Stupid thing that wouldn't leave my mind.

Ya wanna know what I just realized? The overall theme of scarlet and violet isn't actually about our treasure hunt, or making friends along the way,

It's obsession.(and how it hurts those around us.)

In the base game of pokemon scarlet and violet, we learn that the professor,(sada or turo depending on which version you play.) was absolutely obsessed with the paradox pokemon within the scarlet/violet book. They were so obsessed with these pokemon that they wanted, NEEDED to make them a reality by bringing them into our own. Their obsession was so bad, that they not only lost their significant other, but neglected their son to the point of completely abandoning him, all for the purpose of "paradise". Not realizing they already had one with their son.

The obsession has been with the professor since their childhood. As seen in the secret cutscene at kitakami's crystal pool with terapagos in your party, it brings the professor from iirc 10 years before the events of the game start. When they ask to trade for the book ms. Brair wrote they offer their copy of the s/v book and tell you "this book captured my imagination as a child and never let go." They were obsessed. It costed them their life, completely ruined arvens childhood, and almost caused the destruction of the Paldea region because they were too obsessed with having pokemon of the past/future along side them.

Then we go to kitakami, and meet Kieran. A boy who is obsessed with the ogre, a.k.a ogerpon. Kieran believes the two as kindred spirits, outcasts in kitakami because they were different. Though rightly upset at you and his sister for not telling him about meeting ogerpon, takes it too far when he steals the mask from his grandfather. As a result of winning the battle to get the mask back from him his obsession shifts, not really about befriending ogerpon anymore, but about beating you/being as good as you are. He becomes mean and ruthless to those around him in blueberry academy, becoming champion in order to try to be strong enough to beat you.

In the underdepths of area zero his obsession with beating you causes him to seek out terapagos, and catch it so that he can finally beat you.

And finally ms. Briar, obsessed with terapagos and proving it was real. Her ancestor, the original author of the s/v book, heath, was claimed and told to be nothing more than a liar after writing what he had found in area zero. Briar was obsessed, determined to prove terapagos' existence to clear her ancestors name, and that everything in the s/v book was in fact real. In kitakami she was more concerned with figuring out the terastal phenomenon than helping to guide the students from the 2 schools on their field trip.

And once in blueberry, she asks you, carmine and Kieran to join her in area zero to find terapagos. Once in the underdepths she puts herself in danger because of a strangely terastalized glimmora, of which you battle to protect her and the siblings. In the final chamber of the underdepths, she eggs on Kieran to take terapagos(in crystal form) out of the tera crystals around it to finally see the pokemon she's been trying to get to for so long, and then tells him to terastalize the pokemon, putting everyone in danger. As the amount of Tera energy is too much for the little pokemon to control, and thus it goes out of control, destroying the environment around it, nearly causing a cave in.

Ms. Briars obsession with finding terapagos nearly caused the group to get killed because she was so obsessed with finding terapagos. Obsessed with proving that heath was telling the truth all this time.

Pokemon scarlet and violet showed that obsession can hurt and harm those around you. That an obsession like sada/turo, Kieran and ms Briars', will cause the pain of others and themselves in order to reach their goal.

[phat-bat68]

Thinking about how when it was time to fight Kieran in the Indigo disk me and my brother decided to use our Ogerpons against him and bro actually said something about it

I live, laugh, love shit like this ^^

Such a small thing but it makes it 10x better

[possumkingluca]

the scarvi DLC in the context of my trainer is so funny to me because imagine being kieran, getting your ass beat and your dreams crushed by this nobody from an entirely different region, and spending the next like few months of your life devoting yourself to becoming as strong as possible. You climb the ranks, becoming the champion. You put together a fully competitive team. You're the strongest you've ever been, yet a husk of your former self, and then the fucking kid that ruined you shows up at your school as an exchange student, joins your club that they shouldn't even be allowed to join, skips the ranks and goes straight to absolutely sweeping the floor with the elite four... and after all this time, you're finally face to face, you know you can beat them, you have to.... and their team has not changed one fucking bit, is somehow way stronger than yours despite having not done an ounce of training (<- hasn't fought a single non mandatory trainer in ages, pokemon got to lvl 100 via picnics and catching pokemon for the pokedex), and they proceed to obliterate you with their pets they picked up off the side of the road. kieran: *having a mental breakdown about not being able to defeat me, and just overall not being able to be like me* my honest to god reaction: skill issue (<- has three dual type normals and a dream)

Lots of Pokemon headed your way! Here's the ride forms for Koraidon and Miraidon, something I've been meaning to draw in awhile!

To show my love for the Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC, I drew some DLC Pokemon like Ogerpon, Terapagos, new Dipplin evolution Hyrdrapple and new paradox Pokémon Iron Bounder and Gouging Fire.

Gamefreak COOKED with this DLC and did such an awesome job on it. I have plans to replay it on my Violet copy. Excited for the hour long epilogue event for the Hidden Treasure of Area Zero with the new mythical Pokémon Pecharunt in a few weeks!

I'll be so fr for a second--- when the hidden treasures of area zero trailers came out, the first time I saw Carmine and Kieran, u was so sure that they were going to be Dendra's niblings and you were going to be introduced to all the dlc stuff because her niblings came to visit and was going to be worried about them making friends and so would ask you the player character to hang around them a bit, and I was devastated when they weren't and that's not how it happened

They would have been so silly
