#gba loyal

[piffany666]

What you favourite gba character says about you! (Based on the Eldena doubleca5t series on YouTube)

(This is a joke please do not take any of this personally)

Loyal: your probably either a black butler fan or an angle beats fan

Servos: you had a crush on Marshalllee from adventure time

Yargwin: at some point in your life you've probably been obsessed with either Jack sparrow or Captin hook from Once upon a time. That being said you do have good taste

Kalomos: you just wanted good things for kalomos and really....who wouldn't?

Lry: you need everyone in this series to just chill the f*k out for like 5 minutes

Vail: your favourite trope is a character being blissfully unaware of how powerful they are

Raspa: you are a firm believer in the inherent eroticism of a mad scientist

Mortals: you have some....complicated feelings about episode 3 of space pirates

Vision: your childhood crush was garnett from steven universe

Heartburn: you still don't know the answer to the mystery of 1. Why did yargwin tell him that "him and Arkov aren't married" and 2. Why heartburn is even here but the difference is that your not mad about the second one

Kaunda: your either a lesbian or a liar

Banar: you really like full metal alchemist

The butterfly king: your OTP is fizz x Ozzmodius from hellova boss

Albus: you are a firm believer in the inherent eroticism of "I can fix him" but you will inevitably realise that you can't and then promptly exept him as he is

Devlin: your probably autistic and the quickest way to your heart is somebody showing even the slitest amount of intrest In YOUR special interest

Odin: you really like God of war

Odysseus: you understand the significance of Odin calling him that...also you probably really like "epic the musical"

Tyr: you really like lore olympus

Fenrir: you are a furry that or your just a redacted fan

Okami: you were the f*kers who kept spaming "okami did nothing wrong" in that one live stream

Makkaro: you are a firm believer in the inherent eroticism of "a hero will sacrifice you to save the world but a villan will sacrifice the world to save you"

Zed: I want to use the joke used by the person this post was inspired by and say that you like "men👏 getting 👏pegged!" But honestly if your favourite character is zed you probably just really like the owl house

Mirrin: when zed asked the guardian if they used to be lovers you got your hopes up way to quickly

Frank: you had a crush on Billy butcherson from hocus pocus

Hipswich: you believe in the inherent eroticism of the song "good lookin"

Mahatma/atila: this is just the same joke as raspa but like even more so

Huginn: your favourite ship dynamic is "neurodivergent character rambling" x "could listen to them talk forever"

Muninn: your favourite asmr trope is reverse comfort

Since getting @lavista4 into GBA, we’ve been hella fixated on BW and since they made their Faithful, I’d decided to create my own character to come along on the journey~

Nickname— “Rogue”

Age— 28

Height— 5’11”

The bastard daughter of a famous jewel merchant

— Had a twin brother who’s died when they were 19. He was the younger one.

One of the only people Albus might consider a friend. The two met just a few years prior to the BW storyline. They’ve always somehow managed to run into each other often during their quests. After becoming used to the unexpected company, even battling it out at one point thinking one was following the other, they’ve always ended up getting drinks while catching up or even tagging along on the other’s jobs for the hell of it depending on circumstances.

Rogue is a equable person with a very witty sense of humor. She has no problem joining in when Albus messes with his brother, but generally doesn’t make it a habit to target Devlin personally. She even sided with the sister when choosing to bring Devlin along on the mission as they’d benefit from his knowledge of the ship. You could even say she became rather fond of his presence over the course of their journey.

She has a bit of a bent moral compass, having no problem holding anyone at knifepoint and stealing whatever she can get her hands on, but can also understand restraint and sensibility. She’s very straightforward and persistent, is rarely ever hesitate in her actions..

She is very loyal to those who’ve managed to earn her respect and isn't quick to give up on the few she cares about/trusts.

Skills—

Rogue is a skilled acrobat and is resourceful with her surroundings, which allows her to swiftly navigate through busy environments without being caught.

She’s trained in knife mastery and hand-to-hand combat. She carries two curved daggers attached to the back of her belts—the context of them being obtained is irrelevant..

