This happened a long time ago when Straw brought up the topicĀ āDonāt you think Swellow looks sort of like (SPE) Maxie?ā
Like, not only does this guy have a bird
He looks like the bird
(Your buddy SPE Max is either drunk or badly drawn in Pokespe so have a pic of ORAS Max instead)
It fits RSE/SPE better imo because of the darker red + black colors too; and theĀ triangley design; and the smirk
So we often joke that Maxie is a swellow gijinka
He is. Spread the word
Extra: It got out of control with the Archies
And then the discussion sort of went towardsĀ āwhat would the Archies be if they were pokemonā, something like that
Me: RSE Archie is a Sharpedo
Me: ORAS Archie is a Carvanha
Me: Because ORAS comes after RSE, so heās a kouhai
(āA "kouhai" is your junior at work, school, or a group.ā āUrban Dictionary)
SPE Archie is left undecided, and I didnāt think spheal was a good fit
āLook at this condescending shit
āDoes he look like this sacred roly poly creatureāno
He doesnāt even look like a walrein
...It took a while
Then the notion hit my head to the point that I canāt unsee
Iām overdoing it
But you get the point
(I even command+I-ed a goldeen and made crude edits to the eyes, but here, have a really crack Archideen)
(Itās black and blue!)
Iām sorry
My sense of humor is weird; hope you find this funny orz

Current progress: I kicked Archieās ass on Chimney and got to Lavaridge
He only gave me „2000 for winning
What a cheapo ojisan
Go Magma go
Collecting volcanic ash is fun
I hear they nerfed it in ORAS
Sad
RSE and SPE Max probably do this a lot and have full flute collections
They volcano nerds, why not
Hoenn is really environment-focused
Even their villains are eco-terrorists
But itās weird that you donāt see people mentioning a lot about Hoenn air quality issues
(Volcanic ash can damage your lungs, man, and thereās kids who collect a lot of this stuff and ninjas hiding in them on Route 113, where thereās so much volcanic ash it looks like as if itās snowing there)
Or maybe Hoennians are beyond human to the point that they donāt have to worry about inhaling volcano ash. Thatās also a possibility.Ā (Sapphire is like a superhuman and Courtney can chop trees in SPE. Hmmmmmmm)
(ā crack HCs)
Wallyās story and Verdanturf sort of taps into the air stuff
The way the winds blow, volcanic ash is never blown in this direction.Ā
The air is clean and delicious here.
Living here should even do wonders for even frail and sickly people.
Eh. I find it a little weird that canon Maqua content doesnāt mentionĀ this at all.
Other random thoughts:
I know this is game being easy on me but itās fun to HC that Archie only recently started to train a bat
(Akage no An: āAnne of Green Gablesā in Japanese [lit. āred-haired Anneā])
(I know this is a guy Plusle but Iām weird)
Hoenn Dex: 60/202 (30%)
In RS the default protag name isnāt May and Brendan but Terra/Landon (Ruby) and Marina/Sean (Sapphire)
But the friend/rival name is still May and Brendan, respectively
(Sean...Sean... Amazing)
This guy
Most of the fan content of RSE Maxie makes him goofy and dumb and stuff but Iāve also seen calmish and charismatic portrayals of him
Iām getting lazy so Iāll just redirect to my thoughts that I typed out in the Discord chat
I feel like the varying approaches exists because RSE Max exists in five canons
(Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Anime, with an extra SPE spin-off version)
SPE Courtney and SPE Maxie in a staring contest while furiously middle-fingering each other
(This was during the time when Courtney was having feelings towards Ruby)
ā I hope she gets over him
Courtnies (SPE + ORAS Courtney) hanging out
Milkshakes and science museums and leader worries (āWhen will he stop drinking beerā āāIf my calculations are correct, the Leader Maxie from my universe has a 78.4% chance of aborting his midday mealā¦ā āYou mean his lunchā
āā¦today. And, correct.ā) and stuff
Little Courtney (ORAS) is also capable of blowing bubble gum bubbles
Big Courtney and Little Courtney blowing bubbles together
Ye
Matt swimming
Red, but in a blue palette because Pokemon Blue exists
(Or in green-ish palette because Pokemon Green also exists)
Lusamine in her teens
Or Lusamine as a child
Guzma training with Hala and watches how Hau makes his grunts do work (source: this can be seen in Iki Town postgame)
Hau might not be able to beat Moon and Sun, but heās still one of those kids who finished the Island Trial
Donāt underestimate him
(Sorry not sorry Ruby fans. I donāt really like himā¦(“ーļ½))
So for your AU if Maxie's a kitsune and Archie's a kappa, what creatures would the other Team Bosses be?
