Possible e8 members (Spoilers)

[Nexen57]

Who said Elite 8 must be specialised in one type ?

After seeing Karen’s team it is more likely that each member is designed around a field.

Karen’s for example must be the Crystal Cavern field and Joleyne may be the Underwater Field.

Also I think that maybe Jan and Amanda could be E8 because they helped founding the league with Celine and Alexandra.

I remember Jan saying that we met 6 E8 members as of V12. And we met the true Amanda only in V13 so it would fit with what he said.

The last member will maybe appear in the Artrica Region.

What about Blakeory Jr ?

He had some screen time and development in v13. Of course, that's because his whole family was involved, but still, maybe we'll see more of him in the future. He seems like a pretty strong trainer, and someone respectable, so why not.

yeah but weren't e8 members chosen by celine? and she isn't exactly around anymore. of course there is a possibility that he met celine before but 1. he was a asshole before the school of nightmares arc and 2. he seems to be in his 17-20's at most

I am interested in who will replace Karen if she is dead. Since she can be killed during the final castle side quest. 

 

The only know members are

-Cecline Champion

-Alexander

-Volta (news lady)

-Karen

-Guy from the Ana sidequest (his name escapes me at the moment) 

-Tesla

 

So we know of 5 of the 8, unless the champion counts as one of the 8.

Jolene, Volta's mother [Volta is the electric gym leader, but we fight Erik instead since she was out of commission from the Rift Garbodour incident]

Because Jan has said that the player has met at least 6 Elite 8 members, i’m going to assume they’re Alexandra, Tesla, Dylan, Jolene, Karen, and one unknown member that the player have met, but they haven’t revealed themselves that they’re part of the Elite 8, because of that i’ve been thinking since Zumi made artworks of important characters that we’ve met in so far in the storyline/sidequest, i’m going to assume this mystery elite 8 member that we’ve met is among the people that has received received an artwork/character portrait, that are:

·         Not a Gym Leader, or a Reserve Leader.

·         Not a part of your friends’ group, this list includes the ones that went training in Sashila, in addition to that, Huey, Reina, & Nim to an extend.

·         Not a part of a faction that the MC is opposing, Antagonists basically.

·         They were introduced in v12 or beforehand. Because jan said up to v12, we’ve met 6 Elite 8 members.

·         And, is currently Alive, Active, and Exists in the present Timeline (obviously).

 

Judging by these Criterias, we got:

·         Rorim B. : Rorim seems unlikely, although i’m not gonna be surprised if he is one, but i wouldn’t know what type he specializes in, or if the other half of the Elite 8 will specializes in a specific type or not, as for the reason why he might be part of the Elite 8 is that he is Crawli’s father, and they both are the first villagers in Kakori Village, despite his happy and cheerful attitude, i’m pretty sure he has Experience as a Trainer, and Celine might’ve seen potential in him, i  wanted to believe that maybe sometime soon we might have a battle where he will be serious whether as an Elite 8, or not because we’ve battled and encountered him several times in the storyline/sidequests, because this might be the reason he’s not going the be a member, we’ve seen him several times already.

 

·         Crescent : I believed that she is strong, she is MC’s friend that survived the Nihilego attack, she has gathered Black Box(es) to bring MC back, i could believe she was getting stronger while she is colleting whatever the Black Box(es) are , i can see her defeat Clear 1v1 in a fair pokemon fight. But she lost to Clear mainly due to Beheeyem’s Illusions, as for what i think she might be a member or not, i don’t think so. Because Celine was in the Preservation Crystal, she wouldn’t be able to travel, met Crescent, and Recruit her. Unless someone tries to recruit her to be a member shortly after arriving in Aevium with MC, even then who would recruit her when Celine is still frozen? Even if she did get recruited that seems unlikely as well, because her main motivation is to make the MC happy, it seems she just wanted MC and her to not be affiliated to others and live peacefully, and for the MC to be happy. And Honestly, the things i wrote above might not even be true at all when things will be revealed later on in the next versions, as we still have many questions unanswered about her, but in short: She is strong, she might be Elite 8 material, but judging by what i’ve seen in the story so far, i don’t think she would be a part of Elite 8.

 

·         Rhodea: Highly unlikely, we actually did battle her in the Nightmare School as she was one of the people that was invited by the Puppet Master, specifically the one that kicked Saki really hard in MC’s route, and the fight against her isn’t all that difficult even in Intense mode.