(BONUS)

I also put together a vc for her because why not :)

The Epilogue dropped today: Mochi Madness. Its not a DLC, but rather an Event that's like a tad more complicated version of past events on the DS and GBA games- Such as how you'd obtain Victini, Darkrai, Shaymin, etc.

Although, I'll be honest, I wouldn't call it an "epilogue" because all it really does is introduce the friend groups to each other and then have a fun side adventure. Think of it like a fun, campy OVA or special episode to a concluded season. An "epilogue" would have done something to tie up the final loose ends of the story, imo.

But I'm not going to be a downer about it- This was fun, hilarious, and honestly what I've always wanted Events to be before they became mythical pokemon handouts. Although, I would have rather had some more to do, such as some of those strange structures deeper in Oni Mountain or just delving deeper into the connections between Ogerpon, Pecharunt, and the Lousy Three- although they were at least decent enough to provide small easter eggs to it, such as Ogerpon crying out when you bring her out to battle Pecharunt, Pecharunt crying out when fighting one of the Three, and Carmine talking about how Pecharunt and the Lousy Three were "definitely connected."

Its a campy little side adventure, and that's fine. I would have loved to see Carmine have more interaction with the gang, and to see the gang enjoy the festival or explore more of Kitakami, but as I figured with the end of Indigo Disk, I figured they just wanted to be done with Scarlet and Violet. Kieran had a great "redemption?" arc kind of, or at least we were able to actually work together with him and get some quality time with him in his right state of mind, and honestly I'm just thrilled to know that Arven considers us his best friend to the point he gets jealous of newbies.

Oh, and now Kieran and Carmine will appear randomly in the BB Club Room- it's a bitch and a half to get them to show up, but you can speed up the process slightly by using the system calendar to go forward a day until one or both show up. Nemona, Penny, and Arven are part of the coach system now, so all you need is about 1800 BP to get them all maxed out, and you can rebattle them on command. They also have fun interactions with each other and other characters, such as Arven learning about how "Toedscruel" from other regions can swim, Penny expanding on the facility Blueberry Academy is attached to, and Nemona actually offering up some more of her own backstory.

As for Pecharunt itself- I'll admit. I'm very let down. I thought the way things were played out before that it was building up to be this mastermind behind everything, but it's just a little runt. That's fine too, in the end, I love a good little gremlin bastard child. Its ability is pretty insane, too, automatically stacking Confusion on top of Poison status you inflict on your opponent.

Perhaps there was a much, much bigger story planned out involving it, Ogerpon, and the Loyal Three, but ultimately time, like usual, was something they sacrificed to get it out the door. Perhaps this was always the plan. Who knows.

As it wasn't DLC and it was just an extension of Indigo Disk's DLC, I'll just judge it a 7/10 for what was provided. It was fun enough, got some great laughs, some fun animations, I just wish there was more to it, and I'll always be a bit bitter that it wasn't the final answers to the story I've been seeking, nor was it more than just a gag Pokemon in the end. Still, I would love more Event Pokemon in this style. No more Zarudes or Zeraoras, give me Pecharunt all day any day.

ok i have some real thoughts on the teal mask dlc that are more related to ogerpon + the "loyal three" + carmine so i'm just gonna talk abt those now

so like to be clear i've already been ruminating this for a couple days and after finishing the dlc and peaking a little bit at other people's thoughts so far there's a couple things i want to add

if you don't know what i'm talking about here the momotaro story has historically been used quite prolifically by japan as a form of imperial propaganda; the oni/ogres being the 'savages' of other nations who need to be punished, persecuted, plundered-- controlled by japan and it's allies.

that's why i found it specifically interesting that it wasn't just ogerpon, but ogerpon and a human, who were feared and hated as outsiders in the story and the beasts driven purely by greed were praised for driving them out-- with the human's death being totally written out of history

of course this is still a children's game, and i think it was handled quite well that while the humans praised the "loyal three" for terrible reasons that they apologize for, and the beasts had done something selfish, greedy, and malicious-- they're kind of just like, bandits, on their own, lol? they killed ogerpon's trainer and ogerpon killed them in both retaliation and self-defense with some bonks on the head, which is almost cartoonish when described like that. the tragedy here is that the people's xenophobia (actually more implicitly racism here, with what the human and ogerpon having to hide their faces implies) got a person killed (if they hadn't needed those masks, would they have lived peacefully?) and decided the monster in this situation was ogerpon. but of course, in the future, this eventually all gets cleared up, because again, it's not too entrenched and this is a children's game.

