I love Team Star a lot, actually

This is like. a lighthearted mini rant, mainly cuz I am tired of seeing Team Star getting the "they're bad cuz they're not evil" treatment. Honestly remembering the context that ScarVio takes place within a school environment, having an evil team that's just a group of delinquents works perfectly, considering you don't really personally interact with adults plotting to end the world during your school career.

I get that those kinds of evil teams tend to appeal better, but if Team Skull is able to get a lot of love while also being a group of delinquents (albeit influenced by a bigger evil), then what's stopping Team Star from getting the same kind of love?

This does have vague spoilers for Indigo Disk, and obvious spoilers for the main story, so please proceed with caution and read at your own risk.

I went into the Starfall Street storyline without expecting much, I mean, when Cassiopeia came to us asking to help disband Team Star, I didn't think much of it.

"We need to disband a group of delinquents cuz they're causing the school a lot of trouble? Okay, sure, whatever."

But every time we met up with Penny in-between each star base, and she starts putting details into our heads about how everyone in Team star were bullying victims, and this was their way of standing up to their bullies, I saw them in a completely different light.

Bullying is something that's, unfortunately, still frequent in a lot of schools, and I'm a victim of bullying myself. So when all these details came to my attention, I grew extremely fond of all these characters. I grew especially fond of Giacomo, who was alienated from his peers for his strict policies when on the student council.

In all honesty, ScarVio is very down to earth with its story and how it's portrayed, so much so that I forgot I was playing a Pokemon game, since I'm used to these elements of whimsy being present. Team Star at its core is a group of young kids who were bonded together by similar experiences, and use that similarity to lift each other up and support one another. Operation Starfall only came into effect because of threats of expulsion, and Penny cared for them too much to let that happen.

Team Star was built on the basis of love, and while calling them an "Evil Team" after learning all this is a little weird, they initially present themselves as antagonistic, so it still checks that box. That love is still present in a cutscene after finishing the Indigo Disk, where the Team Star bosses take it upon themselves to form a study group so they don't stress Penny out too much.

These characters feel so real, and honestly all the characters do. They're so full of personality and color yet don't feel overly exaggerated. For Team Star, there's bonding with others through your loneliness and alienation, the uncertainty of not know what the future will bring, and treasuring your friends even if they don't know how much you truly care for them at first.

So sure, Team Star isn't evil. But by no means are they bad characters. I've found comfort in them, as I'm sure many others have too. Their experiences are real, and has happened to others. But everyone can have their own opinion, just don't push yours onto others because they don't agree with it.

Shine bright like the starry sky and become who you really want to be, hasta la vistar... ☆

#pokemon #pkmn #pokemon scarlet and violet #pokemon sv #team star #this is like. an actual essay #sorry guys #am i angry? no not really #am i annoyed? yeah a little #it just feels like my own experience is being condemned when people say team star is bad #or that the fact they're not evil makes them a bad team

[hamofjustice]

it's nice that we're getting anything i guess, but, i'm gonna be what may come off as a little petty and whiny here; it'd be cool if either iteration of the gen 9 anime so far was actually about gen 9's characters instead of using them as cameos to promote original stories we have no investment in yet

it's like, i dunno, like the bait and switch with sonic appearing in wreck it ralph ads, except if wreck it ralph existing meant there would never be a sonic movie, and if you were invested in those characters and recognized they weren't generic platformer mascots, sucks for you, nobody cares

maybe they're just giving the DLC space to do its thing with them first (if they do anything at all...) but idk, i was cautiously optimistic about nemona in horizons, only for her to be a character of the day that the episode wasn't about, and pretty excited by "gen 9 prequel anime" only to find out it's going to be like, four short stories about OCs who have quick brushes with them. these are like the lacroix hint of what an anime about the game could've been like and you're left to imagine the rest yourself

i shouldn't be that surprised if the gen 8 anime reduced hero of galar hop to a character of the day with a level 5 wooloo in order to let the galaxy revolve around ash battling his brother because epic charizards, but man. what if it wasn't like that that now that ash is gone.

we haven't seen penny and team star at all because they're the hardest to talk about without bringing up the trauma of school bullying and the fear of being yourself at school when you're way too young to be dealing with all that drama responsibly. she's still learning to love and forgive herself and feel wanted.

arven's story is about, like, being a latchkey kid to a self-absorbed parent, being unsure how to feel about repairing the relationship or how seriously to take them saying they love him, and struggling to make friends due to misdirected resentment toward people he's jealous of for having apparently normal families and the stubborn self-reliance he was forced into. he's still trying to process things, find himself, and let people in.

nemona is supposed to have been a directionless lonely and depressed kid who hated being called gifted when everything was hard for her, until she met the player character and gained a peer who understood and appreciated she was a little different and she didn't have to mask her true self to have friends anymore. she's happy for now, but may still be under a little too much pressure to be perfect at the expense of her own personality, and probably won't deal well with being abandoned.

as much as they resonate with adults and are a little darker than usual pokemon fare, they're also smaller scale and realer. they are all stories that are explicitly about and meant to be relatable to kids going to school! y'know, your audience! you don't need to paint over them with 3-4 new characters and new stories every time like there was nothing there, or something shameful you need to sanitize and cover up! you can just use the game the way it is!

