Hi, Welcome In!

Pokémon XY RP blog. Following the adventures of Neo-Champion/Detective Hailey and her friends.

OOC introduction post: Here are the trainer cards for the blog’s two main characters. I wanted to make a blog for XY’s anniversary, staring the characters who have been living in my brain for the past ten years.

We have our main character, Hailey, my X protaganist. For the past 10 years she has been adventuring Kalos and the surrounding regions, filling the National Pokédex and solving mysteries.

Accompanying her, is her friend Jacques. He is a Honedge gijinka whose missing his memories. He hopes that by accompanying her on her journey, he may be able to regain some of them.

Feel free to send asks for them!

Hailey’s asks will be answered in red.

Jacques asks will be answered will be in blue.

Pokémon ZA trainer question!

What would your OC have used their Rank A wish on if they had the choice?

[pkmn-xy-squad]

Hailey’s wish would be to would probably be to do something for someone else. Like providing the funding for Clemont to build a new gym since Prism Tower was destroyed.

Jacques’ wish would be gain access to the city’s historical archives to see if he could find anything about his past.

How has the search to recover your memories been going, Jacques? Any luck?

My search has been progressing, however slowly. I now know thanks to people we have met on our travels in Paldea that this memory loss is not an issue unique to myself alone, but to ghost type Pokémon who used to be human as a whole. I also now know that I am much, much older than all of us previously thought. Which I do admit, scares me a little.

I think I posted the old Pokémon X pictures of Hailey I took from my 3DS a while ago, so I felt I should follow it up with a whole bunch of pictures I have taken from Legends ZA with her.

Halley, as she appears in Pokémon Legends: ZA. They don’t have the same hairstyle I liked from X (long twintails) so ponytail will have to do. Also one with her Delphox. I like the little heart emote a lot.

Mega Pigeot in Kalos Real! Here’s Mega Cas looking cool as fuck.

Here’s Hailey and Jacques having tea and croissants at one of the food trucks.

Lastly, here is her with AZ and one of floette!

I know we don’t have the plot of legends za yet but I really am leaning towards:

Hailey, Jacques, Emma, and the other Kalos protagonists: “I am the adult now, so it’s my job mentor and to protect the new Pokédex holders” (from being traumatized like they were)

The legends ZA protagonists: “I am going to parkour on the roofs because it’s cool, and join the investigation team to fight the rogue mega Pokémon because I want to help all my new friends!”

Hailey, pulling at her pigtails in frustration: “Nooo! Leave all the dangerous fights to me because it’s my job as the champion to deal with them, and don’t want to see you get hurt!!”

Just gonna…post my Pokémon XY OC picrews here.

1. Just a regular day at the detective agency.

2. Idea for legends ZA time skip Hailey outfit? I wanted to keep the detective look but also the shoulder cape because she’s Neo-Champion.

3. Jacques in his knight armor.

POV: You're someone who's had Emma as one of your favourite Pokémon characters and you had to suffer through 11 years of her barely having any fan art/fanfics but you see her on the fucking BOX ART of Legends Z-A, implying that she's going to be a major character in the game, meaning that a new wave of fan content with her in it is on the horizon:

[pkmn-xy-squad]

Now that Pokémon Legends ZA has a release I should probably finish up the Paldea arc before then. But am I actually going to finish before then? Probably not.

[jadeazora]

We actually did get some news this week! Pokemon Legends Z-A will be out Oct16!

Edit, the box art:

20 for the oc ask post: "if applicable, can they drive? if they have their own, what color is their vehicle? is the inside neat and tidy, or a mess?"

Sorry, this one isn’t applicable to anyone. Pokémon as a series doesn’t really use cars as a mode of transport, at least in the games. Anywhere Hailey and Jacques would need to go, they ether would go on foot, use a HM (Fly, Surf) or taxi services like that in the Paldea region.

[pkmn-xy-squad]

The ZA battle royal tournament announcement today got me thinking, what would Hailey and Jacques enter the tournament for? The only reason I can see them doing it would be for fun and detective investigation. I can’t think of anything Hailey would wish for, and the only thing that Jacques would wish for is to find his missing memories from his past life. Which depending on the mechanism for granting wishes, may not even be possible to grant.

Idea I had from a comic featuring @agentc0rn's and @kuruna’s OCs Zeth and Jedda

Zeth: *absolutely terrified of Jedda because he’s a scary sword ghost haunting AZ*

Zeth meeting Jacques, another sword ghost: *internally* oh shit there’s two of them

Jacques, who knows he unnerves people but means well: Sir? Are you alright?

Almost forgot to post this here 😭 doodle comic featuring @agentc0rn 's oc Zeth ^.^ an unfortunate situation for everyone involved !!!

post that inspired this

I really like the idea of XY protagonists being the mentors for the ZA protagonists. Especially Hailey/Calem because they are the Neo-Champions responsible for being role models for the new kids. Just like Trevor teaching them how to catch Pokémon, Sina and Dexio giving them their pokedexes and showing them how they work. Introducing them to their zygarde reseach and helping them to collect data on it. Shauna teaching them how to make pokepuffs and care for their partner Pokémon. Tierno teaching them how to rollerblade and all the cool moves. And of course, Hailey and Calem teaching them how to battle, and later on how to utilize the power of mega evolution safely. All of them keeping an eye on the new kids. Hailey and shauna introducing them to Clemont and Bonnie later for super training and other challenges.

The ZA protags seeing Sina, Dexio and Expansion suit Emma sneaking around on the rooftops at night and trying to emulate that, much to their chagrin.

And while the protagonists are doing that, Jacques is staying in the hotel. He’s in the library pouring over books and other documents that may have historical significance. AZ comes to talks with him when he’s done running the place for the day.
