◆↬ jaide e. stone ; profile↫◆

[ pre i/ii - rgb arc - aged 0-18] (may change)

◆↬ jaide is a self-taught aprijuice merchant. she started when she was quite young - she liked to collect apricorns with her teddiursa and was quite fond of roller-skating to maximize the apriblender's juicing proficiency.

◆↬ she picked up on this trade when her mother introduced this concept to her which was still new at the time, and enjoyed this as a hobby before turning it into a profession

◆↬her childhood companions consisted of; teddiursa, hoppip, and ralts (all evolved as years go by). she is strictly not a trainer, but has practiced basic pokemon battle conduct

◆↬ jaide is an older sister to a sibling named gold, with an age gap of 8 years.

◆↬as kids, they were an interesting duo. while they were quite the tough kids, they have their own styles in projecting it (his actions / her words). gold took an interest in skateboarding to copy her roller-skating tendencies

◆↬she wasn't exactly the same as her adult counterpart. she was a little rough around the edges and sometimes played hard with her words. she isn't the type to fight, but she knew how to get around people older than her and she was rarely afraid. she was fast, charismatic and somewhat smug

◆↬ jaide was gifted with an interesting skill to be able to read other pokemon's natures, almost psychic-like thanks to her kirlia who was able to steer her guesses in the right path. this would later be very useful when aprijuice would be popular in the pokeathalon games in allowing pokemon improve their performance in the multitude of sports*

*(this is aligned with the game mechanic where several drinks have different results with consideration on the nature of the pokemon drinking it and flavor of the drink)

◆↬most people buy her drinks because it actually refreshes the pokemon - but what customers don't know is the underlying magic it does when you mix the right flavor with the right nature/personality of pokemon. that's what fascinates her the most. this can only be achieved because of her good perception of pokemon natures.

◆↬jaide wanted to make it a point that her aprijuice business would expand beyond johto - her personal reason being to introduce the beauty of it. she sees aprijuice production as an intricate way to create natural beverages (and not artificial) for pokemon. (which admittedly, is a commonplace in johto. i.e: kurt and his pokeball production)

[ gsc - oras arc - aged 19-25+ ] (most present frame)

◆↬jaide becomes more mild and calm in her personality due to maturity and events that occured in gsc, though she still retained the cheeky personality but it would be more sly and vague. and being a mom. of course /lh

◆↬meeting steven was definitely a curveball thrown at her direction because he's one of the rare people who can see through her cheeky facade. it's common for them to have interesting back and fourth that either sounded smart or really flirty. only they know really.

◆↬after officially being renamed to his family name, she treats aprijuice making as a hobby instead, she passes her knowledge to ruby and this helped him indulge in making pokeblocks. while it's hoenn's equivalent to her juice, she doesn't mind it as long as he's learning something.

trivia ;

- her pokemon team consists of: (old to recently joined)

gardevoir, ursaring, jumpluff, glaceon (previously eevee), solrock, aron

- it's a bit of a running gag with new bark town's population that jaide and gold are the kids with the worst natural bed hair /lh (it's just like that)

- jaide and gold loved to skate together in the national park as kids

- the e. in her maiden name is evergreen

- goldenrod city her favorite landmark since it's the most modernized section of johto. definitely likes shopping there

- jaide doesn't skate anymore, but if she were in a floor of ice, (usually caused by her glaceon), she probably would skate a little. just for old time's sake.

- jaide has met all the johto and hoenn dexholders + only red from kanto. (mt silver incident) she has never personally seen blue, green and yellow but only through others' accounts of them

- she is right-handed.

- semi-canon statement, if she had a mega stone, it would be attached to the back of her necklace

- she supports fran.ticshipping :]]] (she also emotionally supports sapphire as she's not really good at expressing herself without being wild)

- dislikes zinnia. that's it /lh

- in my head, i imagine she's currently living in hoenn but she occasionally visits johto when she can just to see her mother and gold

#im so eepy aha but if im gonna make that heavy lore shit i gotta at least lay the foundation for jaide's personality or else its confusing #ok gn!!!! teehee #~ loreposting #pokespe hours #jaide (mangaverse).insert

Can you talk about what exactly blue’s (f) arc was in FRLG?

I have two thoughts on her "arc" in frlg: that it's conceptually interesting and that she also suffered from a nonsensical personality change

FRLG opens with Silver stating that Green has recovered from her trauma with the help of her friends. This is the logical next step to take her development after GSC, but Kusaka decided to essentially remove her personality to show that she's grown as a person. Like, her personality was formed from trauma so we're just taking the whole thing away to show that she isn't traumatized anymore, which isn't how people work. This is similar to how Yellow's bravado and denseness has been slowly replaced by softness and shyness ever since she was revealed to be a girl. It doesn't feel like a logical progression like other dexholders have, but instead she just feels like a new version of the same character

Some things about Green in FRLG are completely different. Why does Red say he doesn't want to involve her in the fight? The arc acts like her parents disappearing in front of her is the most traumatic thing instead of, like, just another traumatic event on the list of shit she's been dealing with since she was five. Her response doesn't make sense when we know that her cheeky personality is a response to growing up having to take care of herself, so completely dropping that especially in the face of stress feels weird. I assume she would revert to her old coping mechanisms under stress, but instead she's more open and vulnerable than we've ever seen her despite the rawness of the situation (compare that to how Ruby keeps reverting to his bad coping mechanisms despite his efforts to change). And Red has seen her overcome her fear of birds by capturing the legendary bird trio and showing up to fight with them, so wanting to keep her out of the fight doesn't make sense either. And why does professor oak insist that she's the most sensible kanto dexholder? The girl he publicly humiliated for stealing? She's definitley not more level headed than them enough to justify only giving her vital information. It really does feel like her personality was yanked out and replaced with Generic Girl personality. It doesn't feel like a realistic next step for her development as a person

