Anyways I guess we’re doing this now.... if you care about our system’s specific stuff like this I guess read on. No, we didn’t do all of us, just the ones that already knew/had a strong inkling of what their Pokesona is.
Ok so I thought I mentioned this in a post previously. But I can't find it. Damien can not get drunk. His body burns alcohol faster then it can make him drunk. This is the same with any of his children.
RE: my Pokemon OCs... I wouldn’t say Poppy will get a complete overhaul (she is who she is) but there might be some verse changing when I get my hands on Shining Pearl when it comes out in a couple months.
It’s not hugely likely? The Hart cousins are deliberately NPC-styled for the most part, in that they’d coexist with but definitely not take the place of the protagonists. They complement existing characters well, though.
A reminder of the group under the cut for those who might not be familiar but are interested:
The Hart Cousins are my answer to “is there a breeder ‘family’ like there’s the Joy and Jenny cousins?” So, for every main-game region I have one of my girls. Each one has a breeder background, but some of them have other careers as well. In game-release-order:
Sakura Hart, from Kanto (Red+Blue+Yellow / FireRed+LeafGreen / Let’s Go! region). Main verse takes place around FR/LG in no small part because that’s the ones I played. XD
Very down to earth, practical and driven. Sakura actually did take the Pokemon Gym Challenge in Kanto but had to stop after her sixth badge to go home and help at the daycare. She hopes to one day have the chance to complete the challenge.
Lily Hart, from Johto (Gold+Silver+Crystal / HeartGold+Soul Silver region) Main verse takes place well post-HGSS as she was actually born a little before the end of the game events. My OG girl, and the first of the Hart cousins to be developed; she actually has a ton of crossover verses as well.
Sweet, helpful, but perhaps a little too ambitious in trying to do all the things - and there was always something to do at her grandparents’ daycare. After graduating from the academy with formal training as a breeder, she ended up becoming Professor Elm’s assistant, eagerly helping with his (canonical) studies into Pokemon breeding.
Daisy Hart, from Hoenn (Ruby+Sapphire+Emerald / Omega Ruby+Alpha Sapphire region) main verse is post-ORAS.
Daisy was trained as a breeder growing up, but really wanted to be a Coordinator and quickly took off for the contest circuit. She is a Personality, vibrant and over the top, a definite drama queen on stage. But it’s actually a very deliberate, calculated persona, used to help control how people perceive her and deflect from anything she doesn’t want noticed. She can also be very practical and surprisingly down to earth when it comes to Pokemon.
Poppy Hart, from Sinnoh (Diamond+Pearl+Platinum / Shining Pearl+Brilliant Diamond) her main verse is currently pre-Platinum but will be under revision with the remake’s release.
Poppy is a fun, bubbly, adventurous lady who originally thought she might go into archaeology formally (there’s a lot of neat ruins to study!) but instead, a fateful trip to Eterna City introduced her to The Underground and she’s been spelunking ever since. While she still helps out at the daycare, she’s most passionate about being a treasure hunter.
Dahlia Hart, from Unova (Black+White / Black 2+White2) main verse is pre-games For Reasons.
Dahlia is a super active, strong willed woman with a soft heart who does consider herself a Pokemon trainer - indeed, took the challenge for a whole four badges before getting homesick and returning to the family daycare to see about connecting with her roots. She also helps run a Pokemon rehabilitation center in Striaton, where they basically take the overflow from the Pokemon Center or cases too serious for them to handle.
Rose Hart from Kalos (X+Y) main verse is pregames because it’s the one set in the series I have not played D:
Rose is extremely intelligent, but also quiet and shy due to a lot of health issues that have kept her from getting much socialization outside of Pokemon and her family. She has a wealth of academic knowledge, more than most her age since she spent her time recovering buried in books, and is simply lacking in the practical experiences. As she’s slowly getting stronger, she hopes to fill in more of those gaps.
Ginger Hart, from Alola (Sun+Moon / Ultra Sun+Ultra Moon) main verse is pre-SM. That may be changed if I ever get off my butt and finish US, I do have it...
Ginger is, excuse the pun, a very sunny, outgoing, people-person. While she attended the trainers’ school and did even clear the trials on her home island of Melemele, a visit from her grandparents taught her about the family history of breeding and she was quick to move to Akala Island specifically to take a position at Paniola Ranch.
Violet Hart, from Galar (Sword+Shield) main verse is pre-SWSH just because so much changes during the game.
Violet is a bit eccentric but usually considered charming enough that people overlook it. It helps that she’s a very generous and genuinely kind person as well. Of course, in Galar the nurseries are different than the daycares in other regions - they don’t train the Pokemon left there, they just encourage them to breed. She does have the first three badges from the Galar circuit, but it was too much showy performance even for her and she called it quits after Motostoke. She’s perfectly happy to settle in the Wild Area and enjoy her life with Pokemon.
Namjoon - Bisexual / Pansexual (he is still unsure of his sexuality)
Ria - Asexual (?)(sexuality is a foriegn concept to him)
Kenshi - Bisexual (Male prefernce)
Clow - Bisexual /Demi
Johnny - Pansexual
Sakura** - Confirmed bisexual via Clamp.
*** Sakura has been shown to have preference for both genders (and those presenting without gender) but is defintely more bi than pan in my opinion. Please note she does not start exploring her sexuality until she about 15 (in my own opinion) since in Clear Card she is aged up to 14. That being said NO SEXUAL THREADS WITH HER UNLESS SHE IS AVED UP TO 18. thank you.
All of these are headcanon based besides Sakura thank.
Personality: Sakura is a very down to earth person, though not immune to bouts of whimsy. She’s very much driven to be the best, not at any one thing so much as anything she happens to fix her laser focus on at the time. Athletic and energetic, she can be a spitfire, but with a kind heart and always ready to lend a helping hand.
Backstory: Growing up near Saffron City, the hustle and bustle of urban living is something Sakura was more than used to. There was always something to do, always something going on, and always some fun to be had. Most of her childhood was full of fond memories at the daycare her parents ran on Route 5, especially when she was old enough she was allowed to help train them.
It was no wonder, however, that when she reached the traditional age to start the Gym Challenge, Sakura found herself traveling with her father over to Pallet Town, ready to take the plunge.
She got on extremely well with Pokémon from the start, and took to training like a Psyduck to water. She was also extremely interested in attempting to catalogue all the Kanto-native Pokémon in her Pokédex, so a lot of time was spent wandering routes, honing her Pokémon’s skills, and catching a variety of new Pokémon as she ran into them. She made it all the way to her sixth badge (Marsh Badge) before she had to come home to help more with the daycare, but still hopes to one day complete the challenge.
Main Team: Venusaur, Pidgeot, Nidoqueen, Primeape, Seaking, Ninetales
The Hart family has arrived! (With a grand total of juuuuust shy of 100 icons between them. Sakura has the fewest and she still has eight.) There are presumably more assorted cousins, but they won’t be revealed until there’s more games and regions for me to tailor them to.
Again, Lily is the main muse here - barring me expanding on the others enough to make it worth the effort, she’s the only one open for crossovers outside Pokemon (though, I could see a couple of them translating over to other fandoms surprisingly well...)
Anyway, the specific intro posts per cousin are queued up in order of their region’s release. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
