Brendan, May and Wally were supposed to appear in the stories of the Gen 4 games as NPCs to connect them to the previous games directly, but the idea got dropped. We literallly got robbed blind.
if only DPPt wasn’t rushed
>>56693602Game Freak isn't the best at making good decisions
>>56693602sorry anon, only KANTOOOOOOOO gets to have that treatment
>>56693602Only robbed thing here is Brendan wearing blue
>>56693602Why is Brendan blue? To represent Sapphire while May represents Ruby?
>>56693602I wonder if the NPCs that battle with you were all meant to be them, Wally in the forest, Brendan on Iron Island, and May in that random cave under the bridge.
>>56693602>May and Brendan could have been the Red of DPPtMake sense honestly since DPPt happen during GSC/HGSS and ORAS/RSE during RBY/FRLG
>>56693602Cool, but it'd eventually lose its luster if they kept at it.
Between this, the creation myth drafts mentioning the Hoenn trio and even Regigigas existing at all, seems like they really wanted gen 4 to be connected to gen 3.
>>56693602I love May's face in this sketch, I can't even explain why, it's like it's conveying atleast 4 different emotions
>>56693693So...sinnoh was Hoenn backyard?
>>56693728Relationally to the real Japan? No. They are literally opposite ends of Japan.
>>56693669One might say the Luster would get purgedThis post brought to you by the Latios gang
>>56693602>30 fps>slow as hell>botched physical special split>unfinished over the top story >so much missing contentDPPt was unfinished
>>56693639Seems likely, Wally is green/emerald.
>>56693602>>56693725>Surprise >Joy>Arousal >Intrigue >Confusion >Hesitation >Fear
>>56693602Shit, they could have made Brendan or May a superboss akin to Red
>>56693780>this spread of emotionsdid we just walk in on her masturbating or what?
>>56693602Any written info on this or just this lone image leak?
>>56693786That Combusken sure would be scary lmao.
>>56693602They should have at least thrown them in the Battle Tower or something. I hate that Red is the only one to show up again.
>>56693602Inserting Ethan/Gold into RSE wouldn't have made sense given the chronology. Inserting Brendan into DPPt would make sense chronologically, but none of the characters aside from Cynthia has the same appeal as Red. Hence why Red appears over and over and no other player character does.
>>56693796No that's the face she makes when she finds an unexpected handsome young boy touching all her stuff in her room.
>>56693847I feel likes that's bullshit, it doesn't have the normie appeal but if you put Gen 2 or Gen 3 protagonists in day Gen 10 people would still absolutely lose their shit over it.
>>56693847You can blame it on just being audience pandering as much as you want, it's very clear that Game Freak has an internal Gen 1 bias themselves.
>>56693847Red on Mt Silver was a one time only thing just like going back to an old region in the postgame. If they kept doing it, it would've lost its impact and gotten stale really fast.
>>56693602Is that why May showed up in the DP anime?
>>56693602I hate Wally.
when are they going to bring lillie back as an NPCthey are going to do it thats why they retconned USUM but when
>>56693728Hinnos = Hoenn
>>56693602ROBBED NOOOOOOOIn all seriousness I would've loved this.
>>56693948>Gen 2 or Gen 3 protagonists in Gen 10They would be in there mid 30s
>>56694006DP for both May and Dawn
>>56693693Gen 3 was connected to Gen 4 a lot. This would've taken it a step further too, but it makes sense. It's another game in Masuda'a ore series and to to that point sequels were an established thing, like GSC to RBY
>>56693640This would have been so fucking kino...
>>56693602nothe artist just wanted to draw them
>>56694035And?
Resembles the TFG Brendan, but I really doubt that those are anything more than placeholder graphics. You would need to find actual early documentation mentioning them. We've seen an actual 3D model of Hilda in XY, but that doesn't mean she was ever intended to be in the final product, she was a placeholder. These headshots are VS close-up placeholders.>>56693948If Gen 10 really is a world tour and celebration of Pokémon's history, I could see them including the formee protagonists.
>>56694085Red came in 4 version in that game right. Pokémon Duel on the smartphones continued it.
>>56694035>they have to make video game timelines scale with real lifeYou are a retard.
>>56694070And this is the worst incarnation of Red.
>>56694123I hate adopting that dumb fanon stuff with him being mute in those games and Masters.
>>56694130he's not mute in mastersJust autistic
>>56693639Zoomers have no idea about this, but at the time May's red costume and her character in general was like 100 times more iconic at the time than whatever Brendan had. Guess why.
>>56693602More HGGS Beta VS sprites.Man it could have been pretty cute to see a cameo of May taking her two friends to her old home in Johto or something.
>>56693637>Protagonists wear Red in Ruby/Sapphire>Protagonists wear Green in EmeraldBluebros...
>>56694299Because>Red is treated as the protagonist color in Japan>They didn't need Brendan for the anime since they were reusing Ash, but Misty was old hat so May proceeded to remind everyone she existed on a weekly basis for the next 4 yearsThe anime is an advertisement. Imagine someone who only played the games but never learned the anime existed. They would be so confused as to way Misty, May, Dawn, Iris, and Serena have so much online presence.
