This marks the first appearance of Aaron, Ivan, and Forrest. The former had previously debuted in Rough Sketch (Aaron being named “Barry”), while Forrest was slated for Season Four before the continuity was canned.
This episode went through two changes in development. Originally it was a group brainstorming session that additionally featured Olive, Paige, Amber, Aziz, and Coco. Then it turned into something similar to the final version, but with the incident being mainly Geneva’s fault for dragging the three newbies into it. In the latter, the idea of seniority allowing ICT members to tell newcomers what to would have been planted in Jen’s head by Aziz, but it was scrapped.
No orange, yellow, or violet Drewmans appear.
This is Whitney’s first appearance since “You’re Not the Boss of Me” and her first appearance to not involve Violet or Noah.
“Comment allez-vous (How are you), what’s up with you?”
It’s Color Theory EP. 25
‘Ello, Elo, Y’ello
Trivia
This marks the first appearance of Eloise and Amber, having gone by “Skye” and “Charlie” in the old continuity. Incidentally, Olive and Paige used to have their names.
This is the first episode since “Back Again, I See” in which all six core characters appear.
Lyman is seen without his jacket, Bryan his vest, and Peony her ascot for the first time. We see Peony’s hair down.
No Grey Drewmans appear. Geneva is also the only Red Drewman in the main cast to have debuted by this point and not be present.
Peony’s parasol debuts here.
This episode ends a mini-arc starting with “Violet and Scarlett” where the door is busted down.
Nobody in the Oobay-Monade household is seen in their regular clothes. This is subsequently the first time J.’s eyes are seen in full.
Chloe wears a sleep mask, much like her original continuity counterpart does.
This episode aired, although doesn’t necessarily take place, on Lyman’s birthday.
This marks the second appearance of Formblende, the first appearance of Sykie, and the first time the former gets extended dialogue.
Formblende’s voice is much higher and rougher than his previous appearance, while his accent is completely different. He’s also sporting a different design, but his final panel shows that’s merely due to him adopting a different form when actively using his powers.
Only violet and green type Drewmans appear, even Lyman’s mention keeping this up.
This episode onwards eschews the Pokémon sound effects used to denote the cast’s speech. Ironically, the episode features voice acting for unrelated reasons.
Violet’s front door is still broken after the events of the previous episode; Martin somewhat acknowledges this.
Chloe’s appearance near the end sets up the season’s B-Plot.
“The police just left your house. Should I be worried?”
It’s Color Theory EP 23.
Violet and Scarlett
Trivia
This marks the first appearances of Paige, Scarlett, Clarence, and Aziz. The former three previously appeared in Rough Sketch, the latter debuts here. This is also the first time Siren appears in the flesh.
Olive makes her first appearance since her debut.
Scarlett inherited Rosie’s old name from the original continuity. The names “Violet” and “Scarlett” came around about a month before Gamefreak agreed it was a good idea.
This episode debuts a new background style with geometric blocks of color to partially convey movement.
This episode also dabbles in consistent leitmotifs for certain characters; in this case, Scarlett, Clarence, and Aziz.
Aziz’s setup shows “Sore Losers” playing in the background. Coincidentally, that was Rosie’s debut episode.
Your redesign version of Mario and Donkey Kong characters is one of the best redesigns for Mario and Donkey Kong characters, enteringdullsville, I'd love to see your redesign version of Donkey Kong/Donkey Kong Country characters as well! 😀
This is the first appearance of Chloe or Angie since “You Live Like This?” and of Geneva since “Walk the Dog”. This is also the first episode Geneva appears without Ingrid.
Chloe’s lab returns after not being seen since the second episode.
Several of Chloe’s trademark inventions debut here, including the robot claw and her Happy Hammer. The massive gun Tanner is seen with is a prototype of the far smaller lasers seen later on.
While Chloe’s eyes are always visible when viewed from the side, this is the first time she’s seen without glasses.
Ragdoll Chloe is a just visual gag. She is not secretly a ragdoll, nor will she ever be.
Not the anon, but Kosa is a bill that's soon going to pass where minors on the internet get their parents to see what they search up and restrict things that are deemed "inappropriate." When in reality it prevents kids who are trying to learn about the lbgtq community and kids trying to identify abuse. The bill will change the internet forever and NOT in a good way.
Im pretty sure the anon is trying to ask you to spread awareness about this.
AS OF FEBRUARY 21ST, 2024, WE GOT FIVE DAYS UNTIL THE DAY OF DECISION OF THE KOSA BILL, WHICH WILL CAUSE MASS CENSORSHIP ROUND THE INTERNET IF PASSED. OR DOOMSDAY. WE NEED EVERYONE TO KNOW ABOUT THIS AND CONTRIBUTE. I'M NOT GIVING UP ON YOU ALL.
WE'RE DOWN TO THE WIRE BUT WE CAN'T GIVE UP YET. IF WE GIVE UP, EVERYTHING IS OVER. IF WE DON'T, AT LEAST WE HAVE A CHANCE.
I'M THE ONE WHO SOUNDED THE ALARM, AND I'M NOT GOING TO CURL UP AND DIE YET.

We won't let this stand any longer. Let's start a riot and get this trending.
Well, if I must. I don’t really listen to that many professional musicians or singers and the ones I do are personal, so mine are all from video games:
