I’m sorry but I adore the idea of calling one of the guys a Pokémon’s mama bc I know you’d get strange looks from most of them.

Handing Volo his Togepi and telling him she was “looking for mama” and he just takes his egg daughter like “haha yeah… wait…”

Seeing Hoopa messing around with Lear and asking the creature “aw, are you playing with mama?” And he just… looks at you…

Please I’m cackling

"Are you looking for your mama?" to a Joltik. It hops up and down and lets out a chirp. You then carry it to Emmet and alert them that you have found mama. Emmet embraces it for but a moment and coos that mama is right here. You give the strange look this time.

"Do you want mama?" you ask a confused Litwick staring at Ingo on the phone. He has to pause to glance at you. There is nothing more said as he continues his call.

"Did mama lock you out?" You ask the poor, mrowing Meowth. The door to the police station opens as Nanu stares unamused. He takes the Meowth in and shuts the door. You gasp in offence.

Holding a Beldum that Steven is caring for while seeing it acting strange. "Missing mama?" you asked. It lets out a cry. Steven, who is dusting a stone nearby, has to physically pause to process that. Especially when you hand the Beldum to him.

"Mama is hungover again, isn't he?" you ask the Liepard watching Grimsley nurse a headache with coffee. He shoots a tired glance at you. Leipard lets out a meow in concurrence.

"Your mama is ignoring you..." you pet the poor Wimpod as it stares adoringly at Guzma. He stops whatever conversation he is having with Plumeria to look at you. He then picks up the Wimpod while loudly calling himself dad.

The texting Emmet drunk post makes me wonder how different guys would respond to a drunken request to send a picture of their Pokémon. Like, who complies vs being like “where are you, are you okay!?”

Going to Lumiose to participate in the ZA Royale... Your partner, being a professional trainer themself, sends you off with a pokemon they wanted to gift to you and a promise to attend themself as soon as they can.

Steven gifts you a shiny Beldum and sincerely hopes you will use them. If he comes to see you with a powerful, silver Metagross, he will fall even more in love somehow.

Lance asks you to train the Dratini well, trusting this experience might be well for you both. When he finally makes it over himself, he gasps at the well-trained Dragonite that stands at your side. Truly, you must be his mate with no doubt.

Emmet stares you down intensely and holds out a Joltik. He assures you that they are well bred and perfect for competitive battling. When he finally makes it over to see you with a level 100 Joltik, he is very confused. Apparently, the spider is well feared in the Royale, however.

Ingo hands off Litiwick to you with the silent request to please use them. When he comes, he is shocked to see a Chandelure that is Mega Evolved at your side. The happy trill and spin it gives makes him genuinely tear up and yell a bravo while applauding.

N holds out the Zorua the two of you had been caring for and says that they wish to go with you. He feels bad that he must finish things up in Unova, but he is shocked to see you waiting for him at the train station in Lumiose with a Zoroark that nearly tackles him.

Grimsley gifts you a Purrloin with a chuckle. He partially just wanted to mess with you a bit, but also wondered if you would come to use the pokemon's power well. Seeing you standing with a Liepard and a high rank makes him smug when he finally makes it to Kalos.

Avery hated the very idea of you going off on your own, but he unfortunately could not take time off from his gym to attend with you. So, he gifts you a Galarian Slowpoke. He simply wishes to make sure you have a reminder of him whilst you leave him behind in Galar. Though, he is both envious and impressed to see you standing with a Galarian Slowking when he finally found some time.

Guzma gets so huffy you're running off to some fancy battle thing without him, but he got tied up in a favour to Plumeria and could not go with you. Huffing, he gifts you a pokeball with Wimpod and says to not get too ahead of him. He is nearly in shock out of the station when you greet him with a Mega Evolved Golisopod. He didn't know they could that!

Child Ingo and Emmet both awkwardly cuddling their two partner pokemon and trying to ignore the flames/soul stealing and electrical shocks.

Child Cyrus sadly hiding his Rotom and braving the electrical shocks.

Child Corbeau having to down so many pecha berries due to getting poisoned by his beloved friend, Venipede.

Child Lance sleeping in a straight log position alongside his Dratini.

Child Grimsley waking up because his Purrloin decided to lay herself across his face. She is loudly purring

Child Steven happily cuddling his Beldum, completely uncaring of the cool and hard body of the pokemon.

Cuddling various men's pillows while they are out late...

Lance sees you already asleep in bed fairly often when he finally pulls away from his work, but the sight of you with your face buried into his pillow and clutching it so tightly... He immediately wishes to be in your arms instead.

Steven felt awful that a party he was invited to took so long, and he knew you would likely already be asleep by the time he made it home. Yet, the sight of you clinging to his pillow and resting your head atop it... He whines that it is his spot.

