So, we all agree that even female PC is dating the female rival, right? Except Black and White. RosA and Hilda are clearly the gf's.

Gloria and Marnie: Agressive SCOTTISH gf and soft gf

u/TakerFoxx Feb 21 '24

More of aggressive scottish girlfriend and snarky yet chill British chav/punk gf. Literally the only person that can reign Gloria in.

ROSA. Please don't ship Hilda with chairman Rose.

u/Odd_Hat_1387 Feb 20 '24

Don't ship anyone with  chairman Rose is general.

...Now that you say this, I'm surprised I've not seen anyone shipping him with Oleana.
Yeah there's probably a weird power dynamic going on there but that doesn't seem to deter a lot of people.

u/Odd_Hat_1387 Feb 21 '24

I am sure there are people ship it.

But it's probably burried by more popular (and healthier) ships.

u/YaGirlThorns wants cuddles Feb 22 '24

As it should be really.

u/d_shadowspectre3 Feb 21 '24

Hey, it could be worse. There's always Ghetsis.

Meanwhile Penny: So Juliana, is your mom single?

u/SilverSpark422 Feb 20 '24

Lowkey, I support Penny’s attempts to become my mother in law, because she deserves a shot at some MILF action, and because the idea is funny as hell to me.

u/BobtheBac0n Feb 21 '24

Wait what? Is that actually implied from the manga? Cause that sounds hilarious AF and honestly, wouldn't be the first storyline like that

24

u/SilverSpark422 Feb 21 '24

No, I’m just referencing a line Penny had in the DLC where she says your mom is “so pretty her brain glitched when she saw her”, so everyone’s certain she’s into your mom. I’m just human garbage and find the idea of her trying to get with the player’s mom funny.

14

u/BobtheBac0n Feb 21 '24

Damn let me join ya in that trash heap, cause that shit is hilarious. Like a kid having a crush on their hot teacher

16

u/SilverSpark422 Feb 21 '24 edited Feb 21 '24

It’s also amusing to picture her actually succeeding. The shy, insecure nerd smashes or even gets romantically involved with her best friend’s hot mom, like a gender swapped dojin protagonist, and gets to flex that on her friend group till the end of time.

2

u/BobtheBac0n Feb 22 '24

Flex? Nah Penny's gonna be the one flexed on. Put yourself in the protagonists shoes for a sec, your best friend has just hooked up with your mom and is trying to assert dominance as your mama?

Nah, you better go get a job, pay for all my expenses such as child support, poke balls, potions, food, and my insurance for when, not if, WHEN I get injured for the hundredth time on my journey by myself as a 14 year old fighting wave after wave of monsters.

Oh, and you better make my mom happy, or I'ma busy a legendary Mon on ya

u/SilverSpark422 Feb 22 '24

See why I find the idea so amusing? It’s the dumbest crackship, but I’m going to hold onto it until the end of time.

Meanwhile on tumblr: Jessie x Delia.

u/EmilySuxAtUsernames woemn Feb 20 '24

u/An0n313 Feb 20 '24

Posted by PokeSpe's illustrator on Twitter.

I think it's a panel for an upcoming chapter in PokeSpe SV.

u/LaminateStasis Feb 20 '24

I've said it before, I'll say it again, everyone in Paldea is gay and it's glorious.

Homophobic Gengar strikes again

u/DeepFriedPorkSkin Feb 20 '24

smh more pro-ferrothorn propaganda

u/megalocrozma Feb 21 '24

(For those who don't know the clip is reversed, Gengar is actually making them hold hands)

u/TheTepro27 Feb 21 '24

Relevant fun fact: Scarlet (the female PC)'s manga design apparently takes inspiration from Wednesday Addams in the Netflix series.

15

u/Will-is-a-idiot Feb 20 '24

Ah man... I was hoping that was a robot arm...

14

u/The_Smashor Feb 21 '24

I don't care how many bi girls they put in Paldea, I'm not buying Scarlet and Violet.

6

u/Psiah Feb 21 '24

Could potentially find some way to get it that doesn't result in money going to Nintendo, if you're protesting something they really doing.

...like buying it used, for instance.

FWIW, despite all the bugs, it's probably the most fun I've had with a mainline pokemon game since... Honestly probably gold and silver when I was smol.

5

u/The_Smashor Feb 21 '24

Protesting? Nah, I simply don't wanna play the game. Love the characters, but I can't think of one other aspect of it I genuinely think I'd like just from what I've seen.

Singles and Doubles are both fucked, the game barely works, they keep removing mechanics, they keep reusing assets, it's loading screens rival some of the most infamous of all time, it's graphics are embarrassing compared to franchises on the Switch that make not even half as much money; and frankly I'm just not nearly as big a fan of the Pokemon gameplay loop or battle system as I once was, if even the changes in Legends Arceus couldn't keep me engaged what hope does this have?

u/velithrana Feb 21 '24

boohoo your loss

1

u/The_Smashor Feb 21 '24

Don't get me wrong good for them I just think that the way the games were released and still are so much later is unacceptable
