The All-Purpose PokéMeme!
THE ALL PURPOSE POKéMEME
We've had plenty of memes about our characters in the past, so why not something a little different? After all, Pokémon is a huge part of what makes Route so special.
Feel free to use this meme to:
- Talk about your characters' teams!
- Plot for Pokémon CR
- Discuss any headcanon you have about certain species or Pokémon in general
- Discuss ideas for Pokémon related shenanigans
- Take suggestions if you're struggling with a Pokémon's personality, what Pokémon to get your character, or anything else!
The sky's the limit, folks, so have at it!

Yang the Absol is a very serious, no-nonsense kind of guy who can be occasionally talked into playing a few harmless games with the other Pokemon. He's the reason Reid's roster has leveled-up so much, because he is constantly feeling disaster radiate from his trainer and thus turns into a massive drill sergeant.
Flora the Munna while not being that young by Munna standards, still acts like a baby sometimes because she likes attention and will cling to Reid or Mio like static. She's a sweet girl who snacks on her Trainer's bad dreams sometimes, but she's been completely spoiled.
Nathan the Lampent is pretty mischievous and messes around, but he never means any harm, and he usually listens to Missy and Reid pretty well. At the moment, he's got a massive ego from evolving, and he wants to become a Chandelure soon so he can lord the fact he's fully evolved over everyone.
Missy the Misdreavus is a trouble-maker and tends to be more dominating than Nathan--and tends to be a touch more mean-spirited than Nathan, too, with a sense of humor based around Schadenfreude--but she listens very well to Reid after hearing that she was named after a girl Reid saved from being murdered. She has a lot of respect for her Trainer, and is thus, along with Yang and Elle, one of the primary Pokemon who will work to snap anyone in the roster in line if they're making Reid's life harder.
Elle the Vulpix is a spirited girl who fought tooth and nail to keep from being caught because of how fiercely independent she is. Reid insisted on doing it, though, since he found her with a badly twisted paw that would have led to her death in the wilderness, and so when he finally caught her, he just brought her to the PokeCenter and then tried to let her go. She recognized his benevolence by then, so she decided that to reward him, she would fight against anyone who dared challenge him in battle. Of course, she made this clear by following him home and nipping his ankles if he tried to make her go back to the forest.
Amanda the Yamask IS SO MUCH FUN TO PLAY GUYS YOU HAVE NO IDEA. She is the soul of a rebellious teenager who was out alone in the woods and slipped on leaves, leading to her hitting her head on a rock, leading to a fractured skull and intracranial hemorrhage. She could have been saved, but her parents assumed that she was just out being crazy again (they ignored her antics completely, figuring correctly that they were things she did for attention), and no one looked for her until she was nearly dead. The last thing she remembers from life is being wheeled into the Center and seeing Nurse Joy take one look at her, shake her head, and move onto another patient. Thus, she hates hospitals and doesn't like Nurse Joy one bit.
She was basically moping around and drifting across Johto aimlessly when the Halloween event happened and a Haunter stole her mask, slapping it onto some random dude who turned out to be Reid. Amanda, not knowing she wasn't in her own body, ended up giving Reid a cigarette burn, bronchitis, and a tattoo he's still too embarrassed to reveal to anyone. And she developed a lasting animosity with Albert, because Albert's an asshole. After she became a Yamask again and realized what she had done, she felt extremely guilty and was desperate to make it up to Reid somehow, since despite being unpleasant and downright mean, she's never set out to seriously hurt anyone but herself. He put her in a ball while he tried to figure out what happened, and she realized that this was the first time since before she died that she felt like she had some kind of purpose. Now she refuses to leave Reid's roster, saying that she's just there to make things up to him when they both know that she just really needs someone while she copes with her own death. Slowly, the rest of the roster (sans Ellie, Sarah Jean, and Riley, who have no problems with her) has started warming up to her, but she and Elle still have issues that they occasionally work out by tussling outside.
