[Image ID: Digital art of a hybrid pokemon, volcarona and dragonair. It stands on its insectoid legs, long tail curling up in the air behind it. The orb on its neck just below its head glows brightly, and it glances down at it, orange frills on its head spread. /.End ID]

StS x Pokemon AU brainstorming stuff

Now I'll have to publicly share some flow of thoughts rambles, I've been accumulating for an year now.

Bless @ectogusher for listening to my rambles, and @doodlingwren for busting my door open to finally share what I got.

Excuse me as I talk in my notes as if these things were like a guide/romhack shit

All under read more bc it gets long c:

Here's the main skeleton of this whole deal-

Sanctuary = Its own region. No new fakemons, but it's a sizeable piece of land that has gathered up a wide variety of various species found across the globe. This worldwide thing also influences the type of trainers and people from all over the world going there. If we were to touch on the subject of game mechanics: There would be most of them (Mega evolutions, terastalise, Dynamax even Paradox pokemon forms) further showing how mysterious and mythical this region is.

PC - Seiya / Shoko Rivals - Seiya -> The other bronze boys / Shoko ->The other saintias

With Ikki being the Silver-esque type of rival, meanwhile Shiryu/Hyoga/Shun all follow the same line of friendly rival archetype. I still haven't thought that far on the Shoko route.

Other prominent NPCs:

Professor Shion: Former gym leader, he was once offered the champion title but refused it. Claiming that his passion was in research and studies, rather than the battlefield. Due to stepping down from battles, his friendship/relationship with Dohko has strained over time. Shion is the one who brought Mu to Sanctuary down the line.

Schoolkid Kiki: Catching Tutorial NPC. He can be usually found at the Pokemon School in Mu's city. He will inherit Mu's mantle down the line. The pokemon he uses in the tutorial is a Noibat;

League Chairwoman Saori Kido - With Julien Solo and Hades coming in as other seemingly "investors" on the project

Gym leaders: Most of these guys' aces aren't fully evolved, bc they chose to keep them like that. Yadda yadda friendship boosting their favorites.

Mu: Sinnoh - Dragon - Dragonair

Aldebaran: Hoenn - Ground - Rhydon

Saga/Kanon: Alola - Water - Gyarados (Saga)/Kingdra (Kanon)

Deathmask: Kalos - Dark - Murkrow

Aiolia: Sanctuary (native) - Electric - Electabuzz

Shaka: Kanto - Psychic - Alakazam

Dohko: Johto - Fighting - Mienshao

Milo: Unova - Bug - Volcarona

Elite fours:

Aiolos: Sanctuary - Fire - Charizard

Shura: Galar - Steel - Metagross

Camus: Sinnoh - Ice - ? (Either Froslass or Glaceon)

Aphrodite: Paldea - Poison - Roserade

Champion - ??? (the plot twist is that: the PC wouldn't fight the 3rd gym leader, bc Saga was pretending to be the champion. When he really wasn't chosen or appointed to that position)

Evil organisations: They definetely do exist, and they are obviously tied to the aforementioned Julien and Hades figures. But I still haven't thought that far.

Worldbuilding notes:

Muvians are similar to draconids (introduced in ORAS), a small tribe that originates from Sinnoh and has some deep connections and bonds to dragon types. Which means, any muvian = dragon type specialist or in the very least owns one. Muvians are also meant to have a foot in aura sensitivity (see characters like Lucario, Riley, etc.);

Sanctuary's League has a rampant corruption problem, as seen by what I mentioned about Saga. The two evil organisations are basically being pitched against one another, as smokescreen for the real problem. Their current champ is this sort of "elusive" figure. There hasn't been a proper champion in a long time. And yet, according to paperwork and the system, it states that the role is currently filled by someone. Anyone that isn't tied to Saga's schemes is left in the shadows, even those that allegedly should be the closest to him (Aiolos for SURE has no clue of what's going on. He's probably hiding or declared missing in action during the events, and only shows up when the time comes to challenge the E4).

