AAaA Frigg 5
I didn’t even try to give notes about this one. Flo (represented in her former identity in the last panel here) will always be more qualified than I to talk about Pokémon. I’m a little ahead of Frigg in my knowledge of the creatures, but not much.
Still, in the name of quality annotation, I’ve done some quick research… and most of these, you could probably have figured out a connection yourself with limited knowledge. Munccino is hard to beat for cuteness, it’s like Pikachu refined even further. The next three have connections to “hacks” and blades, leaves, and dust, respectively. Aegislash matches a shield, Scipio’s primary weapon. Delphox has a magic wand. Medicham has some similarity to Rachel’s powers, particularly the way they come from deep meditation.
I know Flo was counting it a life goal to get Pokémon into Guilded Age somehow, so thanks for doing all that visual research, Jason!
(Oh, you can just change the name of the tag and that change applies to all pages, well, that’s convenient)
My Pokemon team building strategy is the same as Bandit’s.
Leafeon is a good one, all right
I know next to nothing about Pokemon, but I Googled Dusclops and found out that it’s a Ghost-type Pokemon that “seeks drifting will-o’-the-wisps and sucks them into its empty body.” I suspect that’s why it was chosen for Gravedust, rather than any connection to dust.
Yeah, that makes more sense…
And it’s all bandages like Gravedust’s hands. This pokemon was such a perfect match, haha!
There is Eevee, and those other, lesser, Pokemon.
Does that mean, by definition, that when Eevee evolves it’s a step down?
Well, good on Phil for changing her name. It was extremely incongruous a few weeks ago, and I felt it was wont to cause some unwanted attention in the current climate.
So… what Pokemon would Frigg actually use?
Required pedantic comment. Not sure when this comic was drawn, as Dunkin’ dropped “Donuts” from their name back in September of 2018. The more you know…
That’s not the only thing in that panel that’s different now…
(And the date at bottom right is 2014.)
Nerds who’ve played Smash Bros will likely point out that Frigg, as a Tank, would likely run with Lucario. It’s a fighting-type that gets stronger the more damaged or behind in the match it gets.
It’s my personal favorite :)
