@whats-ahead did a really interesting post a while back about what their fankids would be like if their AU was Gameverse rather than Animeverse and then that got me thinking about doing the same for L&L. Since this AU is mainly Gameverse, however, I did the opposite – What if L&L followed the anime rather than the games and only included characters that appear in the anime? I only really thought about it for the kids of major anime characters though since I feel like kids of two gym leaders or whatever wouldn’t change as much.

• Roy and Sage would be Ash and Gary’s kids. I don’t think their personalities would change much, though I can see Sage being more outgoing and not put on a serious front as much, since he’d be taking cues from Ash rather than Red. 
• Brock, Misty, and Tracey’s families would be exactly the same.
• As would Jessie and James’s, but they’d live in Kanto or Johto instead of Unova and wouldn’t still be partially involved in crime. So the kids would be probably be more law-abiding overall as well (which is a tragedy for Jules’s career as a sexy big city jewel thief… or is it?)
• Renato and Celeste would be Lyra and Khoury’s kids and that’s weird to think about since it would mean they wouldn’t have red hair…
• May, Drew and Harley are probably all dating each other since I can’t break up Drew and Harley but also Lisia doesn’t exist in the anime so. I can see May and Drew being married and then Harley just is there sometimes. He’s still living on his own and Brooke still attaches herself to him. And then they just have five kids. RIP.
• Neither Wally nor Brendan show up significantly in the anime, so idk if Anabel has four kids or what. I didn’t think about this one as much. I want Rhys to exist though since Levi deserves it.
• Emery, Tanith, and Morgan are all siblings and Dawn and Paul’s children. Emery’s backstory is the same though, so she’s Paul’s kid from a fling he got saddled with and then he and Dawn get to know each other/fall for each other when she ends up babysitting Emery for him. Tanith might be Dawn’s kid from a previous relationship or she might be Dawn and Paul’s and they just get together sooner than he and Ash do in “canon” idk.
• Gavin is Barry and Ursula’s son which means Taffeta is his sister (she’s still adopted) so RIP to him. Balthazar is their bio child since his backstory doesn’t fit anymore.
• N still has Euphie and Tipha, but he’s a single father. 
• Oliver is Penelope’s brother (so he’s Trip and Vergil’s son.)
• Sieg (who I kind of want to rename tbh), Bryn, and Cori are all siblings and Cilan and Burgundy’s kids.
• Does Iris have six kids as a single mother? Probably not. I can see her with Cypress, Jasmine, and Clementine though.
• Laurel and Poppy are Georgia’s adopted kids/wards/students who she took in “by accident” so she could “train them to take down Iris’s kids” and pretends to not care about but she secretly does deep down.
• I can’t think of any good reason for Chili/Korrina and Cress/Jasmine to *not* work in animeverse since they could just travel to other regions, so they’re still together. Ginger probably doesn’t exist so Chili and Korrina have Acacia instead (along with Anise of course).
• Blake, Gwennie, Kirsten, and Hallie are now all Bianca and Stephan’s kids because they deserve a big happy family.
• Aurélie, Edmund, Odette, and Zémire are now Serena and Shauna’s kids.
• Xavier, Yvon, Eli, and Marianne are now Trevor and Tierno’s kids.
• Basile has the same parentage and is now Clemont and Lilia’s adopted son. They also have Verbena.
• And then who even knows with Alola I didn’t keep up with the anime there.
