The Kansai accent has always been used as an indicative of Johto natives in the Japanese version. Other characters who share this trait are Bill, Bebe, Valerie and Kamado The sole exception for this is Norman who doesn't have an accent besides being from Olivine city

[@gameb9oy]

Maybe he’s not from there but the hoenn mom and the hoenn protagonist are?

[@KosmoZer0]

I'm actually very happy Rika is getting some representation in Masters EX. I really love her design and personality, very tough exterior but actually very soft personality so much so that she is visibly infuriated with the player character for entering Area Zero and putting themselves in danger. She shows a great level of professionalism but also compassion and kindness but she also carries herself with confidence in her own strengths which is why she is my favourite Elite Four member. Larry is great but I feel like Larry the Gym Leader is better than Larry the Elite Four member simply because he has a passion for normal type Pokémon and that idea is pushed with Larry but in the E4 he is forced to use Flying-Type's instead of Normal-Type's, granted his Staraptor is still on his team as his Ace but it had more of an impact against Larry in the Gym challenge well at least to me. I wonder what everyone else thinks though 🤔

[@magicalgirllaurie]

Larry’s Staraptor is in his E4 team yes, but Flamigo is his ace there, not Staraptor.

[@KosmoZer0]

@@magicalgirllaurie I suppose that is true about his ace but it also just confirms my point even more so about him preferring Normal over Flying-Type's as Flamigo is also a Fighting-Type, the polar opposite and weakness of his preferred type. It makes sense since Geeta forces Larry to use Flying-Type's and I wouldn't be surprised if most of the Pokémon he has on his E4 team are actually loaned to him through the League.

[@RobertLydonReviews]

Rika has my vote. I loved the scene in the DLC when she yelled at the player and her interactions seem genuine. Whitney is a crybaby who doesn’t deserve her title

[@MyNaymIsSnek1526]

clod god

[@mray4784]

Whitney was chosen by the elite four, so yeah, she deserves her title.

[@Lime_light24]

When one of the most loved Pokémon of this generation get paired with nuzlocke ender cow.

[@gioanysgonzalez3396]

Rika is definitely my new favorite Elite 4 member. I love her design is serious looking and cool but her ace is a derpy lovable beanbag. It really has that intimating gangster with a pet Chihuahua kind of feeling.

[@mr.gamewatch6165]

Plot twist: The cutest and most marketable Pokémon is Glimmora

[@ivanzoneBR]

Rika feels like she came from an Studio Trigger anime.

[@Jelly_shy_guy_man]

What’s that

[@ivanzoneBR]

​@@Jelly_shy_guy_manDon't know Studio Trigger? The one who made Kill la Kill (The one with the pogchamp meme girl) and the hit anime Little Witch Academia?

[@SinisterPixel]

You know I never noticed that about the Johto trainer dialect. But I'm also thinking because in PMEX Whitney is the ONLY character from Johto I've seen talk like that consistently. Since the PMEX team had a lot of changes after their first year I'm guessing perhaps the new localizers didn't catch that dialect difference.

[@noireisbest6786]

I've noticed that in a lot of anime English dubs, a generic Southern US accent is frequently used for characters that are supposed to speak in a Kansai dialect to communicate that more "countryside" character trait. Which in the case of Whitney, that's fair although a Wisconsin accent wouldn't be bad either since you know, milk and cheese.

[@DanielPereira-ey9nt]

They usually don't look like the accent in the games as well

[@rocksterphang7985]

I think Clodsire is cuter, but why not both? Both are good. Also I swear Whitney got so much better treatment in Masters with great writing ever since that Holiday 2022 event and for once she doesn't even cry in here even after getting beaten (being mature to intentionally losing to the kids together with Rika). It's also great to see that an unexpected rivalry of Whitney and Rika, but this is the charm Masters will have, aka expanding characters more than the OG game could. Also that Glimmora winning the contest out of nowhere is just so hilarious lmao, just imagine your sweet made with milk and chocolate has a poisonous crystal as the mascot will make you think it's an addictive chocolate-drug lmao Speaking of that, I think this is the first time people in game mentioned how Clodsire looked like a chocolate, since it's a nickname from the fandom and Game Freak only subtlely hinted it with a merch of a Clodsire chocolate mold

[@joopvanhedel1372]

misty always had the potential to become an elite four member. It was even planned originally for gen 2. Rika probably saw the potential in her

[@reuniclus7156]

1:30 In the Spanish translation of the game, Rika speaks using VERY "Spain-Spanish" phrases. Along with Nemona are the most "Spain-Spanish" speakers in the game I would say.

[@NYALLurker]

Glimmora would be a great mascot if the treats were iced gems or cupcakes. Clodsire if they were gummies or chocolates. Miltank if they were milk sweets. Clodsire should have won, going by Lear's description. As for the Kansai dialect based friendship, considering that Rika grew up in the inner city and enrolled in an underfunded school, you could say it's a matter of hick-meets-hood. Doesn't really explain why Rika recognized Whitney's region unless either she was from Johto as well or both Johto and her hometown were known to be like the boonies.

[@ShayTheValiant]

RIKA MY BELOVED

[@BJGvideos]

I was expecting the twist ending to this story being that Lear would decide that Hoopa had to be the mascot. Glimmora is even funnier though. Yeah because when i think milk chocolate I think POISON STONE FLOWER. Also at this point i wouldn't be surprised if they added the professors before they added Arven, and that would require breaking the spacetime continuum to get them there (unless they're both pulled from the timeline from the crystal pool, where they presumably pulled back and didn't descend into paranoia, and were better parents). If they ever add the AIs I will whale like Primal Kyogre. I don't care that they literally can't function outside Area Zero. There's a lot of energy experts in Pasio and I'm sure someone could come up with something.

[@philipmurphy2]

The bad thing about that Pokémon League in Scarlet and Violet is only being able to battle them once

You can rebattle them.... on the dlc sadly....

I don't know why but I like Rika's Masters model way more than her SV one and I don't know why. That aside I really like that they found a similarity between 2 different characters and then had them interact.

[@MazterP28]

Rika is from johto. I wonder if the team would wooper, Donphan, steelix, pupitar, gligar, and piloswine

[@hunterhq295]

Was nice to see so many interactions

I got her on my first multi! Very happy with my luck because I also somehow got Volo first try too

As soon as Rika got into master I got her on my first 10 Scout pull lmao

Still waiting for Arven, Florian and Juliana to be added in to complete the fantastic four gang.

Clodsire. I don't follow the Clodsire supremacy meme culture or whatever, but I do understand where they're coming from. ...I just think it's cute.

hi, GatorEX, if you remember, you have/had a fake bagon card that is on a beach, branded Ninfendo on the bottom, with 110 hp and has really broken English as it's attack, well I have it too! I thought that this would be funny as you said the bagon was "one-of-a-kind" lol

[@JaculaDudek]

Whitney. Despite me hating that cow. I like Miltank though.

[@theamazingspooderman2697]

wait you calling Miltank a cow or Whitney a cow?

Rika no doubt

[@theamazingspooderman2697]

Personally I love Whitney more bcz of reasons I dont wanna specify

I still like how they doubled down how no one really likes Geeta they just have to tolerate her because she's the boss

I think the best term would probably be "regional evolution." That probably best expresses the relations of Pokémon like Clodsire (Perrserker, Sneasler, etc.).

miltank gives us old dudes ptsd 🤣 so, yeah clodsire would be an awesome chocolate mascot 😁 never been a fan of rika though... she's the angry lady that got mad at me for sneaking into area zero (because that's what champions do! 🤣)