On the other hand, her "arc" fits really well into the theme of FRLG (though some of it is just speculation). FRLG is a story about these one dimensional characters in a simple shonen universe growing up and realizing that the world is more complicated than they thought, and suffering because they dont realize it at first. For Green, she starts out in new clothes sitting pretty and proper under an umbrella, waiting for her parents to arrive and everything wrong with her childhood to be righted. But since this is FRLG, it isn't that simple, and her parents get abducted by Deoxys. Then later on we get this exchange

where she admits to her parents that she's changed because of what she went through and she can't go home just yet. It seems to me like Green thought she could make everything go back to the way it was before she was kidnapped. That's why the first full shot we get of her is this

where she's sitting all ladylike waiting for them, and she definitely isn't a ladylike person. I think there's some delusion there about a simple world, like other dexholders in this arc, where she thinks if she just acts like the child her parents lost, they'll go back to being the family they were when she was little. But she changed because she was kidnapped, and it's impossible to go back to who she was before all the bad things happened. I think that's what Kusaka was getting at with her here, that just like with Silver the ending is tragic and bittersweet. It feeds really well into the theme of FRLG, even if it isn't focused on much

Gym Leader Pokespe AU

This is basically an au where the dexholders are gym leaders. I picked what types they use based on which type is the most populous in their teams for the most part, but there are cases where a) there are no repeat types in their team, b) I don't think that specific type fits them or c) someone needs to take that type for some variety. I am also making their teams as if they were the 8th gym leader, so you can just imagine the pre-evolutions for earlier gyms.

Red: Fighting type gym. Yes I know Red had 2 water types on his team but I do not see him as water type gym leader. Also he's the Fighter so…His gym is located in Saffron City, Sabrina finally gets booted like she deserves, in place of the Fighting Dojo. He has a strength gym puzzle, if you place the boulders correctly around the room a door opens up that leads you to him but if you fail a trap door opens under you and you fall into a room filled with trainers. There are also Machokes in the room with the puzzle that will try to mess with things so you have to defeat them if you don't want to restart everything. His team is: Hitmontop, Machamp, Hitmonlee, Primeape, Hitmonchan and Poliwrath. Poliwrath is obviously the ace. If you win you get the Dynamic Badge and the TM for Dynamic Punch.

Green: So I know Green already is a gym leader, but I still wanted to give him a monotype team, so…he's a Steel type gym leader now. Did I choose steel simply because I like Scizor a lot? Absolutely. Do I regret it?…partially. I am trying to give them teams that mostly have pokemon from their home region…but Kanto has like…two steel types and that is the Magnemite line so…yeah I had to get some other generation steel types in here. But anyways, onto the gym puzzle…it's the exact same, hooray! His team is: Skarmory, Steelix, Alolan Sandslash, Magnezone, Aegislash and Scizor. I know none of these are gen I pokemon…but I'm doing my best. Steelix, Magnezone and Scizor are evolutions of Kanto pokemon, Alolan Sandslash is an alternate form of a Kanto pokemon and Aegislash he could have picked up while he was in Kalos. Skarmory is there just to set up Stealth Rocks. Scizor is his ace. If you win you get the now renamed Metallic Badge and the TM for Iron Defense.

Blue: So before Fairy was introduced, Blue basically had 4 normal types on her team, so she's a Normal type gym leader. Her gym is located in Vermilion City, since you use a boat from there to get to the Sevii Islands so I think it works for her. Her gym puzzle is basically a sales pitch. You craft some items, like TMs or potions and then you try to convince the gym trainers to buy them. You need to get 1000 pokedollars from your sales if you want to fight Blue. If you don't manage to convince the gym trainers to buy, you have to fight them for the money. Her team is: Ditto, Persian, Kangaskhan, Chansey, Snorlax and Wigglytuff as the ace. If you win you get the Craft Badge and the TM for Hyper Beam.

Yellow: Electric type gym. Pikachu is her whole thing, it would be wrong not to make her an electric type gym leader. Her gym is located in Pewter City since it's the other city close to Viridian Forest. Her gym puzzle is finding 'injured' pokemon in Viridian Forest and healing them. They're not really injured, they're pretending to be for the puzzle. Around the forest there are gym trainers that will battle you to prevent you from helping the injured pokemon. Her team is: Electrode, Jolteon, Electivire, Raichu, Alolan Golem and a Pikachu with a Light Ball to make it strong enough to be her ace. I did not give her any pokemon from the Magnemite line because I don't want 2 gym leaders from the same pokemon line in one region. So she gets Alolan Golem, an alternate form of a Kanto pokemon and Electivire is there because it makes sense as the evolution of a Kanto mon. If you win you get the Lightning Badge and the TM for Thunderbolt.

Gold: Fire type gym. So, personally when I think of Gold the first pokemon that pop into my mind are Togetaro, Mantaro, Explotaro and Ataro, since they are his most iconic in my opinion. So it was a choice between these 4 and since Typhlosion is my favourite starter, he's now a fire type gym leader. His gym is located in Goldenrod City, since it's next to the Day Care. RIP Whitney's Miltank, you will not be missed. His gym puzzle is hatching 4 pokemon eggs and delivering the babies to their mothers. You have 20 minutes after the first egg hatched to deliver them and gym trainers will do their best to stop you, either by stealing the baby pokemon or by putting obstacles in your path. His team is: Arcanine, Magmortar, Ninetales, Magcargo, Houndoom and Typhlosion as his ace. If you win you get the Hatching Badge and the TM for Blast Burn. Yes ik in the pokespe world this is not a TM but let me have this, I swear I have a legitimate reason for giving them the ultimate moves as TMs.

Silver: Water type gym. Silver has 3 water types on his team, ain't no way I am giving him something else. Sorry Weavile. His gym is located in Blackthorn City simply because we cannot have 2 Kingdra trainers in one region and also fuck Clair, she sucks. His gym is a trading game, you give your pokemon to the Gym guide and he distributes them among some of the gym trainers, then you have to trade using rented pokemon to get them back. However if you ask someone to trade and you do not have the required pokemon they will challenge you to a battle using your own pokemon and another pokemon that you might need for another trade. After you get your team back you can challenge Silver. I feel like his gym would be very popular among people that want to evolve their pokemon but don't have friends to trade with. His team is: Shiny Gyarados, Lanturn, Azumarill, Slowking, Kingdra and Feraligatr as his ace. If you win you get the Trading Badge and the TM for Hydro Cannon.

