She's a great character. Everyone in the manga is pretty much what I wanted out of the anime. It's not too dark, it's not too light, they swap protagonists out every arc similarly to the game to keep it fresh.
Sometimes you get a competent protag, sometimes you don't.
>>32648041
>>32648048
>>32647912
this couple is better and probably the end game
>>32648861
>yellowfags are THIS delusional
>>32648048
>Sometimes you get a competent protag, sometimes you don't.
And as it just happens, the two protagonists we have now, Lack2 and Sun, are the two worst yet.
>>32648861
Nah, they really don't interact in the manga.
It's mostly them being shipped because they're the ones left out if you ship Red and Yellow together.
In the XY manga, there's some pretty cute Green x Diantha stuff going on and they have a lot more chemistry than Green and Blue.
>>32648861
Kinda neutral on this one. It's probably end game judging by how much the Fandom shipped them even though there's plenty of other girls for him.
Gen 1 nostalgia boner is hard for the nips that they don't consider any other girl past that generation for him.
>>32648861
>better
no
>endgame
unfortunately
>>32649274
>>32649286
Links?
>>32649286
well, it's pretty clear Yellow is Red love interest in especial. I'm not too found of OC characters, but that's it. What's the other options for Blue?
>>32649286
> there's plenty of other girls for him.
For example??
>>32649286
>there's plenty of other girls for him
Literally the only people close to Green are Red and Blue. That's all he has.
>>32649363
>>32649420
Read XY. Diantha is introduced as someone he's close with.
The two also cameod together in the ORAS finale from Steven Stones perspective which is when they first met. XY takes place a lot later like 5-6 years later.
>>32649459
Yeah, he knows her. "Close" still feels like a bit of a stretch.
>>32649465
Close enough to the point where she knew about Reds exploits as a trainer in the first arc and copied him, and she says that she learnt it from green.
That means red told green who told Diantha
>>32649459
that would be nice, i fucking hate blue/green (the girl). She's too sneaky for Red, and has no chesmity with Blue/green (the boy).
Him being with Diantha would be nice, but as far i know the author has a "rule" that the main characters/rival will just end romantically with other main characters or rivals who carry the name of a game, so even if in the manga or in the original game story the pc has more interesting interactions with other characters, it will not happen in pokespe.
>>32649710
It's usually protagonist x protagonist of the playable counterparts. Unsure about Red x yellow since they seem to be the exception.
>>32649791
it's guys who holds the name of the games. Yellow is a kanto game, so she is "allowed" to be with Red. The same logic is applied for who can be a pokedex holder. I find it lame and limits the story and character development a lot.
>>32649710
>>32649791
>>32649853
Outside of Red x Yellow, since he seems to be literally fine with anyone:
Red x Green (for the fujoshis) - has good enough evidence
Red x Yellow - has good enough evidence
Red x Blue - has good enough evidence
Red x Misty (tfw never) - has good enough evidence
___
It's been solidly protag x protag of
Gold x Crystal (debatable, but Crystal obviously likes him)
Ruby x Sapphire - canon
Dia x Plat (Dia has crush on Plat, and supported her by making a cake when Pearl bailed on her during the contest stuff)
Black x White (teased all of BW), literally had White JUMP OUT of the ferris wheel to get away from N lmao.
Lack x Whi (unknown since she realized she's been duped and she figured out he's a cop and she just got arrested), Mind you the writer dumped Yancie (arguably canon to the gameverse) in the first chapter to spite gameverse fans. Then he kinda middle fingered Hugh x Whi development, which a lot of BW2 game fans liked.
X x Y (literally all of arc it's hinted since they've been friends since childhood)
Sun x Moon (unknown, but we'll see)
>>32649881
>Red x Misty (tfw never) - has good enough evidence
>Lost her chance to confess
>Lost her legendary
>Lost her relevance when she tried desperately to regain some of it despite secretly knowing it was a futile effort
>Red doesn't even have her Gyarados on his main team anymore
Being Misty here is suffering.
>>32649881
everyone knows that Dia x Pearl x Plat is official. They make a comfy threesome.
>>32650153
Misty suffers in every version.
>>32650153
>>32649881
>>32649881
Yeah but following the games plot, the pairings are much more interesting, and more likely would be:
>Red/??? Misty can work
>Leaf/Blue
>Ethan/??
