This isn't a roleplay account I just chose this name for the novelty of having it. You can call me BackSet (or Zinnia, if you want) and I love Pokemon, in particular ORAS. I'm an adult.

Anyone here wanna hear about my "glitch city as a pokemon region" au?

Ok I got one request so lets go!

Pokemon already has a lot of weirdness and this au is based on ultraspace, with glitch city being a kind of "inferaspace" instead. It's basically the universe's heatsink, and while characters constantly use code-based lingo for this and the stuff is based on code, all the glitching is Actually a side effect of the fact the laws of physics gets bent in absurd ways in a place like this. 'Generating' things from 'above' (the regular pokemon world) due to entropy breaking a bit and dropping random 'tiles' in place, pokemon adapted to the high-energy environment by being able to release energy in extremely absurd ways, and of course an ecosystem that is completely different from any normal region from the generation including Food and making it much easier to get food from the environment than the pokemon that are all primed to blow up in surprising ways.

Things obviously cannot work like this irl and some scientific terms are absolutely misused here, but the pokemon world has weird things happening at all times anyway so I think I get a pass.

Anyway, humans have an amazing tendency to be able to live Anywhere, and that includes here. there is a population of people in glitch city that have carved out areas for towns and navigate the region by air, as it is quite literally impossible to get anywhere on foot. The towns stay together basically from sheer willpower (areas observed don't 'regen' so by having enough people in an area it effectively 'freezes' the area, allowing actual towns to be a thing).

The region, while having some familiar things, has a culture not seen in other regions often. I tend to characterize the people there as having an innocent nature, and a tendency towards playground rumor gossip, storytelling, and charity. People from other regions might see their behavior as immature and child-like, but in reality these people Are as capable as people from any other region, and the charity and friendliness is actually an adaption to Just How Dangerous the region is: you can just crash at anyone's place for the night because navigating at night is dangerous and potentially deadly if you get lost. Rituals are real, so playground-like rumors are a result of this focus on ritual.

Also, glitch pokemon are normal pokemon and Missingno is the region's common normal type, so capitalism isn't exactly an option for the region, so sharing resources and trading items is common.

Sadly, the above innocence and constant friendliness means they Can be taken advantage of by outsiders, and in a big RP I am in this resulted in an evil team situation they Could Not Deal With that nearly killed everyone, resulting in long-term trauma for the people of the region, but that is Still developing so I can talk more about this later :P
