Masaaki Iwane drew Lance today. I’m not particularly interested in a potential battle with him when Iris, Alain, and Cynthia are in the running. I’m curious how they plan to handle the battles amongst the M8, however.

And some old art for Gates to Infinity via the UK Twitter for the 9th anniversary of the game over in Europe!

Tbh, the only thing I still vividly remember about this PMD was this:

Masaaki Iwane drew IrisandEmolga! I know she’s a Champ too, but I was pretty surprised to see her in the Masters 8 after her loss to Ash earlier. She climbed thru the ranks fast

We also have the announcement of the Ground-type Gear event, starting May16:

Also, well, he was Masters 8:

Masaaki Iwane drew Alain today. From the sound of it, more art is upcoming! (Man, I really can’t wait till we get a proper appearance for him tho! The Flare arc was my favorite villain arc in the anime and one of the coolest arcs overall, so it’d be extremely hype if we got flashbacks for it!)

I mean, I wouldn’t be against a Trip return, maybe give him a little something more and have him challenge Iris. (He’s perhaps the least memorable of Ash’s major rivals, probably since he got majorly shafted in the League.)
