Random Pokémon Headcanons

Any sexuality headcanons apply to adult versions of these characters. Please do not sexualize children :)

Red is a demiboy and uses he/it. When he grows up he also comes to identify as asexual and aromantic

Blue is bisexual but with a preference towards men. He can be a bit of a flirt but strikes out 90% of the time due to his cocky vibe

Kris is the daughter of that random woman who's in your kitchen talking to your mom at the beginning of GSC. Ethan and Kris's moms have always been friends & neighbors; Kris's dad is one of Professor Elm's aides. When she's young Kris wants to work alongside Elm, but as she gets older she becomes interested in Pokémon psychology - ways their brains are similar and different to those of humans, and how that knowledge can be used to help Trainers and Pokémon better understand each other.

Silver is demiheterosexual. I like to imagine that he and Kris strike up a relationship. In his adult years he works on-and-off with the International Police when incidents with Team Rocket spring up, but he refuses to join them because he doesn't always want to play by their rules.

May is pansexual, and either aromantic or just not strongly interested in relationships. She definitely dated Lisia at some point, even if only briefly

Leaf is a trans girl! I used to hc that her other name (Green in English, Blue in Japanese) was her deadname, but I know there's controversy around having trans/nb characters' deadnames revealed, and as someone who is not trans myself I want to be careful. Anyway, I imagine her exploring the Kanto we see in Pokémon GSC; in that game you first land in Vermillion City, so I imagine her being from there.

Both Lucas and Barry have very juvenile crushes on Dawn (with her in the "friend" role and Lucas as the protag). However, Dawn makes it clear that she isn't interested in that kind of relationship, and they get over it pretty quickly.

Would it be way too stereotypical to say that Barry has ADHD

Lyra caught her Marill as an Azurill in Mt. Mortar (yes I know Azurill isn't found there wild, but let's say someone snuck an incense in there or something). She didn't have any other Pokémon so she "borrowed" a bunch of Poké balls from her grandparents and just hucked them at the mon over and over until eventually she caught it

Hilbert and Hilda are twins! Hilbert is older by just thirty seconds, which irritates Hilda to no end.

Bianca and Cheren are both trans and when they get older they start dating. Their Neo Champion event was just giving t4t sorry i don't make the rules

Hilda & Nate are the two Unova protags; after B2W2, Nate stays in Unova to lead the Pokémon League, Rosa has a moderately successful career at Pokéstar Studios, Hilda goes searching abroad for N, and Hilbert becomes a frequent visitor on the Battle Subway, second in rank only to Emmet & Ingo.

Calem is a trans boy!!!

Shauna is a lesbian with a crush on Serena, Serena is straight with a crush on Calem, and Calem is completely oblivious to everything

Everyone just kind of assumes that Tierno and Trevor are gay and dating but actually they're both straight but queerplatonic

Hau is ace but girls usually assume he's flirting with them and then get sad when they find out he's not

Gladion probably uses he/they and maybe also some neopronouns

Chase, Elaine, and Trace are all painfully straight I'm sorry. Elaine becomes the Champion, Chase travels the world to become the very best like no one ever was, and idk Trace works at viridian city gym or something

Victor is nonbinary!!!! Based off my own experience of playing the game with Victor as my protag but feeling uncomfortable with my character using he/him. They can be a little awkward and apologetic about their identity, but Hop has been supporting them in their transition for years and will fight anyone who misgenders them. The downside of this is that Hop can be a little too overzealous as an ally and sometimes he makes a scene when Victor would rather just go incognito.

Rei (as protag) is the little brother of Lucas from DPP :) Idk Johanna got remarried or something

Juliana is genderfluid but identifies more with the female end of the spectrum. Depending on the day, they use she/her, they/them, it/its, or xe/xem.

