More new sync pairs in Pokémon Masters

[PokéSean]

Also, will we have these so called Scottie and Bettie be pseudo players?

who?

What do you mean who? The protagonists of Masters.

 

[Silktree]

Bulbapedia lists them under the spin-off sub-category of player characters. That's fair.

 

[PokéSean]

Can't you just get over it? We call them Victor and Gloria. You can't change that and you can't win this argument. Give up already, dude.

This person really thinks of getting over these “assumptions”. If we call them Scottie and Bettie, then we call the GO protagonists by NIATrainer and TrainerNIA.

The problem with that is that unlike the others, those are not even names. They are just variations of "Niantic Trainer" with the character limit in place.

Yeah! I should get over it especially because we are talking about upcoming sync pairs and canon protagonists.

You were the one who brought this thing on The Legend of Localization:

“If you were playing Seiken Densetsu when it was first released, how would you determine what the heroes’ official names were? You’d probably turn to the game’s manual and/or the game’s strategy guides.”

And because the names of TrainerNiantic appear in promos, they are the default names.

Dude, they are the equivalent of naming the characters "Test 1" and "Test 2". Those are not actually names.

So just now, it is revealed Dawn is going to make an appearance but instead of a Chimchar (or Piplup), she has Ash's starter.

I don't see anything wrong with that. Again, the anime doesn't count for anything in Masters, which is something I have said over and over again.

 

[PokéSean]

Barry has a Piplup and because Dawn will have a Turtwig, Lucas is the canon DP protagonist. I don’t want you to mention anymore about the Anime not being canonical because I know it isn’t.

 

[prog rocker]

At this point, I wonder they have not used any of the girls as the protagonist except possibly Rosa. Variety is a good thing, you know, DeNA?

 

[PokéSean]

I don’t why they did not make the Anime canonical.

I don’t even know why it is Rosa. Does she even say she battled Iris?

Like what @RunnerAwaker said:

The main point behind PCs is that they represent us, the players. We're the one who decides their personalities, likes, dislikes, and especially, what kind of Pokemon we want to train.

And just because some specific players are canon to here doesn’t mean we can’t choose our gender. The player really doesn’t need to be the exact gender.

I know, in fact, I'm a guy. It's just that they picking the same option over and over again is kinda boring to me.

Why boring?

At this rate, he'll be lucky to get any appearance because Flint already represents Infernape (they could have easily given him Magmortar instead). I suppose that they could give him one of the legendaries or something random like Espurr (although that one ties into the NPC's team, while Lucas only has Clefairy to choose from and that's taken).

The big elephant in the room is who's going to get Ash-Greninja (which appeared in the datamine). The Alola starters can only be associated with the two player characters, so Ash-Greninja would come at their expense (one is already getting left out). As for Ash himself, meh. Not only would that be weird, but Ash hasn't trained Greninja in over 3 years and Pikachu is obviously his mascot. Sygna Calem could work, though.

Lucas could get a Digala and as for May and Serena, a Kygore and a Yvetal. Maybe Nate will get a Black Kyruem.

Sygna Calem might get Chesnut. I really wish Ash and Max as Brendan’s brother could appear.

 

[Silktree]

There's no need to give Serena anything but a Kalos starter when none is represented so far. Same for May when Swampert needs a home.

Why?
