seeing ingo in Pokemon Legends Arceus is like "Haha the funny train guy is here!!!!!!!" to "the funny train guy....is here" and you get depressed about it

Fans: we wan darker stuff in Pokémon! Gamefreak: "Fine." *splits the twins apart.* The entire fandom: *intense sobbing and screaming*

When I first saw him I went, “OH, he must be that subway guy’s ancestor.” And then I saw his name, the fact that he had no memory, and that he also came from the portal above the region. “Oh…oh, no.”

Emmet being dead in the last frame perfectly embodies the angst the community has now lol

Player reactions to Ingo when he was first introduced: Oh, neat, so this subway place is the new battle tower setup and these subway bosses are the new battle tower tycoons. I'll probably immediately forget about them. Player reactions to Ingo in Legends Arceus: PUT THE TRAIN MAN BACK, ARCEUS! MY HEART HURTS!

Me: I wonder how the fandom is doing? *Walks into the Battle Subway to see several people either crying, comforting Emmet or loading a shotgun.*

Arceus: "I needst to summoneth a hero to end the foul plan of Volo. The Trainers in the distant future ought to do the job posthaste. Possibly the Champion. Lettest me beginneth the ritual." [Spooky godly ritual] [Ingo just suddenly drops in front of Arceus] Arceus: "F*cketh."

It tears my heart appart that the Subway brothers are also appart and while Ingo lost his memory Emmet is probably crying himself to sleep at night until he magically finds his brother again which sadly might not happen due to some random goat stuck in a fancy yellow fence who's really bad at its job

Emmet is either 1: crying Or 2: now has full control of the subway rules and is going apeshit while hes at it. Like fighting a 9 year old with a full set of lv.100 pokemon and cussing at the child when they loose. 3:both

Akari: Hey, Arceus, you stole this guy from his original timeline, and his twin is probably very sad about that, can you please fix that. Arceus: Sure. Akari: …. Arceus: Emmet is now dead and no longer misses his twin.

I haven't played Arceus but the first time I saw a picture of him I thought he was the ancestor of the subway bosses. Then I took a second look at the picture and went, "wait a minute". I realized that coat was way too modern to fit in Hisui. The realization of what that meant hit me like a train.

"Knowing gamefreak they will probably forget about this storyline" It hurts how true this is, Looker was done really dirty

"Damn I just realized seeing him here is actually depressing." YOU *JUST* REALIZED THAT?!

I saw Ingo and I was like "wait a minute, isn't he one of the subway guys? This must be his ancestor." And then nope, he is very much the Subway Boss Ingo.

I really love the idea of the protagonist literally fan-girling over a person who doesn’t even know who he is. :’)

As soon as I saw Ingo, I was like "ARCEUS!!! BRING THIS MAN BACK TO HIS ORIGINAL TIMELINE AND BROTHER!!"

When he is talking about his chandelure, at the cave, it broke my heart. He knows that something is missing, but not what.

when i saw ingo i just thought "WHAT THE FUCK ARCEUS, PUT THE POOR CONDUCTOR BACK"

Now, ponder this for a moment. Which would be sadder--Emmet having to face a world where his brother is missing...or Ingo being warped back the moment he left, only now he's decades older, barely speaks English any more, and has a lifetime of experience that nobody around him can relate to any more, gone in an instant?

Don't worry, Emmet's not actually dead in the last frame. But...he might as well be from loneliness. :( Someone please help both of them, it's depressing to watch this train wreck play out.

I didn’t know about Ingo at first but then I was like, “hey, I like this dude’s design” and then I searched him up and now here I am, part of the Submas fandom. Also in love with Emmet as well as Ingo now.

I love this art style so much. I also love that Zorua transformed into an Emmet with torn clothes like Ingo as if she just told it to “Transform into this guy, but with white clothes.”

Man that’s actually sad that a lot of people didn’t recognize him, it was so hype to see first: a guy that looks like ingo’s an ester, but really exact, to second: oh my god that’s actually him

0:21 that face hides unimaginable anguish

Love the animation! And I was confused why so many people in the west didn’t recognize ingooo. I’ll go back crying now

I remember actually screaming "ITS THE TRAIN DUDE" when I saw him. I never even played the Battle Subway.

I never finished playing through Black, but my brother did. When I met Ingo in PLA, I thought he rang a bell but I just couldn't place it. The moment I realized, it hit me like a freight train.

Just that look on Arceus's face. He did not plan this "Um...oops."

