  • This play when you are challenging Carmine from the Kitakami Region in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: The Teal Mask.
    To check out their battle, just click on the video cards ("!")
    ---
    Main goal of these video concept ideas:
    My main goal for these kind of videos is to be as creative as possible!
    Let me explain:
    - Firstly, my very first channel Mixeli (But also my latest one Volipok) post tons of Gameplays from Every Generation (Which once again was played and recorded by myself in it's entirety. It took me many years of works.)
    My video have Educational Value and let me explain why: It does provide help to the user who watch the video. One of the few example for that is which musics is played from my gameplays. It could easily be found on video cards (The exclamation mark "!" you see on the video above at the right) and vice versa. (This mean that on this video for example, you could also find my actual battle gameplays of where this music is played)
    - Secondly, My video are transformative enough, I took the time to play the game and recording the musics. I took the time to improve it's original quality using Vegas Pro. Thanks to a program called "Track EQ" that you can find on Vegas Pro.
    This program allow the user to enhance it's original quality and further improving it. This need concentration as each version has different audio quality.
    - Thirdly and as you have noticed: On each Generation, I use different background that I bought on a website called Shutterstock. (Which I have bought at least 336 pictures background, just so I can become as creative as possible and also work on a lot of different style using those background)
    This kind of concept was created by myself since 2011. Today it has become one of the main concept of my channel that I personally created.
    - Lastly is to bring the community together. I have noticed that so many people are commenting and giving their opinions on the video, sharing their experience about characters from the game, confirming theory, saying funny stuff and I find this extremely amazing and interesting! I don't want their comment to be unnoticed so I have plan for the future of my content about commenting and sharing their experience on videos that I will produce one day!
    I think I explained everything now. Enjoy and have a great day!
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    All musics, gameplay and content included within this video are transformative, creative, have educational value and this recording are from my own gameplay. I'm also the one that created that concept video ideas. No copyright infringement is intended.

      I'm still trying to understand how those losers came back to life, honestly. I mean, do Tera Crystals also have healing properties, like Sacred Ash or Berries? It just feels more like the Loser Three were just taking a long nap than that they were dead for years and fully reanimated because some super-powerful mask was waved over their graves. This is probably the only real problem that I have with the DLC.

When he punched the monument, it’s very brief, but you can see a purple glow to his fist. It’s also worth noting that after your battle in front of the last signpost, when he clenches his fist, a weird wobbly, distortion effect happens. It could be that, along with the combination of the teal mask that was in his possession at the time.

An abrasive Mightyena, the two-faced Morpeko, a nurturing yet deadly Leavanny, the elegant yet grudge inflicting Ninetales, and the perfectionist and proper Sinistcha.

    I like how Carmine has the same "dead stare" as Kieran when he loses his mind, makes you think that the relentless battle style runs in the mask maker's family, but she is mature enough not to let it begrudge people who defeat her or making her a mean person. She's intense, but is actually very emotionally wise.

      The best part was how the characters twisted. We expected Kieran to be a normal shy boy rival who learns to gain confidence, but instead he goes full emo and gets wacked out. Carmine goes from the normal jerk rival with an ego to someone very caring and animated, even if she is still a bit full of herself. They did a great job with the characters, and I'm looking forward to the indigo disk.

      It's not that she becomes more acceptable.
      She just doesn't want Kitakami to turn into a tourist trap since most tourists just don't care about the place and just shit it all up, Venice being the best example.
      She stops being so cold towards you the moment she realizes you are not like that and then starts genuinely liking you when you take part in fixing things up around her home town regarding Ogerpon.

    I love how her theme is a mix between friendly and rivalry. I thought her theme would change in her final battle, but the fact that it didn't symbolizes that it wasn't her that changed, it was our perception of her. We were wrong.
    Her theme is both friendly and badass, with a hint of spunk present. This represents Carmine well. She changes slightly, but she was never evil to begin with, just misunderstood.
    Kieran, on the other hand, makes a total 180° and pretty much became obsessed with power. This obsession eventually overpowers his desire for Ogrepon to live the life she wants, making him the real villain in this story. This is why his theme went from "friendly" to "evil team leader". Excellent DLC. Best characters we've seen since N.

