Gloria’s long awaited inclusion inPokemon Masters EXis significant news as she, alongside Zacian, are the first bit of content from the most recentPokemongeneration.Pokemon SwordandShield’s inclusion inPokemon Masters EXwas teasedearlier in November with fans only knowing a new sync pair would be joining. WithPokemon Masters EXbeing a celebration of thePokemonfranchise, with specific reference to the characters of the games, manga, and anime series, Gloria being introduced opens the doors for many new additions.
With Gloria being the first character from the eighth generation ofPokemon, fans can already start speculating on who might be next. The very obvious choice would be for DeNA games to cave into fan demands and bring theimmensely popular Water-Type Gym leader Nessainto the fray. The other likely starSwordandShieldcharacter to step into thePokemonbattle arena that transcends time and space is the Champion himself, Leon. Although, the more likely scenario is that Victor, the male avatar inSword and Shield, will make sure the rivalry continues by bringing Zamazenta toPokemon Masters EX.
So with a new pairing alongside some additional bonuses, it is well worth going back toPokemon Masters EXand getting a chance to hear Gloria for the first time. Considering The Pokemon Company optednot to give into the meme of Gloria being Scottish, the gems may be a way to mitigate fans upset over the retcon to their headcanon.
