[vr/m!ik] finally, after a million years of not doing it, starts working on an app for Elizabetta

i think i was going to go with vulpix and vullaby for her two starters, but i'm looking over everything again just to double check on that choice

and i'm amused at seeing which ones are cut off for being "too cute"

the dimitri in the back of my head: they are ALL cute and team rocket is just weak and will not survive the winter

hes right tho

alternatives to the Vulpix.... Fomantis, Bounsweet, Oddish, Ralts, Hatenna, Snom, Snorunt, Alolan Vulpix, Cutiefly, Mawile, Salandit, Spritzee, Snubbull.......

so many good ones

what to go with this wonderful girl

I vote Mawile. I don't know the character but she gives off kind of a Mawile vibe

she's a succubus in training who sucks at booksmarts, but excels at being the hottest girl around and is also, like, over six feet tall

her family's magic is emitting a scent that makes people naturally inclined to her and want to earn her favor/make her happy, but she's such a generally emotionally intelligent and genuinely likeable that she's popular for that alone

(also she's six feet tall and pretty)

her goal in VR is going to be aggressively sending cute pokemon to Team Rocket because the "no cuties allowed" rule is terrible and she is protesting it

cute can also be terrifying! have you never been in the demon world! everything wants to kill you, especially if it's cute!

haha that's awesome

so I see why Spritzee would be appropriate

i really did like spritzee for her

some of the pokemon i went with because they know "Attract" or "Sweet Scent" lmao

or Aromatherapy?

that seems like another good one

anyway, read "Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun" aka "Mairimashita, Iruma-kun", aka "there's some strong queer vibes in here for being a comedy shonen?????"

(also it's just a god damn delight in all sorts of ways)

anyway, really all that's left now is to make starter decisions, and get some more TDM samples because I think my brain broke the last time I tried lmao

Team Rocket is week for rejecting cute pokemon

the team rocket starters could be:
Vullaby, Vulpix, Salandit

so that leaves as the alt other starter:
Fomantis, Bounsweet, Oddish, Ralts, Hatenna, Snom, Snorunt, Alolan Vulpix, Cutiefly, Mawile, Spritzee, Snubbul

yes i'm still trying to figure this out
