#my favorite pkmn games of all time

[beasttrash]

happy 15th anniversary HGSS!!

[jomadis]

OBSESSED with my new pkmn OC, designed by the lovely @/Fenbound!! She's a Luxray/Dialga fusion, and Fen made the most gorgeous design!!! Super excited to make more art of them soon!!!

[clefclefairy]

out of curiosity; in replies/tags, tell me what location in pokemon games is one that you "hang out" in, by which I mean visit and spend time in for reasons completely unrelated to gameplay or story. Just a spot where you go to enjoy the music, or admire a certain town design, or nostalgic memories, anything like that.

I've gotta ask: what's your opinion on the Mystical Forest theme from Super? I think it's severely underrated

ARGH thank you for reminding me this track EXISTS it's gotta be one of my favorite in the entire game. i don't know musical terms that well but the notes in threes like at the beginning are just wonderful. i remember really liking it when i played thru psmd (but i liked basically every track quite a lot) but i couldn't remember where it was from. so. thank you for this reminder because it's really really good

(@wingsofachampion) What's it like being a ranger? I heard it's kinda like being part of a rescue team! -Tropius

Rangers go around helping people, Pokémon, and the natural world. Being an Area ranger, I don't do as much conservation as the Rangers with ropes. I go around helping people who submit quests, I rescue people trapped in caves, I calm raging Pokémon, etc.

It's not just something you can sign up for, though. You need to go to an academy or recieve formal training to be a Ranger. The good news is that you're never too old to attend.

To answer the question, it's pretty cool, and I enjoy what I do a lot. It can be pretty dangerous, though, so I wouldn't try to pressure anyone into becoming one.

Captain Skyla

Listening to “Liberation of Gracemeria” (Ace Combat 6) again made me want to share this adult Skyla concept I made. I like to think this was set maybe right after getting off the phone with Ansy, heading out to personally make that express delivery from Kitakami to Nimbasa City.

She’s shown up a couple times in DxP REWRITE (namely, delivering Ansy’s letter to Emmet, & flying him over to Sinnoh with Elesa), mostly because she is my all-time favorite Gym Leader - Flying-type pilot in an airport town, great design & personality, Swanna ace, etc. ✈️

In Ansy’s timeline, she starts off as a teenager learning to fly in BW, then a full-fledged pilot in her 20’s (BW2, as she flew us in game in what looked like a cargo plane). Nowadays, she’s the best pilot in Mistralton City, & maybe brought a Flying Taxi service to Unova, seeing as Blueberry Academy has one:

PS: no worries for subway fans - Flying Taxis can only take a few passengers at a time, & I’m sure there are plenty of folks who prefer to keep their feet on the ground lol.

PPS: I originally was gonna ask what Flying PKMN would be used in mainland Unova, but then the mister sensibly pointed out Braviary (especially since we fly around with its regional variant in Hisui). 🦅

You can call me Lucky because I am not using my real name online

I'm a 14 year old girl and this is my blog to post about my favourite books, shows, movies, and games, but maybe I'll mention a little about my actual life, I don't know.

I'll mostly be posting about my favorite books and games, all of which listed in my blog description, and I will especially be focusing on my favourite game ever, Absolute Destiny. I hope I can make friends with similar interests than me!

OOC SECTION:

Info:

Hello! We all like talking about anti dark and anti ghost sentiment on pkmn irl, but theres very few blogs that actually dislike those types! The few I've seen are all very much meant to be blogs of characters that are Karens or Evil Teams and while those are fun, there are a lot of types of people in the world and I wanted to explore a different kind of person who holds these views and why they might have them.

Lucky lives in a very tight-knit small town community that hates the more supernatural types. It's one of those small towns where most people don't have computers and those that do mostly have super old ones. Like 20 minutes just to open google- never mind searching anything- old. All her video games are old ds games her cousin gave her, and this is basically her first time allowed on the internet and it has been drilled into her that you can't trust anyone or anything online. Remember this while interacting with her.

When she says not to interact if you have a dark, ghost, fairy, or psychic type, I want you to interact and argue with her. She doesn't know what the block button is <3

Any type of blog can interact, but be warned that Lucky does not inherently trust everyone. She has a certain way she thinks about everyone based solely on her community and the games she's played.

Tags:

Lucky probably won't have a full tagging system, BUT I will be acting as if she is actually posting for fandoms she likes! The games and books and stuff she posts about will all be tagged with tags for those media so you can check up on the lore on these made up medias or more pokemon-ified irl medias.

So, for example, information and posts about the fictional game Absolute Destiny will be tagged #Absolute Destiny. This is both for my reference and yours.

