Kun-Yomi: えら(ぶ)
On-Yomi: セン

Choose your starter! Would you like the fire type 己, the water type 己, or the grass type 共? Doesn’t the Kanji look like the 3 starters sitting on a ⻌?

(P.S. 己 means oneself, 共 means together, 巽 means southeast, and finally, 選 means choose)

Kun-Yomi: わ(ける)
On-Yomi: ブン, フン, ブ

This one is easy, 刀 means sword and the ハ above looks like something that was sliced in two, hence ‘part, segment’! .
Also, if you’re not familiar with Rhythm Heaven (リズム天国), here’s the reference for the image 🐶 https://youtu.be/zrRVSDXUblY


Kun-Yomi: つら(なる), つ(れる)
On-Yomi: レン

It’s the King of Red Lions (赤獅子の王). Not really related to the meaning of 連, but I thought the shape matched. I think just having an image that you associate with a Kanji character can help in memorizing it.
