All cute Lillies are welcome.sun x Lillie is also welcome
what about this
>>31843994
that's fine. just nothing too lewdlet's just have a friendly thread desu
Need to go, but if this thread is alive for another 5 hours, I'll dump every new Sun x Lillie image I have.
Have a couple for now.
>>31844029
We will keep this thread going, anon. I could use some Lillie x Sun
>>31843994
>>31844068
I find it strange every time I see this, but a ridiculously large amount of Moon x Lillie images feature Lillie in her original design, while Sun x Lillie largely have Z-form one, though it's more balanced for the latter..
Anyone else like both ships with Lillie?
>>31844099
I do.Tbh I'm fine when Lillie is just shipped with the protags.
>>31844098
now that you say it i notice it too
interesting
>>31844099
You could say I'm just petty, but I don't like both. I do save a lot of Moon x Lillie images, because they're cute, but I only really like Sun x Lillie. It doesn't make sense in my head for the protagonist to be female.
I have seen this mentioned before, but SM story was a lot like FFIX's. A sheltered princess who runs away from her crazy mother and meets a foreign boy, with the boy willing to do anything to protect the girl, and they both go through a lot, and ultimately fall in love. It doesn't make sense to me if they're both girls.
I love art of Lillie with Kukui and Burnet. Especially Burnet.
Last piece of image for now. Will be back in a few hours if this thread is alive.
Also a side question, isn't SM's chapter supposed to come out today?
>>31844186
my thoughts exactly <3
>>31844232
what doe you mean "side chapter'? are you talking about the games. sorry,m a bit of a newfag
>>31844207
My nigga
>>31843971
Can her brother join?
>>31844260
Not "side chapter". SM manga chapter. This chapter is supposed to introduce Lillie, Hau and possibly Gladion.
What will her team in Kanto be?
>>31844329
I definitely want her to have an Alolan Vulpix. I don't want her to have any Kanto starters. If she must, Charmander > Squirtle > Bulbasaur.
>>31844329
My best guess would be
>Venusaur
>Ninetales
>Vaporeon
>Butterfree
>Clefable
>SilvallyI'd presume that Gladion gave her the third Type:Null to keep her safe
>>31844379
To be honest, I'd think Aether Foundation would keep the third Type: Null for study and so they can have some firepower
Especially if Faba rises in position again
>>31844186
>FFIX is my favorite game of all time
>Zidane is my favorite character of all time
>every time I can self insert into something I roleplay as him
>mfw I read this
>>31844186
I find it the opposite, but not because I'm a yurifag. Females typically make female friends easier, and I can't really imagine such a bland looking guy as Sun to fill a protag role. It just seems more plausible to me to have two female friends journey together and then part at the end.
>>31844029

>this pose
Literally looks like a baby shitting their pants. I cringed at how she kept doing it every other second in the second half of the game.
>>31845195
do you have experience at looking at babies shitting themselves
>>31845227
I'd imagine most people with children or younger siblings do.
>>31844379
This is totally my guess too. Except about Silvally and she has a Lilligant rather than Butterfree to be honest, assuming she only may have Kanto mons. Yeah it sounds more like Lusamine's team but it suits her perfectly too.

I hope this thread is still alive tomorrow and this guy >>31844029 dumps his pics
do you think she changed her pantsu color with her outfit change?
>>31847293
no but her omutsu probs did
I'm usually against the idea of Lillie ever becoming a really strong trainer when she's just playing around with Pokemon. I feel that would be unfair to other rivals like Bianca, Serena or Hugh, who try their best yet don't make it to the top.
But this one image is my favorite and almost makes me hope it happens someday.
I tried looking, but can't find a better quality version of this. The guy who made it changed accounts and it was lost on his previous one. Posting because why not.
>Gladion: What the heck do you think you're doing?
>Sun: Ah, sorry, I lost control of my hand and it moved on its own. I'm sure you can relate to that.
Nothing to with Sun x Lillie, but one of the best still.
I see this hasn't been translated beyond the first page I did a few days ago, so translating it now. It's on Gelbooru.
And done.
And the chapter is here, lads! Posting a few spoilers, so don't read if you don't want those.
Lillie seems to have the same role as her in-game counterpart. That's good. Instead of the protagonist from Kanto, Sun, the one who helps her out in the beginning is Moon instead. That's good too, I guess. Though I do feel a bit disappointed that Kusaka seems to be having Sun only interact with Moon.
Gladion is also here. They didn't cut out the Tapu Koko saving the protagonist event and Lillie isn't a battler.
Since Moon saves Nebby too, I'm not sure where this will. Will Nebby end up liking Moon? But if that's the case, what's with the cat theme of Sun's team? Wasn't it because Solgaleo would fit in there? I guess it's too early to say for sure. I wish it wasn't monthly.
As for Moon, I still can't say I like her. Even in this chapter, all she's done is react to things around her. Her personality is still just as bland as a dialogue-less protagonist. I'm hoping this involvement with Lillie will help with this.
>>31844876
Great taste, fampai. FFIX is my favorite FF game and one of my favorites in general. The similarities alone made me love SM.

