>>28019618>True. She is street smart, and her Gym is literally in a dirty nightclub in the bad part of town.Those latter two points just feel perfect for possible stories. You could have the fan or someone else come from there, people within it not really noticing anything bad that happens because it isn't there business, people outside not really caring because it's the bad part, etc.
Makes me think too that Roxie's outward appearance and personality could work against her in such a situation depending on how well people know her. If she happened to go missing they could chalk it up to her lifestyle or her just deciding that she was bored of being a gym leader and skipped town without leaving a notice.
>Yeah, Gen 5 gave us some real two-dimensional characters for once.Admittedly I'm glad to hear that about her specifically for other reasons, but the NPCs having more character is something I wouldn't mind being a thing. Allows them to be appealing outside of their designs and allows people to do more with them, whether it be innocent or not.
>I love all this!Glad to hear it, it feels like a fitting possibility when you're dealing with a character of some renown in their universe. Was going to say there could even be a Pokemon version of wikifeet to hammer home things about the fan, but I'm not entirely sure the Pokemon world portrayed by the games has something akin to the internet. Not to mention it's debatable where someone could get a picture of Roxie sans boots.
Speaking of which, I've developed a bit of a thing for footwear and the idea of trophies, so Roxie's boots fit in with that and the fan angle perfectly.
You reminded me that the Memory Link feature is a big part of why I wanted to replay BW first. You do make BW2 sound appealing, which I think echoes what others have said, making me reconsider starting up BW if I have the time before SM. The aforementioned do look different, but I probably won't be convinced until I actually play them.
