Spoiler:
Iono was officially revealed in an official Pokémon YouTube upload! She's an electric type gym leader and streamer, and appears to be based on a v-tuber. What do you guys think - cute or no?
She was cute until I saw the razor teeth. I kinda like the oversized jacket look and her cotton candy hair. It's just the teeth that look ridiculous.
I wonder if they will release a trailer in other regions. She's your typical cutesy hyper anime character, but I'm curious how that translates over to other audiences.
The whole trailer as far as I'm concerned was "heres a new gym leader ok bye". disappointed
I feel like people aren't seeing exactly what this trailer likely is. For the last two months, we have been getting teasers of a new pokemon and then within the week or the week after, they reveal a new pokemon. They have done this for two months and they did it with Hisuian Zorua and Zoroark.
They set this trailer up to be exactly like that, but in a different form of a Vtuber given us hints and fact about a new pokemon. She says guess before my next stream which likely means Friday or sometime next week.
The only mistake there was is the fact that they announced it a day before. If there hadn't been a single announcement, I don't think people would have mind and would expect the reveal at a later date.
i like fanged bokuto girls so I'm winning
Although, she's definitely either an avatar for a v-tuber, or just in costume tbh. I don't doubt Pokemon would hop on the vtuber train even if she's in a video game world.
(I don't even like vtubers btw).
