Also I was gonna go with a Ninetails for Naruto but I kinda want to go with jinchuurikis having super feral legendaries instead of chakra beasts Edit: also the kages are retired champions in the different countries, to become a kage you have to defeat the previous (except for Tsunade, who was a Pokemon professor who made many medical advancements for Pokemon healing places and established the many Pokemon battle academies across the regions)
*shrug* too busy thinking up gems like Hinata having a Bewear? or the terrifying hilarity of itachi with a freaking mr.mime
OOO!!! IDEA!! what if Minato had a ninetails named KUSHINA :O like i can see him as the kind of guy who's all soft and fluffy but utterly unphased by something big/powerful/scary so like...not dating the pokemon but... uh, shit, the mr.mime lore. i don't even want to know. not toching that. but just...minato looking like the type to have all the cutest pokemon and wips out some of the either most powerful or most tempermental pokemon. and one of them is this ninetails that will FUCK. YOU. UP. but is also super sweet when they want to be. but! not my crossover idea! so take it or leave it as you like
Also I chose Mr mime as a symbol for itachi not being able to say the real reason he killed his clan. Also it's psychic fairy, and I like to think most Uchiha are "encouraged" to pick psychic types, but deep down itachi is definitely a fairy type lover. Hence the creepiest Pokemon hands down for the most troubled and toxic character
ah i was refering to the mr. mime lore of them like...replacing missing fathers and dating kid's moms and shit after than i just went NOPE and decided no more lore, accurate or otherwise, for me on that particular pokemon
Ah. That's. Creepy. Don't like it at all, and thank you for inadvertently warning me not to look Mr mime lore up Though now I want Itachi's Mr mime to be named Sasuke
aldsfhalsdhfadfksh replacement little brother HOLY SHIT (no but seriously that just about 1-hit ko'd me in the best-worst way)
oh fuck actual sasuke with ghost pokemon? no, too sad ...but also really on point for his doom&gloom and I Am The Littlist Avenger phase
Oooh, I originally said Pawniard but what about banette? The name origin totally fits Sasuke's role throughout the show:
SO, Tobirama Senju is a mad scientist. Girl Genius is full of mad scientists. Clearly this is a match made in heaven. Tobirama is experimenting with what will one day become that flying thunder god technique, but instead of dumping him out five feet away, he falls out of thin air in an entirely different dimension! Not sure when in the timeline. Somewhen and where so that he can, whether immediately or not, be wowed by and competitive with Agatha. Gil and Tarvek: >:( a rival! ...But Tobirama is 100% uninterested in anything but SCIENCE!! (my Tobirama is (usually) aroace. he likes kids, but if/when he wants one he will either just adopt whoever is *cough*unattended and promising*cough* in need of it and/or grow one in a tube)
Fuck it, Steven Universe Pokemon AU Steven and Connie are newbie trainers setting out on their journey together (also falling for each other along the way because Jam Buds is a good and righteous thing), idk what their respective partner Pokemon are but one of them definitely has a Litleo (that Lion) Dr. Maheswaran is PROFESSOR Maheswaran here and is the Delmarva region’s Pokemon professor Greg is a traveling NPC who drives around in his van and shows up at key times with helpful items or advice (more on him later) The gym leaders are…the GEM leaders lol In rough order with types (sorting them by what I would assume their difficulty levels would be bc Pokemon logic): Peridot: Electric, also has a pet Pumpkaboo and would die for her without hesitation Amethyst: Poison, 200% has a Trubbish on her team, also has a Ditto and a Wobbuffet and several Rattatas Jasper: Fighting, all her Pokemon MUST be at LEAST as beefy as her Bismuth: Ground Pearl: Fairy, also currently caring for the team a certain late gym leader left behind and crying a lot about it Lapis: Water OBVIOUSLY Garnet: Psychic, definitely also has a tiny Skitty that she loves dearly (aka Cat Steven) Ruby/Sapphire: They lead together because they’re gay, kinda like Tate and Liza but lesbians instead of twins and also their teams are different types to raise the difficulty level—Fire for Ruby and Ice for Sapphire obviously. This gym is specifically designed to be as obnoxious to beat as possible and your only hope is that they get too distracted by each other to battle (which is of course an extremely common occurrence) Rose was a Grass gym leader and then obviously died for babby reasons Idk who the Elite Four are but Greg is secretly the Champion Team Diamond are the bad guys, Rose was formerly Admin Pink but fucked off and changed her identity Onion is a post-game trainer with all level 100 shiny legendaries with moves and abilities they cannot legitimately acquire.
I was talking to someone an a writing club server about a star wars x good omens crossover with Obi-Wan as Aziraphale and Maul as Crowley, and she was just like "but what if Maul is Aziraphale and Obi-Wan is Crowley?" and Absolutely blew my mind.
AU where Edward Elric is also at the same time Miles Vorkosigan and when he finds Taura!Nina in the Failed Military Experiments pit he just steals her on his way out and recruits everyone to help her learn how to person again.
