(So sorry to @ you here, but I did some more digging around and I’d like to show you what I’ve found haha ;w;)

In relation to this post about how the age of Anville town’s old train could correspond to the age of the Battle Subway, I decided to do a side-by-side comparison of the trains in question.

I screenshotted a closeup of what I’m dubbing as “The Old Train” and the actual 3D model of Pastoria City’s train from Pokemon DPPt (taken from the models resource). 

They don’t really look at all too similar, so I’m wondering if maybe they were different model of trains? (I’d go so far as to say that the Old Train looks more like the wooden train cars that were mentioned in the post, while the Safari Zone train is similar to the Redbird trains)

Also, I did some more digging on Bulbapedia’s transportation page and it seems that the Battle Subway and Gear Station are used interchangeably over here 

which could imply that the “Battle Subway” could also perhaps be just a local nickname for Gear Station? I’m not entirely sure, to be honest. 

We still have that bit where the founder of the Battle Subway is described in the singular, and the fact alone is enough to make me question who actually founded the Battle Subway. 

(Though, I do think it’s worthy to note that Pokemon Masters also does something like this as well, with Nate referring to the Submas in the singular despite them concurrently being the Subway bosses. I took this screenshot rather recently but I know this specific dialogue was implemented quite awhile before the submas made their pokemon masters debut

So, this is a little bit weird. Just a bit.)

Conclusion: Did I drive off to a destination before my train was ready to head out? Possibly. 

This all really comes down to the specific wording that the games give us, and you could argue to hell and back about the right way to interpret them.

Personally though, I think it’s fun to imagine having incredibly destructive battles on those poor little old trains. This is Unova, after all. Anything can happen.

What is the best new Pokemon in Gen IV and why is it Wo-Chien

Personally I haven't been too excited for most of the Gen 9 Pokémon, but I saw Wo-Chien at McDonald's, putting the carton of fries on top of its head and hovering out so that was kind of cool.

I just want you to know that I saw the preorders opened for the Goro Nendoroid this morning and I thought of you.

Thank you so much! That’s very sweet of you! ♥️♥️ I ordered mine first thing this morning!

I obviously have to say Ingo here, and I'll toss in Arezu for good measure, but I'm going to also throw in some Zeld - I think Sidon would be fun.

Also I am submitting The Egg (not the Jerma character, the one in Age of Calamity).

Ingo Three things I have in common:

The Chandelure line is one of my favorites

I often get misinterpreted by people who aren't close to me for things like not smiling constantly (people are allowed to have a neutral face when there's nothing to react to!)

Tired

Three things I don't:

I don't like to be formal

So far to me, a job is just a job

And a train is just a train

Arezu

Three things I have in common:

I can relate to being torn between what you think you're supposed to do and what you want to do (like she was conflicted about working at the salon due to also being Liligant's warden)

I cut my own bangs between haircuts

I don't like asking for help

Three things I don't:

Hats do go with the modern bob cut. I could understand hats not going with some of the updo's...except Arezu will let you keep the hat on after getting at least one of them. What the heck.

I'd allow people to dye their hair green. I'm not sure why PLA doesn't have green available as an option. I know several of the colors directly reference certain characters from Sinnoh (and their ancestors) but we do have two with green hair!

I’m not willing to relocate for a job

Sidon

(this is based off BotW as I’ve just started Age of Calamity)

Three things I have in common:

I don’t like being caught in moments of weakness (Sidon apologizes when Link catches him talking to the statue of Mipha).

I was a child/came of age around the time of some world-altering events

Depending, I think a lot about what could have been (Sidon later realizes Link could have been his brother-in-law, had Mipha survived).

Three things I don’t:

Sidon is huge, not just compared to Link, but also for a Zora. I am not.

I’m not an optimist. I’m not a pessimist either but if the outlook isn’t so good, I’m not really optimistic about it.

I can’t smile that huge. I’d be afraid I’d pop my jaw.

Terrako

I just started Age of Calamity so I don’t know much about Terrako and I don’t want to spoil it. I’m going to put one thing each based just Googling the character and reading one thing.

Something I have in common:

Terrako provided comfort to Zelda after her mother died. I’ve been providing reassurance and comfort online and offline lately in the wake of Pokemon Legends: Arceus, what they did with Ingo, and the lack of confirmed information about him.

Something I don’t:

Terrako seems to be constantly running around Link. I would not want to be that close to danger or risk getting in the way.

For the asks - Lonely, Naughty, Impish, Timid, Sassy

From this ask meme

Lonely- Favorite song in a pokemon game?

This one is really hard. I’d have a better time narrowing it down to favorite from each region, but then it also depends on my mood. I used to have a playlist of all my favorite songs from each region but many were taken down due to copyright strikes.

Naughty- If you had to choose, which villainous team would you be on?

Team Yell. They’re not really villains, and they don’t do anything that’s really illegal, more so just annoying. They just got carried away with cheering on Marnie. I could also fit right in with the aesthetic.

(Though I would love to hang out with anime Team Rocket, that is Jessie, James and Meowth)

Impish- Which pokemon do you dislike the design of?

I’m not really a fan of Sawk and Throh and a lot of other ones that are uncanny valley/too humanlike, but Enamorus is just…no thank you. That line already was unappealing, Enamorus might just be the worst one.

Timid- Your favorite pokeball?

Moon Balls and Heal Balls. Usually Moon Balls are not available or super hard to come by so I try to use Heal Balls (unless it’s something difficult to catch or I think another ball would look better).

Sassy- What would be your favorite pokemon food?

I’m assuming this is the kind that humans can also eat? Although…is there any food humans can’t eat in this series? Anyway, definitely curry.

If you want help getting into library work I'm more than happy to assist!

Ah! I should have worded my answer more clearly. I already work as a librarian, but I’m kind of at the bottom of the pecking order right now. My dream job would be to work as a librarian at a major research university (I’m talking the big flagship institutions I would be working to advance my career further if not for the shutdown. 

But thanks for the offer! I appreciate it! <3