Corbeau was so huffy his job ran over long, but there was little he could do. He had hoped you would wait up on him. However, he dropped all that desire to instead see you holding his pillow like you typically held him. He finds himself slithering in to your hold without even waking you up.

Grisham felt awful that the Royale battles were just one after another— especially when you had been unable to join him. When he finally made it to his apartment, he spied you from across the room snuggled up into his pillow. He had pause and internally gush over the sight.

Grimsley kept himself out until the wee hours of the morning. He knew you would be asleep, but he had not expected that you would snuggle up to his pillow. The sight was utterly precious, yet... Well, he wanted his pillow. His head was pounding. He snatched it from your arms.

The mama posts remind me of the cute animal pics with "Let's *insert action* with mama" captions. "Let's be a batista with mama", "Let's look at gems with mama".

Litleo bravely lighting the burner that Grisham uses to boil his water.

Beldum watching Steven (carefully) assault a wall with a pick to dig out a shiny stone.

Joltik menacingly puffing up at someone littering on a train while Emmet approaches.

Litwick looking at the paperwork Ingo is reviewing on his laptop curiously.

Hoopa vibing with Lear in the treasure vault.

Meowth hissing at a Team Skull member trying to vandalise something while Nanu tiredly asks them not to.

Liepard slapping a button on a slot machine before Grimsley can.

Venipede wearing a mock pair of Corbeau's glasses and staring down someone who took a loan with the Syndicate while Corbeau casually threatens them.

Togepi holding the Fairy Plate and attempting a maniacal laugh. Volo stops doing that himself.

Dratini trying to stand tall wearing a cape and slithering after a Rocket member. Lance sighs at the sight. (Then has his Dragonite Hyper Beam them.)

Wimpod trying to be threatening alongside Guzma. Then hiding behind him when the person is too scary.

I wonder what pokemen would do zhuazhou with the kids...

Ingo could be swayed on it, and he would tear up if Erin grabbed the train he added. (Very insistent.)

Emmet does it out of curiosity. He, too, places a train. However, the girls ignore it. Emma goes after a microphone that Elesa had suggested while Inka grasps a seal. Emmet states plainly he does not know how to take that.

Corbeau would do it, too. Erabitori, more correctly. He would take it very seriously and notes what each child chooses intensely. Lupine picked a shalot, Oleander picked the sword, Galan picked money, Wisteria picked a calculator, and Lilium chose a pen. He feels these are all wonderful choices for them.

Lance, too, as a very traditional sort. The family celebrates Yuji choosing a sword. That was what Lance chose as well, drawing in more comments on the already budding resemblance. Honoka picked a microphone that Clair insisted for some modernity. No one knows how to take that one.

Steven would do it, but only with your wanting. He is not so certain about many traditional things. He places a rock in with the typical items. Naturally, Lapis grabs said rock. Steven applauds and says she continues the legacy of the Stones. You want to sigh.

Grimsley says he is curious about it, more wanting to take it as a game of chance than any real fortune ceremony. Granted, he is shocked when Morrigan crawls for the coin he put down for fortune while Nero picks up the sword. He feels a bit of dread at the implications there.

Cyrus is very uncertain and comments about the absurdity of superstition. However, he will relent under an acceptance for normalcy. Lenie crawling towards the ruler and holding it curiously makes his heart race. Something inside of him bursts with a happiness that makes him nervous. Apparently, that had been what he grabbed, too.

N would gladly experience this. He thinks it sounds like a lovely thing to gauge what interests Clover, at least. And, anything calling on fortune seems like a nice thing. Naturally, Clover takes to the grass straw on the table and holds it. He finds that absolutely adorable.

Volo is hesitant to do it, as it is an outside custom. But, he supposes he has nothing necessarily against it. Calling on his ancestors? Sure, why not. He watches the items placed before Astrea. Her crawling towards the Spooky Plate shocked him. She held it so happily that he felt himself grin. Yes, his plans could still manifest.

I'm wondering about later gen pokemon the characters might enjoy...

Ingo and Emmet would like the Carkol line. Finally, a pokemon that truly can appreciate a rail system.

Grimsley, of course, would like Kingambit. His Bisharp can become even more powerful. And she will. But, also Meowscarda. He sees himself in the pokemon.

Steven would adore Glimmora... Powerful, toxic rock that lives in caves... He loves seeing how they adapt to the ecosystem of the caverns they live in.

Lance likes the Paradox versions of the legendary Beasts. It is utterly fascinating— He knows almost certainly the legend of Ho-Oh resurrected them, so seeing these supposed versions of them from millions of years ago and also being paired with a dragon typing. He is extremely intrigued. (And would be able to tame them.)

Nanu loves any feline pokemon. He sighs when Grimsley drops a Purrloin on him but cares for it nonetheless. Alternate Meowths are also beloved. The fur on Galarian Meowths is something to behold. He enjoys it very much. But, bravely, seeing him with a Skitty curled up in his chest is the best sight.