>Kris/silver maybe
>Brendan/May or lisia
>May/Brendan or steven
>Lucas/Marley or Cheryl
>Dawn/Barry or buck or riley
>Hilbert/bianca
>Hilda/n or cheren
>Nate/Yancy
>Rosa/Curtis
>calem/Shauna
>Sun/lillie
>Moon/hau or gladion
This is manga aimed to teenagers boys, so the male is the protagonist and taking account the target, for sure they wouldn't make a gay pairing like for example red/blue, moon/lillie or brendan/steven or Serena/Shauna in a shonen. Still more diverse and entertaning than the predicable protagonist x protagonist
>>32650554
>That entire list besides Brendan/May
>>32650554
Actually it's:
Red x Battles/His Pikachu
Ethan x Lyra
Brendan x May
Dawn x Lucas
Hilbert x Battles/N
Nate x Yancy
Calem x Shauna/Serena
Sun x Lillie
You can find canon evidence for all of these
>>32650580
same anon, forgot to put that Sun/Lillie is the other only good part of this list
>>32650554
>>32650666
>>32650701
Why the hell are you using game names for Pokespe characters? Gold isn't named Ethan, his name is Gold.
ok fags, back to blue art
>>32650709
They are comparing the games to this manga your autistic
>>32650666
No, its not. There's evidence with lots of other characters besides the rival
>>32650666
Games up until B2W2 have extremely little evidence for any pairing and Gamefreak doesn't mention them at all. It's fair to assume for them that nothing really happens and you can just flip a coin for who should fuck who. B2W2 onward is when Gamefreak actually throws some bones to people and gives you confirmation that something is happening.
Nate/Rosa x Yancy/Curtis in B2W2, Calem and Shauna in XY (she has a crush on you, explicitly stated by Gamefreak), Brenden/May in ORAS (actually have a date at the end, every other pairing in that game with the MC becomes irrelevant), and main character x Lillie (hinted, not completely explicit). Anything else is coin-flipping.
>>32650745
Omg someone with brains on this site
You said everything. Though ORAS and SM has shipteasing with tons of side characters and no game has any conclusion on this issue at all.
Game Blue/Green
>>32650783
Nothing wrong with ship teasing. I seriously doubt Gamefreak will ever canonize a pairing though. I don't think anyone wants to touch that hornet's nest.
>>32650580
Can only see evidence in the lamest ship: autistic brendan May shipper
New Year 2005 postcard autographed by Sugimori himself. Too bad there's no high-res copy of this.
how did a birthday thread to post some blue/green/leaf turn into a shipping war.
blue can literally bang all of the guys and girls and everyone would be happy with either.
>>32650666
>>32650554
Both are lists right. The playable character is a blank self insert, so discussing which couple is more canon is stupid and worthless. Depends of interpretation and personal taste.
The manga is a completely different story, and like the anime, is losely based on the games, so it can't be used as evidence outside its own universe.
>>32650925
So is she going to win the Redbowl?
I hope so. She deserves it the most.
>>32650941
>>32650941
>>32650944
No. They tried going for this in FRLG, that's why there was literal bait in FRLG arc (Vol 23-24) with Red doing everything he can for, and then he failed. And she tried to cheer him up, etc.
They also did stuff like blatantly say that she started nicknaming pokemon after meeting a dexholder in a flashback, and back then it was only red and yellow who nicknamed pokemon.
But you know, fans had their dicks out for Yellow since she's pure, innocent, a reverse-trap, a loli, etc.
>>32650966
>>32650970
>>32650966
I think it's because she was is too smug and not likeable on the beginning. Green is awesome and has a lot character development, but when Yellow appeared, most readers shipped her with Red because she was the opposite of green. Well Green is much more than pairing bailt though. I'd rather Green to stay single.
>>32651049
>Not likeable in the beginning.
>Implying she's likeable now.
>>32647912
Well, I'll post my fav pics. Most are of her counterpart Leaf, but almost most people doesn't know the difference at all
>>32651219
Blessed anon.
>>32651223
yeah, lets stay away ship wars and character bash
i love summer. and blue.
as western rpg
>>32651243
sorry for the typos, it hurted my eyes
>>32647912
with other pokegirls
another one
>>32647912
ok. i'm done. bye
>>32651316
>on your birthday... you get rape
>>32650904
*BRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPP*
>>32652508
So do these two actually like each other or what?
>>32652571
depends of your headcanon... on the manga they like each other but the nature of their relationship is not stated.
>>32652571
Red in the manga, the original arc had like a harem thing. Classic shonen stuff.
It's implied offscreen that his friendship with Blue strengthened since he didn't trust her at all cause they had a Batman and Catwoman thing going on.
Then in GSC, it's basically concrete that they're really close friends.
Then in FRLG, it sheds light from Blue's perspective of how much she's changed because of her friends and it's heavily implied that Red is the one who helped her change into a better person as she started to nickname her Pokemon. (Green doesn't nickname his Pokemon, Yellow doesn't get her Pokedex until the end of FRLG)
Also in FRLG, Red and Green both try to get stronger to avenge Blue as she's traumatized into a very very short coma when she witnesses losing her parents, and when Red kinda falters, she's the one to try and cheer him up even though she's injured + still dealing with that emotional trauma of losing her parents to Deoxys.
In ORAS, the two still hang out and Red specifically calls for her assistance since his BFF Green is in Kalos (XY arc?).
