Serene/Calem

ORAS May/Brendan

Selene/Elio

Ailey/Ray (Same as SM's but USUM promo material used different names)

Gloria/Victor

Akari/Rei

Juliana/Florian

Harmony/Paxton

I really like that we're having older protagonists again in Legends, tho of the modern protagonists, Calem and Serena are my favorites! I also really like the outfits and energy of USUM's protagonists in their standard art, they're really cute and look so excited to explore Alola! 🥺

My least favorites are Juliana and Florian for pretty obvious reasons (dorky and bland in their base outfits and you can't escape it unless you buy the DLC for more clothing options), and ORAS Brendan and May. RS Brendan used to be my favorite protagonist design, I always thought he had dyed white hair until literally high school (when I first read the manga) and I thought his outfit was cool.

I don't like that ORAS got rid of his hat's ambiguity, and I don't like the look of the wetsuit shirt, tho I do realize it makes more sense for Hoenn's climate and how often we're travelling over water in that game. I also think May looks too stick-thin and awkward in her base ORAS art, her proportions in the Gen3 games look more natural imo. (Her sporty look was also really cool in RSE.) They're also both really starey in Pokemon Masters and their base game art, and it's kinda unsettling.

And finally, to cap off the Pokémon protagonist pixel posting, here’s some overworld sprites! Kanto thru Sinnoh are in the Gen 4 style, Unova thru Galar are in Gen 5 style. Ray/Ailey are separated from Elio/Selene, and there’s a couple alt sprites in there.

They’re all based on my headcanon versions of the protagonists, and I might make posts explaining all about them in the future!

Here’s some OCs too, based on unreleased/beta characters:

[Id: A two panel digital comic of Blue Oak and Trainer Moon from the games Pokemon Sun and Moon drawn in the "Tails Gets Trolled" style, which involves thin and shaky linework. The first panel shows Blue Oak from around the chin up looking down to the side as he frowns and says "moon wake up! you fucked up big time!". An important thing to note is that he is drawn with no ears. The next and last panel shows Moon from the neck up lying down on grass, with their face being drawn sideways. They look up in apprehension as they say "Blue". End id]

I was going to give you context but nevermind actually. Enjoy this.

[Id: Two transmasc flags colourpicked from official art of the girl protagonist and Rowlet from the games Pokemon Sun and Moon. The first flag has the art over it, whilst the second is just the plain colourpicked flag. End id]

Jumbled Mess: an Ailey focused doujinshi, where she is a childhood friend of Selene, but when she meets her again in Alola, finds that she seems to have another friend in Lillie. A short but sweet Ailey x Selene (x Lillie).

With Hilda of course! Even though I’m not Unovan, Alola is part of the same sector of regions as Unova, so we all celebrate 4th of July together!

I hope everyone has a fun and safe 4th of July today!!!
