Matsu pokémon team headcanons!

spent way too much time on this. whatever, we ball even though it's like 3 am!! i tried to limit myself to the older generations (the 2D ones, gen 1-5) for them since they're not exactly modern characters. i also included chibita, totoko and nyaa because yes

general hcs:

the Matsu bros are still NEETs and never took part in gym challenges, so they're not really 'trainers' but if i had to assign them a trainer class and make one up i'd say Sextuplet, as an extention of the already existing Twins trainer class (as far as i know there isn't really a 'just some adult guy without a job' trainer class, if there is please enlighten me)

because they didn't go on that journey to collect gym badges or what have you when they were kids, they never received a 'traditional' starter pokémon

so all 6 of them got an Eevee as kids instead (as present from their parents to teach them responsibility; didn't really work). none of them really thought of evolving until Choromatsu’s Eevee did accidentally

none of the bros have a fully evolved team

but i did give them all a full team of six because why not

Totoko and Nyaa have a fish and cat based team respectively, to go with their idol careers

for Chibita i thought it'd be fun to give him a mostly food/cooking based team and help him man his food stand since oden is life

SO! on to the actual teams! i put them under the cut since it's so damn long, i'm not kidding:

Osomatsu

Flareon: was the last of the Eevees to evolve, only did so when Osomatsu got lucky and won a Fire Stone at the pachinko parlor game corner. likes playing with Nyaa's Torracat and tries to pursuade Oso to see them more often

Meowth: has the move Pay Day to potentially win more money when Oso wins a battle, which he almost never does since he almost never battles

Ambipom: annoying and mischievous. used to be a tag team with Choromatsu's Croagunk, him being the distraction and Croagunk 'going in for the kill', but drifted apart in high school and never really reconnected

Growlithe: a 'guard dog' but is just as lazy as Oso himself

Slakoth: just a chill little guy. Osomatsu is a little jealous of him, having no expecations and all

Munchlax: menace with a huge appetite, but very cute. nobody can stay mad at him for long. joins Ichi in the alleys to look for free food in the trashcans.

i also think Oso would want to catch a Chansey, to increase his luck at the races and game corner

Karamatsu

Glaceon: Karamatsu initially wanted to save up for a Water Stone to evolve his Eevee into Vaporeon but that idea went down the drain when in the winter time Eevee evolved into Glaceon instead [also insert obligatory cool dude joke here]. he and Roselia work together very well

Krokorok: knows he looks cool and flaunts it. he stole Kara's sunglasses often (never mind the fact he basically already looks like he has sunglasses on) until Kara just bought some black glasses for him so now they match :)

Roselia: tries to keep both Kara and Krokorok somewhat humble, with Glaceon's help, but gets roped into Kara’s attempts at wooing girls every time (aka standing there and looking pretty). since his Water Stone plan failed, Kara now instead saves up for a Shiny Stone to evolve Roselia into Roserade

Duskull: Karamatsu is just such a chill, awesome and cool guy that he attracted such a pokémon with his chill, awesome and cool vibes. ...yeah, that's what Karamatsu tells everyone and wants you to think. in reality Duskull startled him so Kara threw a pokéball at Duskull to chase him away which didn't work and was caught instead while Kara ran away. he only noticed when Krokorok caught up with him, holding the pokéball he threw

Lumineon: glows in the dark. got laughed at by his brothers by catching a weak fish pokémon, but Karamatsu thinks she's pretty. he goes outside during the evenings more often to show off her bioluminescence

Pancham: used to be Jyushi's in high school but he gifted him to Kara shortly after they graduated

i think Kara would want a Sirfetch'd SO BAD it's not even funny

Choromatsu

Leafeon: the first of the brothers' Eevees to evolve. when they were still kids Choromatsu and Osomatsu discovered a mossy rock while playing outside and after being there for a bit, Chibita showed up wanting to join them. the brothers said no which escalated into a battle. during that fight, Choro's Eevee evolved to protect them. that happened to also immediately stop the fight for both parties to process what happened. Leafeon is a very patient pokémon, unlike his trainer

