Sotis holding their boyfriend’s soul…

[iruludavare]

{ ooc. I'll need to write a proper post on this at some point but! When Xerneas is awake and active, they present very much how they are depicted in snap

always bathed in light, almost blinding. You can visibly see the infinity energy they harbour pulsating around their body. In it's inactive form, this goes away, however the faintest blue glow can be seen coming from its antlers/other light blue parts of its body. They can transform into a ball of energy to zip around if need be (which hi, after pla and identical stuff with Arceus, only adds fuel to the theory that xerneas and yveltal seen in-game are a fragment of themselves made comprehensible so they can monitor/balance parts of the universe).

the only reason Xerneas wasn't like that in X was because they not only had just woken up after their fragment on earth was dormant for 1,000 years, but they were forced to wake up early to break free from their containment. }

me irl btw

[decidueyedreamerdetails]

One thing I keep constantly going over in my head is Sotis’ ability and moveset… I know for certain he has Oblivion Wing, that’s a given, and he starts out with Defeatist due to his personality…

However I’m not sure what ability that changes to when he finally grows more confident in himself - at the minute it’s Moxie, but I could make an excellent in universe reasoning for Soul Heart, but there’s probably also other good abilities for him to have that fit story wise…

That also leads to a moveset issue - his attack and special attack stats (actually an average of Yveltal and Decidueye’s!) are EXTREMELY similar, meaning he’s essentially a mixed attacker… except Moxie and Soul Heart would sway him to specialise in physical or special attack, respectively.

Yeah, there’s a lot of options I could go for, and I just genuinely don’t know which one is best…

[cheemken]

Knight we are complete opposites. You thought of a wholesome scenario/good end to the battle while I immediately thought of angst. Also your writing makes me feel so many emotions at once, because Hilbert burning the cape and getting rid of the connection she has with the other champions is just ough. And then he goes and puts his own jacket on her shoulders, practically telling her she’s where she belongs and she’s safe now

But yeah the E4 finally doing good and helping out their champion, and calling the gym leaders as well. All of em fighting the 7 people they thought were supposed to protect them. But now those same people are playing with the lives of The Hero’s of Unova, a gym leader, a Pokémon researcher, the old King of Team Plasma, and their Champion. But the people like Caitlin who were close to one or more of the champions are just devastated over their true intentions. They thought the Champions were good people but they’re trying to kill a group of teens/young adults over the fact that one of them won’t conform to their orders

Now where it differs from your scenario is that Iris and Hilbert lost. Despite giving it their all and having two legendaries on their side, Diantha and the Pokémon of Death proved to be to strong. And while the other Champions were outnumbered they showed all of them why they’re considered the strongest trainers in their regions. Now with no one in her way Diantha can show Iris why she should’ve never crossed her

God just imagine the E4 and gym leaders finally realizing the extent of what Iris was dealing with. And now the Champions are threatening them, telling them that if any information about this gets out to anyone then they’ll regret it. They’ll come for them and whoever else knows. They’ll come after their families. And someone gets mad and yells about how they’re bluffing and they’d never do that, that murdering someone famous and well known is to risky and they couldn’t get away with it. And Diantha just looks at them and says how she’s not lying, and if they need proof they could ask Iris what truly happened to Drayden

A worse ending though would be if the Champions thought it would be to risky to let so many people go. And how it’s time they truly establish their power throughout the world, by starting with getting rid of the Unova League :)

Yeah no I'm fine it's cool that's dope that's fucking amazing (absolutely losing it)

PLEASE CAN YOU FUCKING IMAGINE THEM FINALLY FINDING OUT ABT DRAYDEN CNMDNXND IMAGINE HOW DEVASTATED ALDER WOULD BE MAN, LIKE HE AND DRAYDEN GO WAY BACK AND NOW HE FINDS OUT HIS CLOSEST FRIEND HAS BEEN KILLED IM NOT FUCKING OKAY CNMDNDND

Like one of the Gym Leaders saying that yeah, and then Dia just smiles at them, Garde and Gar on both her sides still in mega form, she puts a hand on her cheek and shakes her head, "why, to even doubt me for a second... Well, it can't be helped, what did I expect from Unovans," she laughed, then she looked at them, that goddamn smirk on her face, her eyes half lidded, sight fixated on the entirety of the Unova League, "perhaps you'd finally believe I've no problems taking you all out when my darling Iris tells you about what happened to Drayden." And yo that just breaking Iris tho, like she's there holding tight on to Hilbert, tears brimming her eyes, and Diantha just fucking loved it, "speechless, my dear? Of course, silly me, you're probably still tired from that battle. Worry not, I'll tell them," and she just goes full detail on what she and the other champions did, how they killed the former Opelucid Gym Leader, how they didn't even have to raise a finger against him, and it shows how weak he truly was.

