Lilo and Nani: Popplio and Primarina. I want them to both be Alola native Pokemon, and part of the same evolutionary line. This pick is mostly based around Nani, who's very beautiful and is implied to have wanted to be a professional surfer before her and Lilo's parents died.
Stitch: Pikachu. I'm not explaining this.
Pleakley: Pheromosa. Unnaturally skinny, femme but not explicitly a woman, has antenna(e), obsessed with cleanliness, extraterrestrial. Also, Pheromosa is a bug-type, and Pleakley is obsessed with mosquitoes.
However that wouldn't be allowed in BCB, it's just. The perfect choice. Like insanely perfect.
Alternate BCB-acceptable options would be:
- Sudowoodo- skinny arms with three fingers, thick legs, and protrusion on head fit Pleakley's proportions, and it's pretending to be something it's not (Sudowoodo pretending to be a tree, Pleakley pretending to be a human)
- Beheeyem: Alien with three fingers who's new to (and perhaps fascinated by) Earth
- Oricorio: Form changing. That's all.
Jumba: Orbeetle, solely because of its intelligence. Jumba is a super genius, that's an important part of his character. Also, Orbeetle is made to resemble a UFO, and Jumba is an alien.
Cobra Bubbles: Mabostiff. Extremely intimidating, but wants to protect families.
Gantu: Cetitan. Gantu is a gigantic whale from a planet that's stated to be freezing cold, so a gigantic Ice-type whale is a perfect fit.
Hamsterviel: Rattata. Small rodent.
Mertle: Yungoos. Yungoos is invasive to Alola, and Mertle not being a native Hawaiian is extremely important to her character- she's an upper middle class white girl; the plot of the episode "Belle," which I recently rewatched, is that Mertle thinks Lilo is insane for believing in Hawaiian legends because they're "just silly stories."
Reuben I'm playing in BCB, he's Pawmot.
Experiment lightning round let's go
- Angel: Emolga (mostly bc Iris's Emolga from the anime)
- Bonnie & Clyde: Plusle and Minun
- Woops: Pichu (Stitch prototype who's Bad At Things)
- 627 and/or Leroy: Raichu (Improved version of Stitch)
Experiment lightning round part 2
- Ace: Marill (not technically a pikaclone but was referred to as "Pikablu" before it came out, very similar to the electric rodent archetype but different- Ace is similar to the other Stitch-alikes but was made pure good which makes him very different)
- Spooky: Ditto (shapeshifter whose natural form is goopy)
Not all the experiments would be pikaclones, just the ones clearly designed with the same Stitch base
Maybe 627 as Alolan Raichu because he was made in Hawaii while all the others were made in space?
