I’m doing the 150 pokémon for my first 150 FA watchers.
As the spring of 2018 went on, I was angry at myself for the pay cut. I knew the salary wasn’t stable! (Don’t ask me how I knew) I shouldn’t have spent the money in winter, I should have saved it! Saved it for what though? Probably for the very things I did buy. I then became angry at myself for not having applied for the job sooner (to have an emergency fund built up) but the truth is: I had! They just told me to “try again on this date” (which I did because I couldn’t find anything else). There was nothing I could have done differently. And no “other” job I could just dump this one for.
But these thoughts wasted away the days. Days I could’ve spent arting and uploading. Still, people watched.

  LuckyTheRaccoon
Lucky is an adorable little raccoon who was a dedicated photographer back when he watched me on March 27, 2018. Unfortunately, I don’t know much else about him, so for his picture, I’m falling back to my old standby of finding out what trainers train his assigned Pokémon. The answer is Channelers, but all channelers are female. The true male version, the Sage, wouldn’t appear until Gen 2 (though ironically, only one trains Gastly in the whole game), so I have dressed him in the clothes of a Gen 2 sage but in the pose of a Gen 1 channeler.
^{I wasn’t sure about keeping the hat. I knew I wanted to keep the gohei (yes that’s the stick and yes I looked it up specifically for this) but I wasn’t sure if the hat counted as part of the dress (and hence substitutable with the Sage’s shaved head) or as part of the “channeling implements” (i.e. can you have a gohei without the hat? I don’t know!) In the end I left it at the last second because I thought it would be easier to draw than either a full head of hair or a shaved head. I was very worried throughout on not making Lucky look “too female” which is why I hesitated a lot on the sleeves and hem of the robes. Having the tail poke out from under the robes rather than implying a tail hole was also a last-second decision: I prefer drawing non-adapted clothes when I can and thought this was the perfect chance to show it. Gastly taking on the same expression as his trainer was just to follow what I feel is a pattern I’ve been creating, though it looks inadvertedly hilarious.}

  MarblesBravetail
It turns out that little girl from my rattata sketch outgrew her name… and gender… to become Marbles Bravetail.
I really wanted to play on that “outgrown” idea and do Agatha of the Elite 4, but that was before I found out they were trans (and I only found this out because I found their new twitter account after trying different keywords in the twitter advanced search for three days – not counting the time when I searched for the rattata sketch!)
There was only one male trainer I could think of that could compare to Agatha, and that was Morty. Sure, he’s Gen 2, but after my A Bugs Life -style “Cripes, she’s a guy!” moment, that really didn’t feel like an excuse.
^{Had trouble here with the eyes and the hands, though I think that's obvious. Morty's sprite is kind of weird like that and the translation to anthro was... not direct, and trying to follow the suit of "pokémon does the same expression as its trainer" only made it harder!}

  DJWhiteWolfx
When he watched me, surprisingly, he was actually a white wolf named DJ! Most of his gallery is filled with muscle art, which reminded me that normal-type attacks have no effect on ghost types, so here he is failing to spar with Gengar.
The clothes are, paradoxically, taken from the Gen 1 Psychic (a trainer class that really should know better). Psychics, though, don’t train Gengar until Gen 4. I guess DJ is only a psychic in training, even if he prefers more... real-world training methods
^{First I thought the hardest thing here would be making the punch go right through Gengar (phyiscal attacks have no effect on ghost types). Then I thought it would be angling the feet. The challenge was surprising: it was the psychic's coat!}

As with the twitter sketches, if you want yours colored, or if you want me to edit you in to somebody else's, I'll happily do it for $5 (not counting shading)