Crystal: Mega is absolutely her most iconic pokemon and since Parasee is part grass, this makes it her most populous type on her team. Technically so is Psychic due to Chumee and Xatee but we'll ignore that. So she's a Grass type gym leader. Her gym is located in Violet City since that's where the orphanage/Pokémon Academy is located. Her gym puzzle is catching specific pokemon that can be found in the grass in her gym. You get 10 of each pokeball and you have to catch a pokemon for each one. The gym trainers will try to stop you either by catching a pokemon before you can get it, scaring pokemon away or battling you. Her team is: Parasect, Jumpluff, Exeggutor, Bellossom, Vileplume and Meganium as her ace. If you win you get the Catching Badge and the TM for Frenzy Plant. So, for the record, I did not plan for the Johtrio to be a fire, grass, water trio, it happened on accident as I was deciding the types for their gyms and I decided to just roll with it and have them match by giving all 3 the ultimate moves as TMs.

Ruby: Fairy type gym. Fairy is like a very pretty type and Ruby is someone who values beauty so it works. Also I refuse to make him a water type gym leader. Sorry Mimi. His gym is in Lilycove City because that's where the Master Rank Pokémon Contests are held. His gym puzzle is basically a bastardized version of a Pokémon Contest, the only difference is that if you don't get a high enough score you have to battle a gym trainer. Ruby, Wallace and White via video call are the judges. His team is: Mawile, Wigglytuff, Clefable, Togekiss, Azumarill and Gardevoir as his ace. Ruby is in a similar situation to Green, not a lot of fairy types in Hoenn so I borrowed from other generations. Also since this is a different region Wigglytuff is fair game for Ruby to have. If you win you get the Beauty Badge and the TM for Charm.

Sapphire: Rock type gym. Imma be honest, I did not know what to do with Sapphire, so I just took all the types of her team, put them on a wheel and it landed on rock so…yeah. If you're disappointed in me, trust me, so am I. The gym is in Rustboro City because we cannot have 2 rock type gym leaders. Her gym puzzle is basically the tower defense game, you get to construct your own secret base and you have to defend it from invaders, be they wild pokemon or gym trainers. If you manage to successfully defend your base for 30 minutes, Sapphire will come to your base to battle you. She's basically the final boss. Her team is: Relicanth, Armaldo, Cradily, Kabutops, Tyranitar and Aggron as her ace. I gave her Tyranitar to make up for the fact that she has Relicanth, Armaldo and Cradily. I feel like these three's uselessness balances out Tyranitar's power. People who play competitive pokemon know what I'm talking about. If you get past Tyranitar you win the Corundum Badge and the TM for Sandstorm. Fun fact, corundum is what sapphires are made of.

Emerald: Psychic type gym. Emerald was the exact opposite of Sapphire, the moment I looked at him I was like, 'Psychic, Emerald is a Psychic gym leader and I will not take any criticism'. He also has a connection with Jirachi, Latias and Latios, who are all psychic types so it works. His gym is in Mossdeep City because again, we cannot have 2 psychic gym leaders. In his gym you are handed a slingshot and small capsules with soil from a pokemon's birthplace. In the gym there are wild angry pokemon you have to shoot the soil at to calm them down. After all of the pokemon are calm you can challenge Emerald. Gym trainers will attempt to anger the pokemon again and if you want them to stop you have to defeat them in battle. His team is: Grumpig, Medicham, Claydol, Starmie, Xatu and Mr. Mime as his ace. If you win you get the Shooter Badge and the TM for Psychic.

Platina: Ghost type gym. This is the exact thing that happened with Green, I really like Froslass so she gets to be a ghost type gym leader. Her gym is located in Hearthome City because Fantina exists so we have to steal her gym. Her gym puzzle is a trivia game combined with an escape room. You get into a room and are given a piece of paper, a feather, the TM for Thief and an Ultra Ball. On the paper there are 3 pokemon listed: Mismagius, Bastiodon and Milotic. Bastiodon's Sinnoh Dex number, #039, ends up being the combination to a safe. You open it and you get a scale. The scale is a clue that leads you to figuring out you need to know the weight of Mismagius, 4.4 kg and with that you find out how much weight you need to put on a pressure plate. A door opens and you get led to another room where you find a plastic copy of the Griseous Orb, a stick and a wild Misdreavus. You use the Ultra Ball to cath Misdreavus and teach it Thief. You also find out it's holding rope. Milotic is 6.2 m long which is how much rope you need to create a pulley system using other items from the room that allows you to open a rusted trap door. You jump into the room and find a Glameow that is very skittish and won't stay still. You use the feather, a stick and some leftover rope to create a toy that will distract the cat long enough for the Misdreavus to use Thief and steal the item the cat had around it's neck. It is a locket with a picture of Giratina, you insert the fake Griseous Orb into the wall and a door opens up to a room where you finally reach Platina. If you don't manage to escape in less than an hour you get taken out of the room and have to beat 6 gym trainers. Her team is: Rotom, Drifblim, Gengar, Spiritomb, Mismagius and Froslass, with the ice type as her ace. If you win you get the Apparition Badge and the TM for Shadow Ball.

Diamond: A Normal type gym leader, because he has 3. This is our first repeat type because there are more dexholders than there are pokemon types. His gym is in Pastoria City because it's in between Hearthome and Sunyshore, which are the gyms of his friends. His gym is a cooking game, you are presented with 5 pokemon with different natures: Naughty, Bold, Sassy, Hasty and Rash. Your objective is to make Poffins that cater to their tastes. If you fail you have to fight that specific Pokemon's gym trainer. His team is: Purugly, Staraptor, Ursaring, Blissey, Lickilicky and Snorlax as his ace. If you win you get the Chef Badge and the TM for Return.

Pearl: Ground type gym. Pearl has almost no repeat types on his team, with the only overlap being Tauhiko and Chahiko, but I already made Dia a normal type gym leader so I went with ground because I also needed someone to take that type. His gym is in Sunyshore because I wanted to place Dia in between him and Platina. In his gym puzzle you are given a pokemon that knows Helping Hand, you have to traverse with the pokemon through a labyrinth. Inside the labyrinth there are pokemon that are able to shatter parts of the walls to make a path or to obtain you a clue, you have to determine what move the pokemon will use next and use Helping Hand to boost it. However if you guess wrong the pokemon will fight you instead. There are also trainers there that will try to stop you. His team is: Hippowdon, Gliscor, Rhyperior, Gastrodon, Garchomp and Dugtrio as his ace. If you get past Garchomp you win the Willpower Badge and the TM for Earthquake.

