pokémon: advanced challenge (op 7)

okay so this is like a rant and questions and shit i have on my mind about pokemon advanced/contestshipping because i can

something that has always confused me is— where the HELL did solidad come from? during the entirety of the hoenn contest circuit we never saw her, neither in the entirety of the kanto circuit UNTIL the grand festival. and you can go and counter this with a “she only started participating in contests during the kanto circuit” which like, yes, is reasonable. there’s one thing that very much bothers me though. in the spontaneous combusken episode brianna (who looked up to drew) literally STATED may was the only female coordinator he had respect for. and she is OBSESSED with him, and watched all of his contests, by the way. and then, SOLIDAD COMES IN??? HUH??? atp i’m convinced solidad was like a last minute decision to say some shit about drew because obviously he ain’t the character so do so himself, and that feels so wrong to me. like her only reason of existence in the anime is just to spill stuff from drew’s past or whatever.. you could’ve introduced her sooner, and then later it could’ve been like “woah! she knows DREW?” but no she just came out of nowhere and that was it. ok so that’s point one

secondly, why did they only reveal the reason harley dislikes may so much is at the END of the kanto circuit? a whole ass season after they even met? like we get convinced in the beginning he just hates this girl because he called his pokemon scary and didn’t go all crazy over his cookies, and then like bam this girl that looked like her stole his cookies and that’s why he’s so angry. so what was the point of the first reason he hated her so much..??? and with this you could counter “well he didn’t recognize her yet” would be fair except they look exactly the fuckinf same, OR “he just kept it to himself” which i find not so fitting as harley, each time we get a shot of him just doing his own thing, he talks to himself and is just constantly rambling about. so if he DID recognize her, i feel like he would’ve said at least SOMETHING about that.

thirdly, why the hell was drew in only 2 contests along with may? ONLY FUCKING TWO leading up to both of the grand festivals. which like, all right, i do understand, they want their battles to be long awaited and heated, totally fair. but it feels so wrong to call him a main rival, if, out of quite a few contests she participated in, she only battled him face to face once, in her first contest. the rest of the things he really only did is just keep an eye on may and make a haughty comment here and there to piss her off, and stopping harley, a few times. it’s exciting, sure, but it would’ve been so much more rewarding if may won from him after more than just two losses (in actual competitions) but, again, that’s the way i look at it.

fourth, this is much rather more rambling than a straight up question i ask myself every so often, but… i’ve read a shit ton of contestshipping fics. and thing i noticed very frequently is that in the stories that are written drew always has a burning hatred against harley, which feels odd. because, during the entirety of the series, the only moment he really got mad was after the whole assist commotion. the rest of the times? he laughed him off, for instance after harley lost to may in the hoenn grand festival, and in mays last contest before the kanto grand festival. "arent you smart!” and the “you better not make me any angrier drew” “back at ya” like bro this mf does not feel threatened by him AT ALL. he even complimented that he raised his pokemon very well, which, i am sure he wouldn’t have said if he hated him as much as people make out as he does. and the brianna being really fuckinf bratty and evil thing… if anything she’d seem somewhat of a sensitive and shy girl, in worst case scenario she’d call into a depression if they got together or something.

fifth, and my last question, how the hell are there enough contests to give out ribbons? aren’t there like, more than 200 participants in one grand festival? and every coordinator needs at least 5 ribbons? that means 1000 ribbons to be given out, in one year, in one region. and you have like the wallace cup thing, but it’s held every year, and the ribbon from the wallace cup can be used in any region, so that’s barely filling anything in. so where the HELL do the 999 ribbons come from? wouldn’t they have to hold like a dozen of contests? because, obviously, there’s coordinators who have less than 5 ribbons, unable to enter in the grand festival, which means there’s only more ribbons to add up to the 1000 total. and yeah, more ribbons could be given out in smaller contests in smaller towns, but there was never much mention of that. it’s just really fucking vague

that was my rant. please tell me what you think………please

Pokémon Rewatch Update

Last time I was in Advanced. Now it's like 2 months later almost and I am in Advanced Challenge. May just won her first contest ribbon (if that tells you how slow I am about this).

I'm not in a rush to binge-watch all of Pokemon again but whenever I sit down I do turn the TV on and the DVD player picks up right where it left off, so that's how I'm doing this. Anyway, she won her first ribbon that's super exciting 😊 & I still give Drew crap because I can, lol

I wanted to share this during Pokémon Day. But I got caught up with other things in life.

The greatest star Hoenn has to offer.

You know it's gone bad if you finished Pokemon Emerald, Fire Red, White 2, Platinum, Soul Silver and Blazed Glazed in the span of 2 and a half weeks

Unpopular Opinion:

Pokemon: Advanced Challenge had the best opening theme song amongst all the seasons. Change my mind.

I will always get whiplash every time a random youtuber uses unwavering emotions jokingly because of something stupidly "sad".

Mind if I request how kieran and Drayton try to date the reader(who they both have a crush on)?

Oh god, it's a MESS 😭 Get ready for some angst

They're constantly competing for your affection. Sometimes they get so pissed at each other that their Pokemon start fighting too, and Lacey has to kick them both out of the clubroom.

Kieran is so sick of Drayton; every time you come close to having an intimate moment with Kieran, Drayton is always somehow in the background making snarky comments or just straight up interrupting them.

Drayton is... well, he's annoying. He TRIES to be as annoying as possible. Always interrupting you and Kieran, always trying to flirt with you in a way that Kieran hates. He knows you get flustered by his advances, and he KNOWS you're interested in both of them-- so he doesn't back down from a challenge.

Kieran's most likely the first to snap and just ask you to choose between him and Drayton. He's already been pushed around so much his whole life, and he is absolutely NOT losing you again.

If you choose Kieran, he's obviously delighted and feels relieved he no longer has to compete with the annoying dragon boy for your affection. Drayton backs down, though he's secretly very hurt about it. He doesn't really speak to you after that, partly out of respect, but partly because it hurts his heart to see you taking pity on him.

If you choose Drayton though... Kieran doesn't take it well. You and Drayton look so happy together... and once again, Kieran lost something important in his life to someone else. It's not fair. Why him? Why, why is it always him? No words can comfort or reach him. He's a cold, shell of the person he once was.
