Do you have a favorite side character for any of your blogs? Someone who's shown up a couple times but isn't all that important in the long run?

WILSON!!! Wilson from battle-subway-ghost, also known as the lab assistant who periodically shows up (mostly in mentions)

They actually used to have a blog once upon a time, but its since been repurposed for other muses. I'm tempted to bring him back sometimes, but he'd definitely act very differently than before

Kura's Mentee is definitely a close second- mostly because he's rarely ever shown up period. Reallyyy need to focus on him a bit more now that I think about it!

Hi Indigo!

What challenges do pokémon coming back from the past face? Like at the sanctuary you're setting up

Squid i am so glad you asked ive been looking for an excuse to infodump about this for so long. this is under the cut cause i worry about it being long.

okay so the term "coming back from the past" is a bit...not quite accurate. for most pokemon at least!!

due to a recent insurgence in hisuian trait breeding programs, the vast majority of the pokemon in these programs that are coming into the sanctuary don't experiences many challenges in adapting because they've been born into the modern world.

now of course, there are some health problems. some people in their quest to breed hisuian traits back into the modern era have turned to inbreeding, which as we all know can cause so many genetic problems to crop up. many hisuian arcanine are having runt litters, some hisuian electrode have sap leakage which is bad for their health, qwilfish with underdeveloped spikes, typhlosion with stunted snouts and flames, sneasels with brittle claws, Samurotts with similarly brittle horns, and i could go on.

we do have a few ah- theyre called "old breed" hisuian mons? which is just a fancy word for saying hisuian mon that have slipped through wormholes or in some instances were taken from hisui into the modern era and put in my custody for the sanctuary. they havent had any chance to adapt or get used to modern era.

for those folks, their challenges are adapting to modern era, which will hopefully be negated by the historical accuracy of the sanctuary to hisui. fingers crossed!! another problem, is that for many of them, their food is a bit extinct. many small fish and bug mons that were never really classified no longer exist. so we have to find foods similar enough that they will accept them as new prey.

....there is one other problem i have learned about. with hisuian pokemon. in the specific case, where there is a hisuian pokemon in a pokeball that never passed away and was never let out. there is a very low chance that they can survive to modern era. but they are never secure. they cannot handle it, and become incredibly aggressive and warped in personality.

so far, as far as i know, this specific problem has only occurred once, with a Hisuian Zoroark who was known by the name "Dusk". he has since passed away.

🏰 - The muse talks about a place they haven't been in a long time

// (ask game!)

I haven't been back to Kanto a single time since I first left...... I really do miss it at times, I remember sneaking into the Safari Zone to watch the wild Pokemon- I probably shouldn't admit to that on here, haha! But it was nice. I don't remember much of it sadly, I moved away when I was still young.

Pelipper mail!

A simple package containing a pokéball!

A note is included: Hello Kyle! Thank you for ordering from me! I added the engraving free of charge as my first customer, so I hope you and Mama enjoy it!

-Squid

Oh!!! Oh gosh, this is perfect, thank you!!! The craftsmanship is AMAZING. Like. Holy heck. This might just do it! I'll show Mama tomorrow, I think Silvie might be about old enough to get a ball herself as well.

8. What were you doing before you fell?

I was tending to the garden around Mother's cabin. It was another one of the Fates' cruel jokes. The shears slipped and I fell right onto them.

Normally when I died I'd black out for some indeterminate amount of time, wake up in the Pool of Styx, dry the blood-red water from my hair, and get going again.

But this time, I didn't black out.

Everything went white.

The pool I awoke from wasn't the red I knew.

And... I was here.

Thunder Continent - What's something that you think is cool about your species?

I can fly!

[squid-pkmnirl-hub]

Sorry Volo, your plan got hijacked by an evil Budew. Yeah it's canon to the blog's universe now. No, she won't succeed either.

[battle-subway-aftershow]

Masters - What's a canon character that you'd like to see a Pokemon IRL blog for?

Uhhhh. uhhhh fuck. A lot of the canon characters I'd want to see have already been made. Are there any Team Rocket blogs out there? (Standalone or together as a group! I am NOT picky I swear)