I knew Ingo not just from the games but from the anime as well. I saw the two brothers and they became unforgettable to me because of their apparel and their gestures. So when I saw him in Legends Arceus I was like “Whoa Ingo? Why are you here?”

To be fair, even if you played gen 5 I don't think they ever appeared outside of the Battle Subway so it's not a guarantee that playing those games means you'll know who he is since you also have to have had an interest in the battle subway.

The fact that Ingo is there probably means that God recognized Ingo as incredible and originally chose him to save the world, which is incredible to me

I recognized Ingo right away from Unova, although I never played the battle subway enough to fight the twins. They were just an iconic part of Unova's amazing roster of characters that kinda went underutilized (like every region), and i was instantly sad for Ingo and Emmet because they got dealt an even worse hand than Looker with ORAS and USUM, with one being sent back to ancient times with no memory AND separated from his twin that he did everything with, and the twin being separated from his brother with no clue what happened to him or where he is. The devastation and loss each must be facing is horrible, and it makes me so sad.

I LOVE this. Emmet and Ingo were honestly my favorite characters along with Cheren in Gen 5. It was a real shock to me when I realized basically nobody other than me remembered Ingo from BW and BW2. But then again, when he first showed up at the players door and said Kamado wanted to see them, I was kind of mashing A to skip dialog and didn't really recognize him then either. It wasn't until I got a better look at him at the training grounds when Irida was about to introduce him that I was like, "Wait, hold up, is that INGO?!" He IMMEDIATELY became all I cared about in PLA, and I am tormented by the fact that we don't get more on him and why he is here and if Emmet is okay and all that. There had BETTER be some DLC coming to fix this.

Seeing what happened to Ingo broke my heart a little cuz he’s genuinely one of my favorite characters. I just want to see him and Emmett back together

My initial reaction: ‘‘Oh, so this must be Ingo's ancestor.’’ Later: ‘‘He IS Ingo?!’’

In Japan he came second in a womens popularity poll very closely beaten by N back when gen 5 was released! They were suuper popular for years in the fandom and even more so now🙌

I didn't remember him from Gen 5 but from when he (and Emmet) appeared in Pokemon Masters Ex like 8 months ago? Comparing Ingo from Masters Ex with Ingo from Legends is lowkey depressing xD (he also constantly talks about his brother like come on, man! thats just sad now XD) Gamefreak, put him back where he came from or so help me Love the animation, all aboard the angst train choo choo!!

Honestly I'm hoping that they make a Black & White 3 with a continuation on this plotline. I mean Gen 5 is the only gen to have a remake/advanced version of the game be a sequel in the same generation. And it is the next remake in line. So I can see it being covered in either another Legends game, or the gen 5 remakes (whenever/if ever those happen). I doubt they'll just leave us hanging on this.... ...right?

If it wasn’t for Pokémon masters, I honestly would have ended up forgetting about the subway bosses, but that game reminded me that they existed.

i didnt even know who emmet and ingo were till i got buried with angst💀💀

me going from "haha he looks like the train man" to "haha he *is* the train man" to "oh god, He Is The Train Man"

This is very happy music for one of the more depressing elements of arceus. I hope Ingo finds his way home.

Ive been a fan of the subway masters since gen5's release and it absolutely thrilled me to see that even after a decade, they are still loved and not forgotten.

I literally rewatched most of the B&W anime a few months before arceus came out, and then they do this. That *hurt.*

One thing I always try to remember is each Pokémon game is in essence it's own universe, so there are likely just as as many universes where Ingo fell into the past as there are ones where he did not. One multiverse theory suggests anything and everything can happen and whatever does happen, happens in an infinite number of universes.

I was originally like: Oh Ingo and Emmets ancestor? "OH FUCK ITS ACTUALLY INGO!?" the moment I saw his name plate

"arceus, I get im here to do your bidding and all, but why did you bring a subway máster into a time without subways, plus he lost his memory, whats the point?"

it would be interesting if by datamining the game they found that emmet is in the game (this is highly unlikely though)

I didn't recognize him right away when I first met him in Legends, but once I saw him pose, I immediately went "hold up.."

THIS IS EXACTLY HOW EVERY SECOND OF IT FELT

Nah the part were he mentioned his partner pokemon was the gut punch....arceus why did you not allow litwick line to be in hisui

Yeah it's depressing seeing Ingo stuck in Hisui

I will not lie I lost my s*** when I saw ingo because I saw them in gen-5 and I tried so hard to beat the subway but I could never get to them but I loved them. even when watching the anime I loved them.

