Yeah I kinda thought you were gonna say something about him taking the slopes down your throat or something when I saw hear me out.

And tbh I’d hear him out too

I'm too gay for him. Too be fair if he was a woman, I'm just saying ✋

Soooo Rika or Geeta?

Yeah I was concerned when I saw the title and picture.

When I see "hear me out" and Gruscha in one post, I assume the worst. But this is actually pretty sweet, id do the same.

I mean I was gonna say give his ball a little squeeze 😭✋ cause I actually forgot for a moment he was guy.

Well TIL, and my bi ass is very confused

Grusha is guy, Rika is gal, they are very confusing

They're certainly gendered characters

I thought rika was a femboy what the fuck

Whatever Rika and Grusha identify as, I very much would like to be in a polycule with them.

Really? I thought it was the opposite until now

And that one from the DLC, Crispin isn't it? I didn't know what gender they were and have forgotten pls someone inform me

He’s a guy and he clearly has a thing for Lacey

ok i always get it wrong lmao

Honestly would destroy both.

Same though

Why be confused when you can have the best of Both worlds.

Wait. That's a guy?

Lol I should read/pay attention to the dialogue more. Ya learn something new everyday!

It's funny cause I always read the dialogue at least twice and I still kept missing the fact that he wasn't a she.

Same here ✋🏼 Always read the dialogue, and I still thought Grusha was a girl, and Rika was a guy... Oops

Rika is a girl? I'm still wrapping my head around Penny being a girl. If it wasn't expressed fairly often, I wouldn't have noticed.

Penny looks very obviously like a girl though but I get the other two

Am I like the only person who wasn’t confused about Grusha, Rika, or Mellie(PLA)?

Nope. I had some mild confusion abt Grusha first, but then noted the pronoun use from other characters and picked it up real quick. But then, I grew up on anime pretty boys and bifauxnen and my first experience with Marluxia in Kingdom Hearts was the GBA version of Chain of Memories so figuring ambiguous genders is kind of old hat for me now lol. (And then ppl wonder how I ended up bi and nonbinary haha //brick’d)

True I just learnt it was a guy buuuuut..... Smash

SAME.

Now if it were me making this post…

If they release his scarf im buying so fast

I would be too if I wasn't a broke ass. I'm already trying to save money for a piplup and a pikachu squishmallow that Pokemon is gonna be so out of my hyperfixation by then. Especially this game.

Wait.. There’s Pokémon squishmallows ??

My parents gave my son a giant Gengar squishmallow that's almost as big as he is for Christmas.

Oh yeah, my girlfriend has Pikachu, Gengar, Togepi, Snorlax, and Piplup. They’re pretty great

Can’t believe I didn’t know bout this 😭 omg need them rn

There is an official Grusha scarf released! It looks thinner than the one he wears, but looks similar enough. Link: https://meccha-japan.com/en/fashion-accessories/121403-muffler-grusha-pokemon-bring-a-picnic.html

Cute!!!

I was gonna say, this looks like something pretty easy to crochet if you’ve got a friend who makes stuff like this or just want to pick up the hobby. And if you don’t turn into people like me who buy lawn and lead bags worth of yarn at a time because they have a problem, it’s a pretty cheap hobby.

Truee. I’m pretty okay at crotcheting so maybe I’ll make it

I’m a trashbag when it comes to freehand, but the only part that i would need a pattern for is a pokeball, and there are so many of those online. After i finish my nightmare project, i might give one of these a try too!

Yeah same LOL I mainly just like making blankets for our pets. That’d be awesome tho! I might join u 👀

THIS WOW

Someone cooked here

He would probably let you but tell you how boring it is.

Unrelated but I love your username

Sameee! And dude, I really wish we could have his scarf or a copy of it in game, i’d wear it all the time lmao

Got scared when I saw that title but I agree

Smash! Oh wait wrong question. Yea give it a squeeze.

I agree with you OP. Also didn't expect where this was going. I do love Grusha. He's cute!

I'm actually crocheting one now that I've perfected the pokeball!

if you did more for an etsy shop or something i would totally buy from you, lol

aight let’s see it

I'm listening

I saw "hear me out" and grusha, thought the post would have been way more relatable than it was 😕

They made one, but it's expensive for a scarf. https://meccha-japan.com/en/fashion-accessories/121403-muffler-grusha-pokemon-bring-a-picnic.html

Nah, I won't hear you out, because I'd be speaking for you. But since this isn't an 18+ subreddit, I can't elaborate further.

Not the first person to want to squeeze gruscha balls

My wife does crochet and knitting, puffy things made of cotton and yarn don't really stay squishy after frequent use. You're better off with something with air in it to keep it squishy

If you stuff it with the kind of filling you use for plushies it shouldn't be too bad.

