>>30929434
Ribombee
>>30929451
Damn itbeat me to it...but yeah Ribombee.
>>30929451
>>30929466
...is this a new meme I'm not aware of?
>>30929434
I want to fug ilima
>>30929434
What is yours?
The first battle is just a test as part of the trial rather than him battling you for real, and Smeargle was used because it can be tailored to have the advantage against your starter.
Gumshoos is his signature. I can't think of any situations where the Pokemon with the z-crystal isn't.
>>30929482
IliMina
>>30929434
Trump, clearly.
>>30929482
the shitty theory that ilima and mina at some point got swapped. that Mina was the normal capt. with Smeargle, and that Ilima was the fairy capt. with Ribombee. While I don't abide the theory itself, I do think it suits them both better. In any case the "theory" was shot down immediately for being stupid but somehow this ironic shitposting of it caught on a bit.
>>30929623
makes sense to me
Thanks
>>30929555
not for lewd
>>30929482
Someone's crack-pot theory that Llima and Mina swapped places. Bcause he's a pretty boy he HAS to clearly use fairy types. And because Mina has a painting aesthetic she has to have a Smeargle.
>>30929663
Now post the OTHER Ilima Stufful cosplay
>>30929678
What other? I want to see.
>>30929626
>>30929555
you and me both
>Implying that only painters can use smeargle and all painters need to use smeargle
>>30929674
makes sense acually
>>30929640
>>>/reddit/
>>30929730
In X and Y artists can only use Smergal actually
>>30929674
>>30929642
>rubombee matchess Illima's clothes
>smeargle matches mina's painter astetics
>Mina randomly having komala shoes and pants as if she were a normal type trainer
>>30929830
oh shit i never noticed the komala shoes
>>30929830
If I had to guess, Illma and Mina both originally had trials on Melemele, but they felt it was too much for the first island and cut one (Mina's trial was probably the Pokefinder trial from the demo, except with normal types in place of the dragons). Since they wanted to keep the school stuff and the Gumshoos totem, Mina got cut and Illma ended up with the normal types.
That would also explain why Ryuki exists. They probably didn't want to cut Mina completely, so they kicked him out of the last trial in favor of her.
What about Lorelei?
Both her Jynx and Lapras are always the highest leveled Pokémon in her party.
>>30929434
Mina mentioning him but him not caring about her or talking about her at all while Ilima's all over the MC's dick/clit makes me think Mina has a one-sided stalker crush on the dude.
I mean think about it, she doesn't even show up at your party at the end while Ilima seems to be excited as fuck for you. Bitch was jealous.
>>30930223
ugh
all of this would have been awesome
>>30930246
Mina randomly having intel on UB was weird too...and her team was no slouch either. Girl is hiding something.
>>30930223
Yeah
Probably Mina was the Normal captain and the first trial was in Ten Carat Hill, taking pictures with the Pokéfinder to find totem Gumshoos/Raticate
Then Ilima, the Fairy captain, would have the second trial in Verdant Cavern with totem Ribombee, giving you the Fairium Z to help against Hala.
I like to believe that they are/were a couple and use Pokemon that resemble each other as a couple thing.
>>30930246
>>30930269
I always wondered why Mina was the only one that didn't show up and why Ilima had more interactions with you than any other captain, this makes too much fucking sense.
>>30930340
If that was true, Ilima would've made a nod to it or something and Mina didn't seem all too familiar with him. Plus, isn't she a lot older than him?
>>30929709
Ohhhh bb
>>30930340
ILIMA IS FOR BOYS
>>30930383
Ilima is for Red.
>>30930313
Verdant Cavern was almost certainly originally Morelull and Shiinotic instead of Yungoose and Gumshoos. I mean, just look at the place and try to tell me it doesn't look like it should be full of Mushroom Pokemon.
>>30930408
Ilima is for Sun.
>>30929623
Gladion, but that's because of RKS system needing a held item to work so Lucario has his Z-crystal.
>>30929434
>him
>>30930428
eh, I can just as easily see it being full of Cutiefly
>>30930439
>literally me in front
>>30930439
Ilima is for Chicken.
Can you guys say "Lil Ilima" three times fast?
