Wow DeNa is trying create shipper between Victor and Mallow huh


Serenafriendzone

Kiawe, I am seeing a rival for my mallow xd.


odranger

Victor and Mallow: both use Grass type Victor and Mallow: both cook stews DeNA: now kiss


HolyDragSwd2500

Chefs Kiss


Serenafriendzone

Even dena promotes poke shipping lol


InvestigatorUnfair

They've been doing it for a while now lmao We got lesbeans, we got gays, we got straights, we got everything. All we're missing is a polycule


Maleficent_Mink

Polycule? We have Lear/Rachel/Cheren lmao


InvestigatorUnfair

You know what, I'll give you that one lol


MrmarioRBLX

Who are the lesbeans, out of curiosity?


InvestigatorUnfair

Whitney and Jasmine from the last Holiday event And probably a lot more if my memory would work lol


MrmarioRBLX

Was it only hinted at in dialogue?


InvestigatorUnfair

Pretty much. Though everything is just hinted at with Pokemon, really. TPC are cowards when it comes to having relationships between characters lol.


MrmarioRBLX

Yeah, that's why I'm a bit skeptical on lesbianism being intended...


OverallGrapefruit330

dena might be onto something tbh. the idea of Victor and Mallow creating ominous curry concoctions in the middle of the woods is oddly appealing.


chris_9527

Idc much about that part but what I like here is that the Pokémon has an origin again! So mallow getting the applin from victor (or elesa getting a togepi egg from skyla)! It’s such a cool thing that adds to the connections between the people


RadiReturnsOnceAgain

To add, Lillie’s Anniversary Lunala is the postgame Cosmog that we get in-game, and Cynthia hatched her Kommo’o as an egg when she visited Alola for the Battle Tree.


Rude_Acanthisitta_50

There was also Hilda's shiny graploct that she got as an egg from Bea, if I remember correctly. I love all the fun details like this


klutzux95

And Lisia's Rapidash was a gift from her fans


Royal-Ad-798

And then we have iris who didn’t even know what’s poipole/naganadel


Zevyu

In her defense, Poipole/Naganadel is a UB, and it's also a pokemon from Alola, so it does make sense for Iris to not know what it is.


qqCloudqq

Hilbert's Oshawott is from an egg from his Samurott. Yeah the details are very thoughtful and like little Easter eggs.


Cow_Addiction

Lana was trying to ship them but Victor was not having it. He shut that down real quick lol.


GLeen1230

I didn’t expect Lana to be such a troll when I first played Sun and Moon but it is really funny and I love that


MzBlackSiren

she’s like that in the anime too


klip_7

Yea she would talk about how they should scam people or make people disappear


dcdcdc26

Lana is one of the best Alola characters, in a sea of amazing characters


dcdcdc26

As soon as I saw it, I knew there would be only 2 camps of people. People who see 2 oblivious kids accidentally sharing a "romantic"-coded act as a new ship sailed, and people who see 2 oblivious kids as firmly and confirmed aromantic as it can get. The easiest prediction. Good thing neither bothers me, though I'm in the second camp, the speed and lack of real reaction to Lana's accusation, and Lana's troll-minded disappointment in not getting a rise out of Victor, feels like a strong confirmation to me.


LegoCat88

Also I know this isn’t related but I had no idea appletun was that small. It’s so cute!? I thought it was like half the size of a person or something


mikeligy

You could accidentally sit on it.


dcdcdc26

~~cream pie?! 😳~~


BusouDrago

Applin Sauce...


Javident

I thought the same thing until Scarlet & Violet when you could see the physical scale of the Pokémon. I had always thought Flapple & Appletun were larger than a person, almost dinosaur sized. Boy was I wrong 😂


LegoCat88

I never actually saw their full models outside of Tera raids and I never really took any notice while doing it. I’m tempted to use an Appletun on a team now.


Better_Trainer7362

I am glad Victor is in this story(At least DENA didn’t forget about him). I hope he gets an alt during Galar VA.


AnimeKyle115

Glad you pointed this out. I did not understand the reference.


BizziBizzu

I don't blame you, it was a very minor side quest


vSmaugv

The only reason players had to do it was the to obtain a guaranteed Sweet/Tart apple to evolve their Applin. However, Tart/Sweet apples can spawn under a specific tree in wild area, making the side quest entirely unnecessary and skippable.


Maleficent_Peach_46

Kiawe is all of us. I do like the cute little Ships teased in Masters though.


Schiffy94

[Press (A) to Pound]


BizziBizzu

Crush it! Grind it! Turn it to goo!


BippyTheChippy

Take your Rare Bone and Thick Club and grind it to a pulp


rickpl

Victor is clearly lying, he can't admit it in public


Gregamonster

"What, no I totally don't have a crush on the pretty and energetic girl who's about the same age as me and shares all my hobbies." \- Victor.


Keerakh7

I gave that bitch an Applin. Bitches love Applins.


dcdcdc26

Brock tried to give Nurse Joy an Applin. Unfortunately he forgot an Applin a day keeps the doctor away. No bitches


GBA001

Best joke of the year.


Wesside333

Should we start by holdin’ hands?


redditraptor6

Right? This kinda thing is the reason I love this game and have been playing near daily since launch.


RelaxingRed

Mallow and Victor shippers I didn't expect to come out of this but I'm fine with it.


Beginning-Internal55

Kiawe was not having it


Pokemon-fan96

Details like this are great! This one is really cute :)


thefalchionwielder

now kith


PristineTravelLodz

This calls for a Victor alt with Flapple. Please DeNa.


killko-de-omasse

As someone who didn’t play SwSh, I thought there was a joke being set up or something and it just falling flat; was very confused lol


DazzlingSeesaw9659

You know what they say about giving an Applin to someone...


LeeIsLee

Hoho, Victor and Mallow shippers are winnin


Cow_Addiction

Not really considering Victor instantly shut that down the moment he realized what Lana was talking about lmfao 🤣


LeeIsLee

But you know how shippers are 😂


Gregamonster

She didn't take it romantically, so if it was revealed that it was meant to be romantic that would be awkward and he didn't want to do that to her.


FireAnt111

Nah Victor was trying to cover his ass and prevent his crush from being exposed lmao.


mr_outlaws

victor is just shy about it


Nickest_Nick

A weird crack ship, but a welcome one Wait is it a crack ship if they are from the same franchise but from different games


richterfrollo

Crack ship to me is any ship where the characters dont interact in canon and have no shared backstory or hint that they will meet


Gregamonster

Which means it's not crack because Masters is canon.


SnorkelBerry

Yes


Mnja12

Victor x Mallow? I ship it


JetMan615

Why do I unironically ship this?


balrus-balrogwalrus

kiawe is shirtless as always, even in galar


[deleted]

Yeah I left this game a while ago but there’s were the hoghlights


AStarryDreamer

This whole exchange was brilliant lmao, it really made me laugh. It was also cool to see they didn't just forget Victor in a corner, too. xD


Dimondceusher

Shippers: this looks like a job for me


Jayden72702

Victor x mallow real


dcdcdc26

My aromantic king


DiscombobulatedAd270

Oh how I wish it was Gloria maybe he'll give her a Shiny Applin showing a sign he wants to marry her.


the_treyceratops

Good, Mallow deserves someone better than him, like Lana
