[YEAH OKAY SO. THATS SOMETHING WE THINK ABOUT A LOT ACTUALLY
would you believe me if i told you that wasnt originally on purpose??? i dont remember the original reasoning other than “Ace Maple is a nice sounding name”
we’ve had ace around as a concept for. years now? they’re OLD but have always been “pokemon processor specializing in ‘anomalies.’” (fun fact anomalies originally moreso meant Pokepastas and evolved into being more about Glitches!) (this is an excuse to point at old art- the very first concept we have of ace! they’ve changed so much yet so little lol)
all things considered though. this coincidence has only become more and more fitting for them as they developed more. we’re excited for you guys to get to know them more! ^^
we’re really glad people have been enjoying the original aspects of this story, and not just the more familiar pokepasta stuff <:) we all really hope you’ll continue to enjoy things like this to come!]
