Might as well introduce myself, hm? Greetings, I am Aluminum. I am a Pokémon Professor and researcher based in the fairly small Inscii region. I use he/it pronouns, as well as they/them on occasion. I don't research one thing in particular, as I enjoy pokéology as a whole. Though, I mainly research Insciian Pokémon and mythical Pokémon. Currently, I am researching Inscii's unusual legendary Pokemon, with the help of..... other "researchers". I'm not very into catching Pokémon, however, I do have a few myself: - Volt (Jolteon) - Pory (Porygon) - Cogsworth (Klinklang) - Liz (Cyclizar) - Fuecoco [unnamed] My ask box is always open, and I am more than happy to receive questions, or to chat. I am also legally obligated to state that I am a rotom. Not that it matters. [Important OOC under cut. Warning for long post.]
---------------------------------------------- Hello there, I am Lemon, and I (of course) run this blog. I use any pronouns, though, I keep a list of my preferred pronouns here. Any posts made by me will be tagged as "#ooc", and asks will be tagged as "#mail for the mod". This blog is based upon my Pokémon AU for the game "Inscryption" By Daniel Mullins. The blog follows an adapted version of it taking place in the regular Pokémon universe, rather than Inscryption's. Any material will be based upon or inspired by Inscryption, rather than directly pulled from it. Knowledge about Inscryption is absolutely not required. I do recommend playing it, though. Good game. This blog will mostly go by game lore, but will use some headcanons as well. Some of the more notable headcanons include:
Rotoms do not naturally age past maturity, and therefore do not die from old age. You have to kill a rotom for it to die. Like crabs.
Pokémon eggs have the pattern of the species within, much like how they're depicted in the anime. Certain circumstances can lead to eggs having the spotty pattern seen in the game, however, this is quite rare.
Professors primarily write Pokédex entries, though some often have teams who do it for them.
Catching legendary and mythical Pokémon is highly illegal without explicit government permission. Though, permission is only granted for research purposes and requires caught Pokémon to be released afterward.
Disguised Pokémon living among humans is a commonplace thing, however, there are laws surrounding it, as it is deemed dangerous (since, you know, wild animal). Any Pokémon that are found out are usually released into the wild, or dealt with in other humane ways. The law allows for some exceptions to continue to live among humans, though the qualifications are quite slim. Some reasons may include that the individual was important in some way, or that they have human children that are too young to live alone.
Mutations such as melanism, chimerism, vitiligo, heterochromia, etc. that cause cosmetic differences can happen in Pokémon. Of course, they are as rare as their real-world counterparts.
Most version-exclusive content from duos/trios are both canon, though only the events of one game happen. For example, both Naranja and Uva Academy exist, however, the protagonist and their friends only go to one of them. (Yes, yes I know this one goes against canon, but canon is not real and cannot hurt me <3) This list may be updated in the future.
Some other important info about the blog:
Terfs are not welcome here. I will block on sight.
I (Lemon) am a minor. Please do not be weird in my ask box, and feel free to block me if you don't feel comfortable about interacting with minors.
You may send me asks to answer OOC if you'd like. Just specify somewhere that it's for me and not Aluminum.
I have quite a bit of experience with Tumblr RP, most notably with the bus driver blogs (Bus Driver Universe)
Please do not send me spoilers for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. I, unfortunately, know a decent amount about the game and it's ending, but I would like to have SOME surprises left for when I play myself.
This blog will mainly take place on social media, as an in-universe Tumblr blog, though, roleplay of events "offline" is allowed.
Aluminum's posts will be tagged as "#research notes", and asks will be tagged as "#questions & observations"
