#no pokemon does not exist in this au

[rainyreyn9]

I've not posted a full drawing since yesterday, uhhh idk have this old drawing from my Unchanging Past pokemon au

There is zero context behind this drawing, I just felt like drawing these two fighting side by side.

You're free to be curious what this au was about cuz I still have the concept written even though I've changed everything about it--

[perenlop]

controversial opinion is that i dont think pokemon shouldve phased out irl animals existing and i dont think it should be seen as weird that they did. there should be debates inuniverse over whether its better to have a meowth or a regular cat as a pet because the meowth could get you some money but might learn the wrong moves and break your pipes, while the cat doesnt have any powers or quirks but it’s easier to manage

[duckapus]

Idea: one of those "Ash somehow ends up in a group chat (usually with the Champions or Legendaries, sometimes with other characters) the first day of his journey and it messes with the series" AUs that've been popping up on AO3 lately, but instead it's a group chat made up of alternate versions of himself. One of them's the canon version (or at least close to it), the rest are AU versions, at least one of them is Ashley (not sure if trans or just genderbent. leaning towards trans), and all of them are from post-series and trying not to give too many spoilers because they don't want to overwhelm their "mini-me" or make things too easy for him 'cause if they do he won't grow as a trainer and person like they did (not that he'd want them to coddle him like that anyway. He's always wanted to get through on his own merits not have victories just handed to him). Also Arceus told them not to (who else do you think would've set this up?).

Granted, sometimes even when they do give spoilers it doesn't help much between them not having perfect memories, being from alternate timelines so a lot of the details are different between them, and forgetting just how stubborn and bull-headed their Kanto Era self could be.

I call it the "Self-Help Hotline" AU

"I won't rob you in the mountains. Not right now. Nope! Seems verrrry rude."

...

"But don't get in my way, alright?"

He grew on me! Full body of Bandit Emmet--mostly did this to nail down a design (and as an excuse to draw steelix bwahaha)

Unfortunately he's got a sad layer underneath it all. Perhaps I'll delve into it in the future? Who knows... 🤔🤔

I don't think I'll ever be a proper Content Creator because of the way my brain works, but my biggest goal is to somehow make a story that makes someone so mentally ill about a thing that they can't think straight. As I do. Every couple weeks or so. Someday it will happen and I will do skitter around dancing and cheering wildly on the subway platform in my brain

MOCHI MOCHI, but it was a bit darker and REDRAWN!!

Hello everyone! I was in a creative mood, and redrew the VERY FIRST art I made on my blog which kindaaaa blew up. (You can see that post here.)

The info is still regularly the same, with the main character not existing, and the Paldea trio are being sent to Kitakami.

Nemona never found her rival, and upon being possessed, she goes from attentive and intuitive and loving battles to sluggish and stubborn, and will continue battling others even if they have no Pokemon left. And since Kieran, Carmine, and Geeta have to work to defeat her, she found her match.

Penny was never allowed to see their friends after Team Star still got expelled. Upon meeting Pechakeen, they go from prissy and timid to friendly and sociable, though that kindness is all just an act, and the chance they get, anyone they deem as a "bad guy" they'll ruthlessly bully and humiliate them. Since Carmine had drove Penny and the others off, Penny found the bully they could stand up to.

Arven still never was told about the incident in Area Zero, and with his Mabosstiff dying and his parents never around, Arven felt alone, left to deal with his negative self confidence. Upon meeting Pechakeen, he went from brash and unapproachable to apathetic and dramatic along with Sada's temper and Turo's emotional coldness. While the real Arven is still trapped in a false reality in his mind, this version of him never questions a thing, putting on this wimpy act until someone does something he doesn't like, and the temper comes flaring.

PLEASE!!! ASK ME QUESTIONS ABOUT MY AU!! Whether it be story changes, Paldea trio, whatever!!!

Mochi Desires AU is also getting a BIT of a rewrite so feel free to ask about that too!

[bluebellowl]

So how does time travel work in the 50's AU if there are no pokemon?

Soo... um... it's not like pokemon don't exist at all. I got sneasler as a sacret beast Ingo is guarding and wardening. Arceus is sorta the God of beasts in this AU too.

Gods and mythical beings are definitely part of this AU, they're just not widely known. It's sorta low fantasy. It's there but it's not common at all.

When asked where he's been for 15 years, Ingo will reply something like "The God of beasts has transported me through time and space to save the world" like it's sarcasm, not expecting people to take it as anything but a joke even tho that's exactly what happened

Here's me still struggling with puzzling together a cohesive lore and making dialog in comics smh...

