It will never stop being funny to me that. Like. This Pokemon?

The fact that this Pokemon can be male made people so insecure that they wound up creating a Boys Only counterpart who's all cool and masculine coded.

And. Like. The original can still be male. There are plenty of male Gardevoirs out there. But Gallade? NO GIRLS ALLOWED in our cool Boy Pokemon for boys that don't want to wear dresses!

You can feel the overreaction in every fiber of this design.

Then, years later, Scarlet/Violet was like, "Hey, we're doing LGBT stuff now because we're hip with the L's and G's and B's and especially those darling T's, of which we have two flavors in our major Trainers!"

And they looked at this situation and went, "I see you, and I raise you an enby Pokemon that incorporates elements from both designs and isn't allowed to have any genders at all."

What an absolute flex. XD

They finally released official artwork for Iron Valiant, fucking sick as hell Pokemon, so glad we finally got an answer to “how to become so non-binary it kills people”

familiar..

weird iron valiant with weird proportions i like

🟪 Paradise 🐢🐍 The shading and the environment light of this piece is so hard to depict. Still thinking this could be better but that's all I've got now I guess. At least just looking at it I'm satisfied. 😇 That's probably the paradise the professor was looking into and embracing at his last living moment. I hope I convey the feels- beautiful yet cruel. Could the time machine itself be a part of Terapagos? The Paldea region looks like Terapagos, so if the whole region is Terapagos itself, the time machine(Area Zero) just located right on its back crown where maybe its power pours out of, bringing Paradox Pokemons to life. It's a concept that I draw this illustration for.

Plz tell me it's not only me when seeing the time machine up there operating, I feel deeply stunned and emotionally respect from the bottom of my heart. Because I know that magnificent great machine is invented by the man/woman who had worked hard their whole life just to fulfill the dream. 😢