Why is Lillie so angry?
>>31849823
Well holy fucking mother of a cow, aren't you the same fag from all "cute! CUTE! gay! GAY! huge! HUGE!" type threads? Wassup? Question: how can you be so autistic and openly express it? It's for my research on "People who are a waste of oxygen".
>>31849917
That I can live with, and it's very cute!
>>31849950
She's tired of all the pedofags, yurifags and overall fags who portray her in a lewd way
>>31849950
Because Sun won't take responsibility after impregnating her
Why the fuck is a Lillie thread in page 4 when a Serena thread is in page 1?
What's with the recent number of Sunfags? Just a couple of months ago, they only came to shitpost in canon threads once in a while. Now they seem to be in every Lillie thread. I mean, I don't mind them. They're a lot less annoying than most of faggots on this board, but still a strange to see them.
I see the autists have awoken from their slumber, ready to stir shit over a once peaceful thread.
I'd molest her.
Posting actual cute this time.

>>31847661
>I feel that would be unfair to other rivals like Bianca, Serena or Hugh, who try their best yet don't make it to the top.
That's fair, but we're exactly the way you described it. We're "just playing around with Pokemon" as well and we always make it to the top no matter what we do whether it's using a team of 6 or a single Ratata.
>>31851330
I guess that's true.
Personally, I think it's okay for protagonists. Most of the time, Training Pokemon and aiming to be the Champion is literally all they care about. They go on to pretty much fight all trainer in the region and most of the time don't show any signs of weakness when it comes to training. The aforementioned rivals, you pretty much use them as stepping stones to rise above.
Lillie just doesn't seem like someone capable of that. I guess it's a subjective thing.

Lillie's thread has more posters than Serena's lol
>>31851583
FIrst one is:
Sun: "Okay, so to open the Pokédex you just have to... Oh, you just have to tell Rotom!"
Lillie: *thinks to herself while blushing "He's so close!"
So our little boy got cucked again?
>>31851669
https://twitter.com/yoshiiiika
Twitter artist, but a really active one. He also LOVES Rocketshipping and draws it often.
>>31851583
Second one is:
Title: You-san (Sun) is cute!
Lillie: "You-san (Sun) is pretty small isn't he!"
->(unironically and without evil intent)
>>31851583
Third one's:
Sun: "Come closer- today as well, LI-LI-E-CHAN
will sit on my lap-" (while doing that weird dance)
>>31851747
Thanks.
>Rocketshipping
Seems like this one has patrician taste.
>>31851583
Fourth one is:
Lillie tried to grab Sun's hand while watching fireworks and thinks:
Oh, now that I think about it... During that time, I kinda also thought about holding Sun's hand. But...
It's not that I couldn't do it, it's just...
Lillie: "The fireworks are pretty aren't they Sun?"
After Sun"s smile, Lillie thinks to herself:
You're my hero after all, my one and only...
>>31851845
Wait, I'm new at this, so might be wrong, but wouldn't 「わたしだけの」 mean "Only my hero", rather than "My only hero"?
Also, you're doing great work, anon. Thanks.
>>31844075
>>31851919
Yep, it does anon, but in this case I cut the phrase at "my one and only" instead of "my one and only hero", otherwise I would have used "hero" twice in that sentence which would sound a little unnatural. Glad I could help, I'll try and translate the rest later today, am pretty busy right now

