She was always a romantic, what changed was her becoming ashamed of it because it's girly and she thought being girly was weak and bad. But after becoming friends with Ruby, she let her guard down and started spilling spaghetti. Then later after her starcrossed childhood friend love story fantasy becomes unironically real, Sapphire went insane and stopped pretending like romance didn't make her extremely happy. Probably because her boyfriend both accepts her as the cringey retard she is while also validating a lot of her romantic fantasies.

True, but genuinely how's a girl to find a guy who isn't porn addicted (since "has never looked at porn at all" is probably too high a standard) in current year? Besides hunting for a man at church or some equivalent but that isn't a guarantee either. There are multiple grim subreddits all about how porn addiction has completely nuked people's marriages and no one finds out about it until it's way too late, because nobody's going to admit to an addiction upfront.

>>59443073
Related but I doubt Ruby looks at porn because he gets a tarzan gf who's always stripping before either of them even hit puberty. Maybe Sapphire rewired his brain early so he just stares at her ass all day and that's enough.

Addiction isn't the problem if the addicted shows genuine interest in changing for the better (maybe when confronted first, but still). Even if the damage is done, you could still count on the partner valuing the relationship more than whatever the addictions are. Besides, name one person that isn't addicted in one way or another. Aside from porn addictions, there are wide-spread substance-based addictions (smoking, drinking, anything hard drugs related) and behavioral ones (internet, social media, gambling) in todays (and yesterday's) society. Looking for someone without any of these must be an even higher unrealistic standard.
>how's a girl to find a guy who isn't porn addicted [...] in current year?
Probably the same way how a guy finds a girl that isn't all make-up and looks or doesn't have an OnlyFans. As long as both sides hold onto the ridiculous idea that the other gender must be at least of the same batch as a Disney Princess or Prince Charming, while also narcissistically considering themselves infallible while indulging in the most degenerate activities the world of today has to offer, we stay where we are.

It's true you can get addicted to anything, but some vices get worse faster than others. Porn addiction is also one of the few I've seen with widespread astroturfing campaign online of people claiming it doesn't exist/doesn't have potentially permanent consequences like ED or other physical effects that can't be reversed through sheer willpower or falling in love. Also saw similar claims online about gaming or social media addictions not being real or not frying our brains/attention spans. Since these are all industries generating billions in money right now and the corpos behind them are always secretly trying to clear up their reputation.

Turns out ill people make great customers...

I agree with what you wrote, what I tried pointing out is the desirable other will always have issues which you WILL have to deal with in a relationship. Even without the issues that plague this generation, it's simply what you get with a partner who's human and therefore flawed by design. Which ironically a "perfect" AI partner of today can never replace since flaws are what put a relationship to test, allowing it to grow and giving a counterweight to the positive sides. A device solely meant to make us feel good will become stale in the long run, because we will sooner or later (or, in the tragic cases, never) reject it as an illusion.[/spoiler]

One of the things I dislike the most about Viz's translation of the RS arc (on top of the countless censors) is how they made Sapphire appear way more retarded than she actually is. There are multiple instances of this, but one of the worst offenders is in PS190 when she has to take a written test at Rustboro.
In the original japanese version Sapphire has neither a rudimentary vocabulary nor struggles to read, instead she doesn't know the readings of certain kanji. For those less familiar with japanese, while they have their phonetic alphabets (which Sapphire knows), they instead use kanji to refer to most names, verbs, adjectives etc.
Once she's told how a kanji is read, she can understand the questions (and read them) just fine. Viz decided to adapt this by making Sapphire struggle to read normal words and outright making her have no idea what other words even mean, giving the false impression that she's illiterate and genuinely retarded. Right after this scene another one follows where they show her once again in a more negative light than the original.
Japanese family names are usually written in kanji. While Odamaki (the Japanese version of Birch) has its own kanji, "Sapphire" is not a native Japanese word and therefore warrants being written in katakana. Sapphire writes her full name in hiragana for the same reason mentioned above, she is not proficient with kanji and is implied to only be able to read katakana but not write it very well.
Viz adapts this by making her have messy and unreadable handwriting instead, once again making her look much worse than she actually is.
>>
>>59445330
I mean, it's the usual issue with Japanese and english languages just being incompatible. Japanese has three different alphabets (four if you count them using nowadays roman alphabet rather frequently) with multiple different styles and use cases while most western languages have one alphabet and one way to write each word.

>muh translator notes.
In cases like this you would need like a separate page or two just for translation notes and because printing costs money, obviously publishers would murderfuck their translators and editors for even thinking about that.

Retarded Sapphire is cuter, though. That plus her being oblivious to her massive dumptruck.

Very interesting meta, thank you. I knew about her struggling with kanji but not katakana but it makes sense as it's used for foreign words. But also, consider >>59445370
Besides there are only so many ways Viz could've adapted Sapphire struggling with 3 alphabet systems to a language where there's only one. Making her dyslexic with idiot handwriting was probably the simplest way to do it.

