SO since Saïx/Isa has finally surpassed 1k in comments (!!!!11) I think it is time for a questions meme! P. much anything goes, although since I am going to sleep right now I won't get to any responses until tomorrow. o7

Hmmm, there's actually two I'm looking forward to the most, for different reasons. One is Just Desserts, because I am too amused by the idea of Saïx getting back his canon weapon only for it to be a giant banana. I AM TWELVE The other is Lunar Affinity, because with it I basically unlock the occasional tweaking out that will be a good precursor for whenever he unlocks Berserker. And it'll be fun to give him something to mindlessly obsess over and give him dreams and add to his sense of longing. (And also to pretend he's a werewolf '-')
I don't actually know anything about Pokémon :( Tell me about your canon! (Well, Silver's canon, I know the older ones)

Pokémon Special is a manga series that has been running for... gosh, 14 years now. As long as the anime! It's basically a loose adaption of the games, with differnt arcs focusing on different heroes, but all taking place chronologically and within the same universe. It goes Red/Green/Blue --> Yellow --> Gold/Silver/Crystal --> Ruby/Sapphire --> Fire Red/Leaf Green --> Emerald --> Diamond/Pearl --> Platinum --> Heart Gold/Soul Silver --> Black/White. Not counting B&W about nine years has passed in canon time. It's much darker than the anime. MUCH. Interestingly, the creator of Pokémon has mentioned that of all the Pokémon media and spinoffs in existence, it's the closest to the world he was trying to represent, so go figure. I should mention that though the plots of the individual arcs are based off the various games, there's very little emphasis on gym battles and the Pokémon League. I read some of it when I was super young and recently got back into it :B
Gold/Silver/Crystal, where Silver first shows up, deals with a mysterious figure known as the Masked Man and his efforts to resurrect Team Rocket and basically mess with the fabric of space and time itself through the use of legendary Pokémon. Silver gets involved in this because he and his adoptive sister, Blue, were kidnapped at young ages by the Masked Man as part of a group of promising young trainers he wanted to make into mindless puppets. He accomplished this by forcing them to wear masks at all times and generally psychologically (and occasionally physically) terrorizing them. Silver and Blue eventually escaped after about five or six years of this, however, and now that the Masked Man has shown himself again, Silver is out for revenge. Which he hopes to accomplish by stealing a Pokémon, a Pokédex, and allying himself with a guy who tried to destroy all of humanity in the previous arc. I should mention that he is all of eleven at this time. A LOT OF STUFF HAPPENS AND THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP PREVAILS, BECAUSE THIS IS STILL POKÉMON, LUCKILY.
But yeah. That should give you a taste of how "... oh my god what" the series can get, and that's not even examining the later stuff that happens. In Aather, Silver's from the most recent arc he shows up in -- HGSS -- at which point he's sixteen and has a lot less issues. PROBABLY MORE THAN YOU NEEDED/WANTED TO KNOW.
I will... possibly edit this with a return question when I think of one, but right now I am kind ob braindead.