    I friggin love Carmine as a character. As someone who comes across as overly aggressive and unkind, i really enjoyed seeing her develop. I don't feel that she's abusive to Kieran, though she is a bit sharp, and there's actually dialogue where Kieran states himself that she's not as bad as she seems. Kieran is phenomenally written as well, as he genuinely unnerves me in the end. It's one thing to be intense and frustrated about other people surpassing you. It's another to express that you don't care about the feelings of the being you claim to love so much. He seems like someone who has had a rough time socially, but has taken it in a rather dark direction, protecting his problems onto Ogerpon and vicariously the player and Carmine as well and seemingly having a very "if you're not explicitly and absolutely with me, you're bullying me" mindset. I can't wait to see how he develops further.

    @gigavoltx8340 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +34

    Gotta appreciate how Carmine's theme sorta indirectly changes in context in contrast to Kieran's in the story:
    Although her theme doesn't change, what initially comes across a more antagonistic theme fitting of what you'd expect of a "jerk" rival turns out to be more chill as you connect more with Carmine and get more context for how she acts, and you realize parts of it resemble more of a "friendly" rival theme .
    This especially becomes more prevalent as her theme begins to contrast with Kieran's more once his theme shifts to a more unfriendly and threatening tone in his final fight.
    Carmine's theme DEFINETELY feels like more of a friendly rival theme in her final fight the day after Kieran's sudden shift.

  • @Arcknives
    @Arcknives 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +43

    If anyone hates Carmine, I wish that you read this comment. It's a long evaluation, though.
    This is my defense for Carmine as a character. I feel bad that, like her brother, she gets judged so quickly by the community.
    She's just entirely misunderstood by the community because people have passed around the "abuser" title. Her crass nature is just a side-effect of how competitive she is. She is also only a teenager (as far as I'm aware.) So of course she's going to act this way; especially if there aren't any parents around to tell her it isn't nice.
    In my eyes, she is not abusive. All she does is say mean things to Kieran and the protagonist, as a teasing older sister usually would.
    She clearly cares for her brother, even in the beginning, trying to apologize as soon as she discovered how it all actually made him feel. She only lied because she wanted to protect him, both from the danger of chasing Ogerpon up a mountain at night, but also to make sure he doesn't try to do a similar thing in the future. She's not trying to control him, she has nothing to gain from that. She admits to feeling bad about lying immediately after he runs off.
    Her lie was completely within reason. At that point she still believed Ogerpon was a rampant menace with three confirmed kills. Sounds pretty dangerous, right?
    On top of that, she knows how badly kieran wants to meet Ogerpon. So subconsciously she's probably thinking of how Kiki might react if his older sister and his new and only friend got to see it before him. He's been obsessing over it for most of his life and then his sister, who doesn't like it, and the protagonist, someone who only entered the region earlier that day, gets to meet with it by chance. Yeah, that'd feel pretty terrible and would make most people feel bad if they missed out.
    And part of the reason that Carmine and the MC didn't tell Kieran about Ogerpon after that is actually because of the grandfather's orders specificlly not to tell him, or anyone.
    She is outraged to hear the true story behind the loyal three, and wants nothing but the best for Ogerpon, which shows off her compassionate side.
    She doesn't try to rub it in when Kieran begs to have custody of Ogerpon. She takes the most sensible approach to calming him down through telling him to consider Ogerpon's feelings (which works, by the way,)
    In the Indigo Disk, she seems to be scared of what he's become, or scared for him. Going silent and shifting her expression to what I can only describe as guilt whenever he talks back to her. But after Kieran's defeat as champion? Her teasing there is much more playful, underscoring that she has learned not to push him after seeing what he can really do.
    By the end of the Teal Mask she actively apologizes to everyone and states that she really enjoyed spending time with them, and looks genuinely dismayed when we have to part ways. Better yet, she acknowledges Kieran's absence in that same scene and looks concerned and uncomfortable when he doesn't show up to say farewell.
    And then, there's the ending of the Indigo Disk where she is so happy Kieran is reforming to his usual self she literally cries out of happiness.
    One of the best-written characters in a good while if you ask me. Not THE best. Of course, but I think she could have been a solid candidate if they actually gave her some kind of arc invloving Kieran and apologizing to him properly. Perhaps she develops some form of anxiety and we see her hair get messier because she's not looking after herself. Blaming herself for everything. Something like that would have gone a long way.
    At the end of the day she has more development than Nemona, which is why I like her *leagues* more than Nemona.
    Kieran would state how much he hates his sister if the abuse was there - something would have slipped from his mouth. He doesn't though. In fact, he even defends her right after we see her yell at him, to make sure we don't assume the worst of her.
    Some people think Carmine is physically abusive, which I think is wrong. She doesn't have it in her to hit Kiki, or anyone for that matter. She is all talk.
    The first thing she does when Kieran harms himself is ask "Kiki... Are you okay?!"
    *Bunch of dialogue some people may have skipped over or not seen:*
    "No one's... picking on him, or anything... right?" -Carmine to Crispin when discussing Kieran settling in at school again.
    "Now I REALLY can't tell Kiki..." -Carmine to the protagonist when the grandfather tells her not to say anything. It implies she would have liked to, or was building up to it.
    "If Kieran's down to just one friend, i'm glad it's you." -Carmine to the player when she discusses Kieran in their dorm room. She doesn't want Kieran to be alone.
    That's another point I want to emphasize. Carmine is very overprotective of Kieran because she herself is rather lonely. Other than Amarys, she only truly gets along with Kieran. Until the player shows up and she starts to come out of her own comfort zone. WE inadvertently draw her out of it.
    She protects Kieran from anything she believes to be dangerous either physically or emotionally, and contains him within a social bubble where she knows he's safe and not talking to the wrong kind of people, a place where he won't end up leaving her as their parents seem to have. This did, however cause Kieran's shyness. And her shouting at him is likely a factor in why he's like that.
    But people need to know that she isn't evil or malicious and definitely not abusive, pushy for sure, but not an abuser.
    She doesn't do it because she wants to. She has her own problems that affect the way she speaks to people. She doesn't recognize it as rude and annoying when it comes across that way.
    But at the end of the day, these are video game characters, not real. So who cares, really? This is a game for younger audiences, there will always be a mostly happy ending, anyway regardless of what happens.
    Well... I say that but the main game's ending was pretty dark for poor Arven.