it also makes it more interesting that they use carmine as the voice to make repeated references to the idea of outsiders being unwelcome, because she doesn't really represent the ideology ogerpon's story is meant to push against more that she exists to keep that theme at the forefront of your mind

like, she does get a line about not wanting her home to become a tourist's playground at the end which, relatable. but it's also clear throughout the story that she doesn't actually hate outsiders before she says that-- she obviously cares a lot about her home and doesn't want it to be looked down on, rather than actually looking down on or hating people for being from outside the village. i mean, she does think everyone else is a chump, but that's more related to her personal ego lmao

idk it's just very interesting as a Take. like there's a lot that's juicy there. the teal mask was short and it's not really pushing any new boundaries here, BUT. it was deftly written, much to say about it!

also obviously i named ogerpon ponpon. becos of... rhythm tengoku gba...

[goodboyaudios]

Hey gba, I was doing some theorising about the new series and it got me thinking

What even is a fragment?

Like the only fragment that we know off is knewmon (idk if that's how you spell it) who is obviously a fragment of loyal but like...how?

How did loyal become a fragment?

Oh, you mean that necklace Forks had! Okay, yeah, I'm with you.

Someone here on Tumblr mentioned the idea that hair stores memories. Well, for angels like Loyal, that would be stored in feathers. And, if and/or when Loyal dies, the feather would become active in trying to make sure that he never dies by preserving the memories it has and solidifying them into a new Loyal.

Silly theory about Sims 2 DS being a reality show

In the Sims 2 GBA there are two endings where in the final mission  “It All Came to an End”, Optimum Alfred tells everyone the truth about how they are all on a TV show and that the player knew all along. This causes the sims of Strangetown to turn on the player and the player to be thrown in jail. Daddy Bigbucks offers to bail the player out if they do what he says. The player can either agree or refuse.

If the players side with him, the ending will he make a handful of the townspeople apologize personally to the player, and say that next season, they will be a superhero and the Mayor of Strangetown. What’s interesting in the Sims 2 on the DS the player character does eventually become a superhero.

My theory is that Sims 2 DS is simply another season of Strangetown. After the events of Sims 2 GBA Daddy Bigbucks decides to do a soft reboot of the series, he has Strangetown rebuilt and has the memories of the other Strangetown sims wiped. He buffs up security so no one will find out or tell the truth.

Daddy keeps his promise to the player for being loyal by making them the star of this new season and also achieves his goal of reprogramming Optimum Alfred into an antagonist. As for why Daddy doesn’t appear in the Sims 2 DS I think he’s taken more of a backseat content leaving his employers to run the show.

A bunch of Bonkles fanart I whipped up some time based on background characters from the games, mainly the (officially) unreleased Legend of Mata Nui game but also the GBA game that actually did get released, Quest for the Toa. Barring Podu and Nobua, none of these guys were provided with names, so I took it upon myself to come up with some for them. I should note that I’m operating with the idea that there’s a more even sex distribution throughout the tribes (even if the Ga-Matoran are still predominantly women) and as always, credit goes to @agatharights for coming up with the Matoran baseline that I’ve come to work off of.

Podu: Among the toughest of the Po-Matoran, Podu is an active member of the Po-Koro guard, protecting his people from whatever threat may emerge from the sea of sand. Though not as renowned an athelete as Hewkii, Podu is still quite accomplished as a Kohli player, possessing a powerful kick that can plow through any opposing team’s defense. Loyal and stubborn in equal measure, Podu will insistently plug away at a task until it’s done, though this does give him considerable tunnel vision, leaving him oblivious to very real threats to his own safety until they’re right on top of him.

