Jacq! (Oh good. Skippable. I like him as a character fine. I'm just not in cozy range to go willy-nilly spending my gems yet. 😣 Gotta get up to at least 21k more, I'd say. I wanna make sure I'm good for whenever they drop Arven.)
Aside from all that, it's Masters Day today! Guzma gets an expanded Sync Grid while Noland gets his EX!)
Wanted to try drawing this handsome fella again. Every time I draw him he ends up looking increasingly disgruntled and aggressive... He's a bit grumpy at times but he's a gentle giant <3
all the frontier brains share an initial with their symbol, yeah?
Greta has Guts, Tucker has Tactics, Spenser has Skill, etc. All except for Noland, who got Knowledge. And like, its not that hard to find a K name?? Ken, Keith, Kent, Klark, Kevin, uhhhh Kentucky- THE POINT IS, the game devs could’ve easily given Noland a K name.
Thus, I propose that Noland’s name is actually spelt Knoland on his birth certificate. idk why, maybe his parents wanted all their kids to have K-names, but ran out when Knoland came along.
Nobody knows he’s called Knoland though, because everyone who’s ever seen his legal name automatically ‘correct’ it. Knoland refuses to tell them otherwise.
Ngl, I audibly screamed a little when I saw Giovanni was this month's Lodge pair. I've had people say that it was unlikely the villains would come to the Lodge, and while it may be just him for now, this raises my hopes of Cyrus or Lysandre being added one day, at least a little bit!
But EXs for Thorton and Shauntal being unlocked, and (presumably) spotlight Lenora and a couple new variety banners for Thorton (Magnezone) and Noland (Ninjask). Aside from some Pokemon I really like becoming playable, most pairs seem pretty skippable except for Rei. (I already have Dark Zone with Cyrus and Neo Champ Calem.)
Edit: Thorton has an EX already (totally forgot tbh given I never used him ever), so not quite sure why AbsolutelyPM uploaded it again unless his palette changes when you EX Magnezone. That said, the only variety banners I've Scouted on are the ones that do change colors in their EX (Ball Guy, the Rocket admins) and not old characters like Kiawe/Mallow/etc, so I'm not sure which pairs change, even if it's into their original EX colors they have for their regular partners.
