Gladio pokemon smile1/27/2024 Yeah, the mask’s fully off at this point, as he uses Hypnosis on Gladio himself in order to capture Silvady. While the overall organization is indeed the pokemon research center it presents itself as, Elton has been performing some crueler experiments in the backgroundĮlton’s a master of psychic pokemon, boasting a Hypno and an Alakhazam. “You lied about treating Silvady with love and care.” So it seems like we’re basically transposing all the villainy of the game’s Aether Corporation at large to the machinations of Elton John specifically. He’s here to retrieve Type: Null, presumably the official name of Silvady Sorta figured he was just living in a cave somewhere Though it obviously wasn’t intentional, Ash’s generally carefree disposition undoubtedly helped lead to this overall situationĪpparently Gladio lives out of a motel by the highway. We open on Gladio confronting Ash, understandably pissed about this whole situation. Though to be fair, it’d be even more cruel if this episode were titled something like, “Trouble at the Water Park!”, and it was mostly the gang having fun while Lillie sobbed in the background “Lillie and Silvady: Memories Reborn.” Welp, time for suffering. Her shimmering eyes convey a strong sense of fragility and grief, while the linework of her hair feels more carefully voluminous than usual Oof, and this shot of Lillie crying is gorgeous. Some nice, graceful animation for Lillie and Snowball’s slight movements here You can’t have a character arc without continuity, after all It’s actually a neat way to limit the amount of exposition, considering the only continuity that weekly viewers need to keep track of is Lillie’s emotional state. The introduction of Lillie writing in her diary as an episode-opening conceit makes a great deal more sense at this point, now that it’s clear we’re in a Lillie character development arc. Damn you, Japanese children, how dare you enjoy the spoils of timely Pokemon viewing! And they’re commemorating it with… fuck, eight weeks of prize giveaways. Hot damn, apparently this is Pokemon’s one thousandth episode. Let’s settle in for another episode of Sun and Moon! The show is delightful, spending time with its cast is fun even in moments of crisis, and I’m sure Lillie will overcome this trial with her usual can-do spirit. Indeed, it seems the only honorable choice is to keep watching Sun and Moon until all of its characters are happy again.Īlright, you caught me, I’m just fishing for more excuses to watch Sun and Moon. Alola is supposed to be a place of peace and comfort, and I cannot accept abandoning our heroes in their hour of greatest need. C’mon, we can’t stop right there, can we? Lillie’s in jeopardy! After fighting hard to overcome her pokemon phobia, an unexpected confrontation with Silvady has left her as traumatized as ever, and unable even to hug the bundle of light and joy that is Snowball.