    0:39 I really love how the notes keep increasing in scale, it goes from low to high, maybe representing her change to being closed off to more welcoming? Also sounds playful in a way, maybe a representative of Oregpom perhaps?

Itd be an entirely one-sided beef, Carmine would say the most back-handed compliment and Nemona would go "omg wow thank you so much youre so sweet!!!" And Carmine would seethe and mald. This, too, is yuri.

    Though I’m an only child, I personally believe Carmine’s not aware of how her behavior affects Kieran. As the story goes on it becomes clear that her personality is just a front. She’s unaware of how harmful she can be at times, but if she were to be directly told the consequences of her actions she’d shatter. At the bottom of her heart, she cares for Kieran, and the player just as much. Even when she was shown what her actions molded Kieran into, he didn’t give her the chance to properly apologize.
    She has a superiority complex no doubt, but since it’s protected _her_ , she believes she can protect Kieran with it, not knowing that instead it amplifies his feelings of inferiority and self doubt. She’s more than just a “omg I’m so pretty and so cool you’re so stupid lmao” girl, under all that she’s definitely hurt, and we just don’t know how.
    I thought I was going to hate her, genuinely! But Kieran gradually grew into something that reminded me of someone I knew in the past, someone who idolized me only to put words in my mouth and treat me like the bad guy when his own feelings are to blame. I have faith we can help Kieran, but the person I knew was beyond saving.
    Carmine has her issues, but in the end it’s because she’s trying to save face. A majority of the stuff she says are things she doesn’t mean whatsoever. She’s caring, just in an aggressive manner that doesn’t come off well to others, because it’s likely how she cared for herself in the past. This girl’s got trauma and I want to see it, Gamefreak.
    anyway I’m not surprised more people dislike her than people who disliked Nemona (thank god, Nemona is practically a perfect adhd rep and hating her is a huge red flag) but I wanted to type this out just so people could understand Carmine isn’t actually trying to be a terrible person. A lot of people will take characters at face value, unable to look beneath the fronts they put up when looking deeper into the writing shows you that there’s vulnerability underneath. I want more people to understand that not everyone is aware of how their actions harm others, and I want them to know that communication is key to fixing these issues.
    Communication clearly isn’t Kieran’s strong suit. So L + ratio I guess. The both of them need mega therapy. They’re so mentally ill. I love this game’s sudden amount of mentally ill characters because it really helps me feel for them as the story progresses.
    TL;DR: carmines not trying to be mean and I’m 99% sure she’s just traumatized and if kieran told her she made him upset she’d fling herself off of oni mountain

