With his ability to meddle with devices and fix things, Mr. Puzzles tends to be characterised in the fandom somewhat as a 'mechanic'. I do like what that aspect can offer to his relationship with WPNZ, with their robotic parallels offering ways both can care for each other ("We can fix each other", etc. etc.)

Here's the thing though:

In my eyes Mr. Puzzles is NOT a mechanic...

He's a technician.

Throughout his busy bodying and shown abilities to make or fix stuff, it has ALWAYS (from what I remember) involved electronic equipment, devices and doo-dads. It also makes more sense for me, in my eyes, for that to be the case considering his whole personality revolves around one big electronic device. He quite literally made it a part of himself, both physically and figuratively. It also reflects in his powers and other motifs (The virtual world inside his head, his electric zaps, etc.).

One of the main reasons I see that being more likely the case is because, while there's places their skills overlap, being a technician is VERY different from a mechanic. Mechanics deal with a lot of machinery and hands-on approaches with equipment that can be powered by all forms of energy (diesel, steam, air pressure, water, etc.). Being a technician, by comparison, requires a larger degree of complex knowledge and problem solving in order to make repairs, which I think Mr. Puzzles definitely has, but not necessarily in a field outside regular electronics.

Let me put it this way: if your car engine fails, you'll call a mechanic, right? Do you call that same mechanic to fix a broken TV? No! You call a technician. They are different fields of skills and abilities. Some elements sometimes overlap, sure, but I'm not trusting the car mechanic to start tinkering with my TV.

Another reason I think this is because I just take issue with the "mechanic" label for Mr. Puzzles when it comes to how he's written. For example, I've seen lot of people dismiss or diminish his inability to fix WPNZ in "A VERY Unlikely Friendship" as "bad writing". To be honest, even if he was a mechanic, he was under added pressure and time to rush his work, so that claim never really held footing for me. However, I think him being a technician would also add to why he struggled to fix WPNZ. He understands electronics first and foremost as a an electronic android.

Let's also consider WPNZ himself. He is literally made of weapons. All of which have many moving parts, elements that would require regular maintenance, oiling, cooling, cleaning and replacement. That makes him very much a mechanical android in my eyes. Puzzles meanwhile may need to replace a switchboard or wiring by comparison, but he doesn't necessarily have as many mechanical parts to himself.

Anyway, my point is, in my eyes, these two are very different types of androids, and as such, have VERY different understandings of self-care and maintenance.

I'd like to envision that if their relationship with each other blossomed, it would be through learning elements of each other's components and realising they'd need to adapt their care methods to suit each other's needs better. Mr. Puzzles requires a lot more delicate care and attention with his complex and fragile wirings, while WPNZ needs a practical approach and hard toil to keep his large moving parts working.

I can just envision them learning and developing so much for the better in that pursuit to care for each other.

i feel like with the information given in the games, it seems ghetsis’ main reasons for taking anthea and concordia in as his daughters was to have them as caretakers to n, not really having their own identities outside of caring for their sibling that was meant to be this monarch figure, imagine what that must feel like 😭😭😭😭 maybe after everything, anthea and concordia used what they learned from team plasma to raise awareness and prevent genuine harm to pokemon, becoming activists in the unova region! idk why but i specifically like the concept of anthea owning a garden and hosting little events in said garden for pokemon and trainers alike, maybe concordia branches out more and finds a new style and vibe in a bigger city like castelia and when all three siblings reunite they get to tell each other what they’ve all been up to

If so, can anyone else agree that it’s complete bullshit?

Because it is. I’ve gone through phases where I’ve downright despised myself, yet I’ve been able to love my mum, my dad, my brother, my dogs, the rest of my family and my friends. So yes, I can love others, even if I don’t love myself.
