It's been a lot of work over a lot of time but I think I can finally share this...

PMD:EoS, but with all of the starters!

...Including Grookey, finally!!!!! 🥳

Introducing PMD: Expanded Sky!

This is a public mod available to download now! It adds in all starters from unova all the way to paldea, as well as zorua, axew and rockruff, and allows evolving eevee into sylveon.

Speaking of which, fairy type has been patched into the game! Disarming voice replaces milk drink and moonblast replaces judgement, which was unused.

Some non-traditional starters are no longer available as hero options in this due to lack of space, but are still available as partners. (Skitty can be chosen as a hero in version 1.0.0 only, so download that version instead of the latest if you wanna use her! Riolu and Shinx are available in version 1.2.1 and below)

If one of your faves was taken off the hero roster (eg vulpix, skitty, riolu, munchlax, etc), I have a tutorial here on how to quickly edit the patched file to put them back in :)

Several regional variants have been added! Alolan Raichu, Alolan Marowak and Hisuian Typhlosion are now available as potential evolutions for their respective base stages.

Partners across both rescue team and all three versions of explorers are available too, including Cubone, Munchlax, Machop, Vulpix, Riolu, etc

Sprites and portraits are courtesy of the brilliant PMD Sprite Repository and the many incredible artists who contribute to it!

Credits for all improvement patches, sprites and portraits are included in the download, as well as an explanation on how to patch the game and the full starter list.

The mod is split in two versions to accommodate all the partners - MIDDAY version and MIDNIGHT version. The download includes both, as well as the tool required to patch your game! You'll need a clean US copy of pmd eos at hand.

A full list of moves learned by newly added Pokémon can be found here, as well as info on how to evolve them and their IQ groups.

If you run into any issues, feel free to drop me an ask or DM and I'll see how I can help/what I need to fix!

You can find the download for this rom hack here!

Edits/updates noted under the cut:

(27/04/23)

The overall mod now has a name - expanded sky! Reflected earlier on in the post.

I've been informed that the included patching tool (XDelta) doesn't work on mac, and after some digging around and discussions in dms we found this tool works for Mac instead.

Added graphics to the post displaying which heroes and partners are part of the hack.

(11/05/23)

Added link to learnset compilation for all new pokémon.

(17/05/23) Version 1.1.0 has been released!

Sobble is now a starter, replacing Skitty (Skitty is still accessible by downloading v1.0.0 on the download page). Sobble is also now a partner in MIDNIGHT.

Zorua/Zoroark's moveset has been tweaked slightly

Base forms of all new starters can now be found in Oran Forest, and can be recruitable in the post-game. The new fire starters can also be found in Giant Volcano.

Extra portraits and sprites were added for Cubone, Psyduck and Machop. Like the rest of the new assets in this mod, these were imported from the PMD Sprite Repository, and credits are on the title screen and in the readme.txt.

Extra credits + more in-depth instructions for patching the game included in the readme.txt.

(18/05/23)

Added a link to a tutorial on swapping out heroes for others already existing in the game.

(22/05/23) - Version 1.1.1 has been released!

Fixed genders for female starter options on the quiz. Updated Fuecoco to use new portraits and sprites. (Credits to Garbage)

(23/05/23) - Version 1.1.2 has been released!

Female starters from gens 5-9 can now evolve correctly (save for starters who don't have evolutions in the game yet - these are listed in the text file in the download)

Rockruff can now evolve, and Midnight Lycanroc's evolution method has been fixed to use the Lunar Ribbon as intended.

(15/06/23) - Version 1.2.1 has been released!

In 1.2.0, a second version of the mod was included in the zip compatible with melon emulator, and potentially others that were having issues with saving.

Fairy gummis were also made available as mission rewards and shop items.

There's a couple more things that can be seen in the changelog including bugfixes, but the main other thing promised was that Froakie and Litten can now evolve directly into Greninja and Incineroar. Due to an evolution flag not being set this ended up untrue, but has been fixed in 1.2.1.

This post claimed dazzling gleam is in the game, but it should've said disarming voice.

🆕 (10/03/24) - Version 1.3.0 has been released!

Dusk Lycanroc, Drizzile, Inteleon, Grookey, Axew and Fraxure have been added, as well as Alolan Raichu, Alolan Marowak an Hisuian Typhlosion.

Axew replaces Shinx in the hero roster, and Grookey replaces Riolu. Additional portraits and sprites added for starter evolutions, including vanilla starters. Sleep animations have been copied over to EventSleep/Laying/Wake animations if missing.

Greninja erroneously had the same moveset as Froakie. This has now been fixed.

Credits are no longer displayed on the title screen.

Sprite, portrait and patch credits can now be viewed by talking to a Cyndaquil NPC on the crossroads.

Evolution help can also be accessed by talking to this same NPC.

You know, in the recent episodes of Horizons, both Liko and Roy had one of their Pokemon learn new moves. But what's really interesting is the kind of moves each one learned. So far Roy's Pokemon have been learning a lot of offensive moves, like Fuecoco learning Stomping Tantrum, Flamethrower, and now Disarming Voice, and him trying out a combo offensive attack with Fuecoco and Wattrel. In other words, he's all about power and offense. Liko's development has been comparatively slower as far as moves, but her Hatenna recently learned Heal Pulse, which is a move to heal other Pokemon. Notably, this is a move that is not only a supportive move, but one that works at its best in a team setting. Liko's Sprigatito hasn't learned anything yet but is naturally more skilled than Roy's Fuecoco and a notable thing it has going for it is that it uses Leafage to unleash its natural sweet scent to lull its opponents into an entranced state, letting their guard down.

