#primarina just fits nene absurdly well and I think giving her a hatterene is the funniest possible choice I could make

[apotelesmaa]

My initial off the top of my head wxs Pokémon partners match up would be

Nene - primarina/rotom/hatterene. Primarina is self explanatory, the rotom was originally rui’s but it possesses robonene so it’s hers now, and hatterene…

Emu - bewear/mr. mime/togekiss. Bewear is funny (& similar to the mascot bodyguard), Mr. Mime is self explanatory, togekiss is self explanatory wrt Pokédex entries.

Rui - porygon z/mimikyu/silvaly. I feel like all of these are pretty self explanatory.

Tsukasa - dragonite/sylveon/rapidash. Dragonite is a wxs world link reference, sylveon just fits, rapidash because there is no Pegasus pokemon.

#debated giving rui an absol (misinterpreted by humans leading to stigma) but mimikyuu fits him way better & I like porygon #i dislike giving random characters legendaries/mythicals but. silvaly fits too well. #originally had togekiss and sylveon swapped but I think togekiss fits emu better & tsukasa would have a sylveon. you know this in ur heart. #middle school tsukasa: I hope my eevee evolves into a super cool umbreon (it does not) #but sylveon does remind him of saki so he is fine with this. #debated giving him a Galarian rapidash but I honestly think regular rapidash works better #& the team aesthetic was leaning too heavily on the cute fairy side which there’s nothing wrong w but it’s not his vibe #primarina just fits nene absurdly well and I think giving her a hatterene is the funniest possible choice I could make #it fuckin hates tsukasa. wants him dead. #rotom/robonene (rotomnene?) also Just Works… it comes out of the robot occasionally but it likes the cool functions it gets as a robot #togekiss’s whole thing is it wants to be surrounded by nice kind people and it evolves w friendship. i think it fits emu. #& bewear gives spine breaking hugs canonically which is very emu #what else. uhh rui would 100% make the mimikyu cute little costumes & the dragonite is a world link reference #bc the dragonite embodiment of the sea guides ships thing. etc. #‘off the top of my head’ me when I lie. originally it was and then I got sucked into bulbapedia. sad. oh well. #if I was to give other characters mythical/legendary pkmn nene would get meloetta or manaphy/emu would get diancie or moltres #and Tsukasa would get jirachi or moltres. or maybe victini. who’s to say. #someone did give tsukasa a keldeo that could also work… #thank you for coming to my Ted talk. i have not played Pokémon since legends arceus. #project sekai
