Me acordĂ© de la existencia de Ă©ste cĂłmic que hice hace como 2 años asĂ que lo busquĂ© y me gustĂł y ahora lo voy a publicar aquĂ đ¶ïž
#I love this trio :]#they're so silly#also at that time I was obsessed with the dynamic of one idiot and one person with actual braincells#so Minior and Altaria are the result of that#though it was mainly because I thought making an usually happy and carefree pokemon a grumpy and annoyed one would be funny#also this is how Altaria and Minior met Victini#I'm sure there weren't any secret evil plans to that :)#fun fact: this was made for a roleplay group for Pokémon in which I roleplayed as Jigglypuff then Swablu and then Altaria#I'm planning on going back there soon :]#ari's epic pokeart#pokemon#pokemon comic#pokemon altaria#pokemon minior#pokemon victini

Hey so remember that time that I was like âso Iâm gonna come up with pokemon for some major Voltron characters, but Iâm gonna limit it to two each because what kinda maniac would do full teams for 12+ charactersâ?
Me. I am that kinda maniac.Â
Team Voltron in this post- Sincline plus Haggar and Zarkon later.
Lance Milotic [s] * Primarina * Gyarados * Swampert * Octillery * Lapras
Lance ended up with the single most evenly-typed team out of everybody I put here. The shiny Milotic is his signature pokemon but overall I can see Lance spending a lot of time with his team, both talking to them and grooming them. (if thereâs anybody on the team I can see doing really well in contests, itâd be Lance)
Milotic and Gyarados are natural choices given the implication, as Iâve discussed before, that Lance is only a few steps behind Keith while not being a prodigy, and thus, a hard worker- so him getting pokemon that are regarded as pathetic, looked-down-upon initial evolutions, and refusing to give up on them no matter what, and reaping the rewards with a show-stopping team.Â
Primarina arguably fits in for the same reasons (I remember when Sun/Moon started coming out, everybody dunked on Popplio) but with its final evolution being a ~beautiful mermaid~ thereâs also no way Lance wouldnât roll for that.
Octillery is a nod to Lanceâs own brilliant marskmanship as well as being stated to be a calm pokemon that enjoys being fussed over, and Lapras are stated to sing to find each other, good for the empathetic connector that Lance is as a person. The swampert is both an effective canceler of electrical attacks (as Lance is pretty dang adaptable all things considered) and a nod to his connection with Hunk, the Earth paladin.
Keith Charizard (Y mega evolution) * Absol * Talonflame * Aegislash * Minior * Arcanine
I feel like Keithâs team, outside of the obvious fire motif, would be more ranger-like than focused on battling; the feeling from his house in s1e1 and the way he so clearly enjoys both the hoverbike and the outdoors strikes me as someone who would take very well to having a team that can let him tear across an open expanse or soar through the air. Either way, gotta have room to roam- his team has some rather large members.
I imagine Keithâs not a very earnest trainer. Most of his team came to him rather than him seeking them out, and they have funny personal stories behind almost all of them. The only exception is Charizard, who he got as a starter Charmander and who stuck with him the entire time he was shuffling around the foster system.
Aegislash are stated to be servants of those it believes possess a âkingly spiritâ and that one in particular doesnât always listen to Keith, though it does sure seem interested in his welfare- it just sometimes disagrees with him on what that looks like. Heâs never known it as a Honedge or Doublade- and itâs been around as long as he can remember. Perhaps someone asked it to look after him? It certainly nannies him an awful lot.
The arcanine he found as a growlithe hiding under a car, but it didnât evolve until Garrison. Conversely the talonflame evolved really quickly; it was another adopted one (he found it after it hit a window and was able to nurse it back to health) I can see him using the talonflame more for exploration than for fighting.
Absol was a present from Shiro who thought they were similar-minded and could get along. (Câmon itâs a moody, well-intentioned prophet pokemon with flippy hair. I couldnât not give one to Keith) Itâs a little troubled but soâs he, so, they work.
Keith has no idea whatâs up with the Minior. It latched onto him during his year in the desert and refused to leave him. He kinda thinks of it as a kindred spirit since theyâre said to come from space and he feels pretty lost himself. (Kiddo you have no idea.)
Shiro Lucario * Skarmory * Mightyena * Umbreon * Scizor * Dusknoir
Veteran trainer who runs a tight ship, though not to his teamâs detriment. A mix of dark and steel types, mostly, suitable for the tough-as-nails Black Paladin whose fighting style definitely has some shades of âbrutally efficientâ. As much as Shiro is an honorable and empathetic type, when it comes to life-or-death situations he goes for the throat big time.Â
Thanks to his leadership, coordination and focus, they all made it through the missing year a bit beat up, a bit scarred, and pretty stressed- in particular his eevee didnât exactly... plan to end up in that evolution but it had to evolve in the sunless sterile environment of the arena.Â
Lucario is really nearly Shiro as a pokemon and I can see him sharing a very strong bond with it- the natural sense of justice, keen personal focus and that, for all of its strong instincts and wills, itâs a pack hunter that focuses on the idea of the group.
