Blorbo Showdown: Round 1, Match 4
also they both play music, also they both inspired very very long alt-canon fanfic plans i've got lying around through sheer power of kinning
On the left: gym leader Piers from Pokemon: Sword & Shield. I have written at length about why he is the best character in Pokemon and why everything about his design is genius, and I have also written at length about why he represents everything about SWSH's story that was a letdown for me. The duality of man.
On the right: Ikkan from the Splatoon series. He's appeared in two games- as part of the main band from 1 and a side band from 2. He has next to no characterization, especially if you're only looking at english-language sources. I adore him and his dumb music taste and his alley cat boyfriend.

Honestly I'm like. A little mad about Piers as a gym leader. Like. This is the FIRST time pokemon has had a dark type leader, a full 6 generations after the type was introduced (meanwhile steel and fairy get leaders in the same games they're introduced), and they decide. That as the S E V E N T H gym leader, they want him to not use *the* gimmick of the entire game which is introduced to you in literally like the second town and is the only whisper of maybe sort of a plot happening a couple of miles away from the player at any given time??? What the fuck and THEN they don't have him be one of the elite 4 because he loses the battle to face you and his opponent specifically compliments him on his skill????!?!! Like. I recognize and agree with most other things you've said about him but I'm mad about This specifically. The game feels like it took a very tell don't show approach to just about everything and I was not here for it. I do get them wanting to put in little bits of the culture I guess? But like. You did it bad, guys.
hmm yeah, i think one of the reasons why i specifically dislike him is because dark types are my favourite and they really didnt do the dark type gym justice. no real gym challenge, no main gimmick used, gym leader looks ugly, nothing about this area says "dark type", why is dark types colour a bright dark pink, etc
only thing i disagree with is that im glad they didnt have him in the pseudo elite four. the game keeps shoving him down your throat with having him be the one that solves that entire thing in wyndon and having him with you the entire time in the post game as if hes a worthwhile character
only dark type specialists ill acknowledge are sidney and karen because sidney actually looks like a dark type trainer and karen says one of the most iconic lines in the franchise. what does piers have to offer besides being kinned by jimmy urine

I saw @yellraiser ‘s villain Piers desing and boy i just had to make a villain marnie design, this isn’t the full thing but ngl I’m going way to overboard with the design :’3 it’s a fun one!
Anyways I feel even as a villain Piers would be kind to his lil sister, Marnie is not afraid to get her hands dirty if need be though, she’d most likely be Piers’s second in command