Liko herself is notably very perceptive in battle and she's quite analytical and strategic. Roy is more headstrong and about attack and isn't as naturally skilled in battle as Liko is. But the throughline in what I pointed out above is that Liko's Pokemon seem to be gearing more towards a support/defensive battling style, while Roy has a more offensively oriented battle style intent on really dealing damage. I feel that individually, they have some shortcomings, but together their skillsets are developing in such a way where they complement each other, to a point where as a duo, they'll eventually be a powerhouse duo whose skillsets work in tandem with one another to really outsmart and overpower whatever's in front of them, and their already excellent chemistry as friends lends to the potential for incredible teamwork between the two of them.

In a sense it feels like their developments as Trainers really is designed to complement each other, so that they work best **together**. Their battle styles align with their personalities but their skillsets would work so well in tandem together that as a duo they would eventually grow to become unstoppable, able to overcome challenges as a team. Liko being a strong defensive/support backbone that Roy can lean on, while Roy is the heavy hitter between the two who really dishes out the dirt.

Their stories to begin with were always deeply intertwined with each other, which was hinted at when Roy's Poke Ball and Liko's pendant resonated with each other. Roy wants to become a strong battler who can challenge the Pokemon of legend like Rayquaza, though he lacks the talent and skill to be able to battle. Liko started out with no real goal, but eventually learned of Lucius thanks to Roy's Poke Ball revealing the Black Rayquaza and that her pendant was related, and now wants to understand the feelings of Pokemon. She is also more strategic and skilled, and the development of her Pokemon's skillsets so far while still just starting out is aligning with that too. Together, they will both be able to achieve their goals, Roy being able to go toe-to-toe with Rayquaza and other powerful Pokemon as a team with Liko, who can also eventually help Terapagos and its friends and whatnot and overcome the Explorers as a duo with Roy.

Teamwork will be what eventually allows Liko and Roy to overcome the Explorers in particular I feel, since that's also where the Explorers contrast them: unlike the RVT, the Explorers do not value teamwork and each admin is self-centered and they are constantly trying to one-up each other instead of working together (think Kakashi's first lesson to Team 7 in Naruto, for instance), which I think will be their downfall that will eventually allow Liko and Roy to, as a team, win against them.

Long ass neurodivergent ramble but just some thoughts haha.

as the resident ceo of likodot, what are your thoughts on the scene in episode 9 where dot ends up being the one who gives liko the courage she needs to tell her father that she wants to continue traveling with the RVT?

AH YES. THIS SCENE. I HAVE MANY THOUGHTS. THANK U FOR ASKING. apologies if this post is messy i have brainfog but i wanted to answer it anywayyyy

dot and liko's early connection is pretty interesting to me because at the time of this episode, the two barely know each other. dot first appears in episode 7 and this happens a couple episodes later in episode 9... not a lot of time has passed.

at this point in episode 9, liko knows that dot:

is murdock's niece and around the same age as her

is a tech wiz who wrote the app the RVT use to maintain the brave asagi and talk to each other

is good at gathering info online too

is a social recluse

does not eat very well/doesn't eat with other people

is interested in legendary pokemon, mysteries, that sort of stuff

and of course, she has heard the gurumin theme song coming from dot's room, and seen her quaxly, which leads to the iconic misunderstanding that dot is a huge fan of gurumin and not... literally gurumin lol

on the other hand, liko has no idea what dot looks like, does not know anything about her history, and has not had a proper conversation with her - their only communications have been through her bedroom door, first through quaxly bringing her and roy notes (which are drawings to interpret and not even actual written words), then when dot yells angrily at her to shut up/go away because she's interrupting dot setting up for her livestream, and then when dot finally budges just enough to mention her interest in legendaries & mysterious things.

by all regards dot is probably more of a concept to liko at this point than a whole person; a disembodied sometimes-voice who belongs to someone that deserves to be reached out to, but who hasn't actually been reached yet. this is overtly clear with her misunderstanding about dot being a gurumin fan - liko is piecing together who she thinks dot is with very little context clues and actual interactions and she is literally drawing the wrong conclusions lol. at most right now liko is interested in dot because of the whole gurumin thing... and because she's just a compassionate person who can't imagine that the person behind that door is a bad one, or someone who should be ignored, so she's compelled to learn more and reach out and figure dot out.

and that's the thing. liko is just naturally the sort of person to want to go out of her way to reach out to dot despite knowing pretty much nothing about her personally, and even having their first couple of interactions be rude ones. she follows through - she takes dot's lunch to her, makes sure to say "i'll talk to you later" and thank her for things, in a way that roy isn't (not to say that roy doesn't care, but liko is focused on her in particular). sure, the idea that they have a mutual interest in gurumin definitely helps, but she was interested before that and wasn't thrown off by her rude drawing of roy losing to fuecoco even before she started associating dot with gurumin. and this, especially coming from a peer and not a worried adult, is certainly foreign to dot and she kind of doesn't know how to deal with it, but it means a lot to her.

