^ In the anime? Seriously? I know nothing about Pokemon so I'm just genuinely surprised an anime would go there, even wink-wink style. Unless this is a pun or something.
This feels kinda rapey--but y'know, the good rapey. None of that emotional trauma and stuff. More like letting a friend bully you into doing something you don't want to do because you know you'll probably be glad you did afterward.
^^ Love Live keeps tiptoeing right up to the line of yuri but I doubt it would ever explicitly go all the way there. They'll give you YuPamu and KeSumi but it'd make for a messy plotline to have idols explicitly dating. You'd be looking at a different kind of drama at that point. Plus it's good for the fandoms to have all their options open.
