a grand duchess and her grand duke <3

(lynn buckham study)

So it's been a while since I posted, but I got deep into the Pokemon fandom again and the train twins have now taken over! I just had to design some Pokemon forms for Emmet and Ingo!!

I know some people aren't as into stats and abilities, but I really wanted to sit down and hash out their strategies and movesets. They're subway masters AND ridiculously strong and skilled trainers, so I wanted to make sure that their Pokemon forms also reflected that! So if you're into that (or learning how Hisui changed their partnership) it'll be under the Read More below!

Let me know if y'all want to see more of these guys! I have even written their Pokedex entries and figured out their habits and natures! (Also, just because I thought it was funny, now Ingo is the one who's weak to Earthquake)

Ok, so the first thing I determined were general specialties! Ingo, despite his intimidating appearance and his fighting typing, is actually a better special attacker. I imagine that the twins play up the perception that other people have for them: Ingo is indimidating and Emmet is friendly, so Ingo is actually a sneaky special attacker and Emmet is a surprise physical attacker!

Their base stats reflect this, and I put their total around evolved starter range to make sure they're viable for competitive battling. As for typing, it was mostly based on various Pokemon they have on their teams, but I kinda wanted to make them partially types suited more to their counterpart, so Electric for Ingo and Steel(?) for Emmet? It's not perfect, but I HAD to make sure Ingo shared a typing with Lady Sneasler so they can be friends in Hisui. And Emmet is a Bug type because Emmet.

I agonized over their movesets and abilities for a long time, but I really wanted to show that they are a Duo, Please Do Not Seperate. So their moves and abilities help to cover each other in a double battle! Ingo has the absolute beast of a move Boomburst (both because he's loud and because it's a 140 base special attack with no downsides) so he's got Brick Break to make sure that there's no screens or shields blocking his big finishing move. Workup helps with all of his moves and since it boosts physical and special, it works to hide his little-known special attack specialty until it's too late.

I had fun with Emmet's moveset! Not only does he have Reflect to help cover his beloved brother's weaknesses, but in the case they're fighting a singles battle he's got U-Turn to effortlessly switch into his brother's big finisher move. I waffled between Reflect and another move that would reduce special defence (set up even better for Ingo's finishing move), but ultimately decided I liked Emmet shielding his big brother better.

I also want you to know that for his move Attack Order, Emmet literally commands a small battalion of Joltiks who like to hide in his coat. Verrry cute.

Of course, the codependency doesn't stop at their moves! Ingo's ability literally reduces the damage that Emmet takes when they battle together, and Emmet's Volt Absorb ability means that Ingo can always heal up his little brother if the Joltiks don't heal him first.

And now we get to the sad part. During their separation, both of them change, as now they no longer have each other to rely on in battle. Ingo changes out his Brick Break for an Aura Sphere, as when fighting solo (and sometimes multiple opponents) he doesn't have time for a lot of setup and is best on relying on his special attacking rather than trying to play the long game. His ability also changes to Defiant, to reflect his heightened need for fighting and his determination to find what he knows is missing (YES I know technically abilities can't really change but THEY'RE SPECIAL OK and it was sadder this way).

And oh boy, while Emmet can pretend he's fine as much as he wants, his changes truly show how much Ingo's loss devastated him. There's no-one left to switch with, so he trades his U-Turn for a more aggressive Lunge instead. And even worse, his new ability, Anger Point, will boost his attack once he hits half health. Which means that now he will try to get hurt and stay hurt, since now his brother can no longer heal him :(

Sorry for so much rambling, but I got suuuuper into designing these guys! The actual designs are alright, but I still think they need to be more distinctive somehow. Might go back and tweak it a bit later, but I'm happy with it for now. Why are they weird kangaroo things with hooves? Idk, but they look cool and that's what really matters~

i just read the new chapter ,, YESSS GIRL BOSS Y/N ,, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE HER FUCK HER MOM OVER ,, but please it's so painful towards the end ,, y/n and satoru just can't be together and it's confusing y/n so much ,, one moment he's pulling her in the other moment he's pushing y/n away ,, ms girl y/n gonna have too much of trust issue and becus of that she might just really be the most heartless businesswoman . im really really scared for y/n now , every steps she take is pain to her ,, gohoe just subtly opposed her abortion and fuck her then tell her that he's engaged :")) ofc y/n is gonna abort the baby ,, at the end of the day ,, gohoe might be y/n's biggest downfall (not in fortune wise but in her character)

amazing job as always suki ,, you really know how to tug at ppl's heart string :")

p.s co-chick 🐥anon how have u been ? hope you are doing well ! i would love to have a harsh town feast with y'all <3

i have yet to read the updated chapter but hey i hope you are feeling better <3

thank you baby chick anon, i am feeling better now! girl boss y/n yes me loves!!! i love how she works so well as an executive, like she really embodied it 😭 not only was she born for it but she’s been preparing for it for years aaaaaa. “most heartless businesswoman” huh? did you guys notice she’s already stiff to her assistants? because 👀 i agree with you, whichever direction y/n takes, people will always be out to get her because everyone is giving like a big fat no to her and she’s actively opposing it (why can’t people be nicer to her 😭) and as for gohoe he is so not helping, the trust issues are real and its only a matter of time before y/n decides enough is enough ( •᷄ - •᷅ ) and ah thank you so much, i hope we have a hash brown feast too! as for co-chick anon, beep boop hello!
