Nico lets out a sigh as he gives one more cursory look around his booth for his AWOL salandit, shaking his head when the little menace is no where to be found. He is going to be in SO much trouble when we find him… he thought as he went out to the stage for his next lecture.

He was happy to see some returning trainers from his previous lecture and nodded his greeting, "'Lola everyone, so sorry that I'm a little bit late today ran into a bit of a problem but one of my friends is looking out in my stead! I'm very glad to see you all again and I thank you all for coming!"

"Now then, today is focusing on dispelling some myths and rumors regarding dark type pokémon, which if you happened upon the Moonlight Shadows rotomblr page you've probably seen the ones I did regarding Houndoom and Darkrai. I'll still go over them very briefly here because they are victim to some of the more extreme rumors."

"Houndoom's pokédex entry states that if you are burned by its flames then the pain will linger forever." he pinched the bridge of his nose, "Not only can I disprove this because I do in fact own a houndoom but also any pain lasting forever is just such an exaggeration it borders on laughable."

He picked up a remote to pull up a diagram of a houndoom, "See here houndoom can combine their flames with the toxins in their stomachs to essentially burn and poison you. Houndoom can choose not to do so, so if you're looking to raise a houndoom and you treat them well then they'll have no reason to combine the two. Please keep in mind that a houndour that has just evolved into a houndoom won't have as much control over their toxins so an accident is more possible."

He changed the slide to darkrai next, "As for darkrai…" Nico continued by going over what the pokédex stated and how darkrai are depicted in media, typically as the villains with only one instance (in recent memory) of darkrai taking more of a hero role.

"With those two gone over, does anyone have any pokémon they'd like for me to go over?"

A hand shot up as soon as the question was asked, "How dangerous are tyranitar?"

Nico contemplated his answer and leaned back, "Tyranitar are about as dangerous as most other pseudo-legendaries, what sets them apart from others is that they are extremely fierce and protective parents. If you don't give a tyranitar a reason to attack you then you don't have anything to worry about, a rule of thumb is to stay out of tyranitar territory unless you're properly prepared. If you see a larvitar by itself, do not go near it and get away from the area immediately, the last thing you want to do is be between a tyranitar and its larvitar."

After going over a handful of other pokémon, Nico glanced at the clock, "Wow we've been here for much longer than I expected! I hope that I answered everything that you all had questions on but again if you think of anything else please come find my booth. Thank you again!"

As soon as he was off the stage, Nico dragged his hand down his face, "Alright time to look for Ban before my next lecture."

What are everyone’s teams in your Pokemon au? Do you have a plot set out or is it a more causal au?

Oooooh this is a fun one

You'd better fucking BELIEVE we have a plot set up, I have poured so much effort into the Pokemon au

Okay, so: when it comes to teams, I decided that everyone should have at least one legendary Pokemon in their party as a way to be faithful to the ace monster concept, but it wasn’t until much later into the au that I realized I’d failed to do that with Sora’s team, which led to a very fun plot point involving his secret 7th Pokemon he keeps in his box

Teams under the cut because it’s gonna be a long one, boys

Yuya has: Groudon, Sandshrew, Popplio, Hippopotas, Aipom, and Ekans

In his box, he’s got Phanphy, Charmander, Politoad, Ducklett, Liepard, Skorupi, and Lycanroc (Midnight form)

I wanted him to have as many Pokemon as he could that reminded me of the monsters in his deck, and since Yuya is a coordinator in this au instead of a regular trainer, it just felt right that he’d have a lot of different partners he could swap out for various contests

Also I’m mad that there isn’t a legendary dragon that looks like Odd Eyes, so I had to give Yuya Groudon instead, making him the only Yu boy in this au to not have a legendary dragon type Pokemon

Yuto has: Eternatus, Bisharp, Aegislash, Aggron, Lucario, and Shadow Rider Calyrex

Okay listen, I know I was supposed to only give everyone One legendary Pokemon, but with Calyrex I feel justified because it looks So Much like it could be one of Yuto’s Phantom Knights, I mean

Just look at it

Yuto gets to have two legendaries to make up for Arc-V killing him off so early into the show

Aside from this guy, the rest of Yuto’s team just felt like it should be comprised of steel types ow the edge so that’s what I gave him. His Pokemon are as edgy as he tries to appear to be and that is enough to amuse me.

