I Can't Judo My Way Out Of This One -Jaehee Kang

Nice, it worked. If they've been sealed for years and just returned to the modern world, they aren't familiar with these. I don't know anything about about a thousand-year grudge, but grudges are no match for modern technology. Don't think you can do whatever you want on my turf.

It's not clear to me how often that ever actually happens holistically, but it's certainly a tool the series uses constructively.

What I mean by that is, it doesn't seem to me like characters are designed specifically in conjunction with a specific Pokémon, where the mon and character act as extensions of one another's character designs. Giovanni has his famous Persian (in the anime anyway), and that Pokémon suits him well, but Persian wasn't designed to complement Giovanni. Ghetsis has his Hydreigon that uses Frustration at max power, which certainly tells us something about what he's like as a character, but Hydreigon was not initially designed for Ghetsis.

And I'm sure someone who's more into the weeds of trivia than me would know if I'm wrong here, but to my knowledge, while there are plenty of human characters who are designed to reflect Pokémon, there are barely any Pokémon that were designed specifically to reflect a human character. The one example I can think of off the top of my head is Nihilego and Lusamine, where Nihilego's shape design matches Lusamine's, and they seem designed specifically to fit together.

Nihilego acts as both an isolating bubble, shutting Lusamine further away from reality and her children, as well as a "crown" or royal mantle, and acts as an extension of Lusamine's devouring mother archetype with the many staring eyes and enveloping tentacles. Surveillance and constriction.

And of course, Llilie's initial design at the start of the game has more than a passing resemblance to Nihilego's shape language, which again raises this idea of Lusamine trying to figuratively climb inside of her daughter, to make her child an extension of herself, which is familiar to certain kinds of narcissistic parental abuse narratives.

“this isn’t true because the ex-friendship that traumatized me ended explosively after they were mad at me and never told me why” that’s not good. they shouldn’t be doing that

“i don’t think this is true because my current friend group is constantly icing me out until i figure out what ive done to upset them and properly apologized without being told” hey thats not good. they should not be doing that

i’m not sure if you’ve ever made a post about this (or if this is even obscure information) but this is really interesting

i can’t find the original interview but i’ve seen multiple people on different platforms mentioning how susie was originally inspired by maya fey so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This was in fact said by Toby Fox in a 2019 interview with Nintendo Everything!

This is reflected in her early concept art, where she had a ponytail similar to Maya Fey!