There's a small timeline:

ND folks (a good few years into the past) -> Classic folks -> Omega folks (+20 years into the future)

In ND's setting we see how odd and hapharzadly the League was instated in the region. Which sets up the perfect grounds for Saga to exploit down the line;

Shion and Dohko are recently turned gym leader here. Mu comes onto the picture a good few years after ND's events; In a way, since Tenma would be the PC here and Alone his rival. It could be the Red vs Blue type of ordeal.

In Omega we'd see how the League is trying to remedy its reputation & amend for Saga's schemes, with an entirely new set of gym leaders and League members. + Former league members can still be found and fought in the post game, Silver/Gold style.

Individual notes:

Mu - Obligatory pokemon Aldemu food

Mu used to own a Gible and Alde once owned a Trapinch, at some point they traded pokemon. So now, Alde has a Garchomp in his personal team and Mu has a Flygon;

Mu's battle team against young trainers has a Swablu, which is used as a messenger to carry mail exchanges between him and Alde;

Mu LOVES pokemon dolls and has a huge collection of it. In the post-game: PC can find Mu and Alde on a date at the region's big mall, with them looking at a shop's display window. Mu gets mad at PC for ruining his date, but would give out his pokegear number;

Aldebaran -

Aldebaran gym's city is also where the pokemon day-care can be found. He may not run it, but he often helps out the elderly couple currently in charge of it;

In the post-game: After adding Mu's re-match call number. Alde can ba found on the route between his and Mu's towns, he was on his way to take a meal for him, and he also shares with PC that they bought the doll in the end

Saga/Kanon -

PC doesn't really get to fight for the 3rd gym badge. Rather, it's simply handed out by Kanon, who approaches them to talk about how the leader hasn't been seen in so long;

Saga's "fall from grace" comes from a humiliating match against Aiolos, originally fighting for the E4 member promotion which he lost. Despite the clear type advantage;

It's left implied that these two were meant to be gym leaders, the matches would have been double battles.

Deathmask -

DM gym's city houses a Game corner (Casino) and a contest hall. First sighting of an E4 member is Aphrodite, who introduces PC to them;

DM is a sore loser AND has no qualms with cheating against his challengers, if it means he gets to maintain his "streak". In the battle against PC he would use an overleveled Crawdaunt;

In the post-game: PC will get a hint from Shaka's radio talkshow mentioning DM's whereabouts, in the city's underground game corner;

DM's strength is everything philosophy = DM's entire personal team consists of very strong dark types with some form of 4x weakness;

DM is well in kahoots with Saga's schemes;

Aiolia - TBA I haven't thought anything for him c':

Shaka -

Shaka gym's city is meant to be the largest and the most advanced one (Saffron and Goldenrod cities style), it has the region's largest shop for expensive and important items. It also has a radio tower, which broadcasts various programs (professor talk, loterry ticket, poke flute, etc), Shaka hosts a talk show where he commentates on PC's progress, all while actively putting down/poking fun at his defeated colleagues. Under specific time slots, he will have a guest join him, which will be an exchange between the various league's members. But the most important one is where he will be joined by the region's "champion";

Shaka is a fan-favorite across several trainers in the region, with many NPCs commentating how much they love tuning in to hear him talk & so on;

Shaka is also well known for his psychci prowess (Sabrina style);

Shaka is also deeply involved in Saga's schemes;

Dohko -

Dohko gym's city also houses the pokéathlon. With Dohko going undefeated in all the challenges, until PC comes along;

Post-game: to get Dohko's number for rematches. PC has to visit Shion after obtaining a certain number of species then, take a mail key item to Dohko. And THEN they get Dohko's number. it's a love letter, an invitation for some tea at noon

Milo - TBA I haven't thought anything for him c':

And "unfortunately", that's all I got x)

I suppose this is a lot better than trying to find all my notes scattered around all over the place. Hope it makes sense or that in the very least, it's fun to read through.

RN I focused on the classic folks bc it's the one I've been working and thinking of for the longest time.

TWST X PKMN: Scarabia

Heartslabyul - Savanaclaw - Octavinelle

Pokemon have appeared at NRC due to a potion mishap, no one knows how long they'll be here, but for the moment, they haven't been causing any problems...

