Arhou Dex Index
This post is the main list for my fan region fakemon dex! The numbering system is a little different than your typical Pokedex--they're numbered by the original region that evolution line was recorded in. There are gaps in the numbering for the canon Pokemon that appear in the Arhou region. I'll update this post with links to the fakemon as I post them! (There's a teaser for two unrevealed fakemon in the splash art here, but you'll get more details on them later.)

Enough random notes that have a written story on them as environmental storytelling, explore the space, get crazier with it.
You move into a house and aw cute, it has the kids height on the walls but you notice there's a three foot difference in height between measurements, you check the date, they're a month apart. The final measurement is on the ceiling. It's dated two days ago.
You're part of a recovery team that have finally found a stranded ship, they were found too late and have all passed a long time ago. They all died of starvation. You enter their storeroom, it's filled with food. In the dining hall you find the tables laden with perfectly fine looking breads, cakes, cured meats, jams, candies. Your medic says all the people sitting at the table didn't eat a Thing.
You wake up in an apocalypse. You can't find anyone at all as you wander the streets but you do hear faint music playing from somewhere. You stumble into a supermarket, to see all the aisles still full, except for the shelf that was full of ear plugs, which look to be the only thing that was looted.
Like there's light, sound, props. Having a street where every house is decimated except for One. Landing on a planet known for having No Water and a plant is growing and you don't know where it could have possibly gotten moisture from but you can't find the citizens Anywhere.
I'm sorry, I'm just kinda over the "graffiti on the wall to show the bad guy is around". That's not environmental storytelling that's just normal story. Show me I'm in the villains territory by the rain suddenly cutting out above me as I'm driving, even though it's meant to be raining all night. I park the car and step out, and realise the constellations are Wrong, until I see they're Not constellations, they're the blinking lights of a massive ship-
I Will stop now because everytime I go to write a sentence it devolves into another prompt but I'm just saying we have a Lot of senses, engage them, show me the Environment in environmental storytelling.
I love thrifting with tacky lesbians bc they pick up a shirt and go ‘thoughts?’ And I’m like ‘that looks like something a high elf merchant in elder scrolls oblivion would wear’ and she’s like ‘you just dont see the vision’ LIKE.
just did an insanely fun slay the spire custom run, almost every modifier on (except ones that would straight up make it unplayable) and completed each act 4 times.
oh, and the number of cards is covered by the button, it was 1251. this with mind blast just straight up obliterated everyone

Food for metalic beings, made of metalic fungus! How cool.
sometimes I get so angry thinking about ‘The Imitation Game’ that I have to go in a little ‘upset big tantrum room’ in my head for a calm down
like, Benisnatch Cumberque played the same character he’s always plays as an asshole genius and we were all supposed to be okay with it, but it’s basically character slander
at different parts of the movie Turing is described as ‘arrogant, “inhuman,” “narcissistic,” and even “a monster,” in the film he goes against those around him and is shown to periodically ignore and belittle his colleagues
And. I. Am. So. Angry.
Alan Turing was described by his friends and people that knew him as “intensely shy and kindly”, he was said to “inspire loyalty and affection among those who appreciated his unusual gifts” and was “unfailingly generous with his time and expertise, especially toward younger recruits”
He was kind, he was kind, HE WAS KIND, he was kind
he was kind and geeky and awkward and gay, I don’t care if the whole of society doesn’t find that compelling, I don’t care if we don’t value kindness as an attribute in men, he deserved to be loved and respected as he was, not as we wish he was
I am so sorry Alan Turing, I am so sorry your story was not told with care and thoughtfulness, I am so sorry you didn’t get to be shown to be deeply in love with the men you loved, I am sorry your great and terrible tragedy was never unfolded as a kind and brilliant man abused by a horrible homophobic system
You are a hero that turned the tides of history like no other and I am so sorry
hey op if you’re looking for a kinder movie about alan turing, you should check out breaking the code (1996). breaking the code was originally a stage play, and this is a filmed adaptation. it’s more faithful to his personality, stars derek jacobi (who was also a gay man and plays the part with so much sympathy), and it doesn’t bungle historical details for the sake of adding more drama. here’s a link to a youtube playlist where you can watch it in full
He felt bad for the children who were stuck at bletchley park without their toys so he used spare paper from his office to make them a monopoly board by hand
He was also reported as having a goofy sense of humor where he used to make a show of saying goodbye to everyone at the party and then walk into the closet instead of out the front door
Plus, he was quoted as saying quips like “Beyond the way they speak, there is only one (no two!) features of American life which I find really tiresome. The impossibility of getting a bath in the ordinary sense and their ideas on room temperature.” — Alan Turing (1936)
He was a huge athlete and biked everywhere and sometimes ran the five miles to work every morning, and did things like calculate when his bike chain would break so he could keep riding the thing despite it being ancient
He was still “odd” according to his coworkers as he sometimes wore a gasmask to work to avoid spring allergies and used to chain his coffee mug up to avoid theft at the office, but the same colleagues described him as very friendly, open, and thoughtful as well if not shy.
and finally, of course, there was Porgy
He used to practice his Cambridge lectures in front of this stuffed bear he got in college named Porgy and was delighted when his mom sewed it a little outfit. He kept the bear with him throughout life.
i keep seeing this version without any mention of turing being autistic, and how this portrayal of him as a cold cruel genius is a classic autiphobic trope we’re subjected to constantly.
he was kind, he was gay, he was brilliant, he was autistic.
this fibonacci joke is as bad as the last two you heard combined

I just really like this weird fuckin' thing. Second favorite Pokemon! (First is Mismagius.)
Free to use as long as you credit me, you're not making money, and you're not a TERF. These sprites were made by a nonbinary dragon!
When you headcanon a character as trans who is not explicitly trans in their original media, do you usually imagine it as (as in, more often than not):
A - The character is already presenting as their preferred gender
2. The character transitions away from their presentation in the media
III: I do both of those with roughly equal frequency and reckless abandon
Four: I don't apply trans headcanons I just find media that has trans characters
ε. A secret 5th thing and/or I'm just nosy, show results.
For clarity:
A - Having a headcanon of Marisa Kirisame from Touhou as a trans woman. Her pronouns and general presentation are the same in the media and in your headcanon. This also applies to nonbinary headcanons where the "official" presentation is not unacceptable, like a she/they nonbinary Marisa.
2. Having a headcanon of Arven from Pokemon Scar/Vi as a trans girl. The pronouns and presentation used in the media are unacceptable to the headcanoned version of the character. This applies to both binary and nonbinary trans character headcanons.
I'm curious what people do! Please reblog if you're also curious. If this gets more than 500 votes I'll reveal what I voted for.
