Closed Hey maybe I should do my headcanons here (OUTDATED)

Incorrect quotes: Riverdale
    • Pokémon characters as quotes from Riverdale (I've snapped, as you can see)

    Contains swearing and references to drugs.

    Hoenn player character: I survived a [Zigzagoon attack], dad.

    Kris: Can I get a hug?
    Silver: Can I get a dad?

    Cynthia: Drop the butter knife, bitch.

    Steven (to his Mega Stone): Maybe we’re endgame.
    (Blue in the background, his phone spinning around on the ceiling fan as the Avengers theme plays.) (Ok that ceiling fan wasn't a part of the show but shhh)

    Bruno: I dropped out in the fourth grade to run drugs to support my nana.
    Lance: That means you haven’t known the triumphs and defeats, the epic highs and lows of highschool football!

    Cynthia (To Volkner and Flint): Out of the way, Bert and Ernie.

    Silver: I self-identify as a loner.

    Bede: That’s the common misconception about fairy tales. They very rarely have a happy ending.

    Malva: I need girls with fire on my squad.

    Red: In case you haven’t noticed, I'm weird. I’m a weirdo. I don't fit in. And I don't want to fit in. Have you ever seen me without this stupid hat on? That's weird.

    • Dark Energy Theory
    • The Dark Energy Theory

    The Dark Energy Theory is, as its name implies, a theory that there's a Dark type counterpart to Psychic energy/powers/abilities.
    Due to stigma surrounding Dark types and the belief that they're evil/dangerous, there's not much research into this theory. In recent years, the theory has started to gain more mainstream recognition.
    It's possible that Dark energy feeds off negative emotions (anger, fear, etc.) and/or literal darkness (ex. shadows). Evidence—including Dark type Pokémon immunity to Psychic type moves and studies that show that Dark type specialists are less susceptible to Psychic abilities like mind reading—suggests that it has the ability to suppress Psychic powers/abilities. During the Galarian Piracy Age, pirates often had Dark type Pokémon like Sharpedo guard Psychic prisoners. This has continued into modern times, with prisoners being kept in holding facilities heavily guarded by Dark type Pokémon.

    • I'm slowly trying to get back into headcanons and stuff, but it's hard since I've got so much going on. I'm sorry, everyone. ( @EternalPokéFanGirl I'm really really sorry I haven't gotten your requests in yet, but they're coming eventually. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about them, and I'm really looking forward to finishing them!)

    In the meantime, have some bisexual headcanons because way back when, I was doing PokéPride edits and I just found some of them on my computer.

    I promise, promise, promise I will do your other requests. I finished the Shauna requests, and I figured I might as well post them so I don't have nothing for so long.
    Thank you for your patience!

    Shauna
    1. She has a very good memory, especially when remembering happy memories.
    2. Every so often, she makes her friends cookies, Poképuffs, and other baked goods.
    3. She’s lived in Vaniville Town for her whole life, but it was only recently that kids her age also lived in the town. Because of this, she didn’t grow up with a whole lot of friends.
    4. Because of this, she’s quick to try to make friends with people.
    5. She also easily trusts people.
    6. Her father works as a technician in Lumiose City, so she’d often come with him. It was here that she met Clemont and Bonnie, who were the kids of Shauna’s father’s friend Meyer. She also met Trevor there.
    7. She’s unapologetically boy band trash and theatre trash.
    8. Everything's better with bows.
    9. She collects fashion magazines from across the world and time periods.
    10. Denim pants? Absolutely. Denim jackets? Yes. Denim socks? Of course.
    11. She’s really good at math, and she does newspaper crossword puzzles.
    12. She has an old laptop that’s really slow and crashes every five minutes, but it was a gift from her mom and she doesn’t have the heart to replace it, so she just pays Clemont to fix it every week.
    13. It’s really rare for her to get sick.
    14. She likes walking in the rain. The sound of raindrops pitter-pattering is relaxing.
    15. She loves small cafés, and she prefers them over big, lavish restaurants.
    16. She has a large collection of scrunchies.
    17. If given the money, she would buy every dress she saw in the windows of the store.
    18. She’s pretty good at singing.

    Gordie and Melony

    I'm doing the requests slowly but surely!

