People had said most of what I would've said about the game in the comments, so I'll go with a nice detail for those of us that live in Spain. Have you seen those mail boxes in the game? The yellow cilinders that are in some cities in Violet? They are EXACTLY the same as those in Spain. They didn't need to do that, if they weren't we wouldn't have missed them, but they added them. And all people I know have reacted the same, with glee, watching that little detail that we didn't expect to find. By the way, there are a lot of pokemon that are designed from spanish things. To give a few examples: - The last evolution of Quaxly? A carnaval dancer from the Canarian Islands. - Greavard and Houndstone? They reference the Santa Compaña, a myth from Galicia. - Smoliv and Lechonk are easy, the olives and iberic pigs. - Charcadet and its evolutions? I'm pretty sure they are a reference to El Cid Campeador, specially Ceruledge (the Violet evolution), whose myth says that he had two swords whose names are related to fire, and he won his last battle against the moors when he was already dead, as they put him in his horse and the sole sight of him (well, his corpse, but the moors didn't know it in the myth) made them surrender - And of course, Miraidon, who is based on the Cuelebre, a spanish myth (basically a big lizard related to thunderbolts that protected treasures, an electric dragon, if you will). Also bikes. In Spain there is a big culture around bikes, and we've had big world champions in bike races through history (Angel Nieto, Marc Marquez, Jorge Lorenzo... some of the best bike pilots in history, alongside people like Doohan or Rossi), and several active circuits (Spain is the only country with FOUR motoGP races, the other 15 are distributed through 15 countries) I did miss a new horse pokemon, spanish horses ARE famous, after all, so a new one or a regional variant would had been nice, and maybe something related to swords (Toledo's swords are famed to be among the best made swords in history), like a regional Aegislash, although to be fair, the new pseudo is somewhat related to swords, so, to be fair, I can't complain too much, but I would have loved a regional Aegislash xD

[@dianacarolinaorozco1702]

Also the bocatas the bocatas as the food for the picnic is a masterpiece because it’s big culture to eat these weird sandwich made of very specifics bread and sometimes someone just ate one as any type of food as a lunch as a dish as a snack just they are legal for anytime of the day to eat and nobody will tell you a thing like is happens when you ate I don’t know ice cream as a second dish ?

These little details are actually why I love the series so much. They pay a lot of attention to this stuff (I first noticed it in Sun/Moon with the adressing of people, but it has been around since Red and Blue days interestingly enough). That's why I would love to see so many countries be represented in the Pokémon world as well. Charcadet as a nod to El Cid is pretty intersting, too. I knew the myth, but I didn't see the connection. And you're right about the horses, but they probably steered away from that due to Galarian Ponyta just the generation before. They did get enough backlash because of Meowth *lol*

If 'full power' means punking out some level 4 houndour, not being able to fight a houndoom despite being level 65, and collapsing immediately, then sure. It could probably go into this half assed 'can't actually battle mode', before the sandwich and after this bit, it just learned, here, that it was too weak. So it didn't bother trying. It also didn't bother trying after 5 meals either, till it had to at the crater, despite being healed, because it didn't think it could...

"Arven is the most traumatized character in pokemon" *Lille staring from the corner*

[@gasterthemaster6490]

Atleast Lusamine wasn't dead.

[@jeremymullens7167]

Your mother becoming unhinged after your father disappeared, then trying to murder you is more traumatizing than your parents dying in what is essentially a lab accident. The real tragedy for Arven is Pokémon characters don’t have real families so his uncle or grandma couldn’t care for him.

[@yorukage5926]

Lillie and Arven are two different types of trauma. Arven actually tries to help himself and dive into discovering the root of it and gets help from his friends. Lillie is a giant coward who didn't do shit until she had the protagonist be her human shield to do everything for her

[@sarahsander785]

Not only Lillie, but Gladion, too. And probably Guzma as well. Not to forget Hop. They all have diffrent roots and kinds of trauma, but I wouldn't state one of them is less traumatized than the others. I would even go as far as to include all of Team Star in this list, too. With Arven they just made it the most clear, while by all of the others it sits a bit between the lines, blurred between the story and their very diffrent coping mechanisms. And while I can relate with Arven and Penny the most I think Hop has it the hardest, having to live up to his brother while seemingly being ignored by most of his family. He is so caught up in his brothers shadow that Bede shatters him and he still doesn't get to see another way but copying Leon. Until he sees Leon fail he didn't seem to know that another sort of life was possible for anyone. Poor guy never even tried to be diffrent, probably because Leon was the only one in his family actually caring for him. And Guzma was failed by his own ambitions. It's not clear why he aimed so high, but he clearly couldn't cope with the fall.

[@Nova-gh5yr]
