so this all initially started as a document i made for my idea for a gen 7 pmd game back in 2017. i distinctly remember making a post on poorly-drawn-pmd back when i was still modding that (if anybody reading this remembers that you're a real one and also i'm sorry that you knew me when i was 15-17) about wanting a pmd game with a villain protagonist and you could have different endings and choose whether or not to chamge your ways and become a hero or stay being a villain and i wanted to try fleshing it out into its own story, though that didn't pan out in the end.

unless i vaguely remembered this idea (though i forgot i made the actual document) when making ttb and scrapped it for parts. what who said that.

iirc calypso was supposed to be a litten? i wanted to be epic and have a male popplio/female litten duo. but yeah this is where that idea ends for now.

then, in 2019, i wanted to make proper pmd ocs after seeing how much fun my wife was having with his, so i completely shifted gears and made brand new ocs. most of the art for these has been lost to time, but i did manage to salvage some from the depths of my art blog. i remember the team consisted of a torracat, meowstic, archen and rotom, there was a rival team of a braixen, ambipom and murkrow, and there were a few side ocs like a brionne (lol), rockruff, umbreon and tsareena. i can remember their names and relationships too, but i won't go into that here.

i can remember that the first art was done for lesbian visibility day, and that's why there were pride flags sjhdjhebd.

i basically drew a few things with these but not much else but i'm realising now as of writing this that i scrapped some of them for parts for ttb too.

moving forward to 2020, i wanted a complete overhaul because i wasn't really satisfied with these ocs. gen 8 was out properly now, so i had new pokemon to choose from, and popplio/scorbunny were such a good duo together. again, this mostly stemmed from wanting another new non-remake pmd game, back when i was young and optimistic (💀), so i sketched up some icky yucky designs of what would eventually become my disgusting children.

unfortunately, i still lacked commitment to actually doing something with them so they sat on the backburner for another two years. in that time, in 2021, i made a more general piece of art with a popplio/scorbunny duo expressing my want for another pmd game with simplified designs.

around this time i was also thinking about this duo but as humans? like it was going to be completely detached from pmd and i think this is when i thought of giving human!scorbunny a younger sister (which eventually turned into kaira) but i eventually returned to my roots and made them pokemon again.
