Sooo... I did a thing. Here's the list of Pokémon I think would fit the td reboot cast. Choices are based on either esthetic, personality, certain characteristics or a mix of everything. I'm planning on doing the other casts as well, btw.
Axel: Scizor - I thought about an "axe" Pokémon, and the only thing that came to mind was Kleavor, but since I didn't want to give her a Pokémon from 200 years ago (no, I don't count the fact that you can have it on SV), I thought about the closest thing to it, and that was Scizor, which is still pretty fitting, if you ask me.
Bowie: Meowscarada - I decided to have Bowie and Priya foil each other. I haven't played SV, but from the Pokédex entries I've read, it seems like Meowscarada uses deceit to hit it's enemies. Plus, I think Dark type fits Bowie pretty well, and it also has his color palette (green and purple, though in reverse quantity).
Caleb: Dragonair - At first I wanted to go for a pink Pokémon since it's his main color, but I already headcanoned Milotic with Alejandro, so I went with the next closest thing. Plus, if in season 2 his own description ends up being true (strong and kind) Dragonite could be pretty fitting too.
Chase: Impidimp - A reddish little trickster gremlin who likes to cause chaos. I don't think I need to explain more.
Damien: Kecleon - Decided to go with his "biology nerd" side. A Kecleon seems like a species he would be really interested in, while also being a not-too-strong Pokémon.
Emma: Morpeko - I couldn't help thinking about the "Bad Emma" during the pole challenge. Plus, an overall cute Pokémon who gets angry because of a specific reason seems pretty on point.
Julia: Zweilous - Two-faced Dark type Pokémon, violent and strong. The colors are actually the opposite of hers (white, yellow and light blue vs black, blue and red). She probably wouldn't use it too often, but it does fit.
Millie: Gothita - I started thinking Psychic types would fit her well, so I started looking into it, and Gothita's Dex description is funnily on point. Observes other Pokémon and Humans to watch things only it seems to see (self-explanatory), and it apparently talks alone (which could represente her notebook).
MK: Nickit - Didn't know whether to go with the technology side or the thieving side, but in the end I chose the more obvious one.
Nichelle: Mime Jr. - A pink little Fairy, who becomes a full fledged performer (both as Mr. Mime and Mr. Rime), is the closest thing to an actor I could think about for her.
Priya: Quaquaval - Foiling Bowie, a Fighting type fitting of her, with her same blue palette and oriental elements in the design. Meowscarada and Quaquaval also have a weakness and a resistance to each other. Also a callback to when she acted as a bird to save Millie from the cassowary.
Raj: Alolan Vulpix - Ice type who become a Fairy type, the more trickster type (he was the one who came up with the idea to stop the raptor). Funnily enough both Ice and Fairy are super effective against Bowie's Meowscarada.
Ripper: Stunky - Do I really need to explain this? At some point he even does the same pose.
Scary Girl: Mimikyu - I could have gone with any Ghost type, but I thought about when Zee said she dressed like a doll, so I decided it was either Mimikyu or Banette.
Wayne: Alolan Sandshrew - Ice type who's also a Steel type, more strong willed and super effective against Raj's fairy (the leader and more competitive).
Zee: Slowpoke - I thought Water types fit Zee pretty well, and Slowpoke is probably the laxest and dumbest Pokémon I could have chosen. Psyduck was also an option at some point, but Golduck was too cool-looking for him.