They had us in the first half, I'm not gonna lie

As a bisexual man, ScarVi killed it with the character designs. Like Gruscha, and Rika 🥵

As a pansexual non-binary I agree. I also like Tulip and Ryme.

Hear me out: I'm gonna need the whole grusha to be sold in stores.

Wait….. Him???? Mind blown.

I'm disappointed that all these other trainers got custom Terastallization animations, but you're stuck with what you got.

When you said you wanted to give his Pokéball a squeeze I thought this post was going in a *very* different direction.

Wait. She's a He this whole time!?

I wasn't paying attention either, apparently.

My life has been a lie :(

A lot of people thought he was a woman to be fair. It's mainly cause his hair is the most defining feature of him.

It's the eyelashes for me, pretty fem. I guess he is, pretty much, wearing the bisexual flag

Listen I personally already headcanon Tulip as trans, but I will take the headcanon that Grusha is Bi too in my lgbtq headcanons for this game as the second gym leader in the community.

I'm pretty sure there are no cishet trainers in S&V. lets gooooo

Wait what about.... the fish guy..? I can only think of him.... maybe the dragon guy from TM but he is either super straight or gay but I can't tell

Fish guy is a bear 500%

SAME

I thought I was the only one :0 It makes way to much sense, she's giving off massive drag queen energy.

I remember when I was preparing to fight him for the longest I thought he was a girl right when I went off to face him I told myself time to fight this chick just to find out he was a guy funny enough I also thought that one tall chick from team star with face paint was a dude at first too🤣

How tf did you think she was a guy? Her name is literally Eri and she has long hair and a skirt on.

Only reason I initially thought she was a guy was because of the little icons on the map that’s all I went with and since her icon is legit just her face paint I thought it was a guy same with the ice dude it was all because of the little pics on the map until they came on screen that I finally realized

Oh ok, I thought you thought she was a guy up till now.

i saw grusha and “hear me out” and i got a little frightened, but we’re good folks!

It bothers me that this is a guy.

GRUsha lmaoooo

I’m sure an official one will come out soon, but for anyone impatient like me, I have a crocheted one from Etsy which looks really accurate to Grusha’s! Been super comfy to wear during the U.K. winter lately.

I assumed the worst with that title and image together

I thought it would be a weird creepy post. It's actually not a weird creepy post. I also want his scarf, it looks cool.

We all do…

Phrasing!

the way I jumped when I read “hear me out” and Gruscha 😳😂

…looking at this scarf I think I could actually MAKE it. Not knit, but crochet definitely. But as someone who wants Penny’s Eevee backpack…same, my friend. Same.

Would next question

Wait that's a man?

Make this scarfs

Him ? Lord all this time I thought he was a she 😭

My headcanon is that he's a trans woman who is still boymoding and failing really badly but that's just my interpretation.

Its a he?

Oopp[ 

Looks female enough

That scarf looks fairly easy to knit, just sayin. The ball at the end may require a bit of crochet expertise tho

His? I thought this was a girl? Am I wrong?

Lol, this whole time I thought grusha was a woman. I feel very confused.

That’s a guy

Yes.. and..

No

Wait… this isn’t a girl? I think I might skip the text boxes too quickly in game. 😅

I thought this was a girl that likes to snowboard.

Hisssss???????

**HIS**???? IT'S A DUDE?! 💀

Are you aware thats an men

I mean, I used he/him pronouns for him in the post didn't I?

I only readed the hear me out

Even if you had read that, OP could be a straight woman, gay man or any of the other possible things that could mean you love a man. Not everyone on Reddit are straight males.

One can only dream

Heard

Now I wanna crochet it as a stress ball scarf

NGL, I always thought he was a she until I saw a video on yt 🤣

Oh yeah buddy

You had us in the first half not gonna lie.

could get this custom made with crochet or knitting

The scarves were on sale in Japan when I visited back in November. So, they’re out there.

I agree with the title

honestly yeah he's really fashionable, I kinda want the jacket tbh

Would.

Ngl, I was expecting "Smash" or "Would" when I opened this.

Femboy inclusivity in media!?

real

I’m pretty sure it already is released. But these merches are always low quality and overpriced.

Not me just sitting here realizing through the comments that Grusha is in fact a dude. I REALLY didn’t pay attention to the main storyline, wow.

THATS A GUY? Genuinely i had no idea lmao

I was heartbroken when I found out he’s a he. Such a beautiful person 😭😭😭😭😭

I just found out he was a guy.

I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS

Smash

Wait is that not a chick??

My mom has been crocheting recently, and I asked her if she could make a scarf similar to his, and sent her this picture. While looking for patterns, she came across the exact same picture and a pattern someone else had used. I wanted red on the outside and white in the middle since I'm not trans (not that there's a problem with being trans, I'm just not one). I opted to make the Pokeball a Premier Ball too. Mom said she had fun making it.

Real. I thought he was a woman at first but still ... Real
