GYM LEADERS OF PALDEA

Kevin Conroy on Inside of You podcast with Michael Rosenbaum [ x ]

honestly though larry is so cool in terms of the more foreshadowing side of him

like at first he comes off like just the normal gym leader, whatever. you dont think too much about anything hes up to. then you get to the elite 4 reveal and suddenly… things make sense

he gives you the tm for facade. hes trying so hard to act like just some every day guy and not an elite 4 member by not loudly broadcasting it to the world.

he terastallizes his staraptor into the normal type, despite it already being normal in its normal/flying type. this is obviously to make it a pure normal type, a literal manifestation of his attempt at trying to be discreet about his elite 4 position as the flying type handler.

not only that, but his design reflects this as well with his tie. its harder to see in game, but in the key art its clearly sky blue with a little cloud pattern. the sky is usually associated with flying types, but because its a tie its super subtle and out of the way as a distinguisher. i suppose the button pattern on his suit sleeves could resemble feathers, and the black triangles on the lapels make the bottom pair seem like wings, but these are more loose conclusions for subtle details

like this shit is actually so good because you never think twice about these sorts of things until later in the game.. which is what good foreshadowing is all about. i appreciate this aspect of his character immensely