^ i think this bit at the end of episode 8 after liko and roy walk away is a really good summary of how dot is about all of this. she's reclusive, doesn't like noise, likes being in her own space, and she's "supposed" to find people like roy and liko irritating... but she can't help but smile about them being around, and while thinking about them.

oh, and of course dot has been overwhelmed by liko's compliments towards her work as gurumin even though liko doesn't know that's who she's complimenting. she's a popular youtuber and i'm sure she gets compliments from people all the time, but this is definitely a foreign experience for her in person, coming from someone verbally like that, not to mention how genuine and passionate liko is about it. i mean it makes her blush like this okay come on:

ALL OF THIS is to say that liko is a meaningful person to dot at this point, despite how little liko actually knows about her. liko has reached out to her in a way that no one has before, has directly complimented her work/passion, and has responded to her rudeness/antisocial behavior with even more curiosity instead of shying away.

so like of course when it's possible that liko is going to leave, she's upset about it and wants to do something about it. this is such a new situation and she's still so reclusive that she needs a little push from landau (who knows her well enough to tell she has emotions about this despite her not exactly wearing them on her sleeve), but the feelings she has about liko are enough to push her through, just enough to leave a wordless drawing by her door, which is massive for her at this point in time.

liko's response to this is understandably not super expressive or emotional, and in fact right after seeing the drawing, she first has a far more emotive conversation with mollie and orio and then roy, before eventually taking the drawing with her to dot's door and thanking her. she still doesn't know dot that well and honestly even though she was thinking that dot was opening up a little bit, she probably didn't expect this gesture. she doesn't know how meaningful her reaching out to dot has actually been.

regardless, she understands the meaning of the drawing and once again goes to talk to her, even without expecting a response back, and is able to go leave and tell her dad she wants to stay on the brave asagi, so it obviously contributed to her courage. it's proof that even this person who she barely knows cares about her and wants her to stay, and it also rewards her efforts of reaching out and proves to her that yes, dot is opening up and receiving liko's attempts at reaching out - her advances aren't unwanted. how's she supposed to leave now that she's sunk this time and effort into connecting with dot? dot is not the only reason she wants to stay of course, but it's a piece of the puzzle. she can't just leave now that they've made this connection successfully!!

dot says this after liko's already left, but regardless they've made a connection in their own unique, nonverbal way, and of course everything between them continues to grow from here.

so anyway all of this is to say i think it's fascinating the way these two connect mostly without words and through action/gesture at the start of the series, and i think the lopsidedness of their connection with each other is actually pretty interesting and reveals how much liko's compassion and efforts affect dot early on. she really is the vessel through which dot comes out of her shell and that's evident from the beginning

ALSO as an aside, very cute that dot does these little doodles at all? they aren't bad!! liko also draws... even though dot doesn't seem to take it as seriously or have it as an actual hobby i think they should draw together i think this would be cute JIOSJDOF

#kiki was here #asks #anonymous #likodot #dotliko #guruminshipping #horizons #im normal btw #i hope this post makes sense ive been writing it on and off for like 2 hours #distractions brainfog etc but the autism drives me anyway #long post #pokemon horizons #anipoke #trainer dot #trainer liko

I love how Friede is becoming a softie and being a guardian to liko and roy. His friends are enjoying watching the change too xD

YESS gosh what I've been enjoying through the last twelve episodes is the progression from 'I'm a hired bodyguard' to 'These are my Kids™'.

Let me just ramble about Friede is Becoming a Dad moments I've noticed and adored up until episode 12:

In the first couple of episodes, he was quick to assure Liko when Sprig got nabbed. Asked her for some time so he can be properly sure that they have a lead so they're not seeking blindly. When they did find where Sprig is held at, he stopped her from rushing in without a plan and instead, acted like bait to draw Amethio's attention while she goes to save her cat. Yes hi Liko do you think he's going to let you run into danger like that.

When they got to the island where Roy is at, aside from the fact that he saved the pair from the angry Bug-types, he didn't dismiss Roy's feelings of wanting to be Fuecoco's partner. He simply wanted him to understand that it's a two way street; Roy can't singularly push his feelings without considering Fuecoco's as well. Allowing him to stay on board for the night (with Cap's permission too) so he'll have the time and opportunity to convey these feelings to Fuecoco? Yeah, that's the Dad in him peeking out.

Of course, we can't forget the time where he sees Liko's curiosity with the island Pokemon and decided to delay their return because of it. The way he watched Liko and then smiling like that? He's compromising for his kid right there.

When the Explorers attacked, even Amethio got annoyed with the way he kept getting distracted from the fight. I feel like ordinarily, Friede's not the sort to keep his eyes away from battle but he does so here because he's worried for Roy. He can't help it when there's the potential of that Rhyhorn doing harm unto Roy and Fuecoco.

He was relieved when Fuecoco pulled off his Ember but of course, his inattentiveness costed him when Amethio went straight for Liko. He's trying to get to his kids!!

Look at him being so supportive of Roy and Fuecoco being partners! And how happy he is to know that both of them were brought together by the RVT flag! That's another kid acquired yes sir.

I imagine this goes both ways. Friede thus far has prove the be quite the protective guy, not just to the kids but to his crew in general. He's the captain of this motley crew. These people from different walks of life all came together under the Rising Volt Tacklers flag where their motto is "chase each mystery we see until it's solved." Well it's no mystery that the good captain here has become Dad to the kids on board.

Also this shows Friede and by extension the rest of the crew doesn't force Dot to change who she is. They know she's reclusive, grumpy, strict but they more or less leave her be. I personally find that nice to see.

I adore this bit because while he gets to munch on the doughnuts Dot doesn't touch, it goes to show that he cares that Murdock wants to make something that she'll eat. His encouraging words are not just towards the kids!

Friede trying to give advice to Roy in this moment was so sweet! He's trying to be a good role model to his kid (now if only he sat through the whole advice giving moment).

Look at him witnessing and trusting Roy in his battle! That's a proud dad look right there!

And look at how happy he is to know that Dot ate Murdock's doughnuts! He's just so sweet!

SIRS WHERE IS YOUR KID.

See I can't be normal here I just can't not when he watches Liko standing up for herself and expressing what she wants with that warm look and smile and that whispered I'm happy for you FRIEDE THE DAD IN YOU IS JUMPING OUT.

