Kanaya Maryam

[glowsferatu]

gardevoir: fierce, elegant, protective, green. when kanaya thinks about what she's trying to be, gardevoir is there.
leavanny: leavanny is a bug who weaves clothes for its young and that's all that really needs to be said about it
gliscor: did somebody call insect dracula, because here it is
kangaskhan: hardass mama boxer, probably has a mega stone
volcarona: like you can't get any better than a moth that is also the sun
pheromosa: i've always said that if kanaya were a pokemon, she'd be a bug/fighting physical sweeper, also having the codename "BEAUTY" and disliking uncleanness doesn't hurt

Junseo Jang

[dumbfound]

Slowpoke: That's it... that's his only pokemon. Just the one slowpoke.

[ghoulking]

Scolipede because it's a centipede-type
Giratina because not only looks sort of like a centipede, it also has a kagune tentacles on its back
Gogoat no one knows this, but Kaneki's ghoul group in canon is called the Black Goats and someone calls him the "Goat-King" ('=
Cubone because of mommy issues




Yamask "Yamask is a shadow-like Pokémon holding a mask that has a face from its time as a human. Due to being a human long ago, it has memories of being a human. If someone wears the mask Yamask carries, they will become possessed by the Yamask in question. Sometimes, it looks at this mask and cries, apparently in longing." BASICALLY KANEKI AS A POKEMON

[monge]

[heroforhobby]

I tried to choose sprites that best suited him.

[glowsferatu]

i think komasan would definitely have a wazzat


or maybe i've got that wrong, i forget

[helpline]

sigilyph: it's such a weirdo old thing that you know the doctor would love precisely because it's a weirdo old thing.
lunatone: weirdo space pokemon for the weirdo space alien.
porygon: weirdo computer pokemon! gotta collect all the weird things.
reuniclus: weirdo biology thing?
minior: another bizarre space thing.
clefairy: OKAY so the anime straight up made clefairy an extra-terrestrial. plus, I like the idea of the Doctor's team being all of these weirdos and this tiny little pink useless thing

Kidou

[tacticianing]

Empoleon: Penguins are essential. This's what Kidou's always had by his side, and the one pokemon he has that he personally selected. Named Koutei. (His initial quest was diverted by being pulled under the wing of a dark type gym leader at a young age, leading to:)
Sableye: Assigned to him, alongside the weaviles. The eyes...
Weavile x2: A fighting pair of dark/ice pack hunters known for seamless coordination and tactics. Kidou always knows which one is which, somehow.

Hermann Gottlieb

[mathemagier]

"Numbers are as close as we get to the handwriting of God."

Unown: The mysterious puzzle surrounding these hieroglyphic pokemon would seduce Hermann into becoming a researcher rather than trainer, preferring to obsess over their origins and hidden abilities deep within the Ruins of Alph.

[monge]

Definitely, it's a solid early game 'mon to have. It'll balance great with his starter, agumon, who's weak to the first monster you have to kill to raise your hunter rank.

Aerith Gainsborough

[23wishes]

lapras: a rare pokemon hunted to near-extinction (coughs) that can use rain dance. they'd GET each other.
cofagrigus: a creepy egyptian-inspired ghost type. ancient cetra are basically ancient egyptians from the remains of their temples we see in the games. also i'm terrible and had to include a ghost type.
roserade: pretty AND deadly, just the way aerith likes them.
sylveon: because i can't not give aerith the ribbon pokemon.
audino: a rare healer pokemon. it can also sense people's emotions like a certain flower girl.
trubbish: she's still a slum girl at heart. also, it's cute.

[admemoriam]

Litwick, Drifloon, Pumpkaboo, and Phantump because they are all adorable ghost types, and Noah has a problem, clearly. And then Mimikyu because, well, the whole "something horrifying disguised under something cute" thing. He would have absolutely zero regard for their strength or abilities. They're just his friends.

[glowsferatu]

slaking is absolutely perfect, both for pose and concept

[admemoriam]

oh my jesus he fuckin would

[23wishes]

next import gossip article: KANAYA'S POKESONA - LEAKED?!?

[helpline]

THERE WILL BE NO SHITTALKING HIS BEAUTIFUL PINK CHILD.

[23wishes]

this is adorable

[sleight_of_hand]

...let's face it, he'd probably be mostly dark- and poison-types.

...Litten is just there for the aesthetic.

[glowsferatu]

you forgot the other gen6 grass/ghost


According to old tales, these Pokémon are stumps possessed by the spirits of children who died while lost in the forest.

[admemoriam]

alksjdhaslkjdh I JUST ADDED THAT ONE it was too perfect

riku

[resipiscent]

lycanroc midday form: "When properly raised from a young age, it will become a trustworthy partner that will absolutely never betray its Trainer."
absol: it's dark type but means well. its mega form has fucking angel wings
garchomp: kh fans are always complaining about how riku as a boss is super hard
vaporeon: it's cute (read: is like his friends) and it fits the island theme
murkrow: dark type aesthetic. also cute
silvally: "Once it finds a partner it trusts, Type: Null destroys its own control mask to become Silvally. It reverts to its wild temperament, but it will obey its Trainer and even risk its own life in its partner's defense."

[magnitudes]

Please help idk enough about the pokes /wades into pokedex while sobbing

[trouvaille]

i'm so happy about the tiny little pink useless thing

[glowsferatu]

as a replacement for audino


in addition to its whole flower tail, comfey gets an exclusive ability, triage, that gives priority to healing moves

[ewenique]

I'M STILL WADING
