Top panel has Volo doing his spiel about how he will meet Arceus if it takes years..decades..centuries, etc. He stomps off. Akari finds his clothes and leaves him a potion. Later, when he recovers his clothes, he steams over this gesture of pity after what he did.

please let me introduce you to NeverHappy, my most beloved pokemon ever.
Tumblr media
i found her as a budew on someone else’s save file after buying a used copy of pokemon platinum. the name “NeverHappy” was a pretty obvious joke about how budew evolves from happiness, and since the previous owner was going to keep her in a box forever, never use her, and never evolve her, she would never be happy. this activated some feral response in my brain and i decided no. she WOULD be happy. i was still replaying through all my old gen 4 games at the time but i traded her off to my other gen 4 files for safekeeping until i could do stuff with her.
Tumblr media
oh trust me game. i would.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
so you might have thought my plans were to simply evolve her and beat the game with her, get her to level 100, maybe even EV train her - but i had much bigger plans. i was going to ribbon master her. the ribbon master challenge, or the process of “ribbon mastering” a pokemon, is getting every single ribbon possible on a pokemon from the game it was caught in to the most recent game it can be transferred to. if you weren’t aware, that’s a LOT of ribbons. there are 40 in gen 4 alone. i had a lot to do.
Tumblr media
(the above clean screenshot was taken by backing up my cartridge save and screenshotting a battle video in emulator. however, i did all of this on my actual DS! i don’t like playing on emulator. not as fun)
i had to beat every contest (normal-master rank in all 5 categories) and do a bunch of other random stuff but my favorite part of the process was defeating the battle tower... 6 times. the battle frontier contains the most challenging battles in gen 4 by far, as opponents have good stats and competitive movesets. there’s 6 battle tower ribbons in gen 4 - two for singles at different points in the win streak, one for doubles, one for multis /w NPCs, one for multis /w another player (i just played with myself on two dses), and one for ranking up in the wi-fi room, which is now accessible again due to fan servers restoring internet functionality for gens 4 and 5.
Tumblr media
NeverHappy was randomly caught in the wild and did not have a competitive nature or stats, so i figured that she would just be tagging along in the back while i took out all the win streaks with 2 good pokemon, but she ended up clutching out wins in times of dire need... multiple times. she even ended up being necessary in the wi-fi room to stall out prevalent hacked pokemon like no guard sheer cold machamp, which hits 1 hit KO moves every time, with a gimmicky and convoluted leech seed + substitute strategy.
i could go into all of my team members and the excessive lengths i went to get them all (don’t even get me started on my shiny competitive latias from pokemon emerald) but that’s a story for another day.
Tumblr media
by the end of gen 4 i was extremely emotionally attached and she was already becoming one of my favorite pokemon, now with 40 whole ribbons after days and weeks of effort.
i have ribbon mastered pokemon before, so all of my save files in gens 6, 7, and 8 were already set up to transfer neverhappy into and grab all of the ribbons. i had a lot more battling and little tasks ahead of me. it’s really cool how ribbon mastering forces you to interact with pretty much every feature of every pokemon game.
and so i transferred her! gen 5 doesn’t have any ribbons, so it was just an intermediary to transfer into gen 6. at this point, i had also acquired a shiny luxray from pokeradar chaining in platinum named Nightlight, and i was ribbon mastering them together, but once again, a story for another day.
Tumblr media
first into gen 6... getting the super training ribbon was really annoying but the battle maison was pretty easy. i had a team in multis with terrakion and a whimsicott with beat up that could 1 hit KO all of the boss battle’s legendaries in one hit LOL
Tumblr media
then gen 7... this one went by pretty quickly but i opted to get the best friends ribbon here instead of in XY or ORAS because it was really simple to get with rainbow pokebeans, since all you have to do is max out affection and it only takes a couple rainbow beans to do that in USUM.
Tumblr media
and gen 8! you can see nightlight to the left in this picture. by far the hardest part of gen 8 was getting the ribbon awarded for winning a battle in master rank in online VGC against other players. i definitely had to grind that one for a while.
Tumblr media
then, she even got an award in BDSP for being a pokemon originating from the original diamond/pearl/platinum games, which was really cool.
Tumblr media
oh, and since i had cloned neverhappy back in gen 4 with a glitch so that i would always have a copy of her in her origin games, i was able to take this neat picture! how the times have changed LMAO
Tumblr media
luckily she was even a part of PLA’s roster and i was able to take a picture with her there, too... which actually might end up being important since there’s an invisible flag somewhere in the game’s code that gets turned on when you take a picture with your pokemon in the photo studio, which could potentially become a ribbon in the future in another game.
so, trainer Platina from 2016, you were wrong! NeverHappy is in fact happy now and has done more than most people’s pokemon have seen in their entire lifetime. she is my most cherished pokemon and i love her more than i love myself. i think i would die for her
i abbreviated this story a lot because i didn’t want to make this post longer than it already was but i was randomly inspired to talk about this today since SV is coming out soon and there will be more ribbons to collect for any of my ribbon masters that can be transferred into SV, which got me thinking about her. my journey with ribbon mastering has taught me more about pokemon games than any normal person should ever know and if you were interested in any details i left out or how i accomplished certain ribbons (including battle frontier strategies) feel free to shoot me an ask! :D i love talking about pokemon at any time any day of the week.

Pokemon Crossbreeds: Rose Bouquet
Rose Bouquet, also just called Boquet, is the name for members of the Sprigatitio line with Roselia/Roserade fathers. They were named after their flowers now resembling roses. The breed has been around in Paldea since medieval times. They were most often held by noble families as a sign of wealth, as Roserade and Roselia are not native to Paldea, ao the crossbreeds were very expensive.

Sprigatito
Tumblr media
Boquet Spriagatio gain the patterns of Budew. Instead of a grass scent, they produce a rose scent, which has been loved by many people for years. However, their feet produces a small amount of pollen, with males producing more than females, which is something to be aware of if you have allergies. They are also more sensitive to temperature changes, ao expect them to be sluggish in cold weather.
Floragato
Tumblr media
My favorite member of this line! Boquet Floragato gain the roses of Roselia, but they also gain roselia's eyelashes, Roselia's crown pattern on their face, the yellow mark on their chest fur, and their yoyo becomes rose shaped. Their roses produce a strong scent and, lucky for us, they don't produce any poison. HOWEVER, they still produce thorns, so it's not safe to walk up and poke them. Boquet Floragato use these thorns to their advantage when attacking, using their showmanship and roses to lure in their opponents and attack.
Meowscarada
Tumblr media
(Click for better quality)
Rose Boquet Meowscarada gain a color scheme that more closely matched of Roserade. They gain a cloak over their shoulders as well as Roserade's collar, and the flower in their neck becomes red. Their bomb also now resembles a boquet of roses.
Like Roserade, Boquet Meowscarada use their sweet rose scent to attract prey before attacking them. They also move in a way similar to Roserade, moving like a dancer and jabbing with their arms.
//My designs can he used by anyone if you credit me for the original design!