AND THIS RIGHT HERE. SPOKEN LIKE A TRUE DAD. FRIEDE PLEASE DO YOU HEAR YOURSELF.

I WAS JUST AHHH AT THIS MOMENT. HE TRIES TO ACT LIKE HE'S NOT WORRIED BUT HE'S THE FIRST TO HEAD OUT THE MOMENT HE LEARNS THAT THERE'S A PROBLEM. I love how Murdock and Orla (rightfully) called him out on that!

HE IS WORRIED FOR HIS KIDS!!

HE'S READY TO RUSH OVER IF THEY'RE IN TROUBLE!!

I SWEAR THIS MAN NEEDS TO STOP EXPRESSING HIS CARE IN THIS SOFT, WHISPERED VOICE AND ACTING LIKE THERE'S NOTHING WRONG!!

HE KEEPS CALLING THEIR NAMES IN WORRY LIKE KIDS CAN YOU PLEASE STOP BEING WHISKED AWAY BY PLOT SO YOU'D STOP WORRYING YOUR DAD!!

DON'T WORRY MISS MA'AM YOUR DAUGHTER IS SAFE WITH HIM HE'S READY TO PROTECT HIS KIDS WITH HIS LIFE!!

Also I wholeheartedly believe that based on the bits of scenes that was shown, he's pulling out that terastalization because he got cornered and gotta fight but he HAS TO GET BACK TO HIS KIDS THEY'RE IN DANGER!!

So yes those are the moments that I like and I think showcases how he's just being a Dad to Liko and Roy (and sometimes Dot). If you've reached the end, thank you for listening to me ramble. As you can see, I have a lot of feelings for him 🥰🥰🥰

Some thoughts on the last episode:

1 - Gibeon mentions something called Lacrium, which may be the Shiny Zygarde that appears behind him. It also says "once more in Rakua" which is confusing. Did he arrive in Rakua? Is he in Rakua? Has he ever been to Rakua? What's going on?

2 - Spinel 100% will betray the Explorers. His face at the end of the episode says it all. It is interesting that there is a possibility that both Amethio and Spinel would leave the group, but while Amethio would betray the Explorers to help Liko and the RVT, Spinel would betray them in favor of his own interests. It's interesting to wonder what Spinel's reason is for being on the Explorers, and what he's up to with Rayquaza and Terapagos. I prefer it to be something more interesting than "he's the villain and wants power to dominate the world" or something like that.

3 - It's super interesting to me that Amethio says "Follow your own path" when he terastalizes Ceruledge, because we know he's not in the Explorers for his own dreams and interests. Amethio doesn't have a dream, and he probably doesn't think he has a path outside of the Explorers. It's a very interesting choice of words.

4 - Conia and Zir were obviously worried about Amethio. Conia's tone of voice, and how Zir speaks first of Amethio's well-being before anything else, further shows how much they care about this troubled teenager.

5 - Floragato using the yo-yo to attack is so cool. Plus, she hugs Fuecoco and Liko (it was so cute). She was definitely super proud of herself for evolving.

6 - Liko thanking Amethio for his help! She seemed a little unsure of what to say, but it's nice that Amethio wasn't rude to her like he is to Friede. I think this may have been his way of apologizing for almost killing Liko in episode 1. Also, this is the second time Amethio has saved Liko or one of her Pokémon, and I think it would be cool to see Liko consider that at some point. He had nothing to gain by saving Sprigatito, and he did anyway, and that's cool.

7 - Am I the only one who thinks Charizard and Ceruledge fought way to well together to be the first time? Maybe we'll get a reference to what really happened in the mine with Moltres now that we finally saw Amethio and Friede working together.

This episode was really good, and I can't wait to start arc 3!

SV Timeskip - Zero Gang + their main teams!

Zero Gang without their Pokemon here!!

explanations under the cut!

Florian's team was built using Red logic of Gift + story-relevant Pokemon:

Skeledirge simply because I picked Fuecoco in Scarlet (it meant Nemona got Meowscarada and I really like Meow for her + Quaquaval for Clavell)

Perrserker's the G-Meowth from Salvatore

Great Tusk is the former Titan (catchable after the Academy Ace Tournament)

H-Arcanine is the H-Growlithe from Perrin after helping her find Blood Moon Ursaluna

Empoleon is hatched from the egg Jacq gives the player in Kitakami

Ogerpon's... well, Ogerpon's Ogerpon lmao

Arven's team is the same as in the base game + DLC, with one change - Mabosstiff is totally okay and healthy, to be clear!! He's just much older now and can't battle as much as he used to, so Arven subs in Snorlax, which evolved from the Munchlax Florian got from Ogre Oustin' in Kitakami. Thought that was fun since it still fits in with Arven's food-themed team and is a small nod to her friendship with Florian.

Nemona's team combines her Academy Ace team with her Special Coach team (mostly just replaces Milotic with Goodra) and adds a shiny Flutter Mane. I chose Flutter Mane specifically because it's the Paradox with the highest usage rate in Competitive Pokemon and I thought it'd be cute since shiny Flutter matches well with timeskip Nemona's color scheme. It also kinda parallels Florian's Great Tusk where both have unique traits (titan/shiny), a high attacking stat (atk/sp. atk) and a low defensive stat (sp. def/def). I just think that's a neat detail.

