#the klefki helps her carry her keys because she never has enough free hands

[gemsbian]

I went ahead and updated Frankie's reference! She now officially has three pokemon. Though, unlike with her first two partners, she wasn't the one who named the Klefki

Instead, Criminal got that nickname from her coworkers after an unnamed incident took place (we don't have to talk about it)

Despite being in the Explorers, Frankie does not battle and will get offended if people try to battle her! This is because her Magnemite and Togekiss are service pokemon who primarily help her with day to day tasks. There's more information about them here for anyone interested ^^

Overall, Frankie is a weak link when it comes to being a trainer, but she makes up for it by being an absolute menace in every other department. She is also not afraid of hand to hand combat, though she's notably not very good at it

What's the favorite pokemon of each person in the main cast of THH? Why?

Pokémon? While we all know some stuff about pokemon, I think we have a fair chance at thi-

W-what tHE FUCK?

You are severely under qualified to answer this ask!

… and who are you?

I guess people would know me as the one referred to as “Honorary Mod Kirigiri”, though the honorary part seems unnecessary now.

In any case, none of you know Pokemon as well as I do, so I’m taking the reins on this ask. Some characters will have more in depth reasoning than others, but I had some reason at least for all of them.

Long post, so below a cut.

I suppose I should note that I’m treating this ask as if it’s a Pokemon they have, as in Pokemon exist for real in the world for them and not just as a game. Sorry if this isn’t what you meant, but the opportunity is too good to pass up on.Makoto Naegi- RockruffRockruffs are generally seen as sociable and persistent in what they do. If there’s any claim that Naegi has to his character, it’s his unending optimism and hope, as well as how easily he gets the other characters open up to him. Even more reserved or less sociable characters like Togami or Kirigiri talk to him more openly then they seem to with others if you pursue their free time events enough. Also helping is Rockruff’s appearance, which I think few can deny that they resemble one another.Honorable mention to Eevee for Naegi though. Naegi having a normal type would be a given with how plain he is. Rockruff just barely beat it out though.Sayaka Maizono- JigglypuffI doubt this needs to be explained too much. I hate being so obvious with this one, but it just works really well, even in ways you may not have thought of. Maizono mentions how hard she’s worked to achieve her dream when you talk to her, and at the same time I can’t help but think about the Jigglypuff in the earlier episodes of the Pokemon anime. You know, the one that never gave up on it’s hope that someone would stay awake to hear it sing?I won’t deny it being a strange connection, but it kind of works. And if nothing else, they have the shared passion of singing.Honorable mention to Espurr because… well, the psychic joke was translated as esper in the version I saw.Leon Kuwata- MonfernoLeon seems like the type that would get into trouble for causing mischief, or “monkey business” if you will. Monferno is the perfect balance of still being cute enough that it would probably like to prank others, while still having the badass appearance that Leon would want in a Pokemon.It having hands it can use would be helpful as well to his talents and interests. Whether it’s trying to get Leon to actually practice for once in his life by trying to encourage him by throwing some baseballs or going along with his dream to be the ‘Ultimate Musician” by trying to play with him, I think Monferno fits well as a partner for him.Chihiro Fujisaki- RotomThis was a toss up between Rotom or Porygon, but ultimately I picked Rotom. The idea of Rotom getting Chihiro to laugh when feeling down or stressed out by possessing some kind of appliance or device was too good to pass up on in my eyes. 

Rotom would be able to help Chihiro by doing that as well. Need help with a program? Rotom’s got you covered. Maybe there’s physical damage? Rotom can find that too and help find a way to fix it, if it’s possible.As mentioned before, honorable mention to Porygon. It would definitely be on Chihiro’s full team if I were doing that.Mondo Owada- Klefki…*Insert fierce key jingling here*Kiyotaka Ishimaru- RuffletIshimaru was one of the harder ones to pin down. My first thought was a flying type, but which one? Then, I found Rufflet and Braviary and knew that was it. For one, appearance wise, the feathers on its head reminded me of his hair. But it was the Pokedex entries that really got it: they never back down from a fight, taking on opponents much stronger than them without fear.He doesn’t get into physical fights, obviously, but Ishimaru is very willing to stand up for those he believes in or the morals he follows. Braviary, the evolved form of Rufflet, it willing to get into fights for those it considers it’s friends. While those fights would more likely be in verbal form in Ishimaru’s case, I think a Pokemon with that dedication is the kind of Pokemon worthy of being with the Ultimate Moral Compass.

