  5. Witnessed. I am lucky to get to play Pokemon in the land of my poke-ancestors.

    Also, important question. why does the male PC appear to be carrying a hard-sided suitcase on his back?

    Presumably for the #aesthetic, since every pokeprotag has had a different bag style and this one matches the setting they're presenting.

  9. ... how exactly? as an ignorant american i don't see why suitcases are associated with england.

    At least from my intermittent experience with period pieces, hard leather suitcases tend to be associated with a particular mode of travel--ship travel and train travel--that were a) common during the height of the British Empire and therefore b) make it into a lot of media about British Characters (Who Are Inevitably Travelers). Japanese media around Britain has a very specific image it tends to latch onto, and that's generally one that rambles around the steampunk/Victorian aesthetic, when those kinds of suitcases were the norm.

    Also, I think I'm going to go for Sobble as a starter. I'm really interested to see what the evolved forms are? If Scorbunny ends up fire/fighting, I wouldn't actually be that upset about it, I don't think, but I'm not sure if Sobble's leaning towards ghost/psychic/dark for their secondary or if it's going to do something like fairy or steel instead.

    A lot of hiking backpacks are apparently hard-sided as well. But they also tend to have a rigid frame.

    i love how it's been less than a week and the internet has already decided on a characterization of the female protag as a cheeky scottish lass

    pokefandom moves fast

    As opposed to the originality in 'magic carp' 'arctic one, zap two, molten three' 'mr mime' 'squirt turtle' 'alakazam' 'tree gecko'...
