>>58810956
what are they looking at

>>58810956
Pokemon adventures really needs an anthology spinoff series. It would bring new life to the series and we can have new adventures with old protagonists

>>58810956
Why are the new chapters coming out so slowly? This should be a weekly thing.

>>58810956
Huh, did the original illustration really not have the Pokemon in it? They add a lot to it, love that Charizard, Venusaur, and Gatr are surveying.

>>58811366
>anthology spinoff series
Would that even work? what story will it even tell?

>>58811366
I feel like a format like this is just asking for blatant favortism, you'd only get spin-offs of the first 3 generations while all the other Dexholders eat rocks

>>58812795
I'm pretty sure there's good stories to be told with Diamond and Pearl, Black and White/2, X and Y, and others

>>58811366
I’m afraid it would devolve into shipping wars.

>>58810956
Rare yellow sighting.

>>58812820
Of course there would be, but because they aren't as popular as the OG generations it's unlikely their stories would be revisited.

>>58806747
Thanks for the answer. I get your point, though I wasn’t arguing that Mudkip has no narrative use. I said that the author prioritized a rigid meta-structure over organic character fit. Ruby has an alright arc of learning not judge judge by appearances but that arc does not require Mudkip specifically IMO. You could run this exact same arc with:
>Torchic learning discipline
>Treecko being too wild or unrefined
Mudkip isn’t uniquely necessary for this theme. It’s just... convenient

Ruby also openly despises Feebas for being ugly and I feel like he doesn't meaningfully grow to love Feebas as Feebas. The story kinda just rewards him with Milotic, one of the most beautiful Pokemon in existence. It just leaves a sort of weird impression on me that Ruby doesn't lean
>ugly things have value
but
>endure ugly things and they'll eventually stop being ugly
Which undermines the Mudkip lesson retroactively. I feel the author should have written more chapters of Ruby learning to appreciate Feebas without Milotic then eventually evolve it. Instead, the story cashes in a beauty jackpot

On a separate note, I noticed the Adventures author is not very good at team building (I'll go into details with that on another post). Ruby has two Water types. But Swampert isn't even his ace, contest star or his aesthetic core... So what is it really doing long-term? Mudkip works fine and does its job but I feel like Torchic/Blaziken would have achieved the same thematic arc while also aligning with contests, aesthetics, long-term team balance and Ruby’s "hidden monster" payoff.

As a team builder, the Adventures author is alright as a symbol-first writer who tolerates mechanical mess and his teams often work despite their composition. As a battle shounen, he doesn't assign clear combat roles or build teams around coverage to minimize redundancy. Stuff like
>Bulbasaur = Red's grounded reliability
>Cyndaquil = Gold's hot-bloodedness
>Milotic = beauty earned through pain
Is OK once or twice IMO. The problem is he does this every arc often at the expense of team cohesion and rarely cleans up the mechanical mess afterward. Symbolism is doing all the work

Red has a team of: Venusaur, Pikachu, Poliwrath, Gyarados, Snorlax and Aerodactyl. Two Water-types, one who contributes nothing. It's not iconic, not especially strong, not thematically rich. It’s there because Poliwhirl is Tajiri's favorite and by the time RGBY was written, Pikachu wasn’t fully locked as the mascot yet. Venusaur is also a mismatch because Red at the beginning was reckless, hot-blooded and instinctive. Venusaur fits a tactician or a strategist, not the kid who runs headfirst into Team Rocket. He's pretty much a stock shounen hero, and Charizard fits his profile more. People scream "overrated", but Charizard is
>aggressive
>emotional
>visually dominant
>a perfect shounen ace
Giving Charizard to Blue is like Agumon to Yamato and Gabumon to Taichi. It just doesn't suit well with Blue's character either

Blue's team looks strong... on paper. But once you think about intent, the whole thing collapses into the same problem most other Adventures team has: cool-looking Pokemon with no coherent philosophy

