hey, yes of course i am happy to explain!!

Crystal

• espurr - has a ton of psychic power they cant control, i feel like crystal would relate to, with her discovering her powers are more complicated than she thought
• espeon - suggested by a couple of people on twitter!! espeons give off a mysterious and standoff-ish vibe thats similar to crystal
• she was also the first one I drew and posted so she only has two pokemon Q_Q i want to give her more

Niko

• shiinotic - i imagine niko found one of these bad boys while in the woods where she ran into the sprites. she’s also got a mushroom themed green outfit in the time loop ep.
• togetic - evolved from a togepi from high friendship, and i think friendship is what niko is all about. she has so much love to give! it feels fitting for her to have a friendship based pokemon!
• whimsicott - they are mischievous prank loving annoying as hell pests of a pokemon (per their pokedex entries). i like them as representative of the sprites. someone said jumpluff instead but i disagree because jumpluffs aren’t considered pests. i think edwin, charles, and crystal hate her whimsicott but niko loves to snuggle her <3

Charles

• toxtricity - amped form cause that one gets natures similar to charles (If i had more time i would even map out the pokemon natures, abilities, and move sets they would each have. i played comp pokemon…) toxtricity is also music themed, and has know anger issues, so i think charles would relate to that
• scraggy - scrappy little fighter!! also punk-ish. a little guy who gets bullied but will put up a fight. i think charles would love him and want to protect him.
• hitmontop - little fighting dude. i like that hitmontop has steadfast ability (incr. speed after flinch), cause i interpret it as getting back up to keep on fighting and protecting those you love, even after getting your ass beat, which is how charles operates.

Edwin

• rowlet - on god, this is purely cause of the bowtie. also i think rowlet would keep edwin company while he reads his books very late into the night.
• mimikyu - a lonely pokemon who just wanted to be loved. HMMMM. edwin felt its pain and adopted it into his family.
• sirfetch’d - suggested by some people on twitter, cause of the actor being a fencer. but also i think edwin would have a pokemon that would protect him, before he met charles.
• polteageist - hes a fancy british boy. i know his ass drinks tea with the pinky out. i think he rescued the polteageist during one of their cases.

i appreciate the concern!! and this sounds a bit silly or even flippant of me to say, but my art is not distinct, unique, or aesthetic enough to make AI profiteers any money or be of any use. I’m NOT being self-deprecating, its just the truth. (i’m very happy with my art, no matter how generic it looks)

i would be more worried for people whose main income is their art, than someone like me! but ty for letting me know!!

(also i take photos of my WIPs to post on insta stories, and if they are training AI on photos of drawings, that would, if anything, fuck up their machine learning lol)

oh gosh thank you so much!! so glad to see another d20 and DBD fan out there as well!!

i know my art style is wildly inconsistent cause sometimes i do lineart, and other times i dont, so they look like theyre drawn by two different people LMFAO
