I FINALLY HAVE A FAVOURITE HUMAN POKEMON CHARACTER!!!!
Tumblr media
I've been playing Pokemon since probably 2010, and i've never really had a favourite Pokemon character that was human. I mean i do love some characters like Cynthia and Wally, but i just never saw them as my favourites, and it's been like that for years.............UNTIL NOW!!!!
As much as Pokemon Scarlet/Violet has such a wonderful story, as well as fantastic character development. Kieran's arc is the only thing within the game that legit shook me to my core.
Like there were so many thoughts racing through my head after i finished the Teal Mask, and that post ending!!! That gave me serious chills.
I will never forget that battle i had with Kieran when playing the Indigo Disk. That was the most insane and intense Pokemon battle i've ever had in a long time. I legit felt like i was fighting for my life. I haven't been backed into corner like that for years.
What made it worse was that I found out after the battle that, for the first time in Pokemon history, Kieran canonically surpasses Cynthia. And given how she's left tons of players with PTSD, that's a horrifying title to have.
Kieran is more then just your "friendly rival", and i have no idea how to put it in words. One things for certain is that he is nothing like the other rivals in the other games, Kieran was out for blood, specially your blood.
I already considered Pokemon Violet as my favourite Pokemon game of all time, and playing the DLC and the Epilogue, that just deepened the title.
I'm so happy i bought it, and i'm glad Kieran stays our friend at the end too :)
But to think that this timid little bean would become my new worst nightmare lol
Congratulations Kieran, you are now part of my "favourite characters from different fandoms" collection, you've earned it <3

My sister didn't have the same experience when battling Kieran.
We seem to have different battle styles, as you can see here:
