    Little interesting fact. Emmet does have a big smile across his face. He's known for having a very happy expression, but speaks in a serious voice. Ingo however speaks in a more joyful voice, but has a serious face. The duo compliment each other in this aspect very well.

    I'll always be in awe of how Pokemon Legends Arceus rocketed the Subway Bosses' popularity in the west. Japan has always ADORED these guys, to the point where Ingo ranked as the most popular character in Black and White and Emmett ranked as the 3rd most popular character in one poll (N was #2). But most of the western fandom either ignored them or didn't know they existed until Legends Arceus came out.

      I remembered him. I was just casually playing through PLA for the first time, exploring the Coronet Highlands, and then it was him, the man who I bested so many years ago. And he had lost his memory. I still ask why, why did Arceus bring Ingo back in time? Just because he could? To help us out? And why give him amnesia? Why did Arceus (and the writers) make Ingo and Emmet Suffer by sending one back in time?

    Emmet having identical Pokémon to Ingo is theorized to be because they are literally the same Pokémon! Running the doubles train means Emmet probably uses more than six Pokémon on a daily basis, so it would make sense for Ingo to share his team! Also Eelektross is considered to be Emmet's ace while Chandelure is considered to be Ingo's (although you knew that from Legends Arceus ;) )
    Also totally random side fact: Emmet's Galvantula knows Cross Poison, which was only able to be learned through breeding in Gen 5 so the fandom likes to portray Emmet with like 1000 Joltik all the time lol

    There actually *are* tangible rewards besides BP for maintaining long streaks in the Battle Subway, and it's been somewhat of a staple in the series: you can get rare items for doing well in the battle facilities, and I'm not talking about stuff you buy with BP. For example, Chuggaa just missed out on getting *3 PP Ups* in this episode because he didn't talk to the people at the stops between streaks of seven! *That's right, you get a PP Up every time you get a streak of 21 in the Battle Subway!* That's where the regular trains stop (and giving you such an important item for optimizing competitive teams for completing the easier trains was totally on purpose), but the Super Trains keep going! What rewards do you get for continuing on the harder trains?
    - *At 28 wins, you get a Rare Candy!* Nice! You're probably going to have a lot of these and a lot of PP Ups by the time you're done with getting the next reward...
    - Beat the Subway Boss? Great! *Aim for 105 wins and you'll get an extremely rare Lansat Berry!* This berry is traditionally only obtainable from doing well in Battle Facilities (There are other ways to get it and the next reward in SwSh, BDSP, and SV however)
    - Still going after getting over 100 wins? *Aim for 203 to get the even rarer Starf Berry!* 200+ wins in battle facilities is no joke though! They will do everything in their power to end your streak! If you earned this berry from a battle facility, be proud! This is a *hard* achievement!
    Now, does anyone care about those berries to obtain them for competitive purposes? Eeeeeeeeehhhhhh...not really. They're very mediocre pinch berries that raise your critical hit ratio (Lansat) or a random stat by +2 (Starf). They aren't features in consistent competitive strategies, so the berries are basically just glorified trophies to show that you've mastered Pokemon's battle system. They are very nice trophies though.
    And I guess you get actual trophies in your house too for beating the Subway Bosses on the Super Trains. That's pretty cool.

Also, really like that they have Alder’s theme, makes sense as they’re basically the champions of the battle subway. Well done!

    The Battle Subway is a fun version of the (up until recently) staple Battle Tower. The way the music slowly adds instruments the higher in your 7-win streak you are is a nice touch. Ingo and Emmet were just kinda whatever at the time, but insert a more modern game spoiler here.
    While somewhat unlikely, you could attempt to beat the multi-train bosses on your first visit. The trainer's don't use all that strong of mons early on, and when things finally begins to ramp up, you've got your competent partner as back-up. That, and you've got a small selection of fully-evolved mons at your disposal even this early in the game. Azumarill, Leavanny, Crobat or Lucario (if you grind friendship), Sigilyph, the Eeveelutions, etc. They may not have the strongest of movesets, but their bulk will get you through the earlier battles no problem. Yeah, the PWT is a bit faster, but you unlock this earlier.

