Nurse Joy Character Ask 1

I haven’t done too much taking my Near Pokédex versions of Pokémon and pairing them up with established characters from the original franchise. A couple of the trainers in that series resemble characters loosely, but really there’s no named human characters from that universe. I figured our resident Nurse Joy might get something out of comparing these more anthro/human Pokémon to the ones she knows, and decided to take that route in answering this question.

Noah Kaiba Vanguard

I can’t remember if I’ve mentioned it before, but Yu-Gi-Oh is a series I primarily watched through proxy. While I did read the manga for a while, as it appeared in my Shonen Jump magazines while I was subscribed, the anime I saw mostly due to one of my siblings being into it. I think at some point my schedule changed so that I wasn’t around as consistently while they watched it, though, as I don’t remember later seasons nearly as well as the early arcs. By the time Noah was around, I only saw bits and pieces of the series. So I have some idea of who he is and what he was getting up to with his little virtual world, but just barely. Regardless, a Vanguard tier Subscriber wanted to see him as part of their reward, so here he is.

Kipo Oak Character Ask 1

So I’ve had this notion in my head for a while now that Kipo would make naturally good friends for both Yuji and Corey separately. I won’t get into the reasons for either, but I see them as relatively platonic pals who can hang out together (although I’d say the same for Yuji and Nobara, and they still fuck, so I’m not saying that’s off the table). Kipo’s obviously way too young for Corey, but I still think they’d make good pals. I’ve mentioned this in passing a few times, so I expect the anticipated answer was something along these lines.
