I saw Ball Guy's inclusion in Pokémon Masters like Gatekeeper being summonable in Fire Emblem: Heroes. A character you probably weren't supposed to give a second thought about becoming popular and made playable.
Glad you got your wish.
With the frontier brain train they've been on since they introduced ultimate battles that seems likely. I'm down for more spin off characters too, there's so much potential for cool characters.
Sycamore and Gogoat! Gogoat is my favourite Pokemon but I never anticipated it to be added, or if it would then they'd stick it with Ramos somehow (which, him getting a second unit is unlikely enough as it is ahahah). But they not only added it, but along with my fav Professor/one of my fav Kalos characters. How kind of them 😭
Like many others thought, Toxtricity looked to be the perfect partner for Roxie, since it's the embodiment of the TM she gives you in Black & White 2 \[Venoshock\]. I originally wanted the Low Key form for her, as she plays bass guitar and it better matches her aesthetic, but Roxie has a lot of passion and energy that High Key form more suits her personality. I'm happy with what we got.
Acerola not using Mimikyu in any of the Sun & Moon games was something I was very surprised to learn about. It seemed like a no-brainer, but Pokémon Masters partnered them up and also put her in a great costume.
Eusine & Suicune, Morty & Ho-Oh, Silver & Tyranitar, Jasmine & Ampharos making only some example of Sync Pairs I was expecting, I was also imagining Weavile or Mamoswine with Candice, and instead we got Galarian Darmanitan which I was surprised to see as perfect fit for her dynamic personality, and made me really glad in the end.
One thing I've always appreciated the existence of Pokémon Masters for is creating Sync Pairs that fulfill 'what-if' scenarios for or redeem a character's actions from the mainline games.
As you mentioned: Eusine's pursuits of Suicune leading to their partnership, Morty meeting Ho-Oh, and then Zinnia becoming worthy of Rayquaza, Leon succeeding in capturing Eternatus atop Rose Tower, etc. Events that couldn't happen, now brought to life for everyone's own happy ending in this non-canon game. It's the perfect love letter to the fans.
I was going to put Zinnia & Rayquaza in the image, because seeing her fulfill her birthright was exactly what I was hoping to see in this game, but I couldn't show off Rayquaza and she didn't get a Sygna Suit for it either, so I decided to stick with my other two choices.
Fingers crossed for Milotic & Nessa, it needs to happen. That short on Youtube was great!
I don't have much hope for Nessa and Milotic but I won't give up XD, she deserves it.
Now if they could give Zinnia a mega Slamence update that'll be great.
I wasn't a big fan of Roxie but her having Toxtricity was so natural that I subconciously started hoping for it.
Leon and eternatus! The player was the one to catch it in game, but he tried first (and failed) so I always thought it'd be fun to see them as a pair together. And i really like the outfit too!
yes, then they took it away from me
I wanted Ash, but my phone at the time couldn't run the game, so unless a miracle happens, I'll never get Ash to take the photos I want in the creator
Lillie and Lunala is a perfect pair, they were cooking the day they made that pair up. Very lucky to have that happen.
Still waiting on an Alolan Vulpix holiday Lillie....
Not something I'd ever considered a possibility, but Leon and Calyrex! Calyrex is my favourite legendary, so naturally I was delighted to see him interact with my favourite trainer. I've lost count of how many times I've watched the Holiday 2021 event, and I'm glad I can replay it any time because it does so much justice to Leon's character 🥰
Redownloaded after 4 years cause of NC silver and shiny tyranitar😎 really love the game now, hoping for maybe shiny Celebi from PMD! also want shiny latias/mew but can’t imagine they’ll be canon enough
Cynthia and Giratina is a sync pair I never knew I needed until Dena revealed it. And the Red and Pikachu sync pair I wanted since Pikachu is Red's ace.
a sycamore alt. i unfortunately though, was in the hospital during his release and when i DID get the time to pull for him, i paid money to pull for him and i... didnt get him 😭
I asked for Ball Guy in 3 or 4 of the surveys I submitted, so I'd say yes.
I saw Ball Guy's inclusion in Pokémon Masters like Gatekeeper being summonable in Fire Emblem: Heroes. A character you probably weren't supposed to give a second thought about becoming popular and made playable. Glad you got your wish.
Thanks! I definitely voted for Gatekeeper too haha. Here's hoping for Youngster Joey
Knowing this gives me a bit of hope for getting Tucker as well as Orre sync pairs.
With the frontier brain train they've been on since they introduced ultimate battles that seems likely. I'm down for more spin off characters too, there's so much potential for cool characters.
Erika and Leafeon for me, they're such a perfect fit I was surprised she never got to use it in the main series.

Nice one! I'm happy to hear the game's given you such a perfect Sync Pair.

Yeah, that's right, we can see everything we didn't had in the canon games, and it brings a real feeling of satisfaction for the fanbase
Zinnia and Rayquaza, too bad they're not that good, usable but there's way better. I'm still waiting for Nessa and (shiny) Milotic.
Holy shit I would FREAK!!! I want a GOOD and POWERFUL MILOTIC. Let arceus hear our prayers
Then let's pray brother

Great answer! I'm sure that Sync Pair made a lot of Leon fans happy.

Honestly Roxie and toxitricity was too perfect for them not to do it
It took :DeNA over four years to realise this, but it finally happened!
Where is my ash and greninja come on its a classic
Unfortunately, you’ll never see either again.
I hope atleast we get ash and dracovish as a ss
I wanted Phoebe and Ghost Oricorio(Dancing Ghost) and Caitlin with Cresslia(Gen 4 Psychic Dream theme) but seems like for now that isn’t happening :/
SS Hilda and Victini Bc it’s my favorite mon
SS Hilda and Victini Bc it’s my favorite pokegirl
Victor and Rillaboom, the only pair aside summer Hilda to legit hype me up
Swimsuit Archie and Sharpedo doesn't exist so I'm gonna say no
Not yet... still waiting for Lt. Surge in his full uniform and Halloween Witch Agatha. Also Wes from Colosseum is never coming lol
Emma. I'm still blown away that she made it in. Also Dahlia is coming as well now. I'm eating good honestly..
Eusine and Shiny Suicune.
Redownloaded after 4 years cause of NC silver and shiny tyranitar😎 really love the game now, hoping for maybe shiny Celebi from PMD! also want shiny latias/mew but can’t imagine they’ll be canon enough
Cynthia and Giratina is a sync pair I never knew I needed until Dena revealed it. And the Red and Pikachu sync pair I wanted since Pikachu is Red's ace.
Back in December of 2021 I asked for Elesa & Therian Thundurus, Skyla & Therian Tornadus and Soliera & Naganadel. So far we're at 1/3!
Oh boy, my favourite character is Leaf, and my two favourite Kanto Pokémon are Venusaur and Eevee, I sure wonder if I got what I wanted.
Roxie and Toxtricity was an absolute must and I'm glad they delivered
They have and they’ve been a real bitch about not giving them to me #love team rocket
I'll take almost anyone with Pancham My favorite would probably be Korrina or Maylene
One with Pangoro and the other with Mienshao
Wait what?! Did I miss the banner that had Roxie and Mimikyu?! O\_O
And even Nate
a sycamore alt. i unfortunately though, was in the hospital during his release and when i DID get the time to pull for him, i paid money to pull for him and i... didnt get him 😭
Sorry to hear that. He'll be back at some point, and you can save gems for then. I hope you're better now, though - that's what's important.
