She hates the attention that Blake is giving her. She didn't want to go to the school, she doesn't want to use the pokedex or pokeballs because she has been told all her life that these are wrong. I'm not sure yet how I feel about Whitley. The pre-teen wish fulfillment is strong with this one. Side note: I am far too familiar with Whitley's butt cheeks for my own personal comfort.Īlso, Blake is a clear cut Gary Stu character, more so than any other Pokemon protagonist we've seen so far. Well, it's possible the publishers are pushing him to draw them like that because that's what they think 8-12 year old boys (the straight ones) will want to see, buuuuut I highly doubt it. In the authors note, Yamamoto claims that he finds it difficult to draw Blake because he (Yamamoto) is not "good with the ladies" himself, and it's clear why if this is the kind of behavior associated with being "good with the ladies." Also from the way he draws girls and women, he is clearly objectifying them. He's supposedly "good with the ladies," but really he's just harassing Whitley, and shamelessly flattering the other girls in the class. I'm already slightly failing because I finished this book days ago and started a new one already, but here I go. The summarizing does help me remember what happened and with what I want to say about this or that event, but it also takes me about 5 million years to finish. Okay, from now on in Pokemon reviews, I'm really going to try to complete them in a timely manner and stop summarizing.
