Reminder that Colress’s ex is still in his life and he hooked up with her fairly recently. Not while you both were dating seriously but still.

What do you think weddings are like per region? And are there religions?
The religion question is a whole other post, but weddings?
Kanto:
Weddings are fairly simple affairs in Kanto. Couples that want to go all out tend to go abroad to beaches or monuments in other regions. Although the ceremonies are usually rather quiet, Kantonians invite their closest friends to after parties that have a reputation for having lots of alcohol, music and wacky behavior. If you saw a video of a couple doing a crazy choreographed dance on their wedding day, most people would say “that must be from Kanto”.
Kanto weddings often feature:
- Arcanine imagery to represent loyalty,
- Meowths using payday like flower girls, to wish wealth towards the couple (or people/pokemon throwing coins to mimic a meowth).
Johto:
Johtonian weddings resemble traditional Japanese weddings, being held at shrines. However, they take place in two ceremonies; one during the day and one during the night. They’re short, and often there’s a small party inbetween, with the day ceremony including only very close family. Nature also takes a part; depending on the shrine, a tree sapling may be planted by the couple.
Johto weddings often feature:
- Beautiful caligraphy of the couples’ names as a gift. Writing is very important in Johto culture, as evidenced by the Ruins of Alph.
- Bellossom dancers, or other talented pokemon. A more humorous couple might get dancing Bellsprout.
Hoenn:
Hoenn weddings are most likely outdoors, and are usually like big family gatherings. The dresses and suits are bright colors, and pokemon are treated like any other guest. Flowers play a big part, often lining tables and even wedding veils.Hoenn weddings often feature:
- Dresses made to resemble Gardevoir, Milotic or Masquerain.
- Tons of fruit and berries, especially in/on the cake.
- Luvdisc-themed decor.
Sinnoh:
Typically very ceremonial. Prepare for looong, long speeches and rites. Three officials are needed to recite these, representing the trios of Sinnoh.
“With the gift of knowledge, we will learn about each other. With the gift of willpower, we will live our lives together. With the gift of emotion, we will love each other.”
Sinnoh weddings often feature:
- Gifting the couple with a pokemon egg as part of the ceremony. This is to reflect the birth of Arceus, and represents a new life as a married couple. This is organized by the preacher, who asks the families who can provide one.
- In the case that the couple doesn’t want a new pokemon (they’re moving soon, having a child, already have a lot of pokemon, etc.), an ornamental egg is used instead.
TO BE CONTINUED…?
“Okay, okay! What a friendly pup!”
Her hand disappeared into her bag before returning with a nice patterned bean. She held it out toward Eclair and made sure to tuck her fingers in in case the puppy was a little too excited to claim its treat.
( i’ve got somethin big planned... an all new muse page + the addition of a new canon muse as well as a few ocs. i’ve got 12 gremlins on this blog and i can’t believe it. might take awhile for me to actually get done with it all, but it’ll look GRAND. )
“I’d only expect an EMPLOYEE to do his own JOB!”
“But I suppose that’d be asking an awful lot of your meager intelligence, wouldn’t it? I respect that you’re hiding your idiocy by asking for my assistance in the matter. So then, Chief, where is this beast? Surely it isn’t IN the Paradise?”
Jack gave him a condescending look before rolling his eyes.
“Okay, whaaatever. Tch, you definitely SMELL like you avoid bathing. Look like it too. You’d need to be ran through a car wash to get all THAT muck off, and--”
“AHEM!”
Jack jerked his head in Ed’s direction when he cleared his throat and without further complaint nodded and went out of the room, then out of the house. Ed turned back to Shivu with an unreadable expression, but for the most part it seemed content enough.
“Anyway, why don’t you tell me a bit about yourself, Shivu? What do you like to do... who’s your family, friends, things like that?”

“Hi!”
The woman knelt down, not minding the mud. She reached out to give the Pokemon a few pats.
“Would you like a bean?”