Any other tags on her posts are ooc, including the community tags like pkmn irl or trigger tags.

[coochellati]

hi! may i ask how you're doing? we haven't heard from you in a while so i just wanted to check in :)

hi!! thanks for checking in!!!

So yeahhh… I kinda disappeared for like a month. I really should have said something, but I had some major internet social anxiety for a bit. (I did not even open tumblr once in the past month.) I was putting pressure on myself to post regularly, and it wasn’t happening, so I figured I just needed a little break.

It wasn’t exactly planned… It started out with me getting hyperfixated on playing Pokemon during my free time, and that became all I did outside of work. (Specifically, Pokemon Heartgold—my favorite pkmn game.)

I know no one asked for this, but I want to show off my team because I am very proud of them.

Anyway, I have still been doing cool things related to Bruno! For one, I am decorating a Bruno ita bag!! And I’m so excited about how it looks! Here’s what I’ve got so far:

I still want to do a little more with it though—for instance, I want to get some fairy lights to give it that attention-grabbing vibe. I also bought some sticker printer paper so I can print out clear stickers and put them on the bag, like his signature!! I’ll also probably add some hearts to the window too <3

So uh… do you guys think I can wear this thing out in public? 😅 (it’s definitely gonna be a con bag, and I’d really love to use it all the time, but would it be social suicide…?)

But I’m just so happy I finally have an ita bag for Bruno. This has been a dream of mine for the past few years, so I’ve been collecting stuff here and there, and I finally put it all together! EEEEEEEEEE 🥰

So yeah! THank you for checking in! I have missed you all. I think I’m just about ready to get back into answering questions and writing. YAYYYYY!!!

thanks for the ask!!!!! <3

Steven Stone headcanons because he's one of my favorite characters

-He's really good at old timey electroswing dances, and shit at any other ones. Probably dances like this with Wallace

-If he and Wallace ever got married, he'd probably propose with a rose quartz ring because they symbolize love and compassion

-I like to believe that he's had his metagross ever since he was a kid. In the games, he also mentions how his favorite pokemon is beldum. It'd be cute to think of him getting his metagross as a beldum, as well as it being his first pokemon

-No, but the games go out of their way to talk about how attractive he is (especially team magma and team aqua). He's aware of all of it, but chooses to ignore it. Does get awkward or flustered anytime someone flirts with him

-He can and will go on four hour tangents talking about his favorite rocks (he literally talked to deoxys about a cool rock I can't with him-)

-Owns metagross shorts. In fact, change his summer outfit in masters to wear metagross shorts, and we're all good

-This isn't really a headcanon, but masters mentions how he likes Hoenn Rangers (pkmn version of power rangers) and I like the idea of him being a super hero comic nerd

-Considering the fact that he goes and hands out rocks to people, he is most likely the one that helped Wally find a dawn stone and a moon stone to evolve his gallade and delcatty

-Sits on his Metagross doing whatever (reading, messing with his rocks, sleeping) and Metagross just kinda lets it happen

-His favorite candy is rock candy

-When he found out what Terra stones where, he put Wallace in charge of being Champion for like 6 months as he raced his way to Area Zero

-Has autism with stones being his special interest (idk if it's real, but I can't get over the line above)

-Ironically, he doesn't like rock music. He heard it once and never again

-Really enjoys art museums and all that kind of stuff, especially statues. Him and Cynthia go together anytime one of them visits

-Has lickded at least 5 rocks and has attempted to eat at least 1

-Both cares about neatness and doesn't care. When in caves, he won't care about getting his clothes dirty, but doesn't like getting messy outside of that

-Anime only: Has a soft spot for Maryn and Alain, and let's them get away with more than they should

-Enjoys boardgames a lot. In my champion roommate au, I can imagine Iris and Blue trying to teach Steven how to play Mario Kart or something, and he just sucks ass at it. But he's really good at Minecraft for some reason. Spends a lot of times in the game mining

-Really good friendswith Professor Sycamore and they talk about mega evolution and rocks together

-He sleeps in really soft pajamas and is sometimes a nerd about them. He has Skarmory, Cadilly, and Aggron onsies, and a pajama top with beldum patterns on it. Casual clothes would be T-shirts with words like, "Sinnoh Rocks!" and then having a lot of evolutionary stones for the print pattern or something like that

-Aggron's dex entry mentions how they plant trees and soil to keep their mountains looking nice. Steven saw his Aggron doing this, and started doing a bit of gardening himself

-Wallace does, in fact, use the nickname "Silver-haired dreamboat" for him and Steven looks like this anytime that happens

(I wanna make a post just rambling about originshipping because I love it a lot)

[marv3l-drag0ns]

Now YOU !!!! Gym TYPE and TEAM pretty pleeease :3

ok so final team!

