Pokemon Ranger Sanctuary

[celebisanctuary]

Welcome!

Sup! My name is Cari, I'm 24 y/o currently living in Albeirin, originally from Oblivia. I'm running this account with my elder brother Izek and younger brother Victor.

I work as the current manager/owner of the Celebi Sanctuary as well as a retired pokemon ranger. My goal with blog this is to share how we interact with pokemon, both wild and domesticated, as well as show our personal journey's with our pokemon.

My most common team at the moment consists of Bon-Bon (teddiusa) and Fleur (ralts). However, I work with a lot of pokemon and the posts here will be our various experiences with them.

We will each be using a different tag to differentiate our posts, though Izek and Victor are less social than I am.

Cari = #Caris Field Guide

Victor = TBD

Izek = TBD

Character Bios (TBA)

OOC Under Cut (Please Read)

This blog will be SFW for the vast majority of it, although the mod is 18+. This blog will be run somewhere between a story based blog and a Pokemon IRL/Character Ask blog.

The way I will be tackling the pokemon aspects is based on real animals + my own headcanons about the pokemon world based on the various media.

An example of such is that Mammalian pokemon will have live births, instead of eggs. Egg groups themselves will be handled very loosely and may differ from in game.

I want to explore my own headcanons and concepts on pokemon as well as the stories of the characters (mainly Cari) on this blog. I don't intend to contradict accounts who dont work on the same ideas as me so please dont do so to me.If I do cross any boundaries or lines, please let me know.

Welcome back!

OOC Thank you! I'm working on sort of rearranging the blog and getting stuff done! Updating character bios and references, working on some comics and doodles just spring cleaning atm, but I'll hopefully be back again fully soon :3

Reblog if your Pokemon IRL character is an Adult!

//A lot of the pokeblogs here on Rotomblr are younger trainers, which is cool, but it's also nice to see some older characters as well!

[celebisanctuary]

OOC: Cari is an adult. For side characters: Izek is also an adult.

Going to be getting my ass kicked to get this blog running again. I have ideas and Need to work on my blogs more. I will be trying to post a couple times a week

[celebisanctuary]

What region is your sanctuary in?

We're technically classed as belonging to the Albeirin region! However, our islands are a bit away from there geographically.! - Cari

((@celebisanctuary))Cari: Hey! I saw you were a fairy type specialist! And I was curious if you had any experience working with the ralts line? Specifically those with birth defects affecting the horns they use to sense emotions? I have a ralts named Fleur who hatched with a dual front horn and no one is really sure how he'll be affected as he grows.

Hello there! @celebisanctuary

I do indeed have experience with the ralts line, owning a male gardevoir who really likes to design their hair - anyway

I can’t say for certain without seeing an image of it but it probably won’t effect its life in the “magical” sense that it won’t draw in more energy just because there’s two. They’ll still experience sensory overload but not because it’s two horns but because it’s young

But just in case, I suggest you bring them in to a Gardevoir or Alackazam or any fairy/psychic type expert so they can see if it’s an active horn or not (like having nerves inside it)

As for physical growth, I’m not too sure, once again without seeing a picture of how it grew in.

[celebisanctuary]

We don’t actually know his age but he’s mentally around 7 to 10 years old we think? His brother, a Gallade who lived on the island, brought him to us cause he was sick. He’s where all the info came from. Fleur (the ralts in question) wanted to stick with me for some reason. It doesn’t seem to be genetic cause the Gallade is normal. Most recent picture I have of Fleur is a group pic with my other pokemon, which I will attach at the end. Seems to be connected at the base from what I can tell. Getting him to an expert might be hard for a bit, since I’m currently on an excursion and he’s with me. But I can transfer him to my brothers at home base when I get back to my base. 

Thank you for the advice!

The other mons love the lil cutie <3

[celebisanctuary]

Have you ever had a Pokémon use the move helping hand on yourself and for what?

Personally yes! Fleur, my lovely Ralts knows it. He uses it on me whenever he notices me struggling with a task, either physically or mentally and it provides a lovely boost! To my knowledge, Victor has had helping hand used on him by his Eevee, Luna. Though, from what I've heard the effects on him are a lot more drastic and can basically send him into hyper mode. It's not a good time. Izek has only ever had helping hand used on him when hes wrestling with pokemon. Typically in a 2 v 2 format, where his partner is a Gallade.

