sina and dexio in pokemas gave me a newfound appreciation for xy because it becomes a better game the moment you perceive it as this

Hello to the like 3 Sina and Dexio fans ever

Sina and Dexio and their weird dog

[jadeazora]

I know we just got three Spotlights recently, but are Sina and Dexio even popular enough to warrant PokeFair? As far as side characters go, they're fairly forgettable. Or is it just because DeNA decided to stick them with Eeveelutions? Espeon for Dexio and Glaceon for Sina, btw.

Looks like a pretty easy skip month tho. I like Eri and the SubMas boys, but we had two Master Pairs last December, so perhaps we'll get more here, or some Arc Suits.

Also, Will EX unlock, finally! (I no longer use him, but he was my main for a while, so I'll give him the boost.)

pmd-ified sina and dexio for @oated and rika for @snekkerdoodles :)

Are Sina and Dexio from the gen6 games just latios and latias??? Is that just what this is??

[a-tale-of-legends]

I can't believe a single line from pokemon masters got me to rethink how I view Sina.

I already mentioned this quote before, particularly in how Sina says it. " I leave before being left. I decide. " This could just be Sina being the diva that she is, but the first time I read this I was like " Sina who hurt you".

Then I thought about her battle sprite in the alola games. How she had a more serious expression compared to Dexio. I always thought it was kinda weird, given how she seemed like the more outgoing between her and Dexio. Not saying that she should be smiley, but like. A smirk would work, you know? But when adding that plus her dialogue I kinda got this new picture in my head about her character.

Also fair warning: this is very much headcanon/ speculation. I dunno if we're ever going to get any insight on Sina's past, and if we do, I doubt it would be this, but hey! That's what headcanons are for. Anyway, I ended up having this perception of Sina as someone who has been hurt in the past in some way. Because of this, she would put an emotional wall between herself and others. She would be catty with others just so they can their distance. All of this is just for her to feel safe and not feel that pain she felt all that time ago. " I leave before being left. I decide".

It makes her relationship with Dexio much sweeter, I think, given how they talk about always having each other's back and being an invincible duo. Given the fact that Dexio can match Sina's silliness - possibly exceed it given his Alola battle sprite - is kinda a testament to how well the work well together and rely on each other. Right and left hand.

Also, I used to think that Sina should have raised dark types to match Dexio and I still kinda believe that, but then pokemas did this:

And given everything I just said, suddenly Glaceon feels like a perfect fit for Sina lol. ( Also I guess bc they respect each other's as equals, they didn't exactly want one type stronger against the other which is fair).

And yeah! All of this comes from a single line of dialogue lol. Thanks for listening to my Ted Talk.

My Pokémon ZA prediction (no leaks no spoilers just headcanon) is that the protags are/are ancestors of Sina and Dexio

By far the most shafted of the recurring cast-(superhero outfits out of nowhere after the climax? Only going to Alola to justify why Zygarde cells are there)

AND YET

There was a Pokemas event featuring them recently. Why would TPC be giving a spotlight to such obscure characters? Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but maybeeee

I gave myself a challenge: create fanart of an already existing landscape with a 200x300 canvas - and so I did! (I upscaled it to 2000x3000 while exporting to ensure better quality.)

I had almost forgotten about Sina and Dexio from Pokemon X and Y making a surprise appearance in Pokemon Sun and Moon, so I decided to draw Sina motivating Dexio to go Mantine surfing on Heahea Beach!

Made w/Aseprite v1.3.7. Permission is not required to use, but credit is highly appreciated. Thank you as always!

Giving Sina a proper Ice Team!

So a while back I made a post about Sina’s team (or lack thereof) in the Alola games, while repeatedly questioning why they didn’t make her a dark type specialist. I gave her a team of Dark types designed around the idea of her and Dexio covering each other’s weaknesses in double battles.

Anyway, let’s get into this.

Glaceon has Snow Cloak, and the Battle Tree gives Sina an Alolan Sandslash and Abomasnow. There’s already the beginnings of a Hail/Snow team here!

I think a good team would be Abomasnow, Alolan Sandslash, Alolan Ninetales, Frosslass, and Glaceon. I’m not sure how good either of our two (2) ice type megas are, but I did leave a slot open for Mega Glalie plus not giving character a full team of six is *looks over at RR* pretty game accurate

did a shit ton of pss icons because i was art blocked and had no better ideas

[billfrancois]

Unfortunately, Dexio and Sina kept getting...distracted...while hunting for Zygarde Cells in Alola-

I wouldn't say I dislike Sina and Dexio as characters (they're too unremarkable for that), but I was never fond of the way they were used in XY because I felt Sycamore sending them to aid us kinda robbed us of an interesting confrontation between him and Lysandre.

Like, the idea of the main villain and a major ally character being friends was a really cool idea that just got pretty much zero development, and the game tries to excuse it with Sycamore going, "Oh, I'm not that tough!" when he's a competent-enough Trainer to be carrying around three Lv50s with full movesets, which, btw, not even Wulfric, THE LAST GYM LEADER IN THE GAME, had (his Abomasnow only has three attacks). Plus, if we can count his demo Pokemon too, that adds Crobat, Chandelure, and DRAGONITE to his team. Bad at battling/not so tough, my ass!

It would have made a mid storyline more memorable if he had joined you on your raid, or if Lysandre had Flare kidnap him in order to save his friend from the culling (justifying Sina and Dexio joining in more as a rescue mission), with the confrontation coming after that final battle with Lysandre, but ultimately failing to get thru to his old friend.

(It was one of the reasons Sycamore was my least favorite Professor at one point. Evolutions and Masters fixed my complaints about him by having him challenge Lysandre on his beliefs, and the latter even shows he's the one person who can get Lysandre to back down a bit and at least provide them an opportunity to make the world a better place this time. In XY tho, he just kinda seemed like a fairweather friend never attempting to try to talk Lysandre down and regretting it later, after his friend had--at least at the time. Like, Masters uses the original Lys tho isn't canon, and who knows what PLZA will do--apparently died when the base got nuked.)
