As of Pokopia, this is the second confirmed canon choice protagonist in Pokemon, straight from the writing of Pokemon's mainline writers. Say something nice about him!
>>59036877Well, duh. Just like Red, he existed before any female counterpart of his did.
>>59036895Yeah, but he never appeared as an NPC or got mentioned after his playable appearance, so the existence of Kris/Lyra left his canonicity up in the air.
>>59036877>not the original onengmi
>>59036903Gold basically doesn't exist anymore in GF's eyes unless it's in the exact specific context of GSC, they only see Ethan in all other iterations of the male Johto protagonist.
he's better like this actuallymuch cuter
>>59036903They had to fagify him after beating Red from KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>59036911>>59036903You guys know Gold and Ethan are the same person right?
>>59036877Red and May Ethan and Dawn
>>59036963Nope, they're treated separate, the same way Kris and Lyra are different characters, otherwise Gold would've kept his name instead of becoming Ethan/Hibiki.
>>59036963just like leaf and green, right?
>>59036970Yeah, those are the same too, treated the same, in similar roles, always the same. They have never been treated differently before, and never will. See Kris and Lyra for an actual example of treating two versions of the femMC as different people.>>59036968Why do you lie? There has never ever been a single instance of Gold and Ethan being treated as two niggas like Kris and Lyra do. Pic related dropped yesterday for fuck sake who do you think you are fooling?
>>59036981If they're meant to be the exact same, why change the name?
>>59036988Remake!MCs are alt timeline versions of protagonists that sometimes have even an entirely different biology (different eye color, skin and hair) and you think getting a different name that fits better within the context makes them different? What a fucking retard.
>>59037002Cool! So Leaf from FRLG is canonically the exact same person as Green from LGPE, a deranged psychopath obsessed with Legendary Pokemon who has a petplay fetish? That's Leaf's canon personality and role, too?
>>59037013No, schizo, no Pokemon character is a deranged pshychopath with a petplay fetish, your fetish isn't canon.
>>59037030Green literally proposes that if she can't have Mewtwo, she'll capture (You) so she can own Mewtwo by proxy, and throws multiple Poke Balls at you. She's very clearly mentally unwell.
Let’s GO Pikachu/Eevee is the current canon Kanto. This means if they ever give us Let’s GO Pichu and Let’s GO Togepi they can bring Kris back from the dead because as of right now her world has been nuked
>>59037035>proposes that if she can't have Mewtwo, she'll capture (You) so she can own Mewtwo by proxyGlad we agree nothing in the game actually confirms your disgusting fetish fanfic
>>59037046Nah, LGPE is explicitly alternate continuity. Some of its features like region design have become superseding canon, but many of its key details in terms of narrative are inherently incompatible with the narratives of other games.Red is still lorded as the legendary trainer who dismantled Team Rocket by beating its boss into hiding, when it should be Chase who did that if LGPE was new canon, as LGPE Red is just a random skilled trainer who had no involvement in Team Rocket and no confirmed history of being an Indigo League Champion.Mina existing at the time of Kanto's events would mean she'd be in her 30's at minimum by the time Alola's events started, which would disqualify her from being a Trial Captain, which means LGPE would be explicitly incompatible with SMUSUM.
>>59037058She literally throws Poke Balls at you. She wants to capture you, like a Pokemon. So she can command you, like a Pokemon, so she can command Mewtwo, an actual Pokemon.That's literally petplay.
>>59037059Correction, Red and Green are confirmed champions in LGPE, literally one of the first things you learn about them, but in a different way. Until the climax of the Kanto game you become Champion by beating the Elite 4 and that's it, Champion is just an award and you fuck off and continue your life, like in Alola's old Island Challenge. It's at the end when they decide to add the Champion to the gaunlet so the next trainer to become Champion becomes part of the league and becomes the final boss to face for any other potential champion, that's why Lance tells you that by beating him you would have been the champion if not for Green doing it before, he was faster so now you have to beat the Elite 4 AND the previous champ
>>59037077Still, the continuity differs. Red isn't the legend who whooped Giovanni so bad he went into indefinite hiding (else he shouldn't even BE in LGPE for Chase to repeat history), and Mina literally cannot be a Trial Captain if she was in her 10s back during the events of Kanto, when Red in SMUSUM very clearly looks like a man in his 30's, thus implicating that Mina should be in her 30's too.
