What is Pokeau, like actually?

^{Page last updated: January 28th, 2026}

Pokeau is a lot of things – to me at least. It’s a creative outlet, a collection of sorts, a home to come back to.

Pokeau started as something I was ashamed of, referred to as ‘my super embarrassing pokemon au’ since its original inception in 2014 with the advent of the Delta Episode – until around 2015, when the name Pokeau stuck.
There is no shame anymore. Pokeau is my world to be unapologetically self-indulgent and creative in the way I wish! As I often say – my city now.

This website is a reflection of that. It’s an archive of the past 10+ years of my creative work, as well as a place for me to experiment, ramble, or otherwise do what I want. It’s a personal passion project, one that I upkeep for no other reason than it brings me joy.

Classic Pokeau

Pokeau had a lot more of a basis in the storyline and ‘canon’ of the Pokemon gameverse before the ‘rabbit infestation’ started around 2022. This branch of Pokeau, referred to Classic, is generally on indefinite hiatus. It’s a definitely a sore subject with myself and I’m not entirely done mourning it, even if she’s only resting.
It’s a mix of fractured feelings towards the franchise and its fanbase, as well as just… even though postgame exists, I think when I wrote the endgame, it was the end of the story I wanted to tell.

For this reason, many of the Classic Pokeau resources may use much older site layouts or have much, much older writing and artwork. But I still implore the curious to look into it and enjoy it if you find it enjoyable – she may be resting, but that doesn’t mean her hard work is a waste.

It’s a story of family, friendship, and defying the odds of reality with loved ones at your side – with a side of magical girls?

Ultra Arc

In 2022, I was feeling disgruntled and conflicted about Pokemon and the fanbase because of social media. So, I took an offhand chance, and experimented with characters and settings I normally wouldn’t… an experimental, single arc in Ultra Space.
Its, uh, not just a single arc anymore…

While the name Pokeau has more than stuck at this point, Ultra Arc is its own thing at this point, practically. While the Gen7 canon of Ultra Space provided the basis, I ran with and expanded on it with a sense of unabashed self indulgence. Crazy biology, catgirls, and a lot more metaphors for mania lie ahead here.
The focus of Ultra Arc varies wildly depending on what arc, story, sidestory, or otherwise is honed in on, but generally – the overarching theme of the story is one of hope. Of breaking the cycle, of intrigue and espionage, and finding home in strange places.

Because Ultra Arc started when I was already an adult as opposed to a depressed teen, it generally has more mature or nuanced themes. That said… my backlog of writing to be done for Ultra Arc is kind of embarrassing. Between a depressive episode and further education, I haven’t had as much time to serialize Ultra Arc as I have with Classic. Combined with how its very much still active and growing constantly, info about it will largely be WIP, messy, or outright incomplete.
