no hate but I'll admit I'm getting a lil tired/sad over all the 'ingo chooses hisui because he's built a home/he's not the person he was (blank) years ago'
just kinda an achy sad. cuz idk. I'm almost 30 myself and. maybe it's just me but living in a place for 5 years, having what could be called a life.... doesn't make it home. I've lived where I am since 2013 and I still wouldn't call it my home. yes, I have friends and a job, but my heart's not here. I miss my home state so much, the place I grew up in, the trees, the dumb lil stores... Yeah I'm sure it's changed, but if I could go back, I would.
as for age, I feel like as we get older, we change far less over time. you figure yourself out, develop your patterns. and Ingo clearly remembers his patterns unconsciously. while he will change from his time in hisui, I don't think it's as much as we assume
plus, man, when you get older time fucking SPEEDS UP. not even joking. five years is NOTHING, it will pass in the blink of an eye. I'm pretty sure my mom passed away like 4-5 years ago but it only feels like 2 years in the grand scheme
I just wish we had a lil more happy to offset the sad,
(vrchat)
only one way to find out whos the real ingo
the continuation of what happened in this post
A losing battle with whether or not I should leave my drawing up-
He's... not sure.
More Distortion Guide AU scribbles. It's both fun and infuriating working with a space where there's Not Much Gravity.
I am now suspicious too. I wonder if their suit colors also reflect train colors.
In the main games, their regular uniforms are just black and white to fit the theme of the games they're from. But I'm convinced with Masters EX.
Again, the E5. Compare Emmet’s EX:
And now, the E6:
Compare Ingo’s EX:
I've had my suspicions about this since sometime in August last year. I'm actually fairly sure I'm right, but there's no way to confirm it, so.
I’m not sure about their new Masters EX alts, but I’m going to look into that and see what I can sort out!
What’s it for? yeah.
Ingo
Confirmed Canon Information
- Bad at facial expressions but good as vocal expressions (his face looks very neutral even when he sounds excited)
- Speaks very loudly, has no indoor voice
- While this is more obvious in the Japanese games, Ingo speaks in a overly polite/formal way
- Yells “BRAVO” when anything smth he finds exciting happens
- Left handed
Manga Depiction
- Appears to be easily frustrated when losing battles
- Emmet’s impulse control through brute force, will simply grab and remove Emmet when he’s being too abrasive
- Repeats the name of the trains destinations in the speaker after Emmet does the first announcement. Maybe this is just a thing trains do but it’s important to me.
- More expressive than in the games (not by a large margin)
Pokemon Masters
- Seems to have an overbearing sense of responsibility(?)
- Hisui is not the first time he’s been transported into a different universe for unexplained reasons.
- Does not seem to be aware that his face doesn’t show the emotions he’s feeling.
- Most of his conversations are about trains and rail systems.
Emmet
Confirmed Canon Information
- His face is always very expressive but he speaks in a monotone way ( he will look very excited and yet talk in a very neutral way)
- While this is more obvious in the Japanese games, Emmet speaks in a more informal way than his brother
- Gets very serious while battling
- Right handed
- Starts the majority of his sentences with “I am Emmet”
- Says “very” as “verrrry”
- Likes winning more than anything else
- Prefers double battles
Manga
- Will loudly announce he is going to eavesdrop on your conversation as he walks towards you
- This depiction of Emmet appears to generally be louder and more energetic
- Does this weird stiff walk a lot
- Mainly does the location announcements on the train speakers. Idk how you call them.
Pokemon Masters
- Really looks up to Ingo
- Prefers the rules of a double battle
- Puts a great deal of importance on safety
- Seems to have a thing with combinations; he states multiple times that he loves combinations when it comes to pokemon battles and takes great interest in the sync pairs system.
- Mentions Ingo a lot
- Considers him and Ingo as “each other’s closest rivals”
XI
If Ink was real, what would be his nationality?
sorry
he's just sleeping.
To continue my dumb ideas about our lovely but idiotic subway boss twins, Ingo and Emmet: In the modern era, they were best known in the population not for their Pokémon skills or roles as the heads of transportation in Nimbasa, but as social media stars.
It started with Elesa showing them videos on Youtube or the Pokémon equivalent which are basic train videos and what not, and Elesa asks them if they want to make a safety video that's cool, because these basic bitches in Kalos can't do it for shit. Emmet and Ingo, looking at the combination of trains, safety, and their patented brand of chaos, agree.
The video is actually super informative on train safety, but it's also incredibly chaotic. Emmet does most of the voice over because his deadpanned tones just set the mood that it's a normal video, and meanwhile the scene described is pure chaos.
"Make sure to secure your bags to your person while on the move." Emmet, over the top says. It pans to Elesa, who has a ton of bags around her from shopping, but, as the train starts, the bags all fly towards the back. Ingo, who just stepped in the car, is instantly KOed by them.
"Make sure to stay behind the yellow lines on the platform until the train comes to a stop." It shows Emmet standing in front of the line as Ingo is directing traffic. Emmet falls on the tracks due to his Archeops crashing into him, but, just as it seems like the train is going to hit him, it's revealed to be Chandelure pretending to be an engine on the tracks.
They even do videos specific to battle train safety. "Please make sure that you are on a certified Battle Boss Subway locomotive when visiting Nimbasa! Only those are certified for Pokémon battles." It then pans to Ingo and Emmet facing off against Nate and Rosa. One of them uses a Cryoganal, which proceeds to use Ice Beam, and, from the outside, we see the entire car freeze. The video then rewinds to before the battle, and Ingo points to a sign on the car that says 'not for battle,' so they move to a car that says 'battle car.' Ice Beam is used again, but this time the car has a protective area for trainers and built-in fail safes keep the car in one piece and moving along.
Emmet also occasionally curses out terrible passengers, and SOMEONE doesn't properly edit them out (*ehem*Elesa*ehem*).
Eventually they branch out into random videos. Using Snapchat apps that guess who's your celebrity look alike (and somehow the twins end up with different people and they're like "we're twins???") or videos that Elesa snuck like when it's the Pokémon bath day, and, while some pokemon are gentle and easy... they have a lot of Pokémon that would disagree with water.
(And when Ingo goes missing, Emmet reaches out over social media. Turns out, the internet is the best detectives, because someone finds a picture of what looks like Ingo in a museum and is like "what the fuck??? When did this get here???" and THAT leads to time travel. The international police took a year to find nothing, but one call to the internet and about three weeks, and Emmet was sent a ton of historical records that just... appeared? And he realizes that he's going to need to hunt down a legendary to fix this).
(In the past, Akari is staring SO HARD at Ingo because oh hell this is the social media train influencer and how the hell is she supposed to explain that she knows who he is but only from that one video where he got bodied by a Mincino while discussing trains - he doesn't even know what a phone is!)
Thank god tumblr implemented the shorter posts or else I would’ve been ashamed of making this post so long
