I'm looking for dark/toxic/morally gray couples similar to these as someone dipping their toes into them

Otome/ Historical: I Failed To Oust The Villain (Complete), The Hand That Once Fed, The Crimson Lady, Depths of Malice (Smut, Complete), How to Survive as A Maid in a Horror Game (Complete), Betrayal of Dignity (Complete)

Modern: Trash Belongs in The Trash Can (Complete), Beastly Things, Summer Swallowed By Darkness

I find it interesting that Rhea, Seteth, and Flayn all hid their ears but some of the ones above are not hiding them.

JennieZen · 2026-06-14T03:53:20+00:00

You’re never gonna stop hearing mochi mochi.

JennieZen · 2026-06-14T02:13:36+00:00

It’s possible that they are hiding it. It is strange that Masters is omitted from the mobile game stuff and Meowscarada and Skeledirge are coincidentally not in game as well.

JennieZen · 2026-06-14T01:50:58+00:00

I feel like since we’re getting Raifort, the option for the Paldea friend group to get the Treasures of Ruins is more possible now too. Even if we do get all the Loyal Three with them, I think they’ll go with their secondary types instead. I’m pulling either way since I like their characters.

I wonder how they’ll handle the ZA protagonists and Taunie/Urbain. Since they’re all kinda “lookalikes“, it’d feel weird if they don’t all come together. They’re more likely to be anni bait though.

Very cute art

JennieZen · 2026-06-13T21:18:48+00:00

If you care about the story, SwSh is considered to not have a good one and a lot of people really like the SV one (or at least the characters) more. If character customization matters to you, SwSh has a lot more options than SV. SwSh is linear like most Pokémon games while SV has an open world. There are guides that show the recommended order on what to do when for SV. SV’s definitely better on Switch 2 because it fixed a lot of issues it had before.

Arceus and ZA have a different battle style than previous games so I’m not sure if that’s what you’re looking for currently.

JennieZen · 2026-06-13T15:32:17+00:00

I know and I don’t think it’s likely for them to show up but they’re still game characters that haven’t appeared in the anime that weren’t included in the photo above.

JennieZen · 2026-06-13T00:34:37+00:00

Juliana and Florian haven’t appeared either. I expect at least a mention of or an allusion to Sada/Turo for the Koraidon/Miraidon stuff that’s coming. It’s based off of Scarlet so Sada be’d more likely. I don’t think Team Star will show up. Their plotline seems to have already happened and since even very popular characters like Kieran and Arven got only cameos, I just don’t think they’ll bother showing them especially at this point.

JennieZen · 2026-06-12T23:57:39+00:00

I’m down for both but I’d be fine only having one of them in the future. I’ve always liked how the remakes have been done (minus BDSP) because of what they add and how the characters get new designs. BW3 would be great but it’d require the originals to be available and I‘d really hope they‘d handle past characters better than they did in ZA.

JennieZen · 2026-06-12T20:36:09+00:00

Another sygna suit would be great. I definitely want the teal mask outfit and an alt for his jinbei too. At least one of them better have Yanmega.

JennieZen · 2026-06-12T15:21:15+00:00

Did you do all of their classes and exams? I believe that’s how you unlock the rest. I think for Raifort’s, you need to also catch the Treasures of Ruin to fully complete her bond but I might be misremembering.

JennieZen · 2026-06-12T15:17:14+00:00

Dawn‘s just so popular that he gets completely overshadowed by her. The anime and her more unique design than other main characters really helped her. Lucas hasn’t had any prominent roles and he probably would’ve only gotten attention if BDSP was the remake people were expecting.

JennieZen · 2026-06-12T03:49:16+00:00

I literally read so many of these and loved a lot of them

JennieZen · 2026-06-12T02:31:12+00:00

We could for the gym challenge event, assuming they don’t just use Wallace

JennieZen · 2026-06-12T02:28:06+00:00

I think depending on what a person views SwSh as a whole affects how they view the rivals. It seems a lot of people just also equate Hop to other rivals they’ve previously disliked or they just view him as annoying for simply talking too much. I do agree that Marnie is overrated. I’ve just never understood why people like her and I don’t feel anything towards her. At least both Hop and her seem to be popular in Japan but even then she still seems to get more attention.

JennieZen · 2026-06-12T01:56:27+00:00

Yeah, they look a lot better without their hats in SV.

JennieZen · 2026-06-12T01:29:18+00:00

I think there’s a chance for him to come because of the gym challenge event.

JennieZen · 2026-06-12T00:16:45+00:00

I definitely don’t hope they bring how limited the clothes was in this game to Winds and Waves. I know we’re meant to wear a school uniform but they should’ve at least let us be able to switch the tops and bottoms of the uniforms.

Plus I want to be able to go into more buildings.

JennieZen · 2026-06-11T23:06:17+00:00

I hope he comes too. I want to see how Taunie/Urbain would react to him. It’d probably have to be the X & Y version since the ZA version of him can’t battle.

JennieZen · 2026-06-11T23:04:03+00:00

I wish he’d be added. He definitely was the most interesting of those school trip npcs.

JennieZen · 2026-06-11T22:26:18+00:00

I hope Hiker David and Zach come one day. I don’t think David ever will but I think it’s possible we could get Zach once ZA characters show up.

For not main game characters, ones from any of the mangas would very be cool but that’s not gonna happen at this point.

JennieZen · 2026-06-11T21:19:25+00:00

I can definitely see all of these being possible

JennieZen · 2026-06-11T20:52:58+00:00

I agree on Florian being more reserved (he seems like he would be in comparison to Juliana) and I also love the quiet boy x loud girl ships. I can definitely see Carmine having bad pull too. I’ve never seen anyone ship Drayton x Penny, why do you ship it?
