>>49922045>He's seemingly passed a threshold within his hobby and has become a "freak" when compared to the old design.Yep, like
>>49924905 said, the trainers and other NPCs that are called "Maniac" (Bug Maniac, Ruin Maniac, Poke Maniac) are supposed to be obsessed with their hobbies, like an equivalent of "otaku". Quite a fitting design. But imo even in the old design he looked "different" to the other adult trainers. I also love the colors lel
>I enjoyed that the trainer class in the original because it was a kind of random rare upgrade to an existing classYeah, me too. The Super Nerds (another favorite of mine) are also supposed to be older Schoolboys.
You know, I never thought I'd find other people who were this passionate about generic trainer classes in Pokemon, of all things. So glad I made this thread.
Here's my attempt at making a PSS icon for the Collector. I've tried making a Bug Maniac icon too, but it's unfinished and looks kinda shitty rn.
>>49917394>>49917378Btw, I can confirm that Poke Maniacs were meant to be monster fanboys, they're called "Kaijuu Mania" in Japanese, and I doubt there was anything to mock back when only Gen 1 had been released anyway. (Sorry)
