The “Pokemon Go” panel also teased a number of updates to the app we’ll hopefully see in the future indeed, according to Kotaku, the game is currently at about 10 percent of what Niantic wants it to be. Diversity matters, even in things that seem kind of trivial. Again, there’s still a lot of work to do - but it’s a start.
#SPARK BLANCHE AND CANDELA SKIN#
Admittedly the skin tone options for the Trainer avatars in “Pokemon Go” still leave rather much to be desired - not dissimilar to, say, a lot of makeup lines, many players have commented that the darkest options are still disappointingly light - but it’s worth noting not only that the teams feature women prominently in leadership positions, but also that they feature a woman of color prominently in a leadership position. They remained faceless and sans detail, with only their basic outlines and an association with their team’s color (red for Valor, blue for Mystic, and yellow for Instinct) to guide us in our choice.Īs I noted once before, I’m thrilled that two of the three team leaders are women furthermore, now that we know what they all look like, I’m also extremely pleased about the fact that they’re not all white.
Up until now, when you’ve been presented with your team choices, you were told a little bit about each one - Team Valor values fierceness in battle, Team Mystic takes an analytical approach to studying Pokemon, and Team Instinct runs by, well, instinct - and introduced to the team leaders… sort of: Candela, who leads up Team Valor, Blanche, head of Team Mystic, and Spark, who runs Team Instinct, appeared only in silhouette. Heck and yes.įor the uninitiated, here’s the deal: Once your “Pokemon Go” Trainer reaches level five - which you do by amassing XP, or Experience Points - two new features of the game open up to players: You can join a team, and you can fight in gyms. I mean, yes, it was kind of a given that they’d be cool… but you guys? They’re really, really cool. And you know what? they’re pretty dang cool. But hey, guess what? The mystery has finally been solved! The design of each of the leaders for Team Valor, Team Mystic, and Team Instinct were revealed for the first time at the end of Sunday’s “Pokemon Go” panel at San Diego Comic-Con and subsequently tweeted out from the official “Pokemon Go” Twitter account. Summary: Candela is a huge sweetheart and we should all love her even more.Ever since “Pokemon Go” launched, players have been staunchly declaring their loyalties to their pick of the three teams you can join once you reach a high enough Trainer level - even though we haven’t actually known exactly what the “Pokemon Go” team leaders look like. Maybe he’s still a big softie, inclined to show affection physically or something instead, or still verbally affectionate but simply more serious on the job than fanon portrays him to be? (cough it’s not hard he’s mostly shown as incompetent/putting no effort into it cough) Sure, Spark’s still really friendly, and sensitive about how he phrases things, but he doesn’t praise the Pokemon as much as Candela, or is as warm when he says goodbye. Take care!Ĭandela’s farewell is so cute I cry. Spark: Your is a little small for its kind, don’t you think?Ĭandela: Hope I was able to help.
Spark: Overall, your has room for improvement as far as battling goes.Ĭandela: Aww, what a small ! It’s rather cute, I’d say. Spark: Overall, your is really strong!Ĭandela: Overall, your may not be great in battle, but I still like it! Just look at their responses to:Ĭandela: is a strong Pokemon. It’s nice to see the compassionate side of her represented more, as much as I love the whole thing.
#SPARK BLANCHE AND CANDELA UPDATE#
Just wanted to point this out because fanon makes Spark out to be the one to do this! I’m basing this on the dialogue from appraisals implemented in update 0.35.0. Candela’s actually the most verbally affectionate
