I LIKE THIS!! I like your thinking and now that I think about it half a year later you're right !!! I love Nemona to death and think I said still has truth to it but you are SOOOOOO right and that's one of the main criticisms I have with SV at times actually.

In honor of Nemona's "birthday" (her reveal day was June 1st last year), I want to remind everyone of a part of her characterization that people seem to miss again.

The thing about her story is that so much of it is in the details. Things like how she's worried about "coming off too strong", how other students like Arven and the Team Star grunts from the tutorial treat her, how Geeta and Clavell seem to worry about her, how she intentionally avoids talking about her parents and specifically points out how "nice" your mother is, the way she completely curls up and visibly worries when you say no to her questions about becoming Champion.

The main thing about these details is that they reveal that Nemona's interest in battling isn't the *whole* reason why people are turned away by her and she is so lonely. For others to accept her, she has to not just hold back in battle, she has to hold *herself* back, to hide her "true self" and her energy and to be somebody she is definitely not just to get people to not immediately leave. This is a painful thing for her to do, and it results in her having nobody she can truly confide in, nobody she can share her interests with or just open up to without being rejected. She's stuck in a vicious cycle where when she inevitably slips up by opening up a little or putting her social difficulties on display she's alone again, and her only choice is to put the mask back on again until she slips up and is left alone again, and she couldn't do much to change that until the player came around. It's also why she seems to have such intense abandonment issues and kind of latches onto the player, you are pretty much her only shot at finally being able to connect with somebody.

And, because battling is such a big part of Nemona's life, talking about battling is how she expresses those feelings. So for her, battling in an "all-out" way is how she communicates this to you, how she tells you that she can trust that you won't leave her when she puts her fears and flaws and odd little quirks on display, an expression of her true, authentic self that she doesn't have to hide anymore because for once, someone didn't leave.

I think this has already been said already, but I've seen too many people claim battling was her only motivation and personality trait, and it's just...blegh. Pokémon players shouldn't be so afraid of reading into stories of the games.

#the 'nemona wrote this' tag too HDJSJAKSJSKKBKM #maybe i should take a crack at modifying Nemona's teams a bit and post it

wxs hcs: emu has the strongest immune system known to man you can count the amount of times she’s gotten sick her entire life on one hand. rui on the other hand has the worst immune system. the lack of vegetables comes for him eventually. he gets sick pretty often but its usually “not that bad” (bad enough that he would have the right to stay home but its rui kamishiro we’re talking about he is not taking care of himself. i think he would take that opportunity to skip during middle school though) so he manages. sometimes he becomes a sickly victorian child on its last days though. nene is only a bit better bc she eats her vegetables and does not have the million deficiencies i know rui does. tsukasa also rarely gets sick. not as little as emu but he’s very germ conscious and eats well so its still pretty rare of him. also the kind of guy to push through it anyway and have to be dragged to bed.

I've gotta say that there is no better achievement as a neurodivergent person than hyperfixating on a character for so long that you are known as "the 'insert character name here' person"
