Commit To It Ingo. Stay Loyal To Your Childhood Show. - Tumblr Posts

stupid submas headcanon:

all of ingo's hisuian pokemon are named after thomas the tank engine characters. gliscor is thomas, machamp is toby, and so on.

now, ingo doesn't remember where these names came from. when he thinks about it really hard, he vaguely recalls hearing stories of these figures when he was a child. he doesn't remember the contents, but he knows that he loved those stories and looked up to the characters.

he comes to the conclusion that they must be folkloric heroes from his homeland. he was probably raised on legends about them, and these legends inspired him. the pearl clan members who he tells about this agree. that makes sense! they wonder what these stories were about, what feats these heroes accomplished.

...ingo gets back to unova. he addresses gliscor as thomas. emmet hears this. emmet collapses in laughter for a solid five minutes straight.
