delphox time tm

i wanna be the very best. but i already am- anyways! tadaaa! foxes. foxes but like in a pokémon font! i love delphox, but i don’t like anthro designs for things that don’t necessarily need to be on two legs. so! i have made it so that delphox is able to be quadrupedal or bipedal. for the whole line in fact~ except fennekin. hes perfect as is.

i think certain designers look over how pokémon are meant to be “evolutions,” and not just bigger-older versions. so i think fennekin evolution is meant to adapt to becoming more “apex predator” of woodland areas. fennekin used to be very common in ancient city areas, but over time moved to more villages with less need to be sneaky little creatures. so now they’re a little better, and becoming smarter. tool based little guys who can stand on back feets for some time in order to use twigs and sticks to conduct a bigger flame.

with this new utilization of their abilities, braixen are medium sized vulpes creatures who hunt prey that are usually just a little smaller than them. i imagine they’re probably just about the size of a german shepherd or a small wolf by now. this body has much easier capability to breath in hot weather and heavy exercise despite the thick coating, but is still able to keep in all the internal flame that they use to survive. they dwell in mostly forested areas, and will occasionally sneak into human towns to steal food. or if they are in a mated duo, they’ll have one distract humans while the other catches food.

delphox is the biggest of the evolutions. he’s the apex of the forest, no one willing hunts ‘em unless for sport or competition. the population of these have become dwindling as delphox hunts have become a common sport for those nearby, even festivals have evolved around them. called the “fire spirits hunt.” they’re known as the fire spirits of the forest, keeping a sort of silent presence despite how big they are. they are about the size of a large buck, or a small elk. and they mostly feed on sawsbuck or bunnelby. their large size is due to their adaptation to being able to use their speed and leaner bodies to their advantage, while also having a larger heat chamber within themselves to create blasts of fire.

mostly solitary, it’s incredibly rare to find wild delphoxes. they live to about 13-15 years in the wild, and 17-19 in captivity. but professors of the galar and kalos regions are working hard to bring them back to their natural habitats.

i hope you guys enjoyed this little spheal, round boi- i like doing these little headcanon creatures thing. i think next i will be doing altaria, but if you guys have any suggestions let me know! i am always up for a challenge <3

I know nothing of the Pokémon submas fandom but I have a few dumb ideas so here’s some headcanons about amnesiac New York subway conductors.

-Ingo and Emmet where the kids of a famous businessesperson who expanded vastly the commuter subway system in Unova and made it a common form of transportation (e.g, where there a bunch of man made tunnels in the region and why the region has so much green space despite it being a densely packed city; it doesn’t need roads and stuff).

-Their parents where the kind of people to dress their identical twins in matching outfits. The twins hated it at first, but kind of ended up gaslighting themselves into liking it in adulthood.

-Due to their family having a lot of financial freedom, they where free to explore many interests in their childhood. Both ended up going down the “classical protagonist” path (y’now, early gyms and the ye olde Pokédex). Emmet was more interested in the battling stuff, while Ingo was more interested in collecting (perhaps he was the equivalent of BW/BW2 protags to Cederic).

-Emmet attempted championhood at one point, failed but was offered a position as elite four and took it. Got bored fast (this was a time before Pokémon battles had become popular as a professional sport, people actually going to the championship was rare and actually exiciting battles where basically non-existant). Tried intentionally dropping position to gym leader for the sake of slightly more entertainment, but was equally bored with that. IDK what type he specialized in, if any (a lot of the “unspoken rules” in the league, such as type specialties for Elite four and gym leaders, wouldn’t be set until the equivalent of the 1990-early 2000’s, when the league became more popular).

-Ingo excelled in catching and raising mon’s, but struggled academically in college (idk what he was studying, perhaps he was trying to become the Bianca to Cenderic).

-They both ended up trying to go down the path of “normal” jobs; being high level managers for the subway system. They hated it.