Since Sylveon from Courtney (Prodject SNT) has trolled every pokemon, I decided to make my own roasts, starting with Kanto.
Bulbasaur: How does it feel to be the best Kanto starter strategically and yet also the least popular?
Ivysaur: If it wasn't for smash, most people would've forgotten that you exist.
Venusaur: Why do you have such an ugly backside?
Charmander: For the most popular starter, you'd think you would have a more consistent sprite.
Charmeleon: Pikachu being a mouse I get, but how are you a chameleon!?
Charizard: Their category should be changed to "The cash cow pokemon".
Squirtle: Remember when people thought you were part squirrel because of your name and tail?
Wartortle: Who are you again?
Blastoise: How do you grab anything with those stubby arms?
Caterpie: Hello, Wormy from Spongebob.
Metapod: 💤💤💤.
Butterfree: I prefer mine with butter, thank you very much.
Weedle: Well if it isn't the only pokemon who can't learn any normal type moves.
Kakuna: It's slightly more interesting than Metapod, but only slightly.
Beedrill: You look more like a hornet than a bee, so go away!
Pidgey: Baby's first birdie.
Pidgeotto: They clearly dye their head feathers to get that flawless red color.
Pidgeot: Why does the middle evolution have the longer name!?
Rattata: Youngster Joey is the only one who actually likes you.
Raticate: You do look a hairy potato with teeth.
Spearow: How does it feel to have the anime label you all as aggressive assholes?
Spearow: You have to be the worst shiny I ever catched!
Ekans: If it wasn't for team rocket, you'd only be known for your ridiculous name.
Arbok: Seviper is apparently their evolution, no wait, the anime is just full of lies.
Pickachu: They're basically Mickey mouse if he had electric powers.
Raichu: The anime just had to make every raichu an asshole to give Ash's pikachu an excuse to not want to evolve.
Sandshrew: You look more like an armadillo than a shrew.
Sandslash: Your Alolan form is a lot more interesting.(it's my opinion, don't attack me)
The entire nidoran line (both male and female): The fact that nidoran♀ is the only one who can breed with the entire nidoran♂ feels like an unintentional p*dofelic breeding fetish.
Clefairy: I personally think making pikachu the mascot instead was a good call.
Clefable: Remember, the clefairy line walked so elgyem and beheeyem could run.
Vulpix: I've got nothing, vulpix is the best Kanto pokemon.(again, it's my opinion, don't attack me)
Ninetales: Congratulations for having one of the least creative pokemon names.
Jigglypuff: How does it feel to only be known for being a brat in the anime?
Wigglytuff: It's gen one sprite was really something else, and not in a good way.
Zubat: The vermin of caves.
Golbat: How do you fly with that big mouth?
Oddish: "Insert 4/20 joke here"
Gloom: Its name speaks for itself.
Vileplume: I bet it smells as vile as its name suggests.
Paras: Can someone please remove those parasitic mushrooms from its back!?
Parasect: Too late, they've already taken over...
Venonat: The anime also lies about it not being a bug type.
Venomoth: You're only remembered because a dumb theory.
Diglett: Someone pointed out that their nose looks like a mouth with one tooth and now I can't unsee it.
Dugtrio: This evolution is almost as lazy as electrode.(I'm gonna get a lot of death threats with how much I'm bashing gen one)
Meowth: You're the Tom to Pikachu's Jerry.
Persian: Try not to get a big head, okay?
Psyduck: Do you need some ibuprofen?
Golduck: It's the "why isn't this a psychic type" pokemon.
Mankey: The manly monkey.
Primape: How does it learn iron tail without having a tail?(especially if the primape's female?)

Arcane: The rejected legendary.
Poliwag: Just a round boi.
Polywhirl: Congratulations, you can finally hold things.
Polywrath: Why are you so pissed, man?
Abra: The teleporting troll.
Kadabra: the fact that they used to be a human has very disturbing implications.
Alakazam: The perfect pokemon to eat icecream with.
Machop: Why does it have chest gills?
Machoke: It pisses me off that pokemon like delphox and meowscarada get demonized for being "too humanoid" when this fucker exist!
Machamp: Why does it look like it's wearing briefs?

Weepinbell: One of many gen one poison/grass types.
Victreebel: Remember, Victreebel walked so guzzlord could run.
Tentacool: Funny, you're actually not cool at all.
Tentacruel: That name makes more sense.
Geodude: I was gonna say "baby's first rock monster" but that joke has already been used twice.
Graveler: Why did you grow an extra set of arms, only to ditch them once you evolve!?
Golem: Why do you have a lizard face all of a sudden?
Ponyta: Imagine your kid wanting a horse for either their birthday or Christmas and the only option is one that would burn the house down.
Rapidash: You want me to ride on its back!? Yeah, I'll just take the bus.
Slowpoke: No thoughts, head empty.
Slowbro: I can't get over the fact that it's constantly being bitten.
Magnemite: This should've been a gen two pokemon so it could've been a steel type from the beginning.
Magnaton: It's Dugtrio all over again!
Farfetche'd: Was the apostrophe really necessary?
Doduo: "Cause you know two heads are better than one"
Dodrio: They're just a bird version of Cerberus.
Seel and Dewgong: And the award for the least creative pokemon names goes to...these losers!
Grimer: I heard this thing eats sewage.🤢
Muk: It has an unfortunate backwards name.
Shellder: Why is its tounge all ways out?
Cloyster: They knew what they were doing when they paired it with an onix.
Gastly: Our first ghost type was a ball of gas, really?
Hanter: There really isn't anything to roast with this pokemon.

Hitmonchan: It does look like it's wearing a dress.(and an ugly dress at that)
Lickitung: In Japan, this is the innuendo pokemon and not bellsprout.
Koffing and Weezing: It's been three years since the pandemic and I still don't think talking about them is tasteful.
Rhyhorn: Again, I'll take the bus.
Rhydon: The first ever pokemon.(created by the developers that is)
Chansey: Stop letting people eat your babies!
Tangela: The only pure grass type of gen one.
Kangaskhan: If the next region is based on Australia, then I hope we get a pokemon that actually looks like a kangaroo.
Horsea and Seadra: I can't roast seahorses.
Goldeen and Seaking: You're more of a collector's item than an actual pokemon.
Staryu and Starmie: Apparently, starfish come from outer space.
Mr.Mime: I read a dex entry about how it slaps people with its big hands and now all I can think of is that Will Smith meme but with Mr.Mime.
Syther: Or alakazam according to team rocket.
Jinx: Probably the most controversial pokemon in existence.

Pinser: I can't get over their sideways mouth.

Dagonair: I just remembered that there's a type of lo mein called dragon noodles, while it was probably unintentional, I still thought that was a clever pun.

Mew and Mewtwo: Why does Mewtwo come before Mew in the pokedex even though Mew came first?
I'm actually gonna do Paldea next , so I can get to the good roasts before Sylveon.