Also from a narrative standpoint, Sapphire looking more or less retarded ESPECIALLY during Roxanne's test doesn't even matter. Since the whole point of Rustboro Gym's paper test was for Sapphire to look stupid. Because in both her world and ours we equate literacy and language mastery to intelligence, and intelligence and civilization to value. But at least in the PokeSpe world they have magic/gods, so Sapphire represents the underappreciated value of nature and the instinctive/spiritual. At Rustboro you're supposed to think she's a low value human for struggling with basic reading (regardless of which aspect of language/alphabet) and then later you're supposed to realize you were wrong when she uses her knowledge of the north wind, knowledge from her experiences camping and not from any book, to beat Roxanne's Nosepass.

The point was to show that Sapphire was both the fish being judged for its ability to climb trees, and the book judged for its cover. The reader expects her to be stupid, but she's actually smart in specific ways if given a chance. The reader also expects her to be a cruel violent brute, but even after Roxanne bullied her constantly Sapphire's not interested in revenge, she'd rather just get over it and be friends. She's weird balance of aggressive (forward?) but not resentful. Kind of like a wild animal that only thinks 20 seconds ahead in time.

Also Sapphire turning out to be smarter and kinder than first impressions imply contrasts her with Ruby, who overall looks worse as RS goes on since he keeps being an asshole just pretending to be useless.

Rosa and Hilda give her solid competition. AniDawn is great, but May ultimately wins out and has more interesting rivals/love interests as well as being more fleshed out in most incarnations.
Either way, I like all the girls from the GBA-DS era.

Love interests is debatable since it depends on whether you count official ships or fan shipping so I'll just add an asterisk for unofficial ships.

>MovieMay
A mostly pure May in love with Ash, but if they ever get intimate, her freakier side from the main anime will start to show.
>AniMay
Thot who flirts with random guys she just met to get food and favors and whatever else she wants for free. Especially food, there's nothing she won't do for a good jelly filled doughnut. Her parents sent Max to go with her on her journey but not even that could stop her degenerate ways.
>Sapphire
While her mind is pure she always gets tricked into degen shit like anal because she's retarded. But she doesn't know what's going on. Is it degen if it's unintentional?
>Game May (RS / E / ORAS)
RS May is the pure girl next door, Emerald May is leading on both the Magmas and Aquas, and ORAS May belongs to the streets.

>>59445748
Thinking about it, why are MovieMay and AniMay even considered two entirely different characters? The movies are based on the anime timeline, so shouldn't the characteristics which apply to AniMay also apply to MovieMay (minus what the movies add)?

>Especially food, there's nothing she won't do for a good jelly filled doughnut.
AniMay would be the kind of person you would randomly find online when searching for "fat bitches fighting for food" because let's be real, there's no way she will keep her shape with the calory intake of hers

>Is it degen if it's unintentional?
I doubt she would be totally unaware (unless she's really 100% retarded to the point of being on the same level as a dog). But assuming she is in fact clueless, the moment she finds out about what's going on, she becomes a degenerate when she continues with the "activities", as she no longer can claim she's innocent.
One could also argue she's degenerate BECAUSE she does this despite not knowing what's really going on (and therefore risking becoming a degenerate). But with that, the definition of degeneracy becomes very loose because lacking knowledge would be the sole determinator of whether you are degenerate or not. Not to mention it's impossible to consider yourself absolutely knowledgeable, as there's always knowledge you might lack. So in total, this doesn't sound right.

>Emerald May is leading on both the Magmas and Aquas
In what way?

>and ORAS May belongs to the streets

It's mainly a shipping split, presumably rooted in the writers' room. AniMay, despite some light teases, was clearly designed to ultimately fall for Drew; MovieMay, by contrast, completely contradicts that by how she does the stereotypical gf stuff like pulling away Ash from fights practically with tears in her eyes to calm him down and melt away his anger (and his heart), plus the entirety of the Manaphy movie, Luvdisc scene included. It becomes difficult to reconcile Drew-pilled AniMay clearly having feelings for Ash during that movie especially (and arguably in subtle ways in Deoxys and Lucario too), only to U-turn right back to Drew (albeit taking the ribbon half as a token to always have Ash spiritually with her) once we go back to the show. So for mainly thread purposes, it's cleaner to separate the two iterations into two, mostly identical Mays, each with their hearts pointed in different directions. Drew isn't a factor in the movies, and most "show Advanceshipping" is either very general or chiefly in the DP return, so the two sides can more easily coexist.

No idea. She seems pretty innocuous to me. Emerald May surprisingly has a competitive edge, given that Scott reveals that he saw your rival looking angry after the route 119 battle, which also includes May (that line was more than likely written for Brendan in mind but remains unchanged even when playing as him).
