Hey Guys??? Did We Forget About Guzma?? Guzma? Guys?

this is going to tie into a self-indulgent post i’m working on but i think that the pla protagonist would choose to go back. i’m in the minority(?) thinking that lucas/dawn does NOT experience amnesia (for the longing angst) and that they’d eventually go back using arceus’ help as barry and whoever isn’t chosen is anxiously searching for them.

after readjusting to the modern life, i think the pla protag would pursue a career in sinnoh history now that they have first hand experience

if the pla protagonist goes home or not, they suffer either way. lose the friends they made in hisui, or be forever trapped in the past.

requirements for being a pokemon protagonist: 1. be named after a color 2. have ANY diagnosis 3. be able to play the flute

“legends z-a,”

we cry in unison

“please give us character customization back”

we pray, in unison

the dynamic of the E4 in paldea is an underrated good point about the series. I was a little annoyed not having the experience of walking into each room to challenge them, but it was made up for by the little moments of them calling out to one another

Constantly thinking about this interaction

may (or sakura) and brendan (or shingo)

Adventures in Castelia City! Even though the Nintendo’s Pokémon section had every Burmy form, there were no Quaxly plushes </3. Maybe next time

CRYING THIS IS SO SIMILAR TO MY OWN INTERPRETATION OF HIM 😭😭

“Chooses to accompany the Ultra Recon Squad in their quest to return life to their own home. Frequents Ultra Space a lot, which has had a few side-effects on him, but he still retains a helpful personality just like his sister. Is also trying to help Necrozma restore itself to end its suffering.”

Even down to the partner choice! Mine doesn’t have quite as much creative canon divergence though

so when are we getting the aforementioned Sun post as a follow up to the Cole one

IT'S RIGHT HERE BABY!!!! Also Idk why I said Sun his name is Elio I was just too preoccupied with Cole-isms I guess. I got Moon right though that's still her name.

Elio is a member of the Ultra Recon Squad! He's from Alola, and after trying to save a popplio from getting swept away in the tides of a bad storm when he was little, they were both pulled into an ultra wormhole. His family thinks he drowned that day.

In typical faller fashion, Elio lost his memories, but still retained some of his knowledge of pokemon and battling, so he and his partners Primarina and Nagandel were able to join the Ultra Recon Squad despite how young they are. Elio is also Moon's half-brother. Shortly after Elio's presumed death their mom moved to Kanto and married Moon's dad. Moon didn't even know she had a brother because their mom never talked about him, even after the divorce and going back to Alola. He's about five years older than her.

Elio serves as an antagonist, being the strongest battler of the Ultra Recon Squad and working with Lusamine. He doesn't know how awful she truly is, he just trusts that she's helping the Ultra Recon Squad with their Necrozma problem. After the events of SM, he goes back to living with his mom and has a lot of trouble adjusting to a normal life again. He's still close with all of the Ultra Recon Squad, though! He and Gladion have a pretty rocky history, but they're friends as well, with Elio committed to trying and help fix the problems he helped cause for all of Alola.

My brain: “It’s probably specialized gear to help him in game”

Me, who hasn’t played XDGoD: “Oh, so he has a hearing aid and a prosthetic, good for him.”

multishipping is a thing obviously but sometimes i silently weep and curse the pokégods for ash and serena because i think more people should be aware of the amazing dynamic serena and calem have
