Whole bunch of stuff

Some redraws of things from 8-10 months ago at the top, the bottom four images are the originals

Then some stuff of my wives Sycamore, Cyrus, and a Cynthia, most of them are based off of Pasio stuff cause I want them all to be friends to a certain degree

“Critically, X and Y are objectively bad Pokémon ga—“

Okay but did you stay up hours wandering the streets of Kalos pretending it was your home? Hm??

Did you weave your way through every single plaza and still get lost ? Wander through alleys just to see which trainers would spawn there?

Did you spend your time trying to get five stars in all the minigames?? Match the color of your poképuffs to the pokémon you were feeding? Visit the shops every day for new clothes? Battle your way through waiters to get Style Points? Talk to the citizens of Kalos, bike circles around Lumiose Tower? Did you hatch eggs for fun before you could even grasp the concept of shiny hunting, you simply hatched and hatched because you liked the pokémon and nothing more? Did you spend all night wondertrading just to see how many people across the world you could connect with, and what interesting pokémon they would give? Did you accidentally stumble across the Lumiose ghost girl prior to knowing she was in the game and nearly cry yourself to sleep that night you were so terrified? Did you cherish the random shinies you’d get through trade, regardless if they were hacked or not? Did you regularly visit Professor Sycamore just because you loved him and wanted to see how he was doing? Did you pummel the Elite Four time and time again not for the money but just to make yourself feel like a real champion and see the victory screen? Did you spend hours wondering who wrote that message on the time tables, waiting for an event that never happened? Did you race another person for a pokémon on the GTS? Did you spend hours making the perfect trainer PR video and constantly jump at the opportunity to show it off to some rando on the PSS? ?

Did you???? Did you?????

Arceus watching in distress as another version of Sycamore decides to take the, “be in a toxic relationship with Lysandre for a bit” option instead of the, “ability to mega evolve/be good at poke-battling” option

Since I'm playing Pokemon X over a decade after playing Y when it came out...

This is literally "good boy vs bad boy" lol

I didn’t realize so many people thought that “starter Pokémon” HAD to be like, three stage fire, water, or grass. Like sure, that’s what we see in game but it’s always been special circumstances?? The Pokémon we receive are rare and powerful species that are being studied by a professor (usually). Oak chose us specifically to be trusted with his new invention to carry on his life’s work so of course he’d give us reliable partner for this task. Elm trusts us to run errands for him and probably wanted more data on the Pokémon he had, encouraging us to try the gym challenge. Birch was being attacked by a wild Pokémon and asked us to save him, but after seeing the bond we formed decided to let us keep it. Rowan mistakenly left behind his briefcase which we used to defend ourselves against wild Pokémon, leading Rowan to see potential in us with our partners. Juniper is similar to Oak, she trusted us along with our friends to fill out the Pokédex and gave us reliable partners to help with that goal as well as be a gift for helping her. Sycamore has ties to our mom and has rather similar goals to to Oak and Juniper, these are kids that he specifically chose to carry out this work. Hala was most likely holding on to this group for Hau to choose his partner, but knew that he could help out another young trainer who was new to the islands. Leon outwardly gifts us and Hop these Pokémon as he has known us our whole lives, of course he’d want to start us off on the right foot. Clavell says that it is customary for new students to the academy to have a partner, so if we do not have one he gifts us one.

All of this to say, it’s really just for gameplay mechanics but also to explain how we’re able to get these rare Pokémon you can’t find anywhere else in the game. Most other trainers in universe obtain their Pokémon through other means, usually catching what’s easily available. The professor of an area isn’t handing out Pokémon to EVERY child that comes to them. In Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee we get a taste of what most trainers go through, encountering a wild Pokémon and it becoming our friend. Heck let’s look at Hop again, his starter is technically Wooloo, he’s had it since he was young and before Leon gave him another Pokémon

And I know in USUM the Ultra Recon Squad says that Poipole is a common starter for young trainers there but Ultra Space is also extremely unforgiving, to me it makes sense that adults would equip kids who wish to explore it with something that can defend them

I really didn’t mean for this to be this long but really there’s nothing that directly makes a “starter Pokémon,” it’s just whatever Pokémon you happen to start with, which could be literally anything
