This came to me in a vision

While as much as I'd have loved to have seen Nemona, Arven, and Penny in the DLC, I do think it's funny to imagine reasons why they couldn't have gone on the field trip anyway.

The funniest reason I can think of, particularly for Penny, is that there was a criminal case brought up against Team Star and she had to stand trial.

The player sends her a selfie from the trip, and she sends a mugshot of herself in return.

BEYOND MY IMAGINATION

definitely about 2 yrs late but I really think that there would have been so much more potential in pokemon s/v's victory road arc had they not decided to go with this "everyone can be a champion (generic) if they beat geeta (also it means nothing bc geeta stays la primera no matter how many times she's beaten)":

- you go through the game thinking you'll face geeta in battle

- you get through the e4 only to find that nemona has unseated geeta as la primera (doesn't really matter if you can unseat her in turn imo)

- nemona has completed her arc by becoming the strongest trainer in the region, only reasonable place left for her to go is area zero with you and the others

- post-game nemona gets bored and starts a battle frontier/facility and becomes the final frontier brain

- geeta moved to a secret final boss in the post game where she actually uses her team properly with competitive strategy so all the in-game hype about her means something

- geeta maybe going through her villain arc as was foreshadowed but never realized in the dlc

Still playing through the Indigo Disk, but I think Lacey is awesome and it’s so cool she’s related to one of the Unova gym leaders! I think it’s Clay because of her hair clip (and her Excadrill lol) so I wanted to draw Clay taking little Lacey to see a Cottonee migration, since in Unova fairy types are few and far between lol

alright so i know i already made that post detailing foreshadowing with larrys design. but i would also like to have a new post going more into character design of him just because i find myself obsessed once more

so to start, larry is designed to be clearly reminiscent of a businessman/salaryman/etc. obviously this choice is to go with the normal type theming for his gym, because whats more normal than a plain old office worker? in addition, working for the league seems to be fairly normal, given the abundance of suited npcs scattered around paldea. his eyes have lines under it, and combined with his general personality, serve to portray him as somewhat tired despite his dedication

however, he has a few details that play into his actual elite four status. first and foremost is the cloudy tie. its blue with white clouds, resembling the sky. hes got a string of buttons on his cuff that seem to be similar to a feather, and two triangle details in his lapels that give them a vague wing appearance. additionally, the flyaway hairs on his head, along with the black bit that wont quite stay flat, help to make it feel like hes standing in wind with the air blowing his hair about. these flyaways also seem to resemble grey hairs, as if larry started going grey due to the fact that hes always working so much for his color scheme, hes overwhelmingly using black in both his clothes and his actual hair/eye color. black is the ‘typical’ color one might think of for a suit, even if it is not the only color they can be. dark hair and eyes are also extremely common traits with people, falling on more prominent genes compared to something like light eyes or hair. it fits well with the everyman concept, making him blend in more as just some worker. black is a color of formality, yet also mystery and power, which fit well with the suit and the fact hes a member of the elite four. grey fits with his dress shirt and the flyaway hairs on his head. its far more minor in use, and seems to be a bit blue. greys a neutral color that can seem dull, slotting in once again with that ‘boring guy’ vibe. though because of the blue tinge, it helps keep his over all palette more cool and match better with the sky blue tie. blue can be seen as a more calm and collected color, and personality wise larry is definitely one of the less energetic characters in the game

for shape language, larry seems to be built with a focus on squares. squares are a dependable shape, but can come off rigid and boring depending on their use. they have a sense of stability and strength, yet also clumsiness because they can seem a bit unnatural at times. larry as a character seems to be reliable for his job in a more roundabout sense; hes dedicated to it, but hes not known as the best worker, according to his pregym encounter description. hes the normal gym leader, so using a shape that can be ‘boring’ works well. in addition, larry also seems to stumble over when he throws his pokeballs, before jumping back into a more rigid standing position. there is the use of a few triangles in the design too, which are used with his hair especially. triangles can be used to suggest movement, which with how the hair is shaped, checks out. the lapels and collar of his shirt serve to frame his tie, and the smaller darker triangles further serve to point it out. theres a bit of circles used to help soften his design, although not many. hes rigid with his schedule, but not entirely inflexible

now for a more fun analysis of the design, i feel like some aspects can relate to his pokemon, either in a more obvious or more abstract way.

first up is his hair. larrys bottom flyaway strands seem to be similarly shaped to braviarys lowest head feathers, while the top feel more flowy like altarias. the sides of his hair give me the impression of the sides of tropiuss head in terms of placement, but the general concept of hair in front of more hair is reminiscent of braviarys feather crown in front of the plumage. staraptor is the only pokemon to have a feather hang downward in the middle of the head, matching the lower middle strand of grey hair.

now to the suit. his tie with clouds easily connects to altaria, who has a cloud for wings. however i believe this can be further stretched to komalas rounded tufts of fur, given their color and shape. flamigo and komalas nose/beak could be behind the rounded shape of the suits buttons. the triangular bits on staraptors tail feathers could be referenced in the lapels on the suit. oricorios head feathers are set in threes and rounded, just like the feather detail on the suit sleeves. dudunsparce has a general rectangular theming to it, which fits well with the rectangular pockets adorning the suit.

in fact, dudunsparce also has rectangular eyes, which fits with larrys quite well. komala has thick eyebrows, and while not exactly in the same shape as larrys, id say they seem to be about the same thickness for the widest section

the shoes are probably more of a stretch, but the very top rounded bit reminds me of the front toes on tropius color scheme wise, the blue grey of komala seems awfully close to the blue grey used in larrys hair and shirt. the blue of the tie also seems to match up more with the altaria. but that would be going strictly off of concept art, as his in game model renders these shades far differently

its actually kind of insane just how much you can pull from a character who seems incredibly simple on the surface design wise. some of these points are likely to be stretching it just a bit, but im definitely sure that this man was designed with a lot of intent and purpose given his role in the game and how hes shown off
