My headcanon is that 5 years later they agree to meet back up and try to mend their relationship and they both bring the other a gift and plot twist they got each other Amauras and they just cry and hug it out

I really like Melony not just because of the reasons you're all thinking of, she's also a good mom. She supports Gordie no matter what, even starting a Gordie fan club.

[@The31st]

I would love her to be my mum, I just wish we saw more of her other kids

[@DragonPupil-dm7it]

@@The31st Sane here. I also wish we could battle the gym leaders on the Isle of Armor whenever they visit the island. Plus a smile forms on my face whenever I see Melony anywhere on the Isle of Armor. Wished the gym leaders would also visit the Crown Tundra.

[@The31st]

@@DragonPupil-dm7it it would be so cool if they just saw you and were like "yo let's battle, I want revenge". I think all the games where you can battle trainers again are the best

@@The31st Unless you talk to them first. Making their battles optional and with a stronger team than when you battle them in the Wyndon Stadium.

Gordie is super underrated and needs more love :c

[@The31st]

Well you've found the right place, loads of love comments for Gordie here! Find some like minded ppl in the comments and start a "why we love Gordie" discussion 😂

[@The31st]

Damn that's so sad 🤣

[@hailguardian7379]

2019: I'm glad I got Melony. I'm not a fan of Gordie. 2020: Klara is replaced by Avery. Goddammit Gamefreak. I do like Bea better than Allister but I wanted Zamazenta without trading.

[@The31st]

I feel like they all grew on me making these videos. I guess they gotta spread the best characters out to make you buy both 😂 Also watch out, ppl are obsessed b with Avery and Allister. They're crazy.

[@pikapichupals]

This comment might be late but has anyone noticed how Gordie's shades resembles Frosmoth's eyes? This might just be a reference to his mother's specialty or perhaps indicate a possible past affiliation with the type? Just a nice headcanon of mine that I wanted to share is all.

[@The31st]

I can totally see that. Its lovely to think he'd get them to look like his mum's fav Pokémon

[@christophercordero9352]

We must thank the sweets and Arceus that the sweets went to all the right places so Melony cam be the comfiest -and thickest- gym trainer!

[@The31st]

😂 ice and fire. I would love to see them just hanging out in something like Twilight wings, that would be amazing

[@The31st]

I hope I explained the way their designs are mirror images all enough. If I'd put a mirror line between them you'd see that they are even doing the exact same pose but flipped. It's just a nice little design cue to show outward differences but ultimately high levels of similarity.

[@atotalfiasco4213]

Super useful for fic writing lmao, somehow Gordie just possessed me into planning a multi-chapter fic and I love getting ideas from how other fans see them! My personal headcanon is that their battle decided who got to take over the Circhester Gym

[@The31st]

Damn im happy I could help 😂 when the first chapters done send me a message on Twitter or discord or something, I'd love to read it! I agree that it makes sense that the battle would have been for the gym and then just depending on what reality you lived in Gordie either won or lost that fight.

[@MJ-sy2en]

[@The31st]

Hell yeah they are amazing

[@KayderossKid]

These two mirror each other so much, I love it. There are even points where they have nearly identical dialogue! Gordie takes so much after Melony and probably looks up to her still, but maybe got compared to her so much (competing in a sport where his mom has been VERY successful), he got fed up and went out of his way to not be like her. I really hope we get more details about what's going on with this story, it sounds like there's a lot more to it than just him wanting to train different Pokemon.

[@The31st]

I really wish they were in the same games so we could see them interact. It would be priceless!

[@trainerkai1313]

I think her youngest three kids are triplets

[@The31st]

It's very possible, I just think they're twins cos the 2 in her arms are wearing matching uniforms while the other one is wearing different clothes. They are all boys so that's no reason the 3rd should wear other stuff besides maybe being a year or 2 older... Or being the least favourite triplet.