Hifumi Yamada- SmeargleYamada is an artist, as is Smeargle…. There really isn’t any more to this pick beyond that. It just kinda goes together.Moving on

Celestia Ludenberg- GothitelleI think appearances alone could establish why this one would be Celeste’s; it goes with her aesthetic perfectly. But even beyond that:

Gothitelle is a psychic type.Celeste is a gambler.

While I don’t doubt she has an amazing amount of skill on her own, I think that the two of them together would be quite a tag team. Gothitelle is able to see the future, which could allow Celeste preparation time before going against her opponents if nothing else.(Also, sad HC: Gothitelle are able to see the lifespan of their trainers and cry when they find them out. Imagine the killing game still happening and it finding out her time left is short, and just bawling. All the while, Celeste can’t figure out why)

Sakura Ogami- ToxicroakMaybe not the fighting type you were expecting, huh? Well, obviously she needed a fighting type given her martial artist background, but I couldn’t quite give up the idea of also incorporating her death to it too. Thus, the only poison/fighting type for Sakura. I’ve no doubt Toxicroak could more than keep up with Sakura in terms of training.

Personality wise, it fits as well. It’s Pokedex entries describe it as usually laid back and willing to go with the flow, but fiercely determined when in a fight. I fell that’s Sakura’s personality as well: while she never entirely gives up her stoicism, it does drop off occasionally when she allows herself to have some fun.

Kyouko Kirigiri- EspeonPerhaps not the most unique Pokemon to give her, but I’m hard pressed to deny that Espeon really fits her. Appearance alone, Espeon matches Kirigiri’s color palette really well, and it’s movements carry the same amount of grace Kirigiri seems to have. I think Eevees in general would fit with her family; they’re super adaptable to the needs of them and their investigative styles.

Espeon, being a psychic type, has the intelligence necessary to keep up with her and her deductions and could assist in the investigation. Espeons also have the ability to sense danger, which can be seen as similar to Kirigiri’s ability to sense death approach. It also is fiercely protective of those it’s loyal too, which would be helpful in the dangerous job that Kirigiri has as a detective.

Honorable mention to Absol. It’s ability to detect natural disasters could manifest in other ways, such as the death sensing ability.…Also honorable mention to Detective Pikachu. I haven’t played the game myself yet, but the other mods found it funny.

Yasuhiro Hagakure- ExeggutorWe’ve got the character who’s more than likely a stoner, and a pokemon with the typing of grass/psychic. How can I not pair them up?

His fortune telling would probably require a psychic type anyway, so why not?Honorable mention to Slowbro for also being a very Hagakure seeming pokemon. Weed tree just wins over it because… weed tree.

Byakuya Togami- SerperiorSerperior has that smug sense of greatness befitting of one of Togami’s Pokemon. It’s got the elegant look that would probably be required to be a Togami Pokemon, as well as a massive amount of power to back itself up. Also, I mean, it’s called Serperior, so it’s fitting based on that alone.

Honorary mention to Persian. It just seemed a little too obvious. Definitely would be on a full team of his though.

Aoi Asahina- FloatzelI will go beyond Mod Kokichi’s reasoning of the float is has looking like a donut and it liking fish.

Giving Asahina a water type is a no brainer given her love for swimming, so many water types could work. Ultimately, my reasoning for this one is because of it’s notable ability to save other from drowning using it’s floats. I think she’d benefit from having that kind of partner with how often she’s in the water.

Touko Fukawa- MimikyuFukawa was probably the hardest to come up with one for. I settled on Mimikyu for one key reason:

They both hide a part of themselves for the safety of others.

For Fukawa, that’s obviously her murderous other identity, but for Mimikyu, it’s true form has been known to and people into states of shock, or at worse, death. I think they’d form some kind of bond over that fact and accept that part of one another.As for Genocider… well, I don’t have anyone specific in mind for the moment aside from they have claws. A Zangoose or a Sandslash perhaps?

Mukuro Ikusaba- BanetteI admittedly don’t know much about her, given that I’ve only seen the first game and the anime and nothing else. But Banette seems like a fitting type for part of the pair that sent the world into despair. Banette is a Pokemon filled with pure hatred and contempt, and I think that would be a Pokemon capable of bringing the despair Junko wanted so much.

Also it’s voodoo doll theme fits in with her death.

Junko Enoshima- Zweilous

Most of Junko’s team would probably be the cutesy yet powerful type Pokemon you might expect from someone like her, but I also thought her having something unexpected like this would be great. Who would expect the fashion model to have the death and destruction bringing dragon?

It’s destructive nature would be perfect for helping to spread the despair it’s master yearns for so much.
