There Were Tears This Chapter. Too Beautiful Too Perfect

there were tears this chapter. too beautiful too perfect

Ok, i'm in love with this manga not only the artstyle is awesome, the worldbuilding and the caracters had me waiting to see more of them. This desing is a mix betwin the desing we already saw in the manga and qifrey desing + a scar from the chapter 67 to make more parallelisms between them.

without "filter" + sketch

The absolute DELIGHT I felt when I saw this was UNPARALLELED you have no idea

And then Sonic's reaction was EVEN BETTER

"Anyone but Big" followed up with the most dramatic "HOW COULD YOU, NINE?!?" Sonic is capable of producing with the animation to match

You can turn Sonic's team into robots to fight against him and he'll be angry, but Big?? DESPAIR. this is the worst possible outcome for him. Big wasn't even a fighter, he's literally just Sonic's homie, too good for this world too pure

Nine's response playing it completely straight and being 100% serious made it even better, like it somehow enhances the absurdity of the whole situation

And finally: Sonic being so completely thrown off by the existence of the Froggy Nuke that he doesn't even try to dodge it

EASILY one of the funniest sequences in the whole show, I love it here

y'know, it's funny, from replaying pokemon scarlet / violet basegame, i'm pretty sure if you're not internet poisoned, then one of the most memorable things about nemona could be that she only battles you half or less of the times that she checks in to help you because she wants it to be perfect and fair for you and really doesn't want to annoy you, to the point it almost seems like she's making excuses NOT to battle you, not that she's a wild dog that's stalking you and will not leave you alone. one of her earliest character establishing moments is looking directly into the camera with puppy dog eyes and apologizing profusely for wanting a rematch because she had fun

she's in the gyms because she's also doing the gyms! she gets really embarrassed that it looks like she's following you around and decides not to battle you to prove she's not! if she is, she's probably following you because geeta asked her to, and clavell literally said she should take you under her wing! she usually gives you advance warning that she's going to be taking you on soon!

in particular, once you're out of the tutorial she talks to and helps you without battling you for the first three badges of her own questline

it's always, like, clavell and geeta being like 'smh get a load of this girl, she needs to back off, who does she think she is, gary oak?' with their body language. the "oops, nemona didn't realize that cutscene didn't heal you" thing the game keeps doing feels kinda forced.

maybe it's just pokemon writing being what it is (i really don't know why they act like she'd use her champion team against your starter, she just picked a starter, what are you talking about. make her look overeager in a way that makes sense with her character or anyone over the age of 5 please) but the way nemona actually is not matching the way everyone talks about her seems to be a thing in universe and out, and i want to remember this rather than fall into a telephone game of what the plot actually was

if anything, I wish she was less afraid to annoy the player, and more present in the game! y'know, appearing in the sidelines during gym battles with the rest of the crowd rather than the text simply saying she was, for example

idk, I wonder if things would be different if the most vocal pokemon "fans" didn't hate characters interacting with them. maybe I want a brock and misty with me the whole game. maybe biri biri and after the rain are the experience I want

acting like the character who puts our enjoyment above her own and is afraid to annoy us still annoyed us is how we get a DLC that never mentions her or the other main characters of the story in 9 months of promotional materials and, maybe someday, a gen 10 with no friends at all.

This took me too long 😭 I wished in the epilogue we got a group photo with everyone…but we didn’t, unless there’s a secret I don’t know about. Anyway enjoy ✨❤️
