That Time You Could Date In Pokemon

There is one actual romantic sidequest in Pokemon games, that involves another character falling in love with the player character, and this story unfolds in Pokemon Black 2 and White 2. But there is a secret underlying message to this story that involves the tragedies of love and stardom that remains unexplored.

Fun fact: Did you know that after trading with Yancy/Curtis, you can sometimes check a TV and they'll be on an interview in their idol persona, and the Pokémon you traded them will be mentioned? I can't say for Curtis, but for Yancy, she'll say it was given to her by a precious friend.

[foxgamer_foxmusic]

They might be celebrities
But little do they know
I was THE Riolu kid from the movies

[chaincat]

It's because of idol culture. They can't publically date because people need to believe they could date them. They can't have friends outside of work because their fans are supposed to be the most important. In a way, they're so starved for affection that they're willing to date someone they only know over the phone. It's sad.

[this_name_is_taken]

My headcanon is that after you became a celebrity yourself (by saving Unova, became a Champion and became a famous actor yourself), Yancy/Curtis also public their *friendship* with you.

[RelicSongMel]

As a certified Curtis/Yancy fan of several years now, thank you for doing these characters justice. It’s so rare that I even see them brought up, and you’ve delved into their nuances beautifully—I couldn’t have said any of it better myself. Great video my guy!

[WhiteCresentKnight]

If Japanese idol culture is also a factor they probably aren’t allowed to publicly date without a disguise either.

[kizo_wotw]

Yancy: Hugh, do you want to watch a movie together?
Hugh: I'd love to! What do you have in mind?
Yancy: Lucarioman! I've heard it's been very popular lately, they say the actor is a rookie, but he acts like he was born for the role.
Hugh: ...
Yancy: Are you okay? Your face is red.

Yancy in the ferris wheel: Calm and happy

Curtis in the ferris wheel: W rizz

[joopvanhedel]

Since Rosa is kind of the mascot of Pokemon Master EX, it would be cool to see those two in Pokemon Master EX

[DustinGuidroz]

Sapphire and Ruby are a couple in the Pokémon Adventures manga.

[phoenixshadow]

So Yancy and Curtis are idols.
There's a million Oshi No Ko jokes that can be made out of this.

[kpopforthesoul]

If you turn on the tv in the game when you trade pokemon with them, they’ll say that it’s form a precious or special friend. From what I remember they also get interviews about their love life and they blush on tv, I think they even write a song about you. At least Curtis did when I played lol. It’s been a long time since I’ve played BW2

[theknightwithabadpictotall]

I thought the title was gonna be clickbait but...I was pleasantly surprised. You made me have a new opinion on this "sidequest", if that's an appropirate title for it. I think I like it even more now.

[raymondportis]

Pokémon is probably resisting every urge to become a dating sim like Persona or fire emblem.

[diegovillanova]

In Pokemon Masters Ex Victor gave an applin to Mallow for the Valentine's Day event, which symbolizes romantic interest according to a Galarian NPC.

[kylethomas]

For a moment I thought they were part of the villain organization, but this is somehow more tragic.

6:15 "I've been too busy and sleep-deprived lately" 💔💔💔
also, do you guys think in possible (good) remakes, gamefreak would change yancy's favorite type from normal to fairy and make her the unovan fairy-type specialist since unova lacks it (and a rock-type specialist). her ace could be togekiss because: the baby form of it is the last pokemon she trades to you and it's a flying type which could represent her flying to other regions.
also also pokemon adventures did yancy REALLY dirty

[tirzahroseroot]

1:06 The answer is Ruby and Sapphire in Pokémon Adventures

[Untitled_Bacon]

Curtis:
Rizz god into the Ferris wheel even he is sick

Yancy:
Calmer and happier

[lasercraft]

Whenever they get around to making a Black and White remake, I hope they continue this quest so it can be fully resolved. I didn't know these characters even existed until today, but I'm so invested in their wellbeing!
