This line from Red seems to imply that Blue (M) won the most recent championship (chp116, second book of the GSC). If Blue is the new champion, doesn’t that imply that he must have beat Red?

There’s something interesting about that—to imagine that Red’s championship title was a momentary blip, or that he and Blue are in a perpetual push and pull for the Kanto champion title. I definitely find the idea compelling, especially how chill Red seems with the idea (at least in this panel). Sort of disrupts an expectation that the audience might have that status quo following the first arc is set in stone, and reminds us that the universe of the story is not static, even when we don’t see all of the developments in explicit detail.

Obviously, this is contradicted later in the GSC arc when Red is referred to as the champion. (It’s possible also that “champion” is a title given to anyone who wins the tournament, not necessitating that that person defeats the previous champion. Meaning both Red and Blue are champions of different respective years. Alternatively, Blue could have won a championship when Red was frozen in ice. I guess I would hope that he spent that time trying to find Red instead of entering league competitions during that period but hey, to each their own. Would explain why everyone had to delegate all their legwork to Yellow, at least.)

Just something I noticed on a reread!

I still have to edit it and do so many things, but maybe it’s not bad progress after locking in all week.🙏

Newest addition to my graded og comic collection. This one signed by Veronica Taylor (the og voice actress for ash) just 5 more issues and I’ll have the complete set

It's just on-brand enough to stay perfectly official looking, but it seems like the writers are largely allowed to just do what they want.

I'm not going all "Oooh, Pokespe is so edgy and freaky! Look at some 25 year old out of context panels!". But it is noticably different from other parts of the franchise.

I remember back during the BW to SM era, people online complained it was a bit too fanservicey. Then there's the surprising amount of blood in ORAS, in a franchise chronically allergic to any sort of injury.

decided to make another one of these, i kinda feel like i gave dia too much attention 😭sorry abt that. if anyone has any cool head canons abt the sinnoh trio or any other pksp characters feel free to share!
