You’re challenged by Bookworm Becky!
Superheroine Wordgirl wants to battle!
My “as close as I can get to Pokemon” style is back! ... and just as confused as before.
Ah, the official Pokemon style. It changes with every generation, has confusing shading techniques in some gens, and I just kinda had to go with “the best I could manage” again XP (pretty proud of Bob’s tail flame though! That was tricky to do).
Moving on from my artist woes, it’s Becky and Bob Botsford and their secret identities of Wordgirl and Captain Huggyface! Been on a Wordgirl kick recently and since it came directly after a Pokemon kick, well, my brain inevitably crossed the two over. My brain also decided that it was enough of a masochist to want to take another crack at Pokemon style(ish), so here we are! I think the lineart has improved for the most part for human characters; I definitely felt more confident making Becky/Wordgirl! I actually based her off Shauna from XY... Not sure what urged me to do so, but I guess it worked so I ain’t complaining, haha.
Posing was actually tricky. I was originally going to put Becky in a bit more of a cutesy pose, but actually decided against it. She’s Becky Botsford, mild mannered ten year old. I figured, why not make the contrast between her and the Wordgirl pose all the more apparent? Ya know, put all her energy into the bold super-identity! So that I did, though I will say hands pointing at the screen is not a fav of mine to do at the moment, lol
As for Bob, I honestly didn’t really think of many difference there’d be between him and a regular Monferno, but I did add a couple of extra hair tufts to the back of his head. They’re there to represent the front hair tufts he has in the show :3 And of course he’s gotta be eating something, so I looked around and found a berry that would work for him. Not that he’d discriminate against most other berries, but I wanted one that made sense in some way, so a Shuca berry it was! They halve the damage from a super-effective ground-type attack, and have a “spicy-sweet-smooth” flavor chart and with Monferno being a fire type, I figured that spicy part worked out.
Speaking of, it actually took a moment of my time to brainstorm through what Pokemon to make Bob. It had to be a monkey, but what kind? First, there was the point of what type to make him, so I watched a few Wordgirl episodes and happened across a fight between him and Leslie and basically slapped my forehead because a doi- Fighting type for his ability to do Karate! So with that narrowed down, I tried to go through my memories for what monkey Pokemon were fighting types. Passiman came first, but they’re a bit too big for Bob to be. The Mankey line doesn’t quite fit in with his body type or nature, so I had to forgo that too. Then I remembered the fire-fighting starter monkey that made an obvious fit: Monferno! Which also works out because of course a ten year old would have a starter Pokemon as a main partner, and Monferno also shares the blue and red that Captain Huggyface’s uniform has.
Becky/Wordgirl wasn’t too hard to redesign outside of doing it in (the as close as I can get to) Pokemon style. The hardest part of Becky was the skirt thanks to shading, but I think I managed something decent. Second place actually goes to her book bag though. That main button was harder to nail down than I thought it’d be... As for the charms, I thought they could be a cute nod to two main things about her- the secret identity and her love of unicorns, which I figured would translate into a love of Ponyta/Rapidash in the Pokemon universe. Especially the Galarian forms, haha.
On the Wordgirl side, there was a bit more I decided to add. Most of it was dedicated to making her uniform feel a little bit more Pokemon-y, so I added some extra details to the boots and gloves then added pouches to her belt. The goggles were technically a part of that too, but also just because I like the idea of her one day adding them to her uniform (maybe one too many times of getting random goop in her eyes would make her consider it lol). I definitely like the results- I think it makes her look a bit like she’s wearing some sort of space hero outfit :D
As for what exactly this AU would entail, I’d like to think it wouldn’t change much from the main show. Becky lives in a city somewhere in Unova, living her daily life as a regular trainer that goes to a quaint little school with her partner Pokemon, Bob the Monferno (that’s totally normal to have as a starter in Unova; please ignore the part where she should have a Unovian starter). But in her secret double life, she takes on the odd supervillains in her city as Wordgirl, alien superheroine with a perfect vocabulary! But I do imagine Captain Huggyface would get to do more with his moveset of Ember, Close Combat, Mach Punch, and Focus Energy, (Becky unfortunately slacks a little on Pokemon training) as well as an appetite that rivals a Snorlax.
... Wow I rambled about my process. Well, thanks to anyone who read through it all; y’all have a nice day/evening!

@ask-world-guardians Pyren: Woooooah, a Lugia! That's so- GOOD LORD, what happened to you?! You look like you fought a night terror, or something.
Tumblr media
"Oh dear, I do wish you didn't have to see me in such a sorry state, but I suppose it can't be helped."
"…Night terror? Well, anyway, I was attacked whilst travelling back to warmer waters. I suppose swimming instead of flying may have prevented the attack, but hindsight is 20/20, as they say."
"In any case, I was not expecting a fight, much less being attacked so brutally. It all happened so fast, I was unable to even get a look at my attacker..."

Pyren: Hey Basil, what exactly does “group theory” mean? What kind of study is that? Is it about, like, the science of friendship?
Tumblr media
Basil scoffs. "Science of friendship my ASS where do you think you are? Kindergarten class? Get outta here!!"
After listening to Basil's little tirade, Jokull decides to chime in, in an attempt to lift the tense mood:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Basil turns back to the Monferno, clearly irritated. "Anyway, since you're not EDUCATED, and I AM a professor after all. I shall explain the inner workings of the topic to you."
The Leafeon smirks rather devilishly, readjusting the sucker that is in his mouth.
"Group theory is the study of these algebraic structures called...HAH, you guessed it! Groups! It's a beautiful topic, these abstract little structures are particularly used to represent symmetry of the world around us. For example, the very molecules everything and everyONE ismade out of. I've been dedicatin' my entire sorry life to studyin' that stuff, but maybe we should start with the basics first."
"What IS a group anyway? Groups are defined as a non-empty set with a binary operation. Every group needs to have these 3 things: associativity of any 3 elements, an identity element, and an inverse element."
"Lemme give you an easy example. The set of all integers under addition. Just think about it. Any ol' integers can be added together in any ol' order and it'll be the same damn thing. The identity element is 0 - any ol number plus 0 is just that same number! And the inverse, you just add the negative of that number to get your identity element. And boom. there ya have it. Easy, eh? Let's keep goin'!"
Tumblr media
Honestly, anyone else would have stopped listening after the very first sentence the Leafeon uttered about the topic. He is now going on a tangent, explaining all the concepts behind group theory. But undoubtedly, everything is going in one ear and leaving through the other...you are utterly and hopelessly lost.
Jokull, who has been standing around listening in on the conversation, turns to Pyren, knowing that this is probably all too much for the poor Monferno.
