🎉HAPPY SECOND ANNIVERSARY TO PLA!!🎉

Happy two years to such a wonderful game that’s given me the gift of wonderful friends and a really awesome community to engage with and be a part of!

Worked really hard to get a fic out before my work shift for the occasion, but that may not happen; so expect a new fic tonight/tomorrow!

nemona's sync pair story in pokemon masters ex can be viewed anytime as soon as you recruit her, and in just a couple minutes of dialogue we scarlet/violet story analyzers get some great subtext-made-text and new subtext:

confirmation of one instance of nemona working herself really hard for the sake of others and seeing anything less as a display of her own weakness and letting them down (even if the others are her pokemon in this case). it's something that i thought always seemed likely to be a theme with her if we knew more about her, with stuff like her mostly un-commented-on arm brace / compression glove and perfectly clean room nearly devoid of personality outside of her meticulous schedule and displays of her achievements, and what that implied about her relationship with her family, teachers, and idol

recontextualization of why she wears sporty athletic wear and runs around everywhere, even though she's a straight-A nerd who has to take a break every 50 feet when she initially takes you to school and is still winded enough to be worthy of comment from arven by the time you're running around in area zero

the fact that penny, the otaku shut-in, did not get called out like this means either she performed exactly as arven expected her to based on how she looked, or that nemona was doing the worst out of all of the group and might actually have some kind of chronic condition / disability like some fans theorize. nemona's stamina now being revealed to be a long standing insecurity of hers despite shrugging it off with a joke in area zero implies the latter to me

if she shrugged off a long standing insecurity with a joke, that could potentially say a lot about any other things she didn't want to make a big deal about that fans are a little suspicious of, like saying her parents were "hands-off in a good way" with her while her sister got all the attention, which i definitely think was an deflective understatement or simply not realizing there's a problem

and if her low stamina and "bad throwing" are in fact due to some kind of condition and mostly out of her control, that also makes her calling herself weak that much more tragically unfair to herself. someone hug this kid please

i trust these folks to write a compelling nemona if they were given the chance to, not just a fun and cute one. they get it.

her 15 minute storyline from her debut event is mostly just good fun with her meeting a bunch of people and almost winning a big tournament with her new friends hilda and bede. it also, however, touches upon how sad she is that people mostly get jealous of her rather than feel inspired by her (which she actually comes up with a motivational speech to try and combat this time, with hilda's help). it even has her tell blue and bede that florian/juliana back home is "a precious treasure" to her, which made me melt into boiling taffy.

now i'm looking forward to whatever else they come up with when nemona's more plot-driving friends arrive. despite how cheesy and hit-or-miss pokemon masters tends to be, they're treating scarlet/violet with respect so far. it's canon to me. i kinda need that right now when we're not sure what the friend trio are gonna get in the DLC of the actual game.

soo... Pokemon Masters' next update's revealed:

Everybody will Save Florian, Juliana, Carmine, Kieran and Morgan go to Pasio!

Florian, Juliana, Carmine, Kieran and Morgan will arrives to Pasio soon!

See you next weeks!

[claitea]

can't tell you how terrified i was when pokemas put brycen in grusha's newly released story - brycen being an actor who was injured and retired, became a gym leader, and returned to acting later - when grusha's whole thing is about being a snowboarder who was injured and forced to retire, became a gym leader and STAYED a gym leader. i thought they were going to undermine literally EVERYTHING that made grusha an interesting character oh my god

[tsubasagirl]

Thank you DeNa. (part 2)

[prismportrait]

Me: it is good that DeNA continues to offering surprising combinations and keep us on our toes! I appreciate that the obvious is not chosen all of the time

Also Me: 3.5 years in what do you MEAN that Tate and Liza got sparkling new alt outfits before WALLACE????????????

[lollitree]

Omg they just gave up for Ball Guy, they have a super American accent

[tlkdraws]

Drew Arven in Victor’s Palentine’s outfit from the Pokemon Masters EX datamine because he’s the only Palentine I’d want ;w;

I know he’s not even in the game yet but the Greedent apron would have been perfect for him haha.

Messing around with rendering and coloring things differently, things are different every time I draw 🙃
