What pokemon is Fae putting ribbons on? She looks like a grass type trainer /pos
There's some inherent poetry in a Ribbon Master quest, I think, especially when you start in Pokemon Colosseum or Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness.
The first ribbon a Pokemon would receive would be the National Ribbon, given to a Pokemon who "has overcome all difficult challenges", which in all actuality, means a Shadow Pokemon which has been purified.
Shadow Pokemon are Pokemon whose hearts have been closed off, their trust in people is ruined. They are confused, feral, and scared. They will attack and hurt anything (including itself) if people get too close to it.
Tumblr media
So to take a Pokemon that has been at the absolute worst point it could ever be, and to help it overcome that. And then take it all across the world; across space, time, and other dimensions; just to show it how many different ways it can be loved and appreciated.
To put it on stages, to have people clap for it, to have people take its photo and do paintings of it, to feed it candies and cakes and play games with it!...
It's a very sentimental process, I think.

I never really understood the complaint that Orre lost its edge in XD. I always found it much darker than Colosseum, despite Colo having an ex-criminal lead character and grittier locales.
XD starts off with two probable homicides (the SS Libra was reported missing days later, and the sailors are never mentioned to have been found), and given the size of the SS Libra and the amount of Pokémon onboard to take care of, it's unlikely they were the only crew aboard. (I don't think we've had any villain teams that had implicitly killed humans until the Flare arc in Masters. Not for lack of trying with several villains tho.)

They corrupted a box Legendary so thoroughly that its appearance changed and it was supposedly unpurifiable. Whatever research Ein did into creating Shadow Pokémon, Lovrina was perfecting it.
The entire town of Phenac, including the Gym Leader and mayor, were locked underground and impersonated. It's so creepy when you're reading the mayor's letter about how their town is Cipher's next target, and one of Cipher's agents creeps up right behind you.

Fucking Ardos. Dude advises mass murder long before the likes of Ghetsis, and while his father, the main villain and supposedly the brains behind Cipher, initially has reservations considering how many subordinates would be killed, is coerced into going along with it until Eldes shows up.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Despite this, Ardos gets off a free man, and basically tells you he's sending Cipher battle squads after you (sounds a bit like a hit on the player) in his postgame letter to the player if you defeat him in the Orre Colosseum. Dude seemed primed to go another round, Cipher is still apparently active.
It's not even the first time you've been threatened with murder in that game. Gorigan was initially going to blow up the Cipher Key Lair with us in it, but was stopped by Greevil.
Like, Orre's been cleaned up some and we're back to having a child protagonist, but some of the actions Cipher carries out feel a fair bit more ruthless.

And my last new charms - fluorescent Shadow Lugia and Primal Dialga charms, two legendaries from back in the day that never made it past their debut games!

I had a thinking and just wanted to share the concept based off Pokemon Go’s shadow pokemon.
A Pokémon in extreme stress exposed to negative energy will become shadowed. A ravenous creature that will stop at nothing to hurt other. Only the crystals left by the ancients in a special ruin can pacify and purify them.
Modern humans eventually do find out how to make more but not until the supply in all the ruins dwindle.
Types of negative energy can be like, generally bad people, an extremely harsh environment, or maybe a moment of life or death peril. Or whatever you can think of.
Its rare but possible for any Pokémon to shadow, even legendaries.
Unlike being shadowed by a synergy stone and craving gaia, these pokemon are in pain and cannot think beyond attacking and maybe a ‘dont attack this’ to something the pokemon once cared about but its my interpretation theyd run off to fond something else if they ran into something they deem as ‘dont attack’… and that goes away if that attacks them anyways.
Purification gives a huge boost and other extra abilities like exclusive moves, bonus typing, or bonus secret ability. It takes a Clear Stone and making sure the underlying stress is gone but its as easy as just touching it to the pokemon.
If you use this version if the concept just tell me i wanna see what all peeps do with it ( ^w^ )

Orretober is here! Bettie's Poryphone has been hacked and made into a Shadow Poryphone! It refuses to leave her access to her files until its demands have been met. It has an odd fascination with the Orre Region and its history. It also wants you to post with #Orretober23 Art by @lopuiiart

“Uhehe. Well, surprise, surprise. We do have a lot to do with this, missy. We were just thieves before we got hold of the Snag Machines. And where did we get them? From Cipher. What they wanted was this: Go Snag superior-grade Pokémon from trainers everywhere!”
More Colosseum art with Gonzap! Man, the Orre games really did a lot with varying the human character designs at a time when the series really needed it, especially when it came to body shapes. If a character like Gonzap had been introduced in an officially-counted-as-such main series game, I doubt he'd be so...exaggerated, I guess is the best word, and that's a damn shame tbh. And hey, we got the first actual Shadow Pokemon in this series based on one of the games featuring Shadow Pokemon! Wow! Took long enough! Why didn't this happen sooner? Mostly cuz the previous three had the Legendary Beasts and I'd already drawn then, and as for Miror B's Sudowoodo...well, it doesn't really feel like his, not to mention we all know someone who "trulee" needs to have it more, but that'll be a loooooong time from now... XD

I don’t always take pictures of what Pokemon look amusing when Shadowed, because so many of them are silly, but I couldn’t resist here.
He angy.

Im pretty sure you thought about it yourself. Team Rocket AU Inari. Exactly how you think she would've developed.
Tumblr media
The only way I see Inari being a part of Team Rocket is if they made her a Shadow Pokémon. Unwaveringly obedient, horribly destructive, and completely unfeeling, the Mew quickly becomes Giovanni’s right hand ‘mon.
But how long before she bites the hands that holds the leash?

One of the reasons I would love seeing a revival and sequel to the Orre games is the potential of Shadow Pokemon is terrifying, considering just how many Pokemon that are essentially gods have been introduced since Gen3.
Like, special mention to Darkrai, who can cause unending nightmares and sleep if the victim is left untreated by the Lunar Wing (and this is normally unintentional), or the embodiment of death and destruction Yveltal, which could easily wipe out entire towns, or Eternatus, a Pokemlon that has base stats much higher than Arceus in its Eternamax form, or hell, even the creation trio, with dominion over space, time, and antimatter.
Just imagine how bad things would be if any of these guys got corrupted to the extent Lugia did:

Or even on a smaller scale, there's dangerous Pokemon like Mega Gengar that regularly seeks out lives to take (a villain in the movies works out how to Mega Evolve a Pokemon without a bond being needed, I imagine one of Cipher's scientists could do the same thing) or mass brainwashers like Malamar or Aegislash that could be used to "recruit" new members:
