>>1831I like conceptually and have a lot of fanart since brothers and twins are a favorite of mine, but I never played the Battle Subway enough to really get a feel of their characters enough to ship them earnestly.
What dynamic do you see them with anon?
No.1834
>>1832i like them best when ingo's the flirty, clingy one, as opposed to his stern look. emmet's the only one that can make him smile, even a little bit. just enough gap moe!
on the more angsty side, vid related, (pla spoilers)
pokemon legends arceus gave me a lot to think about on how much emmet must miss his brother to an obsessive, self-destructive degree. no matter how many times he gets fucked in the ass by other people to try and forget, he just can't get over it, he's never getting his brother back. No.2342
>>2338Yeah, the sheer amount of yume stuff annoys me. There's a bit of Volo/Male MC but much less than Akari. There's also Ingo/Melli but I'm not really into it because no one deserves to be shipped with Melli and a lot of the shippers are obnoxious anti types. I have a near-nonexistent rarepair that I'm doing my best to try and make more of, though…
>>2340Whenever I see an artist make a guy's butt super-defined in a kimono or yukata I can't help but lol on the inside because I know for a fact that they make your ass totally disappear, it turns your ass-leg area into almost a straight line with how the thick material fits, have actually worn one and can confirm.
>>2339I didn't expect this to be pixel art and was surprised when I opened it, this is gorgeous, pixel art goals, thank you for sharing it nonna!
No.2343
>>2339Why would you save pixel art as such an enormous jpeg? For what purpose?
>>2342I used to have quite the collection of kimono butt photos on my old PC, it really depends on the material and cut. Guys on twitter who post those cut off pinups tend to do them a lot and you can see how with single layers, but it does occur from time to time on catwalks too.
I ought to attach some Grims for this topic but it's impossible finding him through all the GuzmaNanu. Spoiler for a real life person in pic 1.

>I found BW a bit bland at the time compared to the previous games for some reason and I liked these two a lot. Same my unpopular opinion is I think BW are kinda bad, but ambitious, games. I still like a lot of the guys in it though N/Cheren, Ingo/Emmet, Ghetsis/Colress.
No.2345
>>2344I'm glad I'm not the only one with that opinion about BW. I'm not sure how to describe it because on a technical level it's a good game but it was too, idk, clean and boring and perfect. Kind of "soulless" maybe? You know, how the NPCs won't stop interrupting you all the time to tell you what to do or where to go, to tell you about old legends from a region based on the US of all things, how everything was linear, how you can beat the game without actually exploring anything all that much because HMs were only mandatory to explore some caves and parts of some routes that aren't mandatory? And the worst part is how there's no berries anywhere on the map so that gives one less reason to go back to some places. The music hall wasn't very fun, I didn't like how the sprites moves in the battles and the musicals because they looked wonky and blurry, especially your own pokemon when you see them from the back. BW2 was better imo though. Sorry about the negativity.
Anyway I just reached the credits in PLA. I'll play more until
the boss fight against Volo but I don't see myself completing the pokedex if it takes too much time. I had a lot of fun alternating between a bunch of different pokemon I wanted to use in Platinum back when I played it but couldn't because of how long it would take to train them all.
No.2349
>>2348I can't even justify it, lol. It's the most childish "take two characters I like and smash them together" pair. I will say I've always struggled to ship characters with the MC even when they're cute because the player characters in Pokemon with the exception of RSE and DPPT never has enough personality for me to be invested in the ship.
>>2345That railroading is my big problem too, there are cool areas in Unova like the desert, but not enough optional areas like the Sevii Isles or the sunken boat in RSE. It's just not as fun to play and it feels weird to see it get such a resurgence of fans. I don't think you're being negative.
Congrats on technically beating Legends anon! I never have the patience for a full pokedex either.

I don't like Black in the manga since he's obnoxious as hell but I like him in Master sex.
No.2352
>>2351>the only side projects that stuck with meI liked Adventure's ruby and sapphire arc and I actually liked the ship between the leads, the RBG arc I mainly liked for Blue because I found her really cute and funny so I think there's some okay stuff here and there, but the manga tends to fall apart once they reach a the third game's arc (Yellow, Emerald, etc) at least from the ones I read.
BW definitely highlights that the writer doesn't like non donut steel characters though, I was genuinely kinda upset when Bianca who had already been completely pushed aside (along with Cheren) got her pokedex and just gave it to White because 'she's the real female main'.
>Haven't checked out Masters but he's so short hereI don't actually play the game (just watch the events that interest me on youtube) but yeah he's tiny! Hilda is also really short, to the point where people were laughing at how short she is in comparison to Rosa.
I find their height gap very charming though.

>>2509And I think with this one we've bumped it off.
Necessary precaution, but it's still a pain to wait.

I’m really excited for Legends ZA. I can’t wait for more information in November.
>>809>favorite game to playBlack/White 2. Always loved playing them because it was the first Pokemon game that my parents bought me and not my older siblings hand-me-down cartridges. Literally the first time I was able to save.
>best male castGen 5’s got a lot of cute guys but I also think Swsh has quite a few cute guys too
>favorite shipMy favorites are Nate/Hugh and Victor/Bede
>favorite gym leaderIt’s not a guy, but I really like Elesa. Her roller coaster gym was entertaining and I love both her designs.
>Favorite pokeboy protagonistI actually really like Brendan’s og design. And Red’s og design as well
>characterizationGames. I don’t really read the manga and I only watched the Indigo league with Ash. I know the Mc’s characterization in the games is minimal, but I think their designs make up for the lack of character.
although the S/V protagonists are kinda lackluster>>2549There’s a few of us. I don’t think it helps that Rosa is the preferred protag.
No.2997
>>2990I liked quite a few of the villain teams but my shipping mileage was little to nothing. I was a massive Guzmafag at one point though and discovered what I guess you'd call RainGuz. Basically Rainbow Rocket ran a train on his ass, and you'd find art of LysandreGuzma and all sorts. It was pretty fun, mostly because the dynamic with Guzma either toyed with Guzma or caused the team leader's facade to break. Aside from Cyrus all the leaders are peak moe when fucked with. I don't hate Cyrus but his design and rigid worldview don't appeal to me much, he's mostly carried by his admins getting cutesy fanart he can't escape from. There's some fun stuff of him with Dia where his brain breaks and he spaghettis. I particularly like the artists who imagine Dia growing up to be much taller than him and treating him with an easygoing affection he can't understand.
Also it's pure delusion but I like what fans have done with Fox & Tanuki shipping. Hard to go wrong with muscular dumbass and small, pretty and dangerous. The backstories people have invented for them joining Team Rocket add nice flavor. In the anime special they're pretty stupid though.
No.2998
>>2997Oh nice! I liked Guzma a lot too when SM was new, though I mainly shipped him with Nanu because of the Cop/Criminal dynamic they had. He definitely has uke energy and I can see the appeal in him getting absolutely fucked by "real" villains. Kind of an "in over your head" situation right?
Same thoughts on Cyrus really, I think I need to replay DPPt at some point because I just remember him being a killjoy and boring tbh. Galactic is on the lower end of the teams for me but I like the Galactic Grunt design and think they are super cute, same with Saturn!
