I'm still figuring out what Daniel's going to end up like. For most of my world sacrifices (the last Pokemon left in the file before you reset the game), they remember dying and then being brought back when you recapture them. On my Soul Silver team, Daniel is still figuring it out. I realized that, because I caught him in the Slowpoke Well, he's been personally victimized by Team Rocket (in both game files), and I think he's more aware of that than he is of the entire world getting reset. We just finished up Team Rocket's siege of Goldenrod City, and that means we had the second battle with Proton, the Rocket Executive who was down there in the well cutting off tails. Daniel recognized him, and that was the most alert I think the kid's ever been. So that's why I decided he has the little growing-back tail nub. He feels pain on a delay but that doesn't mean he doesn't remember it. Some time soon I'll have to talk to him about how he experienced the file reset.
I included a little drawing of Daniel with Danson, a Bayleef, the starter from the original file. Daniel is named after that file's OT, and that file's Pokemon (there are only five of them) think of him as being their responsibility to protect. Those Pokemon are sitting in my Platinum cartridge until we beat the E4, and in the meanwhile, my current Soul Silver team thinks of Daniel as being their kid to raise. He has two families in two worlds who care about him. Maybe I'll transfer them back in so that Daniel can explore postgame Kanto with them?
(Side note, the starter from Edmond's original file is a Swampert named Edson, and the two don't really know how to feel about each other. That Emerald file was complete, as opposed to Daniel's Soul Silver which was abandoned after one badge. Edson's bond with his original trainer would be much stronger than anything he could form with some new legacy character I offer to him. Edmond doesn't like to think about it, and avoids being around Edson.)

Do you have any opinions in Daniel's couples? Like Dan and Seb. Dan and Jenson. Dan and Lando. Dan and JEV. Dan and ??? If not, it's ok
here's my Dan/Jenson thoughts
I've never read dan/seb but I can definitely see it... daniel having a teammate he could be Friends with instead of being in the older brother position?? and sebastian has chemistry with anything that breathes...
only *I* understand the perfect dando dynamic everyone else gets it wrong. no I will not elaborate.
who the heck is JEV man I just got into f1 yesterday 😭😭😭
I also quite like Daniel/Charles, Dan peer pressuring Charl in Vegas and they do coke off a model's boobs and they're grinding at the club but in a straight girls sticking to each other to be stronger in numbers sort of way. and maybe they get back to the hotel and make out while both of them are thinking of Max but for different reasons, then they apply face mask and order expensive room service and sleep in.
Daniel/Cyril??? i can see that French man willing to do Anything to keep Daniel in Renault....... wine AND dine and treat him right... and that's sort of the loved up he needs...
Daniel/Lewis after doing shrooms at a music festival. they'd be on the same wave length and loosen up from their usual f1 related woes, it's light and happy and floaty...... Daniel laughing into Lewis' asking if he's also seeing a racetrack in the stars and Lewis going 'you're crazy, man, oh my god there's the hairpin'
I hate to say it but I think Lance/Daniel works in a weird way, cause Lance has all that cocky self assuredness that Daniel feigns to have... that's reminiscent of Max, but has none of his accomplishments that makes Dan insecure. and they're partying around the same circles so it would be easy to slip away.
Daniel and his one engaged bestie is compelling too but I don't think Dan would ever do anything about it (coward), unless they're all in Montana and in the water shirtless and rules don't apply there if you're touching for too long if he's pushing you into the water.
and in my heart of hearts, after 2016 AD when Nico won and Daniel made him do a shoey at the Amber Lounge they hooked up for the first and last time <3 this would explain the extreme former hookup turned friends awkwardness in the nico/dan podcast but also dan being the only current still in f1 driver to agree to do it??? maybe felt like he owed him one after the sloppy bj which he didn't reciprocate

Michael Schur created the Good Place and just released a book on philosophy, particularly the teachings he found the most interesting. The audiobook has him as the main narrator, but Todd May (professional philosopher) and the main cast of the show also read for it. I'm not far at all in it, barely chapter two, but I can tell you this: Ted Danson needs to do more voice work.
And evil laughter
