5. Favorite Legendary
Look, not to be a genwunner, but up until Sword/Shield, Mewtwo was the only Legendary that felt... I dunno, special? Like it was more than just "a really strong and rare Pokemon". It was a weapon of mass destruction that you had to work your ass off for.
2. Favorite Starter
This little fella was the #1 reason I was looking forward to Sun and Moon so much.
Quite literally, the real Pokemon Sun and Moon was the friends we made along the way.
1. Favorite Pokemon
Doing this one preemptively because I will be surprised, GENUINELY SHOCKED, if any of my followers don't already know the answer.
6. Tsurugi Diablo. One of the OGs! The protagonist of Demon Blade, my old webcomic that I'm... very slowly chipping away at. He's pretty much a fusion of Inuyasha and Zorro.
5. Mars. I wouldn't be surprised if I subconsciously had a bit of H'aanit from Octopath Traveler in there AND I DON'T THINK I NEED TO EXPLAIN WHY AT THIS POINT.
I very consciously based her hair on Miyabi from Senran Kagura though because yes.
Please.
4. Kikimora. Mostly based on the Slavic folk creature of the same name, but there's also a bit of Metallia from the Witch and the Hundred Knight in there. Some visual inspiration was taken from Rose Cadot from the Rance series.
3. Dr. Suno Takamaru. Wow this is an old one!!
Uhhhh I didn't take much of him from existing characters, but I was thinking of Professor Tomoe from Sailor Moon when I was coming up with visuals, and personality-wise I threw in just a splash of Faust from the Guilty Gear series.