Charizard does a lot of heavylifting then he has awful Pokemon like Golduck that's aggressively mediocre, Porygon2 a stall/utility Pokemon in a story that doesn't support stall/utility, Machamp that clashes with Blue's personality and Rhyperior who has no syngery with his team. Blue doesn't need that kind of liability. A composed rival should not be fielding a walking "hit me with special attacks" sign. Personally, if I were to rebuild Blue's team, I'd have it be
>Blastoise
Reliable, bulky and consistent. Doesn’t need hype or spectacle, it just wins over time. That fits a calm, long-game thinker far better than Charizard ever did for Blue
>Scizor
The most irritating one cause Adventures gave it a Docile nature, Swarm for ability and worst of all no Bullet Punch, Scizor's bread and butter. Its movesets are Slash, Metal Claw, False Swipe and SteeI Wing. I'd swap it for Adamant, Technician then Bullet Punch, Swords Dance, U-turn and Close Combat. If Adventures is going to pretend it respects mechanics, it doesn't get to half ass them
>Alakazam
Blue's intellect, special offense and a clean contrast to Red's Machamp (I'd get to that)
>Arcanine
Competitive usage aside, Arcanine has always been more reliable than Charizard as a Fire-type. It doesn't need gimmicks to function
>Aerodactyl
The speedster. Pressure to force opponents to spend more energy. It comes in, does its job, leaves
>Umbreon
Defensive anchor. Good for status problems, good for stalling, good for endurance. Direct thematic mirror to Red's Espeon. Also, Gary had one in the anime and his game counterpart used an Eevee at least in Pokemon Yellow

Red's team on the other hand doesn't feel like a shounen protagonist's team. It feels like a museum exhibit of early Pokemon marketing mistakes like him having Poliwrath. If I changed Red's team, I would have it look like
>Charizard
Already explained. Giving Charizard to Blue for a type triangle is game logic overriding narrative logic IMO. It's the Greymon of Pokemon. It's also the hardest and most stubborn one to raise
>Pikachu
Mandatory. It's the mascot, so of course, the first protagonist is going to use it on his team. Just like in HGSS, Pikachu is the fragile speedster who hits fast and hard but goes out first
>Espeon
Thematic contrast to Blue's Umbreon. It reflects Red’s growth from impulsive to disciplined without turning him into a chess grandmaster
>Snorlax
Same as Pikachu, too iconic to not add into Red's team. Great offensive tank and a great source of comic relief. Snorlax works cause Red fights hard, then crashes. It's basically Red if he were a Pokemon
>Lapras
Inspired from his HGSS game team again. Water/Ice is elite coverage and it fits Red's protector side in a way Poliwrath never could
>Machamp
Direct counterpart to Blue's Alakazam and classic brain vs brawn narrative. They are both the last stage of a three-part evolutionary line in Kanto, they reach their final stage by trading, level up at a medium slow rate, and they both have a 75% male gender ratio. Machamp excels at the physical attack while Alakazam excels at special attack stat. Their evolutionary lines are also next to each other in the National Pokédex

So now Red has
>Fire/Flying
>Electric
>Psychic
>Normal
>Water/Ice
>Fighting
And Blue has
>Water
>Bug/Steel
>Psychic
>Fire
>Rock/Flying
>Dark
No overlap bloat. No dead slots. Every Pokémon does something distinct

>>58813579
>>58813626
NTA but these are cool. I don't nescessary agree that the dexholders teams MUST adhere to your criterea, I actually enjoy the soulful janky-ness of Adventures team comps, (most of the time) but I'd be interested to see what changes you'd make to other dexholders teams

Redpill me on X I don't get the hype around him

>>58813672
He’s a like a new red.

>>58813664
I like how the author builds Pokemon as metaphors and uses them as symbols of insecurity, trauma, pride, repression. It just bothers me in an autistic way cause there's no real balance lol

Worst offender is probably the Johto trio. Gold's team... just sucks. And not in a "haha he's goofy" way. If this were a competitive ladder, he'd be hard-stuck in Great Ball tier and blaming RNG

His team is Typhlosion who hard carries it and without him, Gold's team collapses. Politoed is fine but underutilized and has no rain core synergy with his team. Ambipom is mid, frail and too gimmicky. Sudowoodo is a monotype to one of the worst types. Togekiss is a good Pokemon that's unsupported. Pichu is just a mascot and I refuse to believe Sunflora was ever meant to battle. Narrative underdogs still need payoff but Pichu never evolves and Sunflora just sucks

If I had to give Gold a proper team
>Typhlosion
Starter and ace, speed + special offense. Still the star, but no longer a slave carrying six toddlers on its back
>Ampharos
Electric coverage, bulky enough to stick around and covers Flying and Water threats cleanly. This alone fixes a huge hole in Gold's original roster
>Red Gyarados
Physical sweeper with Intimidate to scare enemies and Dragon Dance/Waterfall/Crunch/Earthquake for movesets. No, I don't care if Silver has it. He doesn't need 3 Water-types and Feraligatr does the exact same job as Gyarados. Gold seriously needs a muscle on his team
>Heracross
Swords Dance + Megahorn. It got a great physical movepool and despite the Flying-type weakness, is actually a usable sweeper. Guts so it can it can hit like a truck if it gets inflicted by a status condition
>Donphan
Good tank and Ground typing is absurdly valuable. Also checks out Electric and Rock
>Exeggutor
Grass/Psychic gives coverage Sunflora could only dream of. Can be used for leep support, special pressure, and utility. Feels Johto without being embarrassing

Silver's team is surprisingly even worse than Gold's and that's impressive in the same way it’s impressive to trip over a bar that was already on the floor. Silver's game counterpart actually has a coherent, threatening team identity, but the manga kind of throws that out so he can look more "edgy"

Silver's biggest problem is that he has 3 Water-types: Feraligatr, Gyarados and Kingdra. It only takes one Thunderbolt to take down his entire team and ruin his day. You can do that with just a Pikachu at the right level. Add Weavile + Honchkrow and now you’ve stacked shared weaknesses, overlapping roles and no grounding for Electric spam. Paul is of a similar archetype to Silver but Paul worked cause his Pokemon counterbalanced each other. His "edgy" mons had defined roles while Silver's just hoarding cool-looking predators. So to fix Silver's team, I'd give him
>Feraligatr
Mandatory. Stolen starter, physical attacker, emotional core.
>Weavile
Honestly, it's fine. It does its job as a speed demon and a revenge killer. Glass cannon fits Silver’s early ruthlessness and it keeps the Dark/Ice identity without bloating the team
>Magnezone
Patches Electric weakness. Steel typing gives real defensive backbone and it fits the "Exchanger" gimmick via evolution by trade. This alone turns Silver from fragile to dangerous
>Magmortar
Wallbreaker and covers Steel and Grass. Aggressive, high-output, no-nonsense. Feels like something Silver would use to end fights, not posture
>Crobat
Poison/Flying coverage. Brave Bird, U-turn, Roost and Taunt makes it a fast disruptor and plays into the "harass and dismantle" role Silver should have. Also helps Silver prevent enemies from setting him up or healing
>Steelix
Physical wall from hell. Hazard setter Roar + Toxic = control, not brute force. Thematically fits Johto and Silver's "cold, immovable" mindset

>>58814683
>>58814754
Do blue (F), Crystal and Yellow. I read that Yellow on the surface is schizophrenic, but actually a somewhat decent competitive team.

>>58813672
>>58813957
I like the explanation that being a shut-in made X perceptive to surroundings and Pokemon's emotions. It's kind of funny, but also a bit tragic for to develop trust issues early in life. XY manga has a lot of tension, and he's usually the first one to pick up on danger or traps.
Also his team using 5 Megas is cool. It would sad if there's never a ZA Special...

They refuse to publish the Ruby/Sapphire sex scene. But Kusaka also refuses to let it go.

>>58814916
Crystal's team is arguably the worst of the Johto trio, and that's saying something because Gold and Silver already lowered the bar. She has a Smoochum at level 48 and Cubone at level 73... Unevolved Pokemon can only work if they have Eviolite (not a thing here), they have busted abilities or moves (they don't) or there's a payoff (there isn't)
Instead, Crys is sabotaging herself by choosing to be weaker for no narrative gain. If Silver's sin is redundancy and Gold's is dependency, Crystal's sin is refusing to grow.

Arcanine carries her team just like how Typhlosion carried Gold and Meganium is a support starter trapped on a team with nothing worth supporting. No screens, no synergy, no defensive core. Meganium isn't bad, it's just abandoned. Parasect gets cooked by Fire and eaten by Flying, Hitmonchan is outclassed by every other Fighting type and Xatu is mid. For a somewhat decent team, I'd give her
>Meganium
Support unit. Screens, Leech Seed, Aromatherapy. Anchor of the team, not a liability
>Arcanine
Still the enforcer. Physical pressure (Extreme Speed, Wild Charge), refuses to die (Morning Sun), Intimidate and the "closer" (Flare Blitz)
>Togekiss
Instead of Gold, Crystal receives it after he tends to the Togepi egg in order to draw out its potential. Secondary support + para-flinch menace. Ground immunity and keeps dragons in check
>Quagsire
Physical tank, especially with theUnawareability (which ignores the opponent's stat changes), has only one weakness and chances are Crys is less likely to stumble upon a Grass user
>Snorlax
Adds a significant bulk and offensive power to Crystal's team, benefiting from Meganium's ability to create switching opportunities with Leech Seed. Has only one weakness while also being completely immune to Ghost types
>Hitmonlee
Goes well with her unique style of kicking Poke Balls with her feet after breaking her arms. Primarily serves as afast physical cleaner, aiming to KO weakened opponents late in a battle

>>58815822
I know it’s bullshit, but I believe it.

>>58816062
To be fair with Crystal, she doesn’t battle she’s a researcher.

>>58817327
If I were to redesign Crystal's team I'd fill it with utility mons designed to capture mons as efficiently as possible. Parasect is practically mandatory for it's access to Spore.

>>58817548
Definitely, but I also understand why they went with the team they gave her since there was always going to be a big climatic battle

>>58815687

Having actually used Gold's team, I can confirm it's fucking abysmal. I remember having to grind to beat, all of fucking leaders, Chuck just because his Poliwrath would fuck up Typhlosion and the rest of the team sucked without him.

>>58814754
Silver's team is unbalanced sure, but Water-type is a great type (and also Kingdra isn't gonna die to a Thunderbolt lad, cmon). My only beef with Silver's team was Sneasel only being in Mt Silver, and even if you traded one in early, it just kinda sucks.

>>58816062
Crystal's team is made for catching Pokemon so this feels sorta unfair. Her Parasect is actually godly at its actual intended purpose and having Cubone for False Swiper and Smoochum for Mean Look works well. The rest of the team is broadly average but I enjoyed using it way more than Gold's team.

>>58813579
I loved Green's team as just a "rule of cool" team but the Pidgeot and Rhyperior family really fucking suck. Porygon was the highlight of the team in Gen 1 when Normal-type was physical and you could use Sharpen to buff Tri-Attack. Both Scizor and Porygon2 felt worse than Gen 1 Scyther and Porygon, which was quite disappointing.

I don't take much umbrage with the Special kids having uneven teams either. At times it seems like another arm of the brand's continual attempts to AVOID looking cool, but beyond reflecting personalities, most trainers probably aren't going to have perfectly balanced food-pyramid teams either. And it gives some of the weaker and out their creatures some kind of moment, too. A male lead using Sunflora, Yellow's mostly being a dumping ground of things that would never be in a headline character's team, etc.

Everyone is obsessed with Scarlet because of the Wednesday Addams meme. Nobody gives a fuck about Violet, then he dyed his hair and just looks like a Fisher-Price Ruby now.

Since people are still talking about optimizing the Dex Holders teams, I figured I'd rebuild them all

With Green, her team is one of the weakest among the Kanto cast, rivaled only by Yellow. Her roster is Blastoise, Wigglytuff, Granbull, Clefable, Nidoqueen, Jigglypuff, and Ditto. But it has almost NO synergy and is heavily stacked with “cute” Pokemon rather than functional roles. She runs 4 Fairy types. All it takes is a single good Steel type with Bullet Punch or a Poison type with Sludge Bomb to dismantle her. Ditto is a pure gimmick, and Blastoise ends up doing all the heavy lifting for a team with no cohesion or plan

A rebuilt team that actually supports Green would be:
>Venusaur
Bulky Grass/Poison pivot with excellent utility. Sleep Powder, Leech Seed, and Sludge Bomb give it status control, longevity, and pressure, while its typing covers key weaknesses for the team
>Clefable
A flexible Fairy with strong defenses, Magic Guard, and a massive support movepool. It provides Dragon immunity and defensive stability, while Venusaur checks threats that pressure Clefable
>Gengar
Primary offensive threat and disruptor. Its Ghost/Poison typing counters Poison types, grants Normal + Fighting immunity, and adds much needed speed and power. Shadow Ball, Sludge Bomb, and Focus Blast punish Steel types that wall Fairies
>Starmie
Speed control, hazard removal, and offensive pivot. Water/Psychic typing gives key resistances, Natural Cure enables repeated switching, and Rapid Spin keeps the team (especially Gengar who's frail) healthy
>Chansey
Dedicated special wall and sustain engine. Absorbs special pressure that would overwhelm others and provides team support via Soft-Boiled, Heal Bell, and status moves
>Rhyperior
Physical wall and heavy hitter. Rock/Ground typing answers Steel and Electric types, pairs perfectly with Chansey, and gives the team real physical presence

Forgot to mention that Green has Blissey, not Chansey. No need for an unevolved Mon

