Iono: Difference between revisions

The game states that her viewers' reactions are more important to Iono than victory in battle, though she does feel some genuine regret for what she feels was going too far to create content as shown when talking to [[Clavell]] at the [[League Club]]. She perks up when he reveals he actually quite liked the name "Mr. Walksabout."<ref name=SVGameScriptTIDClavell>''"Well, I actually thought the name “Walksabout” was rather charming and whimsical. I cannot deny it was an excellent moniker. You clearly have an aptitude for naming things." - Clavell <br> "P-please! Stop taking this so well! I’m gonna faint from sheer embarrassment!" - Iono''</ref> Although she appears to be clueless as to why, Iono's viewers tend to soar higher whenever she loses in a battle, as stated by her on the condition that the player loses in their rematch at Blueberry Academy.<ref name=SVTIDRematchLoss>''"Nyahaha! Who won this time? I know, Iono! But my viewer numbers zoomed up way less than usual! Whyfore?!" - Iono''</ref>

According to one of her fans that appears during her Gym Challenge, they refer to themselves as part of the "Iono Hype Squad", often referring to her as "Miss Iono",<ref name=SVGameScript/> with Tulip in particular referring to her as simply "Nono".<ref name=SVGameScriptTIDTulip></ref> Iono herself calls her fans "Iono Zoners", and in some cases, simply "chat".<ref name=SVGameScriptTIDMagnemite>''"Chat went nutso for my Terarium tour! ’Specially when my li’l Magnemite hair-pair went on a bzzt-bzzt-smash rampage in Chargestone Cavern!" - Iono''</ref> <ref name=SVGameScriptTIDIonoZoners>''"You’re a young, fresh-faced Champion! Any channel you collabed with would rake in the views...but you stayed a loyal Iono Zoner!" - Iono''</ref> Iono is also aware that most of her more loyal fans are still in school, with many already attending Blueberry Academy prior to her arrival,<ref name=SVGameScriptTIDFanDemographic>''"A lot of my loyal fans are still in school, so lotsa Blueberry peeps know about Iono! Guess the Supercharged Streamer has the right voltage no matter where she goes!" - Iono''</ref> including Ray the [[Student]] in [[Drayton]]'s [[Elite Trial]].<ref name=SVTIDRayTheStudent>''"Y’know Iono? The streamer? I use the same type as her, so like, ready for a shock?"''</ref> A trainer in the [[Terarium]] also remarks that they've sworn they've seen the player on the Iono Zone before, referring to the player's battles with her in Paldea.<ref name=SVTIDTerariumTrainer>''"Aren’t you that kid who was on the Iono Zone?! Whosawhatsit?! Iunno! I swear, there was a kid who looked just like you on the Iono Zone. The viewer count for that stream was totally insane!"''</ref>

===Appearance===

Whilst her age is unknown, characters in Levincia state that Iono has been a streamer for quite a few years, wondering how old she really is.<ref name=SVGameScript/> She appears to be an adult herself when referring to others as being "still in school."<ref name=SVGameScriptTIDFanDemographic></ref> Regardless, Iono appears to be a small, thin woman with long arms and legs. Her teal and pink hair reaches down below her knees, with two wide ponytails of contrasting colors that follow behind her. At the end of each ponytail, there are "bulbs" with alternating pink and teal surfaces. The rest of her hair is fairly short on top, with a short pink bang protruding from some hair above her forehead in the appearance of a ribbon. It's unknown whether this ribbon shape is an accessory or is actually a styled part of her hair. Iono's eyes are a gradient of various colors, such as purple, pink, and a light yellow, with her eyelashes having a black appearance until their very ends, where they look like segmented purple triangles that are disconnected from the actual lash itself. In 2D adaptations of her design, such as her official artwork and anime appearances, the purple segments of her eyelashes appear behind her hair regardless of the perspective, but in both her debut reveal stream as well as Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, this is not the case. Alongside her short, thin eyebrows, it may suggest that Iono's hair color is naturally black. Her teeth are notably different from that of other characters, with each tooth sporting a jagged shark-like appearance. It's possible that this is a reference to the design of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gawr_Gura popular virtual YouTuber characters] in the real world.

She primarily wears an oversized yellow and black jacket featuring her logo on the front, with thin straps at the end of each sleeve that feature Poké Balls on their ends. The sheer size of this jacket is enough to cradle her phone, as seen in her concept art. Underneath the jacket, she wears a silver bodysuit that hooks around her neck at the top with a screw-like object, covering her back and chest, with a black textured outfit underneath that reaches down to her thighs. The screw-like object seen near her neck is also embedded onto the outside each of Iono's shoes, which feature a notable high heel and are a similar silvery color to her bodysuit, with the base of each shoe being a yellow color. Between her shoes, bodysuit, and what appears to be a thigh-high sock covering all of her right leg, they all feature a repeating hexagonal pattern. Her left thigh has a black strap wrapped around it, featuring some unknown gray text.

Iono is also accessorized with two hair clips that look like {{p|Magnemite}}. Although they do not appear to be Pokémon, described by Iono in her reveal trailer simply as "fancy shmancy hair clips",<ref name=IonoZone/> they seem to be able to animate and move around on their own. Her concept art in both the games and anime show that the hair clips are able to mimic her reactions, such as when Iono is in a state of shock or anger. Various appearances show them accentuating her reactions, such as spinning around her head cartoonishly when she is stunned. As seen in her reveal trailer, the hair clips can emote with a variety of different expressions shown on their eyes, in a way identical to actual Magnemite. They also appear to be able to act independently, as they once went on what Iono describes as a "bzzt-bzzt-smash rampage" in [[Chargestone Cavern]].<ref name=SVGameScriptTIDMagnemite></ref> Strangely, Iono never uses any Pokémon from the Magnemite family on her team, although she offers to trade a Magnemite to the player in [[The Indigo Disk]].

As part of her personality, Iono moves animatedly in a variety of ways. During her streams, she will often shake in place with clenched teeth, when in an awkward or otherwise tense situation. During a battle, she steps up and down in place, an action that is also noted on her concept art. Due to her oversized jacket, Iono's hands are rarely seen, leading to actions such as waving or even holding a Poké Ball with the arms of her coat. The '''dainty''' [[Battle style (game mechanic)#Throwing styles|throwing style]] that the player can obtain at the [[League Club Room|League Club]] is identical to the one used by Iono in battle, and is shared with [[Poppy]].