>>56694662This
>>56694322Whitney, Jasmine and Gary look fucking hilarious.
>>56693602they stole from us...
>>56694662>tfw no anime about Brendan, May and Wally traveling the region>Could've even been pottery since Wally was the Mossdeep Gym Leader at one point in development
>>56693602I thought that was in HGSS’s files
>>56695829Unfortunately we'd probably still be saddled with Max even if Brendan was the protagonist
>>56695950I feel like Wally could cover Max's niche (since Wally would comparatively be greener to Pokemon and depending on when he'd join, he'd have only Ralts for a while), though I guess Max would be there if only to add a fourth character instead of doing Kanto & Johto's "three travelers" dynamic.
>>56693602>Fanfic
>>56693602SOVL
Did someone save t-posing May?
>>56693639>Why is Brendan blue?Because he's player 2!
>>56694299>guess whyThe anime where she had dozens of hours of advertisement? Ash slotted into Brendan’s place.>>56694662Yeah, this pretty much.
>>56693602>>56694322kino alert
>>56693614They weren't. Hoenn and Sinnoh aren:t connected like Johto and Kanto.
>>56694299>more iconiclol, no. only retarded pedo coomers who NEVER plated the game think this. kys, tourist
>>56693640This would make sense colour wise, but I can't believe Wally got replaced by a milf.
>>56693602I love mai
>>56693602Why is Wally so fucking sad? is he just meant to be like that?
>>56693602Any drawanons want to try making finished versions of these expressions? would appreciate it.
>>56693614>longest development cycle out of any pokemon game>rushed
>>56693786in a perfect world pokemon would have started a trope of making the protag from as previous gen be a superboss of the next gen to theirs
Literally what proof is there that they were meant to show up in gen 4?
>>56693766You just described every pokemon game
>>56698781not a drawfag but gave the may a try for fun in mspaint.expression doesnt really fit her but oh well
>>56699110wow that is just absolutely cursed, still thank you for this anon
>>56694662>Imagine someone who only played the games but never learned the anime existed. They would be so confused as to way Misty, May, Dawn, Iris, and Serena have so much online presence.kek this is me
>>56693797Just the image and even then nobody else has found them in the leaked files afaik
>>56693602need proof
>>56694085Dude where is this from??? I need it
>>56693602That's good, we don't need the best generation to be tainted with stuff from the worst generation.
>>56694012I hate you!
>>56698348>>56698348I got into Pokemon with Emerald and Firered, chudYes, May is iconic whether you like it or not
>>56699110I love this
>>56701428And you really believe this?? Haha
>>56701209Pokémon Trading Figure Game, which was continued by Pokemon Duel.https://pokemon.fandom.com/wiki/Pokémon_Trading_Figure_Gamehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pokémon_Trading_Figure_Gamehttps://pokemon.fandom.com/wiki/Pokémon_Duelhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pokémon_Duel
>>56699110she wants your dick
Does ya'll remember hgss had kyogre, groundon, and stephen i be thinking that or remebered it
>>56695829It would've been a nice change from Ash if Brendan was allowed to be competent.>>56702262Yeah. You also got the orbs in HGSS. I think Steven gave you a starter and was part of a Lat@s event as well.
>>56693602This pic is fanart, though.Only the Kanto and Johto GLs and E4 are real.
>>56699110Oh these? My Pokeballs??
>>56702839I saw a pic with OP’s sprites mixed in with the HGSS leaders.
>>56703174Because some misinforming faggot made that.
>>56703164jesus its the same expression kek
>POV: You just asked them to have sex with you
>>56698545Milf doesn't mean woman who's not a loli, she has to actually be a mother.
>>56703803I want her to be my mother
>>56703777>Brendan is creeped out>May is really into it>Wally is about to cry from the disgust
>>56693640They would have to be huge jobbers to fill those roles, it's more believable the Claydol guy in the postgame could've been one though
>>56704339>>56693640Wally as Cheryl could've been believable if he brought strong Pokemon that only healed and buffed yours, as I would say that's kinda in line with his character. I wanna say May getting lost in a cave doesn't make sense but maybe that depends on what personality that want to give her (rival, champion, anime). Brendan helping you through Iron Cave as a mysterious stranger who gives you the riolu egg would be cool, but probably not in line with any lore. There's also Marley too.
>>56693728Sinnoh and Hoenn along with their real life counterparts are joined in spirit when it comes to telling Tokyo based Yakuza and diehard Yamato nationalists with ties to the military to go suck it.They brag IRL about taking slickbacks Bear hunting or Sharl fishing only for them to never return. The local authorities are in on it since the general Tokyo area depends on their food produce and the guys from Kyoto are sick of Tokyo politics too.Basically IRL and likely in the pokeworld everyone gangs up on Kanto for being autistic.Anime Brock was a joke about lead poisoning in the area, enviromentalism and a subliminal message against harassment that flew over Kanto prick heads.