Sarah Jean the Lapras is a kind, motherly creature who is the only one who can reliably get Reid asleep with her song. She's quiet and yearns for babies of her own, but she contents herself with being the one other Pokemon go to with their problems, despite the fact she's one of the youngest in the roster. She has absolutely no problem with people climbing all over her, and is slowly teaching Reid the art of sleeping on her shell.
Riley the Dratini is a sweet little kid who just wants snuggles and fun. And he's learning bad habits from Nathan and Missy, who want him to be a prankster. He's young and likes to wrap himself around people's necks because they're warm, and due to physics lessons from Reid, he's learned how to turn himself into a rocket noodle. ROCKET NOODLE.
And the first thing Ellie the Eevee did upon hatching was tackle Nathan and start trying to pin him, despite the fact he was dozens of levels higher and burned her to the touch. Even after being smacked around for it, she continually tackled him. Thus she's considered the bull-headed doofus of the family and Reid has to keep her from attacking things unnecessarily. She likes to strut around and brag about how powerful she is, but she's really not all that strong yet. She's still a baby Eevee.
So there you have it! I'd like to do something with any one of them, especially Amanda. Any ideas?
no subject
She may relive the experience vicariously through him.
I am just warning you.
no subject
Also, I'd like to have more shenanigans between Albert and Amanda, since I loved their threads when she possessed Reid and she's childish as hell and wants to annoy the hell out of him somehow.
no subject
And I would be more than happy to engage in these Double-A shenanigans! Because Albert is always good for crankiness and Amanda is not allowed in his house. B|
no subject
Then Amanda's totally sneaking in the house. And moving shit around like a child before scooting away so Albert can't prove she's the one doing it.
no subject
HE SWEARS SOMETIMES HE IS THE ONLY THING HOLDING THIS TEAM TOGETHER AND IT IS BY THE SKIN OF HIS TEETH IN PLACES.
Also, Ellie the Eevee and Gandhina sound like they would get along fantastically, considering their penchant for stupidly tackling things and generally being vastly underleveled in comparison to the things they are attacking.
...If that's what Amanda's up to, she might find herself embroiled in a cold war with Scrappy and Sweep the OCD fluffymice because what the hell that is not where that belongs. I sense amazing possibilities from this.
no subject
He blames his mun.
Ellie and Gandhina should totally get together and tackle ridiculously over-leveled things. And Ellie will probably end up chewing on Gandhina's ears sometimes, because she's still itty and she's teething a little.
Yes. Yes, that should happen. The dead girl versus the fluffymice. WHO WILL WIN.
no subject
Sob, and Gandhina's pacifist principles will force her to turn the other cheek. Ear. Thing. Le sigh.
SPOILERS: NOT ALBERT.
Also unrelated to the Pokememe, but would you be up for some Christmas things in the weeks to come? I am slowly formulating lists of possible shenanigans to deploy and taking a headcount for interest.
no subject
Ellie insists that her ear chewing is ear chewing of love. Can you be mad about the ear chewing of love, Gandhina?
Oooh, that sounds like fun! Maybe Reid can play music for a Christmas party or Christmas dinner or something, since I totally forgot about getting him to play the piano during Thanksgiving (my bad!). And I'm also trying to think of gifts he would give, because he's the kind to awkwardly present gifts and then scoot away because he's embarrassed, and I think it'd be fun to play. Also, he feels sad he's away from the BAU, so he's more inclined to spoil his new friends.
no subject
NO BUT BE GENTLE OKAY. Those are her favorite ears. Also the only ones she has.
At the moment it's pretty much universally agreed there will be a Christmas party at the Justice Farm if only because apparently we are going to try to outdo the ridiculous of Thanksgiving. There has been talk of, among other things, caroling, tree-fetching shenanigans, presents, and a lot of ridiculous mistletoe encounters.
no subject
What if Ellie promises that there will be no blood? :3
Oh God.
