You’re totally allowed to head-canon that. I doubt there are any ways to confirm it completely. I just don’t personally buy it because so many other features are on the correct island

I personally believe that these are more related to the idea of Heiau. While it is located on a mountain, the mountain itself isn’t the main focus. The “altar” is. Heiau are typically located on higher ground and have dedicated purposes, much like these altars.

I think it’s more a family thing. It’s the perfect thing to watch with your family because it’s relatively inoffensive and very heartwarming. It’s a feel good story with amazing acting and writing.
For me and my family, we watched most of it during Covid, where it helped with the depression.

OT 1 and 2 are some of my favorite RPGs ever. They kinda prove that a good jrpg-style game doesn’t need a grandiose story or convoluted characters and development to be good. At its root, the games care about being fun and being stunningly beautiful. They’re games of little moments.

Idk if you think it’s worth it with the switch 2 coming out this year some time, but Mario Odyssey is probably the best 3d platformer ever made. Mario Wonder is one of the best 2D platformers. There are tons of games without the AAA RPG crutch of simply being big

Never played a CRPG, but my first ever RPG was Pokémon Diamond. In terms of a more classic JRPG, the first one I remember playing fully was Dragon Quest IX.
Diamond is pretty bad and surpassed by other Pokemon games, but DQ9 is fantastic and very replayable. I recently replayed it and had a blast.

It’s the game that got me into Kirby. I didn’t really know other Kirby games existed before it. It is a little bit bare bones in terms of level designs, but the overall gameplay also feels sort of quintessentially Kirby too? It’s much better than it gets credit for (and Darach is so fucking cool).

Thank god. I was worried that things were going well for that Nazi son-of-a-bitch.

If you have any more questions or curiosities, I’ll try to do my best to answer. I just love these games and Pokemon so I wanted to massively nerd out as my first real post on Bluesky!. Thanks for reading!

Other than that…I don’t know. As a Native Hawaiian, I was delighted to see all the ways that Gamefreak tried to represent my home as accurately as is reasonable for something like Pokemon. It’s certainly more researched and represented than many other attempts (I’m looking at you, DQXI’s Lonalulu).

The Dancer trainers reference hula dancing. However, they're all female, which isn't true of hula which anyone can dance. They wear leipo'o, or head lei, and kūpe'e, or ankle/wrist lei. I don't think they're perfect representations, but they're serviceable enough.

Alola is an obvious reference to Aloha. Most people think of Aloha meaning hello or goodbye, but it actually means love. Saying Aloha to people is sending your love to them, whether or not they're coming or going. And we don't do a stupid little gesture every time we say it lol.

Malasada are a thing that Hawaiian people love, that’s for sure. Leonard’s is the bakery that is known for making the best ones, but everyone knows some place that supposedly makes them better than Leonard’s. They’re technically a Portuguese baked good, but they've become an emblem of Hawaii.

Culturally, a lot of language things are semi-appropriate. Acerola calls Nanu uncle, despite them not being related. That’s a very common thing in Hawaii where anyone who’s older and you respect you would call Auntie or Uncle. Hau calls Hala Tutu, which is Hawaiian for grandparent.

Solgaleo and Lunala are appropriate because the sun and moon were both important symbols for Ancient Hawaiians, but that’s technically true of every culture. They don’t have Hawaiian influence in their names, probably because they aren’t natively from Alola.

Tapu Fini’s name references fins, cause it’s a fish. The Ruins of Hope should reference the last god, Kanaloa, the counterpart of Kāne. He is the god of salt water and voyaging. The Ruins’ location on the coast makes total sense, and I guess to journey that far you would need hope.

Tapu Bulu’s name references a bull pretty obviously. The Ruins of Abundance reference Lono. Lono is the counterpart of Kū. He is god of peace and also agriculture, as peace times were great for farming. It makes it even funnier that the Ruins of Abundance are in a desert.

Tapu Lele’s name references the hawaiian word for butterfly, pulelehua. However, funnily, lele also means flight. Tapu Lele is found in the Ruins of Life, which reference Kāne. Kāne is the ancient Hawaiian god of life and fresh water.

Tapu Koko’s name references the Hawaiian onomatopoeia for a rooster’s crow. Its home, The Ruins of Conflict, references Kū. Kū is the ancient Hawaiian god of war, and he is typically represented by feathered warriors.

The Island Guardians all start their name with Tapu, which is a Hawaiian word meaning forbidden or sacred. They also share the colors of the islands, but they also reference the four main gods of Hawaiian religion.

Jangmo-o’s line has the Hawaiian word for lizard in the second part of their names, mo'o. They replace the glottal stop, called an ‘okina in Hawaiian, with a hyphen though. Hakamo-o also references the Māori form of dance that you might have seen them do before rugby, the haka.