Kalim: He wakes up to the sound of happy cries in his room. He sits up, half asleep, and stares at the trio of pokemon with two of them dancing around the third. Maractus, Bellossom, Volcarona.

Maractus is a cactus pokemon that lives in the desert and loves to dance, it also emits a sound like maracas when it does. Kalim likes to dance and will cheer Maractus on as it does so. Bellossom is another mon that loves to dance, it also loves to do so in the sun. Scarabia (and Kalim) is full of sunlight, so it's a win-win for the little grass type. Volcarona is the embodiment of the sun, so sunny Kalim is a perfect match of it, much to Jamil's displeasure.

Jamil: Honestly, he just stares at the trio of pokemon waiting for him outside his room. Although, one of them hands him a cup of coffee on a tray, so he guesses they're fine... for now. Serperior, Dragonair, Indeedee (M)

Serperior is a very regal pokemon and is known to stop people and pokemon in their tracks with a single glare, kinda similar to Jamil. Dragonair is another serpent pokemon who is told to be able to change the weather in an instant with the orb on it's neck, if Jamil's tired of a party, Dragonair changes the weather to end it quickly. Indeedee (M) is there because Jamil needs a break (help him) and Indeedee's dex entry says: This Pokémon never leaves its Trainer's side. It predicts their actions with its psychic power and takes care of their day-to-day needs, so it's able to predict what Jamil's going to do and does it for him. All three pokemon band together to keep Kalim and his pokemon under control so Jamil can take a nap or relax

[seethroughdragoneyes-blog]

     I’m still thinking about the pokemon AU for Hanzo and all of his Pokemon since he’s a rich boy and probably bought a lot of them but still loves the hell out of them. He mostly specializes in Dragon and Flying types. Bold is the ones that Hanzo battles with--his Pokemon have very high EVs and maxed out IVs. To get a child of one of his Pokemon is expensive as hell

Slyveon Charizard (Mega X) Gyarados  Aerodactyl Dragonair x 2 Dragonite Murkrow  Flygon Altaria  Milotic Salamance Garchomp Cofagrigus  Haxorus  Hydreigon  Volcarona Dragalge Tyrantum Aurorus  Goodra Noivern Primarina Kommo-o Pheramosa 

and probably because he has connections and the money 1+ of these legendaries: Articuno, Latios, Dialga, Giratina, Zekrom, Yvetal, or Lunala, but doesn’t battle with them.

[shinyzango]

Ok gonna answer these in a single post because I’m lazy.

Lucky Egg: Your gym theme/team

Hobboy... it would just be fire and/or dragon themed honestly. Not sure about the team, too tired to think it up right now.

Friend Ball: Favorite Gen V Pokémon

Volt Switch: Favorite Electric types(s)

Pokédex: Your perfect/favorite team

The main member is obviously a Zangoose. The rest of the team changes depending on the region. I’ll have to revisit my main team in the future.

EDIT (I mistook the gen. still gonna leave the Gen2 favs)

This time I do have a favorite. And that’s Zangoose :V other favs are Absol (very close to Zangoose as in preference) Blaziken, Shiftry, Crawdaunt and Tropius.

Gen2′s favs. Typhlosion, Umbreon, Ho-Oh, and Xatu. Also Girafarig has a special place in my heart since he was my very first legit Shiny I found.

Apricorn: Favorite Fossil Pokémon

It’s actually a tie between Kabutops and Tyrantrum.

Shadow Ball: Favorite Ghost types(s)

Chandelure, Trevenant, Mimikyu and Aegislash.

Draco Meteor: Favorite Dragon types(s)

Dragonair, Noivern and... does Mega Charizard X count?

Master Ball: Favorite Legendary(ies)

Ho-Oh, Reshiram and Solgaleo. If Ultra Beasts can be included here, Imma add Buzzwole to the list too.

Cherish Ball: Favorite Gen IV Pokémon

Luxray, Chatot, Lucario, Gallade and Gliscor. Can’t really choose a fav, again.

[floaromaxtowns]

StS x Pokemon AU brainstorming stuff - Electric bogaloo

Continuing from here!

