Lady, EVOLVED 
i want to read stories about the pokémon protagonists where they are NOT self-inserts (never gonna happen)
to be clear i have no problem with pokémon self-insert fic but you shouldn’t pretend your self-insert is the canon character; have more creativity than that
but i DO want to read about the 11 year old girl who caught rayquaza and flew into space and because best friends with a dragon girl, in a non-self-inserty way
@Lady that was the first and only polygonal-era pokemon generation game I finished and ngl I didn't know that character had a default name
in looking her up I discovered there's a male counterpart too. huh
sword and shield was the closest pokémon fandom got to this but that’s mostly because people loved being horny about gloria