So they're like really good friends. Unsure if you want to take it as romantic, it's more natural than seeing Yellow being all flutter blushy and all the fan-art that comes associated with that where they portray him as a dumbass even though the manga directly shows that he's not that clueless as like for example, Ash.
Manga hints heavily that he's had an affection for Blue (because she's cute), and he's had a crush on Misty and trusts her a lot for advice and other things as she's the one who helped take the Team Rocket threat seriously since he didn't really give a fuck before. But he avoided all that romance shit at the end of GSC since it was on the spot, and there was like 4-5 other people around eavesdropping.
>>32652638
thanks. I'm surprised no amourshitter said red should be with serena as they try to shove they shit shipping in everything and can't distinguish the different versions,
>>32652638
Crt is that you?
>>32655130
Nope, but most of my post is taken off his blog, just summarized and with my opinions.
>>32655130
is this a meme everytime /vp/ sees red/blue pics and fluff?
>>32655157
>>32655162
who is crt?
>>32655176
he's the lead for pokemon adventures scanlation team. he basically does everything. he really likes red/blue pairing and dumped an art thread for them in the past. he always writes like essays to why he thinks red/blue is a good pairing that should be appreciated more.
>>32655182
Huh. Still a shame since we know the author knows the general Fandom wants red and yellow to happen.
>>32655191
Kusaka gives about as much of a fuck about the fandom as Gamefreak does about /vp/. N/Hilda had a massive following and he shit all over it just because he could.
>>32655182
>red/blue in the manga or the gay pairing? lol aand the thread was on vp?
>>32655216
I'm glad he did that because Hilda and N supporters at that time had the spot of the most retarded annoying fucked up fanbase of Pokemon. They distorter N personality as a helpless retarded or a rapist, treated them as if they were edwrad Cullen and Bella swan Hilda was always a Mary sue. Well done that white is very different than Hilda in the fandom.
Now, of course, they were outclassed by amourshitters, Brendan and may shippers who feel the need to defend their pairing at all times and chicken and Lillie fags. But still on top 5 of most fucked up shippers.
>>32651075
Green is the Melody of the manga, both have an awful personality
>>32649459
I'm down for diantha and green. Blue has little interaction with him. But besides Diantha what are the other options? Diantha is just one girl not tooons of girls
>>32655534
>Brenden and may shippers
wat
I barely ever see them except for these threads and usually they say "I like them" and fuck off. Am I missing something here?
I was always under the impression Blue and Silver were a thing.
>>32656391
They're brother and sister.
>>32656391
>>32656415
It's a Barry Allen and Iris West thing from the CW Flash show.
They're not blood-related, but they're basically family.
>>32656415
Headcanon.
>>32656628
Adoptive brother and sister, mind you. It's very clear each one has different parents, and both show up.
>>32656313
not sure of vp, but they are annoying forcing everybody to ship them as if they ship were awesome and the only option, and if you don't agree they freak out.
>>32658702
I don't think I've ever seen that happen.
What about Ruby xnon-autistic Courtney
>>32658729
tumblr and some forums are ful of these
>>32658729
tumblr mostly because at the time of ORAS,
May was shipped a lot with Steven by a ton of Japanese artists. and you know, culture anywhere outside of Japan were uncomfortable because "it's pedophilia" and Steven is a minor-attracted person or some stupid logic, so everyone just commissioned hoennshipping OR all the artists that were triggered by jap artists made their own art of brendan and may instead because it felt less weird.
>>32660135
>>32660469
I don't go on tumblr so that explains it. Full autism right there.
>>32660725
>>32660135
tumblr people has problems, they shouldn't represent anyone
>>32650970
I kinda dig her dress
>>32660023
Blown the fuck out by neo-Courtney.
>>32662743
better than the boring ruby vs sapphire
>>32662753
That's not what art amount says.
>>32662743
>tfw your waifu gets killed, brought back, then her chance to come back a decade later is replaced with an autistic version
Is this a fate worse than being a fan of Black?
>>32660469
I particularly think in the gameverse may makes more sense with Steven or Wally than Brendan that is a random neighbor who developed a random crush.
In the manga I'm all for Sapphire and Ruby, but I consider completely different universes.
>>32649459
Don't like diantha with blue dunno she is too boring and princess like bleeergh. I see why he wont end with green as they just annoy each other, but he needs a girl with a sassy temperament and that is more tomboyish to contrast with him.
>>32660469
They are idiots for taking those ages seriously. They wanted just make fuzz. I bet the ones who did that werent even brendan and may shippers but the generic bitter people with no social life on tumblr
>>32663919
I think that it's a fine fit for him. I'm sure Diantha could be a bit more sassy anyways, she did get angry at him and reminded him that she was the champion.
>>32664293
aww nice, which chapter is that?
>>32664339
chapter 27 i think.
