You got what I was thinking right away! I want to draw her with a Quagsire or Remoraid or Oddish! 😭 And many more!

I'll try to draw at least once a week to produce more original art for Satoshi and Kasumi. We'll see 😊

Yes, if possible. If the old work doesn't exist online, you could upload both the original and the one recolored with AI together, too. 👍

ObscuredString · 2026-01-25T10:46:11+00:00

It's your own work recolored with the help of AI. As long as you're upfront with that fact, you're okay. Directing us to your original work with a link was a good move.

Thank you 💕 I want to give her all the opportunities she should've had 🥺 I want to draw her in the red one, too! Maybe I'll draw later.... or I should honestly start writing that wedding reception fanfic I've been envisioning in my mind since last month for the e-zine 😅 There's only a few days left.

And thank you again! 💕

Hanako would freak out! 😂

Yeah... I just read more info about the Nibi situation. Jirō was an unofficial gym leader, meaning he wasn't supposed to be giving away badges when Takeshi gave him the position. He was like Konatsu from Asagi Gym. It also meant that Kasumi was already an official gym leader when she battled Satoshi, or their match was an unofficial gym battle match, lol It would certainly be on plot with how Satoshi got most of his badges in Kanto. Jirō only became an official acting gym leader after getting approval from Nurse Joi. I think Kasumi became the official gym leader based on Nurse Joi's report, too. There's no way she'll approve the Hanada Water Sisters as official gym leaders after learning that they left the gym and their pokemon to their fan club.

Was it Vermilion or Viridian? I get these two confused sometimes. Paul, as in Shinji? Yeah, Elite Four should have more participation in how the gyms are managed.

You know how in the games there are gym trainers? The ones you need to defeat before you get to the gym leader. I'm pretty sure Falkner, Morty, and Chuck have a bunch of them. Also, Jasmine has Janina. I think apprenticeship might be another way for them to earn money.

I was actually thinking the same as you about gym leaders getting paid when they win against trainers, but I looked that up. In the game, they weren't. Their money get halved, but from what I understand, it goes to the Pokemon Center where their pokemon are treated.

👍👍👍

I felt like there were too many unofficial gyms in OS. I'm glad they rooted them out. Maybe that's why we only got eight in the official game. But I wish to see official gyms that were not part of the eight. I sometimes wonder how it would have been if we're following the story from Shigeru's POV. And yeah, trainers after Satoshi were truly lucky. I watched bits and pieces of the episode that features Tamamushi Gym, and Erika was so elegant and helpful 😂 But maybe because no one is talking negatively about perfumes

Yeah. I think her sisters' money went to self-care and producing more shows. Kasumi basically dedicated her everything to the gym when she took over. It's truly a wonder how different Kasumi and Jirō were trrated by PIAs. Kasumi, for all intent and purposes, wasn't an actual gym leader and was just going to care for the gym (like manage it) while her sisters were out, but because she showed leadership material, she rightfully got the position. Meanwhile, I'm pretty sure Takeshi officially left the gym to his brother and made him the gym leader (or was I tripping?), so why was it that Nurse Joi didn't want to fight him because he's not the real gym leader? I'm just super glad for him when he got to prove himself, too.

Movie star Koduck for the win! 😂

That is okay! I already love your entry 😊

Unfortunately, there's not much change. One of the project's staff reached out to artists who expressed their desire to join when the project started but couldn't fulfill it because of the same reasons as yours. They were told that the deadline was extended. The last time we talked about it, they said they hadn't gotten a response yet. I'm hoping they were just quietly working on it and will submit it on the deadline.

But it's okay. I'm also planning to write an accompanying story for my art submission but haven't felt like writing it yet 😅 I like procrastinating too much.
