Fankid Blog

10 years have passed since the world's pokemon master dissappearance, in that same time-frame a young trainer by the same surname appears! Follow Delia Ketchum in her adventures, whilst meeting old and new faces alike!

Hello! A little update post again.

I wanted to announce that I'll continue the fankidweek drawings sometime soon (hopefully) some situations happened irl that threw me off the drawing loop; but things are calming down now, so im going to try my best! Even though it might not be on time💔

Still, thank you for the continued support! I hope to keep making more content for the fankiddies💖

Fankid week, day 2: Pokemon partners! Decided to go a little bit wild on this one, they might be flat colors but the designs were the focus here!

More writing under cut!

Delia: She meet her partner when it was brought as a rescue; a small eevee kicked out of the pack, turned feral and aggressive due to the harsh conditions it had lived in. Though patience and care, Delia was able to befriend it, making it her first pokemon!

Douglas: Given as a totodile, he has his started chosen as most kids do in the Johto region, and has been with him ever since; the star of his team!

Rose: Not quite her first pokemon, but her first caught; she met zigzagoon while traveling, as it followed her around. Soon warming up to the creature, she took it with her, becoming her most trusted companion ever since!

Kitty: Her first pokemon, her altaria named 'blublu', was met as a swablu when she was only 8 years old; her parents let her keep it, but they only started battling once the journey started! As for Raichu, it used to be a girl's contest pikachu, who when evolved, was released since it was not 'pretty' anymore; though kitty gladly added the rodent pokemon to her team!

Archer: Given as an egg by iris, since he was 9 he'd been taking care of the egg; and when it hatched, it became his first pokemon! A proud dragon type to start his journey as a dragon master.

Becca: After being indecisive with the three Kalos starters given to her, she was offered an alternative: in Sycamore's lab, they'd been taking care of an injured Panpour, who would have a hard time re-joining the wild. He and Becca became close in no time, a notoriously great match!

Pikake: Before catching his shiny cutiefly, he had a regular Cutiefly before, whom evolved to ribombee. But when finding the shiny surrounded by pokemon poachers, he fought to set it free, only for it to get attached to the boy, and becoming his pokemon partner!

Fankid week day 1: Family!

Saw the prompts on the fankid tag, so i guessed i might as well try it out! Writings under the drawing (which is heavily referenced, btw) ❤️

Delia had been living her entire life with Ms. Ketchum, her grandmother, who was her mother figure. But due to health complications, when little Delia was barely 9; Ms. Ketchum passed away.

Due to a vow of secrecy Ms. Ketchum had made with ash to keep his daughter undisturbed, nobody was told about the little girl's existence. Up until one day Gary, closest with Ms. Ketchum by bond and walking distance, by chance met Ash's daughter when she was 6; and became the only one aside from them who knew. He took the initiative to further the child's education, seeing potential in her, and her curious enthusiasm about the world.

But after the tragic passing, Gary decided to tell Ash's closest friends about the situation, and took little Delia as his own daughter; the girl now having a hard time processing her grief, closing off herself and her enthusiasm dwindling for this loss. It wasn't easy for Gary either, him now with the burden to carry his own grief silently to give Delia a shoulder to rely on. As hard as creating that bond might be.

So they're both since learning how to heal, how to patch up their grievances and to support themselves as a family; because a family is the ones who stay with you through the goods and the bads❤️

Since im feral, let's have two posts on the same day; time for Paul!! Champion of the Sinnoh region, and dad to kitty❤️

He looks old (compared to the rest of characters) but he's really the same age as Gary, but with half the sleep he takes slfkfk hopefully i get the next profiles done asap too!!

[poke-looking-forward]

Dawn!! Dawny!! She!! Another profile for adults, this time for the fav penguin gal💖 She's hardworking (and works a lot) and is running place to place in sinnoh for that!

I was going to do Max before her, but if I'm honest i got once again frustrated with the drawing skfkkf; so he shall be shown at... Some point

[poke-looking-forward]

Drew's time to shine! Model and coordinator ready to hit the stage✨ A very green man with a pretty team too!

Hopefully i get the next profile done soon-ish, and since January is ending i might take a break from the adult profiles because fankid week is coming 😳

[poke-looking-forward]

Hoenn's own coordinator's time to shine: May! She's married to Drew, and is the mother of Rose and little Oswald in her arms there ❤️

Has chosen a less agitated life, participating in contests every now and then but keeps consistent job on recruiting new talents for pokemon contests! That's it for her for now!