Penny is a demigirl and uses she/they/he

istg that nate neo champion outfit makes me weep hes so cute (makes his emo version (blake) wear it)

[stone-slab]

On one hand this is genuinely motivational

on the other hand they abused him for three years for some internet clout

[epicspheal]

In the recent Leon event, Red was seen training with Ethan, Rosa, and Elio. Given that the Dexio and Sina event had just proven that he and Selene both experienced the Alola plot, due to them having both met Dexio and Sina, what do you make of this? Is Elio the canon first Champion of Alola? Did he choose to battle Red while Selene battled Blue? Or did Red not choose the ACTUAL Champion Selene because Decidueye would clash with Serperior but Primarina wouldn’t?

Hi there @ether-gearhead! Good Question! Honestly, I really think that at the moment In Pokemas canon, neither Selene or Elio have officially become Alola's first champion in the Pokemas verse...mainly because DeNA might be hesitant to canonize one over the other. Outside of Red (and Gloria and Hilbert to lesser extents), DeNA has been hesitant to canonize one protagonist as champion preferring to keep the events up until the protagonist defeat their region's evil team and then being really ambiguous about it. Which is a bit frustrating given the fact that the animated shorts of Pokemon Generations and Pokemon Evolutions tend to at least choose one of the protagonists as a canon champion. I really think it was more of a "we needed a fire, grass and water trio from the three sets of protagonists who can have a winnable match against Red" thing. Rosa here was actually the one that was the given since Nate is given Braviary as his base so she takes the grass...which rules out not only Selene-Decidueye but Lyra-Meganium (which we know from Pokemas canon was the one who fought Red on Mt Silver). So this really left Elio and Ethan as the other two options wihch works because they fill the water and fire types I do think maybe DeNA will broach this topic of the first Alola Champion at some point...or cop out with Neo Champions.

Love Neo Champion Nate's Sync Move Quote. "This is the best attack." It sure is, buddy (he's just excited to have an alt).

[quixot1sm]

can you. talk about nate hilbertverse

yes GOD this poor guy.

first off: nate is hilbert's little brother- 6 years his junior. he'd always looked up to hilbert as a role model, idolizing him especially after his ascension to hero of ideals. keep in mind that nate was only 10 when bw happened, so his understanding of the situation was surface-level and admittedly naïve. even when hilbert had been hospitalized for his injuries, he'd put on a brave face for nate, so the latter didn't grasp the severity of what happened/was happening.... it wouldn't be until later that the reality of how scary this was would sink in.

freshly 11 yrs old when hilbert left unova, nate was then sent off to aspertia to live with the other half of the family (hilda, rosa, and their mom) so he could enroll in cheren's trainer's school with rosa and earn his permit. the idea was also a way to provide him with a distraction from hilbert's absence since nate was a lonely kid... but anyway, this permit allowed them to participate in the junior division of the pokemon league challenge, meaning if either of them won, they'd be a champion in name only. that didnt happen but i'll get to why in a second.

when he was 12, despite setting out with the intention of collecting gym badges, hugh and nate quickly veered off course when team neo-plasma began showing its face around the region, urging the two of them to give chase in a bid to get some answers out of them. in the process, nate came across and befriended keldeo, and then, upon meeting colress, was dubbed something akin to his protégé.

this of course all came to a head in giant chasm. there... something happened that left nate almost a completely different person. not only had he been told, to his face, that his big brother was gone for good, but his right arm was caught in the line of kyurem's glaciate.

like his brother before him, nate was then hospitalized for a considerable amount of time, and like theyd done for his brother before him, interpol came swooping in make use of nate at his lowest. because, technically, hilbert had been working with them when he disappeared, so they had to take some accountability in his case... and what better way that to employ his little brother, i guess.

before his journey, nate was a sweet, excitable kid, although he struggled with tone. afterwards... it's like he struggles to recognize any emotion at all. he's blunt, does not have time for distractions, he gets unreal tunnel vision and dedicates years working on tying up loose ends regarding hilbert- such as the whereabouts of the dark stone and anything he might have left behind that nate can bring back home... rosa thinks its a pointless obsession and would rather forget about it all, and this resulted in a fight that drove a wedge between the two of them. :(

this was supposed to be a brief summary and its already gotten this long LOL... i had to skip over some details that i'll revisit in other posts later. like n's zorua. theres a lot going on with a lot of the hilbertverse cast and nate is no exception.