Anyway, Yellow gets more of a pass than the others since she clearly isn’t a traditional Trainer, but her canon team is still a mess: Raticate, Dodrio, Golem, Omastar, Butterfree, and Pikachu. Two mediocre Normal types, two Rock types (arguably one of the worst typings overall), a Bug/Flying that folds to Rock, and Pikachu largely cause it’s the mascot. The team lacks cohesion, roles, and survivability. If I were to rebuild Yellow while preserving her outdoorsy, country-girl protector vibe:
>Pikachu
As the mascot of Pokémon Yellow, Chuchu stays. Like Red’s Pika, it’s a fragile speedster: fast, hard-hitting, and usually the first to fall
>Mega Kangaskhan
Regular Kangaskhan is merely decent, but Mega Kangaskhan is a monster. Parental Bond lets it hit twice, break Substitutes, and massively boost moves like Power-Up Punch, giving Yellow a durable, high-damage centerpiece without losing her grounded aesthetic
>Slowbro
Yellow’s defensive anchor. Water/Psychic typing, excellent bulk, recovery, and status utility let it soak pressure that would overwhelm Pikachu or Kangaskhan. Unlike Golem or Omastar, Slowbro actually stabilizes the field
>Venomoth
A functional upgrade to Butterfree. Faster, more reliable, and better at spreading status and pivoting out. Still vulnerable to Rock, but far less of a liability
>Gliscor
Interceptor and perimeter defender. Electric immunity, strong physical bulk, Roost, and Poison Heal let it stall threats and buy time. Also fits with Yellow’s role as a protector. Gliscor is known to be a highly territorial creature, often acting as a fierce protector of its domain
>Dragonite
Yellow’s emotional and mechanical closer. Bulky, flexible, and powerful without being cruel. Narratively, it contrasts Lance’s Dragonite: protection and empathy over fear and domination. Also reinforces Yellow’s arc i.e. strength doesn’t need intimidation to matter

Ditto represents Green’s ability to deceive people but Gengar represents her ability to deceive opponents mid-fight

The rebuild isn’t erasing her trickster identity (IMO at least), it’s simply upgrading it from social disguise to battlefield control

Yellow

Now that I think about it, the Johto Gym Leaders got so shafted during the GSC arc

>>58810956
>>58843165
To be fair, Yellow’s team was decent during the first three generations of Pokemon.

>>58853894
Never played the initial generation, is this anon telling the truth.

>>58854418
IDK about all of her team, but I do know that Raticate and Dodrio are both pretty solid in the early generations if we're talking campaigns

>>58851378
Man, Yellow's fit is fire.

>>58851378
Jasmine, but mostly because I weak to girls in sundresses.

whats the recommended version of this series? Ive read there is lots of censoring in the official releases. Is there a collection you can download somewhere?

The censored version is ironically the most complete English version now so just stick to that. There's a more detailed reading guide on Leddit somewhere if the censorship annoys you, or you can also just use the Sapphirefag links to find the arcs you're interested in https://rentry.org/vp-mg-sapphire-birch-pokespe#manga-reading-list-spoiler-free

Don’t get viz.

There's no winning.

I’m surprised Nintendo is fucking up so badly.

What cool animation. Wish more Pokespe animations were being made.

>>58838016
Way too lewd. Is there a second page

>>58859469
There’s a few still being made

>>58859650
Would be a hot alternative what if.

>>58851378
Both are equally good, but I will pick Jasmine because she comes from a noble family

>>58857844
>uncensored, but flipped
They still flip manga in this day and age?

>>58860981
>Jasmine because she comes from a noble family
Isn't she just some rich's guy daughter?

>>58811063
At the past

>>58862238
If someone does, that's news to me. Both Viz and Chuang Yi's earlier releases were flipped. For PokeSpe, that was the first 40 volumes of the Chuang Yi release and Viz's first edition from the early 2000s that covered the first 7 volumes.

Ruby got Sapphire. Yellow has Red, Crystal has Gold and Silver.

>tradwife
All these typing mistakes and misunderstanding of common terms is the classic hallmark of ESL effect on basic discussion here. When people complain about ESLs, this is exactly why. Just admit you only look at the manga for the pictures and didn't actually read the text (which has been translated into hundreds of different languages for maximum outreach yet that still hasn't helped here)

>>literal girl boss who is the CEO of her own entertainment company which she works on full time as a single woman
See the problem with this analysis is that it’s only taking into account White’s role/career and nothing about her personality. Despite being her position as head of her own company and her obvious seniority over Black she’s still incredibly feminine, patient, compassionate and sweet.
>Just admit you only look at the manga for the pictures and didn't actually read the text
I don’t agree with the tradwife label for White either, (White doesn’t really fit neatly into any one box imo) but there’s really no need to get this bent out of shape over it.

