Shit. Let's be pokemon trainers. An AU

[Shadow of the Lotus]

Someone had an awesome post a couple of art threads ago about the kids and trolls with pokemon. I actually had the post bookmarked for the longest time as I was tempted to write a fic on it (maybe someone remembers it? The main picture was of Dave with that crocodile-with-glasses pokemon (damn, I stopped playing after ruby. Don't know newer ones now or even some of the ones between. Only ever knew all of the original).

Anyways, one of the things they advocated was that John had a charmander that he traded(or actually, I think he just gave it) to Rose (Casey) and that Rose had a squirtle. I think both of those still make sense.

Well I did just happen to have this laying around

Quick sketch from a couple weeks ago.

[yokaiy]

Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff each have a Missingno.

THIS

Ew, no way. MissingNo is way too tame a glitch for them. They need to have like... ChiisaiU or the female symbol or A or a or something. OR Invisible Shiny Bulbasaur. Or just give them the ZZAZZ glitch and they can have a team full of exploding Bulbasaurs.

But those glitches just don't have cool enough names!
Seriously just read this out loud:
MissingNo

[Jasper17]

Equius' team:

Machamp is nicknamed STRONGER, Machoke is nicknamed STRONG, Rapidash is nicknamed MUSCLEBEAST, Regigigas is nicknamed STRONGEST, Miltank is named EDWARD (humanimals) and I have no idea for the last one.

These are not to be taken seriously

But yes I will advocate for MissingNo being an awesome thing because I love mine. It is my baby. But it's really not very glitchy as far as pokémon glitches are concerned, so I feel like we'd need something more ridiculous for SBAHJ. : V I mean, viewing it's 'dex data doesn't even cause the game to crash! That, my friend, is a docile glitch right there. It doesn't learn any glitch moves, either. I mean, even 'M at least is vaguely more hazardous with the whole Lvl 0 PC glitch shindig, but still. We need something hardcore.

Karkat's team:

Gamzee's party
(magnets)



Jade's?

[mythmonster2]

I stand by my suggestion Gamz should have a super-powered Pokemon. Maybe replace one of the Magnetites with Darkrai or Arceus as I suggested.

oh god oh god why why
this thread is a dream come true

That would be mine! I'm surprised someone even remembers.
I'll just crosspost the stuff from there under some spoilers...

WOBBUFETT

[Jasper17]

John totally has a shiny Grimer/Muk.

[Shadow of the Lotus]

@carbon-14: Oh yeah, I definitely remembered. I would have commented at the time if it hadn't been for the fact I was taking a break from the forum for two months at that time. I had that post bookmarked for ages. I just thought it was cute to think of John trading Rose a shiny charmander. I had this sort-of-story in my head working of John trading Casey to Rose shortly after her choroneko died but never got around to writing anything. I think it was only a week ago I finally took down the bookmark. Since I didn't say it then, I'll say it now. Cute pictures and I like the concept. And obviously the concept was a good one since we have this thread a month later or so, lol.

[champlooCanti]

Terezi's team:
