    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

    I’d give Johnny a revaroom it’s literally a sentient engine, Ember I’ve got something a little different in mind: I’ll keep the amped toxtricty because look at it it might as well be an ace for her, But replace Chandalure for a skeladirge as it’s literally called the singer Pokémon and according to it’s entry in Violet: “skeledirgie’s gentle singing soothes the souls of all who hear it. *It burns its enemies to a crisp flames of over 5400 degrees F*.” The contrast between it the Pokémon in that and the false sense of security is perfect for her as she’s in a way a siren who lure sailors to their demise with their singing. I’d also give her a rillaboom because it’s a drummer and you can’t have a band without a drummer. As well as a hypno representing her mind control power. And a bannete as according to its entries in various games: stating that it was once a toy that was abandoned by its trainer, but became a Pokémon (despite it being a evolution of shuppet) and given the implications of the song, ember was abandoned like a toy and her hatred into a ghost was like it becoming a bannete. Also a Noivern because it’s literally called the sound-wave Pokémon. Also as for your last video, I’d throw in two dragons for vald and Danny, Danny would have a dragapult and vald would have hidregon for a couple of reasons. 1. They are both dragon types to represent their rivalry 2. They’re both psudo legends and are well known throughout competitive 3. The contrast between typing: dispite being dragons, hidregon is a dark type and dragapult is a ghost type, and since vlad has proven to be much stronger than Danny thanks to his extended years as a ghost, it only makes sense to give him a Pokémon that is strong against ghost types. Plus hidregon is literally called the *Brutal* Pokémon and vlad would basically have a Pokémon that represents his bitterness and hatred, plus it’s not the first time we’ve seen a villain with hidregon (*cough* *cough* Ghestis *cough* *cough*)

    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.

    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.

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).