[lorekeeper-backset]

Hiiii so uh I've looked around your blog and pokemon IRL stuff

I LOVE IT ALL SO MUCH !!! WE HAVE THE SAME TASTE IN SO MANY THINGSSSS

First of all Alpha Sapphire was my first pkmn game and it's my FAVORITE EVERRRR my starter was Blaziken and my fave poké is Rayquaza and I'm a HUGE Team Aqua fan I have ONE cosplay that I take out every year to go to conventions and it's a Team Aqua grunt. My other fave pokemons are Absol and Mightyena and ALL OF GEN 3 HELP IM AUTISTIC

I also saw your Team Aqua and Team Magma reunited (I forgot the actual word u used jsjsjsj sorry I'm a bit too exited) pokemon conservation and !! That's like... the story I've been building with my own pkmn irl blog. Team Aqua and Team Magma are now protecting pokemon agains hurtful human activities. Aqua is taking care of marine pokémons and Magma of terrestrial pokemons. They haven't officially fused but they're working together. Also they're called Neo-Aqua ans Neo-Magma basent on a fake memory I had of à grunt calling themselves "Neo-Aqua" when, in fact, he was just saying something like "We're gonna be a new Team Aqua". I played the game 10 years ago.

I am SO SO IN LOVE WITH RAYQUAZA I made my trainersona (the Team Aqua grunt) à Rayquaza Chosen lmao. He didn't give her incredible powers or anything but he takes care of her. He isn't officially in her (my trainersona) team but he helps her out. Kinda the same with Latias who's, I agree, an EXCELLENT legendary poke :3

ANYWAYYYYSYSS I LOVE YOUR BLOG SO MUCH I'LL ACTUALLY READ THROUGH THEM MORE WHEN IM A BIT CALMED DOWN AND ILL TRY TO INTERACT IN PKMN IRL SJSJJEJDZJ SORRY I JUST REALLY LOVE WHAT YOU'VE BUILT

Woah. This is... this is a lot, haha. You're making me blush. Alpha Sapphire was my second game but it remains my favorite to this day (with Y, my first one, being my second favorite). I have so many thoughts about it all the time. I'm glad I was able to inspire you, it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside, you know.

[rileykitty]

I can send asks! I've honestly been avoiding tumblr lately but boop day has made me remember why my younger self used to love tumblr.

But anyways what are your current fandom interests?

I think all of us are craving more interaction with each other when it comes to social media. It's so easy to get caught up in endlessly scrolling without interacting, but I try to make a conscious effort to break out of that and comment more. :'3 Makes me feel better even if I never get a reply, you know?

Scum Villain is my main fandom right now! The characters are just soooo much fun, I'm kind of insane about them. Cannot emphasize enough how much I love these weird little guys. I ADORE the fandom itself, as well. It's the most welcoming and enjoyable fandom I've been a part of in a long time tbh!!! <3 I like mxtx's other works too, but the fandom was a big part of svsss becoming the one I focused on the most.

Soulsborne is also something I'm absolutely in LOVE with--specifically Bloodborne and Elden Ring since those are the ones I've played but I wanna get into Dark Souls so bad when I have the chance. I'm obsessed with the monster designs and the lore, and Bloodborne instantly became my top fave game of all time the moment I finished it a few years ago. It's a truly incredible masterpiece.

Dungeon Meshi is the most recent thing I've gotten into. I finally had the chance to read the manga and finished it literally like two days ago! Still getting caught up on the anime. Really, really good read and I'm so glad it was just as weird as I was hoping it would be hahaha

Pokemon is still near and dear to my heart as well, but I've been taking a bit of a break from it since I'm a little burned out and wasn't really interested in playing ScarVi. Legends Arceus was easily my favorite pkmn game since Gen 5, though!

❨♡❩ valentine's week ; familial day

familials have been such an important factor in my time as a selfshipper recently because i truly came to appreciate what is familial love. it's just that really nice feeling of pride and appreciation for someone you really care about. i'm excited to say that i have a lot in my roster to share! reading isn't mandatory for anyone viewing - writing my feelings help me articulate my words well.

first and probably my most important one yet is ruby stone! at first, I wasn't really interested in the whole "he's my son concept" but i just knew that ruby was an instant favorite of mine after reading the manga. it's funny, because i actually did kin him at one point (i mean, i can still say i kin him but because i'm a selfshipper first, manga consumer second. i see him as my son more). i see myself a lot in him especially in his flaws. but because a friend told me it would be fun if i had called him a familial, it wouldn't be so bad (and steven is also there. wouldn't it be a cute family?). i initially drafted jaide stone and ruby to just be friends but ruby has a special attachment to her (due to his personal issues with his father) but that shit changed FAST and thus, ruby stone was born. i adore my silly boy, he makes me so happy and i admire his character. he's different from the other protagonists and it makes him stand out all the more. I'm so proud of him, his whole story made me so emotional and i just want to hug him and let him know everything's okay and he has every right to be who he wants.