Penny has her same team as usual since it doesn't change between the main game, Academy Ace, Mochi Mayhem and being a Special Coach. I'm thinking about designing a special Stellar-type Eeveelution to give her, just for fun, but I'll need to brainstorm a bit more for that one. Regardless, I think she'd also have a baby Eevee, just for fun.

also since I couldn't fit him in the main image without it feeling cluttered, here's Florian with Koraidon as a bonus:

#pokemon #pokemon sv #pokemon scarvi #pokemon scarlet and violet #my art #sv timeskip #god. trying to scale pokemon is so hard.#especially since bulbapedia's pngs are just a lil bit inconsistent with resolution and i was avoiding using any of the upscaled versions #like its not ideal looking and one day i'll properly draw each team member but i just wanted to whip this up quickly as a visual #so its serviceable!!#anyway. i wasnt really thinking of viability as in-game teams i just picked what i thought would be cool for nemona and florian #but i do think two pseudo legendaries + two starters + one of the strongest paradoxes is pretty good as a champion team #like to see a battle between those two in particular - could make for an entertaining matchup

Someone get this poor frog boy transferred to Naranja / Uva and away from the overly competitive nature of Blueberry Academy please-

>HC "'"Elaboration'"" and minor spoilers (for Kieran's Indigo Disk Team, mostly, but some plot points) below;

*And for Christ's sake give him his furret back GameFreak!!

*Unrelated, but does anyone else find Kieran's team going from Poliwrath -> Politoed to be adorable? Like, First big team has Poliwrath - a not quite full frog - and Second definitive team has full froggy Politoad?? Love that Kieran is not only designed frog-like, but gets emphasized with them, A+ character design choices, very *chef's kiss* 🤌🤌

*Anyway so...

• "<player> has everything I've ever wanted!...She’s/He’s got strong Pokémon! She/He can go anywhere she/he wants, and she/he can be friends with anyone!...I loved Ogerpon since forever ago! But even Ogerpon chose her/him over me!...Even YOU, Sis! You were being all nasty toward her/him at first, but then boom! You were like best friends in no time

...The kid obviously has insecurity issues strengthened by an abrasive relationship with his sister, minimal positive outlets to let himself flourish in a healthier way, and an inferiority complex he falsely believes strength will compensate for,, like, a school (Blueberry) whose main (whole? tbh) shtick is to make their trainers good at battling and centers the majority of its social AND curricular (that the player as an exchange student can observe, anyway) interactions around competitive Pokémon battles is NOT helping to do anything but strengthen any unhealthy thoughts and feelings about such concepts he has

•Note: when confronted with the reality that he's not as strong as he *perceives* he should be / earned the right to be (i.e. player beats him despite him being the "top" trainer at Blueberry), the cognitive dissonance it creates sends him into a panic attack....and the Blueberry kids just. scoff?? Immediately throw out their favor?? Very healthy mindsets and social hierarchy at Blueberry Academy, perfectly conducive to friendly and healthy competition, clearly (/sarcasm)

•Compare it to the variety of tracks of Naranja / Uva (2 of which - STEM and Humanities - have nothing to do with battling) and the Treasure Hunt, which encourages *independent* study into a variety of topics: i.e., allowing one to explore and experience a variety of things of personal interest in order to learn about one's self at one's own pace, bound by nothing but their own personalized limits...can you imagine how much that atmosphere would improve and expand Kieran's mental framework and ideas?? He can get everything he his desire "to be like [player] so, so badly" emphasized in his quote above - Strong Pokemon, going anywhere [he] wants, being friends with anyone (Carmine included)...and probably whatever attracted Ogerpon, for that matter - by being like the player and going to the Academy that the game emphasizes as being what gave the player opportunity and experience to have BECOME what Kieran admires / envies.

•Also, him transfering would give him some freedom / independence from Carmine - and nothing against her (...much), but I genuinely think Kieran would benefit a lot in an environment where he didn't have (to be forced) to rely on and compare himself to his sister's ideals and prowess...which Kieran very much mimics and absorbs when "stronger"...not a coincidence - they're seem pretty co-dependent in the Teal Mask at times, if not have a very neglect / enable type feedback aspect to their relationship. BUT that's a story for another post never

*Sprigatito would be Kieran's starter choice (or more like it would choose him, tbh) - and not just because it makes sense in my cannon (i.e. Florian w/ Quaxly, Juliana w/ Fuecoco) lol; sprigatitio is legitimately perfect for him:

•It desires attention and companionship, to the point it's first description was how it's, "capricious and attention-seeking, and it tends to sulk if ignored by people" and the trait continues all the way throughout it's evolution (/i.e. growth "phases"), with Meowscarada being described as, "sensitive and prone to jealousy. It can often be very attached to its Trainer, and it will become upset if its Trainer gives attention to other Pokémon". Sounds like Kieran towards both the player and Ogerpon, lol (Kieran: . Somewhat unrelated, but Florgato's being the edgy teenager (as Carmine referred to Kieran's "mood swings") phase of Sprigatito's line involved it's *mood* effecting its "edge" / "hardness" ...of it's fur, but still - Kierans a "moody teen", right? Anyway, imagine Kieran with a Pokémon that would be as obsessed with him as he was with Ogerpon, lol (/jk)

•It's a grass type, which tend to suit Kieran, and he seems to have an affinity for (Ogerpon, Dipplin line, Shiftry, etc.). It developing a dark type as it evolves reflects Kieran's arc - it's final evolution is also both MASKED (reflecting Ogerpan hyperfixation and Kieran's family's history), and Jester / Mardi Gras themed, which goes along with the festival theme Kieran exhibited during the Teal Mask DLC ( like with his Dipplin). Both Kieran and Meowscarada have those cute droopy eyes too, which is a fun design element to connect the too, if nothing else, lol