[sparklingdemon]

storyswap au between pkmn-monochrome and @nuzlight-mia!!

the idea here is that mia makes a DPPT rom hack to cope w her trauma, and that the nuzlight got cody instead, imitating GB/GBA pokemon games instead of DS ones.

(more ramblings below hehe)

cody is still disillusioned w pokemon, so they're initially immune to the nuzlight's full influence over them (still compelled to play the game, but not as enamored w the game as they should be) so the nuzlight works extra hard to influence cody. eventually it does work on them in the end, so when cody gets pulled into the game, they wake up from its trance feeling soooo gross n violated for being essentially brainwashed into loving pokemon again. cody initially tries to martyr themself like canon mia, not wanting anyone else to suffer the same fate - but eventually the lack of any sane or human company wears down on them. the nuzlight gives sentience to cody's teammates, which helps placate them for a while, but they're still determined to get out eventually. unfortunately their pokemon don't want cody to leave, they don't want to stop existing - so they disobey all of cody's orders and purposefully lose every battle so that cody can't take the place of any player who fights them.

the nuzlight eventually allows humans to view it through a dreamlike state (just like canon mia) so that cody can have people to talk to. this actually manages to placate them into giving up on escaping, but they're still off-put by how much the nuzlight seems to adapt itself to what it thinks cody would like...

also: instead of a blacklight effect, the game turns monochrome instead. techno usually appears as a gen 1 ghost, but their true jirachi form appears when the monochrome effect is on.

as for mia's side of the AU, here's what prince had to say on it!! (cw for ableism)

[livmadart]

So, I've been having a bit of a Pokemon hyperfixation and I've been playing a ton of Pokemon Scarlet lately. My Zorua (appropriately nicknamed Kaito) encountered a Koffing with the neutralizing gas ability. It negated Zorua's transform ability.

Since I love your Phantump AU, I got thinking... how does Kaito deal with this? Does he go out of his way to avoid Koffing? Maybe his Zorua secret got revealed because of an encounter with one?

Oooh i didn’t realize that ability existed! Yes i think he does encounter one unluckily on a heist…but manages to convince conan to help him escape ^_^

[rocksama24]

Freedom, at last.

So, basically, this is a Pokémon AU. Yes, there is lore (that I created).

Warning: a lot of yapping.

So, in this exact picture, Kazuha had finally escaped from Inazuma. Questions: Do visions still exist? yes.

Is Tomo still alive? no. Unfortunately, he did not save any of Tomo's Pokemon, but he did steal one of the eggs and Tomo's vision.

Why does Kazuha always appear injured in your fanart? I like angst.

[curiositykilledtheradiostar]

since @thelemonsnek posted the comic they did for this au I figured now is a good time to post this! AU details under the cut :>

Ingo got eeby deebied still. not to ancient Hisui, just a museum dedicated to Hisui! he still has amnesia

He works night security. Like the movie, the whole place comes to life at night. why does it do this? why was Ingo involved? idk it’s not important this is a silly au first and foremost

his “warden band” is from the gift shop. Lady Sneasler has decided he’s her warden now because she’s the only noble with no warden in the museum. she kept stealing the actual warden band from her display to give to Ingo. Ingo still isn’t sure how she was opening the case with her claws

Akari is there, and she’s Dawn. she snuck in at night on a dare early in her journey, got caught and gave a fake name, and then kept coming back to visit because a) cool haunted(?) museum, b) as the whole Galactic mess went down, it became nice to have someone who didn’t know her for that. she may have reverse adopted Ingo as her uncle

yes, Ingo is unaware of who Akari really is. he’s BAD at keeping up with current events

he doesn’t have his full hisuian team, but he has a Magneton and Kadabra, they’re good for fending off the museum “pokemon” without actually damaging them. he also has Gligar but doesn’t get a chance to battle with it much

Volo is still a villain. he’s causing the “frenzies” that Akari and Ingo work together to fix. he’s trying to meet Arceus to end his “cursed, half-life existence”. He’s the only person in the museum who views their lives like that, literally everyone else is chill with it. He does have actual Giratina under his command

theres a few versions of Ingo and Emmet’s reunion we came up with but my personal favourite is “Emmet breaks in to steal the azure flute to meet Arceus to get Ingo back, gets caught. By Ingo.”