There also weren’t exactly many good Pokemon equivalents of his archetype, so I made do with what I had.

Yugo has: Latios, Scizor, Claydol, Porygon 2, Ponyta (Shiny), and Sudowoodo

Yugo was honestly so hard to come up with a team for because all his Speedroid cards are just like... toys and stuff for the most part, so I agonized over what I should pick for him for a Long time. In the end, I feel like I got close enough to his general aesthetic with the Pokemon I picked.

(His Ponyta is there because of Speedroid Horse Stilts, and while it is a shiny, the dumbass has no idea about it, and thinks he just happened to get a special blue horse that was born a little differently- he never claimed to be smart.)

He also deadass thought Sudowoodo was a grass type for the longest time. Rin had to be the one to tell him it wasn’t.

“Yugo. Sudowoodo? It sounds like pseudo? As in fake wood?”

“Ohhhhh is that what its name means? Wow Rin you’re so smart.”

No Yugo you’re just exceptionally stupid.

Yuri has: Naganadel, Seviper, Victreebel, Toxicroak, Vileplume, and Roserade

For the most toxic of battlers, I felt it only necessary to give Yuri an all poison type team. I included an even mix of plants in there to tie into his Predaplant deck, Seviper for the snake eye vibes, and Toxicroak... just feels right, you know. I couldn’t find any other poison plant themed Pokemon that seemed like they’d fit his vibe, so he gets a poison frog instead.

Yuzu has: Meloetta, Sylveon, Meowstic (Female), Gardevoir, Florges, and Jigglypuff

I tried to stick with Pokemon that had very feminine vibes for Yuzu, since her deck is comprised of pretty singing ladies, so Meloetta and Jigglypuff in particular feel very fitting in that regard.

Serena has: Cresselia, Delcatty, Glameow, Lopunny, Persian, and Pyroar (Female)

The moon vibes with Cresselia felt perfect for Serena, and as for the rest of her team, all cats and a bunny to pay homage to her Lunalight deck ^^

Rin has: Celesteela, Mismagius, Hatterene, Glaceon, Froslass, and Chimecho

Her team vibes with the witch part of her Wind Witch deck, at least for Mismagius and Hatterene. Glaceon, Froslass, and Chimecho are there due to the etymology of her name, where possible meanings of it include “cold” and “bell”, which I thought was pretty cool, no pun intended.

Ruri has: Galarian Articuno, Pidgeot, Noctowl, Chatot, Altaria, and Unfezant (Male)

Some softer birds for the soft bird girl, for the most part. I liked the thought of her team being all birds like her Lyriluscs, and just... yeah. They’re all very friendly birds that Ruri’s bonded pretty closely with. Also I made sure she had Galarian Articuno for no reason other than it is purple like her, and I think that’s all the reason I need.

Gong has: Kartana, Machoke, Samurott, Golisopod, Hariyama, and Conkeldurr

Gong was really easy to assign a team to- just had to find as many samurai themed Pokemon as possible, and fill in the rest with really strong fighting types, like Machoke, Hariyama, and Conkeldurr.

Shingo has: Type: Null, Dusclops, Misdreavus, Spiritomb, Decidueye, and Cramorant

With Shingo, I tried to go for Pokemon that had the same vibes as some of his Abyss Actors, and I think Dusclops is the best example of this. Tbh I am very proud of giving him a Type: Null because Type: Null is an amalgamation of other Pokemon, something that was created in a lab to be a fighting machine. There’s nothing natural about Type: Null, and it’s kind of terrifying to Yuya specifically, who’s always viewed Pokemon as creatures to befriend. This experiment created purely to kill... unnerves him, and serves as a very good foil to his beliefs when it comes to Pokemon.

And they were narrative foils

Oh my god they were narrative foils

On a sillier note, I chose Cramorant purely because of this quote from its bulbapedia page: “Cramorant are also rather unintelligent as they can't remember which Pokémon they fight in mid battle, but never forget Trainers that they trust. However, they try to attack their Trainers if they steal food from them.”

I just thought the idea of Shingo having this dumb bird that occasionally pecks at him over food would be funny tbh, gotta dunk on the rival at least a little bit.

