I've seen so much Submas fanart in my life, I can tell Anime, Special, Masters and Game Ingo and Emmet apart without labels. Also 'American' Ingo and Emmet, but they don't count


🚂Trainrot🚃
Example:


🚂Trainrot🚃
Ingo with the mask is Anime Ingo, and the Emmet cleaning is Anime Emmet (Anime Ingo is shown as more chipper/smiling and Anime Emmet always is stressed)

🚂Trainrot🚃
The Ingo cleaning with Anime Emmet is Game Ingo (and the Emmet throwing stuff is Game Emmet)

🚂Trainrot🚃
The Ingo and Emmet in the BG eating are Masters Ingo and Emmet, they are usually seen together and both are a little more relaxed than the others (not counting Special Ingo and Emmet)

🚂Trainrot🚃
Who are the ones with the :3 faces

🚂Trainrot🚃
American them are blonde with sharp teeth and messy hair. Lemme find a picture

🚂Trainrot🚃
trying to find a picture of American Ingo and Emmet that isn't Blankshipping, which is surprisingly hard!

🚂Trainrot🚃
Wait no, not really, considering I think a part of the reason Ingo and Emmet were so big in Japan were in part because of the Fujoshis.

time stranger
this is. very funny

time stranger
the hardmode of pokemon continuity distinction i think.

🚂Trainrot🚃
its like Raven vs crow vs rook vs jackdaw, but once you know it- you wont forget

🚂Trainrot🚃
It just really gets hard when people draw Anime Ingo and not color him in.

🚂Trainrot🚃
Because then he could be easily mistaken for Game or Masters Emmet

🚂Trainrot🚃
Ok a black and white picture of American Ingo and Emmet:


🚂Trainrot🚃
And I love how 'Emmet fights Arceus to get Ingo back' isn't just an American thing either:

I'm afraid of American Submas

🚂Trainrot🚃
I fear them too.

The Sun Rises
what... what is an american submas

The Sun Rises
are they not already pokemon americans

🚂Trainrot🚃
Ok, so 'American' Submas were pretty much designed as a more aggressive Submas, there is also German/Nordic ones who tend to be drawn paler.

🚂Trainrot🚃
Like take cliched American Subway Worker tropes and apply it to Submas

🚂Trainrot🚃
While G/A/M/S tends to be drawn cuter/closer together

🚂Trainrot🚃
Meanwhile, if you pay attention to Unovan culture it is like...Japanese-Flavored New York (Including having TV shows that teach Japanese/tables in homes being low on ground with cushions, Submas Point and Call being the more Japanese Style v American)

The Sun Rises
AH so it's kind of like the 2P trend

The Sun Rises
gotcha

🚂Trainrot🚃
2P trend?

The Sun Rises
AH it's a really old Hetalia thing - alternate colors of the characters with a more aggressive disposition. Probably not the exact same but it sounds similar

The Sun Rises
I. never really paid it much mind when I bopped around that fandom, didn't really care for it

𝕔𝕠𝕤𝕞𝕠𝕤 ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆
I don't understand why being American (through Japanese eyes) makes them blonde and also have sharp teeth

The Sun Rises
Blond tends to be the default for Western in Japanese pop culture, I think

The Sun Rises
sharp teeth though???? no clue

🚂Trainrot🚃
My Theory is to 'other' them more from the main four.