0:21 exactly some people don't understand that like I feel bad for emmet

I haven't played Pokemon in ages and all I thought was "this guy's outfit reminds me of Raidiu Kuzanoha". That, and I thought he was an old man

At first I didn't recognize him but then he said "All Aboard!" And did the pose I knew

I didn’t realize BECAUSE MY LITTLE SISTER WAS SUCH A SIMP FOR N that she refused to let me play Pokémon black and white. It was the one Pokémon game I didn’t play. Now I know the truth. Now I know pain

Who didn't recognize Ingo?? I didnt even fight the Battle Subway and I know that man and his twin brother Emmet.

My heart is broken for Ingo and Emmet, knowing that they’ll probably never see each other again.

I'm quite surprised how many fans didn't recognize him -- my first ever console Pokemon game was Brilliant Diamond on the Switch, then Let's Go Eevee, and my third game of the series ever was Arceus. The last time I remember being involved in the anime or cards was when the First Movie came out; I hadn't really been active in the fandom ever and my interest was base-level since I was about 10. I never thought I'd like a Pokemon game and I didn't get the hype until I inherited the Switch from a friend and ended up checking it out (I'm hooked now). But for some reason? Maybe because his character design archetype is one of my favourites? I always remembered Ingo. Actually, while playing Brilliant Diamond, I wished he would show up (cause I was still learning about how each game focuses on a different region etc etc) so when it happened in Arceus I was like "oh no! I cursed you! I'm sorry! But yay, you're here! But oh no!" And when he opened up about his amnesia I might have shed a tear or two.

This is why I started reading Pokémon fanfiction - I like to see them reunite again, something we didn't see in the game.

Forget sending me back home. PLEASE bring him back with his brother! I was so shocked to see him in the game. I honestly thought we are gonna have a side mission to help him. Gamefreak do not forget about him!

Seeing the influx of people getting into the Subway twins is telling me things about my initial Subway Master fever from back in 2011 that I'm not sure I like🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

I audibily went "no way" when I saw him in LA and the fact that almost no one was talking about it for like weeks baffled me. This video perfectly encapsulates all the emotions

I didn't recognize his design at first so I was like ":0 BLIND POLICE OFFICER CHARACTER YES??" And then I found out his name and my serotonin shot THROUGH the ROOF

I legitimately freaked out when I saw him because I just loved the Battle Subway. Mostly because I like trains, but also because their themes rock. At first I thought he was just an ancestor, but once it became clear that wasn’t the case it got super depressing. He was ripped away from his brother and Pokémon out of nowhere to watch over a special Sneasler. That walk through the cave just…broke my heart.

Back then when I was little, I had a hard time fighting the subway masters. I real hated Ingo's fight tho and he'd beat me everytime. I was like "Let me through subway grandpa, I am not trying to fight anymore my god!" And then return to playing crafting mama. Now I'm playing Arceus, and the space time rift farts him into the game. It just *farts* the bitterness of the fight back. But now I beat him without help. And I feel old like this guy, and I feel bad for him as well. He's just standing there staring at me like "who do you want me to conduct you here to fight?" Not "All aboard! We're on the road to victory!" And that hits hard man. That's just sad. Now he's there to haunt me and poor guy lost his brother 😔🤚

0:17 yes they can, we see a zorua disguised as a munchlax and a zoroark disguised as Mai. We never see the transformation taking place, but they do indeed still possess illusion powers

I instantly knew it was Ingo. I remember flat out saying when ingo first walked by on-screen "It's the train guy. Why is he here?" And now I am even more depressed since I know why and the ramifications of it.

If you're from New York and Played gen 5 and don't recognize him you have disgraced new york with your existance

I heard there was a character from a previous game in Arceus so I looked him up, saw he had a twin left behind, and it was all over for me man. Even if I had played gen5 when it first came out I never would have seen them since I never did much with the battle towers. Very glad I learned about them though because that was the final push I needed to go back and play gen 5!

Ingo I'm so sorry I didn't visit the Battle Subway much when I was a teen. Please come home your brother misses you

emmet in the family guy death pose... poor guy

Great animation! Finding out Ingo was in the game reignited my love for gen 5

I wasn't the biggest fan of black and white, but I read a webcomic called black adventures or something like that before I played white, and I remember their portrayal of ingo and emmet really well and liked them a lot. I was pretty sad beating arceus to see ingo still trapped in the past with no reason to really be there to begin with. The player makes sense enough given that they've already proven themselves a hero in the present time, but why did ingo come too? He takes on the role of sneaslers warden, but surely there was another pearl clan member meant for that role before his arrival. He's never used the sneasel line before and never really had anything to do with sinnoh either, it's such a random choice

Gen 5 is the ever first Pokémon game I ever played and got me into Pokémon to this day, and I agree. It’s awesome edit: reunite the twins!

