>>56491921TQ: Neither Miko or Ivy have encyclopedic knowledge on all the Pokemon like we anons do. They generally only know of the Pokemon they've seen before or had experiences with. Ivy is familiar with a majority of the Pokemon found in the Unova region and Kanto region and she gained most of her knowledge via schooling and studying hard- especially during her college days where she learned how to be a nurse. Miko's a bit more knowledgeable about more Pokemon in general since he watches battle streams from other regions and a lot of different Pokemon are used to theme various casino games and apps that he plays.
TT: Here's Ivy posing with Alex's Glimmora. Figured the floral imagery was fitting and they've had an encounter before, although Ivy didn't fully realize it at the time (and won't remember either).
>>56492053RQ: Ivy would definitely bend the rules a bit and compete with her Hitmonchan. I'd imagine Hitmonchan riding on her back piggyback style as she does the race by herself with Hitmonchan acting as added weight. Maybe they'd swap positions at some point if she gets too tired.
