Your plush is actually part of my shrine now! This is just a slightly older picture

I am also completely Normal

I am raising funds to create survival stipends for Native activists and organizers who are struggling to make ends meet. Indigenous organizers often neglect their own needs for the sake of their communities. You can support them by donating here.

USA/Usually China, but occasionally Australia

Normally don’t ship this but this art is making me go

Finally, Snorlax. He was actually the last one I decided on. Originally I was going to give Luffy a Machamp but switched it last second. Snorlax is probably the only Pokemon with an appetite that matches Luffy's and Luffy become very
"Snorlax-shaped"after a big meal

Ambipom. This one is pretty simple! I knew I wanted to give Luffy a monkey Pokemon, and out of the handful that exist, Ambipom just fit with Luffy’s vibe the best, being the silliest!

Talonflame. This is specifically a reference to Luffy’s post time skip move Gomu Gomu no Red Hawk, which is actually one of my favorites and I’m so sad he doesn’t use it more often! In my mind, this Talonflame was originally Ace’s Pokemon that Luffy took on after his death.

Hawlucha. Hawluchas are based off Mexican luchadors! While Luffy is technically Brazilian, his live action actor Iñaki Godoy is Mexican (like me!) and I thought this Pokemon would be fun reference to that. Plus I think Luffy would find it cool.

Heracross. It has been a minor running gag throughout the series that Luffy LOVES horned beetles. So it felt very fitting to give Luffy the horned beetle Pokemon

Firstly, Pikachu! This guy is one of those ~vibe~ Pokemon. Pikachu has a lot of “main character energy” being Ash’s main Pokemon in the anime and the brand’s mascot Pokemon. I also thought it would be funny for Luffy to have an electric Pokemon he’s immune to. Artistic rendition:

(Btw for context, this would basically be set in the world of One Piece but with Pokemon, so all characters still have their devil fruit abilities just. Because I wanted to)
(Also maybe because I didn’t want to design Pokemon themed outfits.)
