felt like doodling some sinnoh redesigns today! ( i sketched the cheryl one on a notepad at work. )

#cheryl and rika are the green lesbian cousins of all time #they're on different ends of the butch femme spectrum. also both trans.#trust me my dad is mr. gamefreak himself #heading to bed now bc i got work in the morning aaa #pokemon #pokemon diamond and pearl #pokemon platinum #pokemon dppt #pkmn dppt #pokemon cheryl #stat trainer cheryl #pokemon marley #stat trainer marley #pokemon redesigns #character redesign #character design #🎨 : mj draws

besides legends arceus causing the whole "oh riley is actually really old (and at one point went by rye)" braincell it also led to other Fun Ideas about ancestry and dealing with who people expect you to be contrasting with who you really are :) especially with marley's japanese name (mai) becoming the english name for her ancestor and thus joining rye in being the stat trainer ancestors who share the same name origin as their present-day descendants/selves :) :) (also they were specifically made a team in the BDSP battle tower which might not mean much but i'm thinking about it now anyway)

Hi I kept meaning to ask you: do you have headcanons around Marley's family at all?

TBH, I’ve been kinda dancing around making any specific statements about them in my headcanon posts because I haven’t quite nailed down any concrete specific ideas for them. It’s clear they’re less-than-stellar parents, considering Marley’s wandering around in Route 224 trying to escape her current situation and potentially find the mythical Shaymin. Specifically, she mentions appreciating that it ‘conveys gratitude without the use of words’, which alongside her preference for speaking as briefly and carefully as possible doesn’t bode well for how her conversations with her parents usually go.

Overall I’d say they’re a similar sort of Abusive/Absent Rich Parents type as, for example, the Nothwests in Gravity Falls, the Blights in The Owl House, or the Schnees in RWBY. The tricky part is figuring out where exactly they get their massive amount of wealth from. Marley’s Pokemon Masters interactions don’t yield any information about her backstory, mostly focusing on her social anxiety and fear of being alone. (She does, however, have some fun interactions with Elesa and Marnie, seeking to learn from the former’s confidence and empathizing with the latter’s inability to smile naturally.) If I had to guess, I’d say that her parents are probably involved in the fashion/cosmetic industry, especially in regards to Pokemon Contest outfits and props. That would certainly contribute to her “seen but not heard” upbringing, and why they’d mostly live in Sinnoh with a summer home in Unova. Maybe one parent is a fashion designer and the other handles the business and distribution side of things.