>>30929830
i wouldn't say ribombee's especially ilima-like or viceversa, Mina seems to fit the normal type niche all too well though
>>30930467
>totem ribombee with pollen puff
No.....NO
>>30930559
>>30930559
I want you to imagine him wearing a brown scarf like ribombee.
>>30930559
Gives more reason to the theory that Mina's an obsessed Ilima fangirl. Maybe that's why she's so fucking stoned all the time, she wants his eyes.
>>30929830
DELET THIS
>>30930597
but he DOESN'T wear a brown scarf like ribombee, that's the whole point. Is your entire association built on the fact that they both have brown in their design?
>>30929642
>In any case the "theory" was shot down immediately for being stupid
please elaborate because to me it seems like you're the one shitpostan here
>>30930643
Something something fancy fellows
>>30930643
Dude, what do you think he would have? Shiinotic? Comfey? Ribombee is the best fit and also found near his trial grounds.
>>30930643
This. He looks nothing like a Ribombee or vice versa. If anything he looks more like his Gumshoos, they both have the same colors after all.
People are looking into this too much when only Mina has the more obvious normal styled clothes. Ilima only has the eyes and that might be because he liked Valerie's style back in Kalos.
>>30930680
Oh yeah forgot cutie fly is indeed close to his trial. Neat
>>30929434
>>30930760
I'm the one who made that pciture, I'm well aware of this theory.
I wanted to know what is his canon signature Pokémon, not what was discarded.
>>30930680
no one's saying he wouldn't have it, they're saying it doesn't look anything like him
>>30930666
elaborate on what? the fact that there's absolutely zero evidence? the fact that every suggestion supporting the theory is grasping at straws? The Smeargle and Mina being a painter, I'll give you that one, but that's literally the only thing even remotely linking either one to the opposite typing.
>>30929434
>What is Ilima's signature Pokémon?
His estrogen shots.
>>30930965
Yes
I want to tapu his kokonuts
they should've made his Shiny
>sparkles
>same colors
>He's rich
>>30929642
Don't forget that Ilima has the same eyes as Valerie and Fairytale Girl.
>In any case the "theory" was shot down immediately for being stupid
Oh please, you damn well know exactly why the swap happened. Everyone with half a brain does.
Ilima is all about that trump.
>>30934155
He's all about my dick
>>30933512
>Cilan has eyes without sclera
>So does Lana
Lana grass type master confirmed
>>30929830
I think they just didn't want to make the fag a fairy trainer because people might get offended.
>>30930408
Oh wow someone else likes my favorite crack pairing. I like to believe the Ilima's pure love of battling combined with his pretty face would fluster Red.
>>30929701
>>30929678
This one?
Ilima's design is the sore thumb in a franchise full of perfect design
What the fuck is he even meant to be
Why is his hair pink
Why does he wear a shirt and vest in a region as hot as Hawaii
Why does he wear that stupid leather hand thing
It's not even that he might be gay, he just looks weird as shit
>>30935147
>everyone has to wear baggy clothes all the time in hot places
I live in based Florida and people are multi-layered literally all the time
>>30935042
Fucking performance art wtf is this even supposed to be? I dont get this. im going back to Hoenn
>>30929709
c-cute!
>>30929434
Gen 2 aside don't they're signature Pokemon have to be new?
>>30930681
>he looks more like his Gumshoos
Serious?
>>30936749
It explains why Shiny Gumshoos is pink.
Really makes you think...
>>30929434
It's almost as if not all trainers have to have this ace Pokemon autism you fags keep pushing.
>>30930340
they could just be art buddies as both of them paint
>>30936759
>Shiny
C'mon, if they had to make some connection between trainers a Shiny wouldn't be really necessary:
>Lysandre and Pyroar
>Diantha and Mega Gardevoir
>Kiwawe and Alolan Marowak
>et.
Though it's just my opinion.
>>30936352
Yeah, like Diantha's Gardevoir, huh?
>>30937125
Mega Gardevoir was new.
Ilima is mai waifu
New best pokegirl
Ilima and Mina swap theory makes also sense seeing what the designs of captains are based on. Mina's hair is the more common and realistic, is a regular blonde hair, but Ilima's hair is pink and fancy like fairies