[sacredfire44]

Some of my followers seem to REALLY love my SVSSS fic ideas. I’ve got a few other rambling ideas, but nothing as coherent as I’ve previously posted. Anyone want them? Reblog or comment with ur preferences.

One I’ve already shared: Binghe notices an imposter in SQQ’s body. He doesn’t realize the imposter is his husband.

Some you all might enjoy:

1. My version of a Shen brothers AU, transmigration included.

2. Shen brothers, but Shen Yuan dies in the Qiu household and Shen Jiu uses demonic cultivation to pull off a Fullmetal Alchemist, binding Shen Yuan’s soul to Shen Jiu’s own body. Shen Jiu is on a quest to give Shen Yuan his body back so he can experience the world again. Shen Yuan would personally just like to keep his gege alive, please, and maybe pet Binghe’s soft fluffy hair just once. (Read more here)

3. Shen Yuan ends up in a Pokemon AU fanfic of PIDW where on top of all the OTHER crazy fantastical monsters and animals, Pokemon also exist in that world. Unfortunately, it does not follow Pokemon conventions. There are no battle-to-knockouts or health potions or pokeballs. It’s basically just more super-powered monsters, shitty author!

4. One of my personal favorites, it’s just a mash-up of #2 and #3. Shen Jiu and Shen Yuan sharing a mind while in a Pokemon AU.

5. Nicknamed “therapy cat Shen Yuan” and it’s just my take on Shen Yuan transmigrating, specifically as a spiritual cat. He’s originally a “pampered”(see: harassed, smothered, treated like a dress-up doll or a toy to play with and then put away when bored) house cat owned by Qiu Haitang. He and a poor slave boy he only knows as A-Jiu end up fleeing together, and somehow he finds himself bonded as his spiritual companion through the trials and tribulations that follow. Together they join Cang Qiong, cultivate to immortality, and ascend to Peak Lord! … of Qing Jing Peak… with the name Shen Qingqiu. FUCK.

6. Bingqiu Soulmate AU where soulmates have their minds link up when the younger soulmate turns 16. This was inspired by a different fic I read, but in that one Binghe hadn’t already gotten to know Shen Yuan as his Shizun. I wanted to explore how it would be different if he’d already built a mental image of SQQ in his head and fallen in love. Also, I want to note that due to mental voices not really sounding like ANYTHING, you get some lovely identity shenanigans when they first meet. Binghe is happy his soulmate agreed that they must be platonic, though, since he has already given his heart to his Shizun! (Luo Binghe Will Regret That)

7. My pride and joy, my newest and dearest baby. I decided to write a fic outline where the outsider POV of SVSSS was canon. That is, a no-transmigration AU where Shen Qingqiu suffers a qi deviation that ACTUALLY fucks up his memories and completely changes his personality. (Oh, and Qiu Jianluo was a half-demon. I’m sure that won’t be important at all.)

Please please please please please ask me questions, request specific scenes, whatever! I’ve been struggling with starting any scenes lately, despite having the inspiration and motivation. But scene requests seem like a fantastic place to start.

[esprei]

is there any specific reason why you gave emperor!volo the solgaleo hair piece? did he end up interacting with solgaleo at some point/does he know it exists? love ur design btw he serves

yes! it's basically his ace pokemon in the au :D he's got both the ultra beasts and the solgaleo/lunala line on his side/under his command (cynthia is in the au as well and she has lunala i can show a little preview of her because i don't think i have yet - i drew her a looong time ago and never finished her ref sheet she's a wip 😭)

thank you so much btw!

[destinywillowleaf]

this might already exist (and if it does please send it my way i want to read it) but XY AU where language barriers exist.

Ash is fluent in Japanese and has decent Galarian (Iris and Cilan helped fill in a lot of gaps from school).

Serena is Kalosian but went out of her way to learn Japanese after that summer camp.

Clemont is fluent in Kalosian, has passable Galarian, and knows enough Paldean and Japanese for challengers (but usually uses a translation tool anyway. which is currently stuck in the gym thanks to Clembot).

Bonnie only knows Kalosian and a couple random Galarian phrases.

i might make loose comic thoughts on it but like. ash shows up in kalos with 0 knowledge of the language aside from MAYBE a few basic things from Alexa like "hello" and "i want to battle". two people with wildly different accents trying to speak the same secondary language until serena shows up and can more effectively communicate some thoughts that get lost in translation. bonnie and ash half-miming to communicate early on but still getting equally excited about pokemon things. an extra layer of "ash does not know miette is flirting with him" cause she thinks he knows at least some kalosian. do you see my vision