Unova is my favorite region and black and white is my favorite game. Seeing Clay's ancestor and Ingo made me scream out of joy that Unova was getting fan service

I played legends arceus unspoiled and I'm glad to say that when saw ingo I knew I recognized him. I looked him up to make sure I wasn't crazy and sure enough I wasn't crazy for once

Bring the fragment over to Ingo expecting Almighty Arceus to yeet Ingo's Isekai'd ass Back to the Future Doctor Who style, only to realize that even as a fragment of an almighty creator, Arceus cant remedy poor Ingo's situation.

Omg emmet doing the family guy death pose is sooo funny!!

I'm weird, because I recognized Ingo almost immediately, But never thought once about how depressing it must've been for Emmet until I watched this. Now I'm moderately sad.

"Make a even more depressing plot in future gens" Imagine being Arven- neglected by your mother/father during your childhood. You and your closest companion, and partner Pokémon, go to visit your parent later on in life, only to be attacked by paradox Pokémon in Area Zero, leaving your partner greatly ill. And just to top it off, you find out that your mother/father that you'd been communicating with digitally was an A.I., and that your real parent had died years ago. I know some people have problems with some of the newer characters in the series, but you've gotta reapect Arven for getting through all of this with a happy ending.

-Hey Ingo! You're here! :D -Ingo... You're... Here?!?... D':

WhAt dO yOu MeAn PeOpLe DiDn'T ReCoGnIzE hIm I SuRe dID- No seriously, the moment I saw him I got that tingle at the back of my head saying, "I know this dude, I KNOW this dude, but where is he from???" Then with a couple of searching, I found him then- BOOM! Looking back into the Pokemon Fandom and finding Emmet and Ingo does not help me and my simping bum after I figured out and realized that I like complimentary characters not too long ago-

I played the Battle Subway so much, of course I immediately recognized Ingo. I didn’t know that so many people in the West had no idea who he was…

My reaction to seeing Ingo was literally, “Is that *I N G O ??!!?!!!!!!!??????”* Got told off for yelling but it was worth it. Though it’s funny, before the yelling I assumed he was like, a ghost type trainer or something. And then he got closer.

The fact he hasnt gotten any closer yet is actually killing me. Please, Gamefreak.. fix this 😭

this, this is what my reaction was. i played white and it was verrrrry good

Until PLA they were just "the cool train men" for me. I could probably not tell you which is which. But now they're very dear to me.

I feel like sending a character to the past had way more potential. Imagine it was actually Lysandre who was sent back, after the events of X/Y, and he uses this as an opportunity to repent, but eventually he meets a Floette, and oh boy, Lysandre is actually AZ!

If this storyline gets continued at all, I think the most likely outcome is that Emmet will turn up in Legends Kyurem

At first I thought he was an ancestor but then I realized he was a faller damn

Me: *Still praying for dlc where Ingo and Emmet are reunited*

I love the fan animations and comics of sad Emmet desperately looking for his brother while Ingo is still trying to remember who he is or where he’s from

I think Ingo stayed in the past and become his own ancestor, while Emmet had to deal some years of depression and therapy

Honestly I did. I actually made it to them once as a kid on the battle subway and my thought was how was Ingo still alive in gen 5 then I learned he was brought to the past

And then Emmet gets transported to Ancient Unova in Pokémon Legends: Kyurem

My headcannon is that Arceus just really likes drama and that's why he isakaid Ingo.

i didn't play gen 5, my first exposure into really getting into Pokemon was the gen 6 anime, and even then I didn't have any of the games, only getting some resold versions of heartgold and pearl (and Pokemon go as well). When I played legends, I found ingo really cool, and was really wrapped up in fan comics about the two being separated, so now I'm going to see if I can borrow a friend's copy of black so I can meet both of the subway bosses, together!!

Literally the first thing I thought of when starting the game was; "Well I hope finishing the dex and meeting Arkoos ends with me being sent back to my original future/dimension" Then I saw Ingo "Oh man now I really gotta finish the Dex and meet Arkoos so he sends us both back!" ....Depression
