Yamask Lore

(Art by Knightlight9 on Deviantart)

The First Yamasks

Yamask originated in a region far east of Paldea. Early writing shows that they were referred to as “šwtba” which would refer to a spiritual shadow and a soul. For simplicity, I am still going to refer to them as Yamask. The writing also shows that the Yamask looked quite different. They were more bird-like and had almost entirely human masks, and almost always appeared after someone died.

Death Masks

A death mask is a mask of someone’s face that is made after they die. The practice originally came from this region. But the practice would appear in many cultures throughout different time periods, which is how Yamask were able to spread. Despite a lot of other Galarian forms of Pokemon, Yamask weren’t brought over here by colonization. Researchers still don’t know how or when they got here. They just appeared one day.

Galarian Yamask

The Yamask here couldn’t wear the masks because not many were made here. But you know what was made here a lot? Runes. These runes can be really similar to the masks, as many of the stone runes were made after someone died. These runes were super common and placed almost all throughout Galar, so it wasn’t difficult for Yamask to find them. A thing that I personally find cool is that they’re said to be the spirits of Vikings, which is why they carry around runes. Vikings made all sorts of rune stones after all. So the curses that the Pokedex mentions? Plenty of rune stones have references to curses if they’re not already cursed themselves.

So ... is Rei around? No reason for asking. I'm just going on a Rei Train and want to know if he's around in Aspects.

He is there! And I like to see him growing more and more confident, brave and bold while out with Akari surveying. Pokemon scare him but he slowly starts to forge closer and closer bonds with the pokemon in his team as he learns more about them as a whole.

Bonus:

The one unofficial photo Professor Laventon managed to snag of these two staying still for once.

#pokemon!aspects #akari #rei #I like to think that photo in present day winds up being the center of some historian's arguments #and once back in present day Akari finds it so funny

God wait if Legends Z-A is the Hausmann Renovation that period of time does include the Second French Empire

Meaning not only might we get Pokémon Napoleon III, a character in the series might be descended from Pokémon Napoleon III, and Pokémon Napoleon III might be a bad guy

#I am so curious what the gameplay is gonna be wrt outfits I've been googling fashion in that time period and it's not really good for #running and tumbling and catching Pokémon #locally I have a secret weapon: my dad is a fashion historian so I asked if he knew anything #pokemon legends z-a #wouldn't be funny if it's like z-a because we're like slipping backwards I. time or some shit

Thrice is a pattern? Ingun?? ARE YOU GOING TO GIVE INGO A GUN???

Hehehehehe... :>

"Lucas, Dawn. Guns are dangerous.

...Having said that, where did the merchant go?"

I think he should be terrifying. As a treat. He doesn't really have need for it until Volo, though, aside from maybe scaring off a couple alphas. There isn't much in Hisui that can go against his team.

A person going by the name Tash (lpevhybrid) just emailed me some new pictures from a visit they had at the Pokémon Center NY store in June 2003! Really amazing stuff! I’m totally in love with the photos of the plush “Giants” and the animatronics!

[ask-the-history-teacher]

(shaymincafe) Pumpkin @ Wanda: "The Great War"? Sounds... scary. Do you know exactly why there was a historical blackout? Was it caused by some sort of great literature loss? Like the purposeful burning of records?

Wanda sighed, "Honestly, I don't, no one does," Wanda began to get excited again, "But that's exactly what makes it so interesting! We do know a few things about it though, there were these devices known as pokeballs that were invented and used, though any uncovered don't work, most are barely intact, and only a few were uncovered without their pieces being scattered about! You can actually see one of these in the museum right here in Lumiose! While the use is definitely frightening, it's extremely interesting! Able to store a Pokemon in such a tiny space! Though it is definitely fortunate that none of them work and scientists are unable to reverse engineer them, I can see that being abused real quick!"

Introduction Post

Hello members of Rotomblr. I am Professor Runa, a historian in the Galar region. I study ancient cultures, myths, and religions across the world.

More about me under the cut

I was born in the Crown Tundra, but moved to the Wild Area in mainland Galar to raise my kid, @quillpokebiology . I'm in my 50s and go by she/her pronouns. I'm a fan of Dragapult, if it isn't already obvious. Never participated I the gym challenge, so I've never had a traditional pokemon journey, but by my logic, I've still had one. Just involved a bit of illegal stuff and legendary hunting, which I will NOT be getting into!

Team

I actually have a lot of pokemon, since I own a small farm, and i had to csre for my husband's pokemon after he died. But I'm really fond of ghost types and ancient pokemon, which shows with my team. Some of their names might be hard to pronounce, and I apologize for that. I'm not good with names, so they'll be a bit basic.

