>>57517660>>57513488>Platinum's arc should just be focused on research and maybe contests, Pearl could do the gym battles, and Diamond could support both and then play the biggest role in the Galactic plot. Like Diamond could feel like he contributes the least to the team but then it's clear by the end he's actually contributed the most.Yeah this is great, and fits with the Diamond ideas I've already listed earlier.
>Alternatively, all three could do be trying to earn the badges/contests instead Platinum, like they're shared between the three of them. This might also make the breaking of Sapphire's record feel more acceptable, like "they were faster because they worked together"I like this idea too, I think it fits better with what I assumed was Kusaka's original intention, for the trio's achievements to be a group effort as I mentioned earlier.
>>57517655Kusaka and Yamamoto are over 60 years old by now, so Special fans often worry about them literally dying.