>>31851583
Okay I'm back, the fifth one is:
Gladion says something about a favor of sorts by the strongest trainer in the world (reffering to Sun) for Lillie, to which she replies:
"F-fa-favor?!! Sun is just a friend!"
"Brother you meanie...! Usually you don't talk much, so why is it you always talk when it comes to this topic...?
On the other side Hau says to Sun:
Hau: "Man, you really like Lillie, don'tcha Sun!"
Sun:"W-waaaaa?!! Hau, you're too loud!!
Then Sun thinks: "That dummy Hau, acting all composed, when it comes to saying something he won't hesitate to sharply/perceptively say it..."
>>31851583
Sixth one:
Lillie: "Well then, shall we go now?"
Sun: "Huh?! Uh, y-yeah!"
And the Sun thinks something along the lines of "Woah I feel really good/tickly"(?)", can't really make out the kanji there, kinda unreadable for me...
>>31851583
And finally the last one:
Sun: "I made this together with Steenee. I thought it'd look good on you..."
Lillie: "Thank you so much...!
Rotom: "Sun is like a Comfey-roto! Comfoy gives flower rings to those it's fond of-roto!"
Lillie:"F-fond of..."
Sun:"W-wait, this is... this isn't what you think..."
>>31853042
Fucking yurifag, go back to Tumblr with your degenerate fag fantasies
>>31854182
>Gladion says something about a favor of sorts by the strongest trainer in the world (reffering to Sun) for Lillie, to which she replies:
The term used was 「好意」. While it does literally mean "favor", but it is in some context used as a word meaning strong feelings. So that line can be translated as "have feelings for/like".
>Gladion: If you didn't have feelings for Sun, you wouldn't just think of him as the strongest trainer in the world.
>Lillie: F-f-feelings?! Sun is a friend!"
>>31854406
Lmfao, I was just about to correct that lol!!
In the final one I noticed 「好意」could also mean "being fond of, having feelings for" and then what Gladion said started making sense, and I thought of exactly what you said, but thanks anon!
>>31844945
THIS IS CUTE
>>31844379
I've seen a lot of people shit on this theory, but its nice to see that someone else likes it to.
>>31854445
Still, thanks for translating the rest. Especially that weird dance one. I could read what was going on, but didn't understand a thing in it.
>>31854478
No problem, that dance one was kinda weird indeed lol
>>31854458
If best friends, then yes!
>>31854596
Why does that even matter? Cute things are cute. There doesn't always have to be any subtext to that. Don't be like how yurifags used to be.
Although the artists name is right there, I still haven't found the source of this image. Fuck western artists. Finding them is annoying as fuck.
If any of you have the source, I would really appreciate it.

I can respect people who ship Lillie with Moon but personally I love Lillie and Sun more. My girlfriend and I always share Lillie and Sun pictures and say things like "That's us". Yeah, I know it's pretty darn gay. But seeing Lillie and Sun art just reminds me of her and it makes me happy.
Hey, this thread is still alive! But man, this is filled with Sun/Lillie shippers. Wonder where all of you were hiding just until recently.
>>31859547
Someone finally typeset it in! Thanks, anon.
>>31859585
I've finally completed the story in Moon just moments ago. My god, I don't think I've ever felt as attached to a Pokemon character than I have with Lillie, and it made her departure really heart wrenching.
Though it made me really hope that the next game's champion will be Lillie. Or at least, have her show up all grown up and helps the new protag a lot, or something.
But after seeing >>31844964 I guess it would make more sense for her to not be the battling type.
God, I miss her so much already ;_;
I really loved all those cute scenes with her alone.
>>31859635
More gusta lillie
>>31859814
>champion
I've said it before, but if she ends up becoming a Champ, I'll quit Pokemon. A strong trainer, maybe. Champion, THE strongest? No. Fuck no.
And she's never expressed any interest in becoming a researcher, went on a journey to become a Trainer in Kanto, and has plans to travel more in future, so I don't think she'll be a researcher. Not her type.
Is the first time I post that image and what does it matter? In the post says cute lillie all images fall into that category yuri or not
>>31849917>implying Chicken does not hunger for Lillie's cock

>>31862283
I don't think so.
>>31862266
I want to see her again too. Though I kinda wish we get a new set of rivals, not Lillie. Just having her be a side character will be enough.Preferably with SM protagonist and Nebby. I have faith Ohmori will make them return, unlike Masuda.
>>31862266

>>31862266

>>31862364
N just left though. Lillie promised to return soon. Her return isn't implied, it's guaranteed. But unless the next game is in Kanto or Alola, we won't see that return.
Why won't he do it?