    • @Arcknives

      Honestly, I grew more attached to Carmine and Kieran than, let's say Nemona or Penny.
      Kieran is a tragic character who I relate to a huge amount, I used to share some of his traits as a kid.
      Carmine, now one of my favourite characters from this franchise, is looked upon through a negative lens by a good portion of the community. Likely those who don't fully read the dialogue and understand her character.
      Carmine's character felt quite personal to me as she is exactly the type of older sister I wish I had, she very obviously cares for her younger brother, underscored by her silence in his presence during the Indigo Disk.
      She's might be scared of him at the beginning of the Indigo Disk, that's natural, but I reckon that her fear is actually for him. She is delighted whenever he starts to reform his old self in the portion underneath the Zero Lab, laughing with glee in response to seeing her real brother come back.
      I do wish she had snapped at him at some point after Kieran's defeat. While Kieran has learned to ignore her outbursts, I think this one in particular would get to him if she actually means what she's saying, expressing her genuine concern and worry about the state he is in.

      I feel like we all have had experiences similar to dealing with own Kieran in the past. My first encounter was back in fifth grade. She was my best friend but began to exhibit concerning behavior. She started to force me to hang out with her instead of her other friends, with whom she had a falling out, and even my own sister. I didn't understand why.
      I also had another experience in high school with a friend I had for four years. I continued the friendship out of guilt, as she seemed to want to be the hero of her own story but was also struggling on the inside. She portrayed herself as everyone's savior, including mine. I suffer from severe anxiety, which she picked up on, and she would give me advice that I didn't find helpful. She believed that simply saying certain phrases or yelling at me, as my sister did from time to time, was causing my anxiety and panic attacks to worsen, when in reality, my sister knew me better and was better equipped to help me during those times. I later realized that my anxiety had worsened because of her, as she seemed to have a savior complex and wanted to be my hero. I also suspect that she was jealous of my close relationship with my sister, and this led her to try to paint my sister in a negative light, which I knew wasn't the case.
      This is probably why I relate more to Kieran's story, because I have been friends with kids like him. Sometimes, those kids just can't be helped, so you have to back away. In some cases, kids do get help and realize that their actions are the reason why things don't work out the way they want.

      @@madisonyomans9004 I’m glad someone understands! Kieran’s a very interesting character, but I feel like not enough people focus on just how much of a jerk he was being to everyone (esp the protagonist). I also wish his redemption was more detailed, but the epilogue at least showed us he changed for the better.
      Kieran is the ideal end to a situation like that. But for the majority of us who didn’t get that happy ending irl, it makes his actions stick out more to us. Hence why I’m so upset that people demonize Carmine while going “kieran my poor little meow meow”. Arguably he was worse! Glad my man got better

      @@edgytoucan3444 I actually followed this person on Instagram, who is actually translating the Japanese version. And she mentioned some things at Carmine and Kieran story is kind of butchered by the English translation. Like the indigo disk Kieran is a lot more meaner than he was in the English version they toned it down a lot. in Carmines, one line where every body started calling her she’s abusive sister.” it’s not like I hit him or anything.” it never said in the Japanese version outline the English version just for some reason said it. Her grandfather actually scolded her for how rude she is to Kieran that she needs to be more kinder to her brother. She says that she is being nice again. She is very aggressive about it, but she is being nice apparently. She does more overbearing big sister in the Japanese translations.
      So with that said, we need to hold the English translation accountable for the way they perceived to English speakers playing the game.
