was talking about this in vc but i honestly think kieran’s arc is stronger without the possession angle. like, saying as someone who LOVES the possession trope usually, you gotta be careful about when you use it. i like that kieran nearly sabotages his relationships and life on his own and that he ruined his own chance to get close to ogerpon and that he spirals and spirals until terapagos forces him to look at the reality of his situation, and idk i feel like if he was just being puppeteered by pecharunt then it would have had significantly less weight cause now hes just being mind controlled, it’s not him it’s the puppet etc

#i mean i think it could be done right but given pokemons track record idk #these two are VASTLY different ik that im not saying kierans just like her #but lusamine and nihilego come to mind. where the narrative goes ‘’omg none of that was her!! it was this evil pokemon influencing her!!’’#when like hellooooo its so much more interesting if its all her and nihilego brought out her worst impulses #and i feel like if kieran was possessed then it wouldve been ‘’uwu he didnt mean anything he did! it was just One Evil Pokemon!’’#echoed voice
