[@TheMbmdcrew]

I think the reason why Ogerpon is a female-only species is because she’s based not only on the ogre in Momotaro, but also on the _Hannya_ mask. It’s a common mask in traditional Japanese theatre that depicts an oni baring its teeth. And it’s worn exclusively by women and usually used to represent a lady reaching her breaking point and becoming a monster. In addition, the eyes of the _hannya_ mask are designed to look sad, to show that despite her terrifying appearance, she’s lonely and sorrowful inside, and never wanted to be seen as a monster- just like Ogerpon. And to top it off, all of Ogerpon’s masks are based on the various masks that are worn in traditional Japanese theater.

Ogerpon is, by far, one of my favorite Pokémon. And this OST tells you everything about her. She's fierce, she's serene, she's unwavering, but most of all... She is the most loyal Pokémon in Kitagami. She never forgot about her friend and the memories they shared, without those masks she loses a part of herself. But now, she's living on, finally able to mingle with the people of Kitagami. Like the game says... "Memories of an old partner grants Ogerpon strength."

[@lightyoshiman]

feel like that's supposed to be the plot twist when we first arrived we're told she's this ugly scary monster who'll steal your soul away if you don't have a mask, then we encounter her during the festival and because she's so happy and cheerful we mistake her for a child only to see she's actually a pokemon and is quite friendly (and timid without her mask on) still makes me question the villagers reaction to her without her mask on in the past making her look like some deformed creature when she's extremally adorable (one of the local girls even say's she's cute when the village finally learns the truth)

[@zossieurs]

I thought Ogerpon was kinda ugly before its face reveal, but when her mask fell off the stairs, that's when I knew I was wrong about her.

[@owengonzalez6819]

One of my favorite parts of this battle is the order Ogerpon dons the Masks, as they tell Ogerpon’s story: She leads with the Hearthflame Mask, an embodiment of her rage and fury towards the Loyal Three for stealing the treasures of her and her friend, and this rage could also extend to the village for rejecting them. The Wellspring Mask embodies Ogerpon’s grief and sorrow of the loss of her friend and crippling loneliness due to being framed as the villain of a story she suffered so much pain. Her isolation led on for centuries until the player arrives in Kitakami. The Cornerstone Mask embodies Ogerpon’s revived determination and willpower to retrieve the stolen Masks from those who wronged her, and to hopefully right those wrongs. Finally, The Teal Mask embodies the conclusion of Ogerpon’s solitude. She has spent years alone, melancholy and hopeless of any bright future for herself, and we come along to bring her sorrow to its tardy end. The Mask is Ogerpon: She’s finally ready to re-insert herself into the happiness she’s been starved for centuries. The Mask expresses a hopeful, exhilarated smile of sorrow: leaving one life behind, but starting anew in another…

[@bravewater5737]

That is beautifully deep.

[@thehermit8618]

Teal Mask is the mask she had when she sneaked into the village with her first companion as well as the one Carmine and Kieran's grandpa restored. It may be symbolical to the journey ending where it began: with the teal mask

As a whole, gen 9 has arguably handled *acquiring* legendary Pokémon the best in the series. Koraidon/Miraidon and Ogerpon being the story reward legendaries (With the AI’s “Raidon” being an extra bonus), but you organically spend alot of time with them through the story and build a bond with them so it feels like you’re not just earning the strength of a super strong Pokémon but also a friend. Ogerpon even has a four phase boss fight in order to catch her, with anime memory power ups between phases for added story telling. The Treasures of Ruin take advantage of the open world to send you on a scavenger hunt to break their seals, and even after finding the stakes, you might still need to find the seal itself, plus they have a tie to a character (Raifort) which is always appreciated. And the Lousy Three had surprisingly tough titan battles during the story, now why couldn’t the main game titans get stat boosts? Also, Ogerpon is adorable. I named her Ai because she has Oshi No Ko eyes.

Ogerpon is quite possibly the most precious soul I've ever come across...

Now finally able to let her true colors shine again because she met someone who she could have a clean slate with. And she never gives up on anything, as shown in this last battle, always finding a strong reason to continue fighting.

[@deusxesper]

Honestly, Ogerpon might be the best Legendary Pokémon and Pokémon story to this day. It builds up everything slowly with the board information, letting you focus on your growing friendship with a new friend who wants to better understand the Ogre, which in turn could help him understand himself. Then we discover the truth of Ogerpon. The crippling sadness and lonely life she's been living for centuries because of other people's misunderstanding and other Pokémon's greed over what they want but shouldn't have. Then we get to travel with her, help her recover the parts of herself that made her the Legendary Pokémon that she is. Through it all, we grow as a character, as does Kieran and Carmine. We see Carmine's softer side and Kieran's more rough side. His desire to train Ogerpon isn't just a shoehorn. We understand his desperation and desire to become her new Trainer, since we saw it grow throughout Kitakami. But he has it taken away because we have a better understanding of battling. After beating him for the final time, he recognises that she needs someone as strong as her to be her new trainer. Turning to her, she stands ready... And then the music kicks in against her. Fun to start, almost chirpy, until the more intense guitar and drums kick in. And you rememebr that this isn't a weak little child. This is a Legendary Pokémon who, even when at a disadvantage, beat three other Legendary Pokémon singlehandedly. Plus I get huge Mustard vibes from her theme which is always welcome. Favourite Pokémon of all time and probably always will be 🥰

To be fair, they were thieves, displaying all the loyalty you'd expect from thugs when the odds turned against them, while Ogerpon showed who she really was. It proves beyond any doubt that the Lousy Three never deserved to be called 'loyal.'