•Getting further out with the idea, though: It's lines shiny is, fubckin' oURPLE!! Purple cat for the ourple boy, thank you,, (and how shiny!Meowscarada has a purple cuff and an invisible "leash" [its flower bud] around its neck is vaguely similar to the purple chain of the Loyal three...okay I'm really reaching now but still. teehee... ). Hey, anyone notice how purple is a complementary color for yellow, which happens to be Kieran's eye and main acccesory (headband / bag) color and -- I'm going anywhere with this, I just think its neat 👍

•Honestly just replace his current cat (Incineroar) with Meowscarada - Incineroar suits Carmine a lot better imo...which is why it's my theory it's on his final team, but that's. Also a different post I'll probably never make :^)

•Like, I get why they wouldn't have given Kieran a Paldaen starter for his team (for a variety of reasons, honestly), but,, Think about it •Sprigatito using its kneading on Kieran's (fluffy, sowwy ponytail!Kieran fans) hair for impromptu aromatherapy would probably be good for this kids anxiety tbh

*IMAGINE Kieran picking up mask-making in Hassel's art class - IMAGINE the positive energy and outlet art (not battling) and a professor like Hassel would provide this kid!!

TL;DR: DLC where Kieran transfers to Naranja / Uva Academy when GameFreak.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk. The more you know 🌈

Update tomorrow + Gen 9 Spoiler Banner Ending

Hi everyone!

I will finally be posting Fuecoco’s line tomorrow! I’m delaying it a day so I can announce that I will no longer be using the Gen 9 spoiler banner image that I had been including before every Gen 9 art post. I will also be removing them from older art posts.

It’s been two months with them, and I think it’s been a reasonable amount of time. I also won’t be using spoiler tags, but new Gen 9 art posts will be tagged “Gen9″ and “Paldea,” as a part of my usual tags.

Also, I apologize if things have been slower than usual recently; my aunt was recently diagnosed with late stage cancer and my family has been scrambling to help take care of her and get things in order. I appreciate your patience and understanding.

#IPPupdate #sorry to get all personal on y'all #life has been really stressful lately #so I'm giving myself time to do art when I feel up to it so it's a nice break and not just more work

Roy for the SEND ME A CHARACTER thing plz

I actually forgot I reblogged that omg but I have been wanting to talk more about Roy so THANK YOU!!

Sexuality headcanon: Aroace

Gender headcanon: Cis male (he/him)

A ship I have for Roy: None because I hc him as aroace

A BROTP I have for Roy: Liko, Dot and I can see him getting along really well with Ann if they meet during the terastal arc

A NOTP I have for Roy: idk, I don't actually have any issues with the ships he's in (even though I don't ship any of them personally). So my only NOTPS for him are the illegal ones, for obvious reasons.

A random headcanon: How about multiple?

1- I hc Roy has a lot of freckles on his arms, legs, hands and face from being outdoors a lot on the island growing up, he probably also has a few scars from getting into accidents while playing in the woods, climbing trees or building his secret hideout.

2- He has ADHD.

3- I don't think he sleeps much? Maybe because he's thinking about new battle strategies to try with Fuecoco and Wattrel or thinking about catching the black Rayquaza but I feel like he'd be up late most nights because he just can't sleep and would sometimes run into Dot or others like Friede and Murdock who frequent the kitchen at around two am.

4- So us Likodot shippers talk a lot about the scene where Dot confesses she's Nidothing to Liko, right? Well, off screen there must've been a scene where Dot told Roy too and I like to think he'd already figured it out by the time Dot told him. There's no way he didn't notice Dot quickly run away before Nidothing started speaking after Iono showed up or put two and two together when Liko showed him the picture of Dot in her Nidothing costume from the indoor picnic. I imagine Dot went to find Roy after telling Liko she's Nidothing, preparing for it to be difficult and for him to not get it at all but the second she said she needed to talk to him about something to do with Nidothing he instantly just asked her "Oh yeah! Aren't you Nidothing?"

5- He has such a big heart so I believe he makes friends really easily, with everyone quickly taking a liking to him due to how enthusiastic and kind he is.

My general opinion on Roy: I absolutely love him, he's such a great character. His friendships with the other RVTs and his Pokemon are all so sweet, I really like the scenes where he caught Fuecoco and Wattrel because of how full of emotion both scenes were in such different ways. He's such a good friend to those around him too, from helping Fuecoco and Wattrel learn new things, helping Liko escape the angry bug types and him and Liko knowing exactly how to help Dot open up to them in episode 41. I also can't get over how he instantly knew who Dot was just because of how comfortable Quaxly was with her, even Friede was surprised by that, I feel like it really says something about his character. He's one of my favorites.

#again thank you so much for asking this #I've been wanting to talk more about Roy and this was the perfect chance for me #chaotic-tinkaton #roy pokemon #pokemon roy #pokemon horizons #pokemon #roy #pokemon headcanons #HELP I THOUGHT I POSTED THIS YESTERDAY BUT I SAVED IT AS A DRAFT INSTEAD

After the controlled burn i got to go back to the academy lab and see the new batch of incoming starters!! Theyre a bit inexperienced and still young right now, so its my job to help out wherever and whenever i can with these little guys!! Oh.. i wonder who their trainers will be when they get older…

Theres a sprigatito, quaxly, and fuecoco!! Though i guess you guys would have already known that ^^’

The sprigatito is very independent, classic of a cat pokemon, and seems to be the leader of the little trio! I think shes the oldest… they at least treat her that way. She often shares her food with the others and doesnt eat until they have.