am i allowed to talk about my husband? i mean he IS ruby's father so,,, heheh. ill keep it short or else it becomes a romantic love letter to my hunni sorry 😚 anyways i always imagined steven to want to have kids and ruby was the best thing he ever asked for. he's so proud of him too. they went through a rough patch as a father and son but things gotten better and they're very happy to call each other family. 💚

ahh, my favorite silly stinky little brother. gold! this one's got a long history. i was always a big fan of ethan/gold as a protagonist in the games. but i had no idea that this version ethan (or as the manga calls him, gold.) was simply the best for me. he's got this special spark that really checks off my list of what makes a character my favorite! just like ruby, i also see myself a lot in him. (heck, even my sister thinks i'm super gold-coded) he was so shaped to be my best friend or little brother, and i picked the latter. he's probably the most comedic, and has a very deep emotional side that i like to philosophize about. po.kespe kids are written with much difficulty and he's no exception. if i had a brother, i feel like this is how i would treat him.

okay this one's gonna be SUPER confusing which i'll apologize over and over again i'm so sorry 😭😭 for this one, i'd like go introduce blake and nate (respectively). these two are completely different from each other, but i still have this maternal/big sister care for both of them. just like gold - nate is one of my favorite protagonists by game and learning their personalities in both manga and game (pkmn masters ex) made me adore them even more. i think ilynne (oc) is the first girl who has more priority over familial and platonics than romantics. i think that's very cool! it's hard to say everything here why i love both versions but if you took a look for yourself, maybe you'll understand hehe. (also, nate just has the BEST protagonist design. hello? who wouldn't love him? definitely not me!!!!) it was only because of pkmn masters ex that made me like nate a lot. his voicelines makes me feel so comforted like that's just a really happy boy! he sounds so excited for everything and his giggles just cleanse my soul 😭 i could pat his head all day. silly pineapple boy. blake just... i dunno man. it's probably because i already liked his base design so naturally I'd like his manga ver too 😭 they pulled a wildcard in designing this kid like he's a fuckin agent!!! that's so cool!!! hes a fuckin hater!!! look at him go i can fix the edgy kid !!! by being his mom!!! (lore accurate btw)

ah yes. the most fanbase developed kid ever. it's carmine! this kid is so special. his entire existence came from a fan created f.n.f mod and everyone ran with it - just like me. i remember constantly keeping tabs with this mod and i was always curious to know what carmine has in his story - playing the mod itself was such a pleasant surprise. my whole attention was shifted to carmine's story - it's rewritten slightly to make the creepypasta more impactful and it certainly did make me feel sympathetic for the little guy. giving him the sweetest and admired big brother to love and care for him was the best design i ever thought of. after the devs added more story, it made me feel all the more protective of carmine. unfortunately he's not the most lively boy around as he's bullied for his insignificance. i would do anything to let him know he's loved. (AGGRESSIVELY FORGETS THE PART WHERE HE'S PAINFULLY POSSESSED BY THE FUCKIN GHOST BEGONE!!!!)

i think what also powered how much i love carmine was the endless support i got from the actual fans of the mod on twt. even the devs approved it and it made me feel so happy and reassured that it's okay to appreciate him (it was actually a little nerve-wracking to post rhys and carmine on twt because carmine is... technically an oc). that's why i describe carmine to be a special kind of fo. he's an oc of a mod and that's pretty neat

those are my main familials, but i'd also like to give a shoutout to my secondary familials!

when i tell you there's so many cool characters in this game I wasn't JOKING. these guys are so... AUGHH i feel like they would be the best guys to have around to make my day better. looker is more uncle shaped to me, he's not exactly the BEST caretaker (shh i know emma) but i know he's trying his best. it's hard to juggle being an agent and a friend but i understand that and i appreciate his efforts. playing platinum to see this guy appear, i just KNEW he's gonna be the coolest. and i wasnt wrong! he's associated with my oc ilynne along with blake! for po.kespe consumers, yes - they are all coworkers!

