Main Four Family Trees

Like a year ago I started making a big family tree for this verse after Pkmn Down the Line did some (they’re on twitter and used to be on the profiles if anyone’s curious!), then promptly got distracted by something else. I got the urge to return to it, realized I now hated how it looked, so just decided to start from scratch!

To start out, I kept it simple with just the main four kids and their parents and siblings, but I definitely plan on doing more when I have the time here and there!

I think they’re pretty straight forward, the only thing I’ll mention is that the purple line means the kid (in this case Emery and Bal) is adopted.

Do you have any headcanons for Green/Red, Barry/Lucas, and Hugh/Nate?

Absolutely I do!

Green/Red

  • Green is the one who managed to get Red to come down from Mt. Silver by somehow beating him in a pokémon battle. Red was so stunned by his loss he just kind of followed Green back to civilization. This is the only time Green has ever beaten Red in a battle to this day.
  • Roy was already born when the couple visit Alola in the SuMo games and was about 10 or so months old (give or take.) And yes, they brought Roy with them! Leaf and Yellow (along with baby Amaryllis) also went to Alola and ended up having to babysit Roy a lot because of Green and Red’s frequent trips to the Battle Tree, whoops.
  • Red is technically unemployed, as he doesn’t really want to officially apply to be a professional pokémon trainer due to annoying bureaucracy. He still regularly seeks out strong people to battle with though, so his skills never go rusty and also because he thinks “stay at home dad” sounds way more boring than “Multiple Hall-of-Famer Professional Pokémon Trainer.”
  • They are a very sappy couple who like to show off how in love they are, though most of that’s Green being smug (”Look at me and my husband!”) while Red just goes along with it.
  • Green likes to think he’s a super cool dad who their sons will see as a role model but more often than not they go to Red for advice instead. Whenever this happens Green ends up pouting and needs to be comforted by his husband.

Barry/Lucas

  • A couple where people sometimes wonder how they got together due to how different they are. Definitely a very wholesome case of opposites attract.
  • Since Lucas was Rowan’s assistant, the two didn’t really meet until they were around 13 and didn’t interact much until after the events of DPPt. They met by chance at the Battle Frontier and when Lucas mentioned he wanted to improve his skills as a trainer Barry took him under his wing as a “Professional Battle Frontier Tour Guide.” Their romance blossomed fairly quickly, though Barry was pretty oblivious to his feelings while Lucas was realizing that subtle flirting wasn’t going to cut it in this case.
  • Dawn officiated their wedding and got trained to do so especially for her childhood best friend.
  • By the fankid era, Barry is a Frontier Brain like his father before him and Lucas has taken over from his mentor Rowan as Sinnoh’s regional professor, though he still has trouble getting used to being called Professor Hawthorn!
  • While they only planned on having one child, mainly due to how much of a handful Gavin was, they end up adopting Balthazar by chance due to some unexpected circumstances. Namely, Barry helps Dawn (who is Sinnoh Champion) take down a Cult of Giratina after they kidnap Dawn’s daughter, Tanith. While there, they find a boy who was raised in the cult to be a sacrifice and now has nowhere to go. The kid got attached to Barry  so one thing leads to another and he and Lucas end up with another son (Barry claims that Balthazar being blond and having a long name like him was a Sign that he was meant to be part of their family from the start.)

Nate/Hugh

  • Though Nate wasn’t the BW2 protag, he and Hugh were still childhood friends as he and Rosa are twins. They had quite a bit of romantic tension between them throughout middleschool, leading Rosa to urge them to try dating after getting fed up by hearing both her brother and best friend worry about the other’s feelings to her.
  • By the time the trio leave on their journey at 15, Nate and Hugh had been dating for about a year and a half.
  • Once it became clear that Team Plasma had returned, the two teamed up to fight them whenever they could, Nate mostly being worried about Hugh getting too angry.
  • Things reach a new level when, towards the end of their journey and when it’s looking like the final showdown with Plasma is approaching, Nate finds out he’s unexpectedly pregnant. While Nate himself is nervous due to his young age, he’s also excited and all the more motivated to defeat Plasma for the sake of his and Hugh’s child. Hugh, on the other hand, is incredibly nervous that Nate and the baby might get hurt now and ends up being rather overprotective of his boyfriend. This causes a bit of friction, but ultimately they’re able to work things out (with Rosa smoothing things over as usual whenever the two squabble.)
  • Glenn is born the summer after Ghetsis is finally defeated and Hugh and Nate stay in Aspertia for his first year or so, getting help from their parents and doing their best to raise him. At that, the two start looking for jobs so they can support their family, agreeing that whoever finds one first will take it, while the other will stay home to take care of Glenn. Hugh ends up getting unexpectedly scouted by Interpol, leading the family to move to Castelia, where they get married soon after.
  • Eventually, after Hugh gets promoted when Glenn is about 4, the family move to Opelucid to be closer to the League, which becomes their permanent home. When Glenn is about 6, they end up adopted their second child, Mindy, after her mother, Yancy, was looking for someone to adopt after she became unexpectedly pregnant. Glenn and Mindy are both handfuls but their parents love them (even if they hate each other lol)

Ash
My NOTP for them
None. I’ve seen potential in all the Ash ships I’ve seen, really.
My BROTP for them
Ash/Misty. I know PokeShipping is popular, but I prefer them as good friends rather than romantically involved – basically the same as my stance on WishfulShipping.
My OTP for them
Ash/Dawn (PearlShipping). I think this one is mainly due to how Sinnoh was when I was most into and consistently watching the anime. This is for anime!Dawn, though, I don’t ship my version of game!Dawn with Ash at all.
My second choice pairing for them
Ash/Paul (ComaShipping). Sinnoh bias strikes again, what can I say? I like the gruff antisocial guy/cheerful friendly guy dynamic. A tried and true classic.
My fluffy pairing for them
Ash/Dawn.
My angsty pairing for them
ComaShipping can be angsty I guess….. but really I can’t think of any ships I’ve seriously thought about for Ash that would be angsty.
My favorite poly ship for them
Paul/Ash/Dawn (ComakariShipping). It’s just combining my two favorite Ash ships with my two favorite anime!Dawn ships and my two favorite Paul ships. Heck, if I were to do an animeverse fankid AU this might be the canon pairing, who knows?
My weirdest pairing for them
I think both Pearl and Coma shipping are fairly popular, so none. I haven’t really seen a whole ton of the anime, so my ships for Ash (and other anime exclusive characters) tend to be fairly limited.

Iris
My NOTP for them
As I mentioned in the ask for Cilan, I’m not a huge fan of Iris/Cilan (WishfulShipping), but it’s not a ship I hate or anything, I just don’t ship it. 
My BROTP for them
Iris/Cilan. I can’t believe I forgot to mention it on the ask for Cilan but even though my AU is primarily gameverse and Cilan is part of the Shadow Triad and he and Iris never travel together…. I still hc them as being close friends (Iris is one of my Cilan’s only close friends, actually). I just feel like they (at least the interpretations of them in my AU) would have a really good dynamic.
My OTP for them
Iris/Benga (DragonHeartShipping).
My second choice pairing for them
Iris/Zinnia (PrecessionShipping). This is more of a ‘want to explore the dynamic’ ship then a serious one, but I think they’d have interesting interactions.
My fluffy pairing for them
Iris/Benga.
My angsty pairing for them
Iris/Zinnia has more angst potential than Iris/Benga.
My favorite poly ship for them
This will sound like it came out of nowhere but Hilda/Iris/Benga. Hilda/Iris (HalleyShipping) is maybe my third favorite Iris ship? Like with Iris/Zinnia, it’s mostly just a dynamic I want to explore.
My weirdest pairing for them
Hilda/Iris.

Wally
My NOTP for them
None.
My BROTP for them
Wally/May, with either protag!May or rival!May. The other one is Wally/Yellow, since I think they’d get along well.
My OTP for them
Wally/Brendan (LoveRivalShipping), with either protag!Brendan or rival!Brendan.
My second choice pairing for them
Wally/Anabel (MirrorWorldShipping).
My fluffy pairing for them
Wally/Brendan. Though special mention to Wally/Yellow (HealthShipping).
My angsty pairing for them
Probably Wally/Brendan again, though they don’t get much in the fankid AU.
My favorite poly ship for them
Brendan/Wally/Anabel (FlouriteShipping/MirrorRivalShipping).
My weirdest pairing for them

Probably Wally/Yellow, but if we’re referring to serious ships, then Wally/Anabel.

Anabel (These are for Salon Maiden Anabel, not Interpol Anabel. I don’t really ship Faller Anabel with anyone.)
My NOTP for them
I know it’s like her most popular ship nowadays, but I just can’t get behind Anabel/Looker (FallerShipping) and it’s for kind of silly reasons as well. I’ve headcanoned Looker to be game!Dawn’s dad since before SM came out, and the idea of Looker dating someone only a few years older than his daughter (not to mention I strongly ship him and Johanna already) is just kind of squicky to me. Nothing against others shipping it, these are just my silly reasons!
My BROTP for them
Anabel/Lucy. I like the idea of her being one of the antisocial Pike Queen’s few close friends. 
My OTP for them
Anabel/Wally (MirrorWorldShipping).
My second choice pairing for them
Anabel/Brendan (SafirShipping). 
My fluffy pairing for them
Anabel/Wally.
My angsty pairing for them
I guess FallerShipping (with Faller!Anabel of course) would be this for me due to the reasons I mentioned above.
My favorite poly ship for them
Brendan/Wally/Anabel (FlouriteShipping/MirrorRivalShipping). 
My weirdest pairing for them

Anabel/Brendan.

Barry
My NOTP for them
I’m not big on Barry/Dawn (TwinleafShipping) at all, but like with all the others I don’t hate it or anything. I also hc Barry and Bianca to be cousins so Barry/Bianca (HyperShipping) is out.
My BROTP for them
Barry/Dawn.
My OTP for them
Barry/Lucas (ClingyShipping).
My second choice pairing for them
I’m fond of Barry/Ursula (BoastShipping) in the anime, I think they’d make an amusing couple.
My fluffy pairing for them
Barry/Lucas.
My angsty pairing for them
None, really, but I guess Barry/Lucas as well just since they have their own rough patches in the fankid AU.
My favorite poly ship for them
Barry/Lucas/Dawn (ScarfShipping).
My weirdest pairing for them

None, I don’t think? All of the ones I mentioned are pretty popular.

Paul
My NOTP for them
I really only ship him with two people, but I don’t dislike other Paul ships I’ve seen.
My BROTP for them
Paul/game!Dawn, specifically. They are bffs in my fankid AU. Otherwise, Paul and Reggie having a good sibling relationship is always great.
My OTP for them
Paul/Ash (ComaShipping).
My second choice pairing for them
Paul/anime!Dawn (IkariShipping).
My fluffy pairing for them
Paul/Ash.
My angsty pairing for them
Maybe Paul/game!Dawn, since I can’t see them ever really working out romantically, though they might have tried.
My favorite poly ship for them
Paul/Ash/Dawn (ComakariShipping). 
My weirdest pairing for them

I read a fanfic once that had me thinking about Paul/Conway (VeilstoneShipping) of all things.

Yellow
My NOTP for them
None.
My BROTP for them
Yellow/Lance. They are cousins in my fankid AU and though they definitely didn’t start out as friends their relationship grew very close over the years (and over the course of Lance’s character development.) I’m always a sucker for enemies-to-friends.
My OTP for them
Yellow/PokeSpe!Red (SpecialShipping).
My second choice pairing for them
Yellow/game!Red (AlmostShipping).
My fluffy pairing for them
Yellow/Red (either version).
My angsty pairing for them
Yellow/Silver (ViridianShipping). Not that I think the relationship would end badly, just that it would be a more emotionally fraught one.
My favorite poly ship for them
I don’t really have one? Maybe some combination of Red/Yellow/Silver but who knows how that would work out.
My weirdest pairing for them

Yellow/Silver, but I mentioned I’ve considered Yellow/Wally before, and I think that one’s weirder.
