#((I think I'll make Elio either a regular child from Akala who partakes in a lot of Alola's activities-))

Was thinking of the possible themes for Blur/Blight and the other regions' arcs (I've yet to flesh out and explore), but so far;

Black / White - Focused around the truth; self-discovery, for better or for worse. Acknowledging that their pursuit of the truth will irrevocably change their lives forever. The hero Hilbert leaves home and never returns, and the people around them have changed. Follows a typical fairy-tale to a T, no matter how hard they tried to avoid that fate. A story that was doomed from the start.

Black 2 / White 2 - Focused around ideals; learning from what has happened in the past, either choosing to avoid making the same mistakes, or falling into the same trap. Mirroring. The hero Nate leaves their hometown, comes back, and has managed to stick to who they are and what they believe in, with the people they love. Deconstructs the fairy-tale, but instead, follows a shounen anime plot. A story that is corrupted from the events from the past, but there's a light found at the end of the tunnel.

Both BW/BW2 are also centered around love and control; love in the form of platonic, romantic, familial, and undescribed/unlabeled relationships, worship and devotion, control within one's self and towards others; particularly regarding situations that are controlled (Ghetsis, Zinzolin, Nikolai), and situations that aren't (fate, the dragons).

ORAS/E - Focused around generations, passing the mantle, bloodlines;

Brendan being Norman's son and initially seen as someone that will follow after his footsteps,

May being Birch's daughter and wondering if she's content with wanting to be like him,

Wally wanting more than a simple life with his family in Verdanturf,

Lisia stepping into the spotlight in the name of her mother's image,

Zinnia carrying the hopes and dreams of the Draconid people,

Steven being the heir to Devon Corporation,

Wallace being the only one of his siblings who stayed in Sootopolis and the only one trying to keep Sootopolitan's traditions alive,

Flannery becoming the gym leader after her father retired,

Tate and Liza being new gym leaders,

And Maxie and Archie's goals being for the sake of future generations; one is just geared more towards humanity, while the other is geared more towards nature.

SM/USUM - Focused around childhood, adulthood, coming of age, and responsibility- regarding yourself and regarding others. The children of Alola growing together through the island challenge, Selene being encouraged to enjoy her youth in Alola, Hau wanting to have fun in his own journey while also fearing growing up, Lillie having taken on a more mature role after dealing with an abusive mother, Gladion having to fend for himself and not having proper adults to guide him, etc.
