If the crusaders played Pokémon, I just know that Kakyoin builds his team somewhat strategically, keeping type matchups in mind and teaching good moves to Pokémon he likes so he can use his favorites. He loves to collect and breed different Pokémon, and probably has several shiny Pokémon. Pokédex entries fascinate him.

Jotaro is the player who just uses whatever, and his Pokémon are just so high level that he gets by using brute force and doesn’t pay that much attention to types. Steamrolls through matches even when he has the type disadvantage. He catches a lot of water type Pokémon that he thinks look cool or remind him of his faves in real life.

Polnareff tries to just use whichever Pokémon he likes but gets into trouble at times when he doesn’t have diverse enough types. Please catch some more friends for your team, Pol. I promise your Escavalier (nicknamed Chariot) will be happy to have friends. He’s great at contests, though! (Even if he does burn a lot of poffins.)

Avdol has a fondness for fire types. If he plays any Gen 3 games, he always picks Torchic and nicknames it Magicians. Great strategic player but lowkey about it. Loves move combinations that work together (things like defense curl and rollout, sunny day and solar beam, rain dance and thunder) and would probably be amazing at competitive play.

Joseph gets frustrated when there’s routes you can’t access yet until you unlock more story aspects, but he finds the animation style and the music fun. He does know different pokemon, but he likes to butcher the names or call them all Pikachu to piss off Jotaro. He definitely shouts his typical “OH MY GOD” when his Pokémon evolve unexpectedly.

Pls. Ballet is how Kak keeps his figure. It’s how Pol is so graceful and quick. Avdol finds the breathing extremely relaxing. Jotaro thinks it’s a good way to keep active that’s not obnoxious like other sports. Joseph might be there to be a bit of a perv, but he won’t tell anyone that, and he finds himself getting real into it.

Kakyoin’s lean muscle and long limbs give him an excellent build to be a dancer. He always gets compliments on his form, and he’s very graceful. He has great rehearsal outfits, including some leg warmers that have cherries on them.

Polnareff loves the beauty of the movements— if they’d still have stands in a dance au, Pol is quick to remind anyone who might scoff at him doing ballet that “the word for a male ballet dancer is a cavalier! A knight! Courtly and gallant! Like me and like my Silver Chariot!”

Avdol finds the breathing and the stretches almost meditative. He enjoys the feeling of barre exercises, feeling the stretch deep in his muscles. He probably has some great leg warmers, too. He’s always early for any rehearsals so he can warm up.

Jotaro likes that ballet is challenging and intense without a lot of the loud crowds and everything that come with other sports. He probably couldn’t have gotten out of being a dancer since the old man was one and wanted him to continue the family tradition, but he enjoys it. You’ll often find him working alone in the studio when he wants time to think.

The studio has been passed down through the Joestar family, with Jonathan originally inheriting it from his instructor, William Zeppeli. Joseph definitely used ballet as an excuse to flirt with the pretty ballerinas when he was younger, and he’ll often brag that that’s how he met Suzi! He’s really happy that Holly took to it and enjoyed it, and that Jotaro continues that tradition. Joseph’s still in great shape, but he tends to teach more these days.
