super alternate happy universe where team rocket does not exist.

giovanni is the viridian city gym leader and you fight him last because he sees your potential as a trainer and wants to fight you when you have built up your strength

silver is his kid who's also an aspiring trainer and he proudly hands out the badges in his dad's gym. however his father is skeptical about him becoming a trainer

in the gen 2 games, he finally gets to be a trainer and is so excited :']

So, all the wikis and summaries I've seen describe Giovanni as "abandoning" his son Silver in HGSS, but I just rewatched the event to refresh myself, and it really doesn't read like that to me.

Silver clearly looked up to his father, who is in crisis due to his failure and the defeat of his organization, and he's saying he needs to figure out how to get stronger and put the pieces back together. And his son literally berates him and calls him weak.

Giovanni is not even rough with him, he tells him he'll understand one day, and Silver literally runs off screaming and crying that he'll get stronger all by himself.

I think it's just as easy to read this as Silver running away as much as it is to read it as Giovanni abandoning him. We don't have any of the context surrounding the event. We don't know if Giovanni brought Silver there to ask him to go with him, we don't know if Giovanni was planning to leave before Silver's outburst. We don't know what happened afterward.

All we get canonically is the snapshot of how their relationship dissolved. Silver looked up to his father and put him on a pedestal, and that idolization was destroyed and Silver became bitter toward his father.

My personal headcanon is that Giovanni was either planning to bring Silver with him when he left, or to tell him he was leaving for a while and put him in the care of his mother. But Silver freaked out and ran away after that/soon after that.

(I say this not to attack Silver, I love Silver and I think it's badass that he ran away to become his own man. But I just think the situation is more nuanced than just 'Giovanni abandoned his son'.

#YES #ok so. I think it was in a turtlebro video or something but #there was some character concepts for rainbow rocket giovanni in usum #(leaked in the gigaleak)#and basically one of his cited motivations was “for his son's happiness”#that man would literally die for his son #i mean there's a literal scene where he engulfs himself in flames to save silver's life in the manga #obviously it was a very different story in the manga #but i firmly believe it was not the writers intention to portray gio as unloving or cruel #pokemon #silver pokemon #giovanni pokemon

#SHE SO WHIMSICAL

selkiecremie

people seem to talk a lot of shit about jacinthe. You guys realize she's an antagonist, right? She's a spoiled rich girl who thinks she's entitled to anything she wants? She's not supposed to be sympathetic? She actually does prioritize saving the city, she just insists that you come by after you're done... misogyny and racism is crazy cuz why do people hate Jacinthe, Canari, and Naveen but shower Corbeau, AZ, and fuckin LYSANDRE with praise. Crazy work.

tok1wanosakaki

YES FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT I totally felt like Jacinthe, Canari, and Naveen being the most hated had some kind of racist undertone to it.

As a person of color I am so happy Pokemon is introducing such great POC characters with unique personalities.

My Flare bias and them being pariahs who want to try to bring Flare back to its more charitable roots and clear their own names, as well as never getting proper closure with the man that ruined their lives (since the Lysandre from back then is effectively dead) makes Grisham and Griselle really appeal to me, and I like their dynamic a bunch, but it's definitely close with Corbeau being as proactive as he is, especially with the DLC.