Sora has: Banette, Vanillish, Swirlix, Stufful, Litleo, and Buneary

In his box, he has a Guzzlord

I feel like Sora’s team is very straightforward, as it’s a mix of sweets themed Pokemon, and Pokemon that represent monsters in his deck- Stufful for Flufflal Bear, Litleo for Fluffal Leo, and Buneary for Fluffal Rabbit. Guzzlord... is relevant later on in the plot after shit goes down, that’s all I’ll say for now.

Masumi has: Diancie, Sableye, Corsola, Aurorus, Tyranitar, and Lycanroc (Dusk form)

Gem Knight girl deserved to have a bunch of good rock type Pokemon, and Diancie is like. The best possible legendary I could have given someone like her lol, the crystal aesthetic is just perfect for her. Not much to say here honestly, I just really vibed with these specific rock types and thought they’d make a good team for her.

Yaiba has: Zeraora, Kecleon, Pangoro, Scyther, Purugly, and Stantler

So I actually threw this list together just now because I realized Masumi was the only member of her trio to have a full team, and that just wasn’t right. I tried to base this team off the XX-Sabers as well I could, but it was a little hard with how many humanoid cards Yaiba has. With his legendary, I actually chose it based off this monster right here!

I think they’ve got similar enough vibes aesthetically for Zeraora to fit him. Scyther is based on Emmersblade, Kecleon on Ragigura, Stantler on Garsem, Purugly on Gardestrike, and Pangoro... Honestly, it just makes me think of Yaiba himself when I look at him. I think they’d get along well.

Hokuto has: Deoxys, Espeon, Grumpig, Starmie, Lunatone, and Malamar

Psychic type Pokemon just sort of felt right for him to have, considering that his deck is based on constellations and has an overall space theme to it. Not sure why that translates over to psychic in my brain, but you know what, it looks right, I love this team for him, and I’m not gonna question it.

I especially think Deoxys makes a good legendary for him considering it is literally a space alien, and Hokuto’s whole thing is space, so yeah, he gets to have the space alien.

Shun has: Galarian Moltres, Skarmory, Fearow, Dodrio, Staraptor, and Talonflame

Pretty straightforward team I feel- it’s all birds of prey for the Raid Raptor boy, and I just thought the Galarian version of Moltres was neat. Makes me think of his Blaze Falcon since they’re both black and red.

Dennis has: Hoopa, Mr. Mime, Delphox, Zoroark, Alakazam, and Hawlucha

Hoopa seemed like a very good legendary for Dennis to have, given his deck archetype and all, he just kind of looks like a little circus dude. Its unbound form makes me think about the swap Dennis has when it gets revealed that he’s actually been a double agent the whole time, and the play gloves finally come off.

The rest of his team... I feel like they speak for themselves. I tried to give him Pokemon that matched up with his deck archetype, so there’s Delphox to rep the fire themed monsters, Mr. Mime because it just fits Dennis’ general personality- and I love the thought of those two being friends and just copying each other’s theatric poses. Chaotic dynamic duo.

(Also: Zoroark's ability letting it disguise itself as another Pokemon is just another parallel to Dennis pretending to be one of the good guys at first, and I love it)

Shinji has: Buzzwole, Beedrill, Vespiquen, Ribombee, Kricketune, and Leavanny

I tried to give the bee man all the bees I could, but there are only so many bee Pokemon out there 😔 I knew the rest of his team had to be insect types to make up for it, so I picked Kricketune because he is just... a friend... a musical buddy who definitely gets along well with the kids. Leavanny is just a bug mom who also helps patch up the kids’ clothing when they get tears in them, which I just love the idea of. Sweet bug mom whose dex entry talks about how they sew for other Pokemon looks after her trainer’s kids when she’s not battling.

Buzzwole: witness the fitness

Throwback to the Smash Bros mains lmao

Crow has: Murkrow, Braviary, Starly, Swellow, Pikipek, and Corviknight

Bunch of birds for my Blackwing user... This team was partially picked out by June, and it was mostly meant for the Other Pokemon au, but I don’t really see a reason to change his team here. Crow is the one person without a legendary on his team, which makes me sad, but there really isn’t a legendary bird out there that fits his vibes, so as much as I wanna give him a legendary, he will have to make do without one. Sorry Crow.