Kirlia: keeps Primeape from going bananas 50% of the time. tries to keep Choromatsu from rising too much. very sensitive to negativity, so when he senses it he immediately wants to fix whatever is wrong which is why Ichimatsu prefers to not hang around Kirlia too long

Primeape: anger issues. a good fighter but too much to handle due to his temper sometimes

Buizel: holds swimming races with Jyushi every once in a while. butts heads with Ichimatsu's Morgrem quite frequently

Tangela: this one reminded me of Choro's self awareness ball thing so i thought that was funny. he's scared to death of Jyushi's Vespiquen so he stays as far away from her as possible

Croagunk: i couldn't not give Choromatsu a frog. anyway, he used to be a tag team with Oso's Ambipom. Choro used to be very proud of him when they were kids but is a little embarrassed about him nowadays

when he was in high school, he got the idea to train up a Poliwag so he could evolve it into Poliwhirl and later into Politoed. but after he saw how much work and time he had to put into that, as well as somehow get a hold of a rare King's Rock, he let go of that idea

Ichimatsu

Espeon: Ichimatsu leaned heavily on Espeon in high school for support, which Espeon provided without hesitation. Ichi's very grateful for that, but also feels like he didn't deserve it. Espeon is always at Umbreon's side and they are almost never seen seperately

Umbreon: yes Ichi gets both friendship Eeveelutions. he caught Umbreon after he encountered her almost every time he went out to feed the strays and wanted to stay with him eventually, allowing Ichi to catch her

Espurr: close with Jyushi's Natu. i had to include ESP Kitty and this pokémon is the literal ESP Kitty, so :3

Glameow: a former stray Ichi caught after she refused to leave their house after a storm

Purrloin: another former stray which pickpocketed Ichi's pachinko winnings once. he sent Espeon after her and he came back carrying her by the scruff. Ichimatsu got his winnings back and also gained another friend

Morgrem: in this pokémon's dex entry it says that it feeds off of negative emotions and is popular with people who tend to have gloomy thoughts, so i thought that fit. finds it funny to rile up Choromatsu's Buizel

Ichi used to be so pissed and sad over the fact that Meowth (that he brought home!) bonded with his eldest brother and not him. he kept that to himself and he's over it now but it took some time

a Trubbish sometimes follows Ichimatsu when he's out and about in the alleys

Jyushimatsu

Jolteon: Jyushimatsu didn't really care what his Eevee evolved into, but eventually settled for Jolteon, since they're quick. they play ball together pretty often

Vespiquen: Jyushi just showed up at home with her. no explanation from him, she's on his team now deal with it. she's very protective of her 'hive' aka Jyushi's team and himself (and by extention his brothers but only sometimes)

Natu: i just had '👁👁' in my notes for this one. likes to perch on pokémon or people's heads due to the higher vantage point

Pinsir: he also plays ball with Jyushi and Jolteon but sticks to pitching since he's not so fast and lets the other two run after the ball

Loudred: very enthusiastic and is therefore not allowed to go outside his pokéball inside the house anymore

Joltik: usually somewhere on Jyushi himself, but likes to play hide and seek as well. scares one of the brothers at night on accident every once in a while

on occasion a Boltund joins their ball game. it's not Jyushi's pokémon, nor a stray (he looks too well groomed for that), he just tags along sometimes

Todomatsu

Sylveon: evolved when Todomatsu was at his lowest point in high school and thought he had no one left except his beloved pokémon. Sylveon is very attached to Totty and is almost always outside his pokéball

Buneary: i noticed that Todomatsu usually has bunny characters/themes assigned to him in some crossovers and stuff, so Buneary fits that as well. i do think Totty would give him an Everstone though

Mimikyu: kept showing up at the sutabaa so a rumor quickly spread that the place was haunted, which was bad for business so Todomatsu was tasked to catch her when his coworkers were too scared to

