I know I said yesterday I would let the dust settle on SV before I post about it, but one line of dialogue caught me so off guard I just had to post it.
After you rematch Iono in the postgame, she says something to the effect of "I'm trending like the Internet is mad at me!"
Considering this game's unfair user review-bombed reception (SV are the lowest user-rated games in the series which is ridiculous), I have a feeling this was snuck in by a genre savvy staff member at the last minute. It's the biggest "DANG, BOYEEEEEEE" moment I've ever seen in a game. Whether it was oddly predicting the backlash to SV or simply poking fun at SWSH's Dexit reception, I find the line absolutely hysterical that I immediately paused the game and breathlessly got my computer to post about it. 10/10 satire.
By the way, Iono in general is an amazing character. The fact that a Pokemon streamer exists in the game in such a tongue-in-cheek fashion is just inherently absurd in the best way and I can't get enough of it. Ionio is my friendo.
