Do you think they were tying to imply a love triangle or something? It felt really weird how Nemona and Arven were bickering with each other and aggressively competing for your attention. And both of them have moments with the MC that feel like they're straight out of a dating sim. Am I imagining things?

Not really. It was clearly just overly controlling friends.

Besides, Juliana only likes old fat balding men.

I think it's because you're essentially their first friend they have healthy human interaction with. Nemona only had colleagues and people she stomped in battles, Penny never interacted with Team Star in person and was exiled for a year, and Arven was being a school skipping hobo dealing with parental issues. So it's only natural they'd get attached. But also because they each had a life changing journey with you that many people don't ever experience with even one person in their lifetime, so when you change their life in a way no one else really ever could, and then they find out that you did that same thing with two other people, it's only natural they'd be a bit jealous/competitive over it.

It felt like a love triangle to me, but it was probably just gamefreak trying to make sure guys had a girl to crush on while girls had a guy to crush on. But since their dialogue doesn't change based on gender, Nemona seems like a lesbian if you play as a girl, and Arven seems gay if you play as a guy.

I guess that's why it feels like a dating sim sometimes. It's like a deep bonding experience with several people at once.

>>52614640
I'm bisexual so I was wondering if Arven seemed a bit gay to others as well or if it's just me.

>>52614703
How come Nemona was the only one using Spanish words anyway? It's really weird when you think about it.

I mean I'm a femanon so he didn't come off as gay in my playthrough, but I assume if I played as a guy he would have. Though I was too busy crushing on Nemona to pay much attention to his lines to begin with. But even then, it always felt like there was some romantic subtext to his dialogue.

Interesting that you still felt like there was romantic subtext from him then. Almost makes me wonder if GF is testing the water for elements like that.

Definitely made me feel a little funny, not gonna lie. The way he just grabs the MCs hips and slams them down right in front of his crotch... whew. Almost makes me feel bad for Nemonafags for not getting such "fanservice".

The bit in the post-game where you unlock their dorm rooms definitely felt like a dating sim. Wouldn't mind if gamefreak leans further into romance, as long as I can swing either way.

I was kinda thinking the same, but then you have to wonder why they made the MC so young (looking) then. Female MC can at least look a bit older thanks to make-up and such, but it's impossible to make a male looking character that looks older than 12. It's a little strange that Nemona and Arven act like they are your peers when they seem to be around 16-18.

As someone who likes Nemona, I was definitely jealous that it wasn't Nemona who grabbed us in that scene. But she probably would have broken her arm if she tried.

In the post-game after you rematch the gym leaders and participate in the school tournament, you can find the three friends around the school. Hunt them down and talk to them a few times, and they'll eventually bring you back to their room.

Arven could be as young as 14 or whatever really because we don’t even know how the school works, but we can assume he’s been in school a while. there’s a lot of younger and older students. i think they just left it open ended because you can make your character look older or younger

I doubt he's that young. We know that he hasn't even seen his parent in several years, probably more than 5 . Which means he has been completely taking care of himself since then. Well I guess this is the world of Pokemon where 10 year olds can apparently travel the world by themselves... But even that aside, he's got sideburns all the way to his jawline and is pretty tall compared to the other kids so I'm guessing it's more like 16.

New trainers are expected to be able to survive at 10 because they have a form of income (battling) to survive on. Though that obviously isn't reflected through gameplay because it's not a survival sim.
Arven is self-admittedly not a serious battler before you come along. He probably had to survive on his own through other means unless he was getting a hefty allowance from somewhere.
It'd be a hard sell to say a 7 year old could survive on their own like that. Three years means a lot in early development.

A 7 year old won't really know what to do with money anyway. Probably just buy a bunch of ice cream and candy and die of malnutrition.
A 10 year old might be more able to figure out they need a more varied diet than that.

Nah, as a straight dude.
Arven comes off more as a kid with issues that needs a bro.
The reason chicks think he's flirting with them is because most guys genuinely can not think of a friendship with a woman, it's always about transitioning it into a real relationship.

The school has students from like half your own height (I'm assuming like 5-6 years old) to elderly, and somebody (I want to say Nemona, during the intro tour of Mesagoza and the school) mentions in passing that there's no age restriction on studying there. I assume the player character can't be changed for a number of reasons - it's cheaper to only have to make assets for one body type, GF doesn't want to acknowledge their audience is not just the children they market the games to, and tradition has you be roughly ten years old at the start of a game. I'd love it if they'd let you play as a character of Nemona & Arven's age(s?).

My headcanon is that he got into cooking because his parent only left him with shitty microwave meals and other processed foods so he got fucking tired of eating the same garbage every day. So he started making his own food instead.