God imagine that fucking up the Unova League, all this time they thought Drayden died bc it really was his time, but it wasn't supposed to be, he was killed, and god they could all feel the rage bubbling just beneath their skin. Imagine Alder just fucking losing it, going all out attacking Diantha w all that he got, and the League did so too, battling the other champions with this newfound rage and desperation to stop them

Only for Diantha to be so fed up w it, she calls out Yveltal again, and everyone fucking stopped, Dia's there staring down at everyone, "these are the people you want to protect, am I right, my dear?" Eyeing each and every member of the League, "how pitiful. You're here giving it your all to protect them, but they couldn't even get the people of Unova to stop hating you." And like cbdmdn imagine that surprising the League tho, cause what do you mean Iris was hated by the people, she never told them anything. Then Diantha smiles again, turning to Iris, "how about I do you this one favour again, darling. I'm sure the world could live without Unova." Snapping her fingers, Yveltal flew from the ground, readying its attack, the League didn't know what to do anymore, maybe this really was it, that this is their last battle, their last moments together, and god that fucked them up.

But just as she was abt to command Yveltal to attack, they all heard a desperate scream.

"ZEKROM! BOLT STRIKE!"

The Deep Black Pokémon finally free from its confines, glided towards Yveltal, grabbing both its wings and attacked him with all its might, effectively knocking it out.

And it caught Diantha off guard. She forgot. She forgot. She fucking forgot. There were three of them.

Her own rage seeping from their cage, she growled, "Giratina! Shadow Force!" And god the body horror Cynthia is experiencing tho, Giratina taking over her body, transforming to the pkmn itself, but neither he nor Cynthia are in control. Vanishing in thin air, everyone was on edge, not knowing where the Sinnoh Champion and the Renegade pkmn were. Until..

"Zekrom! Behind you!"

Bianca called just in time, Zekrom turned and got hold of Giratina's neck, grip tight as it slammed him to the ground. Zekrom flew back to Iris and Hilbert's side of the field, watching Diantha's eyes go wide in shock, this was the first time Iris ever saw Diantha like that.

Then just bcmxnx Cheren calling Hilbert and Iris, telling them abt the DNA Splicers, how it's the right time to use it, on all three of their dragons. Iris hesitated, so did Hilbert, then N had told them it's fine, that Reshiram and Zekrom would be happy to become one with Kyurem again, just for this battle, just to save everyone else. If they want to win this fight, then they need all the power they can get. God just bcmdnd imagine Iris and Hilbert holding up the DNA Splicers tho, and all three of their dragons finally fused, becoming one once again, their true form, The Original Dragon.

And everyone could only watch in awe and terror just how imposing the Great Dragon truly was, and it's staring down at everyone, awaiting for its trainers' commands.

[ask-dawnanddusk]

From @sinnohsiblings Galadriel: Oh a Yveltal! How interesting to be raising an infant of such a vastly different talent than yourself. Have they shown any sign of their abilities yet?

"Yes, it's certainly shaping up to be a unique experience, but it's one I look forward to. I am both excited and nervous to raise her!"

"As for abilities, yes, there have been some slight show of powers she possesses, but nothing large yet. Some small gathering of energy, some slight glowing here and there. She's most active at, well, twilight hours, as to be expected considering her domain."

"There's been some draining of energy, mostly from plants. Considering that Twilight is a Yveltal, all of us have already prepared for the more destructive aspects of her abilities. Maksviah taught us how to divert what she drains energy from and how to safely block destructive blasts until she can properly control it."

"Aside from that the only thing she's destroyed so far was a pile of Leppa berries, haha!"

