pokeaniweek

And so this concludes 2017′s #pokeaniweek.

Thank you so, so much to everyone who has participated or supported this week. I’ve had an incredibly fun time seeing your participations and talent and I’m beyond happy that this week allowed all of you to share your creations! Because I’ve had so much fun, I’ve decided that this #pokeaniweek will run next year too - as long as people are up for it. 

Participations can still be submitted! I’m going to be taking/reblogging answers until the 1st of May, after that I’m afraid I won’t have time due to exam season starting for me.

Pokeani Week Day 5: Favorite Relationship

Better late than never! May and Drew’s relationship is so important to me. 

#Pokéaniweek ➸ Day 5 (Sorry I’m late!): favourite relationship.

As much as I love ships (amourshipping, ikarishipping, contestshipping, jellowshipping…)  I didn’t want to make this a “ship thing” So I’m going to put my favourite friendships in the Pokéani!

❤ Ash-Dawn ❤

 Ash and Dawn FRIENDSHIP. I admit it, when I was young I used to ship them with all my heart, but now I can only see them as best friends. Even sometimes I think of them as siblings! In the DP series, they supported each other so much, they INSPIRED each other and they even exchanged pokémon! They really trust each other and I just love their friendship so much.

❤ Misty-Psyduck ❤

I love her relationship with Togepi too but her relationship with Psyduck is just SO FUNNY. And as much as she doesn’t want to show it, she LOVES Psyduck. For me their friendship is really great!

❤ May-Manaphy ❤

Oh my god, their moments in their movie were so beautiful and amazing. I don’t know if this movie is canon but for me it is. I only wish they wouldn’t have had to separate.

❤ Clemont-Luxio/Luxray ❤

Clemont and Bonnie deserve THE WORLD. 

With Clemont- His friendship with Luxio when he was young was so pure and precious and you don’t know how HAPPY I was  when he caught Luxio! They also support each other and is so amazing too! I also want to highlight his relationship with Clembot (I’m still crying)

❤ Bonnie-Zygarde ❤

THIS. Bonnie singing to Zygarde was my dead. I don’t usually cry and even less with the pokéani, but THAT scene… I love their friendship so much and I wish that in the future they will do a spin off about how Bonnie starts her journey with Zygarde and Dedenne!

❤ Ash-ALL his pokémon ❤

(PokeAni Week Day 7: Free Day) - yeah, I’m doing the rest super late.

The best part of anime-style battles: utilizing the field in ways you can’t in the games and also, issues like getting caught in it affecting the progress of the battle.

Komatana’s body is made up of extremely sharp blades, Tsutarja’s attacks dislodged rocks from the battlefield– the fact that Satoshi thought of using Vine Whip to throw the rocks back onto her and the way (possibly unintentionally) one of the rocks effectively pinned her to the ground, but Langley also thought of blocking instead of evading Leaf Blade so Komatana can break free were all pretty clever.

(PokeAni Week Day 4: Favourite Rival*)

I already did Shootie on day two for favourite character, so, here’s my other favourite BW! rival (but it’s a very close tie for the other half of the tournament salt squad, Cabernet/Burgundy). On one hand, Langley/Georgia can be just as bitter as Cabernet, but on the other hand, she’s a lot gentler and more… fond of everyone: she chides Cabernet both times she delights in others’ losses (Shootie, Dent), she watches Bell’s childish pursuit of Zorua fondly,  and in the Te wo Tsunagou ending/epilogue, she looks sadly up to the sky when she realizes Iris has left the region.

She acts tough, but she really wants the best for Iris, initially, just so she could have a Dragon Master from the Dragon Village to defeat in the place of the one who humiliated her, but she matures and grows to really care for her over the course of the series.

She’s not above complimenting Iris’ growth either and her Pokemon (Baivanilla/Vanilluxe!) works well with and obeys Iris– that’s usually a great sign of trust between trainers, I don’t think we’ve seen that between rivals before, even if it was out of necessity. She’s a lot more level-headed and pretty unflappable– even if she does get ticked-off sometimes, she bounces back pretty easily and she can take most things in stride.

Also, unlike Iris and Shootie/Trip, she has no problem with being a kid and doesn’t actively argue against it or try to come off as oh-so-mature and above-it-all. This drives Iris up the wall because her usual tricks just plain don’t work on Langley. Iris just called her a kid? Yeah, well, she is. She embraces her own childishness too and is totally aware of how childish her grudge against Dragons is, but so what?

Also, I just generally love her design! She’s so pretty, with a cool outfit, and I love how her team is pretty much dedicated to defeating Dragon Types– she’s going to love Fairy Types.
