getting attached to a certain type of people, like ros and branzy, then i think meloetta could embody the same things as they do. and now im just straight up making up characterisation on meloetta that’s dubiously based on the anime but i imagine that meloetta loves to battle, hence why it has a literal battleform, but that it has had no opportunity to fight in the modern way or feel that connection with a trainer, so every so often it will join clown in whatever he’s doing and be like “battle with me” and he’ll be like “aight”

ALSO DOES ANYONE REMEMBER TOBIAS? THE GUY WHO RANDOMLY HAD A DARKRAI IN THE ANIME. he gives clown vibes to me. almost gave clown a darkrai. almost gave him many ultra strong pokemon but i thought it’d be funnier to go a bit weird with it

also there are SO many rumours about clown. most of them being that he has signed a deal with darkrai, giratina, or yveltal. maybe he has. who knows.

im so sorry this is straight up insanity😔😔 ill see myself out
