Thank you for your compliment... which could remind me of a few potential expansions on my previous reflections, especially my idea of a human Pokémon pairing triumvirate. If it helps, I've been able to find other anime couples that bear striking similarities to the aforementioned cornerstone pairings I currently have, the most notable of which might very well be Nozomu Futami and Kira Sakurazuki from Futakoi. Nozomu is typically calm, idealistic, and thoughtful, perhaps like a combination of Ash and Hamtaro, while Kira is typically cheerful, entrepreneurial, and inquisitive, perhaps like a combination of Dawn and Bijou. If such a series sounds relatively obscure compared to the others, well, you can thank my overarching defense of freedom and peace for the current course of my anime interests.