Aosmhor-Dragapult

(Pronounced Aosh-war). Aosmhor was my first pokemon, which I hatched from an egg when she was a dreepy. Her name translates from old southern Galarian, meaning "old" or "senile." She can seem intimidating, but she's a super sweet girl, albeit a bit naughty. The dreepy are named Sky and Stormy, btw.

Mallaithe-Runerigus

(Pronounced Mall-ee-hay) Mallaithe is my Runerigus that I caught as a Yamask after accidently breaking an old cursed tomb. A lot of stuff happened, and long story short, she forgave me, and I caught her. I didn't name her myself, but I somehow just knew this was her name.

Kronos-Golurk

Kronos doesn't do much, just sitting around my house all day and guarding from whatever. I've had him since I was a kid, and he was the second pokemon I caught. I just leave him to his own devices.

Toki-Claydol

I found them as a Baltoy in these creepy ruins in Hoenn, and that's what the tag translated said, so I just named them Toki They mostly stay in their pokeball since they creep a lot of people out.

Osiris-Sigilyph

Osiris is one of the more confusing pokemon I have. He mostly just flies around looking and scanning things. But he'll sometimes bring me back artifacts he finds, which is nice.

Anyways yeah, that's my intro post. Feel free to stay if you want to hear cool history.

Ooc

Hello 👋. This is a blog I made to talk about my headcanons on pokemon history and the pokemon world. This is kinda a spinoff of my main rotomblr blog, @quillpokebiology , since that focuses more on biology.

Rules

1. My character is still in development, and some stuff may change! I'll try to acknowledge the contradictions

2. Keep asks and submissions SFW! This blog is run by a minor and is a PG area. Don't be gross!

3. Some of the stuff might be based on real history, but just a pokemon version of it. I'm a history nerd irl, and this is me combining 2 things I love

4. This blog is just for fun, and I'm not trying to offend anyone. If you find something offensive, please tell me and I'll look at it

5. If your account has the default tumblr pfp, is untitled, has no description, has a pornographic name, or pornagraphic imagery, I'll assume that you are a bot and you will be blocked

ik ppl really dont like it when old franchises do this but idk i think pokemon has influencers down pretty well. as long as its not obviously written by old men trying to stay hip with the times and purely doing it to be like “lol loser meme” or something like that, i dont think the concept itself is bad. if anything i actually think that fits pretty well into the pokemon world and it makes for cute slice of life content

#its when its like ''uuh oh... where's the FILTER (fumbles at the mirror)'' or ''oops i need a SELFIE'' during a dramatic moment #that its annoying and feels purely done to be like ''lol its like a thing teens do its dumb and goofy'' #and raihan and iono dont really feel like that so far. for one it wasnt raihans entire deal; hes a historian and a professor #hes just also really laid back and likes to take selfies. and we get a couple of subtle things alluding to that #like in the second journeys opening where he posts selfies of him and ash/goh/leon to pokemon twitter really quick #and its more charming and fun than ''uhhh what filter is THAT'' jokes yknow #and iono just feels like a streamer. nothing abt her felt like it was written by older ppl trying to make dated phone jokes #like her stream was just her hyping up her squishmallow pokemon friend and its so cute #idk i dont think this sort of thing is bad. like influencers are an actual thing so why not #its just really easy to fuck up or make annoying #echoed voice

[averagewatertypetrainer]

(From @camphriermesagoza) hit post limit so I had to crawl into your inbox directly. Are y’all talking about that nifty quartet of sealed Pokémon from Paldean history? We started studying them in class recently, I’ve been getting really into the topic.

hi! i dont go to history class because im too busy fishing. i have no idea what the fuck youre talking about!

i should really go back to classes.

#ok i do KNOW that there were a quartet of specific pokemon. thats it #i am not a historian or a smart person in general. i dont even go to class half the time

one of my dreams has always been to somehow be an npc in a pokemon game and like right now I even have how the character design would be and what my role would be and GAME FREAK LET ME BE IN A GAME I SWEAR I WOULD BE A COOL CHARACTER

#pokemon #like i would have tropius as my companion (cause he's my favourite pokemon <3) and he would act as my mode of transport as well #i would be an archaeologist / ancient historian (inventive i know) travelling the region #amd i would basically dump lore to the player at old places #maybe have something to do with legendary pokemon #maybe being able to be battled in the postgame idk #but yeah !!! it needs to happen !!! #i also see it as a potential anime companion which i would love

Do you happen to know flower language? - @untitledducklett

Yes, and no.

Flower meanings aren't universal, and their meanings can also be shaped by time. Some flowers don't mean what they once did. But I'm familiar with the general modern Kalosian use, yes.

Do I dare ask why you want to know?

#untitledducklett #rotumblr #pokeblogging #pokemon irl #you're talking to a historian Cael #did you expect a simple answer here #do you need a lecture on the history of flower languages? I know a few books you could read
