After the first pilot was rejected, Star Trek was almost completely recast with the exception of Mr Spock (Leonard Nimoy). The first episode of Star Trek aired on September 8, 1966. While The Man Trap was the first episode to air, it was actually the 6th one produced. Supposedly it was chosen as having more action than the other episodes. It was also supposedly one of the least favorites of Leonard Nimoy and William Shattner. The episode took place during 2266 (eleven years after the events of The Cage, which was the original pilot and later recut as The Menagerie). The episode introduced Captain James T Kirk (William Shatner), Dr McCoy (DeForest Kelley), Yeoman Janice Rand (Grace Lee Whitney), Sulu (George Takei), Uhura (Nichelle Nichols), and (off screen) Montgomery Scott (James Doohan).

Recently I discovered this Pokemon trainer maker and, golly, I think I indirectly unlocked a deeper understanding of some beloved characters' personality
Abouts the Pokemon teams choice under the cut (beware of dumdum jokes that drag on by theirself)
Helga Sinclair: Metagross (YEAAGH YEAAAAHGHHHH), Aggron, Magneton, Skarmory, Steelix, Lucario. Steel type driven team because me thinks they perfectly blend with Helga's Aesthetic. They are big, intimidating, mejestic and cool. (hoho, cool...because.. metal hohoh sorry) She would absolutely be a Metagross and Lucario person. Also steel types are my faves👉👈.
John Silver: Ursaring (hehe because he. He-), Ditto (Jelly pinkish pokmn...jelly bubble gum space parrot...), Slowking (Kings must dwell with kings...hah!), Walrein, Munna, Klinklang.
Sarah Hawkins: Blissey, Ambipom, Unfezant, Medicham, Psyduck (Pokemon and trainer would bond in shared drained mental states at times), Blaziken. Given her team being majorly composed of humanoid pokemon they would be great helpers at the Inn!
Captain Amelia: Espeon, Lunatone, Deoxis (BECAUSE SHE -- Captain Frigging Amelia -- is OP), Delcatty, Liepard, Golett.
Mr Arrow: Gigalith, Minior, Unown, Golem, Bronzong, Glameow. With Amelia and Arrow's close relationship, I really like to imagine that one day, the two chosed to trade pokemon in sign of ultimate lasting friendship. Resulting for both teams gaining a single "out of place" motif. (I'm very normal about this I swear)
Dr Facilier: Haunter, Mismagius, Absol, Claydol, Mr. Mime, Dusknoir. GHOST AND DARK TYPE GHOST AND DARK TYPE GHOST-- No one will be able to change my mind. Yes. He IS a Mr. Mime person.
William Cecil Clayton: Venusaur, Carnivine, Hippowdon, Zebstrika, Heracross, Shiftry. I think Clayton as a pokemon trainer would be a pain in the neck at each encounter. Jabbering and pontificate about stealing and selling your pokemon at the best bidder-- *Geting electrocuted, hydro pumped, fire blasted each time Team Rocket Style*
Jane Porter: Infernape, Swablu, Sunflora, Ludicolo, Sudowoodo, Victreebel. It's Sudowoodo and Ludicolo slander in this house. Infernape is the one responsible for sending Clayton scorched and airborne at the end of each pokemon fight.
Commander Rourke: Machamp, Conkeldurr, Toxicroak, Rhyhorn, Tyranitar, Blastoise. Mix and fight types for the menacing man. Just like Helga he absolutely would possess a pseudo-legendary pokemon. In his case, Tyranitar.
Alameda Slim: Chatot Colourful parrot with musical note shaped head? Absolutely Alameda core, Bouffalant ("JUUUUNIOOOOOOOR!!!!"), Tauros, Miltank, Dugtrio, Rapidash.
Bill Sykes: Houndoom (TWO!!!1!!1!!!11!), Sableye, Hitmonlee, Electabuzz (Allusions to his close encounters with high voltage) , Sharpedo (Because ...he..loan shark)

Petition to start using "is X character the Rani?" to mean "are they a pre established character other than who they say they are?", rather than specifically The Rani.
Is Harold Saxon the Rani? Yes
Is Donna the Rani? No
Is Ruth the tour guide the Rani? Yes
Is Dan the Rani? No
Are Rogue and Mrs Flood the Rani? Very possibly