The fuecoco is veeerry shy. She might be the youngest of them all, she often hides behind the quaxly and any loud noises or sudden movements spook her half to death. I have caught her singing to herself whenever she thinks shes alone though…

And the quaxly! He.. is a rowdy guy. I dont think he knows how to preen himself properly yet, so his hair is a bit of a mess…. The sprigatito has to chase him down and pin him in place so she can groom his feathers for him!! Definitely is going to be some rambunctious kids best friend one day!

Trying so hard not to give these guys names because theyre not my pokemon but theyre just so full of personality!! Will keep you guys updated on the training process for them :)

Pokemon: Paldean Winds Episode 1 Review - GO WATCH THIS RIGHT NOW!

I forgot Paldean Winds started today. Holy Mother of Arceus, it was AMAZING! The animation was crisp and beautiful, courtesy of Wit Studio, Ufotable, Liden Films and Studio Hibari. If Gen 8 had Twilight Wings, Paldean Winds is the Gen 9 equivalent. It’s only the first episode and I love it already!

It tells an original story that still follows the core theme of treasure hunting. There are three original characters all with their own unique personalities and stories with Ohara being the first focus. Ohara is a talented flutist who has been experiencing burn out and pressure due to parental expectations as her father is a renowned conductor. Flute has been her life, but she’s unsure if she still has the passion for it. She wants to quit, but she’s unsure what do with her life afterwards. She’s also tasked with making a promotional video for the academy with Aliquis and Hohma, but she’s still trying to find herself before she can help with it. It’s thanks to a chance encounter with Arven, an angry Cetitan and the help of her loyal Fuecoco that she realizes that she loves playing the flute and it is her treasure alongside her partner Pokemon. The video is only 11 minutes long, but the way it managed to convey an entire story and message in that amount of time is amazing.

I think Ohara’s story can be related to those who are following their parents’ footsteps in their respective fields. This got me thinking about how I had no talent for piano despite my mom being a piano teacher. I quit piano as a kid and spend my childhood wondering what I’d become before walking the path of becoming a writer and here I am as one; I do want to learn piano again someday.

The animation was amazing. The details they put in was immaculate. There were three scenes that stood out to me in terms of animation. The first is showing off how small Gimmighoul is. It’s a very tiny Pokemon, so for the camera angle to show off how big everything and everyone is compared to its small frame was seriously amazing. The scene with Tinkaton playfully chasing after Corviknight was beautiful as well. They seriously kept to the lore presented in Tinkaton’s Dex entry regarding her history with the Raven Pokemon. I loved the small detail of her holding her trainer’s hand and then letting it go to chase after it. Lastly, everything regarding the Glaseado Mountains was seriously high quality. The way Arven was running away from the angry Cetitan was extremely well-animated. Seriously, there’s a reason why Wit Studio is highly praised. On top of that, ufotable and Liden Films were involved in the project too! I think every anime fan knows how well ufotable animates; I’m not too familiar with Liden Films’ anime projects, but they do have their fair share of quality works.

The original characters have so much personality. Ohara is reserved and unsure of herself. Aliquis keeps to himself, but has a short temper. Hohma is easily excitable and knowledgable. Fuecoco has so much personality as well! The way it is so loyal to Ohara is sweet. It’s a bit childish, but still goes out of its way to find her flute moved my heart. The fact that they went out of their way to give these characters so much life and personality shows the love and care this project has. This also applies to the actual canon characters from the games! Nemona has a small cameo, but her passion for battles still lingers when she gets super excited to teach younger students about Terastal. Arven’s stoic personality shows too as it’s canon that he doesn’t really involve himself with others unless they help him out. This is applied here. Arven was just walking by and staring at Ohara, not caring about her situation or what she’s doing on the mountain. He talks to her after she helps him out and then they bond a bit over having high status parents; he then tells her to cherish her Fuecoco. Clavell isn’t shown much, but he’s still the same director who cares a lot about his students. I also love the details of the Academy teachers attending Ohara’s band concert alongside Nemona. Seriously, this animated series is super high quality and I’m getting way too emotional over it.

The voice acting is really good too! I actually watched this in both English and Japanese and both sides did a great job in terms of acting. Most of the English actors are relatively new faces (aside from Pete Zarustica who voices Clavell as he’s a veteran voice actor for Pokemon and other dubs), but they did an amazing job. I really like Cat Protano’s acting as Ohara. She really nails it. I hope that the other episodes focuses on the other characters because I want to see more!

This anime only has its first episode as of today and there will only be four episodes, but I totally recommend watching this. Whether you’re a long-time Pokemon fan or a casual anime watcher, this is a definite must-watch! Please watch it! It’s on Youtube, so go over there and immerse yourself in the beauty that is Paldean Winds.

Liko being the realest about the pokedex

Full context and french version under the cut.

So, I am starting to watch the pokemon horizons anime, in its (nice) French localisation, as they become available on the French free TV Gulli (and on its replay website).

The series felt good quite quickly and it is always nice and relaxing to enjoy watching pokemon in my native language. Furthermore when the plot and character are this rounded.

Anyway, I was enjoying watching episode 4 and got to this very point where Liko asks her motismart-pokedex about its entry on "Chochodile" (i.e the french name for "Fuecoco") while searching for the disappeared Chochodile of the crew. And, there, right after the usual "generic pokedex entry lecture", with the pokedex screen in frame, it cuts to this depicted scene, with liko's French voice delivering an on point : "Merci. Mais, ça ne m'aide pas beaucoup." (In English, it translates to the captioned : "Thanks. But, it doesn't help me much.")

I let out a heartfelt chuckle hearing the line. And, this is when I was confirmed it was well worth waiting for the french localization to discover this series. This good feeling from a mundane line is the stuff of good shows.

