#if star wars can use environmental storytelling to explain to you that a character weaking black clothes is how theyre close to darkness

[daisybell-on-a-carousel]

Something I sometimes do for fun is find pokemon to associate with characters. This can be just one or a full "team" of pokemon I can imagine with or as that character,

And it was while doing this I discovered that the Corviknight line is literally so perfect for Anakin/Vader and maybe I'm not looking hard enough but I'm deeply disappointed I haven't seen anyone connect the two yet. Like. Look at them

I'm gonna write my rambles on this here, they're not perfect and im going to sleep immediately after but I just want to like, vaguely explain my thoughts. Pokedex entires will be included too but they don't always add something

.

Rookidee

"It will bravely challenge any opponent, no matter how powerful. This Pokémon benefits from every battle—even a defeat increases its strength a bit."

"Jumping nimbly about, this small-bodied Pokémon takes advantage of even the slightest opportunity to disorient larger opponents."

Rookidee is a pure flying type which is perfect for Anakin as he's commonly referred to as the best pilot

Plus the blue and yellow color scheme here definitely reminds me of Anakin's podracer!

.

Corvisquire

"Smart enough to use tools in battle, these Pokémon have been seen picking up rocks and flinging them or using ropes to wrap up enemies."

"The lessons of many harsh battles have taught it how to accurately judge an opponent's strength."

The darker colors,,, more black in the design overall,,, the eye marking no longer being quite the pure white it was before,,, this my friends is the perfect pokémon to represent Anakin as an older teen and adult

Some lighter colors than he had pre-evolution, but teetering that much more closely to the dark

The yellow is gone, you could definitely find some symbolism in that if so desired. And blue is still a color that is easily associated with Anakin (and the light side of the force in general)

.

Corviknight

"This Pokémon reigns supreme in the skies of the Galar region. The black luster of its steel body could drive terror into the heart of any foe."

"With their great intellect and flying skills, these Pokémon very successfully act as the Galar region's airborne taxi service."

Corviknight my beloved. The reason I looked into this line in the first place after seeing its perfection as Vader

The evolution is flying/steel type, which suits very well. The armored look of this 'mon is absolutely perfect

Now completely consumed by darkness it looks like there's no hope, but he still has that small bit of light in his eye

Also, Corviknight's weaknesses are fire and electric. Which is very appropriate considering Vader's history with lava and sith lightning

#star wars #darth vader #anakin skywalker #star wars pokemon #or whatever i should tag this as #the weaknesses of rookidee and corvisquire and electric. ice. and ground. which i couldn't quite as easily connect with something #pokémon #pokemon #potato rambles n speaks #if star wars can use environmental storytelling to explain to you that a character weaking black clothes is how theyre close to darkness #then dangit i can use to convince you of rookidee