I was going to do tracey, but i got really frustrated with the design and the lineart that i skipped him (sorry my man) but eventually he'll be completed ;;; but there's ideas for the next parent!

[poke-looking-forward]

I'm finally back!! Life has been hectic but i will get back into working into the proyect again!!

So here's best man Brock! Now recognized pokemon doctor in the region after long years of studying.

And i have fankids planned for him too! I want to do all the main adults for now though, so the secondary fankiddies will have to wait 👀

[poke-looking-forward]

Hello! Sorry for the lack of content the last few days, the holidays and start of January are a little complex for me; so that's that.

But with that aside, happy holidays and have a great new year! I'll do my best to keep updating this concept, and im excited to keep making content so yeah! Have a great one everyone! And take care of yourself and of your loved ones too!

[poke-looking-forward]

Today I'll present a new person for pokeani-verse: Leaf! She's Misty's girlfriend, who has her own place near Cerulean; i call the ship Neunpharshipping (that's another name for waterlily plants!)

Leaf has selective mutism, thus doesn't speak to most people and instead prefers to use sign language, aside from living in isolation doesn't make it really necessary to speak.

Is a kind soul to pokemon, and specially her team. Her pikachu is distinctive for its white belly and usually wearing a hat, which made his ears stay lopped as a custom.

That's it for Leaf! She's important because she helps Delia frequently, besides she's cute and i care for her a lot (she has the cottagecore life)

[poke-looking-forward]

And now for Cerulean's city gym leader: Misty! Now one of the strongest trainers in Kanto, head of Cerulean's city gym. Could be easily be part of the Elite 4, but she loves her work as a gym leader!

She pretty much Douglas' favorite person, he admires her a lot! A kind and encouraging woman, who still has the same Misty-temperament she's known for, but keeps it as a secret weapon.

She also helps Delia in her adventures, alongside her girlfriend! Whoever that might be... 👀

[poke-looking-forward]

Another fellow parent! Heres Daisy Williams, Douglas' mother and part of the Spectacular Sisters performing trio.

Cares a little bit too much about her son, and dotes much on him too (making little douglas overwhelmed; she's the kind of mom to pinch your cheeks in front of your friends)

She's the one who stays in contact with Misty the most, and talking about her; she's next so stay tuned!

[poke-looking-forward]

Now finally for adult profiles! Here's the prolific professor of the Kanto region: Gary oak! Follows his gramp's footsteps in pokemon research, as well of taking care of little Delia as her daughter after Ms. Ketchum's passing.

He is now a Dad™, might be a little worrisome over Delia (who he calls Lia) but they have a good relationship! Though its difficult to get there, they're a little happy family in the end❤️ and a little fun fact: That smeargle is a gift by Lia too!

This is the format im going to use for adult profiles, by the way, so expect more soon!

[poke-looking-forward]

Hello! I arrive here with an announcement, i finally settled for a name for this little project, that being; Pokemon: Looking forward!

I feel it encapsulates the "next gen" concept fankids had, plus its cute! Im going to change the URL so it's fitting as well ❤️

Another thing, i have the format for the adult characters pretty much ready too! I only have to do the drawings, though that might take me a little while too (though i have one ready as of now!)

That's it! Thanks for the support and take care💕

[poke-looking-forward]

Alright i might as well do updates here, after all this is my poke page here!

I've had a few ideas running in my mind; first of them being wanting a change of name for this sort of project! "We've got the power" is the unofficial one right now, but I'm not entirely convinced. But a change of URL is needed, i find this name sort of bland myself

Other news is, I'm already conceptualizing the adult profiles! By that i mean the already known characters. They're going to have a different look and feel entirely, and I'm going to focus in the "Main" adults only (though I'm considering not following an order)

That's it! Sorry for the wall of text, but I'm appreciating all the support so far. Take care!

[poke-looking-forward]

Re-using most drawings here, but more hq pictures of the kiddies! + a new delia pic

Made these for uploading to my Instagram, but they were cute so i might as well upload here!

[poke-looking-forward]

The last main kid of the bunch: Pikake! Adopted by Kahuna Kiawe and a rising fairy trainer!

He is the last main kiddie i have, I'll see what i do next in terms of profiles. (maybe the adults? Who knows)

Still, thank you so much for the support in all of these posts! 💖
