A fun little idea I spent way too long making because of real life stuff getting in the way.
I haven't watched pokemon anime or played the games (except Sword), but there are my thoughts on Gardevoir crests and some lore. I was inspired to make this by how games, figures and anime show severeal different crest shapes (games have the Standard shape with sharp tips and are oval from the front, figures often have Blunt crests and are flat from the front and anime has more variation, but I've seen some cases where the crest looked more rectangular from the front). I expanded upon that further by adding more of them, which could be useful for making original characters that are unique but still fit decently well with the canon gardevoirs.
Love your comprehensive idea on the variation of external appearances in gardevoir crests, they certainly seem plausible with the canon. But i would like your opinion on their internal anatomy as well, i have been engrossed in figuring this out for a while. Especially the internal biological aspects of their crests, their digestive systems, and their reproductive systems as well.
Well, I have covered such stuff in another comment already, funnily enough, but here are my thoughts in a more professional manner:
I do not have the qualifications to go in depth about internal anatomy, but I do have some ideas. I would assume that their crests are rigidly connected with each other, as I have never seen them move separately. Whether or not there are any holes in the structure or organs simply go around it, remains unknown to me.
I do not posses any expertise in digestive systems, but Gardevoirs seem to be able to consoume and digest both pokemon food and human food, without any notable issues. As for expelling waste, the case is similar to reproductive organs; The majority of the time, there is nothing to be seen, this area of their body is a perfectly smooth surface. Only when necessary, there forms an opening to perform its role, without any pain. Afterwards, it perfectly seals again.
In terms of mating, the reproductive organs are quite typical for what one would expect from a humanoid of each gender (although they are generally smaller than in humans, which could hypothetically result in some compatibility issues). The main difference is that the organs can fully retract inside the body and only come out when experiencing the right stimuli. This serves as a good form of pretection and prevent accidental indecent exposure, therefore wearing clothes in public spaces is not necessary. In the area, there is simply a perfectly smooth surface the vast majority of the time, with some changes only starting to become visible when aroused. For example in females that stage looks similar to if a human woman wore tight yoga pants with no underwear. The opening and full functionality occours after further stimulation, which casues the surface of the body to painlessly open and reveal the organ (which also moves fully outside in males). Although, pain during that process, especially in its late stages, is also perfectly natural when experiencing it for the first time (or few times), simiarly to humans.
(Again, this is a serious analysis of this mature topic. Mods, don't execute me for touching upon this topic. It was brought up by others twice in separate cases.)