some more trivia, though:

reshiram would have accepted him as a hero of truth if he'd agreed to it... but hes very different from n. his pursuit of truth is one devoid of idealism- he has no hope, no optimism, he only wants to get the facts to provide some sense of closure.

his full name is nathaniel tobias black. do not ever call him this

his birthday is may 4

he has two shinies, those being his emboar and his galvantula. lucky bastard

we really dont know what gender his emboar is? most just assume its a male, but it responds to whatever. really it does what it wants. its name is samson and its parents are bianca and hilda's emboars.

his prosthetic arm was designed and built by colress. the guy likes to think of himself as nate's mentor, even though he's one of the main factors behind why nate's even going through what he is in the first place...

and finally, although it's currently only 3 songs long, heres his playlist!

Loser's Round Three, Match 4

[ofowlsdinosaursanddragons]

Lore dump on “Scars of Black and White”

What is “Scars of Black and White”? Well it’s this version of the Unova games mashed with some parts from the manga versions. The Arc is divided into five parts, Act 1, Act 2, Act 3, Climax, and the epilogue.

Act 1 encompasses the events of the first black and white games up until when Hilbert and Hilda gain their final badge. Out of any other act in the Unova arc, this one is the most lighthearted as the black and white twins (Hilbert and Hilda), explore Unova discover new loves, and fight Pokémon battles. However, no one could ever expect what would happen afterward.

Act 2 is the later half of the Black and White storyline, and pretty much begins with Bianca getting killed off the plasma revolt. This is when you get hit with the spiked trauma bat. After the battle with ghetsis, hilbert gets fused within the light stone and is stolen by Ghetsis after his defeat. This means that Hilda and hilbert are the only protagonists here that haven’t fought the elite 4 and became champion.

Act 3 begins a few months before the story and follows Hilda and N finding the Neo team plasma base and beating Ghetsis a second time. Not wanting to accept defeat he reveals he has found kyurem and fused with Reshiram Hilbert and commands it to attack the duo. both of them barely escape with Hilda losing her arm via frostbite and N getting scarred. The protagonists, and their Rival Hugh, get their starters from Hilda who became an assistant for Juniper in order to atone for Bianca’s death. Much like the first act, it has a lighter tone. However, it’s not as fluffy as the first act due to the plasma attack during act 2. And as ghetsis plans for his takeover of the world.

The Climax of “scars of black and white” is the zenith of the story and is also another part of “the fuckening” (alongside another Kalosian crisis). Nate, Hilda, Rosa, Hugh, N, Cheren, and Roxie all face off against team neo plasma for the fate of Unova. During the final battle with Ghetsis, Hilbert shields an attack from Ghetsis’ Kingambit (he has one in the AU btw) and gets critically injured in the process. After beating Ghetsis, N tries at one final attempt to foolishly redeem Ghetsis, he gets beat by Ghetsis and losses his eye. However, His Hydreigon gets furious and lands a dragon rush on Ghetsis and kills him. Ending the threat of team plasma once and for all. However, Hilbert and N’s Zekrom fuse and the original dragon: OZYMANDIGON. And with Hilbert, now human, lying beside him. Hilbert and Hilda finally Reunite after two years of being separated.

the epilogue of “scars of black and white” follows both the Unova heroes as they complete the elite four and become champion status trainers. Ozymandigon secured his place as the dragon king of Unova with the unovan champions N, Iris, and Alder as his Allies. As for where are the heroes of Unova are now… Both Nate and Rosa are Celebrated as the kids who saved Unova and meet the heroes of Kalos, Roxie and Cheren becoming respected amongst the gym leaders, Hugh expressed his feeling towards Nate and both began to heal, and finally, both Hilda and Hilbert had a heartfelt reunion with their mom and left Unova in order to get away from it all (ala Steven universe future ending).
