Pokemon Horizons characters summarised in a few points

(keep in mind that this isn’t a serious take on the characters and doesn’t genuinely reflect how I view them for the most part)

RVT:

Explorers:

Extras/couldn’t fit:

My first impression of them was correct lol

Here’s a BOGO bonus too! 🎉

Proposal: In the "what if" scenario of Amethio someday becoming one of the Rising Volt Tacklers, he also gets to rap for the ending theme, but instead of failing (Murdock, Landau) or cheating it (Dot) - he slays for the Singular Purpose of singing it better than Friede did

They aren't beating the gay allegations...

So, that episode where they went shopping? Still on my mind

[phopollo]

Patiently waiting for Pokemon Horizons to reveal that Mollie has some powerhouse in her back pocket that she just never gets to use because no one ever challenges her to a pokemon battle, because everyone either thinks she doesn't battle because she's a pokemon doctor, or they know exactly what pokemon she has in her back pocket

Like a gyrados

It'll have to be shiny if it's a gyradose though, otherwise I'll riot

You have no idea how much I'm loving Pokemon Horizons! I'm looking forward for the new arch at the Naranja Academy!

[cryoverkiltmilk]

So... Mollie exists. A renegade Nurse Joy with punk fashion who decided she didn't want to just wait around for injured Pokemon to be brought to her and set out on a journey as a field vet/medic member of the Rising Volt Tacklers/Rising Volteccers

Me, falling into a hyperfixation spiral for her:

Okay, so there’s a loooot to talk about from ep45 but a detail i think i’m picking up on is a set up for our next year of horizons and the arcs for amethio and spinel

This is the first time we’ve seen Amethio team up with Rvt (potentially why they skipped over it back in that moltress encounter) and while he brushes it off, the intent of the writers is clearly to show he’s capable of working with them. This is definitely the first domino in his redemption arc, and i’m wondering if by the end of this year (two arcs if it follows the same pattern) we’ll see him fully join them especially considering his new mission is to monitor them instead of fight. We’ve now got so many more opportunities for casual interactions between amethio and the RVTs! Sango, Onyx and Agate seem to be infiltrating the academy (which i find hilarious because sango can easily pass as a child but onyx on the other hand…) so perhaps he’ll be nearby to survey as well? maybe he’ll finally catch a new pokemon (espurr pls) or we’ll just start to learn more about him this coming arc.

What interests me even further is how I think Amethio and Spinel’s development are being set up to mirror eachother. Amethio will betray explorers for redemption, but Spinel will betray them for his own selfish motivations. It won’t surprise me if by the end of this year (as in a year of episodes) they both leave the group. And while that means explorers would be down two major antags, i think that’s the perfect opportunity to have hamber and gibeon become more active to fill the hole their absences would leave.

Anyway, this episode was a 10/10, I’m so excited to see where things go this year! (Also I still refuse to believe Amethio is Gibeon’s son because that man does not get bitches. They’re related, but i don’t think it’ll be as direct as that)

Dog pile! They are happily asleep.

[cheekyowldraws]

Family scenes like this just warm my heart <3

[cocosnowlo-drawings]

Just Mollie silently judging you :P

[phopollo]

Murdock & Orio/Orla my beloveds, you are so big and strong,,,

The anime is a coward for not giving Orio/Orla muscles in her official design and animation, she clearly has them as a mechanic