Skarmory is a pokemon said to refine its edge through experiencing hardship, battering its steel wings until it eventually regrows them and sharpens their cutting edge. Scizor fits in under that umbrella as well, since itâs another steel type and one that has to use its wings to thermoregulate, creating the image of an entity under pressure that has to regulate itself carefully. I sort of imagine during the missing year they spent a lot of time tanking for Shiro himself and for the rest of the team, and came out the most battered as a result.Â
Mightyena is another socially-motivated pack hunter, which, given itâs a dark type and thus allegedly âevilâ would implicitly strike a balance between honorable and pragmatic, which is very significant to Shiro.Â
Dusknoirâs a good sport, helpful and obliging, but Shiro sorta gets the creeps around it since he went into the missing year with only five pokemon (having given Keith his absol) and has absolutely no memory of when or where this one showed up and given its whole guide of the dead thing he sometimes wonders if itâs actually here for him in the not necessarily supportive sense of the term.
Hunk Donphan * Aggron * Bastiodon * Claydol * Golurk * Chansey
The donphan is his signature pokemon and primary companion- which matches his mentality basically perfectly as a relative slow mover that becomes virtually unstoppable once set on a single goal.
Hunkâs team pretty much embodies the dual nature of a compassionate protector of others with someone who will through-and-through mess you up if you tick him off or hurt his friends. Youâd better believe that chansey is ready to throw down at any time of day.Â
Aggron nicely embodies both with its propensity to restore and maintain its territory but also being a metal dinosaur that will protect that territory viciously.
Claydol and Golurk are more testaments to his curiosity and interest in technology. Hunk was the only one I gave a fossil pokemon, with the idea being heâs the sort of person whoâd take the time to carefully nurse a revived prehistoric creature back to health. In general, I think Hunkâs team would be in good shape, like, heâs the type who just really enjoys taking care of them. He never officially signed up for the league (hence his lack of a starter) but just sorta accumulated pokemon that he made friends with.
In his defense most of these guys were a lot smaller when he started out and sometimes his donphan forgets that itâs not the size of a lapdog anymore.Â
Pidge Rotom * Phantump * Porygon * Minun * Beldum * Cleffa
With only a single grass type, Pidge has the weakest connection to her element, but that much really makes sense- of the team sheâs probably the most distant from understanding herself. Her team is all first evolutions as well- sheâs got a lot of growing to do.
The rotom is both her signature and virtually never battles, usually hiding out in her laptop. Theyâre her best friend and avid confidant and she doesnât like to have them occupy something they canât talk to her through. (You bet your ass she has a Rotomdex. she built it herself)
Minun and Cleffa were gifts from her brother and her father respectively- Matt has a corresponding Plusle, and Cleffa because someone like Sam Holt who dedicated his life work to finding extraterrestrial life would be charmed by pokemon like the clefairy line that is rumored to have come from outer space. Pidge didnât have much interest in the âconventionalâ pokemon league and I imagine she only caught a few of her pokemon personally- most were from her family. Her mom got her Porygon partially in honor of her love of old-school graphics.
Beldum she caught all on her own! It was difficult- she killed an entire holiday- but sheâs gonna have a metagross. As. soon as she can figure out how to encourage it to evolve. So far itâs not buying anything. Sometimes her Rotom has to chase it away from her laptop so it doesnât try to dismantle her equipment. She has successfully trained it to fetch wrenches though.
Phantump is a new addition after her dad and brother went missing- theyâre the spirits of lost children and while Pidge didnât get lost as much as Sam and Matt did, I think that sense of being forlorn and isolated would lead her to quickly connect with a creature that felt the same way. By the time half of these babies grow up sheâs gonna be pretty terrifying.
Allura Diancie * Audino * Florges * Altaria * Mawile * Espeon
Diancieâs basically a given. Of course Allura has a legendary, of course itâs the pink princess coming into her own, of course Alluraâs team is mostly fairy types. Have you seen Mega Diancie? Tell me thatâs not an Allura look.
Audino is a healer, Florges is a pokemon that explicitly makes gardens for royalty, and Altaria being a dragon bird basically is the embodiment of âbeauty and grace and about to destroy your face.â
Mawile is also a nice testament to Alluraâs toughness and strength of spirit, while Espeon is more a nice allusion to her strength of mind- also putting her as a counterpart to Shiro as the two leaders of the paladins. A very beautiful team, and a very competent one.Â
Given Alluraâs sentimental nature, I can see most of her pokemon being old childhood playmates, even Diancie- her apparent love of the outdoors and Alteaâs climate would both imply that it wouldnât be hard to run into powerful pokemon. So her team has a very strong emotional bond and are able to trust each other implicitly.
Originally I was going to give Allura Xerneas and Haggar Yveltal, but I thought that Diancie was a better fit for Allura, and while sheâs OP, sheâs not that OP, at least- not that consistently so the idea is theyâre more entities that the two can call upon in times of need.
Coran Stoutland * Drampa * Probopass * Alakazam * Walrein * Carbink
Yes, I know what youâre thinking, and yes, yes I did.
That said Coranâs team is anything but a joke- he can and will cheerfully destroy you if youâre unprepared. His whole team is docile as sheep outside of combat, though- Allura has a lot of fond memories hanging out with that Drampa.Â
Others (the Alakazam, Walrein, and Probopass) are a little lazier but still certainly friendly.
The carbink pretty much had to be there as soon as I looked at the relationship the carbink advisers are said to have with Diancie in the movie-verse since itâs basically the relationship between Coran and Allura just with pokemon. I sort of like the idea that in-universe working with Diancie and the carbinks is just a very standard affair for the Altean royal family- as diplomats they formed alliances with the pokemon in their environment before moving into space.
His signature pokemon is the Stoutland, through and through- a long-lived wise pokemon cited as a protector of others and a creature that will go through great toil to protect others. Also itâs such a stodgy, respectable-feeling thing, you can just imagine it patiently trotting along beside Coran on his way around the castle.