[trag1cbeanx]

Idc that this isn’t on schedule I still wanted to post this

Mainly just practicing shading with this one

Also made alt version for Shiny Yveltal

I love SOAD go listen to them rn >:}

[glossoholicc]

Gotta regret em' all!

(read bellow for more insight/comments about these!!)

Ouuggghh my GOD the universe did not want me to create these. I started Folly darkrai, then got sick with a nasty cold that I am still recovering from. THEN I get the most painful ear infection ever. The last image was made while I was in physical agony. I cried real tears.

Regardlessss... I really love Pokemon and Regretevator. My brain has been hardwired since the ripe ol' age of 4 to be obsessed with Pokemon. Every fandom I touch I think about trainer AUs or what Pokemon characters would be. So... this was inevitable. Everything I touch becomes Pokemon.

For those only following me for Regretevator, Roblox fandoms yanked me out of my Pokemon branding for everything. Which was good, i think. I used to represent myself with my fave mon, Maractus. Now I am my Roblox avatar. Ripe ol' age of 20 and all I do is roblock. amen.

I wanted to also write an extensive explanation for why EVERY character here is the Pokemon they are. Mostly because I know there will be people disagreeing with me (which is fine), but the goblin in my brain says "nooo people need to understand you 100% all the time". Sooo, here is a horrendously long essay about why I am objectively correct and you should trust me with all Pokemon related content ever (slash silly?). Does a lil' jigggggg.

(Basic Pokemon knowledge may be required to understand these things btw)

-------------------------

Folly Darkrai

- Obvious reason Folly would be a darkrai is that darkrai represents nightmares. It can cause those its near to have terrible dreams, and its signature move is Dark Void which puts enemies to sleep. Pair this with its ability, Bad Dreams, any opponent on the field that is asleep will take continuous damage.

- Darkrai is also illusive, and feared. It holds a similar energy to Folly. That energy being big bad scary oooo ahh scary.

- Literally the exact same color scheme as Folly. Similar shape language as well (big claws, jagged black bits, big evil eyeball, and a collar)

- Darkrai are interpreted as evil by characters within Pokemon media, but it is canon that they cannot control the nightmare giving aura they have. They can give others nightmares unintentionally, and aren't blood thirsting or villainous by nature. I feel this is a good nod towards Folly being in a similar boat. She can't help the situation she is in, and wasn't born evil.

Design Notes:

- I LOOOVE DARKRAI AND I LOOOVE FOLLY. she needed to be a pokemon I adore.

- The sweater was awkward to add onto her... because darkrai's body is already supposed to be like. a scary cloth. and they are so bulky. but I think I did okay?

- The hat looks awkward but I didn't include it that would have been messed up.

- nothing cool to say about dreamer she is just cutesy and rounder shapes.

-------------------------

Great One Xerneas

- Xerneas is a legendary Pokemon which represents life. It creates forests with its powers, and it can go into a "dormant" form where it is literally a white tree. Xerneas, and its counterpart, Yveltal, are not represented as inherently "good" or "evil". The whole deal with them is that life and death are a delicate balance that should be respected. I feel this was fitting because Great One is also a god, gave life to Folly, and became corrupt from jealously. Yeah I think that would disturb the natural balance of shit if the god of life got messed up.

- It is literally a big tree deer idk man.

Design Notes:

- I am sooo proud of this design... I think I cooked! Not much to say besides my friend said it looked like a old pokemon creepypasta and that is true.

- Xerneas is so fun to draw but antlers. suck. ewie.

- The drawing on the far right is inspired by that one screenshot.

- Hard to see but on the far right drawing I included the stomach wound. Didn't do it on the other fullbodies though because I forgot oops.

-------------------------

MR Minior

- Minior is a meteor pokemon which has two forms. In its ability "Shields Down", where it has a rocky, outer shell that protects it until it's HP gets too low. Once it is weakened, it will change into its "Core Form". Which is basically a cute little guy. But MR Minior is trapped in its "Meteor Form". Meteors relate to MR because of the Happy Home Party floor where MR summons meteors yay.

- Minior are very pathetic pokemon, they fall from the stratosphere only to die on earth. I feel this is similar to MR in the way like. MR is dead and pathetic in its currently state. Compared to what it previously was anyways.