-To keep themselves entertained, they joined a rail workers battle club. They rose to the top fast.

-One of their co-workers jokingly suggested “they do one of those battle salon-arcade-tower things, but in the subway”.

-They find some way to “rent out” a train that was derelict and was going to be taken off the tracks and scrapped. They put advertisements in local papers, calling trainers to ride the subway (“you’ll know which one when you see it”)

Also this is all working off the headcanon of the Submas Twins being somewhat elderly, maybe late middle age (?) (old enough to be going grey and balding (I’m sorry), but still young enough to survive being yoited into the wilds of 1800 century northern Japan). I don’t remember them ever getting canonical ages (I could be wrong, I don’t look at bulbapidia for human reference that often).

(Also Emmet’s gym was train station themed, likely in Nimbasa City; there was no budget for theming the elite four members rooms when he was around, so said theme did not extend to that)

In Hoenn, Gardevoir are viewed with suspicion and distrust, primarily due to their Fairy-type backgrounds--especially the males. Females are given more leeway, as they are considered as easier to train and maintain. Females have smaller horns. which trainers attribute to their more docile nature compared to their male counterparts. Males, on the other hand, are seen as walking time bombs. Their horns are much larger, and house more psychic energy than females. This makes them harder to control, to manage.

There are few trainers in Hoenn who can fully control a male Gardevoir. Females are seen as better for managing for trainer-led battles or contest circuits.

In turn, male Gardevoir are rare in Hoenn. Their previous evolutionary stages are often encouraged to be set on the path of Gallade before they can become Gardevoir. Gallade are considered easier to train and maintain.

Pokémon Headcanon

Researchers are proposing that Gourgeist’s singing when it entraps and kills its prey is not an expression of joy, but an act of pragmatism. It is well established that Gourgeist can channel their ghostly power particularly effectively and easily through song, allowing them to place curses on those who hear it. The song during subjugation of prey now appears to serve the same purpose - a means of continuous supernatural attack that weakens the prey Pokémon until it no longer struggles and eventually is completely drained of life. After all, average and small Gourgeist don’t have much strength and in any case arms made out of plant hair by nature aren’t the strongest appendages relative to the powers and abilities of many Pokémon. Experiments have found that when given a fake Pokémon toy that ‘struggled’ and emitted pained noises in their grasp, Gourgeist would enjoy playing with it, but could sense it had no spirit and therefore wasn’t real; they did not bother to sing while expressing happiness and entertainment in other ways, with other vocalizations and energetic movements. Meanwhile, observations in the wild have found that they sing louder and longer preying on bigger and/or more powerful and dangerous Pokémon (showing keen awareness of type advantages), and even change the key or quicken the pace to intensify the melody in response to their prey lashing out at them or almost managing to escape. This is contrary to the expectation they would sing more successfully subduing weaker Pokémon, out of pleasure at securing a meal and the greater damage they do to the prey.

Many Ghost and Dark-type Pokémon are believed to be sadistic based on negative assumptions and misunderstandings that influence how we interpret their behaviour. Often what appears to be cruelty can be explained as simply doing what works well to survive and thrive. It appears this may be another example. Remember, they say “no Pokémon is evil” for good reason. Morality just isn’t a concept in the wild.

#the pokédex is always a work in progress! #i don’t like when pokémon are portrayed as mean when animals CAN’T be mean #not the way humans are at least #like in the wild you do what you gotta do #basically all real life animals would qualify as dark-type by pokémon rules #and i love the pumpkaboo line #but it’s never sat right with me that the nice helpful pumpkaboo apparently becomes sadistic #it makes evolving it feel wrong and bad #gourgeist #pokémon headcanon #pokémon #pokémon worldbuilding headcanon #ghost type pokémon

Pokémon headcanon:

Instead of regular swear words or using the Lord’s name in vain, characters in the Pokémon use curses that feature Legendary and Mythical Pokémon. They also do this for blessings as well, or any situation where you would want to swear.