Hey he asked if someone had it.
>>31865311
I'd wait a couple of days. No need for these threads back to back. Someone tried that with shipping threads, and they got so boring the only thing of worth note in them was shitposting. It'll just annoy others and less people will post in these, plus there won't be a lot of new fanart to post.
Still, up to you what threads you want to make. I personally just don't recommend making these back to back.
>>31865311
Hey, OP here. I'm going to make the new thread as soon as this one is archived. After that, I'm probably going to wait a while. Don't want to wear it out like >>31865334 mentioned. This was nice and I'd like to see it again.
>>31859865
It's not cute, it's retarded, cute is if she said she they are best friends, not "hurr durr I'm gay for moon mom hurr durr it's my choice" when you know stuff like that will NEVER be implemented in Pokémon, let alone be seen as something "canon", learn the facts

>>31859964
I love all these artists
Might be a stupid question but does anyone else think its jarring finding out some of you're favorite artists draw hentai?? If they originally did cute SFW art?
Does Lillie like gorilla arms dragons?
I love Lillie x Sun and think Lillie x Moon is overrated. It just doesn't seem right for her to be gay.
>>31868341
It's kinda weird, I don't remember Shauna having this amount of yuri thirst and it's absolutely the same case Lillie and Shauna are in.
>>31868387
Because no one cared about Shauna. No one. Even after her feelings for Calem were confirmed by Masuda, they still didn't get any amount of images together. Tumblr liked her for a while, but grew out of really fast.

Everything Sun X Lillie is welcome
>>31868341
I don't like either of them. One is forced yuri by "cute, CUTE" memesters, the other is a bland ass looking guy that looks like he was trying to mimic Red and Ethan. Lillie makes more sense alone, ironically enough. The notion of her leaving after making friends with everyone to meet new people is something I enjoy more than the VASTLY overrated protag ships.
>>31874580
>>Krenz drew Lillie
>image literally says, in English, "all sketches by Kawacy"
What did he mean by this?
>>31874934
Say what you will about ships, but Sun is, without a single shred of doubt, the cutest male protagonist yet. Though he could use better clothes.
>>31874989
Both he and Moon have pretty bland faces too. The only thing Moon actually has is a single distinctive feature and that's her dumb hat. Sun honestly disappointed me a lot too, because he isn't cute, his face is like an NPC. There are better ones, ones that at the very least have a facial expression.
>>31875046
I would post his official art and ask you to post a single NPC with a cuter face than his, but image limit. So I'll just say that you have extremely unique and distinct taste if you don't find Sun cute.
>>31875127
I was actually referring to protags with cuter faces, but sure.
I don't find him ugly, I just find him incredibly bland without any distinctive trait(s), and he is too replaceable due to this. Yurifags aren't any better really, and if I HAD to choose one of the NPCs around her age to force her to be with rather than journeying on her own, I'd actually choose Hau, since none of the trial captains make sense. People meme about the fellow and his snacks, but outside of that, him, Gladion, and the protags are her only similarly aged friends, and Hau shows that he at least cares for her as a friend, unlike the emotionless, cardboard faces of both protags.

Who would you consider a cuter protagonist? And if you think Sun lacks any distinctive traits, then would mind point out those traits for the other male protagonists? Barring Brendan and Nate, of course. They are pretty distinct.
And I wasn't really talking about the ships, again, but I'll reply to that because you seem to want to talk about it. Yes, Hau cares for her as a friend, but he cares for literally everyone. Even Team Skull.
The protagonists, despite your claim about them being "emotionless", build their entire journey around Lillie. The one they show the most interest in and care for, risking their life for her on multiple occasions despite not having any reason to. Their entire goal in the game is to protect Lillie and they get stronger for that purpose only. And unlike with Hau, Lillie is shown to care back equally. She trusts them completely and totally, especially after you save her and Nebby after they're kidnapped. Before that, she was shown to be a really scared girl, but afterwards, when you help her out even in her hardest moment, she gains complete faith that nothing will ever happen to her with you around and is always smiling.
I ship her with protagonist because I think it's the ideal outcome for Lillie. She lost her father, her mother became crazy trying finding him, her brother abandoned her and ran away. The only people even close to family she has are Kukui and Burnet, and in future, her starting a new family with protagonist, the one she's shown to care about the most, seems like a perfect outcome to me. That's my ideal ending to her story. This is the only time I've ever given any shits about the protagonists, and that was only because of their development with Lillie.

Kinda gives the kimi no na wa vibe don't you think?

