Oleana and her Garbodor-Pokemon, fanart, 2021

Mario is the protector, Luigi is the emotional support

Exactly! And they fit the bill of exactly what they need from each other.

What is your overall opinion of the sword and shield characters? Gym leaders, the professors, the villains, the rivals, etc. Any that you seen worth mentioning.

Prof. Magnolia, we didn't see enough of her, she didn't pop in as much and I kinda forgot that she EXISTED. But I do always love female older proffessor.

Sonia was more consistent. I like her style, I like the idea that she is basically the new professor in training and she ended up writing a book by the end of the game. She's very cute and stylish and I love her boots.

Okay time for Gym leaders-over all I like the idea that the fucking pokemon league is a competitive sponsored event like NASCAR or soccer. It gives more of a competitive sense to it and the end game where you just battle tree with all the other gym leaders gives a stronger sense that these are the reigning top trainers of this country and they compete among themselves yearly to try and knock each other off the champion pedestal. I liked it a lot, it was a new fun take.

Milo, I didn't much care for. A know a lot of people went bananas for him but something about his fucking TODDLER FACE on his MAN BODY kept throwing me off.

I thought Nessa's design was cute and fun. We don't usually see a whole lot of black characters in Pokemon so she was a refreshing cool design to have.

Kabu is just a dilf. He's a Dilf. Look at that tired old man, he's ready to retire. Fucking hang that shit up on the WALL, my man.

Allister was the ENTIRE reason I got Sheild instead of Sword cause I love GHOST types. And I love his design, I love how his dialogue makes it sound like he has a little cockney accent, he is my SON, he is my BOY, I would do ANYTHING for Allister.

Opal is another character who I liked a lot? I liked the whole thing where she's like this aging theater star, an old Opera Queen. Her design also reminds me of the Triplettes from Bellville. She was just so fun and zany and out there for an old lady. Love a crazy kooky old woman. I also like how she just fucking Abducted/adopted Bede mid game against his will.

Melony was a DREAM. She looks so warm and soft like she gives good warm hugs. I also like how she's the MOM of another gym leader (Gordie)

Okay Ya'll known my stance on Piers. He is the BFB, the 6ft tall musician who I would wear PLATFORM BOOTS to get a kiss from. I would sit thru a HEAVY METAL SHOW for him and I don't LIKE loud live music. His overall character is interesting as a sort of individual who is a gym leader out of duty and not because he likes it, the shit he does is to try to keep his dying small home town alive and afloat and he just wants to be a musician.

That being said; I didn't much care for Team Yell. Low tier team, I wasn't impressed by them. I mean. Maybe it's different over in England with your Soccer fans but just. I didn't feel like they had a GOOD motivation as a 'villainous' team even if they're more of a red herring team. Team Skull was a better villainous team than Yell. I would completely tear down the team and revamp it design wise and goal wise. Their goal is to make sure Marnie wins, the goal should more along the lines be 'make sure people know where SPIKEMUTH is' I would honestly love to see a team made completely up of punks whose actual goal is to try and save their home town

....instead of.....whatever this was.

And Raihan was just okay. TBH He's cute, and all but everyone is just ALL over him, I feel the market is oversaturated.

I'll admit it I watched Nimona and it changed my brain chemistry.

Is it bad to assume that in some of the pokemon game there's always someone in the game -> The player or one of the characters in the game are affected by trauma? Or in some cases are felt like Nintendo cuts them short and makes them seem weaker then they actually are

Because I noticed something when I was playing through all the pokemon games I owned...

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet: We all know that Kieran is felt like he's being yelled short because in his game dialogue he wants to be strong enough to beat the player after the events of part one but he's been strong since the beginning! (I made a whole rant bout Kieran...) But also we have Arven who has trauma over Area Zero because frankly he almost died in there/ his pokemon was badly injured beyond any pokemon center help. Not to mention Arven was literally abandoned by his parents!

Pokemon Legends Arceus: The Mc had trauma since the very start, they got dropped into the past from Arceus for no reason besides to, in Arceus's words: Seek out all pokemon. Then we get to Volo's betrayal in the end game! And I won't lie and as soon as I saw his team and the piano I had to shut off my switch and didnt touch it for a week.... Also not to mentioned they basically became Hisui's little helper and never got anything in return as when the sky turns red that wasn't their fault and out of their control they got blamed as basically become outcasted! And then there was irony where the village were wary of outsiders but during the post game they're letting outsiders in.... like WTH?!!!!

Pokemon Sword and Shield: Oh my goodness this is the game that made me realize that they did some characters dirty... I mean Hop is our rival and the younger brother of the champion! Think about it now! He was living in Leon's shadow for his whole life so that probably drove him to beat him but he lost to the finals to the player! It felt so wrong during that battle to basically destroy Hop's dreams! Heck I even tried purposely losing to him but the game was like: Nope, you're fighting Leon and we dont care if you feel bad!

In my valid rant and conclusion I think I can say.... Pokemon likes having some form of trauma and selling characters short in some way or form....

on an irrelevant note, something neat i found whilst messing with PMX editor and MMD was that Bede wears the shorts and collar of the gym challenger uniform underneath his coat in his pre-leader model (at least, in his MMD model) which i find a bit strange because I can't really recall a time in Pokémon SwSh that you'd see this. (as someone who's replayed Sword very reccently) Maybe on the pitch during the opening ceremony but in that case, the whole uniform should be visible...which it's not (unless I'm missing some textures)

idk just something i found
