*initally was gonna do revelation mountain but then i realized i had no plans to draw my gti team so i figured now was my chance

1 • 2 • 3 • 4 • 5 • 6 • 7

The year is 2050, and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, now known as WOKEmon LIBERAL COMMUNE is being remade. It has remakes of all four games, Rescue Team is now **Rescue Theys**. Your partner will always be non binary and there are 63 gender options for your hero, though hero and partner are stigmatized terms, so now we have the social activist and the anti-racisim pal. Team Meanies is now Team LGBTQ Rights. Gengar is Gengay, Medicham is now Ru Paul, and Ekans is now Yranibnon. The meteor in the end of the game has been replaced with the capitalist party. **Explorers of Sky** is now Explorers of Activisim. The Guild is now the Liberal Party. Wigglytuff and Chatot are now a proud lesbian couple with Wigglytuff being a trans woman and Chatot being non-binary as it's too misogynistic to have only men in power. Wigglytuff is no longer the guild master but the Prime Minister of the Activists. Team Skull has been rebranded to Team Cis and represent the capitalist party. Skuntank is now Trump, Zubat is now Cishet, and Koffing is now White American. The other major change is to the future trio, Grovyle is now Wokevyle, Dusknoir is now Duskhernoir, and Celebi is now Celebisexual. **Gates to Infinity** also faces lots of changes, Paradise is now Pride 2050. Emolga is now Gayolga, Dunsparce is now Dunsparce, Virizion is Dykeion, Espeon is TWeon and Umbreon is CWeon. The Bittercold has been replaced with the Florida Governor. Dunsparce and Gayolga are a proud gay t4t couple. Dykeion and Keldeo- I mean Kelthey, stopped being friends after Kelthey triggered Dykeion by mentioning Harry Potter. Oh! I forgot to mention, but the fighting mechanics have now been replaced with debating mechanics, in which you debate the other Pokemon on the best way to stop climate change. Anyways, finally we have **Super Mystery Dungeon** called what else, but Super Woke Local Commune. Nuzleaf is now Nuzshe, and gives single mothers representation. The Expedition Society is now the Red Society (communisim) and the scariest part? This game doesn't come out in 2050. It's being written RIGHT NOW.

Rescue Team - Team Fire Coral -

Orchid the Blaziken:

| + | She/He | + | Bigender Lesbian | + | ❤️ Seaslug

Spunky, protective, adventurous, and hot-headed. She often charges right into things on a whim and without thinking them through. His hot-headedness leads him to be fairly aggressive at times. She's also rather stubborn, often holding grudges and being completely set in her ways. The only Pokemon he was really able to fully forgive, out of everyone, was Gengar. She didn't fully forgive the town for sending her and her partner into exile, they knew Gengar was bad news, but they still believed him. Gengar on the other hand, after the events of Murky Cave, she began to see more as a mischievous kid rather than some completely evil monster. She adopted him as an 'honary member of Team Fire Coral.'

Seaslug the Wartortle:

| + | They/She/He | + | Genderfluid Pansexual | + | ❤️ Orchid

Pretty similar to Orchid in personality, just much more introverted than her. They're also a bit of a hot-head, but has a much easier time letting go than their partner, being able to forgive pretty much every, except for Ninetales though, both Seaslug and Orchid have their problems with her. They're incredibly supportive of their girlfriend, no matter what. Believing that her hot headed and stubborn was doesn't make her a bad Pokemon.

Explorers - Team Fragment -

Najia the Delcatty:

| + | She/It/They | + | Polyamorous Agender Lesbian | + | ❤️ Aether, Spinda

Rather mischievous with a fascination for mixology and witchcraft. They're not too crazy about exploring, but they still enjoys it and spending time with the Guild Members. She's Aether's #1 supporter and will do anything to make her happy. Also pretty charismatic, managing to convince Celebi to let Grovyle and Dusknoir visit the past whenever they please. And whenever they do visit, it makes sure to have a prank to play on them at the ready. On hard days, it sneaks out into Spinda's Cafe to down some Pokemon wine. Spinda often lets them vent to them about whatever's troubling them. Also still very bitter about Navy ( Manaphy ) being taken away from her due to past mommy issues. Oops

- - - - -

Aether the Luxio:

| + | She/Her | + | Ambiamorous Girlflux Biromantic | + | ❤️ Najia, Spinda

She's timid, easily startled, and self-deprecating. Despite this, she's very determined to achieve her dream of becoming an explorer. Najia helped Aether get over her fears, though her anxiety is still a problem for her in her day-to-day life, but she's come to terms with that, and she's fine with that. She knows she has Najia, Spinda, and her friends to help her whenever she needs, and that's all that matters to her. Aether became friends with Team Skull in the year that Najia was gone. Najia was hesitant to trust them at first, but ultimately came around. Aether still vividly remembers the day Najia disappeared, and occasionally has nightmares where she disappears again. But Najia is always there to comfort her after them.

Gates to Infinity - Team Hope -

Raja the Axew/Zorua Hybrid:

| + | She/They | + | Demigirl Lesbian | + | ❤️ Virizion

Mischievous and really damn smart. Tends to act like a know-it-all for the fun of it, in fact she does most things for the fun of it. Often considering saying or doing pretty rude or dumb things soley to see what happens. Though, their sensible, smart side prevents them from doing it. Unlike in Mako's exact wish, she wasn't able to freely travel between the human world and Pokemon world. Instead being stuck in the Pokemon world. Mako apologized, but she insisted that it was fine. Unlike the other heroes, she remembers her human life with near perfect clarity. She seems awfully reluctant to talk about it, though. She also never quite forgave Munna & the others or Kyurem. Especially Kyruem, who attacked her out of the blue, leading to her loosing an eye and permanently breaking a leg.

- - - - -

Mako the Oshawott:

| + | He/They | + | Demiboy Gay

He initially started out as a careless, distrusting guy due to the nature of their world. Due to the rarity of shiny Pokemon, he was often treated as a 'good luck token' instead of an actual Pokemon with thoughts and feelings. He eventually realized his old 'friends' were just manipulating him, and swore to never let himself be used again. He ran away from his old home, running into Raja along the way. He initially bought the land to be his paradise, but he slowly began to warm up to his friends. Though, they didn't formally apologize for treating them poorly until after he was kidnapped by Munna, where he began to doubt Raja would come save him due to how horrible he was to her. But, when she and Hydreigon came through, he realized that Raja and the others really did care about him the whole time. Apologizing for everything when he returned to Paradise. From then on, he dropped his persona and let the others see his more goofy, laid-back, and righteous side. He also never got a scallop like other Oshawotts, instead being given one by Raja the night after she rescued him from Munna.

Super Mystery Dungeon - Team Dreamscape -

Ember the Fennekin:

| + | She/Xe/Any | + | Genderqueer Lesbian | + | ❤️ Fern

Once she first arrived in the Pokemon world, Ember was incredibly rude and distrusting of everyone. Though, she did still have morals and a sense of justice. Often agreeing to help Pokemon due to moral obligations or an obvious wrong needing to be righted. Though as time goes on, Ember would only increasingly warm up to Fern, showing her to be not some ruthless bully, but a sarcastic nerd who was scared to hurt herself by becoming loosing a good friends, so she chose to not make any friends. She revealed her fixations on herbology, medicine, and astrology, often nerding out to Fern about cool plants she found. After the post-game, Ember reveals that exploring isn't really what she wants. After everything, she just wants to go back to Serene Village with Nuzleaf, with the excitement of Lively Town and Expedition Society being a little too overwhelming for her at the time. She wanted to go back to school and learn how to become a doctor. Though to her surprise, Fern completely understood. So, she moved back, but not without making Fern promise to visit often.

- - - - -

Fern the Snivy:

| + | She/Her | + | Trans Lesbian | + | ❤️ Ember

The silliest silly to ever silly. She's profusely optimistic and extroverted. She doesn't really notice or care if others are upset with her, except for Ember, in which case she'll make up for whatever upset her as soon as possible. While Fern helped Ember to open up and learn that its better to have loved and lost than to never have loved, Ember helped Fern learn that being reckless isn't always that good. It's okay to be a little reckless, but if you're too reckless, you could end up getting others hurt in the process. She also helped her to learn to be a bit more considerate of others feelings, some people prefer to have some peace and alone time, and that's okay. They're still friends even if they don't hang out or talk every day. When Ember told her that she wanted to return to Serene Village, Fern was initially hurt, but remembered what Ember helped teach her. It was okay for Ember to have a different dream then her, her moving back to Serene Village didn't mean they'd never see each other again, because they would. They could visit each other at almost any time. Plus, they were good friends with a Talonflame named Flametail, who agreed to help them send each other letters. If anything, Fern was incredibly happy. Ember fully opened up to her, she trusted Fern to not get upset with her when she told her about wanting to move back. The old Ember would've never done that, she would've kept making herself miserable.

*replaying gates to infinity forgot how UNBEARABLY slow the text was like omfg i think i've heard slugs talk faster than these people

Komaeda said fuck the Winds of Despair

spoilers for Persona 3 and Gates to Infinity:

The Bittercold is GTI's Erebus.

P3 cast's goal is to stop the Fall, which is the end of the world, caused by humanity's desire to die.

GTI cast's goal is to stop the Bittercold from destroying the world, the Bittercold being the manifestation of pokemon's "negative emotions" (kid-friendly desire to die)

ok so like The Voice of Life is like the world's will to live, so it makes sense that the Bittercold is the opposite.

However, instead of sealing away Nyx so Erebus can't get to it, the GTI protagonist instead destroys their Erebus.

(guess it was really a skill issue on the P3 cast's part)

Either way, both protagonists stop existing (one dies, the other literally leaves the world).

pokemon mystery dungeon gates to infinity is literally persona 3

Spoilers for PMD: Gates to Infinity

had a thought again:

again, spoilers for PMD: Gates to Infinity, and cw: death

When the player left the pmd world, everyone was supposed to forget they even existed. That's how human departures from the pmd world seem to work, at least with how Hydreigon explained it. Everyone in Paradise remembering is an exception.

So:

The previous humans probably made companions before they died, companions who can't even remember them.

is the memory wiping thing only a PMD World → Human World thing? CAUSE IF NOT, those humans' friends and families ALSO would've forgotten about them when they disappeared (maybe until they came back dead? Maybe their memories would come back?)

What happens to the evidence of their existence? (e.g. photos, literally anything they themselves made, etc.) Does it stay? Do people just wake up one day and find that their nightstand has a framed photo of them with some kid that resembles them that they've never seen in their life?

What about when that human inevitably comes back dead? If they never get their memories back, how would they feel if that person who suddenly showed up in their photos was right in front of them, crushed to death? And if they do get their memories back, that's heartbreaking. A dead person shows up, and you suddenly remember the time you spent with them, and the time you spent mourning their loss all at once.

thinking about pmd gti again

cw: death, also spoilers for Gates to Infinity

so like, it's explicitly stated that the protagonist wasn't the only human brought to the PMD world by Hydreigon. There were others. Countless humans who were "defeated" by Kyurem and "sent back to the human world."

Given how Kyurem was beating the absolute shit out of the protagonist, only sparing their life because the partner stepped in...

I think it's more than safe to assume Kyurem killed those humans.

Those yellow lights floating in the sky are dead bodies. Dead bodies being sent back to the human world.

Countless people in the human world have disappeared, only to later turn up dead, and you were about to become the next victim. And if Kyurem did finish you off? There would be even more victims.

Countless people from the human world were killed, it wouldn't be too surprising if those deaths made international news. A person disappears, and some time later, they come back stomped to death.

Imagine the protagonist goes back to the human world to snack on some ice cream or something, and while scrolling through their phone, they find some people talking about it online.

How horrifying must it feel to know that you were just one step (sorry) away from facing the same fate? I wouldn't be surprised if the protagonist had nightmares of Kyurem beating the shit out of them every night.

But it's not just Kyurem's fault. Hydreigon kept bringing more and more humans to die. Sacrificing who-knows-how-many people from a completely different world just to try to save his own. Honestly surprised the protagonist doesn't have any hatred towards him (or maybe they're really good at hiding it).

might be good material for an angst fanfic tho