Black: From his team, the pokemon that always stood out the most to me were Brav and Musha, and I like Braviary more so, Flying type gym leader. His gym is in Mistralton City, because Skyla is a type overlap. In his gym you have to win 3 consecutive battles with only one of your pokemon against trainers who have 3 pokemon so it really forces you to strategize. You have to do this for each one of your pokemon, leading to 18 battles in total. There are flying Braviarys above you that you have to latch onto to get carried to the next trainer. His team is: Archeops, Emolga, Swanna, Mandibuzz, Sigilyph and Braviary as his ace. If you win you get the Aerial Badge and the TM for Aerial Ace.

White: Grass type gym leader because she has 2. Her gym is in Virbank City because of Pokéstar Studios. Her gym puzzle is a musical. Your pokemon have a chance to become actors and they have to reenact a movie where they are the heroes of the story. All trainers are hidden from view for the camera and gym trainer's pokemon act as villains for the movie. Once most of the story is over you get to battle White, with her pokemon pretending to be the big villains of the story. Her team is: Simisage, Lilligant, Ferrothorn, Whimsicott, Sawsbuck and Serperior as her ace. If you win you get the Story Badge and the TM for Magical Leaf.

Lack-two: This is another dexholder with three water types on his team, so he gets the Water Gym. His gym is in Humilau City because of Marlon. His gym puzzle is a murder mystery. You get a file for the fake victim and have to find who killed them. There are clues all around the gym and you have to battle the trainers if you want their testimonies. This all leads around to discovering that the murderer was actually the gym leader all along. Once you figure this out, you can challenge Lack-two. His team is: Simipour, Seismitoad, Jellicent, Carracosta, Kabutops and Samurott as his ace. If you win you get the Clue Badge and the TM for Scald.

Whi-two: Bug type gym leader. Whi-two has 2 pokemon if you don't count the Delphox she got at the end of XY and one of them is a grass type, so we only have one other option for her. Her gym is in Castelia City, taking the place of Burgh. In her gym you have to 'liberate' Pokémon from evil humans. Her gym trainers are pretending to be bad people that you have to defeat to steal their pokemon. Once you defeat them, you take the pokemon to a safe place. You have to be careful because the gym trainers will try to get their pokemon back. Your goal is to help as many pokemon as possible before 15 minutes are up and if you haven't managed to liberate at least 6, you fail. Her team is: Leavanny, Scolipede, Crustle, Galvantula, Volcarona and Accelgor as her ace. If you win you get the Critter Badge and the TM for U-turn.

X: Dragon type gym. Someone needed to take that type and Mega Charizard X is right there so…His gym is in Lumiose City because that's where Professor Sycamore's lab is and he's the one that gives the player the mega evolving Kanto starters. His gym is a long series of mega evolving battles, there are 10 gym trainers in total and all of them have pokemon that can mega evolve. After you beat all 10 you can challenge X. His team is: Tyrantrum, Dragalge, Hydreigon, Goodra, Noivern and Mega Charizard X as his ace. If you win you get the Scales Badge and the TM for Dragon Claw.

Y: Flying type gym. Everyone saw this coming. She's a Sky Trainer so it makes sense. In the games, the first Sky Battle happens on Route 8, if I remember correctly and the nearest city is Cyllage City, so that's where her gym is. Her gym puzzle is gliding down from the top floor of the gym to the bottom, along the way you have to fight gym trainers and defeat them. If you don't have pokemon that can participate in Sky Battles, platforms will appear in places for them to land on but the trainer cannot use them. Her team is: Altaria, Vespiquen, Crobat, Drifblim, Pidgeot and Talonflame as her ace. If you win you get the Sky Badge and the HM for Fly. I know normally gym leaders don't give you HMs, but it would be weird to give her anything else.

Sun: So Alola doesn't have any gyms, but they do have Island Kahunas, which are similar enough for me to make him and Moon a team. He specializes in Dark types, because he has 2 on his team, so he takes Nanu's place as the Kahuna of Ula'ula Island. The Kahuna grand trials are just battles so I'll just move on to his team: Sableye, Honchkrow, Umbreon, Malamar, Alolan Persian and Incineroar as his ace.

Moon: I think we all know what type Moon uses: Poison. She's the Kahuna of Akala Island, because both Slandit and Mareanie can be found there. Her team is: Tentacruel, Dragalge, Arbok, Gengar, Toxapex and Muk as her ace.

Sou: So for Sou, I did something a little different, I looked through the pokedex and searched which type has the most pokemon holding items, since that's his thing. And the answer to that is Psychic, with 7 pokemon if you count Galarian Slowbro's Shellder-gun-arm thing, which I have to, because otherwise I have to give him Hoopa and that is not happening. Does this make you mad? Because it makes me mad, but oh well. I did not spend 40 minutes searching for pokemon with items just to scrap this. I don't know if some of the pokemon in his team even are in the Galar pokedex, but I don't care. It's too late to change it now. His gym is in Stow-on-Side, because it has the Bargain shop and you can get cool items there. His gym puzzles are item based battles, like against a Focus Sash pokemon with Endeavor and Quick Attack or a Toxic Orb, Guts pokemon. You have to battle against 10 gym trainers if you want to battle Sou. His team is: Delphox, Hypno, Galarian Slowbro, Alakazam, Mr. Rime and Oranguru as his ace. If you win you get the Psychic badge, because Galar names their badges after types and the TM for Magic Room.

Schilly: Ice type gym leader. As I'm writing this I realize Platina would have made more sense as the Ice type gym leader but in my defense, I need someone to take the ghost type and Schilly has none but also, it's 5am as I'm writing this and I'm tired so you will just have to deal with it. Her gym is in Circhester because of type overlap and for her puzzle you get placed in a room in the middle of a blizzard and are given a drone that you have to use to find 10 pokemon before 30 minutes are up. As you attempt to do this, gym trainers will try to shoot your drone down so you will have to battle them if you want them to stop. Her team is: Weavile, Frosmoth, Arctozolt, Arctovish, Galarian Darmanitan and Eiscue as her ace. If you win you get the Ice badge and the TM for Ice Beam.

Bonus:

So we all know how close the Sinnoh trio is and it feels wrong to split them up in different gyms so I also did a version where they share a gym.

Sinnoh Trio: So the type that all 3 of them share, that isn't Normal, is Electric, so they share an electric type gym in Sunyshore, because Volkner is a type overlap. I really like the rotation battles that were introduced in gen V, so even though they don't exist in DPPt, I decided to give them a rotation battle gym. You have to win against 10 gym trainers to battle the gym leaders. And yes, even their battle is a rotation battle. Their team is: Magnezone, Jolteon, Raichu, Pachirisu, Rotom Wash and Luxray. If you win you get the Friendship Badge and the TM for Thunder Wave.

ok so I'm gonna write here my take on BDSP/PLA arc with Johto and Sinnoh dexholders interacting with each other at the beginning because I absolutely love this idea

At first only Miss gets isekai'd to Hisui, while Dia and Pearl do... other stuff. maybe getting closer to their dream or something. and then they notice that Miss is missing and shit happens in the present too, so they look for clues, and then Johto dexholders will appear and help out with finding ancient stuff related to Hisui to get Dia and Pearl isekai'd as well. And you know, maybe in that short amount of time Silver and Dia can finally interact outside of Satoshi's doodles!

I guess they can connect BDSP and PLA in one arc like this so they won't have to make up something big to compensate BDSP's lack of new content.

From this point most of the focus is on Hisui. Miss has already joined Survey Corps and is actively filling up the Pokédex in Obsidian Fieldlands. While returning to Jubilife Village, she notices, that there are two people who fell in the same place just like she did. Miss and her new partner Rowlet go to check up on them, and recognises Diamond and Pearl, who immediately hug her. The trio is reunited again, but they somehow need to get back to present. The boys are also joining the Survey Corps for the time being, Dia taking Cyndaquil and Pearl taking Oshawott.(both of them somehow ended up with only their first partner Pokémon, the others are left in the present)

The trio is now filling up the Pokédex together. They meet Wyrdeer and then uhhh the plot happens I guess. Together they calm down Kleavor and then, as the time has come to move on to the new location, they are stopped by villagers, who are in the need of help. Pearl decides that he'll take care of their needs and will try to help them with anything he can. Basically, he's now doing the side quests. Now it's only up to Dia and Miss to do the storyline. They convince Calaba(or whatever her name was) that they will help Ursaluna. Ursaluna, however, doesn't seem to be mad and just wanted to fight. Miss and Diamond beat it, and Ursaluna seems to like Dia for some reason. They wander around, and I think Dia adds a Goomy to his team, while Miss catches a Petilil. It was getting too late and they've decided to call it a day, but Miss is still worried about Lilligant, so when the duo go to sleep or, well, do other stuff in the village, Platinum runs back to Lilligant to help her out. But when they notice that Miss is gone, the duo go straight to Crimson Mirelands. Ursaluna meets them and Dia befriends him or adds him to his team, like that one ancient hero did. They hop on Ursaluna and sniff out Miss, who seems to be fighting Lilligant now with Arezu's help. The duo jump in to the battle and help Miss calm the grass giant down.

uhm and I think the other details I'll leave up to you but

I divided PLA's activities and gave one of them to each dexholder of sinnoh trio. Missy fills up most of the Pokédex, Dia does most of the story stuff and Pearl does the side quests mostly. As for the total teams.. for the sinnoh duo I used their first Pokémon and starters that are assigned by me, and then some Pokémon that they haven't used before. Platinum's team is full of Pokémon she hadn't used in the past. or in the present. lol

Dia: Munchlax, Hisui Typhlosion, Hisui Goodra, Drifblim, Ursaluna, Gastrodon

Pearl: Chatot, Hisui Samurott, Hisui Arcanine, Sneasler, Hisui Braviary..

Platinum: Hisui Decidueye, Hisui Lilligant, Wyrdeer, Gardevoir, Clefable, Hisui Zoroark

Well, it was only my take, and I was targeting towards using Pokémon they haven't used before.

While they travel they'll probably have flashbacks of their adventure to mt. Coronet. Because.. You know. BDSP relies only on nostalgia and it would make some kind of sense.

So Idk about you but I've wanted to see an au where the dex holders are or can turn into legendary pokemon. Best if it was a fic or otherwise, do you have any suggestions

I had AUs of those but they're so old and only have snippets written that I don't want to share. But I do have some fairytale adaptations where the legendaries take on the form of the Spe characters and do have some of their personality, but they aren't entirely them either. It takes place in a world where everyone has a spiritual Pokemon that they can use abilities related to them, so for example, if your spiritual Pokemon is a Pikachu, you can use electric abilities which are effective against someone with a Pidgeot spiritual Pokemon in a fight, but you will do terrible against someone with a Rhydon spirit Pokemon. They are old though and very behind my current skills (with the exception of maybe Father Gold), but here are those fics (put in order of upload date):

I don't know any other fics that has the Dexholders/Spe characters as legendaries. I know that @txttabloid has an AU like that though. I do have a list up to Gen 7 on who would be which legendary if you're curious.

#pokespe #pokemon special #trainer x #trainer y #trainer red #trainer yellow #trainer shauna #trainer emma #please send me asks or dms because i'm interested in those kinds of aus as well!

What are your pokespe gold thoughts

Stares at you with my autistic eyes . I have too many as Gold is probably the character I think about the most aside from Green and Red and he was our Longest Had Blorbo so . I will pick some thoughts out of a hat

Okay first of all it has been A While since I read all the way through gsc so if I say anything the second half of that arc contradicts what i say um . Aheem heem whimper .

Anyway something I see said about Gold a lot is that he's an inconsistent/weirdly written character. I have Thoughts about this.

A theory I have is that the reason why Gold's characterization is the way it is is basically "Pokémon GSC was supposed to be the last Pokémon games, so the pokespe team thought GSC was going to be the last arc". The arc was probably mostly written and half-published by the time Ruby and Sapphire started development, and I think this accounts for a lot of the "weirdness" GSC is usually associated with. The extent of stakes, the writing decisions and all that all make sense for a manga that wanted to end with a high-stakes fight and assumed these characters would never be returned to again. Buuut that second part obviously didn't happen LMAO

I think what we have with Gold is character that was written to be a one-arc protag and eventually had to be molded to fit a larger role in a much larger story. Gold wasn't really the emotional core of GSC, Silver was (and Crys for a bit), and Gold acted as Silver's (and Pryce's, later) foil. In fact Gold doesn't really have a lot going for him aside from "the opposite of Silver and/or Pryce" until towards the end of GSC, and by the time the arc is over, he doesn't really... have a reason to be Silver's foil anymore? And I think that's what throws people off a bit. Gold becomes substantially more fleshed out in his later appearances, but I think this next part is where people get especially tripped up.