Don’t forget the /u/ baiting.

>>58872282
/u/ baiting has been a staple in adventures since gen 1

How do the remake story arcs workout? I've seen how the protagonists get their designs updated to match the designs of the designs in HG/SS & ORAS, for example. Is that just because those story arcs weren't actually finished at the time of the release of the remakes? Kinda like how midway through the Best Wishes anime they just decided to throw in all the BW2 content and characters in to match the release of BW2, even though it made no sense chronologically.

>>58872614
>they just decided to throw in all the BW2 content and characters in to match the release of BW2, even though it made no sense chronologically.
Yeah, same thing happened when Emerald was release while Ruby and Sapphire. I actually think Yellow might be an exception to this.

>>58864895
I'm not the anon who said this, for once, but as an anon who bitches about her a lot it's like the story revolves around her to an offputting extent + she never really has to suffer in a meaningful way + the other "main" "characters" are just simps whose entire lives revolve around her.

I don't really feel like posting much about it tonight so anons don't have to read my bullshit this time, but I've done it before in more detail.

>>58872526
No it wasn't.

Explain? Isn’t yellow version just the anime??

>>58870846
Black is a traditional husband

>>58872614
The remakes are a continuation of the original arcs. With the Exceptions of Diamond and Pearl, remakes of course.

Panel 1

Worker: Would you like to sample our coffee?

Gold: Oh! Is that all?

Panel 2

Gold: Here, I got some for you guys, too.

Crys: Is it black? I’ll pass. I won’t be able to sleep.

Silver: Dia says “coffee is something for adults to appreciate~”

Panel 3

Gold: An adult drink? Come on.

Gold: Don’t tell me you’re scared of a little coffee.

Panel 4

Gold’s mom: Gold, it’s dinner time!

Gold: No thanks. I’m feeling nauseous.

(In the original text, Silver refers to Dia as master because they all love watching Proteam Omega.)

Banner: People who seem like they could drink coffee black

Green: Sugar? Milk? Unnecessary.

X: Cool~ (tryhard)

Platinum: Some people who don’t like sour flavors find they like Geisha coffee just fine.

Yamamoto: It’s true it didn’t make me feel sick, but it tasted more like tea than coffee. Besides, it’s expensive!

Cyrus: That there’s a Manzai trio

Mars: Ahaha! Amusing!

Black: Stop trying to drink me!

White: I can drink it, but I drink it a lot during meetings and when I’m brainstorming ideas, so it’s not really something I drink for pleasure.

Moon: Do you want some stomach medicine, then?

Blake + Scarlet: Like or dislike, good or bad tasting, doesn’t matter.

Blake: I’ll drink what’s necessary for the mission.

Scarlet: I’ll drink what’s been given to me.

Blake + Scarlet: Hm?

Yes, and the Boorus especially need them, too. It sucks that some of them used to have their own tag, but some idiot in the early 10s decided to merge them with their games counterparts and it has stayed like that to this day.

Sapphire: So noisy! When we're on a fieldwork, if it's edible, we'd even gnaw on the tree roots. So don't say such extravagant things!

Emerald: That's right. Let's eat with gratitude.

Sapphire: If you dry this, you can make herbal tea.

Yellow: Can these be made into herbal tea too?

The three: If you drink that... you'll suffer from severe stomach pain for three days and three nights, tossing and turning in agony!

Yellow: Guys, how did you...? (Sapphire- learned from her father, Moon- knowledge, Scarlet- experience)

Yellow: To avoid mistakes, let's draw a sketch first.

Scarlet: With your drawing skills?

Moon (excited): A sharp tongue! ("poisonous" tongue 毒舌)

Violet: Three days and three nights, seven rolls and eight falls, so a total of 42 rolls and 48 falls (6x7 and 6x8)

Old Roto: In this case, it should be 21 rolls and 24 falls within three days (3x7 and 3x8)

(Japanese proverb 七転八倒 seven rolls and eight falls, describing tossing and turning in agony.)

Yamamoto thought Yellow might not drink coffee, and might like fruit milk, milk tea, or herbal tea.

>>58821499
It's Japanese-exclusive manga published in a manga compilation magazine for late elementary/early middle schoolers. And it's not even the most important/popular manga in that compilation because Coro Coro obviously is pushing their own series more.
PokeSpe is most niche part of Pokemon franchise that is still active.
