''Pokemon Lavender'' (2023) is the third installment into {{The Verse}} that is [[{{WebAnimation/TheAskosverse}} the Askosverse]], created by Jaydreamer. It follows the {{What If}} scenario of "What if Romania was a {{Franchise/Pokemon}} region?", where the culture and history of Romania is translated into a potential plot for a [[{{FanFic}} Pokemon game]].

Lavender is part of a bigger {{Shared Universe}}. Lavender is not to be confused with [[{{WebAnimation/ProjectAskos}} Project Askos]], which this is the {{Self Remake}} of.
