I was curious about how the popularity of Ingo and Emmet has changed over the past 15 years, but I wanted to see if I could find something quantifiable. Here are the results of my research: Submas Fandom History by the Numbers gearstationarchives.wordpress.com/2026/06/30/s...

Not sure if there's an official height chart for Unova trainers, so I've been playing around in the PokeMas photo studio

Ingo, Elesa, and Emmet. They are all about the same height

Ingo, Hilda, and N. Hilda is far shorter than the other two

Elesa, Hilda, and Skyla. Elesa is the tallest, followed by Skyla, then Hilda

I've been making some updates to the references page on my blog, including adding navigation at the top and blurbs on the Battle Subway from a few of the magazines I bought (these are Nintendo Dream 11/2010 and 09/2012) More to come, I still have a lot to go through!

Forgot to make a post here too but my magazine order from Japan arrived! I focused on issues from around the releases of BW/B2W2 and PLA. I was looking for more submas stuff to cover for my blog but also any interesting articles on the games in general

Various magazines laid out across the floor

Magazine pages with an interview about Black 2 and White 2. Iris in her champion attire is on the left page

Magazine page about Ingo's battles in the training grounds

Magazine pages about various characters from PLA with a special section on Ingo

I went to a con this past weekend and I've been thinking about making an Emmet or Ingo cosplay for the next one. Or maybe Hisui Ingo... I'll start looking into how to make the coat and see how it goes. I saw two really good Ingo cosplays while I was there and was inspired :')