Harena: Harena is something of an oddity. A traveling Matoran, he spends his time attending to the Vuata Maca trees in each village, ensuring they’re all healthy and producing enough fruit to sustain the Matoran there. Though by all accounts friendly and outgoing, he never seems to stay in one place for too long, constantly hopping around to keep an eye on each village’s tree. The other Matoran are typically glad to provide him with hospitality whenever he arrives, but when asked where his home is, his response is a vague “I go where the winds of fate take me.”

Nobua: The youngest child of Turaga Whenua, Nobua has great dreams and aspirations, no doubt inspired by the adventures of the wandering Ta-Matoran Takua. He’s particularly fascinated by the legends of the Toa and hopes that one day he’ll get the chance to meet one of them in person. Still too young to help out in the mines directly, he often helps his father out with administrative work.

Ombak: A rare non-hybrid Ga-Matoran born biologically male, Ombak is an accomplished surfer... and under an immense amount of pressure to pick a spouse so as to potentially keep the genetic strain going. Problem is, he doesn't really click with any of his suitresses and seems to have eyes elsewhere.

Tauraki: Very few Po-Matoran would earnestly profess to prefer the floating village of Ga-Koro to their desert home, but Tauraki has never been comfortable in the arid Po-Wahi and has made no secret of his desire to move to a more temperate climate. Unlike most of his kin, he's readily thrown himself at swimming lessons courtesy of regular visitor Macku, which she provides in exchange for sneaking her into the village to see Hewkii.

Phiri: An artist at heart dreaming of following in the footsteps of Kopeke, the only thing holding Phiri back... is her own crippling lack of self-confidence. Believing herself to be no good at the craft of ice sculpting, she instead resigns herself to sentry duty at the village's borders, where she's clearly bored out of her mind.

Iskra: The resident gossip of Ta-Koro, Iskra is on top of the rumors going around the village, regardless of their basis in the truth. She's excellent at spinning a yarn, however, and is incredibly charismatic. Vakama wishes she would stop and check her sources every once in a while.

Sekhala: A Po-Matoran athlete, Sekhala is an accomplished goalie who aspires to one day outclass Hewkii himself. Her boisterous nature is endearing to many of her compatriots, though annoying to others.

Beku: An oddly-colored Ko-Matoran, Beku isn't quite as well adjusted to the cold as his fellow tribesmen. Like Tauraki of Po-Koro, he's considered moving out to another village, one with a warmer climate and a more open and welcoming atmosphere.

Alavai: A Ga-Ko Hybrid, Alavai prefers cooler waters and can often be found near the base of Ko-Wahi swimming in its streams. Turaga Nokama can't help but see aspects of the late Toa Mangai Kanae in her, though she can't bring herself to say anything on the matter.

Handaki: An Onu-Matoran miner, Handaki's arms double as pistons that allow him to pound his way through solid rock. A serious, focused sort, Handaki is a dedicated worker and, off shift, a quiet, contemplative sort who puts his hands towards more delicate tasks like painting.

Moli: One of the Takara dancers of Ta-Koro, Moli prides herself on her mastery of expressing concepts through movement. She keeps close contact with the other dancers of the village and will often collaborate with them for mutual benefit.

What do you want out of Pokemon Day next month

Well, after no doubt spending twenty minutes going over all the mobile stuff and some special raid event that I'm sure we're gonna get, I really really want them to announce a new Mystery Dungeon.

They literally let us play as our Pokemon in the Indigo Disk and Game Freak loves teasing upcoming content in their current games. Like with the G-Max Toxtricity Poster in Ultra Sun and Moon and the Loyal Three Banner in Medali.

I think Ruby and Sapphire for GBA Online is a big possibility. Maybe FireRed and LeafGreen.

And no, I'm not expecting Black and White remakes. Unless Game Freak is REALLY desperate to get us to forget about Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.

And while I wouldn't say no to a new Legends game, I feel like it's just a little too soon for that.

Also, while I don't play Pokemon Unite, if Ceruledge/Armarouge are revealed for the game, I just might pick it up.

