Ah shit
Thanks

Someone mentioned Colors 2025, which seemed to be a gathering for Pokemon Special artists. After the event, there was a group drawing online. Pic related. Since I don't like timelapses, I also recorded the drawing live. Possibly missed a few things because I was gonna attempt to add something small, but my internet wasn't working well.

Could always ask him about it

>>279610930
Ruby is looking good

>>279608412 (OP)
Reason I translated that blurb as "Enter a kunoichi" is because they used the word Sanjou参上　which is a dramatic and theathrical way of saying something has arrived which is inline with Atticus' speech patern.
If enter is a bit too much of a meme use something like "the arrival of the kunoichi" or something else that sounds a bit more theathre like.
Besides that no complaints from as far as the tl goes.
>>279611001
>mistranslated muk as skuntank.
>turns out it was supposed to be skuntank anyway.
My xatu powers are awakening....

>>279611895
Since you're here
What he did he change here

>>279611929
Ah I see that makes way more sense.
I was confused and second guessing myself about this part when I did the tl, but it's supposed to be.

Wait isn't he a gym leader? He's also an elite four member? When does he rest?

>>279608509
Who is that sexy Twink on the back of copperajah

>>279612594
Hey only koga was a terrorist. Janine was just s terrorists daughter

>>279608772
That's no way to be a ninja using deceit and lies

>>279608902
Isn't that a stuntank?

>>279613048
>When does he rest?

>>279613048
He's also got a salaryman job.

>>279613183
>>279613159
Why does Geeta do this to poor innocent Larry

>>279613048
>rest
No such thing as long as Geeta keeps an eye on him.

>>279613157
Kusaka fucked up.
Raws says muk, but it's supposed to say skuntank as he appearantly pointed out on twitter>>279611001

>>279611821
>Get it over with

>>279608797
Aka former terrorist & girl with daddy issue

>>279608772
Wait so scarlet is seeking the four treasuer of calamity right? Which are powerful mythical pokemon? And Scarlet is giving these pokemon to her client? If so then who’s asking for these powerful pokemon? Couldn’t be pokemon association or professors because they don’t fuck with powerful pokemon unless the world is in danger.

>>279614927
They said it's raifort.

>>279608553
I feel like him responding to Poppy asking if he was eavesdropping doesn't really make sense. He obviously wasn't doing that.
>>279608683
>fulfil
Fulfill, going by American English.

The last bit about Janine being a part of the "gym leaders" sounds awkward.
>>279608858
Double "I" on the gamer grunt's dialogue.
>>279609836
He's talking about both of them, so no.

>>279615912
>He's talking about both of them, so no.
Oh shit oops

>>279615912
>I feel like him responding to Poppy asking if he was eavesdropping doesn't really make sense. He obviously wasn't doing that.
How so?
Poppy asked if he was eavesdropping on them which reminded him of the eavesdropping incident with team star.
Eithet way that's how it went in the raws as far as I can tell.

Is the SV manga any good so far? I dropped the SWSHit one out of boredom

>>279613071
Gold...

>>279612594
NO EVIDENCE, CHUD.

>>279615912
>>279616650
Or I think where the confusion lies.
He isn't saying that's right(I was eaves dropping on you)
He was saying "that's right" as in "Oh yeah, that's right" when you're reminded of something.

>>279616709
Yeah

>>279608509
So the elite 4 is 3 guys and a Loli?

>>279619933
2 guys, one woman, and a little girl who's nine but looks and acts 4 .

>>279619989
I honestly thought she was 4.

>>279608611
Kek

>>279619989
Wait is the one with the ponytail a girl?
But she's so fucking flat

>>279621707
That's the appeal for woman I guess.
Appearantly she is the most popular character among women.
What throws me off the most is how broad her shoulders are and how narrow her hips are

>>279622022
Just compare her to another lady in a suit.
You can still see anabel is proportioned like a female, but I don't get that at all from Rika.

>>279622022
Well, it makes sense. Notably, feminine male characters appeal to guys. So it stands to reason that notably masculine female characters would appeal to women.

>>279622228
>feminine male characters appeal to guys.
Do they?

>>279622315
People like Ruby

>>279622315
Almost exclusively. Though it seems to be specific aspects of femininity and masculinity. Like most male trap characters are super sweet and openly affectionate gumballs. While most female trap characters are these laid-back, collected, cool guy types.

>>279622415
>People like Ruby
Do they really?

>>279622502
To one battered wife at least

>>279613396
Pretty tough out here in paldea

>>279610930
That's pretty cool

So SV was the game that explicitly canonized that gym leaders are meant to sandbag against you so you have a chance to win, but how exactly are they meant to know what powerlevel to show you?


Also we know some gym leaders just suck compared to others so you're probably BTFOing some if you ever fight them past like the first half of your journey

>>279625070
Your number of badges? They see hey this kid has no badges better get my team of two level 10 mons, or this kid has 4 badges better get my 3-4 level 30 mons

>>279625070
SV lore it's decided by location.
Katy was asked to throw harder since her gym is the closest to the school, but the path you have to follow for the proper progression based on the levels is pretty schizo in sv.

