==========================================================
So, in the last several months, I've FINALLY gotten around to watching Steven Universe for the first time, and I have to say, I kinda regret having waited so long to do so. In spite of its flaws and shortcomings (some of which could fairly be blamed on corporate meddling by Cartoon Network, I'm sure), it's an incredible piece of media that has some AMAZING music, well-written and layered characters, and some great action scenes, not to mention it's one of those shows that makes an honest attempt to tackle some mature subjects.
Anyway, given that it's Pride Month, and this show has become one of those quintessential pieces of queer media (which, as a nonbinary bisexual person myself, I'm always looking for more of), so now's as good a time as any to bring Steven Universe into the "What If...?" series!
So, gather up your space rock friends and order some square pizza, as I tell you what I think it'd be like if Steven Universe characters were Pokémon Trainers!

    Hey, everybody, welcome to this new video putting together Pokemon teams for some of the characters from Steven Universe! LIke I said in the intro, this show has become one of my new favorites, so I've been meaning to do this "What If...?" for a good bit now. Hopefully you like it! (Also sorry that I got this up a few hours later than intended, I maaaay have overslept, haha) I'm hoping to get another video going somewhere in the next couple of weeks to start off the month of July, but we'll see how that goes. I'll keep everybody posted over on Twitter, as per usual, but I've definitely got some ideas as to what that'll be. Hope you've all had a lovely June, and Happy Pride Month to my fellow gaymers! At any rate, DRINK WATER.

    One Pokemon that could work as an extra for Steven would be Skeledirge, given that it soothes aggression with its songs (Funnily enough, this series is what inspired the nickname for my own Skeledirge, Chille & Tid, Tid being the fire bird). For a second go around, Connie, Greg, Lapis, and Peridot come to mind. It still tickles me how this show was the first time I ever heard Sarah Stiles, only for her to crop up years later with a very similar voice in my latest hyperfixation (I am absolute Hazbin trash, with an all consuming crush on "the big boss of hell himself". Someone help me)

    I feel like steven should get diance in his team, because it is royalty and has pink diamonds in its body and also produces them, also in diance's movie she goes out of her kingdom to fix an issue and after a journey with the Protagonists (ash and friends) , she fixes the issue, although the similary is very loose to rose's story i think it still valid, considering both left their kingdoms/empires and later cameback to fix it. Must i must admit, she is way more fitting to be in a pink diamond/rose pokemon team than in stevens, like how pink compressed dirt into fake gem shards simillar to diance producing diamonds out of carbon in the atmosphere, with of them using their hands to do so. Edit:i know steven fixed the gem empire issues and not rose but its Technically the same gem though not the same person.

    Yay, you got it up during Pride Month! Steven Universe has been in my TV backlog practically since it premiered (and especially after I found all the "Stronger than You" covers and parodies; I even wrote one for my own fantasy series). I'd been moving it up the priority list since you started watching it, and this just pushed it up even higher. Also, I love the use of the Undertale Ruins music for Pearl's team segment; very fitting choice.

    @@LeahLovesNature Thank you! I always like when people notice the deliberate music choices during these character segments when I do a "What If...?", and for this one, I really tried to stick with themes with instruments that each character is actually directly associated with in SU itself. And obviously with Pearl, it not only fit to use the Ruins theme because of the piano, but also because Toriel is kind of the same role for the MC in Undertale as Pearl is for Steven, a mother-like mentor (though I'm sure you, of all people, had already caught that, haha).

    if i may make a suggestion, mayhaps florges would be an apt pokemon for steven to have since they basically have flowers merge with their bodies as endosymbionts upon evolution. as for other characters, I really want jasper to get some more limelight after the future finale. my first thought would to be to give her an infernape to parallel her team with garnets emboar (both are chinese fire-fighting starters), as well as an annihilape since i imagine she would appreciate the ability to come back from the dead via willpower alone. also, maybe a lucario who's trying to keep her in check by making sure her aura reads as the minimal amount of angry possible. for a 4th pokemon, i would suggest flamigo, with the reason being either jasper was drawn to a flamingo's ability to persist in environs hostile to even gems (seriously look it up) or their ability to coordinate themselves reminding her of the tactical acumen of both sides during the rebellion real quick lightning round for others.... connie would have a kingambit because she's both a swordwoman, a bit of nerd, and has some political ambitions peridot would have an orbeetle cuz of holllywood aliens and the peri-drones, as well as being a sort of analyst for the crystal gems (she would totally use her drones to extend this guys reach) lapis would have either a lunatone or a clefairy, though might scoff at having a water-type (maybe gyarados since they coulld both relate to being helpless at one point?) finally, bismuth would have a conkledurr, enough said.

    Steven could also have a Cubone because of literally bearing a part of their deceased mothers and a Blissey because of the pink healer with a remarkable item on the belly. Spinel could also have a Beheeyem. I imagine might use this alien Pokémon to erase the memories of others. If I were to give them specific pokémon (not a species, but the individual pokémon, a character that is a pokémon) I kinda think... [anipoké spoilers ahead] Amethyst deserved to meet Mewtwo. Both of them embody Purple "I've never asked to be made" (and artificially with problems to others) trauma. Spinel deserved to meet Ash's Gengar. He was also fooled by his old owner (who has pink hair and told it to stand still to get rid of it)

    Oh I wish. But there's still nowhere near female convenient as Monster Girl canon series. I'll start with Monster Musume 1st. And like you said........ SPOILER ALERT!!! Miia is a 1st red Lamia that is easier to start. So being snake-like that is vulnerable to cold environments, it'll obviously be Serperior. Scrafty's also a good example with her shedding skin. A Shiny Gyarados is too obvious for her anger against male creeps and other Monster Girls. Lastly, there is no way her ace isn't a Garbodor. Since her cooking skill running-gag is just poisonous. Centorea Shianus is one of those centaurs who will take this seriously and very skilled at weaponry. So her best options are Decidueye, Aegislash, Rapidash, and Paldean Tauros (Combat Breed) All Harpies are pure and cheerful on their child-like appearance. And Papi is no exception. As such, her flying examples are Cramorant, Yanmega, Gliscor, and Talonflame Now Suu on the jelly hand, this adorable slime girl has poke-pals that can absorb water and immune to poison. Such as Goodra, Clodsire, and a gargantuan Alpha Snorlax! Oh, and there's also Beheeyem to reflect Suu's mind-reading and voice-mimicry skills Meroune Lorelei is one fishy individual to deal with. Even though she's skills really reflects both Primarina, Slowbro, Milotic, and Lapras Rachnera Arachnera is one of those individuals that does make fans not having an arachnophobia for many years. So her 4 partners are Ariados, Galvantula, Araquanid, and Spidops Lala is likely a death's commissioner. That being said, her reaping Pokemons are Dusknoir and Ceruledge. Plus, like Steven Universe's Spinel, Lala also has Scyther and Blacephalon just to be justified as a mixture between a Grim Reaper and a stereotypical Dullahan And don't worry, when the time is right, I'll get to Monster Girl Doctor as part 2
