Hello there. You may call me Whisper, and I use she/her pronouns. I was told I should give this Rotomblr thing a try so I could interact with some new people, and after lurking for a bit, here I am.
I used to be, very briefly, the leader of Team Rocket and a Champion of the Kanto region five years ago. Getting this out of the way: I don't follow Team Rocket's morals and spent a long time making sure it got disbanded (both times) and ensuring that all the grunts had somewhere to go. Nowadays I usually hang around Viridian City with my pokemon when I don't make an excuse to travel.
My official pokemon team consists of Pestilence, Weed, Bro, Snap, Dula, and Siccem, as seen above. I may mention them at times, as well as Nya and Miracle.
Feel free to ask questions, or whatever. If things glitch here, don't worry about it.
[OOC below the cut.]
[Heyo! It's Nelvana (Nel for short) / Lucky!! I use she/her pronouns and my main blog is @nelvana. Feel free to reach out to me directly for any questions regarding how things work here!
This is a pokemon irl blog heavily inspired by the rom hack Rocket Edition, so spoilers abound. It takes place five years after the events of Rocket Edition/FireRed/LeafGreen; this means that the main game events from Hoenn (Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald), Johto (HeartGold/SoulSilver), and Sinnoh (Platinum) have all happened by this point too. All mainline pokemon games are considered canon, though as to be expected there is some canon divergence regarding the Kanto and Johto games. Posts are primarily text-based, with a chance for occasional art.
There will be swearing, and potential for discussions of war, drugs, pokemon politics, death, glitches, and in-universe unreality. Despite those content warnings, the blog itself will be generally low-stakes; the worst that's happened is behind us. Sapient pokemon are featured; Whisper can talk to pokemon and may pass some messages from them along.
Pelipper Mail is allowed. Pelipper Unmail/Malice, Musharna Mail/Malice and Magic Anons are not allowed. Multiverse interactions and crossovers are welcome, Union Room is available by request.]
for my first post, i'll share this photograph i took of goomy on a walk! it was a nice overcast evening after the rain, so it was a perfect time for it to look around and keep its moisture before the sun came out.
These past few weeks weโve been bombarded with multiple snow storms. When it finally calms down a few of our staff members take a trip up the mountain to make sure everythingโs all fine with both the ranch and wild pokemon. During this trip we get sent some amazing pictures.

As a Trainer, what are the logistics on converting a Secret Base into a proper residential space?
i wont lie i've been living out of a Secret Base for the last few months, hardest part is getting power and water running without an electric or water type on hand.
so far i've been filling batteries off of wild Pachirisu that end up in my shrub and playing matador with the Duckletts to fill up water basins. however i AM saving money since its around the size of a solid 1b/1ba without having to pay rent ... as long as you're okay with the occasional trainer shaking you out while they're looking for berries or whatever
hot take but โI hyper beam younger trainersโ lvl. 3 rodent โmons in order to humble themโ isnโt the edgy flex you think it is. thereโs literally nothing โedgyโ or cool about potentially hospitalizing some kidโs pokรฉmon! hope this helps

You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
Which is to say, if you wish to convince someone to leave a cult or high-control group, you will have better luck by being a friendly, non-threatening outside presence than by trying to argue them out of it. (Further reading)
It will take time and kindness and a willingness to listen to their point of view without always trying to argue against it or be right. You cannot logic someone out of an organization that is preying on their emotions, identity, and need for connection.
If you do not have the patience for this, or you are at risk of harm or recruitment from the cult, walk away. Block them, keep a polite distance in the workplace, simply don't engage. You are not required to do this work, especially for a stranger.
It is a dick move to approach cult members who are not in your space or actively harming someone and threaten them with violence. It will only reinforce their leaders' claims that the cult is the only place where they are safe.
HOWEVER, if you, your community, or your Pokรฉmon are actively in danger from a member of a cult, you are morally justified in defending them.
Calling someone's belief system a cult is a fast way to convince them you have no idea what you are talking about and should be ignored.
//ooc disclaimer: for roleplay purposes only. the links provided are correct to the best of my knowledge but if someone you know is in a cult in real life please don't rely on "i heard this on a pokemon roleplay blog"