Hoo... that’s finally all the teams down. Now I can talk about the plot! So, as I briefly mentioned in a previous post (I think), this particular au is inspired by Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum! It’s the era where contests really became a big thing, which is perfect for a lot of these characters because it’s easy to translate dueltaining over to coordinating in this world. Much like in canon, Yuya aspires to be as great a coordinator as his dad was, and strives to entertain people the way Yusho could. He’s not much for battling, and far prefers getting to show off his Pokemon’s talents in contests than anything.

Academia is going to play the role of Team Galactic in this au, which is incredibly fitting with their mission in canon: to remake the universe in their leader’s image. In this case, with Leo Akaba taking on the role of Cyrus, his intent is, presumably, to either destroy the universe that took his daughter from him, or create a new one where she can live once again, no matter the cost.

Sora being a key member in Team Galactic is a very big part of the plot in this au: his mission was to capture one of the lake legendaries, Uxie, since Leo needed all three of them for his plan to remake the universe, but things don’t exactly go well for him, and he ends up losing his battle against Uxie, resulting in all of his memories being locked away, and essentially making him a blank slate.

Side note: the Galactic grunt haircut reminds me a lot of Sora, I mean just look at it

Practically same bangs as him, just add an upturned ponytail and you’ve got my son.

This post is getting very long... but I will add one last plot related thing to it before I go: Uxie can erase memories, Mesprit can erase emotions, and Azelf can erase willpower. All three of these lake legendaries play a very important role in the plot, due to being the keys to Leo Akaba’s plans to remake the universe. Sora was touched by Uxie, effectively doing away with all memory he has of being in Team Galactic. Yuya ends up touched by Mesprit in an attempt to save them, and subsequently loses his emotions as a result. Riley?

Riley had been affected by all three of them before the plot began, which is why she is the way she’d been in Arc-V: Emotionless, unable to remember anything about her past except for those brief, fleeting flashes of memory when put into certain situations she’d experienced before, and without any will of her own. She’s so dependent on her older brother because she quite literally has no clue what to do with herself without being told to, and needs orders to function.

Hoo, if you’ve made it all the way to the end of the post, congratulations! I think this is the longest one I’ve made... ever lmao. I hope you guys found it enjoyable! If anyone wants to know more about certain aspects of this au, feel free to ask! I look forward to talking about it more c:

My thoughts on Game Freak's new policy.

Oookay... so... it's official. We're not gonna have every pokemon be transferable in Pokemon Sword and Shield. And yeah, I can see everyone being extremely upset about this. Hell, I was disappointed too. But after looking at some videos pointing to this heart breaking decision, I'm starting to see why Mr. Masuda had to do that and change Gamefreaks policy.

Yes, we may not have the ability to transfer all of the national dex, but you have to keep in mind that we are close to having over a thousand pokémon overall. Gamefreak probably is having a hard time keeping up with such a huge roster. And I know what you're all about to say, "Why can't they just reuse the models from the 3DS? It shouldn't be THAT hard." Well, yeah you could be right. But 807 pokemon so far is still a pretty huge number. It would take them quite some time to get each and every model updated for Sword and Shield. Not to mention that they always rush them out for the holidays. We've constantly been getting pokémon games through out the decade, about two games for each 1-2 years passing. Why? Because the Pokémon fandom is pretty impatient when it comes to a new generation of pokémon.

No joke, I feel like Masuda and the rest of GF are just constantly making these games, each generation now being three years apart from one another, because they're trying their hardest to satisfy everyone. But here's the thing that almost always happen: the fandom would find one small flaw in the game and immediately complain about it, begging Masuda for a new generation almost immediately. And the sad part? Masuda's got no choice but to keep making new generations for each three years, hoping to make everyone satisfied. But now, because we've made the pokedex so big, not to mention each region's debut pokémon constantly getting smaller by said number based on some fans complaints, they now have to shrink down on what previous pokémon should be in the Galar regional dex, and what should stay behind in Pokémon Home, the new method of transfering Pokémon.

