Kimono Grimsley Experiment

[nonovyabuisness]

I swear those two are more similar then we might think.

No I haven’t been reading fanfics that picture them as related by blood, what are you talking about.

Grimsley: I study new moves during the day—and then battle with them at night. That's my style.

POKEMAS REALLY SAID GOOD MORNING HAPPY NEW YEAR YOU DESERVE SOMETHING NICE

Calling all Submas fans!

Do you want Ingo and Emmet to reunite in Pokemon Masters?

The game developers have released a player feedback survey, which, among other things, asks what stories and trainers we'd like to see in Masters in the future. Notably, one suggested option is whether we would like "stories that continue the ones in the main Pokémon games". Another asks "what combination of trainers you would most like to see interact in Masters?"

It would be great for all Submas fans to fill it out and suggest that they give closure to Ingo and Emmet's story! There's precedent for such a thing - the long awaited reunion between N and the BW protagonist (Hilbert in Masters) happened in the Story Event "The Ideal Formula" (a YouTube recording of the story can be seen here https://youtu.be/zWyiuVVigMo?si=8UHz6xbcVvgI4URN).

Some reasons you could use to justify why they should let Ingo and Emmet reunite in Masters:

The arrival of Hisuian sync pairs such as Irida, Adaman, Akari and Rei make this interaction plausible and highly anticipated.

Ingo and Emmet are two of the most popular trainers from BW/B2W2, and only got more popular after PLA. They have a massive fanbase, both in Japan and internationally, that would be attracted to the game (and incentivised to pull) if such an event occurred.

Although another version of Ingo already exists on Pasio, similar things have happened before with alts such as Classic Elesa, Champion Iris and Kimono Grimsley (from his appearance in Alola).

One of Masters' greatest strengths is that it is uniquely positioned to deliver character writing and interactions that the main games were not able to address. Such as the aforementioned reunion between the BW protagonist and N. This would utilise that unique space to finally give closure on Ingo and Emmet's unexplained and heartwrenching separation.

But don't feel the need to use my words - use your own! Unique responses are great and also increase the chances that we'll be taken seriously.

So where's the survey link? Well, I would link it, but every user account in Pokémon Masters (when set to English - you can change this in the settings!) has its own unique link with an id generated on the end. The survey technically still works without it but I'd prefer to be on the safe side to make sure our answers count! The survey can be found in your message box (after setting your game language to English as necessary.)

The survey runs from 10/29/2023 11:00 p.m. PT – 11/12/2023 9:59 p.m. PT. So we've got until November 12 to spread the word!

Note that every person can only fill the survey out once.

We nearly got Ingo to be the #1 Tumblr Sexyman. We can do this!

genuinely curious what led to the decision to have Grimsley here. like yeah he's on a random beach in a remote part of another continent wearing a kimono for some reason and just. handing out ride pagers?

you could have put virtually any character here and had it make as much sense as having Grimsley show up. the only connection i can think of is that he has a Sharpedo in his rematch team?

honestly my working theory is that someone on the dev team just really liked Grimsley and gave him a random cameo for no reason. which, honestly, super valid

[shipyardghostman]

my favorite grimsley outfit has to be his kimono when he visits Alola...

Alolan Grimsley my beloved... Shaking your hand anon you have good taste bc Alolan Grimsley is also my favorite.

One thing I often like to note is that his attire looks like a yukata, which is a type of kimono worn in summer festivals and bathhouses, which makes sense since that would be much more loose and breathable for Alola's weather. I think a lot about it and why they put him in a pure white yukata. I know there's symbolism for white kimonos but I don't know if that extends to yukatas. Either way I still like how it seems to kinda signify death. It's a good outfit and update to his design. They gave him a mullet hehe.

Transcript

Grimsley: When people aren't winning, they tend to get frustrated and impatient.

Grimsley: At times like that, the trick is to relax and enjoy the battle

Grimsley: Fortune smiles not on those who obsess over winning or losing. It shines on those who are having the most fun.

Some Grimsley!

[bespectacled-bookwyrm]

I was inspired by N in his kimono, and put Colress in one, too! (And Ghost-style Zoroark from Pokémon Unite.)

His Hisuian Zorua is called Alecto, and I did a post ages ago featuring her.

I really tried to make the red and white work, but it just didn’t suit Colress - so I used H-Zorua’s shiny colours instead! :D

(I need to learn to draw N in his kimono, too - then they can be kimono buddies!)

(Also Grimsley is absolutely moonstruck when he sees Colress all dressed up like this, much to the amusement of everyone else.)

The drawing style is quite rough, and the colours were hastily done, but I really like it!

I’m very proud of this!

Thoughts? :)