Overall: really hoping for a new Mystery Dungeon. And MAYBE a small teaser for another Legends game.

sorry im late but 4, 12, 14 for the female character ask game

im sorry im late holy shit anyways hi zorua! 💜

4. A heroine you love?

EIRIKA FIRE EMBLEM MY BELOVED 🩷🩷🩷 im gonna be honest my memory of sacred stones is hazy, but it was my first dip into gba fire emblem and eirika (and ephraim i suppose but he doesnt make an appearance until a bit into the earlygame) was my introduction to that era of fe and for that she’ll always have a special place in my heart. also spoilers for ss but idk. i dont think she was stupid for handing it over to lyon bc hello? are we forgetting he’s her childhood best friend???? of course she trusts him! “oh but i wouldnt have done that” YOU CAN SEE THE VILLAINS PERSPECTIVE YOU FUCK. SHE CANNOT!!! worst discourse ever. eirika get behind me

12. An interesting female friendship?

i dont know if this counts as friendship or romance (its been a while since i read it and i dont remember if the queerness was real or if i was imagining it) but have you guys ever read the haunting of hill house by shirley jackson. i actually dont want to say too much bc i think everyone should read it. been thinking about rereading it myself! dont tell me anything about the netflix version though. i dont care. itll never be the book and i cried when i googled the title and the first thing that came up was the show. my life is over. yes im an annoying book > tv/movies person sorry

14. An interesting familial relationship with female characters?

iris and dahlia hawthorne from ace attorney. spoilers for aa3 but i think the idea that you can be so loyal and loving to someone the way that iris was to dahlia that you’d go so far as to impersonate her to let her get away with murder is soooo. urrgghhhhhjkjffkeiahdh. and i dont remember they specified but i think the fact that they left it up in the air as to whether or not dahlia actually loved her back is really fun! did dahlia know iris loved phoenix? was it a mercy that she let their relationship go on as long as it did? or just a misguided error that came to bite her in the ass later? i dont know and i love that! theyre so much fun and theyre so interesting and god i need to replay trials and tribulations.

[misswoozi]

I don't want to restart my Pokemon Y because I don't want to lose my save file 😅 So I'm thinking of buying Pokemon X so I can play the game a second time lol.

Anyway! What's your favourite Pokemon game/which do you have fondest memories of?

- Suwitru

Definitely get Pokémon X! You can get it on Etsy for a little less than retail!

I'm a huge fan of Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Sapphire but I think I have the fondest memories with Crystal! I played that on my purple GBA so much as a kid and I loved it. I was so loyal to my Meganium lmao

Chapter 9 Part 8: Rescue Chains are like Daisy Chains but with Rescues

Now, people who are good at GBA Fire Emblem, especially people who do low turn count playthroughs, will not be impressed, but I use a (very small) rescue chain here to get Ephraim to the boss sooner.

In this case, there is no advantage per se. I just want to get this map done with.

Step 1: Kyle picks Ephraim up

Kyle waits here, next to Vanessa, who hasn't moved yet.

Vanessa takes Ephraim from Kyle...

...and cantos herself up here.

This lets Seth run up here and take Ephraim and immediately drop him so that he can act next turn.

His action will be to mess the boss up.

Like this!

Look at that beautiful 23 hit rate the boss has from the axe reaver Ephraim has equipped!

In other goings on, Tana finishes off the monk, and Colm opens the final chest.

It has a restore staff, which heals status debuffs. You know, like the sleep that the monks kept using on us throughout this map!

But don't worry, getting the staff this late in the map is not a waste. There will be plenty of opportunities to deal with status effects later in the game.

I have Artur take a pot shot at the boss, and I make sure to rescue Ephraim out of there.

Lute is close enough that she can take a shot at the boss too.

Then I think about who I want to give this experience to. I decide that Seth could use a level up, why not? So Seth finishes the boss off and picks up the killer axe.

After finishing the map, Seth tells Ephraim that the other soldiers have surrendered. Ephraim asks one soldier about the situation in Grado, and he finds out that Dussel, his former lance teacher, has in fact been expressing his opposition to the war. The soldier says that Dussel's position has become precarious as a result.

Ephraim is relieved in a way to hear that his former teacher hasn't changed from the principled person he was when Ephraim knew him.