- Minior literally descends from the heavens. Something something word play MR dead god blagh blah.

Design Notes:

- Minior already had eye holes on its design, but I used the cracks throughout its body to make the forehead hole and mouth. I think it was done decently well!

- If MR did go into "Core Form" I imagine it would just be whatever Regretevator devs intend MR's living form to be.

- Minior is so cute and round. I think MR is kinda cute in a round plushie squishmallow kind of way.

-------------------------

Pest Lokix

- Okay this one is purely based off of aesthetic but HEAR ME OUT.

- Lokix is a locust/grasshopper pokemon inspired by Kamen Rider, a japanese superhero franchise. Multiple characters in Kamen Rider have grasshopper/bug motifs. Pest is Japanese and also a bug. Ive connected the dots so good.

- Lokix is the first ever bug/dark type, and Pest would definitely being this typo combo.

- Idk guys just trust me okay

Design Notes:

- LOOOOK I KNOWWW. Pest is a beetle. Heracross is right there. BUT Heracross doesn't give PEST. Heracross is a round little blue guy and Pest is a weird little freak. Heracross doesn't hold the same intimidating aura as Lokix. And the other beetle pokemon, Rellor and Rabsca, are even further off the mark.

- I thought I was so clever having the antennae form mandible shapes.

- I love Lokix so much. Pest gets to be one of my faves as a treat.

-------------------------

Poob Pikachu

- Pikachu is the mascot for Pokemon, and Poob is the mascot for Regretevator! In a way, Poob is in a lot of promotional regretevator material.

- Very similar color pallet and vibes. The vibes being "little guy".

- Something could be said for pikachu being an electric type. In the pokemon franchise, electric types are typically associated with being "wild" and "fun". Poob is electric! Personality wise. And Poob would totally hook themselves up to shit they shouldn't.

- Social butterfly, Poob gets their energy from parties. Just like how Pikachu is shown to be able to absorb electricity and shit.

- Just cute. Thats it. Cute marketable guy.

Design Notes:

- I really like what I did with the ears on this. I like them being droopy... because of the hat.

- Poob's goofy little face looks natural on a Pikachus face, I think. Awesome sauce.

- I made the tail tip a half star shape because A: Poob genderless B: Party hat has stars. For those who dont know, pikachu have different tail tip shapes based on gender. Poobs gender is party!

-------------------------

Pilby Caterpie

- Guys do I need to explain this one.

- Caterpie is a caterpillar. A green one! Pilby is also a green caterpillar.

- Pilby and caterpie have eyes meant to cry. That one clip from the anime where caterpie has watery wet eyes is Pilby.

- Caterpie is a small little thing and Pilby is also a small little thang.

Design Notes:

- I made the little horn in the front the color of their hair because I didn't want to add even more clutter to the face.

- Headcanon that happy Pilby sways/wags their tail when happy. So caterpie pilby gets to wiggle their tail in happiness too.

- hungry hungry caterpillar.

-------------------------

Mach Tinkaton

- Tinktaton is a pokemon that wields a massive hammer, and beats others to death with it. Its hammer weighs over 200 lbs in canon, and Mach would totally be able to lift that weight. If not more.

- Tinkaton is also an exclusively female pokemon. Mach is a woman. Shrugs.

- Not much to say!!!! Big woman big hammer.

Design Notes:

- I think I made her look UGLY. I don't know what I like about my design. I guess the pose on the fullbody is sick af.

-------------------------

Infected Cubchoo

- I quite literally only did this for the aesthetic of the snot droplet. Thats it.

Design Notes:

- For some reason the regretevator wiki doesn't have a close up of the left side of Infecteds hat, only the right side. This made it difficult for me to draw the blue bunny.

- I contemplated adding hair at all. I decided to do so because Infected is one of the rare few haired characters. You can keep your hair. For now.

- I was contemplating Grafaiai as well, but I decided going the snot droplet route was better. But Grafaiai still works really well for Infected IMO.

-------------------------

Bive Absol

- Absols can uhmm.. ughh. Predict future events such as Natural disasters with their powers. So I think she would do this but her future predicting shit sucks. And she is paranoid from Absol related intuition.