Today I mainly cooked some teams! @doodlingwren !

Mu

mostly a recap of what I said in the original post + some other stuff I've thought while working on these

1st battle

Swablu is used as messenger to carry mail between Mu and Alde

Re-match

Dragonair is Mu's ace;

Roaring Moon = Probably a creature that Mu's tribe had many tales surrounding its existence (or something that resembled it). Which led Mu into capturing this Paradox pokemon.

Aldebaran

1st battle

Cute and small pokemon mostly consisting his team? Yes. Probably took them in from his time working at the Day care center.

Re-match

Swamper may have originally been his starter pokemon, but his current ace is Rhydon;

Saga

Only Champion/final battle

Saga's team being specifically made to take down Aiolos, something he has been working on since his humiliating defeat? Check that, yes;

I wanted Saga's team to be mostly water surface level creatures, in order to really show the difference between his and Kanon's teams.

Deathmask

1st match

PC probably would come across many Murkrows spread across the city. Although, not relevant to the battle. It would be left implied that DM's Murkrow is the leader of this whole murder of bird pokemon;

Way too overleveled Crawdaunt for the battle.

Re-match

Fun fact: When I FIRST thought of this AU, I had originally thought of DM's ace to be Spiritomb rather than Murkrow. BUT ultimately, I'm sticking with the bird as I feel like there are some fun things that can be done with it;

DM's Drapion is meant to be a match with Dite's Skuntank;

Characters with whips = most likely treat their pokemon really bad. Hydreigon with Frustration.

Aiolia

1st match

As the 5th gym leader, I feel like Aiolia's team is meant to teach/show trainers how to come up with combos between their pokemons. If Volkner can have an Octillery in his team then Aiolia is allowed to have a big bird.

Re-match

Electabuzz is his ace! It's meant to match alongside with Aiolos' Magmortar.

Shaka

1st match

Re-match

I've cycled between Hatterene and Starmie as Shaka's aces in the past, settled for Alakazam in the end;

Guilty as charged Shaka to follow Saga's plans = Malamar;

I feel like some NPCs could have shiny pokemon on their teams. Shaka being amongst the most important NPCs with one on their team.

Dohko

1st match

Re-match

Old man Dohko gets ancient pokemon. Insert here the dinosaurs joke-

Milo

1st match

Re-match

Volcarona is his ace, it's meant to match with Camus' Frosmoth;

Shame that the only scropion pokemon we have, loses its bug type upon evolution. So, I guess he can get an arachnid as the closest best option-

E4 members

Aiolos

Hurr hurr Aiolos = popular = Charizard;

Magmortar is meant to be a match with Aiolia's Electabuzz;

I know it would tempting to toss in here Rapídash-- BUT given his position, I felt like that would be a little too underwhelming pokemon for him to have. Probably owns one during the story mode;

Shura

Shura is another notable NPC with a shiny pokemon in his team, and it's none other than his ace pokemon;

I know it was very tempting to slapping him with Aegislash. BUUUT lore reasons suggest that Aegislash is really meant for characters that fill the role of leadership. Which is something Shura lacks.

Camus

Despite the Frosmoth match with Milo's Volcarona. Camus' ace would be Froslass;

Probably the first E4 member PC will hear about through rival Hyoga. I'm sure there would be a connection between them, I just haven't thought that far yet.

Aphrodite

Aphrodite's ace is Roserade;

Aphrodite's Skuntank is meant to be a match with DM's Drapion;

5 out of these pokemon are used in the pokemon contests Master rank competitions by Aphrodite.

Roserade = Beauty Glimmora = Clever Skuntank = Tough Gengar = Cute Nidoking = Cool

Bonus:

Here's

Kanon's team

Deep sea or open waters creatures = Kanon's team. With Kingdra as his ace pokemon;

I broke my own rules here, bc I'm not really a fan of giving NPCs Legendary/Mythical pokemon. BUT Urshifu appears to be quite different from the other legendary creatures. So, for story reasons, Kanon gets his hands in a powerful pokemon (likely confrontation against Hades in the story wink wonk).