So, here we are, I took the time, afterward, to snap, edit, compose and caption this frame, thinking it could, at least make for a fine reaction image.

All in all : This is a little nugget of love for this great animated series and for its great French localization, following strong of the original pokemon series French version.

Have the picture with the original French caption :

... Thanks for reading all the way to here. Also, as usual, here are original link for uploads of the two versions : English : https://i.servimg.com/u/f20/16/97/75/61/likore12.jpg French : https://i.servimg.com/u/f20/16/97/75/61/likore10.jpg

saw emery make a new journeys team for ash and wanted to take a crack at it + idea for his horizons team

journeys:

inteleon: chose this as the starter he gets because i like the idea of there being an arc of him taking this very timid pokemon that wants to be strong but feels too weak to make a difference and ash is the one that helps it gain confidence. was also gonna say that it could look up to leon's inteleon but i'm assuming that leon would only have rillaboom like it is in the games rather than all three starters

flapple: i originally chose this to be the sweeper that ash tends to prefer before realizing oh wait flapple's speed is actually kinda mediocre. still like it as a choice for him though

falinks: stealing emery's idea here because i'm biased and falinks is my favourite gen 8 pokemon. emery mentioned dracovish being the "oddball" choice for ash but i think falinks fits that better since dracovish is (was?) very popular in competitive scenes. idk man i just like falinks

alcremie: fuck mr mime ash deserved to have an actual fairy type. again stealing emery's idea of it being the same one from the cake episode because that's the episode that made me start to really like alcremie

perrserker: honestly so disappointed that matori's alolan meowth never showed up again after sun and moon so here's my continuation of that with ash getting a galarian meowth. i think it has comedic potential with it loving team rocket's meowth (contrast to matori's meowth being a cunt) but tr's meowth fucking hates it. also perrserker is just a good pokemon and i think it suits him

honourable mentions:

toxtricity: either form could work. i liked the idea of ash getting a toxel egg and raising it but i forgot that there's this unspoken rule that ash can't have any other electric type besides pikachu so i scrapped it

stonjourner: another choice for the "weird" team member. don't really have much reasoning behind this one other than i think it would be kinda cute in a strange way?

mr rime: instead of them retconning delia's mr mime, ash instead gets a galarian mr mime and evolves it. if leon still has his mr rime then there could be a rivalry there maybe?

horizons:

quaquaval: typically i consider fuecoco to be the most ash-like starter, but i really love the idea of arven being a potential companion and i think he should get fuecoco because of it being food-themed. i could honestly see ash getting both too but i prefer this. i don't think he would get sprigatito though, though i think meowscarada suits him too

armarouge: taking horizons and paldean winds into account, i think scarlet is considered to be the canon version that the anime would follow. also if we use amethio as a stand-in for the rival (or hell he could still be there) then i think ash getting armarouge would contrast nicely with his ceruledge

houndstone: alright hear me out: ash gets a houndstone, female companion gets a dachsbun (or vice versa really), arven has his mabosstiff. ahh ahhh i'm roatating it in my midn it's beautfiul *puppy dog town* *puppy dog village* ***cuppy dog city*** i wanna i wanna go ahhh

dudunsparce: let's finally give this man his dunsparce. he can even have a three-segment version as a treat

koraidon: come on it's the sv box legendary of course he has to have that. same reasoning as armarouge for choosing koraidon over miraidon. i promise this isn't my favouritism speaking

honourable mentions:

bombirdier: the weird choice. emery and i had a joke about ash owning a bombirdier that would randomly kidnap babies (evil stork) and hijinks ensue and i was so tempted to go with it because of that but ultimately decided against it. if not ash then i think this should've been on team rocket's paldean team

grafaiai/lokix: ???? idk i just think it would be cool

palafin: would've been on the team if not for quaquaval

tinkaton: tinkaton

#bwark #edit: actually thinking on it a little more i do think i prefer ash getting dachsbun and the female companion getting houndstone. oh well

This is not a request, but what do you think the gang does for fun in between classes? For some reason I feel like they'd all be playing hacky sack or some shit lmaooo

Hm... NGL part of me lowkey feels like the meme squad is kinda like the breakfast club in that they probably didn't spend much time together in school after their ordeal. Like they would acknowledge each other in the halls or whatever, but... I dunno, I think they'd all be too focused on their own thing, especially since the player and nemona are the only two in the same track.

Nemona's got a lot on her plate as a champion rank trainer and class president

Penny...just straight up is not a social child lmfao

And Arven? I don't really see him as the sort who reaches out to others to just hang out. Boy's been alone for too long and isn't used to asking for help.

THAT SAID. I think after graduation with Nemona, Penny, and the player all working for the league, they would find a way to bring Arven into the fold. I'm thinking they play board games and like...jack box or mario kart on like a weekly basis. Penny has the sweet set up, Arven brings snacks, and Nemona and the player bring actual skills to the games lmfao

They also probably get a group chat going that is 100% memes, but everyone has different meme styles. Like Penny is v much gen z absurdist "me n the boys @ 3am looking for some BEANS" type of haunted humor.

Nemona loves pokemon humor, like she spams videos of igglybuffs getting yeeted away by the wind or of fuecocos being just DUMB AS HELL

meanwhile Arven loves the pokemon equivalent of minion memes. don't ask him why, he just...he fuckin loves those lil guys. he has all the humor of a facebook mom wrapped up into one hot guy.

god i love him so much.

everyone also constantly posts cute pictures of their pokemon doing just the most mundane shit like it's the most important thing in the world

#trainer arven #arven pokemon #rival arven #pokemon scarlet and violet