- That's basically the only reason I thought of, but Bive is a simple character in concept so thats okay.

Design Notes:

- Freak woman Bive I love you.

-------------------------

That's all ty for reading I'm so tired goodnight

[fierykitten2]

I love how the combination of Wake and Leaves not being in any of Perrin’s photos of their trio members and the two of them being not only exclusively found outside Area Zero but also being event-exclusive kinda implies (to me at least) that the two of them escaped and decided to explore. I was having this conversation with myself while having my breakfast this morning (it’s 2 minutes past noon as I’m writing this so I’m sure I finished breakfast in the morning) and I was thinking that the two of them (as a result of being event-exclusive) have probably spent a lot of time outside Paldea but at the very least Wake (assuming it travels without Leaves, which is pretty likely given they’re version-exclusive) probably hasn’t got much further than somewhere in Kalos (not really sure how to fit this into the conversation but now feels like I good time to mention that even with the argument that there’s land between Kalos and Paldea the Teraleak showed that was meant to be in X and Y so I’m counting it as Kalos for the time being). I don’t see either of them scaling that cliff (despite Wake’s strong legs) but Wake can walk on water while Leaves is part Psychic and can probably Teleport (turns out I don’t take into account the ability to learn the move Teleport when I think about Psychic-types being able to teleport. As far as I’m concerned, they just have to be part Psychic to be able to teleport. Might explain why Jirachi and two of the Lake Guardians can use it illegally in the anime) and that thought made me realise it’s sad there’s no chance of them appearing in Z-A. What I think should happen in place of that is there should be an NPC in Z-A who mentions sightings of an unidentifiable (I mean they’re technically not in the Kalos Dex) Pokémon resembling a feminine-presenting Legendary from a far away region in either Southern Kalos or one of the seaside cities (I was thinking Shalour City because it was the first one that came to mind. I’d like to think that Wake followed the water and ended up there. Leaves probably felt like playing with its type advantage to Fighting or something). I mean the location they are rumoured to have been sighted in could vary per day and maybe sometimes they’re not mentioned to have been sighted at all (the implication there being they’ve gone back to Paldea for their event raids although this doesn’t have to coincide with a rerun of their event in SV. Would admittedly be pretty cool if it did though). I’m also thinking that because they’re version-exclusive it would make sense that only one of them has been sighted in Kalos. I’m thinking (because presumably there’ll be a “choose your version, X or Y” situation like how PLA makes you choose between the clans or something) that the NPC (or NPCs, maybe they’re spreading a whole rumour about it rather than just one person being like “I think I saw not-Suicune/not-Virizion in [insert location here]) could start off being ambiguous and describe stuff that applies to both Paradox Pokémon at first but then go into more detail after you’ve chosen a version to be loyal to (I guess colour-coordinating their original versions would mean if you choose X you get Leaves being described and if you choose Y you get Wake being described but I like the idea of doing it the other way round. Mainly because I prefer Leaves and Y but if you’re just looking at the Pokémon and not which versions they represent then Wake makes more sense with the blue X choice and Leaves makes more sense with the red Y choice plus Wake and X tend to get listed first while Leaves and Y tend to get listed second. Wake is my second-favourite Pokémon so it’s admittedly no big loss if I chose the Y option only to discover the mystery (Paradox) Pokémon was a big fluffy Walking Wake the entire time but I think I’d still prefer for Y’s Paradox Pokémon being Leaves)

It won’t happen but I can dream

[humanthatexistsrn]

no you don’t understand. x and y were the first pokémon games i, and a significant number of gen z, ever played. my bonds with my two best friends when i was little were almost entirely formed through bonding over these games. we didn’t notice how unfinished it was and loved every second of it. we didn’t notice how unfinished it was until we encountered zygarde, and went online to see if there was more to it and found out there wasn’t. i waited and waited for a pokémon z announcement - i played black and white 2 and heart gold while waiting, and would watch theory videos about what would be in it, or when they would announce it. i’d go to bed at night dreaming of playing it, and talking to my friends about it, and i’d dream of being in the pokémon world and befriending zygarde, and fighting xerneas and yveltal alongside it because it was just such a cool pokémon. and then they never announced it. oras are my favourite pokémon games but they didn’t fill the z shaped hole in my kid heart. by ultra sun and moon times, i gave up and forgot about it, besides feeling nostalgic whenever i heard about the leaked documents proving there was a plan for it. the shoe-horned in zygarde in sun and moon did nothing to help.

