A better question is why did Sword give his Pokemon such retarded nicknames?

My guess is that they needed an audience surrogate to see Sword and Shield for some reason

They probably also gave him Sobble as way to keep him relevant

Reminds me of how they had a manga original character in the form of Emerald back in the RSE saga except with a super generic appearance that looks more like an NPC trainer than an actual major character

Is there any particular reason why they portrayed Shield just as nutty as the way the fandom portrays her?

Not really, Special always tries to do something new with each set of protagonists for variety.

It's a hell of a lot better than the way Hilda/White was portrayed.

Most fans were expecting a Tough "Take no Shit" Tomboy character from her.

Instead we got a generic as all hell Shoujo Protagonist

His specialty is Pokemon that carry items, which he repairs and improves. He's naming them after the items they use, and did the same with his Gurdurr.

Her personality matches her Scorbunny. Both are Hyper and Mischievous

Sword matches with his Grookey. The Calm, Collected, Leader of the Group

Marvin matches with Sobble. Timid, Shy, and Cowardly.

This does make me wonder if the 3 trainers will retain these personality traits once their respective Starters evolve. Because all of them, Sobble Especially, get major personality overhauls once they evolve.

His design is literally the Schoolboy trainer. That’s about as generic as you can get. Even a Lass or a Dancer would have been better

Well in that regard, Sobble is the perfect pick for him given that it goes from shy to confident, something that could mirror his own growth over the course of the saga

>a super generic appearance

I must have woken up in the wrong fucking dimension again, what part of Emerald in his original arc is generic? Were you referring to Wally the Sidelined, Lord of Throwaway Plot instead?

I was talking about the new kid having the generic appearance hence the ‘except’ when it came to the comparison