professor sy.camore is definitely a father figure to me. i love his enthusiasm and i know he's the best guy to cheer someone up. his cheerfulness is endless and he literally mentors 4 kids, if he can do that then surely he can make my day better (a miserable young adult /jjj) i really wanted to make a kalosian oc for him. i envisioned the oc to be an ex team flar.e member who wanted to renew herself from her past deeds (as she was foolish to not understand lysandre's grand plan) and sy.camore was there to rescue her from her crisis and helped her start somewhere by being a student under his care. they would develop a father-daughter dynamic and i think that's very sweet 🥺💚

in case you noticed. my main familials are a case of like ... me wanting to nurture them. but my secondaries are the other way around and it's like... what if i was the one being nurtured and cared for? pretty cool...

that's all for today. thank you familials 💚

[merriclo]

hihi i'm here to be autistic in your askbox. what's your favorite generation of pokemon games :333

YAYYY YES PLEASE okay so im reallyyyy biased for generation 7 since pkmn sun and moon were the first pkmn games i was allowed to play. i also played it while my brother was stationed in Hawai'i, so it’s pretty sentimental for me as well. i also love beaches and islands and tropical areas and oceans with my entire heart so there’s that too ahajjdkdka

but as for games, my favorite so far is probably Legends Arceus. little me decided very early on that Ash and all player-characters were stupid for aiming to become the Champion, because obviously being a professor is where it’s at. and Legend Arceus let me do that, in a way!! plus i love more open-world games. i think the worldbuilding and lore and story in Legends Arceus is some of the strongest seen from pokémon in the last several years !!

there’s also this one legends arceus edit i see all the times and it’s actually hypnotizing. i am not immune to fandom hype, i see cool fan content for a game and it immediately gets my favor

[misssleepless12]

A03 Wrapped 2023 Edition

This is technically an ask game but I'm just gonna answer some of these here bc 2023 was a super big year for me in terms of how much I wrote!! And I'm just kinda proud of my silly self hehehe <3

How many works did you publish this year? 14! I wrote for four different fandoms! Blue Lock, Persona 3, PKMN Black and White, and PKMN Scarlet and Violet.

What work are you most proud of (regardless of kudos/hits)? I've written so many things I'm proud of this year, but I'm gonna have to say riptide ! rnis in Rin's hometown of Kamakura, but I did sooo much research for it and put so much effort into it and then wrote it all in a three weeks in a massive brainrot streak hahah.

If you use song lyrics, which artist’s songs did you pull from the most? Ohhh god time to embarrass myself again but the Chainsmokers was my top artist of 2023 and I also used so many of their lyrics and songs for inspiration. As evidence above hahaha~

Pairing you wrote the most for this year? In terms of number of fics, it's rnis/rinsagi at 4! But in terms of word count, otkr/tabieita came from the back with the surprise win!

Favorite pairing you wrote for this year? The surprise contender that was tabieita hahah

How many WIP’s do you have in your docs for next year? Haha, haha.... ha. I'm sitting at five fully started/outlined ones already... oh boy XD

What work was the quickest to write? Gold Star for Effort which took me like four hours djfndkj

What work took you the longest to write? Pull in Case of Bisexual Awakening at five and a half months!

Your favorite character to write this year? Otoya Eita, my beloved womanizing green noodle ninja hahah

What’s one pairing you want to explore next year? Bris/ barousagi bug bit me recently so I know that wave of brainrot is coming!

Which work of yours have you reread the most? let's admit, without apology, what we do to each other .... my comfort fic

How many kudos in total did you get this year? 2,096! The most I've ever gotten in a single year and nearly half of what I've gotten altogether!

What do you listen to while writing? I have a bunch of character or ship playlists I made that I like to listen to! I also sometimes just throw rain sounds in the background too pfft.

Favorite work you wrote this year? Once again... Pull in Case of Bisexual Awakening! Literally changed the course of my year both in terms of my real life and my creative one writing that bad boy!

Favorite line/passage you wrote this year? He is rawer, nowadays, somewhat like when Sae first rejected him but also not. ‘Somewhat’ because he still aches all the time, ‘not’ because he embraces it. All wound. No boy. No need for anyone to stem his bleeding because Rin’s at his best when he’s bleeding, when he can be obscene, when he can destroy. - from final boys

Biggest surprise while writing this year? That once I figured out a good process for going from idea-outline-actual writing to finished product, I was so impressed with the amount of writing I was actually capable of! I've always been a notoriously slow writer, which led to me not being able to post super often prior to 2023 But I really hammered out a writing process that works for me and I did the best I could with it I think! I hope to improve upon it this year and hopefully get a better handle of keeping my word counts in check too (chronic over-writer here dkjfndjk).

2023 was such a big wild year for my writing and I can only hope I keep up the energy in 2024. It was such a blast and I appreciate everyone who supported me through all the ups and downs!! <3
