#the birdie is hyperfixatiiiiing

[hollowknightheadcanons]

hiii everyone, this post is relevant again because guess what my latest hyperfixation is. That’s right. Pokémon Mystery Dungeon.

I’m gonna try and keep this short until I reach the cut (which will go into spoiler territory so DNI if you haven’t played the game. PLEASE. it’s a really good game) but watch out for the incoming infodump!

This started because I kept making jokes about how Partner (a mudkip in my playthrough) was similar to Lemm because they kept talking about relics, and that Hero (a torchic in my playthrough) was similar to Quirrel because they lost their memory.

And then we kept going from there. Really the only major character we don’t have a role for is Dusknoir. We have no clue who will have his role. Anyway.

Quirrel: Hero, and he’s an oshawott

Lemm: Partner, and he’s a lillipup

Hornet: Grovyle, and she is a raboot (my choice) or a sneasal (my friend’s choice)

Ghost: Celebi probably, and they are a shiny phantump

Mato: Now, Mato is complicated because we changed the lore a bit. He’s the guild master, but he used to be one of three before Oro left the town completely and Sheo decided to focus more on painting so now he has to do this alone. No ideas for who Chatot is.

Monomon: Uxie, because fog. Also the rest of the dreamers are going to be those 3. However, there was another choice for Monomon. More on that later.

Herrah: Mesprit

Lurien: Azelf

Myla, Cloth, Tiso, Zote, Bretta, and maybe more: other guild members

And now, spoiler time!

The other choice I had for Monomon was Grovyle of course, since she and Quirrel would have known each other in the past. But ended up deciding on Hornet in the end, since the 3 dreamers as the ones guarding the time gears also worked.

And Dusknoir, I have no clue whose gonna have his role. He’s a complicated character. And I do not want to default to Lace again like with the Hollowsong AU. But yeah. I have no idea who. Even after playing special episode 5

I really like Hornet as Grovyle, even if she didn’t know Quirrel in the past in canon, I still think it works.

Also thinking about all the situations with some of these characters that happens in pmd... >:)

If anyone wants to add any more ideas or just talk about this, let me know!

Oh and for extra, Markoth is a shiny decidueye, Thistlewind is a dartrix, Myla is a shaymin, Marmu as a caterpie maybe?, Hive Knight as a beedrill, Vespa as a vespiquen (come on, it’s literally in the name), Tiso as a sandshrew (inside joke, other option is riolu), and that’s all I remember off the top of my head. I’m gonna take a look at the pokédex later.