(I finally got to talk to him and stuff)(Incoming long post!)So initially we were gonna go Asian creatures
Cyrus ā nekomata, SPE MaxieĀ ā Shuten DojiDilemma: Who the hell is Ibaraki DojiItās definitely not SPE Archie (but Me: I want to see Archie crossdress fkajnbkjbnjkbnbb)
And then we were stuck on LysandreStraw: Heās a foreigner though(if ā first four regions = Japanese)Straw: Wait, if Ghetsis is from Unova AmericanĀ then would he be Cthulhu or something???Straw: (Native weird creatures and stuff)Me: Holy shit Cthulhu goodMe: This is really goodā¦Me: What is Sakaki (Giovanni) thenMe: Ebisu??Straw: Ebisu hhhhhhMe: Money is everything!!Ā Straw: āSilver: I reject my deity PAPA!!ā(yes, this is a JoJo reference)
(Ebisu is fortune god)(Gio deserves god status)
Me: And then itās Hawaii and French mythsā¦Straw: Guzma is probably a normal humanStraw: He wakes up one day and finds the world around him weirdMe: Then what is LusamineStraw: This is a good question(nationality = ???)
Me: Sycamore is definitely a Fairy thoughStraw: Fairy +1Me: But what is Lys(weāre back to this question again)Straw: I feel like heās some kind of beastMe: Werewolf? Corresponds to him in game tooMe: You know, how he appears to be a good person even though his design and quotes scream Villain to the players but actually wants to destroy the worldMe: And werewolves are French (European in general)Straw: Then I choose you [werewolf]! (pokemon reference)Me: And you know how werewolves appear to be human in the day and go crazy under a full moon and stuffStraw: Heās crazy even when not under a full moon
Me: Lusamine thoughStraw: Jellyfish monster (no)Me: What about Lillie and Gladionā¦Straw: Her hair thoughMe: But then what the hell does that make the WormholeMe: Gensokyo?????Straw: Gensokyo hhhhhhhh(hhhhh = hahahaha in Chinese netspeak)(Also, Touhou reference)
Me: No but setting it to Gensokyo is weirdMe: I feel like sheās a human who could see all the paranormal activity and stuffMe: Magician or sthStraw: Jellyfish monster witch?Me: Why does it always have to be the jellyfish monster hhhhhhhhStraw: Because First Impressions! (Who even has jellyfish first impressions)Me: A jellyfish monster whoās learned sorcery (what), duels w/ Kitsune Maxieās sorcery (danmaku)(Yet another Touhou reference)
And thatās pretty much it
Sorry for taking this longā¦but this is the overall discussion and I hope you enjoy this yuuuuge post, anon!

SPE Maxie, surprisingly very good at violin
No one knows this though, not even those that are closest to him
He only plays to his pokemons
Steven Stone is probably possessed by a Metagross since he has the strength of one
Fighting him is a bad idea
Cyrusābad at drawing, excellent at sculpting
He probably feeds murkrows
The crows remember him pretty well
SPE Archie can dance can sing can voice act can do anything
(Hoenn TV director!)
(Also consider: Voice Actor! SPE Archie, who always deadpans when reading his script, even in the most emotional moments. He does his work well though.)
ORAS Maxie: āIā¦was a gamer in collegeā
(He still kinda sorta is, the old man)
This guy secretly records his gruntsā accounts and assist them in game occasionally
(Tabitha: Who is this super good player??????? Confuse???)
Tabitha working out
He needs to get stronger and healthier
The tradition of Aqua is to raid the birthday person with bro hugs when they wake up
This also applies to ORAS Archie
(āMatt⦠waitā¦!ā)
Ghetsis doesnāt know how to change diapers
How does he manage it, how
Saturn is never really good at battling, but at least he grooms Toxicroak well
He sometimes gets a little sick doing this, though
RSE/SPE Courtney, carrying a drunk (and kinda hurt) Maxie on her shoulders because she can
Camerupt is slowly trotting behind her, feeling guilty
Old caveman is going to be scolded by some girl couple hours later, after he heals
(āWho are you againā¦? Ow goddamnitā *gets flicked on the forehead hard*)
Blaise and Tabitha comes over, concerned
Aneki usually knows best; but today sheās troubled
They kinda all huddle together
The old man blinks a couple times and sighs
And he hugs them back
Itās an awkward atmosphere, yet warm at the same time
-The drinking issue has to be dealt with. Heās gonna need his Magma family.
.
I dunno, they look like good prompts for art and stories
Groudonās opinions on the Maxies
Is partial crack
To ORAS Maxie (current Trainer): āMaxie is a good bro!ā
And pats his back
Maxie feels like heās going to cough out the coffee that he just had a couple minutes ago
To SPE Maxie: āYou a bro too!ā
(Caveman grins. Maxie [ORAS] shoots him a dangerous gaze.)
(His counterpart attempted to have a nice little tea beer party with the Dino. There was also something about bark-eating involved in the process. Thatās not happening again for the well-being of them both.)
To RSE Maxie:
(Groudon shuts up. Groudon sniffs the man. Groudon shakes his head.)
āI remember you nowāand I donāt really like youā¦ā
As Maxie (RSE) falls on the floor orz style and suffers from rejection, Groudon adds in a little more:
āI remember having a bro in RSEā¦ā He scratches his head.
āRight! It was Pikachu!ā
Maxie (RSE) groans on the floor.
āPikachu is best bro!ā
Meanwhile, Maxie (ORAS) and Maxie (SPE) cast glances of pity towards the heartbroken Maxie (RSE).