I hope that helps!

Cari

P.S I find your studies on plant pokemon, particularly the Oddish line, fascinating

[pokemon-paleontologist]

((@celebisanctuary)) Cari: Do you have any opinions on people trying to bring pokemon back from extinction? Not like. Fossils. Like the Hisuian forms of sneasel and growlithe etc. The prospect of being able to meet these pokemon excites me. But I also fear for how they will fit with this new world or what will be done with them.

@celebisanctuary

It is a complicated topic, and while they are not my specialty neccissarily, I do have some research in them. If they are brought back, it would have to be a similar situation to fossils, where the revived are kept either by trainers, or in areas specialized for them, like ranches or labs. Releasing them into the wild could cause suffering for the pokemon, as its niche has already been filled, or its inabikity to deal with modern life

[celebisanctuary]

Agreed. My main concern would be if the majority of trainers who chose to keep these pokemon would take the time needed to learn about the new species and their needs, how they differ from their modern cousins. Unfortunately, there’s more than a few fossil pokemon in the sanctuary who are here due to trainers assuming they are just like modern pokemon.

((@celebisanctuary)) Cari: Ooo, a bug type lover? From Unova yeah? My brothers are from there. Got a favourite line of buggy boys and gals? Personally I love the wurmple and pineco line. Lotta people underestimate them, but bug pokemon can be just as tough as any other typing out there. Just gotta give em a good chance yeah?

Caterpie! I have no end of good things to say about that line!

And yeah, I used a Pineco not too long ago. They were surprisingly strong, despite people seeing them as a purely defensive pokemon.

[celebisanctuary]

The Caterpie line are adorable and versatile from what I’ve seen! No wonder you like them! Pineco was on my team when I thought I wanted to be a trainer. She didn’t battle much but when she did, her and my Breloom were the MVPs of the team!

- Cari 

[celebisanctuary]

Who has the strongest pokemon of you guys? :O

If not the most well trained?

Ooo the strongest pokemon on the island? Or my team? On the island I would have to say the island patron themself: Celebi! There's one that lives on the island a fair lot but they do roam as well! Here they are pictured with berries they stole from Victor's garden.

If you mean my team, that would be Bonbon. The utility team isnt too strong since they mostly help out rather than battle.

Most well trained is hands down Fleur and Oracle, only two I don't need to stop from mischief lol!

Cari

[celebisanctuary]

I was wondering if anyone wanted to see some trail cam footage of the Celebi that practically lives on the island? Little bugger loves stealing fruits left for others food.

yknow ever since people realized tumblr isnt dead and have decided to flock here from twitter and tiktok ive seen a huge influx of people in fandom spaces who dont reblog anything. at all.

like, i used to have an art blog with 340 followers. not a ton but not a small amount either given how this website works with creators. and in my experience back then even the ones who only left likes still reblogged other things or at least posted their own stuff. literally the only empty blogs were clearly bots.

but on this New art blog, i've had so many people with fandom-specific headers and icons with actual usernames as urls and some kind of title or description, but have. Nothing. no posts. all they do is like things. and it's always public, too. their following list and their likes list.

and honestly all it makes me think is that these people are New and also don't know how tumblr works. how likes don't give exposure. not even in a "oh, i know it doesn't give exposure, but i'm still going to reblog anyways" way, but in a genuine honest to god straight up doesn't realize tumblr likes don't work like twitter's.

PLEASE please if you're from tiktok or twitter or whatever please reblog people's art both fandom and original if you like it!! and maybe actually pad out your blog's content in some way so people won't potentially see you as a bot and block you.

REBLOG ARTIST'S WORK. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY THEY GET ANY ATTENTION ON THIS WEBSITE OH MY GOD. PLEASE. I BEG of you

[celebisanctuary]

can lechonk and tepig be friends?

Yeah! I haven't seen many lechonk myself as theres none on the island but I have heard reports of lechonk leading tepig to delicious berries for the tepig to roast them! So the two can different be friends and even help each other find food they both enjoy!