Examples:

“Arceus” : catchall curse. (“Dear Arceus” , “I swear to Arceus”)

“By Dialga, I hate changing time zones.”

Of course these curses and blessings can also vary by region.

“May Zekrom smite you where you stand” (Unova)

“Giratina’s curses be upon ye” (Sinnoh)

“May Xerneas grant you good health and long life” (Kalos)

“Rayquaza, put an end to Kyogre and Groudon’s wrath” (Hoenn, during rain season and earthquake season)

“Ho-Oh’s blessings be upon ye” (Johto)

“May Lugia watch over you” (also Johto)

Sinnohan high schooler studying for a math test: “Uxie, grant me the knowledge to ace this test. Azelf, grant me the willpower to study for this test. Mesprit, grant me any emotions other than frustration with how hard pre-calculus is.”

“By Latios this cannot be happening” (Hoenn)

Today I found out what a Snom is and immediately thought of @yamujiburo’s comic and that Jessie needs to meet one!!

Snowgasboard friend!!!! I can imagine so many cute ways Jessie meets one (or a whole squad!) and they become friends <3

And they evolve from friendship! Which also invites heartfelt storytelling

So you know how in folklore, revealing your full name to Faeries was considered incredibly dangerous? As in, they could have power and control over you- to enchant or even change who you are all because of a name.

This lore doesn’t seem present in TWST, but I’m also sobbing at Silver, who if he even had an “original” name from the Knight of Dawn and Princess Leia, that name is likely lost to time. And even more, Silver clearly has no last name given in the main game

So in folklore, there were Fae tricking humans so they could “steal” their name and take power over them. But in Twisted Wonderland, would it be the Fae voluntarily gifting their own names to Silver? Like “Silver Vanrouge” where the relationship of father and son between Lilia and Silver is finally recognized by both of them. Or even the possibility of ‘Draconia’ being an additional last name since Malleus also became a son to Lilia. As an acknowledgment for their love as a family.

I would unironically love if Silver had an incredibly “clunky” name made up from the various Fae that we know. Like this family, this connection, isn’t perfect but the love is there. And it’s all represented in his name that’s stitched together by Fae from all walks of life, whose paths managed to cross just in time to meet this human boy

Anyway I love you Silver Crowley Draconia Vanrouge Zigvolt

(For those of you into the ship, “Zigvolt” can be tacked onto the end as well BSJXJSJF. Silver is collecting Fae names like Pokemon cards. Is he the one getting ultimate power (*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)??)

#I’m still emotional over my Crowley Silver dynamic SO HES PART OF THE NAME TOO ANDJSJDJFJD #the names are in alphabetical order it seems HELP #silver is collecting Fae names like Pokémon cards #I say ‘clunky’ because I’m not sure what another good word is to describe it shcjdjd #although I have more names and longer ones than Silver would JAJCSJJF🤣🤣🤣 #for a twst name it’s certainly long tho #twisted wonderland #twst #twst silver #twst headcanon #kallistopost

More Pokémon ramblings for tonight

This idea has probably been posited before by many people, but I like the idea of “minor variations” existing in the Pokémon universe among different Pokémon species that help them to adapt to their surrounding environment. Not full on regional variants per say, just minor things like different colors, patterns, or other small features. Like the Luxray that live on top of Mt. Coronet being over all lighter in color and being a bit fluffier to adapt to a colder environment vs Luxray that live in the other parts of Sinnoh or the Isle of Armor. Or maybe Palossand being different colors depending on the composition of the beach (e.g, green on beaches with greensand, or white in beaches made of bits of dead Coarsola).

In Paldea, there’s an old cartoon that kids…. PROBABLY shouldn’t have watched known fondly as Mafia Maushold that involves anthro Tandemaus and Maushold characters trying to maintain and survive a criminal syndicate. The genderless nature of the characters, compelling plots, and even the design conventions maintains its popularity even after it finished with the fourth season.