And because of their new policy on transfering Pokémon, everyone, even myself, got disappointed with this news. So much so, that nearly the ENTIRE FANDOM ITSELF rioted all over the internet believing that Masuda is a fraud and Gamefreak is ending the Pokémon world. They even started a hashtag campain that demands GF to "Bring back the National Dex". I'm sure you've seen it every where all over Twitter, Youtube, Facebook, here on Tumblr, basically nearly every social media site. I sure do. In fact, I've noticed that Nintendo took down one of their oosts from E3 this year because every pokémon fan kept spamming the hashtag "Bring back the National Dex". Well, at least it's proof that Masuda, himself, already knew what he had done. He practially broke everyone's heart that day. I can't blame them, I'll miss most of, if not ALL, my pokémon that are still in ORAS, Sun and Moon and USUM. We still don't even know what Pokemon Home will have in store for when we transfer every pokémon that we've captured, raised, breeded and so forth into it yet, let alone if it'll cost us and/or have a limited time to hold them all before they deside to delete them all. (Dear lord, I hope they don't do that, because most of the fandom's gonna cancel their pre-orders immediately if they already haven't yet.)

But after watching some videos by RuffledRowlet, BirdKeeperToby, HoopsandHiphop and so on, I think I can come to the conclusion that this is definitely NOT the end of the franchise just because we're only gonna have about a half or one third of the national dex worth of pokémon from the last seven generations prior. In fact, Sword and Shield shouldn't really be about which of our favorite pokémon will make it into the region. Each generation of pokémon, including Galar itself, was always about finding what brand new pokémon reside through out the region, what new challenges await us, the many new faces we meet and all that.

Remember the third gen games, Ruby and Sapphire? Remember when you could never get to transfer the pokémon from Gold, Silver and Crystal versions to those? A lot of people were upset about that too! And now it looks as if history's repeating itself. But despite this, Masuda decided to have the company make more games, like Fire Red and Leaf Green, the Colosseum games and Emerald, one of my all time favorite pokémon games, and then add those missing pokémon in there. So what I can assume will happen through generation eight, and probably the rest of Pokémon's future, is that Masuda will resort to make more games like he normally does, and try to fix the national dex again through that. So, rather then having to either patch the games (which he already denied) or delay them along with the anime, trading cards, other merch and such, GameFreak will resort to having the entire world of pokémon be split through out the generation. For example, if we don't get Sinnoh's starters, legendaries, etc, then there's a chance they'll have them ready for potential remakes of the Sinnoh games. Still not enough pokémon? There's always a possible third version to look forward too. Hell, maybe have a Pokemon Stadium/Colosseum inspired spin off to have every one of your pokémon, competitive or not, to store and use for all sorts of battles there. They can do that if Masuda chooses to.

I was about to give up on pre-ordering the games too, but after some thinking, I've decided to still get them. I may not be able to have most of my hard work and long time companions with me, but we all still got new pokémon to discover and plenty of fan favorite pokémon roaming the wild areas, including some that I myself may still use for some gym battles. We may not get some other starters, but Charizard was shown in one of the trailers, so that's proof that we may get all three of the iconic Kanto starters. We may not get some other pokémon like Absol, Zangoose, or what ever competitive pokémon you prefer, but we still have all time favorites like Gardevoir, Lucario, Tyranitar, and so forth. And yes, even Mimikyu will still join us. And sure, we may not have the privilage to transfer all of our legendaries and mythicals, but then again, I wouldn't mind Gamefreak having to make room for a new batch of legendaries rather then to just find them all in one big region yet again. Also, uh, anyone miss the old days when we get a special item and go on a quest to find a certain mythical? Aren't you sick of getting them for free, or in Mew's case, have to pay $50 bucks for a pokéball shaped controller? Yeah, I'd like them to bring back mythical quests too...

Anyway, this whole fiasco really isn't that big of a deal. Masuda knows well that we'll all be upset about this. So what will he do if he won't update Sword and Shield after their release date? Just keep making more games and have all models be updated and ready for the next Pokémon core RPG title. I'm hoping the third version will have every pokémon be fullt transferable. As for Pokémon Home, we still don't know what it'll be like other then the fact that it won't be out until early 2020. If I had to guess, it'll probably be similar to Poké Pelago from generation seven, but probably will have some other features too. Maybe. I don't know...

Tl;dr Masuda isn't taking away all of your pokémon, he's gonna have some more games soon. So just calm down, and be patient on what else he and Gamefreak have in store through the 2020's. Also, please stop threatening him, that's not gonna help anyone at all.