 

·         Cella: Honestly, out of all of the people i mentioned, i believe she has the biggest chance to be a part of Elite 8, although that is just my opinion. And yes, just like the points stated previously, Cella has been keeping secrets from Aelita, she simply could’ve kept her secret until the (possible) revelation, but assuming the Elite 8 will keep at least one Mythical/Legendary pokemon, for Example: Karen has a Diancie, Alexandra has a Latias, it’s possible that the remainder of the Elite 8 could have at least one Legendary/Mythical Pokemon in their team. Why did i bring this up? Well, i just think there is one pokemon that might suits Cella in my opinion, and that pokemon is Celebi. Cella knew of time travelling because of our group that went to past Sheridan, and i think it’s just kinda fitting that the lady that we’ve met in the present and the past to have a Celebi, a pokemon with Time Traveling capability. She did called Celebi in our first Visit to the Spring of Purification although it doesn’t seem to be in her possession, or is that how she wants the MC and Aelita see it? And besides aren’t their name kind of... similar? Cella, Celebi? Cella could fight us in the Forest Field, where most battles in Sheridan takes place, that could mean she could specialize in Grass Types, besides similarities that’s all i could think of , at this point it’s still a conjecture, and everything i said about Cella could very well be false, another point that i wanted to make is that after the calamity striked, she and young Taelia was able to survive the storm and i believe she needed to be strong to protect and raise Taelia, as they only had each other until Kenneth came in their life.

 

·         Mosely: Highly unlikely as well, Mosely is wanted iirc because she ran away from her home. And there are many points that has been stated above that could explain why she couldn’t be, and honestly i don’t think i’d want Mosely to be a part of Elite 8, i’m really sorry to the people who wanted Mosely as a part of Elite 8, i’m only stating my opinion.

 

 

That’s all i wanted to write about i think, i hope i didn’t waste your time, i apologize if i made some mistakes or baseless assumptions, i just enjoy reading these kind of stuff and kinda want to drop my thoughts.

That was Thomas Jr's, he dropped it when Saki brained him with the bat

The original elite 4 was as you know Tesla, Karen, Jolene and Dylan. Alexandra was at first part of elite 8, so we are left with 3 unknown members and nothing to speculate on them.

I'll mention one name, Eve, the sister of Adam and Ryland. She was living with them in Alamissa and just like Ryland and Damien, she was filled with hatred and vengefulness if that's a word.

It's possible

This seems verified too and explains why her name wasn't mentioned ever again. What a plot twist

[ABoringGuy]

I am surpirsed nobody has mentioned Nancy here. The game has hinted that she was(or maybe still is) a real human being at one point. She has mono fairy team and is fairly strong. I think Creasent may have known Nancy was Elite 8 so that is why she chose Nancy to take care of MC.

 

Another speculation is Creasent. I know that Celine wouldnt choose someone as crazy as her but lets not forget Creasent can time travel as well. She might have been selected before she went rogue. Another possibility is that she could have just manipulated Celine into thinking she was a "good person" to join Elite 8. Also she has a mono psychic team as far as I know.

[Mei-o_Scarlett]

honestly i thought nancy was a ref to the B2W2 one

she could still be an elite 8 but damn

imagine

[bendy]

I unironically think Piano Lady is part of the Elite 8. Her design feels unique enough to warrant her being someone very important later on, (I know design isn't much to go off of here, so I could be totally wrong lol). But I don't know, I have this feeling she's some sort of wild card, and the fact that she's one of the first unique NPCs we can interact with on the SS Oceana gives me that feeling. Although she doesn't seem to be someone very powerful when we first meet her, I think this can be explained by her just being modest? Maybe from her perspective its a bit rude to bring up your status to new trainers about to begin their journey, and I respect that kind of attitude. That said, learning about Celine in V13, and the kind of people she chose as Elite members It kind of makes sense that she'd be drawn to someone like her. All of the Elite members we've meet so far seem to be kind hearted people (Tesla and Dylan are good examples I think). If I'm remembering correctly and someone correct me If I'm wrong here, but there is a small scene at the end of the Goomink quest with Celine. She's talking to Goomelda about hiding the light stone at the castle and entrusting her to keep it secret. Her quote at the end was "After all, love will prevail" I think? It seems to me like Celine was the kind of person to see more potential in kind-hearted people, rather than outright powerful ones. So why not someone like Piano Lady?

I probably look pretty dumb here writing a whole paragraph about this, so I wont say I told you guys so If somehow I end up being right haha. But Jan sure loves to surprise us with this game so who knows.
