Special Instructions To begin putting together your Sobble, sew the fin to the top of his head. Do your best to angle it straight forward! Then take the fin stripe and sew it to the front of the fin. Next sew the cheek patches to the front of his head at the bottom corners of the triangle formed by changing colours. Now is a good time to stuff the body and sew it to the back of the head. Then sew the belly patch to his tummy, making sure that it touches the light blue part on the head! next sew two of the limbs on each side of the body right behind the head. Keep them low to the ground! After that sew the remaining two limbs to the bottom of the body. Again, keep 'em low! To make the tail, take the tail ball and wrap the tail around it once. Secure the shape by running a few stitches through it. Then sew the tail to the back of the body near to the booty. If you choose to neele felt the eyes onto your amigurumi, then begin by forming two circles with black roving right above the cheek patches. Next take some blue roving and form a semi-circle around the lower, outer edge of each eye. Finally take some white roving and form a small dot towards the middle, upper part of each eye. Now you're done!

Gen 8 Pokespe Dexholder Predictions (Headcanons)

Good day to you reader. [tips imaginary hat] This post should be shorter than my other Pokespe topics, because this is the conclusion of two long discussions on how elements of the manga are characterized. If you are bored enough to read my other posts of “What is your type?” and “Pokespe Gold, Silver, and Bronze?”, feel free to scroll through the “#pokespe” tag until you find it.

You don't need to do all that work though cause I have a little Sparknoted summary below (skip to astriks to avoid):

Grass type dexholder = character who has self-intrinsic motivation despite life pushing them down and the path to their goal doesn't hurt many people.

Fire type dexholder = character who tramples over anything or anyone in the way of their goal.

Water type dexholder = character who hides important information from other characters and is secretive.

Kanto-Hoenn dexholders = “Golden Age” equivalent of Pokespe; sets the standard (sometimes cliche) characterization of each protagonist type, and heroes and villains are clearly divided into the sides of good and evil.

Sinnoh-Unova dexholders = “Silver Age” equivalent of Pokespe; acts as a transitional period for the medium, widening the target audience, gives chances of redemption for villains, and creating a new hook (in this case that was the magic of friendship).

Kalos-Alola dexholders = “Bronze Age” equivalent of Pokespe; much darker themes and subject matter, protagonists are complex and flawed, and the villains have complicated motives that place them in a grey area.

****You here yet? You good? Got snacks and an adequate attention span? Great.

If you read the huge title, you know what this post is about. This covers my predictions for the Gen 8 Pokespe protagonists and what their arc of the manga will be like.

Actually, this post was designed even before the release trailer for Galar dropped, so I was able to make some generic predictions without any knowledge of the region, character design, or starters.

Following the standard rotation pattern for which characters get the starters, the male playable character would get the water type starter, the female playable character would get the fire type starter, and if there was a third version, some rival character would get the grass type starter.

Plus, following the arc progression outlined above, Gen 8 would have the last group of protagonists placed in the Bronze Age section.

But...what does all that mean???

It's guaranteed that we're getting at least a pair of new dexholders: a water type male and a fire type female. This is actually the relationship we have the least information about out of all possible combinations (grass!male and water!female; fire!male and grass!female, and water!male and fire!female). Compared to the other pairs, there has only been one pairing in Pokespe to have as an example. That being Ruby and Sapphire in the RS arc. So, most of the predictions about the possible dynamic between our new heroes has to be extrapolated from the personalities. With the lack of a grass type, this relationship lacks the emotional stability behind the other two. Their interactions will be more emotionally charged and since no intrinsic self-motivation is present, the words thrown around can cut much deeper.

On top of this remains the Bronze Age elements that would cause these sets of protagonists to be one of the most complex and flawed in the manga to date; with morally grey antagonists and darker topics as a side dish.

Bringing all this information together, the SWSH arc of Pokespe has the potential to be one with high emotional drama between the main character and high situational drama with the complexity of the situation our dexholders are thrown into. And personally, a very complex arc with in-depth looks at the societal problems and character flaws is my cup of tea.

Yet, these doesn't even cover what we got from the reveal trailer. Thanks to the new information, we have the playable character (or future dexholder) designs, the region of Galar, which is based of (I forget if the correct term is the U.K or Great Britain), the names of Sword and Shield, and all three first-stage starter designs and names.

Thus, we can expand further. We know that the male playable character (Sword) will be getting Sobble—our crying chameleon, and the female playable character (Shield) is destined to have the soccer fanatic bunny of Scorbunny.

The rest of this expands into headcanons and fun ideas I have about the new dexholders that follows the evidence, but doesn't stem from it.

I have a very strong love for my idea for Shield in the manga. Everybody has been memeing the heck out of the female trainer design ever since it was released; transforming her into a rough-on-the-edges, cursing every 5 words, Scottish girl. And honestly, I really like that characterization of her and it would fit the fire type dexholder personality trait of pushing through anything or anyone that stands in the way of their goal.

Plus, Scorbunny also gave me extra inspiration. Because I remember distinctly thinking, “Gee, this cursing Scottish girl associated with bunnies reminds me of someone. I forget who?”

This character is Cammie MacCloud from the series Gen:Lock. While I never finished the first season, Cammie was instantly my favorite out of the group, and her personality of excessive sarcasm and cursing with not being afraid to speak her mind would translate well to Shield.

Also, aerial-ace mentioned either on tumblr or on twitter after the release date that it would be cool if one of the protagonists would be royalty and I think Shield being royalty would be cool. Rebelling against the stuffy life of the monarchy, she runs away from home to become a trainer and have the ability to be as brutally honest and un-royal as she wants.

As for Sword, his character is honestly harder for me to peg down. I would love if he matched Sobble as a bundle of nerves and anxiety, but it is really hard to have a secretive character because it requires enough social skills to, you know, keep the secret. What I imagine him as can only be best described like the attitude of early Wally when it comes to battles and Pokemon, a love for research as strong as Clemont, but the social manipulation skills of William Minerva from TPN (and if you are up to date with the manga, you understand exactly who that Minerva is).

Although, if you don't know all these characters, what I picture Sword to be is a boy who loves research—maybe helping the professor when he gets forced to do “field research” and is kicked out of the lab to go on a journey. He would be very adverse to battling and Pokemon, and show extreme inexperience. Yet, if he finds himself in battle, his strategic mind can come up with fool-proof plans; granted he is calm enough to think. Where he would really shine is when he is interacting with people and it is like someone suddenly flipped a switch, and he can talk them into corners with manipulation skills for a darker twist.

The character arcs of my versions of Sword and Shield would be them becoming closer to their namesake. Shield would need to learn to accept responsibility and act more rationally, growing into a great defender for the Galar region. Sword on the other hand would gain confidence in battling and dealing with Pokemon; learning how to take the offensive against evil on a physical battlefield, and not just a mental one.

The reason I gave Sword this darker side is not only because it allows him to be more secretive and casts him into a grey light; but if Shield escaped her noble family because she hated how they could spit out lies to spin people into circles, witnessing Sword do something similar would send her into a fit.

That is all my ideas for both Sword and Shield as Pokespe dexholders in a nutshell. Of course, we don't know what the game story is and since Pokespe nearly directly follows the game canon, it will have a lot of weight on how both their characters can develop. These are just some fun ideas I wanted to write down before I forgot them.

And look at that. This was a very long post.

I should just always assume I’m going to write three pages on any topic I start.
