Been getting really into Pokémon again lately, and considering the newest game takes place in the Pokémon equivalent of the UK (Galar), this idea came to mind.
Northen Ireland - Walrein and Hattrem
Scotland - Lapras (Nessie) and Galar Rapidash
Whales - Charizard and Wooloo (New Zealand)
England - Vespiquen (Elizabeth) and Yamper
Maybe I should draw the other countries who have Pokémon regions based off them too (Kalos - France, Alola and Unova - US, Hoenn Sinnoh Johto and Kanto - Japan) sometime later. What Pokémon would they have?
There actually is a Pakistani TV show called "Burqa Avenger", featuring a burqa-clad ninja who fights evil people that try to prevent girls from going to school.

I wanted to give Northern Ireland a seal Pokémon, since seals are native to Ireland, and Walrein evolves from a Pokémon based on a seal. But I didn't want to give Northern Ireland two unevolved Pokémon.
While I didn't draw that here, I'd also like to think each of the UK characters have a tough water type able to learn surf, because island nation and also the Royal Navy. Scotland has Lapras (because Loch Ness monster), Northern Ireland has Walrein, Wales has a Gyarados (I wanted Wales to have mostly dragon-like Pokémon), and England has a Milotic (because posh). Maybe I should draw that.
I choose Hattrem because it's a forest witch, and made me think of old Celtic mythology. I also wanted each character to have one less intimidating looking Pokémon as more of a companion than a fighter.
Woah, long explanation. But oh well ^^'
@Yeehaw0 England having a Yamper is a reference to him own a corgi in the comics Was he attacked by a stripper and also corgies being Queen Elizabeth's favorite dog
@AmericanButterfly
........ figured it would've been family pet, and *technically* she's queen of the UK as a whole, but since England often represents the whole of the UK, I'll take it
@Yeehaw0 I really wish humon made a UK/Britain character, that could be like what King Europe is plus there could be a funny running gag of other characters mistaking Britian for England
@AmericanButterfly
But they've already expressed that England owns a union Jack shirt....... It would undo countless comics portraying England as the UK as a whole. I would love a UK, but he would mess up the canon. I always wished that he would be an anime style combining between England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
Sister America will have Lillipup to represent Ottowa and Mimikyu to represent her friendship with sister Japan, I could've gone with aloha Raichu but I rather her have an original pokemon besides a remake, plus Mimikyu is cute
Brother America will have Braviary and Lycanroc
(I pick one pokemon from Alola and one from Unova)
Australia will have Krokorok and Dodrio
Sister Australia: Komala and Kangaskhan
France: Sylveon and Furfrou
Brother France: Sliggoo and Froakie
Canada: Abamasmow and Bidoof
Sister Canada: Glaceon and Teddiursa
Mexico: Ludicolo and Hawlucha
Japan: Voltorb and Tyranitar
Sister Japan: Pikachu and Eevee
Pikachu to go with Sister America's Mimikyu
