You know what would be hilarious, if the Pokémon scarlet and Violet manga went with Violet x Carmine. Also, call me shiptrash, but I think they might just be angling for Scarlet x Nemona.
Never thought about it, but Violet and Carmine interacting with be a riot.
The second Carmine starts yelling at him ("YOU'RE ONE OF THOSE TOURISTS, AREN'T YOU?!"), Violet's gonna cry in response. Carmine will have no idea how to react to that since most of the people around her know how to deal with her. She'd get flustered and try to get him to stop, and thankfully Violet would immediately do so and not hold it against her. So what starts out looking like a train wreck will slowly evolve into something friendlier in which Violet will be the first person Carmen will consciously try not to yell at and Violet will learn to have more tact and respect (because he totally would be one of those tourists).
Basically the opposite direction I imagine a Scarlet and Kieran relationship would go, lol.
And oh yeah, honestly kinda hard not to see a push towards Scarlet/Nemona, one-sided as it may currently be. Nemona's straight up fantasizing that a perpetual frowner is smiling at her, girl's crushing hard.
