It would've been vindication for the original anime's infamous Spearow slander. :P

Honestly, Liko not kicking ass right out of the gate doesn't bother me too much. Her first opponents were far more experienced trainers trying to kidnap her and It'd be like expecting Michael from Pokemon XD to beat Zook the first time he ran into him.

Seconded. [Still endgame spoilers:] My other votes go to Ryme for being such a fun Gym Leader and... the entire main character friend group. Arven's the most standout character, but Nemona's development and backstory reveal were surprisingly effective in a more subtle way. (.) [Also endgame...

My first vote is for the other Nate. He's got a subtle skater/surfer boy energy to him. (What can I say? I'm a 2000s kid.) But for the main series, Hilda still has one of the most distinctive designs of the bunch and Hilbert is probably the only one I even look remotely similar to in real life.

Quaquaval wasn't quite what I expected Quaxly's final evolution to be. I guess I was expecting a swordsman/musketeer type. But I think the initial shock has worn off. I've grown used to the dance battler duck and it's growing on me. (It helps that I like Dancer from FFXIV.)

Skeledirge - I guess I like starters who look intimidating but are total softies. I liked Emboar, after all. Skeledirge takes it even further by being a sensitive, soulful musician. I just kinda wish its signature move was less busted. Meowscarada - I didn't choose Sprigatito. But people who...

So, Professor Sada and Professor Turo end up having the same role in the story as Arven's parent and the cause of the finale's conflict. But in your opinion, who works better as the (posthumous) main antagonist? Then again, many people headcanon both Sada and Turo existing simultaneously and...

...This did not come to pass. I decided that because I can't make a trainer that looks like me or an existing OC, I'd just make new OCs. For Scarlet, there's Caden (stemming from caduceus, a symbol of Hermes.) Naturally, he likes serpentine Pokemon... and birds. For my Violet encore (which I'll...

I love the jarring contrast between the Gym Leader and Elite Four themes. The former is loose and fun while the latter is just pure, unadulterated tension.

Doing a Mono Fighting run through Y (with no Mega Evolution or Exp Share) has been interesting. It's allowed me to revisit this game in a way where I'm not overpowered... and Hawluchas are scary in this playthrough. ...It's also an excuse to be with Chesnaught again, honestly. My favorite of...

The fire croc. It's not every day that the Fire-type starter ends up being my favorite.

For me, it's two fairly easy choices and one kinda difficult choice. - Grass: Chesnaught Chespin goes on a journey from adorable to dorky-cute to stoic but still super wholesome. The line is just a good boi (or grrl depending on the gender.) - Water: Primarina Stylish. Amiable. Hits like a...

Attack Forme, the murder starfish, gets my vote.
