I finally got around to playing this. It's Scarlet and Violet, but more! If that statement feels you with dread: I understand completely. Have you tried This Gym of Mine?

To anyone else who may have played it, I posit the following questions for discussion:

1. Why is Ogerpon so cute?
2. Should somebody warn Blueberry Academy that

   Kieran
   is entering their trenchcoat arc? Maybe we shouldn't go to school tomorrow...
3. How long did it take an intern to make Kitakami's map? 30 minutes? An hour?
4. Why is Ogerpon SO CUTE?
5. Carmine best girl?

I've finished the main storyline for it, I just have two of the three left to catch I believe. My life has kind of been focused around Fae Farm more than Pokemon LOL but when I did play, omg the emotional wringer (':

As far as trenchcoat arc, I wasn't expecting it to go that route lol I was more sus with our chaperone because she gave me sus vibes.

I agree, the chaperone teacher is definitely hiding a skeleton in her closet. Possibly several. If she's allowed into Area Zero I demand we make sure she's not tossing a corpse down there first.

I wasn't looking forward to the next DLC, but now I'm interested to see where things go. Pokemon rivalries haven't had spice for a while now and I'm looking forward to seeing the evolution of Pokemon Sasuke.

Pokemon has dlc?