But when Ephraim asks about the crown prince, Lyon, he gets a much more ominous answer. The soldier says that there are rumors coming from the castle that it was actually Lyon who really ordered the invasion of Renais, and the start of this war.

Ephraim is shocked to hear this and almost lashes out at the soldier. This is not the Lyon that he knew...

Ephraim shares what he's heard with Seth, and he shares his hope that Dussel can still be convinced to not fight. Seth is not optimistic, and warns Ephraim not to be so either.

Ephraim responds, "No matter who the opponent may be, I will take down whomever I need to take down."

Ephraim also tells Myrrh that she should really go back to Frelia because he can't guarantee that he'll be able to protect her from here on out as he moves into Grado.

Myrrh refuses and says that she can feel her dragon stone in Grado. She insists on coming with Ephraim, and he says, "When you look at me with those eyes, I can't help but think of Eirika".

...which is absolutely adorable. What a brother!

For the most part, Ephraim is definitely a bit of a meat-head jock. But he has genuine moments of showing understanding for other people, and of softness like this where you can see that he is more than just a dumb dude who likes to lance his way through life.

In fact, maybe the fact that he rarely reveals his perceptiveness is part of what makes him so smart? Is Ephraim the precursor to Timerra???

Meanwhile, in Grado, Dussel is sent out on an assignment, and then the emperor talks to Selena alone. She also has a task to complete.

She is to follow Dussel. And she is to attack and kill him.

The emperor says that Dussel (who remember, has been voicing his doubts about the war) has turned traitor and is ready to side with Renais.

Selena protests that there must be some mistake at first, but the emperor insists, and she gives in, saying, "No, there can't be any mistake in your majesty's words".

Selena and Dussel are both loyal, true knights. But Dussel seems more willing to question what is happening, whereas Selena can't bring herself to admit that the emperor could possibly be wrong, or that following his every wish could be less than ideal.

Dussel's reasons for being a loyal general are never really explored to my knowledge, but Selena's town was poor when she was young, and during a famine, the emperor personally sent supplies to them which allowed them to survive. Selena has a very personal reason for her allegiance to the emperor, so in a way it's not surprising how much less willing she is to question what is happening around her. She feels that she, and everyone in the village she grew up in, owes their life to the emperor.

Poor Selena...

I really want some of the badass Pokemon romhackers/fangame makers to create a loyal fan creation in the style of the GBA era, with no unnecessary gimmicks or a child's idea of "adult" content, just with all the modern game's Pokemon designs present. If I could pay someone to do this right now I would. They're good Pokemon, Jeb. The games themselves just suck now.

opinion on Luna from TOT/AP? or Kai if you're not as familiar with TOT/AP.

I’ve read a lot of fic taking place in Tree of Tranquility/Animal Parade, but I haven’t played the games.  Unfortunately, I haven’t read much fic on Luna, so I wouldn’t have much to go off of her besides looking at a wiki.  I do, however, have a lot of experience with Kai, so let’s talk about our favorite summer visitor!

As the main competition in the swimming festivals, I feel compelled to say once more: 

Let’s dive in!

How I feel about this character: Harvest Moon 64:

Kai is humble, hardworking, and loyal to a fault.  He thinks very highly of his boss (I don’t recall if they actually refer to Gotz by name in this game) and puts Karen on a pedestal.  He’s raising money for his family, and if the vineyard isn’t restored and Karen leaves, Kai ends up leaving as well.  This version of Kai leaves me a little uncomfortable in the way he doesn’t seem to stick up for himself at all.  We can all talk about the elephant in the room as well - one of the few non-white characters referring to his boss as “the master” doesn’t feel very comfortable, although this looks like a translation of master being an owner of a business based on Popuri’s comment to Jeff, who runs the bakery:

Still, when I see Kai leave comments like this, I can’t help but raise my eyebrows a little. 

This Kai deserved so much better, and I’m glad that they gave him some confidence in later incarnations.

