Mythical-Moonlight
I just ran, I ran all Night and Day ~
Fascinating thing I was thinking about yesterday.
Some of you may know (or some of you didn't that's fine too) that Gloria is set to get a new Figurine coming. And interesting enough, her chosen Partner is Sobble.
So when they make these Figurines do they just randomly pick a starter to pair up with the female protag?
I ask because May's Figurine paired her with Mudkip despite her usually being associated with Torchic?
And now we have Gloria paired up with Sobble despite her having a Scorbunny in the manga.
But then again, Serena has the Froakie in the Manga, despite having more association with the Fenniken line in the Anime.
Dawn usually gets Piplup everywhere EXCEPT Pokémon Masters. Where she has Turtwig in that game.
Perhaps this means that the Figurine designers, Anime Directiors, Masters Creators and the Manga writers all had different personal interpretations of what Starter they thought matched the girls
So it brings me to my original question.
What Starter does YOUR mind personally associate the Protagonists/Rivals with?
For me personally my mind says:
Female Protags/Rivals:
Leaf with Squirtle (Or Bulbasaur)
Kris with Totodile
Lyra with Chikorita
May with Torchic
Dawn with Piplup
Hilda with Tepig
Bianca with Oshawott
Rosa with Snivy
Serena with Fenniken
Shauna with Chespin
Selena with Rowlet (or Popplio)
Gloria with Sobble
Male Protags/Rivals:
Red with Pikachu (or Charmander or Bulbasaur work too)
Blue with Squirtle (or Eevee or Charmander again)
Ethan with Cyndaquil
Silver with Totodile
Brendan with Treecko
Lucas with Turtwig
Barry with Chimchar
Hilbert with Oshawott
Nate with Emboar
Hugh with Oshawott
Cheren with Snivy
Calem with Froakie
Elios with Litten
Hau with Rowlet
Victor with Grookey
Hop with Scorbunny