and now they announce a legends z game. no doubt a prequel to x and y. the amount of lore in x and y that didn’t get explored is mind boggling, and now we have a chance to finally see it. the king? the pokémon war? volcanion and magearna? diancie? zygarde’s battles with xerneas and yveltal? i’m sure there’s even more i don’t remember. and they even put the mega evolution symbol at the end - everyone’s favourite gimmick, the first to ever exist.

they’re finally going to give x and y a proper ending, a proper goodbye. and i couldn’t be happier.

[jadeazora]

PLZA Wishlist/Hopes, gonna divvy it up between both, past, and present/future:

Both:

Obtainable AZ's Floette

At least one new Zygarde forme. Imagine if it could go beyond Complete.

An underground area based on the catacombs (doesn't have to be mass grave tho)

Hostile rogue Megas being our rampaging Noble equivalent

Bring over (at least most of) the ORAS Megas

More Kalosian Megas, or potentially re-introducing Battle Bond as a "pure variant" of it (especially since Mega Evolution was mentioned to have terrible effects on the Pokemon.)

Yveltal being a threat to the city at large at some point, with a team-up with Xerneas to corral it.

AZ getting more story importance.

Letter "A" Legendary Pokemon, perhaps based on one of the Kalos League statues?

Past:

Malva, Sycamore, Lysandre, and Diantha ancestors (I feel like Sycamore or Malva's ancestor has the highest probability of being our main villain)

I feel like it's more likely to get his Floette here? It's gonna be a hundred and something years till it returns to him, we can look after it in the meantime!

Old starters getting new regional forms a la PLA

Going more into depth about the discovery and origins of Mega Evolution.

More lore on the war from 3000 years ago.

Future:

Set maybe a couple decades after XY at most rather than the far future. (Descendants would be cool, but I'm more interested in the characters we actually know tbh.)

Sina and Dexio sharing a joint professor role since they give you the Zygarde Cube in the Alola games. They could potentially carry on that research.

Vastly expands outside of the Lumiose we had in XY, further into Kalos. (I always wanted to explore the ruins of the Ultimate Weapon.)

Villain Sycamore or Malva. Or both. Like I said when I brought this up before, I don't think Sycamore would be evil, just misguided and let his guilt get the better of him. Malva is still more of a villain, and we need more lady main villains in this series. It's only really been Lusamine and Sada (if you played Scarlet), but this girl had hella potential in XY, and it's always been super frustrating to me that she got so little screentime.

The Flare scientist girls too! The only one of them that really got any slight fleshing out was Xerosic.

Diantha gets more story importance. She's another character who got majorly shafted in XY and deserves another chance!

Kalos starters with new Megas, secondary Kanto or Hoenn starters.

Potentially canonize Lysandre's survival from Masters here. It would be neat to see him get stuck with the same immortality curse AZ has, condemning him to live in and adapt to the world he lost faith in.

What are some of the things you all want to see? 😄

[goldensunset]

i’m sure this has been obvious to everyone on the planet ever since gen 6 dropped but

it’s so neat to me how her unique color scheme matches the box legendaries of x and y

(gee xerneas why do you get two purely aesthetic forms and yveltal is left with one)

shiny versions in particular add even more white (though they probably just kept her body white so that she didn’t look *too* different from other floette)

ik it makes perfect sense like. she probably looks this way bc she was revived by a machine powered by the energy of those legendaries who literally hold the powers of life and death. but like dang girl you are so Lore. queen. i need legends z a to cook so hard on the implications of this

actually what i like in particular is her flower which only has yveltal’s colors. but it’s the flower that gives her eternal life and power or whatever right?

^that violet entry is for the orange flower form but still something that caught my eye. girl can this tiny fairy type not even use fairy type moves on its own? what’s that mean. how bad does this species rely on flowers

what a cool pokémon. i hope she and az keep living forever. but also what if the aura trio get mad at some point and revoke their unnatural immortality privileges. the ones that countless atrocities were used to buy. idk