Azumarill: helped Todomatsu at his job when he still worked. joins the swimming race with Choro's Buizel and Jyushi on occasion

Zorua: Todomatsu thought he was lucky as hell when he caught a Porygon but it actually was a Zorua in disguise. he was disappointed at first but after learning she could disguise herself as both pokémon AND people, he started thinking about how he could use that to his advantage

Minccino: caught her because Totty read these pokémon were popular with girls. he didn't expect her clean freak nature but he doesn't mind usually. their mother appreciates it though. Minccino is pals with Choro's Tangela and Kara's Duskull

Chef Chibita

Farfetch'd: helps Chibita prepare his oden, cutting the vegetables, meat and the like

Breloom: best buddies with Scovillain and likes to develop new food combinations and recipes

Comfey: Chibita has a Hawaiian theme going on in both his oden cart and his house so i thought this one was very cute and fitting. hangs around Chibita's cart and makes customers feel comfortable and relaxed

Scovillain: also helps preparing food, mostly keeps the temperature of the broth in check and chases away rude/too rowdy customers (the sextuplets 99/100 times)

Herdier: grew up with him and stayed by his side. knows his trainer inside and out. the same goes for Chibita. he knows his partner's limits and has to tell him to relax every once in a while

Blissey: maybe an odd choice but let me explain. she produces the eggs Chibita uses in his dishes, which make them truly delicious. helps out as a waitress when it's busy and likes to chat with customers' pokémon. she's very caring :)

Chef is a trainer class that already exists, so i went with that. Chibita is not a Clerk and Owner sounds too snobby imo

Rising Star Totoko

Sharpedo: Totoko thinks she's super cute and finds it weird when people don't agree. performs with her during her shows and is her main mascot on stage

Gyarados: does mostly the special effects and always uses Rain Dance during the show (this is not indicated in the promotion anywhere), so the audience gets soaked every time. the Matsu bros have started to bring umbrellas to avoid this

Bewear: received him as a Stufful from her parents since they thought she seemed lonely. likes Osomatsu's Slakoth's company for some inexplicable reason

Clamperl: is the main mascot on all the promotional material but doesn't actively participate in Totoko's shows. she does the effects, together with Gyarados so the audience usually feels cheated on when they came for Clamperl and not Sharpedo to perform. does not want to evolve

Bruxish: performs with Totoko and Sharpedo. most audiences aren't a fan of Bruxish, even though she does impressive stuff on stage

Morpeko: knows he's cute and uses that whenever possible. you don't want to be around when Totoko forgets to feed him. which is more often than not, unfortunately, because she has blatant favouritism towards her water types

whenever Totoko has a concert, a Plusle and Minun from both her parents are always there to cheer her on and try to get on stage to attract more people. Totoko always shoos them off, afraid that it would put a dent in her fish idol image

Idol Nyaa

Sprigatito: the main mascot (pink and green cat you know) and performs with Nyaa, is not allowed to evolve to keep it cute and small and the fanbase happy (her manager's words not her's), so she has an Everstone

Persian: performs with Nyaa, basically the secondary mascot because he's in every show

Shinx: same deal as Sprigatito, has an Everstone. she's more a background performer than front and centre

Meowstic: helps with the preparation for shows and babysits Nyaa's kid with Dobusu

Skitty: very cute and playful. Nyaa's kid (does she have a name btw or did i miss that somewhere?) loves playing with her

Torracat: is usually part of the pyrotechnics team but occasionally performs as well. stays home during less 'spectacular' performances to help babysit, especially during the colder months. considers Osomatsu's Flareon a good friend

the former three aren't technically Nyaa's pokémon but owned by staff, so she actually only has three. she wouldn't be able to look after six with her career being as busy and taxing as it is though anyway. having a kid didn't really make it easier either

behind the scenes there are a lot more pokémon to e.g. influence the mood of the audience to keep it relaxed and positive (Spritzee), perform the special effects (Liepard and Luvdisc) and uphold the safety of the performers (Machamp and Hariyama)

that's all, thanks for reading! :]
