Akane - Lopunny; Akane in general is giving me those vibes, especially Lopunny's mega form. It looks so badass man and tho Akane isn't my favorite, she's definitely pretty kickass!! (She, Toko & Peko also turned out the best, I'm really proud of those designs)
Chiaki - Shiny! Mareep; She's very sleepy and you count sheep to sleep! Shiny because pink, and gaming requires electricity so she'd be an electric type. Also Mareep is very very cute and I think Chiaki is very cute :)
Mikan - Shiny! Buneary - pink.....buny! I would have done Chansey, but a lot like how I did Litleo instead of Vulpix for Leon, the design translated better into Bunnery. Plus poor girl deserves to be a special shiny. God love you Mikan <3
Teruteru - Greedent; It's associated with food in the lil advertisement boards you see in Scarlet and Violet. Im not a Teruteru fan to say the least, but I wasn't gonna leave anyone out and this was just too fitting NOT to draw imo
Chihiro - Pachirisu; THEY'RE SO DAMN CUUUUUUTE OH MY GOD!!! They're 100% squirrel energy, and 110% an electric type. Another close choice was Dedenne but my cousin, who is a huge Chirhiro fan, said she liked Pachirisu more.
Yasuhiro - Espeon; Ultimate Clairvoyant. Psychic Pokemon. I love eevees. I love Hiro. Laugh damn you.
Toko - Zwellious; It says in its Pokedex that if the 2 heads don't get the equal amount of attention, they start fighting. And that just reminded me of Toko & Jill/Syo. A runner up was Doduo but the design again, didn't translate well & looked awkward.
Sakura - Lucario; I'm very fond of Lucario AND Sakura. It's pokedex fits Sakura well imo, and the design translates well! Especially into Mega Lucario
Aoi - Vaporeon; Vaporeon is an EXCELLENT pokemon who can hit hard! It's attack is 65 and Sp. Atk is 110! And its a very cute pokemon, and Hina is very cute and very strong imo! (I will incinerate anyone who even MENTIONS the copypasta in any reblog tags/comments.)
Peko - Accidental Shiny!Cereledge; SWORDS!!!!!!! And Cereledge looks SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much cooler than Aegislash which was gonna be my 2nd choice. I love you Peko, mwa!! (I say accidental shiny because I forgot how much missed potential Shiny Cereledge has, because the only difference is Shiny Cereledge has red eyes. Thats the only difference. Like are we so serious??)
Fuyuhiko - Persian; Cause the leader of Team Rocket had a Persian in the anime and in another episode a Persian was the leader of a gang of Meowth so its the most gangsta' pokemon to me :)
Ibuki - Luxio; This was a choice from my friend who's an Ibuki Kin and I assume its because Ibuki & Leon have a similar vibe, I might be a biased Leon kin tho assuming he's involved, but spikey lion!! Also Ibuki has so much energy it'd be stupid to not make her an electric type! My choice was Jolteon but I like Luxio more :)