    Gordie
    1. He calls the other Rock type trainers nerds for being obsessed with rocks despite being obsessed with rocks himself.
    2. Surprisingly, he’s pretty gentlemanly and respectful, especially around elders and fans.
    3. He knows he has a lot of influence on the public, so he does his best to use his power for good.
    4. At the same time, he knows he can use his powers to make terribly cursed images and send them to Leon at three in the morning.
    5. Someone tell him to stop posting Dragon Net videos at four in the morning. He needs sleep.
    6. He’s a skateboard pro.
    7. He gained his confidence after watching a lot of action movies… somehow. He doesn’t really know how watching action movies specifically made him confident; just roll with it.
    8. When he was a kid, he would go with his dad to the movies every weekend.
    9. Watching horror movies also makes him feel cool, because “hey, I’m not scared. I’m cool.”
    10. He is very good at driving, despite the fact that he doesn't own a car. He’s even driven buses for little kids.
    11. He performed in his high school’s musicals back when he was in high school. He has major respect for theatre people.
    12. He’s still in college. He doesn’t know what he’s majoring in because all of those career quizzes suck.
    13. He likes to dress fancy.
    14. Those sunglasses are prescription sunglasses. When he isn’t wearing them, he wears contacts.
    15. He really likes literature because sometimes, funky stuff happens in literature.
    16. Sometimes he just walks into his stadium and yells very loud.
    17. He, Piers, Raihan, and Leon sometimes put on disguises and go out onto football fields and do epic gamer stunts.
    18. He makes Minecraft (or whatever the Pokémon world of Minecraft is) parody songs. He took music theory/songwriting classes in school, and he uses this power to pester Piers.
    19. He’s a former choir kid.
    20. Also, he’s a football player.

    Melony
    1. She’s every League member’s mom friend.
    2. She’s literally so, so supportive of the Galar Gym Leaders. We don’t deserve her.
    3. Scratch that, she’s supportive of everyone.
    4. She’s trying to bond more with her eldest son (especially after the passing of his father), so she texts the other Rock type trainers for advice on her to “bond with a Rock type yuppie”. The only problem? Time zones.
    5. She has no concept of time zones herself. It could literally be three in the morning and she’ll happily listen to your text messages about literally anything.
    6. She takes care of Snoms. So many Snoms.
    7. Sometimes, she models winter clothes.
    8. She gets annoyed every time Gordie goes out in Chichester wearing shorts because YOU NEED TO BUNDLE UP—
    9. She has a small collection of wooden figures that she’s collected over the years.
    10. She gets very competitive with battling, board games, etc. Be warned.
    11. She loves coffee, tea, and hot chocolate equally.
    12. She loves giving hugs.
    13. Guilty pleasure? Soap operas.
    14. Also game shows.
    15. She does not stand for profanities.
    16. She loves family game nights, whether those games are board games or video games.
    17. She really likes cartoons.
    18. She likes soft, fluffy things.
    19. She tells Gordie about bands and songs that she listened to when she was younger. He loves everything she recommends him.
    20. She majored in Sociology for a reason not even she remembers.
     
    • Melony's kids' names
    • Also I'm going to just name Melony's other kids here. I'll have to retcon this if the anime or manga names 'em, but that hasn't happened yet.

    Eldest daughter - Sigrid
    Three sons (triplets) - Niklas, Oliver, Walter

    Yes I chose these names so they would spell snow

    I know I'm being really slow with headcanons and I'm so sorry for that. I've just been really stressed the past two months. Well, at least I just have to do Tierno now.

    Archie
    1. He does community service to make for that one time he almost flooded the world. Said community service includes battling with young trainers in the Battle Maison, cleaning up parks, and assisting at the local theaters.
    2. What if he… got on the good side of every Water type trainer… and pulled an Ocean’s Eleven (1960)? That would be silly, wouldn’t it? He really wants to do it.
    3. Luckily, the opinions of the Water type trainers when it comes to Archie range anywhere from “come on guys; he’s not that bad” to “guys, he woke up Kyogre and almost flooded Hoenn and the world”
    4. He legally changed his last name to “of the Ocean”.
    5. He thinks the color red is overrated.
    6. Do you wanna hear his essay on how the ocean is a metaphor for X?
    7. He was in a garage band as a boy.
    8. He had no friends in elementary school but got some by the end of middle school.
    9. He swears in front of children with no regrets.
    10. He is good at science but bad at long term planning.
    11. He and Crasher Wake dated for, like, thirteen hours for kicks.
    12. He loves Poochyenas. They’re one of the only acceptable non Water type Pokémon, in his opinion.
    13. He doesn’t like sand. It’s coarse. And rough. And irritating. And it gets everywhere.
    14. Not like the ocean. There, everything is soft and smooth.
    15. He likes tough and cute Pokémon.
    16. His guilty pleasure is rock (think the Archies lol).
    17. He swims in the ocean everyday to “ride through Poseidon’s domain” and also to get ripped.
    18. He’s r/notlikeotherpokemonbodybuilders; he doesn’t drink ungodly amounts of protein shakes.
    19. Ice types can stay but they’re on thin ice.
    20. Rocks are fine, especially if they’re from the sea.
     
