Dot with super long hair is so pretty<3!

Also, Our Life Pokemon AU would be so interesting! (eventough I don't know much about Pokemon lol). 

Cove would definitely be a water type trainer. Baxter would probably be a psychic/poison type trainer while Derek is definitely fighting/normal type trainer. Tammy would be bug/grass type trainer and Qiu.....would probably be a dark type trainer? (it's edgy and kinda suits Qiu I guess?) anyway that's my head canon for Our Life Pokemon AU lol

LONG ASS RANT INCOMING ‼️‼️

pokemon our life au… imagine them with the z-a royale battle system rather than battling in gyms… 🤔🤔🤔

honestly i think for the olnf gang, qiu would be a very fluid kind of trainer with multiple types rather than focusing on a single one. if i had to give them a starter pokemon, i’d choose froakie, as it is described as both strong and light + being able to jump incredibly high (like a ballet dancer) as well as looking absentminded, but actually being very observant. (not to mention it eventually evolves into a greninja, which is also a quite popular pokemon.) and if not a froakie, it’d probably be a charmander— not only is it one of the most popular pokemon (if not THEE most popular), it is also a pokemon many kids would love to have, and considering qiu’s popular persona throughout the entirety of olnf, it’s only be fitting.

for tamarack, i’d say she, too, is a bit of a mix of everything, but drawn to fairy, bug and grass types. so for her starter, I’d choose a rowlet— more specifically, a rowlet from hisui/sinnoh since i think hisuian decidueye matches her colour scheme. rowlet is a sneaky and silent pokemon, being described as being able to fly through the sky without any noise and not be noticed by its opponents. this would be perfect for the first time we meet her, where she sneaks up on you mc by hiding in a pile of leaves.

now, for darren/renee, i’d choose a grookey as her starter. i do not have any reason for this other than the fact that when i looked at the national pokedex it just screamed renee. i think both her and tamarack having a grass type starter could add to the ‘beef’ they have during step 1. also, to add, since she’s older, i imagine her second pokemon might be a yamper or applin, simply ‘cause renee seems like a dog person, and again, for applin i have no reason other than that it reminded me of her.

okay so technically baxter is a more prominent character in olba, but i wanted to add him anyway since we do meet him in step 1/step 2(?). his starter was a galarian zigzagoon (cause black & white), that has already evolved into a linoone once you meet him. this is because his music taste is canonically hard rock, punk, and screamo, and I think zigzagoon and it’s evolutions reflect that style even if baxter himself doesn’t really seem like he listens to it. additionally baxter has a pancham (set to evolve soon) and a furfrou. (which was his ACTUAL starter pokemon he got from his parents, but switched out for a self-caught galarian zigzagoon.)

now, i know we meet vianca and serenity in step 2, but idgaf theyre my goats so i’ll just imagine their step 1 starters ✌️✌️ so to start with vianca, in step 2, she’s described as ‘intense but lovely’, and I like to think she’s the same in step 1, so for that, the starter i give her is fennekin; a pokemon described as temperamental, but trying to do its best for its trainer. also vianca wants to be friends with tammy in step 2 but tam’s intimidated by her… just like how grass is weak to fire… which could feed into my tamvia agenda… hop on the tamvia hopeless girlkissers train chat 😼✌️  for the types she likes, i would say fire, fighting, and ground/rock(?) maybe normal type, too.

and lastly… the goat; serenity ‼️‼️ there’s not much known about serenity on the our life wiki, but despite that, litwick just screams serenity to me. and if not litwick, maybe gible or phantump. i think serenity is most definitely a ghost/dark type, with the addition of perhaps psychic, poison, and/or dragon(?) honestly, they might just be a qiu type of situation.

okay so im stopping this rant here (even though i wanted to go to further steps w this) cause ts is getting long as hell 😭✌️ also i do not have powerscaling/strong pokemon team in mind when i do this!! these pokemon r purely based on the aesthetics and vibes they give me regarding the character im pairing them with. if there are any spelling mistakes ignore it brah ✌️
