Renewedverse ideas: Latias · 9:14am Aug 15th, 2018
First of all, this hypothetical "Renewedverse" needs a permanent name. Any ideas? "A New World, A New Way" is a contraction of a line from Pokémon Johto, so maybe I could base the title on another Pokémon theme song? It also has a word - Way - that frequently gets slotted out in side-story titles.
...But maybe I'm being over-ambitious. Zeus didn't plan for a verse.
Anyway, last night and this morning, I came up with an arc for the character of Latias in the Renewedvese, after reading chapters of A New Game that she appeared in.
The idea is that on the same day the Pokémon arrive, a mysterious red-and-white pegasus mare with a blue triangle for a cutie mark appears in Ponyville, going by the name of either Alto Mare or High Skies. The protagonists of the story meet her, and a few days later it turns out that - surprise, surprise - she's Latias. She explains that after the Pokémon arrived, she turned invisible and observed ponies for a bit, before using an illusion to fit in with them. At the climax, she's outraged by what Arceus did (she didn't know the full story; the legendaries in the Renewedverse won't be as close-knit as in the Newverse), and decides to abandon him.
...Problem is, the mystery aspect would be completely spoiled by these blog posts, or by knowing anything about the Newverse. Also, I'm not confident enough to write any canon My Little Pony character, since I'm only a casual fan.
So... what do you think?