Compared to Silver, Gold doesn't have an incredibly deep Character Motivation. His surface-level motivation is wanting to kick Silver's and eventually Pryce's ass, but beyond that, he initially doesn't have much; until around the end of GSC, where his deeper character motivation is revealed to be insecurity. But I think to some people this reads as odd, because Gold was not originally written to seem insecure. The earliest possible hint we get of this - him being insulted when Professor Oak won't give him a pokédex - reads less like he's insecure and desperate to prove himself and more like he's angry he's not being handed what he wants on a silver platter. There's some hint there that he there might be some level of pride involved, but he seems like a generally prideful person. So from a critical perspective, it might be a bit hard to understand how we got from that to this

"I must have something, don't I? Something to be proud of?!"

Or this;

After spending the whole arc talking about how Gold and Togetaro are practically twins and heavily implying that Gold is projecting onto Togetaro. These are very clear indications that Gold does not believe he's as capable as he claims to think, that he's desperate to prove himself and needs external validation.

If you ask me, this character trait suddenly being taken much more seriously is a result of the shift of Kusaka realizing Spe was going to be going on for much longer than originally thought, and these characters were not going away any time soon. Gold needed some semblance of actual motivation, and I believe this was chosen because it helps him fit in with the other two Johto dexholders, who both hold themselves to impossibly high standards. Gold craves to be the hero, to be universally popular, to receive all the attention and admiration he can get out of people, and that all being because he craves validation makes sense - but since it's hard to believe this was originally what was in mind for his character, where this comes from is unclear. Silver and Crys are both obvious results of their respective upbringings, but Gold is implied to have had a really happy childhood. Some people can extrapolate that his mother might be neglectful based on the joke that he gets his carefree attitude from her, but I think that's a stretch. On an analytical level, I highly doubt that's how it's supposed to be taken, and I doubt we're meant to think about it as hard as we do Silver or Crystal's pasts.

It is interesting to think about, though! I thoroughly enjoy Gold angst and h/c, if it wasn't obvious, and I like hearing other peoples' headcanons on the matter.

... hopefully that was enough thoughts for you! LMFAO

Misc spe headcanons and observations (spoilers):

Green(M) is the only Kanto dexholder who has ever been to a hospital (not the only one who has needed to go to a hospital, just the only one who actually has)

Related to the above: Red's body is kind of messed up from the electric torture, freezing, and Hitmonlee kick to the torso that he never really got treated outside of his quick stint at the hot springs.

Crys is one of the most reckless dexholders by virtue of rarely going into fights with an exit strategy

Yellow's powers heal herself unconsciously, but it takes her a long time to realize it

Part of Black's daydreaming problems are a defense mechanism to deal with sensory overstimulation, which is why he's so good at noticing small details when his head is cleared

Giovanni still somehow doesn't know that Blue raised Silver

After the battle in the distortion world, all three of the Sinnoh trio are immune to Giratina's attacks the same way Dia was

Schilly has dyslexia and possibly either hearing or auditory processing problems

#pokespe #a handful of headcanons #rather than an individual post for each one #can expand on any of these if anyone desires though #crys will lecture you about being reckless and then fight god until she's dangling unconscious from a tree

I did this a while ago, but I figured I shared it here too! I was thinking about mechanics of when you fight DexHolders [PokeSpe] in how the games work. I've only thought about a few, but yeah!

OK THEN HERE COMES. so I saw this pic

And immediately realized that this woman, along with many other people, doesn't think highly of Gold AT ALL. Most people define the Pokédex holders as "great trainers with a bright future", and yet Gold is always the exception. He's always the loud and selfish one, the one that just happened to receive a Pokédex but is actually not worthy of one. Gold himself realizes that, it's hinted in the HGSS arc when he's speaking to Togepi and said "I should know better than anyone else how it feels when no one believes in you" and it's just....so sad. It makes sense now why this kid goes around screaming and bragging about what he's done, he just wants some credits and recognition, he's doing everything the other Dexholders are doing and yet people do nothing but critique him, for a reason that's not even his fault ;-;-;-;- my bby :(

OMG YES—

From the very moment they meet, Prof. Oak belittles Gold—telling Gold he has no character or skill—

And Prof. Oak even goes as far as to say it would be a waste to give a Pokédex to Gold and it’s just hurtful words to say—especially with how young Gold is—and I know Red had to prove himself too…but Oak’s words are so harsh here..

And on top of that—Gold believes he’s nothing when he reads the paper about what every dexholder’s roles are and realizing he was left out again—albeit he wasn’t—it still adds to his insecurities of not being good enough—

And it’s truly heartbreaking to see him struggle with this ;;

And when he sacrifices himself—he is fighting for himself—and incidentally proving himself—

And then we get to HGSS arc, where Gold finds out that the only reason Oak asks him to do this is because Silver and Crystal are busy—so again, Gold is being belittled—

And he must prove himself by winning tournaments ^^^

And that scene with Togepi is truly heart wrenching because Gold is being fully vulnerable and honest—that he knows what it’s like to not be relied upon.

Gold really does have it rough and always being put down for his skills when he’s honestly incredible—he constantly has to prove himself and it’s just sad when you think about it ;;

YES to pryce deserving so many more consequences for kidnapping, traumatizing, and brainwashing six children to use as child soldiers; your theory that giovanni straight up did not know that pryce was behind it is super interesting too bc it's the only thing that makes sense for why he's like "here go train with your kidnapper again!!!" it makes sense too (and like. lance knows which is a whole other thing to unpack) because giovanni wasn't very...present for the gsc arc and pryce's crimes weren't exactly broadcast. a few other gym leaders and the dexholders are the ones that actually know what happened and there's no indication that that's ever really shared with the world after pryce is yeeted into the crack in time. love that analysis so much!

please lmk if you want me to delete/etc but YES!!

First off, thank you!! :) I love talking about Pokespe (especially the Kanto and Johto dexholders).

[general pokespe spoilers]

A really big part of Pokespe is, I feel, consequences. It's in the RBG arc when Giovanni loses to Red as a consequence of not caring about the Pokemon he hurt. It's in the Yellow arc where Lance hurts others without regard and gets defeated by someone who is essentially a parallel to him. It's in the FR/LG arc when Giovanni can't even reunite properly with his son (his illness isn't his fault, but fighting Red and causing chaos to the Sevii Islands sure is!).

