hi!! hope you’re having a good day!! sending you this ask bc I value your opinions as a fellow leon enjoyer and potentially a red enjoyer as well—have you ever considered how they’re both people who became champions at an extremely young age compared to others and the way their experiences with that impacted them? Idk there’s just something in how red ran off to mt silver afterward (which maybe wasn’t wholly a result of the pressure of being champion but I’m sure it didn’t help) but leon couldn’t run from that pressure. and they’re both considered some of the best trainers of all time and idk I just think there’s a lot to unpack there. maybe this is nonsensical but i promise it made sense in my head haha
yes yes yes to all of this. it scratches the biggest itch in my brain. under cut because i could probably make a video essay yapping about this. maybe someday
I hope you're having a good day too ☺️
the sharp and promising grandchild of the most prestigious professor with big shoes to fill and all the pressure in the world to become somebody, whose neighbor and best friend is a bit soft and easy to underestimate somehow ends up hardening into this mysterious prodigy they're now in the shadow of. and the years and years of estrangement after that and wanting to be close again but now knowing how. am i talking about red and blue or leon and sonia
i can go on about the blue parallels in sonia and how it diverges to raihan 🫢 but this is about leon and red
the parallels between them was one of the things that initially endeared me to leon. i made a comic a few years ago about this 🙈
i think of red finally off of mt. silver and participating in the unova world tournament. battling publically for the first time since his debut indigo league run. i think he learns a lot about how to enjoy battling for its own sake and navigating the spotlight and what responsibilities that entails. its not as scary with blue there. and since blue has more experience professionally battling since being a gym leader, he learns a lot from him. i think that experience is what made him later feel capable of running the battle tree with blue
red got to reclaim batting at his own pace and on his terms but at what cost yknow 😭 spending a few months(?) a year or two(?) isolated and roughing it on a fucking mountain. not even getting into team rocket and mewtwo LOL
☝️🤓 i do think the culture around battling in kanto vs galar being so different and what being a champion means in both of those regions matters. the industry in galar has so much more economic and political power compared to kanto. the stadium gyms and sponsorship logos on the gym leader uniforms say enough about that
but i think red gave up the title for a few reasons. he doesnt want to be tethered. i hc him traveling and doing field research expeditions for blue and the lab. being stuck within the indigo plateu seemed like a suffocating nightmare back then. and what would he be waiting on, there? for blue to come back and challenge him? what would be the point. i think he knew rejecting the title would make blue spiral. maybe it was his way of showing him if you have the "right" thing for the wrong reason, then you've got nothing at all
and i think that's what leon learned 🫣 being the galar champ for so long
i think the way raihan challenged leon every year would be like if red did keep the title and blue kept steamrolling through the elite four over and over. i think he'd never win cos his mind wasn't right. and like with raihans pov: at that point, its not even about the title. its about proving something else. i think it took raihan a few years to reach that point tbh.
but the way leon couldn't run from it the way red did (chairman rose is haunting this conversation) 🥀 but in a way he sort of does. I think the isolation of the battle tower is what allows him to re-experience battling on his own terms in the way red got to on mt.silver
in joodles world the champion gloria rematch with chairman leon in the privacy of the battle tower is as glorious and insane as ethan and lyra's against red in the desolate mt.silver.........
but both of those battles for leon and red sort of reminds them why they are who they are. and maybe some clues on how to go forward from that
i can keep going but this is already soooo long. basically leon is a fascinating case study of what happens to a pokemon protagonist and it makes me insaneeee
having a pokemon trainer red summer 2025. white t shirt blue jeans and ball caps. going on walks and exploring and being in nature in solitude. just listening to the breeze. sitting under a tree. making moves in silence. talking to 1-2 people i like and thats it. analog lifestyle. treating myself to a sweet treat or something who gives a fuck what people think. teaching my pikachu how to read

i think after his defeat leon comes home for a while. at one point, he happens to pass by hop's room when hop isn't in it. leon stands in the doorway for a while, looking at his face on every wall. his posters, his figurines. champion, champion, champion.
kids go through phases, is the thing. a four-year-old might be obsessed with dragon-types for a while. a seven-year-old might want to be an astronaut. but kids grow up. their interests mature. they take down their posters. change their themed bedsheets.
there aren't any pictures in this room of him and hop together. nothing that isn't the god-king of galar. but what's the point of keeping merchandise of a dethroned champion? its old. outdated. time to move on.
he stands in that doorway for a long time. someday soon hop's going to pack all this stuff up, is the thing. someday soon he'll have to accept that his hero is gone, that the champion has been defeated. all that's left is his brother. the mortal leon, dethroned and dragged back down to earth.

Dungeons and Dragons exploded in popularity around the early 80s, which is also when New Teen Titans was being written. Obviously the timeline has shifted to accommodate for the characters being as young as they are in the modern day, but I still kind of like imagining certain ages happening in the era they were written (as in, the Fab Five using 60s slang, the Young Justice roster being 90s kids, etc.)
So if Dick is familiar with D&D to this extent, he must’ve gotten into it during his NTT days. Thus begs the question: who else did, and what did they play as? Did they have campaigns based on their villains? Did Dick do this under the excuse of “war games and strategic role play” because he had too many sticks up his ass to admit he just wanted to spend time with his friends? The world may never know.
(At least, we’ll know nothing except that Joey played. Joey absolutely played, he was a Bard, and he knew it was on the nose and did not give a shit.)
You see, I hear all of you, and I raise you: Dick learned how to play dnd with the Titans so that he could play with Tim, because Tim was still kind of distant and overly hero-worshippy and professional at the beginning. Dick comes back after A Lonely Place of Dying already thoroughly brother pilled, but with no means of getting through to the kid who adores him as a figure but doesn’t yet know how to connect with him as a person, and Dick thinks “he seemed like a nerd, he probably likes nerd things”, and thus uses the Titans as practice.
Then he may or may not “coincidentally” bring it up the next time he visits, to loosen Tim up a bit, and it works. This begins a very disjointed, years-long campaign with sessions any time either has time to visit (when Tim goes to Blüdhaven or when Dick visits Gotham respectively). They did a lot in the Clench recovery, and maybe during parts of No Man’s Land where they were waiting around and there was nothing to do.
(And then it abruptly ended after Bruce died and no one ever started it back up again :( )