>>279608772
>>279608832
COSPLAY SLUT

>>279608925
To be honest Scarlet seems the type to just go "Oh okay then, Armarouge attack him directly"

>>279625837
I was gonna say just hide your badges, but then I remembered computers are a thing in universe so you're probably in a database after 1 battle

>>279626316
And the gyms are a test and also training for the e4 challenge + champion.
There'd be no point to it.

are we ever going to get Volume 65?

>>279627938
>mentioning Volume 65
Delayed by another day

>>279608832
What a slut.

>>279622502
Yes, but it wouldn't hurt to get another popularity poll one day.

Can nemona bring a smile to scarlets face?

>>279614927
The client is Raifort. In the games Raifort is extremely untrustworthy, dubiously-evil at times and only reigned in by Clavell holding her job on the line. She tasks the player with seeking the Treasures of Ruin, and offers to take them off the player's hands after they're captured (the player refuses). In the DLC she asks Jacq to participate in a "ritual" where he miiiiiight be a human sacrifice, leaving him somewhat confused.

>>279614927
>>279650973
>inb4 raifort is actually Sird in disguise.

>>279626316
Yeah everything is computerized and pretty official nowadays, it's not the old days where you have to show identification at the door. The Gym Leaders have other jobs they do when they're not called on to battle, and to battle one you make an appointment with their receptionists at the official Gym buildings.

Katy is a baker.
Brassius is an artist, specializing in sculptures.
Iono is a livestreamer.
Kofu is a sushi chef.
Larry is a salaryman, working both in the Pokemon League's sales division and as a member of the Paldea Elite Four, in addition to his job as a Gym Leader.
Rhyme is a rapper, holding concerts at her gym.
Tulip is a fashion designer.
Grusha is a snowboarding coach. He used to be a professional snowboarder until he took a tumble and a leg injury forced him to retire. He's pretty bitter about that.

In the Elite Four
Hassel works as the Academy's art teacher. He's a member of the Dragon Clan, and others in the Clan want him to take over as the head, but he refuses.
Rika works as Geeta's secretary and advisor. She gives Champion candidates an interview before the Elite Four challenge to see if they're worthy of representing Paldea as potential Champions.
Poppy is too young to have a proper job, but she wants to attend the Academy.
Larry was explained above. As an Elite Four member he uses Flying types instead of Normal types. It's probably just so he can keep using his Staraptor.
Geeta is both the Top Champion and the Chairwoman of the Paldea Pokemon League and the Paldea Academy's board of directors. She's constantly scouting for fresh talent and making surprise inspections. If you get noticed by her expect to have your potential realized, even if you don't want to.

>>279653563
There are meat and fish ingredients for sandwiches and dishes you can get at restaurants in the game. They don't acknowledge that they eat Pokémon, but they eat Pokémon.

>>279653563
Magicarp is delicious

>>279653689
no it isn't, it's all bones!

Larry is stuck in the wagie cagie forever

>>279627967
I remember when it was released a year ago...

>>279653563
At the rate Larry is going he'll get a 4th job

>>279656428
>Becomes the champion

>>279656428
>>279657104
>Larry ends up as all 8 Leaders, the Elite 4, Champion and the villain team leader somehow

>>279613469
In Masters, Geeta actually bought him new clothes for a vacation, it was pretty cute. She does care, her over-bearingness is exaggerated.
>>279651216
Geeta actually asked Larry to pick a new typing for E4 since Normal type is kinda boring for an E4 member.
>>279625070
Pokemon Origins I think showed that it was based on number of gym badges.

We need to stop ruining girls by giving them short hair.

>>279662328
iirc the guy who drew the Y on the top didn't realize there was already one being made, but it didn't seem like anyone had a problem with it, because they managed to fit everyone in.

>>279664176
Makes sense but there’s no way whoever drew Tep and Gigi a second time didn’t notice the first two.

>>279614927
>scarlet is seeking the four treasuer of calamity
So, she is "pursuing" them...

>>279678478
You want an actual answer that's not shitposting?

There's 18 pokemon types, in gen 9 there's 8 gym leaders, 4 elite 4 members (technically) and 5 members of team star... if you'll notice that means 17 types have trainer that specializes in that type, all except a rock type specialist.

Now what type is glimmora?

There's even a references to this in the game because one of the teachers is a retired gym leader who uses rock type pokeon, and the types for the 5 titan pokemon you fight with arven are shared with the elite 4.

>>279680081
It's so half-assed to to try to justify that as a rock-specialty.
I know that's exactly what they did, but at least do it right and give her an actual Rock-type preference.

>>279679748
I see the jojolion brainrot is something that we will never leave behind or move on from it, like Holly's own disease...

>>279680259
Then she'd just be a cheap Steven knockoff

>>279630123
If there was a new popularity poll, what would be the funniest possible result?

>>279680668
Blake gets first place

>>279680667
She doesn't need to be. There's plenty of variety within a type after all.
Alternatively, that's something they should've taken into account.
Or even better, they already made the justification for why there isn't a Rock-type rep anywhere, so just stick to that.
Make said former Gym Leader an optional fight (Or non-optional, why not)

>>279680668
Ruby number 1