There's also growth as another big part of Pokespe! It's pretty obvious in regards to the dexholders because you can see them change/develop over the arcs (e.g. Black). But it's also visible when the dexholders have to group up with past/previous enemies to fight the new ones. Surge goes from a dude willing to attack children (Red arc) to helping out (Yellow arc) and trying to rescue(?) kids (GSC arc). Other examples I can think of include N and Lorelei to an extent.

Pryce doesn't have either. His consequence was getting stuck in time, but that was more of a result from messing with time. He didn't face anything for snatching and "training" the kids. He didn't face anything for trying to kill Silver and Gold, unless you include Gold stopping his plans. And if he gets to return to his gym without any fanfare, then orchestrating that attack on the gym leaders in GSC (the train) had no consequences either.

After looking at Giovanni's actions in the arcs he's present in, it feels very implausible that he would've spared Pryce if he knew. He smashed a Magmar, left Yellow during the big final fight, and a bunch of other things. Kidnapping Oak, Green/Blue's parents, etc. Giovanni was willing to do a lot of things, unforgivable or not, in the FR/LG arc just to find his son.

It's also a bit weird like... At most, I assume Giovanni knew Pryce in the context of a gym leader. Like you said, he wasn't there for the GSC arc, and while Pryce's crimes were known to some gym leaders, it's probable that he didn't pay attention because he prioritized finding Silver. In fact, what were the crimes mentioned? He kidnapped kids, but did anyone know besides the dexholders? At most, people would know him as the guy that tried to control time and kill gym leaders.

In the translation I read, Giovanni says something along the lines of Silver training under his two teachers. So.... who knows whether Giovanni knows. Maybe he just misinterpreted the relationship between Pryce and Silver. It feels like a weird mix of contradictions.

Lance's case is weird because, in a show-don't-tell way, I don't doubt he cared enough about Silver in their mentor-mentee relationship. In the HG/SS arc, Silver at least has faith that Lance would have information on Team Rocket. Lance also mentions, like I said in the previous ask, that he, Pryce, and Giovanni are all tied together by Silver. The other two have such an impact that it feels like it'd be a weird connection to make if he wasn't that close with the dexholder.

Side note but Lance and Pryce feel like weird parallels where they both did bad things for the "benefit" of Pokemon. Lance did it for the cruelty of humans while Pryce.... is Pryce, I guess. He has a more selfish view of it where only his Pokemon should be treated with love and care.

Back to Lance solely, in GSC, I don't think he ever knows about Pryce being the Masked Man since he only shows up to give Silver information. In HG/SS, it feels like.. a mix of knowing and not knowing? It's contradictory again, like Giovanni's case. Maybe he knows and prioritizes the world. Maybe he doesn't know all the details. Maybe he doesn't prioritize it at the moment because Silver looks well-adjusted (he isn't, but that's something else entirely).

I think it'd be neat if Blue/Green was considered a mentor to Silver instead of Pryce. We got hints of that mentorship in FR/LG and in HG/SS. Blue/Green's the Viridian gym leader, he mentored Silver when they were looking for Giovanni, he (kind of) helped out when Silver learned his dad was Giovanni, they're fellow dexholders.... I just think that's pretty swell :) Any of the Kanto dexholders would be a "worthy" mentor figure honestly.

No.25. Perfect.

Ao3 link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/51114592

Words: 1,170

Cws: Referenced “sleeping around”, death of a best friend/boyfriend, funeral, implied dubious consent, Implied/Referenced Sex, implied hyper sexuality due to trauma, implied murder, crying

Prompt: No. 25: “You’re not delivering a perfect body to the grave.” Storm | Buried Alive | “They’re not breathing!”

Notes: Personal headcanon of mine that Red is the first dexholder to die, don’t bother talking to me about the other personal headcannons in this particular fic. (: I have no explanation for myself.

This is not exactly the correct vibe I was going for but it’s good enough.

Written while listening to One Last Song by LORD OF THE LOST. (And Dem Beats by Todrick Hall but that’s not relevant.)

The sky was cloudy outside the small building, as if the smoke from Charizard’s tail had flooded the whole thing with charred gray when Blue had flown his mourning laps across the sky. Outside of the tiny windows, rain was beginning to fall. As cliche as it may have seemed, the world seemed to be crying for the tragedy that had fallen on it. It was crazy to think about it, but something was missing. Something that would never come back.

Blue felt tears drip down his face as he stared down at the body in the casket before him. Deep down, all of them had known it was coming, but none of them had expected it to happen so quickly. How could they have?

He had been so alive. So strong. Such a fighter.

Now, he lay lifeless and still, and Blue’s mind spun as he stared down at him.

He was beautiful.

He was pristine.

He was nothing if not perfect.

That shoulder length black hair, just as unruly in death as in life, lay still against the pillow. Though it was just as rebellious as the man it had once belonged to, it seemed somehow tamed by his stillness, and that simple fact sent stabs of pain through Blue’s chest. He just couldn’t seem to process what was happening, even with all of the violence and death he had seen, this hit the hardest.

Blue knew that Red couldn’t have gone down without a fight, but that awful stillness was just enough to steal his agency away from him one last time. (And Acreus knew it had been many times before.)

He looked so calm. So at peace. Just as if he were sleeping.

But Blue knew that Red had never looked that calm while he was alive. Even while he slept, his eyebrows had always been knit together, and he had always twitched and turned as he fought to fight those awful dreams that he had once confided in Blue about. Even when he had been happy, Red had never been calm, and those dark shadows in his eyes had always told Blue the truth of how he felt. Even in times of peace Red had never had a truly peaceful mind.

He’d never really had a chance to speak for himself. Even as one of the strongest trainers in the world, it was no secret that Red had been putty in much everyone’s hands. Even as someone known for fighting for every right and truth, Blue knew better than anyone how Red could sweep horror under the rug, rationalize what he was doing, pretend it was what he had wanted.

Pretend it was what he had wanted.

Blue wiped his eyes roughly with his sleeve.

Selfishly, he had loved Red for that lack of agency, that horrible weakness, but he knew he was nowhere near the only one who had. Even with the mortuary cosmetologist’s best attempts to fix his face with makeup, Blue could still see the bruises as they faded through the pale foundation. He could still remember that awful shock in those closed eyes when Red had first seen him looking at those “scars.” That horrible realization that his “secret” wasn’t so secret. (And Blue could still feel the awful stab of attraction that Red’s horror filled face had made him feel.)