this got a little more heated than i intended, i just feel a little ridiculous waiting anxiously for loose scraps of a sign that this story isn't over and in the trash already and nemona's life-changing attachment to the player character isn't going to go totally ignored, as we are bombarded with what is supposed to be followup material that almost all seems eager to talk about literally anything else like they think the main story was a mistake they need to run away from

now, i'm not one to complain about original stories being told, but this was already a story that had room to grow. imagine a world where the gen 9 anime was actually about nemona, arven, penny, and the friend who brought them together. or what their lives were like before that friend came along. every episode. that would get me to watch the anime again and whatever movie came out for it. ask yourself why we don't have that, or even the traditional, like, 1-2 characters tagging along with the MCs per region thing that would leave us knowing them better than we know some irl friends

how was starting over with 100% original characters and new lore that might conflict hard with the upcoming DLC the safer bet? why is a 44 minute miniseries specifically for fans of the game making up OCs for them to get invested in and scrambling to tell their stories as quickly as possible before throwing them in the trash instead of being about the damn game?

sigh. i shouldn't get invested in a series that's about selling monster plushies just because it had one story that stuck with me

#paldean winds seems to mostly be making fun of the infodumping fat pokemon nerd character until he gets his own episode #y'know. the one that represents a lot of their viewers #while nemona is right there outside the window hyping up little kids about battles as usual because they don't hate her like her peers #honestly her overhearing the conversation and looking a little uncomfortable about it would've been a good touch #confirmation that the subtext i noticed is actually considered part of the canon and not a happy accident they'll never talk about again #something i have only gotten from pokemon masters so far #pokemon sv #pokemon #nemonaposting #pokemon scarvi #pokemon scarlet and violet #yada yada ten million other tags #'well at least there's the manga' the manga that inserted its own wacky main character that will probably also revolve around him #idk that one could still be good but it's also an AU and not the versions of the characters i'm invested in if that makes sense #i've been begging for pokemon to feel in touch with its audience forever and as soon as it is they treat it like a hot potato #i feel fucking obsessed because of how long this tease has been stretching on for no good reason #they could've just let us ACTUALLY hang out with the friend trio in vanilla postgame and shown them in the DLC a single time #and i could have had a normal social media presence for the past 3-6 months #instead of dreaming about a pokemon npc last night because of how little faith i have in her getting any justice outside of a fucking gacha #i am so sorry that this is who i am now except for the 2-3 of you who follow me specifically because i post these things #pennyposting #arvenposting

I’ve been watching RTgames playthrough of Pokemon Scarlet, which is amazing. Unfortunately a side effect of this playthrough is that whenever I see other peoples characters from the game my brain takes a moment to process them. I am way too used to seeing the being that is lettuce that seeing a normal person in this game makes me brain lag.

#pokemon scarlet and violet #RTGame #people can make normal characters in this game? #news to me #daniel has ruined so many games where you create your own character for me tbh #I watch him play them #then go to another persons playthrough #and have to pause to process the fact they made an actual character #and not boris johnson #or fucking lettuce

Do you think Mela could still wear the flame charge boots with the regular uniform🤔

she could and she abso fucking lutely will wear them. she stares you down with the straightest expression she can make, despite the difficulty she has wearing them, and walks off.

You cannot make fun of her, she has owned up to this. This is her life, and Clavell can only try his hardest not to laugh because it wouldn't be right. He can't do this, he has to take this seriously.

Mela cannot be stopped. That is why she is to be feared. :V

#ask #pokemon #pokemon scarlet and violet #mela #i like to think she owns up to that silliness #and atticus is the one who personally asks to fix it #and has to ACTUALLY convince her to let him fix it #no manches (fanfic) #this is going in the fanfic now #i need it

Hi Nemona! If you don't mind me asking, why do you wear an arm brace?

So, yeah! That’s that! Kinda why I’m not good with stairs, throwing Pokéballs… all that stuff

slightly related to that tiktok I shared. does anyone know of a way to pirate/emulate the SV DLC? for Violet specifically? or buy it secondhand? bc I have a copy of Violet but don’t have the DLC for it :/ would I have to buy a different (pre-owned) copy w/ the DLC already on it?

#just curious #if that last part is the case then I might just like. sell my current Violet copy #and save up to buy a pre-owned version w/ the dlc already on it #I’ve always thought the fact that you have 2 buy the dlc for each version separately was stupid #is there like a REASON for that or is it just. capitalism #also this question applies for the Shield DLC too actually #pokemon #pokemon scarlet and violet #pkmn sv #shut up wren

My only hesitation with adding Arven (or any of the Pokémon ScarVi characters) as muses is that idk when is the appropriate time to start doing that bc spoilers and stuff

#ooc tag #《 I know i can just tag spoilers but I'd have to add a lot of tags bc idk what tags people are using as filters 》 #《 doesn't help that there's two versions of the game 》 #《 i only own scarlet bc I'm not paying an extra $60 for the same game twice + i don't like miraidon as much 》 #《 but i would incorporate some violet lore 》 #《 maybe I'm just overthinking but i haven't seen a single scarvi muse yet 》 #《 unless I'm not looking in the right places 》 #《 idek how many of y'all even care about scarvi spoilers 》 #《 but I'd rather stress myself out with overthinking than post something careless and ruin the experience for y'all 》 #《 almost done with the main game so I'll actually be able to do other things soon 》 #《 i didn't expect to get this sucked into the game 》
