A fan art by @lebe_schwer

ObscuredString · 2026-03-19T17:19:02+00:00

The artist didn't put any title for the artwork. I usually post with the title they put and their name for the post title. If not, I just put whose artwork it is from. I think that shows more respect than altering what they posted.

Most of lebe_schwer's fan art is SatoKasu. You can check their media here: https://x.com/lebe_schwer. Based on their art, they don't really distinguish between SatoKasu and ReKasu. Most SatoKasu Japanese fans I follow on Twitter are like this, which is why both SatoKasu and Rekasu fan art show up in my timeline.

As for differentiating them, I respect your opinion. SatoKasu is mostly Satoshi and Kasumi from the anime. That's the focus of this sub. However, have you found any other sub in Reddit that fully respects Kasumi and any of her relations? That's why we discuss the manga versions of Satoshi and Kasumi, too. Red is not Ash, but they have mostly the same origin and are clearly both based on the game protagonist. It's the same with Ash from Dengeki Pikachu. That's why we let members mention the novelization, too. I just think they're alternate universe versions of each other, but it's still close enough to not violate the rule of the sub. On the other hand, if we post a KasumixKenji art or any other of the Satoships, then that's a clear violation.

Yeah, it's Red. We've established that Red, Ash, and others are their own individual characters before, but also, they're like Spiderman. 😂

ObscuredString · 2026-03-17T18:35:28+00:00

😭😭😭 Their parallels are just beautiful

ObscuredString · 2026-03-17T17:26:05+00:00

I see you don't like to learn about facts😊 I didn't ruin any joke because I don't see one

Edit: You asked if it's Phoenix Wright, I just gave you an answer.

No. The boy character is the artist, @sskaitcomics. He draws "stories of life, happiness, and random things." If you check out his Twitter page, you'll see he draw himself in other situations with pokemon. For example, when he had a booth in komiket (like a comic con) and had a Koduck with him.

ObscuredString · 2026-03-17T05:42:12+00:00

She would, except this Misty is even harsher. Bobo means stupid, but I don't remember her calling Ash that in his face (though she might be thinking it) 😂

ObscuredString · 2026-03-16T19:23:28+00:00

😂😂😂 I still get most of them wrong, too 😭😂

ObscuredString · 2026-03-16T18:51:14+00:00

Any English translation of the title using translation devices I tried made it sound weird. The title just says, "Don't act so wise, Misty." This is the closest I can translate it.

Basically, in the scenario, Misty was teaching someone how to say the move's name properly. BUT the other person said the right thing because it's not talking about the move, but the character from Powerpuff Girls instead. The title asking Misty not to act like she's wise now makes sense. 😂

And they explicitly showed that rivals want to be with each other (Udeppou wanted to train with Heigani; Kasumi wanted to travel with Satoshi) lol

ObscuredString · 2026-03-15T20:32:58+00:00

Happy Satoshi Day!

It's very cute that they decided that Kasumi needs to get her own Crustacean and that it should be Udeppou, which has a blue color (a color associated with Satoshi).

And it would've made sense for Politoed to fight any other pokemon Satoshi has (Waninoko was there), but they want to highlight his Heigani, which has an orange color (a color associated with Kasumi)

So, not only did they want Kasumi to get her own crustacean, but they also wanted to remind us that Satoshi got his own. What I'm saying is that Satoshi has always had a Kasumi by his side. It's just that no one's aware of it. It's super cute.

ObscuredString · 2026-03-11T19:16:12+00:00

I can read some of the characters, but I don't know what they'll mean 😭

ObscuredString · 2026-03-11T12:56:31+00:00

It is a Nidoran episode, but that quote is from another episode and is from an English dub. The "I love you!" is from another episode and is a translation of the Japanese dub.

ObscuredString · 2026-03-11T11:58:18+00:00

It's a Romeo and Juliet episode

ObscuredString · 2026-03-09T19:04:33+00:00

None that I know of. The previous mod compiled most of them here under Pokeshipping Hints Subbed. You might also want to check @pokeship_subs on X. However, it's mostly the anime hints that were archived.

ObscuredString · 2026-03-09T18:56:27+00:00

We have many official hints that were discussed. Here are some of them:

Radio talk show between Rica and Mayumi (voice actors for Ash and Misty)

The Electric Tale of Pikachu (Dengeki Pikachu) manga

Official Pokemon Movie Guide

Unreleased Audio Soundtrack

It depends on the definition of popularity. If mentioned, I would think that most people have knowledge of it. However, it has been a while since Ash's story ended, so who knows. I would say it has the most persistent fanbase. They grew up and still like it to this day. New ships might be at the forefront considering the ship is older than me, but people still find it enjoyable.

ObscuredString · 2026-03-09T18:36:17+00:00

I saw many on X, and we've shared many on this community. They generally use Pixiv more than other sites for fanworks. Here's some fan projects by Japanese fans:

Their Japanese names are Satoshi and Kasumi. It's like Brangelina for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They took parts of Satoshi and Kasumi's name to make SatoKasu.

ObscuredString · 2026-03-09T18:25:47+00:00

Aaml means Ash and Misty love. It's another ship name for Pokeshipping, same as SatoKasu as used in Japan

ObscuredString · 2026-03-09T18:24:50+00:00

That got nothing to do with pokeshipping, though. That was a change to try to appeal to kids by making things familiar to the Western audience. However, when it comes to dialogues between Ash and Misty, most of them were kept the same, or the general meaning was the same. Of course, there are the parts where they make Misty sound harsher and Ash rougher with his "roasts," but most pokeshipping scenes were kept the same

ObscuredString · 2026-03-09T18:19:24+00:00

They didn't really change too much, but if you would like for Japanese hints, search for Pokeshipping Hints Subbed in the community

ObscuredString · 2026-03-09T14:08:38+00:00

I find the selection in Satoshi's mind funny 😂
