characters
here's a list of speaking characters in pokemon that i like. i didn't play or read or watch everything so i may have missed some guys who might be my type, but that's fine.
individuals
top?the anti-fave list
characters i have beef with for whatever reason. no photos for these guys because i don't want them to take up space in my storage!!!
- lillie girl shut uppppppp she made my sun playthrough sooo dragging. i will never stan
- iono: came out after i'd made my genki pink netfluencer ribbon-themed gym leader oc so i didn't like her on principle. they're very different but Still
- why do i like miriam despite her also being a ribbon girl? because miriam is cool.
- crasher wake: came home 3x when i was trying to pull for raihan on pokemon masters EX (i got raihan eventually)
- candice was MY whitney when i first played pokemon diamond. girl STOP with the avalanche
- beni: so rude????????????
- tracey sketchit: i just found him boring as hell. i missed brock and i don't even really have strong feelings about brock
SHIPS??????
i've had a few over the years... i don't feel very strongly about them now – especially in comparison to my oc/canons lol – but they deserve a spot in my shrine! images that are fanart have links to the original artist's post.
pokeshipping (ash + misty)
back in MY day we called them AAML (ash and misty = love)!!!! i don't know if i'd ship them if i watched the show as an adult, but i still think they're cute. i watched ALL the AMVs.
rocketshipping (jessie + james)
this one i absolutely do still ship as an adult!!! they are such fun individual characters, and even more fun together.
contestshipping (may + drew)
honestly i just wanted may away from ash so my ship could thrive lol. but i think she and drew are cute too! differing personalities + same interests makes for a fun combo.
chosenshipping (green + silver) (pokespe)
i like that they both had this fucky masked man past together... also just read that he made her some clothes? cute?????
franticshipping (ruby + sapphire)
feral girl + polished boy is cute, especially given that their child selves were totally opposite. i need to reread this manga maybe...
hpyu (hop + gloria)
OK. MAYBE it's also because i like hop but i think they're adorable! i am not immune to childhood friends.
btyu (bede + gloria)
i also like bede. and i think bitchy prissy boy having a weakness for cute nice-but-spicy regular girl who beats him at his game is cute.
kbnkb (raihan + kabu)
i actually ship raihan with a few different people (piers, leon) but raihan/kabu is the most fun to me bc i want to see him be charmed by this old man.. find that his usual flirty tricks don't work in attracting kabu... kabu not knowing what to make of raihan's flirts... waow
volokari (volo + akari)
there are a lot of volokari flavors i like – so much you can do with them. i particularly like not-long-after postcanons where akari and volo meet (are they weird and tense? is she weirdly forgiving? is he still violent/deranged or resigned to his exile?) AND long-after postcanons where immortal volo finds akari when she returns to present day sinnoh