Mistletoe.
Missy and Nate will team up with whoever else is up to no good and dangle mistletoe over anyone and everyone. And will recruit Ellie and others to harass and nip anyone who dares try to ignore the mistletoe tradition.
EVERYONE WILL BE EMBARRASSED BY THE END OF THE NIGHT SO HELP THEM GOD
Meanwhile, Reid facepalms at his Pokemon and tries to quietly sweep them elsewhere.
no subject
BUT EARS THO, ELLIE
Oh you better believe that I fully intend the mistletoe to be a gratuitous and thinly-veiled excuse to have as many people smooch as many people as possible. I HAVE NO SHAME AND IT IS CHRISTMAS. KISSES FOR EVERYONE.
Bonus points for the fact that I think Harry is going to be the Designated Mistletoe Policer and if you get caught beneath the mistletoe, god help you, you are going to kiss or HARRY WILL BE ON YOUR BUTT ABOUT IT FOREVER. So the Pokemon will have plenty of backup in that. o/
no subject
Aw c'mon Gandhina you have two 8c
I'm making it a personal goal to make Reid kiss everyone ever, because I'm a terrible mun that way and he's so much fun when he's flustered and wishing the world would swallow him. Therefore, Missy will probably be following him around wih mistletoe when he's distracted. And Amanda may secretly han the stuff in strategic places to make sure Albert has to suffer humiliation too, because once again, she's a bitch.
Harry and Reid's Pokemon will get along well. And Reid is simply '>.<' through all this. GDI GUYZ. HE'S NOT A GRATUITOUS KISSER. Also, if he ends up kissing Carmen and/or Albert, he is hiding. FOREVER.
no subject
(And rest assured you are not alone in the goal of "make everyone kiss everyone ever". I think we need to hand out Thread Bingo Cards and have people go around checking off their makeouts as they go just to make sure we haven't missed any combinations.)
But yes, in the days to come there will probably be a fair amount of ridiculously stereotypical Holiday Shenanigans around the Farm and I may or may not drift Carmen your way separately for More Srs Talks because she has stuff on her mind and is gravitating toward people to talk to about it anyway, and nothing but magic happens when they talk to each other anyway so GIVE ME ALL THE CR basically.
Son you are in danger people taught Carmen Sandiego how to kiss and now no one is safe. Least of all you. Prepare thyself.
no subject
Reid's Pokemon may just do the same thing ICly.
It will be their Christmas entertainment.)
Oh, that's perfect, because Reid is really great for talking to and getting emotional support from. He's quiet and wouldn't make her say more than she wanted to. So yes, Carmen can feel free to talk to him in between Christmas shenanigans.
Teach Reid about this kissing, Carmen, because his experience is limited. And afterwards, he'll be all disoriented and wonder if he should be apologizing profusely to Cooper.
no subject
HE SPOTS THE TREND AND CAPITALIZES ON IT YESSSSSSSS.)
Would he be up for a conversation of some variety that eventually led to discussion of his bracelet? Not in the probing sense of why he wears it or anything, but more along the lines of guessing what it is, where he got it, and so on.
...Also she might ask him to play a game of chess with her for the sake of sentimentality. WE SHALL SEE.
She occasionally takes time out to reflect on her twenty-eight wasted years of not kissing people because it turns out that kissing people is in fact a damn lot of fun and she should really do it more often. Moo hoo ha ha ha.
no subject
THEY WILL ROPE OTHER PEOPLE'S POKEMON INTO IT)
He'd be more than up for it. He might even turn it into a game, since he knows how much she likes games. He gives her one hint and some number of yes or no questions, and then she has to guess.
And on Christmas Eve some time before the party, he'll probably ask for a hint for where she is, then come find her. A pre-Christmas present, if you will. And then they can play chess.
...Reid somehow gets the sense that he will be involved in this in the near future.