    • Tierno 20 headcanons

    Tierno

    Tierno
    1. He has two older brothers, who both play rugby.
    2. His older brothers sort of bully him for his love of dance, but Tierno shrugs it off.
    3. He loves his parents, and they’re somewhat supportive of his passion for dance.
    4. He’s up to date on all the dance crazes.
    5. He’s studied dance extensively. Every kind of dance.
    6. He’s also good at gymnastics.
    7. He’s in his school band, playing the clarinet.
    8. He’s also on the speech and debate team and in the book club.
    9. When it comes to battles, he focuses more on choreo over power. His reasoning is that if the moves are executed correctly, then his Pokémon can dodge attacks and land their own perfectly.
    10. “Contests? Basically Performances but anyone can enter regardless of gender? WHERE CAN I SIGN UP???”
    11. I’m gonna pull a… (*reads list of relevant pop culture references that’s probably out of date*) Game of Thrones? And subvert your expectations by saying that Tierno can’t sing (he’s okay, but he’s not great). He can, however, dance and act, so… double threat?
    12. He’s the only one in the Kalos Gang (Calem, Serena, Shauna, Tierno, Trevor) that doesn’t drink coffee.
    13. He loves listening to Johto Pop and baroque pop.
    14. Dancing to music with compound time signatures? Let’s go!
    15. He also takes photos. He knows the basics of composition.
    16. He tries to be polite, but he also loves making fun of rich people.
    17. He’s scared of bugs.
    18. He knows a lot about Pokémon moves.
    19. He likes appeasing old people with, I don’t know, “hip and trendy dances the young’uns like,” as said old people would say.
    20. He doesn’t get sad easily.
     
    • Gladion 20 headcanons
    • Gladion
    1. He goes to whatever the Pokémon world’s equivalent of Comic Con/anime cons is.
    2. He uses his sewing skills to make Pokédolls for Lillie.
    3. As a kid, he would play with dolls with Lillie to make her happy.
    4. He might lowkey collect designer dolls because of that.
    5. He likes bass heavy electronic music and rock.
    6. He also jams to modern musicals, especially rock musicals.
    7. His room is very messy and he doesn’t care.
    8. He sees crying as a sign of weakness.
    9. He cries, but only in front of his Pokémon.
    10. He took piano lessons when he was little. He was really good at it, but he didn’t like any of the music he had to play so he quit…
    11. ...but then he got a keyboard and gained unimaginable powers.
    12. He knows Kalosian, Galarian, Kantonian, and Alolan.
    13. He’s actually pretty smart and knows a lot about a lot of different subjects.
    14. He might not ever grow out of his emo phase, but he does regret reposting fake deep Dragon Net pictures on his main when he was younger.
    15. He’s touch starved and just wants a hug.
    16. He was a Calvin and the Patrats superfan as a kid and wants no one to know this, because that would ruin his image.
    17. Everyone knows he was a Calvin and the Patrats fan, though, and no one cares but would he please stop staying at PokéDenny’s after closing—
    18. He’ll sit at the table in the corners of his local PokéDenny’s like the theatre trash he is. Sometimes, he’ll bring Hau, Elio, Selene, and Lillie along. They don’t understand why the manager is yelling at them to leave.
    19. Underneath the layers of edge, he’s a triple threat. Beware.
    20. He’s really good at old arcade games.
     
    • Nurse Joys
    • While there are doctors in the Pokémon world that specialize in human care, Nurse Joys/Pokémon Center Nurses are required to take a course on human healthcare (after all, sometimes it's not just the Pokémon that are injured, but also the trainers). Lessons include, but are not limited to:

    • Treating injuries, both relating to Pokémon (burns, poisoning, electric attacks, etc.), and unrelated (scrapes and broken bones from falling)
    • Crisis intervention and conflict resolution
    • Basic first aid (stuff like CPR)
     
    • Hoenn stone symbolism (Steven is running over ASAP)
    • more than a torchic said:
    It's common in Sootopolis City for couples to exchange Heart Scales as a symbol of their love. Some even go to special jewelers to get them made into beautiful necklaces.
    Gemstones also play a part in Sootopolitan culture.
    Rubies symbolize the land and sun and represent Groudon. Many farmers' most important tools are decorated with them.
    Sapphires symbolize the sea and rain and represent Kyogre. Sailors often wear jewelry with them to pray for calm, easy travels.
    Emeralds symbolize the sky and peace and represent Rayquaza. Emissaries often keep emerald trinkets on hand during diplomatic missions.
    Pearls are associated with wealth, love (more specifically in the eros sense), and beauty. Occasionally, they're also associated with the mythical Pokémon Jirachi, so they also represent the stars and good luck.
    Click to expand...
    Adding on to a previous post about gemstones in Sootopolitan culture, in general Hoennese culture, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds also represent, respectively, Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza (kind of). Some differences in Hoennese gem symbolism:

    • Pearls are also seen as symbols of wealth and beauty, though unlike in Sootopolitan culture, they aren't necessarily associated with erotic love.
    • Jade symbolizes Rayquaza more commonly than emeralds. Because of this, jade is the "peace and sky" gemstone and is, in modern times, associated with the Hoenn Peace and Love movement. Emeralds, on the other hand, is associated with natural beauty.
    • Rubies symbolize wealth, while sapphires represent prosperity. Both are used in decorating agricultural tools, though sailors more often carry around Blue Shards for good luck.
    • Sometimes, Aquamarine will be added to the trio of gemstones (ruby, sapphire, and emerald) as a birthstone for winter months (ruby - summer, sapphire - autumn, emerald - spring)
    • Jirachi is usually associated with star stones rather than pearls.