Blue knew he had used Red as much as anyone else. No matter how much he wanted to forget, the shame kept burning inside him. No matter how much he tried to tell himself that he had done nothing wrong, that hot, sticky shame kept up bubbling deep within.

He had done everything wrong.

Blue balled his hands into fists, but he could do nothing but stare at the corpse that had once been his closest thing to love. Yes, love. Even though he had never been able to admit it to Red, Blue had loved him. Through everything they had been through, every battle, every day, every night, Blue had never told him. Now he would never get the chance.

How could he have ever done that to someone that he knew he loved?

Maybe he had thought Red was invincible. Red certainly seemed to have thought it. Running off with random trainers in the middle of the night… That wasn’t something he should have been doing. That wasn’t something Blue should have let him do.

Why hadn’t he helped when he could?

Why had he made it worse?

Through his actions, he had certainly intensified the problem, hadn’t he? Sure, he’d never told Red that it was all okay, but then again, he’d never asked him if he felt alright either, and wasn't that the most important part of all of this?

He'd never helped Red to get better, even though the signs of his struggle were so clear now in hindsight. Those handprints on his throat, the scratches that Blue knew lay across his back... All of it pointed so clearly to someone who had desperately needed help.

Help that Blue had never given him. He’d never even thought to let him ask for it.

Blue suddenly felt sick to his stomach, and he took a shaking step backwards, trying anything to get away from the body of the one he had once loved.

The one he still loved.

Instead of helping him like a lover should have, Blue had taken him as the toy he had made himself out to be. Blue had taken him at face value, unable to see through what he had wanted to see. Only now that he was gone, could Blue tell what had truly happened. Only now could Blue see what he could have done, what he should have done, what he would have done if he had known what was coming.

This hadn't been the first time Red had been bent to someone else's will against his own, not by a long shot, but it was the last. Blue felt sudden tears coming fast down his face, and the body in the casket blurred and warped before him as they did. He felt like an idiot. He was such a fool.

Red had been so much more than what had taken him.

He’d been caring, loving, careful, creative, a fighter through and through. He’d saved so many lives, so many stories, so many experiences. He’d won through so much with his ingenuity and strength. So many things that Blue knew not just anyone could have done. So many things that he would never again be able to brag about around a campfire. So many things that were now history.

So many battles won.

A tragedy.

A final loss.

The media may be crying over the loss of their “perfect” trainer, but Blue knew better.

Red had been perfect for all but one flaw, and it had killed him. Shiny black hair. Glowing red eyes. Skin paler than death itself.

He had been perfect for Blue.

Now he was gone.

So new Pokemon news just dropped and my first thought is to think about how this affects Pokespe (as it always is lol). Namely the 3 confirmed story pathways:

-Path to Championship Rank (fighting the 8 gyms and then passing the “Champion Assessment”--the equivalent to the E4 + Champion battles)

-Path of Legends/Searching for Herba Mystica (Hunting for herbs by fighting Titan Pokemon along the way. Pokemon has realized people like BIG mons. Sounds like this path is how you can get legends & mysticals based on the title)

-Beating up the evil team, which is now the school bullies an underaged biker gang. (Team Star is close enough to Team Skull and Team Yell that there’s bound to be a true villain, that will likely be accessed in this path.)

So, there’s def going to be a dexholder specializing in cooking right? The closest we have is Dia--who just likes eating--and Moon who makes medicine. The evil team path doesn’t imply a specialty in the same way, nor the gym path.

What I am most interested, however, in is the official art for each of these routes.

This is kinda long so TLDR: using the official art, I predict the starters and story paths will be distributed as the following in Pokespe: Scarlet (male dexholder) with Sprigatito and the Path of Legends, Violet (female dexholder) with Quaxly and beating up the evil team, Nemona (rival) with Fuecoco and the gym challenge. But this is also fuelled by a fair chunk of COPIUM.

For starters, it’s interesting the male player is the Violet uniform and female player is the Scarlet uniform considering the male player usually corresponds to the first version in the title, and the female the second. EDIT: Their confirmed canon names don’t seem to favour one version over the other (Juliana and Florian). And funnily enough, the trailer that reveals them has Juliana represented as Scarlet and Florian represented as Violet as well.

And look at sprigatito XD

But what I noticed is that each official art has a starter assigned to it. You could argue that. The. Paths. Have. “Canon”. Starters.

And...they make sense? Sprigatito is a grass type and in the path where you hunt for herbs (plants) and fights a rock type. Quaxly’s (the water type) hair is often chalked up to sailor hat, but it also resembles a pompadour. In Japanese pop culture, that’s the stereotypical hairstyle for gang members/biker gangs/yakuza. Quaxly is in the path where you fight a biker gang. A biker gang who’s leader uses fire type pokemon. Fuecoco is a little less clear, though it may be worth noting the 2 gym leaders currently revealed are weak to fire (ice and grass).

People have theorized that with 3 different story paths, a good approach for the Spe adaptation would be for spe!Nemona to follow the gym leader path and spe!Scarlet and spe!Violet take one path each. Pokespe also follows a (fairly) consistent pattern in assigning starters to each character (this pattern was only broken recently in SWSH with the male dexholder having Grookey instead of Sobble), having shifted between:

male - grass, rival - fire, female - water

male - fire, rival - water, female - grass

male - water, rival - grass, female - fire

Following this assumption, can we guess what path and what starter each of the three will have? The standard distribution this chapter would be:

male - grass, rival - fire, female - water

The rival (spe!Nemona) has fire, the same in the gym leader path.

So...that means spe!Scarlet would have grass and go herb hunting and spe!Violet would have water and kick the evil team’s ass? I really hope.

This was always going to be a bit awkward for SV since the chapter before SWSH broke the starter pattern. Meaning the male dexholder would have the grass starter twice in a row. Also the evil team plotline is probably where the bulk of the “story” is. It’s where the main conflict/world ending plot would stem from, and Pokespe has historically favoured its male dexholders over female dexholders when it comes to focus and presence in the final fight with the villain. But remember how I pointed out the female player keeps getting depicted as Scarlet. Could? Could the female dexholder take centre stage this arc? GF seems all for it? They might throw us for a loop and make the female Scarlet and male Violet but I’d take it 🙏