[@neihljohnpansit313]

Poor Ogerpon. Shunned by the villagers alongside her companion. Her companion and the mask maker have always been there for her. Until she finds her den home in ruins, three of the masks stolen, and her companion gone. She wanted justice for her companion, so she payback the "Loyal" Three for what they did to her home and her friend and for stealing the masks. Only to be regarded as the villainous ogre in the Kitakami folklore.

[@fiercedeitymidna5781]

I don't know if anyone else thought this, but I consider Ogerpon the Pokemon version of Meta Knight. -Both wear a scary looking mask. -Both are adorable underneath their masks. -Both are powerful fighters. -Both run away after their face reveal. (Meta Knight ALWAYS does this after you defeat him) -Meta Knight has multiple swords (4 in Epic Yarn and 2 in Forgotten Land), while Ogerpon has multiple masks (Hearthflame, Wellspring, Cornerstone, and Teal).

[@jellycore1316]

[@ziqi92]

Ogrepon chose us, the protagonist, because she was also originally from a foreign land, and thus saw us more like her original partner and wanted to travel again. Kieran, on the other hand, is a descendant of the maskmaker, and so Ogerpon saw Kieran just as she saw the maskmaker: the local friend.

Not to mention the story

[@raiz0r_ip]

Let's be honest. Ogerpon is very adorable.

[@TheSebliterator]

I don't know if anyone has noticed but the masks represent the very emotions Ogerpon felt throughout her whole ordeal that lead up to this point: Wellspring Mask: Sadness and Pain, Grief and Sorrow. Her trainer being robbed and killed, her revenge mission successful, but she felt completely empty. Cornerstone Mask: Inner Loneliness and perhaps signifying "putting up walls to mask her pain" so to speak. Hearthflame Mask: The intense rage, hatred and fury, the burning desire for vengeance against the bastards who murdered her beloved trainer. Teal Mask: The joy and happiness she felt when she was together with her trainer, and the satisfaction of killing the punks who crossed her. But Ogerpon would not truly find closure until she met a new trainer who would love her for who she was deep down.

[@hayleyhughes40]

Such a sweet little creature! Kicked three bullies' ass, dealt with the trauma of losing a dear partner and still reaches out to the player character... Baby girl, baby! (That fight was amazing and I will love her forever!)

And then the LOUSY three decides to break in to their house and steal their masks while killing her friend. She did finally kill them but the villagers were horrified of the angry ogre so she went back to the mountain for many many years of loneliness, only enjoying the festivals in secret and with her mask on.

Ever stop and wonder just how horrific and dark Ogerpon's story really is? The legend painted her as a monster who fought with three guardians who gave their lives to drive her off. The truth is much worse. The three "guardians" were thieves, and went after Ogerpon's trainer to steal the masks. He refused to give them to the three, and so they killed him. Like... straight up killed the guy. Ogerpon, grief stricken, goes looking for revenge and kills them before living a life in seclusion for an undetermined amount of time until she finds something she didn't expect... Another trainer from Paldea, just like her old friend.

[@ImFangzBro]

This fight reminded me of OoT Link- specifically as he appears in Majora's Mask. Ogerpon's a child dressed in green, who uses a set of four masks to adjust to different situations. Up to and including the fact that Fierce Deity Link is called "Oni Link" in Japan, and Ogerpon is based on oni. Heck, her masks have rough analogues to Link's- Hearthflame: Goron Link. Goron Link has firey punches, and dishes out the most pain. The Hearthflame mask turns Ogerpon Fire type, and boosts Attack. Wellspring: Zora Link. Not only are they both Water aspected, but Zora Link has the most "supernatural" type of shield- an electric barrier, and the Wellspring mask raises Sp. Def. Cornerstone: Deku Link. A bit of an odd one, but Deku Link is not just earth elemental- his shield blocks attacks from every direction, befitting the Cornerstone mask's Def boost. Furthermore, it's the only form that has a means of taking down flying enemies from further away than the boomerang. without requiring arrows- the bubbles. So Deku Link is effective against flying enemies, like how Rock beats Flying. Original: Fierce Deity Link. Fierce Deity Link can shred through foes with great speed, and is the form that most closely resembles Link's original form. The Original mask boosts Ogerpon's Speed, and is the mask that most closely resembles her own face.

[@kag2576]

I don't know what it is with Gen 9 and having designs that you look at and think 'this is literal perfection, I instantly love this'. Between this and Tinkaton the gen 9 pokedex might be one of my favourites. And Ogerpon's entire story is so tragic. Losing her friend because of some greedy bastards who become idols, being hated from virtually day one because they were simply from elsewhere. It felt so good having her follow us around as we beat up the Loyal Three. And the fight for you to catch her is so fun, switching between the masks as she reflects on her life and memories brings a tear to the eye. Its far from the hardest fight but its one of those that just makes you feel good. The theme reflects this atmosphere perfectly, that guitar screams of a triumphant warrior overcoming years of hardship to test your strength in a fair one on one battle. I especially appreciate when the them takes a breath (1:06) reflecting the contemplative thoughts of this legendary between phases before switching masks and taking you on once more.