Mineral Town:

Depending on what game and version of the game you’re playing, Kai can come off as simply charismatic and playful to snarky and a bit womanizing.  For example in HM for Girl, Kai will ask Popuri to watch the fireworks with him solely to get a rise out of Rick.  In the GBA games, Kai feels very laid back and happy with his on the go lifestyle.  He doesn’t want to cause a rift in Popuri’s family despite not getting along with his own family.  Rick is dealing with his own abandonment issues from his father and sees Kai as a threat, although I really feel that it’s not so much Kai himself as it is the fact that he travels and won’t be around (like Rod).

All the people I ship romantically with this character

HM 64: Kai x Elli?: I’m a little unsure about shipping Kai with anyone in this game, as I don’t think the pedestal he puts Karen is on is healthy.  If I shipped him with anyone, they’d need to be very down to earth and help him with his confidence.  Elli would be my main candidate for him, but it’s possible she’d worry about him working too hard and he’d ultimately feel like he has to choose between Gotz and Elli.

Mineral Town: Kai x pretty much everyone: As I’ve discussed with @friendofbats Kai is such a versatile character in Mineral town and he has this charisma about him that makes him a good match for a lot of characters.  Popuri is the one who makes the suggestion that they travel the world together, and Kai only wants to do it if Lillia agrees.  Only Rick is opposed (but one could easily theorize that Kai and Rick are ex-lovers based on some of Rick’s dialogue) and Kai still handles the situation with dignity.  Kai is a people-pleaser for sure, and this shows up in his post-wedding event where Popuri begs for a necklace and he finally breaks down and buys it for her despite the high price tag.

So, I guess I could list some of my favorite ships here, even though I feel like Kai would be great with most characters:

Kai x Karen: Now this version of Kai is fantastic with this version of Karen.  They both have confidence and would raise each other up while still remaining playful and romantic.

Kai x Gray: These two are best friends in the game, but they’d be really cute lovers, too.  I can see Kai helping Gray with his frustrations about Saibara, and Gray being one of his number one customers.

Kai x Cliff: I could see Cliff really admiring Kai for the way he can support himself with his own business and they would have a lot to talk about regarding their families.  I think that Kai would be able to help Cliff come out of his shell a bit, too.

Kai x Ann: They both love cooking, they’re both playful.  I could see them teaching each other new things in the kitchen and having picnics on the beach.  I love this rare pair, and honestly, it’s one of my favorites.

My non-romantic OTP for this character

HM64: 

Kai/Farmer: Kai would be a good friend for the farmer.  They’re both from humble beginnings and work hard.  They’d have a lot to relate to each other about.  I can see them spending evenings at the bar regularly.

Kai/Harris/Jeff: I think after a few drinks, these three guys would easily bond, boosting each other up and as they try to overcome their low self-confidence.

Mineral Town:

Kai/everyone but Rick and all the men insecure in themselves who project onto Kai, such as Duke.

Kai/Gray/Cliff: I absolutely adore the dynamics of these three and wish it was touched on in the game.  I headcanon them interacting quite a bit as they share a room.  Even if it were BTN where there are two rooms, I still feel like the three of them would see each other enough that they’d bond pretty quickly.

My unpopular opinion about this character

While I do think that Kai works well with a lot of characters, I do feel like him and Popuri aren’t the best couple in the Mineral Town games.  There seems to be a lot of tugging from Popuri, and I feel that she has this idealized view of what traveling the world would actually be like, versus Kai, who has actually done it and knows it’s a lot of work.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

HM64 Kai:

A retranslation of the dialogue to keep him from calling Gotz and Karen “The Master” and “The Master’s Daughter” would be appreciated.  I’d also love to see some development from him, becoming more outwardly confident in the way he carries himself.  He’s clearly happier when the vineyard is doing better, but he seems more focused on the fact that Gotz and Karen are happy than expressing his own feelings on the matter.

Mineral Town Kai:

I wish that Kai ended up being a year-round guest if you completed some sort of requirement for him after maxing out his friendship level.  Like, maybe you’d need to help convince him by going around town and having high friendship with people who would be potential customers.  I liked the idea of the beach shack, and it gives me more of a reason to visit the beach.

Also in both games, I would love to know more about his family.  There’s so much untapped potential!

Thank you for the ask!  Kai is such a fun character, and despite only being around a season out of the year, he leaves such a great impression on me.  I hope you have a wonderful day! <3
