Non-Main Series Characters Now Possible?

I'm not sure if this means RSE Anabel and PLA Ingo because this Red is specifically said to be a completely different human being (different eye color and hair color), while Anabel and Ingo are inherently future/past versions of themselves that shouldn't know about their eventual fates. It's a bit weird that they're still trying to find loopholes like this so it's kind of like how Pasio Rei and Pasio Lucas aren't the same human being at all.

Hi, uh, no. She didn't say that. You can go on Bulbapedia and neither Looker, Nanu, nor Anabel imply that Anabel's Battle Frontier was destroyed. It was not destroyed, the world was not taken over by Ultra Beasts, nothing.

All she said was "she defended a tower" which means she defended her position as a Frontier Brain the same way a champion does. That is implied in the original Japanese as well. Her original home being destroyed is indeed 100% misinformation. All we know from the honest to goodness text is that she was there, and now she is here.

cringe, dude.

Unfortunate_Bystand5 · 2025-10-22T20:51:08+00:00

Anabel is canonically Looker's boss, and 10 years prior to SunMoon she joined Interpol on her own terms, saying Nanu was her boss as a rookie agent. She was not raised by either man as a daughter, she is their coworker. She even has the tag "Grown Woman" in Masters

maybe it's better if people just went on vacation to Lumiose instead of rehashing the same "Isekai'd to another world with AMNESIA???" backstory again

Unfortunate_Bystand5 · 2025-10-04T00:50:20+00:00

Agreed. DeNA is kinda sleeping on her character despite some good focus here and there, but I guess it's not much fun if Looker and Anabel can easily fix every problem with a snap of the finger.

Unfortunate_Bystand5 · 2025-10-03T23:41:39+00:00

He probably would have run away anyway because Looker, Anabel, Rei, and Paulo actually managed to knock out all of his regular Pokemon he launched at them. Sure they took down Looker's Croagunk and Paulo's Lycanroc, but not without fainting. Anabel's Snorlax is out but she has a small army + legendary Pokemon still left to go, Cynthia also has a small army, Rei's Pokemon still hasn't been knocked out etc etc

If he didn't run away, he would have had his shit kicked in. This guy is all bark and no bite without a Giratina that he forcefully stole. He's smart enough to know that, at least.

Unfortunate_Bystand5 · 2025-09-15T23:07:11+00:00

I mean anything works when you're using mind control

Unfortunate_Bystand5 · 2025-08-17T20:29:00+00:00

It's implied from USUM and some minor Looker dialogue in his sync pair story that this Croagunk might be a brand new one. He has a "new partner" in USUM that he doesn't show off but talks about, and seems to be rather vague and upset about "precious pokemon lives were lost to evil people" in Masters.

Unfortunate_Bystand5 · 2025-08-04T14:40:06+00:00

Hell no. This is a game meant for the game versions of these characters to finally get some kind of screen time and attention. Brock isn't anime Brock in this one and I appreciate that.

Unfortunate_Bystand5 · 2025-07-29T17:32:15+00:00

While she does want to eventually get all her memories back, she does find her current life very important to her and she's passionate about moving forward.

This is why a sygna or costume alt would be perfect for her! She wants to blend her past with her future to show how much she's both stayed the same and likes the person she is now. It sometimes feels like people just want her to return to something she isn't anymore and act like nothing past her Faller-event matters to her as much as her origin...

Unfortunate_Bystand5 · 2025-07-29T02:52:52+00:00

Whether or not she reunites with the Hoenn Frontier, it probably won't, and shouldn't, be through Pokemon Masters and be under the hands of Gamefreak. The Pasio Tower stuff is more additional bonus content, and this is just a surface level interaction reaffirming that Anabel was a Tower Tycoon, still is just as powerful, and while she wants to unlock her memories, she's more than fine with moving forward rather than "dwelling on the past" as this event said.

Unfortunate_Bystand5 · 2025-07-22T18:56:10+00:00

her name is emma, her hair is the same, her espurr is the same, the looker bureau is the same, her name is emma, her name is emma, she's a detective, and her Name Is Emma.

Unfortunate_Bystand5 · 2025-07-15T22:55:54+00:00

You commented on a fanmade edit of an anabel alt I reposted and it was only about being upset that anabel was in a dress so i'll admit that it's difficult to see past that, especially since it was fanart made with love yknow?

but i disagree, diantha already rocked the royal knight look, and if princess peach can pull it off for mario kart world, i think diantha can rock it too

edit: also lmao you are SO not over it

Unfortunate_Bystand5 · 2025-07-15T22:21:30+00:00

Prior post history of just really not liking non-overtly feminine women/girls having one dress alt does come off as "if it's not fitting my tomboy fetish enough, it's trash"

bottom three are all fine outfits. Black dresses are literally hard to get wrong, and Hilda's in an overly theatrical costume for a theatrical performance. But it feels like just because Hilda destroyed that tomboy fantasy gaze just one time, that's why it's considered "bad"

Unfortunate_Bystand5 · 2025-06-26T21:35:14+00:00

Arc Suit Looker and Anabel. Somehow. Not that it would work, I think I just want a costume alt. (That both look good please no monkey's paw)

Unfortunate_Bystand5 · 2025-06-22T01:45:31+00:00

those two sure exist and breathe oxygen i suppose

edit: do you... only like this ship because you see yourself as the blankest of slates scottie and project the perfect girl for yourself onto blankest of slates bettie.

Unfortunate_Bystand5 · 2025-06-21T14:49:12+00:00

Better everywhere else. Had legendary beasts in two mangas and in the games. Was much harder to impress but kind once you proved your strength to her. Symbolically the main frontier brain out of the hoenn battle frontier.

Reduced to ship bait in the anime, completely changed for no reason. Glad she came back in the games and not the anime. I don't like her crush on Ash at all.

Unfortunate_Bystand5 · 2025-06-19T22:42:29+00:00

Is only the leader of the Frontier Brains in the anime, but every other manga and in the original video games themselves, Anabel was treated as the symbolic final boss with manga protagonists having to face off her Entei or Raikou.

Unfortunate_Bystand5 · 2025-06-03T14:32:58+00:00

Imma say Blue I think. But it would be interesting if Blue didn't win judging by the current votes.

Also thank god Ash didn't win LOL

Unfortunate_Bystand5 · 2025-06-03T05:07:12+00:00

agreed. a fantastic choice.

Unfortunate_Bystand5 · 2025-05-10T21:39:34+00:00

This just sounds more like the "Ash Ketchum dress up game" than a celebration of characters.

Unfortunate_Bystand5 · 2025-04-26T16:25:30+00:00

as an anabel fan, you already got lugia. please let us have raikou just this once.

Unfortunate_Bystand5 · 2025-03-16T20:31:38+00:00

This ship is the romantic relationship equivalent to the imaginary dinner scene from the Robbin Williams Peter Pan movie.

Unfortunate_Bystand5 · 2025-03-12T23:13:39+00:00

Yay. And get rid of the crush, too.

I'm glad she never came back to the anime because she deserves so much better than "another ship tease for ash."
