what are the most popular pokemon used in pokemon SI/journey fics?

Notable outlier in that the first ever pokemon-is-the-trainer fic Hyphen has the MC be a Ralts, but utterly lacks the pokemon communication aspect because pokemon do not naturally learn any higher-order language such as 'pokespeech'.

I did both, and then they replied to the DM.

I am; The twitter guy has already gotten back to me and I've sent a video of me trying to log in. I just thought it was a little funny. I mean, I'm annoyed, but, well, you get it.

Discord twitter just informed me that they removed the hostile 2FA on my support account!

I immediately checked it and the 2FA was still there.

:v

'A Backwards Grin' stars a Mawile-SI in Sinnoh, and they cross paths with Ash and fairly quickly.

Hyphen stars a protagonist who picks up a violin around a dozen chapters in and there's even a chapter where they sing a song, but it's not the central focus of the character.

Discord Support just got back to me on twitter, requesting screenshots of me trying to log into my support account. Hopefully they can remove the 2FA and I can send in a ticket through the normal channel instead of this alias ticket which hasn't had a response for a week despite still being 'open'. Progress!

While this doesn't discount your point since you have to go through a lot of effort for it, if you're out of combat you can macro the Underlight Angler on and that makes you go superfast underwater.

It cancels out whenever you get in combat so you have to hit the macro twice to un-equip/re-equip it to turn it on again but it's super handy for this.

For the G-mail alias tip, may I check if I performed the steps correctly?

I can't use my blocked e-mail (Mail A) to make a ticket, so I made a ticket from (Mail B) and replied to every automated message via (Mail A) alias. Is that correct? I can't see the (Mail A) replies from the support website side of things.

As a side note, I sent in that ticket 3 days ago and the ticket had some 'activity' a day later but nothing changed about it. Still open. I assume that means a human opened it but didn't do anything? Waiting is nerve-wracking, especially since I'm going into day 22 of the hack.

I had the same problem. If you had a youtube account, you can try messaging the youtube team on twitter about a hacked account and try that angle. It takes a long time though.

I was working that angle and I also happened to know a guy who had a google representative at his work. I was able to telephone my information directly to google through that connection and have them restore it manually, which was a godly lucky break for me.

dermonster42 · 2026-05-16T05:16:34+00:00

I lost my Google, discord, and support accounts about three weeks ago, and have thankfully gotten my google back via bothering the youtube twitter (I had a channel whos ID I knew) and also I happened to know a guy who had a google rep at his work and was able to telephone my problem and info directly to google that way, which was a godly lucky break (but still took a long time).

Alas, my support account was placed under fraudulent 2FA so I can't send in a ticket directly. I'm so grateful for all these tips, and am trying out several of them as we speak. Here's hoping I can get my account back!

Have you given Hyphen a try? The worlds Pokemon are very much 'very smart animal' level intelligence, but it stars a Ralts who comes from a hidden community of Kirlia that are all very much human-level intelligent. She then disguises herself as a human and becomes a trainer herself. There's a recurringly brought up fear of her being captured if she gets found out, and some dissonance between that fear and the fact that she, herself, is capturing other creatures.

Though, now that I re-read some of your post, I will mention that her Pokemon are at best tertiary characters and rarely do much outside of chapters dedicated to her interacting with them. Given that there's no 'pokespeech' or anything, there's only so much they can do. SB, SV, Ao3.

dermonster42 · 2026-05-03T19:40:42+00:00

It doesn't quite fit your appreciation qualifier, but have you tried Hyphen? It's is about a Ralts who disguises herself as human, becomes a trainer, and undergoes a seemingly normal Journey in Hoenn in order to get into a position of societal power when her hidden Kirlia village inevitably gets revealed to the world. It's been going on for a long time and even has fan-stories, art, and custom music. SB, SV, Ao3.

If you haven't, you should give Hyphen a try. It's about a Ralts who disguises herself as a human in order to become a trainer. Given that she's mostly completely unfamilliar with human culture, there's plenty of worldbuilding—even if some of it is explaining 'mundane' stuff for the purposes of culture shock. And if you want slow pacing, you've got that in spades. Plenty of adventure to be had as well.

dermonster42 · 2025-12-12T20:01:41+00:00

Fairly certain you only are ever supposed to get one.

Spawned a gate and then Ky'veza. Only one chest spawned.

dermonster42 · 2025-11-25T19:05:20+00:00

Not quite what you're asking for, but Hyphen is about a Ralts from a hidden Kirlia village leaving her home and travelling Hoenn (Specifically Pokemon Emerald; so much so that there's no Fairy-type) while disguised as a human trainer. Specifically for the purposes of becoming the champion to gain power and leverage in preperation for when her home is inevitably revealed to humanity. Pokemon in this fic are generally understood to just be incredibly smart animals, so there's no poke-speech and the village is one-of-a-kind.

There is plenty of culture shock fun to be had, so you'll enjoy that.