My problem with the protagonist is that they're kinda like Link. They care for and go on a whole adventure for the girl, but are unable to express it verbally, so it comes across as shallow.
>>31875411
The thing is, despite people assigning affection (which I suppose is the definition of shipping), the protagonist doesn't actually do anything to imply romantic intent, just a sort of friendship that is only present due to the track of the story focusing on Lillie. I chose Hau because he specifically was the only one to actually get emotional over her when she left, and the only one her age that said he would contact her while she traveled. The protagonist remains stonefaced and speechless, stoically smiling into the distance throughout these exchanges.
Lillie does care. But I dislike relationships when only one side has any feeling and the other is obliviously going through an adventure in their own little world. It's annoying.
I loved Lillie, and felt very attached to her as well. The whole story was great actually.
The protagonist was an afterthought to her though, and needed to at least show some actual interest in her other than the plot revolving around her caring for Nebby, which needed the input of someone competent in battle. Like I said, they feel interchangeable, like they could be replaced with anyone. I suppose that's the goal, so that people can insert themselves into the story, but I don't self insert, and as such, I enjoy seeing her either making her own way, or establishing a relationship with a character that explicitly shows an actual interest in contacting and keeping a connection with her, even far away.

Now that you bring it up, I want to point out that Link, in his series, is shown to care for the girl.
For example, Skyward Sword. The entire point of his journey is to rescue Zelda. And his motive is believable because he is shown in almost all the cutscenes involving the two of them, and some of them he is by himself, to care for her. Be it by facial expressions, actions, etc. And all that, without uttering a single word. Maybe a grunt, or a yell here or there, but that's it.
Now in SM, the problem the protags have is that they're cardboard cutouts. They almost never emote, and never do so when they're with Lillie. They always keep that psychotic smile on their face. When Lillie is leaving, according to the game, they've connected with her, but fucking Hau expresses more emotion than them. He is the one who's crying and griefing, not them, when they should be, according to the game.
Tl;dr the difference between Link and the SM protags is that, even though all of them never talk, Link expresses his emotions. The SM duo don't.

>But I dislike relationships when only one side has any feeling and the other is obliviously going through an adventure in their own little world.
But that's exactly the relationship between Lillie and Hau.
I can understand wanting to see the player show more emotions, but when Lillie left, everyone, including Lillie herself, was smiling and overall happy. The protagonist and Kukui cared for Lillie and seeing her go on a journey made them happy. This is the case with everyone in Pokemon world, except Bianca's dad. Everyone is always happy when they see someone close to them go on a journey, so I thought that scene was perfectly fine, other than protagonist not even waving their hands and Hau crying. Those were two annoying parts.
You say that they could be changed for anyone, but that's not the case. It's not anyone. It was those characters, in that setting and with those relationships. The goal could be anyone. Even if it was just friendship that led the protagonists to care so much about a stranger, that friendship was a lot stronger than the one between Hau and Lillie.
It feels to me that you're just favoring Hau. Hau likes Lillie, and is thus perfect for Lillie, even if Lillie and protagonist like each other, but that doesn't matter because protagonist didn't show facial expressions. That sounds a really inconsequential thing compared to the action of protagonist in the entirety of the game. Hau also liked Gladion, and they both had a lot more moments together than Hau and Lillie. Not implying that they should fuck, but just pointing out how little Hau actually interacted with Lillie.
>>31875715
Well, I have to go now, so just clearing this up before I go. I don't care who you ship her with. Hau/Lillie is as good as anything. I just find it ridiculous that you're claiming the protagonist didn't care about Lillie, simply because they smiled, and Hau did, because he cried. I'll continue to defend that part if the thread is up for a couple of hours, but I doubt that will be the case.
>>31875715
No, Lillie doesn't have any romantic feelings but she at the very least expresses a sense of friendship towards him, and he expresses one towards her. Not an ideal pair, but again, I'd prefer her to make her own way. I don't even like Hau, he's just the only candidate that fits the criteria: Similar age, shows emotion towards her, traveled with her. The protag only fits two of those.
And what I mean was that Sun/Moon themself could have been changed with any character, and the story would not have been affected at all. They could have replaced it with say, a Biker, and the story would have remained the same. The protagonist is a non-character. There is nothing to them, they express nothing, they say nothing. Thus, it makes no sense for me to see them having any sort of relationship with her, for either of them. I don't even get the arguments and fan wars between Sun and Moon being with her, because story wise, they're the same character and as such, the only time it even matters is in material such as doujin, which I have no interest in.
>>31875995
I ship her with no one. As I said, I prefer the thought of her going her own way and meeting new people after she leaves, rather than forming a romantic relationship with other children her age (assumedly 11?). The protagonist didn't care because there wasn't a character there to care for her. Any care was assigned by the player. Hau didn't really care either, his focus was just generally being cheerful. Again, the only reason I chose him as a forced choice even was because there was absolutely no choices that made any sense, including Hau, but he was part of the main party and wasn't related to her.