    Pignati, Entry Log 89: Well, the last time we did this thing went horribly. I can understand Blaise being the uh… completionist she is. Desired to give these subway battles one more go. This time everything clicked and we got to meet the subway bosses Emmet and Ingo again. It was nice to see these guys in their element and get to fight on their terms.
    Blaise successfully fights and beats them on all three train types. Earning herself quite the rare title of having bested them in every way possible. I hear they can go harder but Blaise found that the rewards were minimal and she already got what she wanted from the subway battles. Still, these guys are indeed something else.
    McFly, Entry Log 84: I guess we were having an off day before the last time we tried. Blaise had us go back to the Nimbasa Subway to both conquer it and get enough Battle Points to get Harmony a much-needed upgrade in the Life Orb. A powerful man-made item that amps the power of any move used by 30% at the drawback of being drained of your health a little with every use.
    But with Harmony’s Wonder Guard ability, she can ignore the recoil damage and enjoy the benefit without any worries. It’s a small multi-shaded orb colored in layers of pink that gets darker the deeper you go with a strange orange ring near the middle. Not quite sure how this thing works but my guess is that it draws upon the wearer’s infinity energy to force out more power into the attacks. Most pokémon suffer recoil from the strain unless you have a special ability to ignore such a thing. Harmony sure is lucky.
    Aiden, Entry Log 79: Nothing but fighting today. Blaise went back to the subway battles feeling extra bitter about how they went last time. Well, I cannot deny I felt much the same. At least now we can be satisfied with the results, beating the subway challenges not once but three times. Emmet and Ingo were strong opponents but we didn’t falter and bested them both twice. Yet another set of powerful trainers bested by the newest Pokémon Champion of Unova. All I can say is that I hope we continue to face off against such worthy foes. Even though it does feel like with each bested we will find fewer people who will be able to challenge us in the future. I suppose only time will tell.
    Jade, Entry Log 72: Woo yeah! This was much better! I got to shined far better today than the last couple of super tough battles. Not that getting to Emmet and Ingo was cakewalks though. So many powerful trainers on these trains it’s pretty insane. Plus, I feel as if they’ve all mastered the art of accuracy and critical hits. Well regardless we fought against the odds and won. Now we go explore Pignati’s home without any regrets!
    Harmony, Entry Log 63: Well goodbye Flame Orb and hello Life Orb! Blaise and the others had to work very hard to get this for me. I contributed the best I could but wow! I’m getting the much-needed attack boost I’ve been needing for a while now. I’ve been ignoring my lack of power for a while now since I knew there was no use in complaining. But now, I don’t have to worry about that anymore! From now on I should be able to kick all sorts of butts! Thank you, Blaise, thank you, team!
    Lasagna, Entry Log 31: Fighting on a train has got to be the weirdest sensation I have ever gone through, yes it was. The train bounced and wobbled with every attack and yet everyone in the train was as solid as a rock or at the very least refused to move or be damaged, they did. The floor was also not friendly to my legs, my poor things. Still getting to fight inside of it was an experience I will never forget and for good reasons, yep yep. Despite how awkward it was I found myself having lots of fun getting to learn how to fight in such a weird and tight space, indeed indeed. I wonder if we’ll ever fight in something as unique as that again?

It should be technically possible to do all the HOF related medals in these games with only nine HOF entries, and I do not think Johnstone did exactly this, or at least I don't recall exactly how many HOF entries it took him to get all of those medals.

    I always liked how they split this game's battle facility into normal and "Super" categories. Normal can be done with in-game teams, though as you've seen it can be difficult. Super generally requires EV Trained teams. But by splitting it, you can go straight to the challenging fights without having to worry about slogging through 1-3 rounds of unevolved Pokemon every time you lose (a problem I had with earlier battle facilities).
    I don't think I ever reached the Super Subway Bosses, but there's a few team strategies that make these easier. You generally want a stat-boosting sweeper with Substitute, the Sub is an anti-hax precaution against crits and status because if you don't do that you WILL lose to bad luck eventually. I forget if this was the gen where the AI got wise to the Uxie Trick Choice Scarf Memento strategy and actually switches out, it might have. But I hear Entrainment Truant Duarant works well here. (Give an enemy Truant, switch to someone with Protect and a stat boosting move, sweep)

    For the people wondering, you technically never have to go into Super Singles or Super Doubles trains to earn all medals. The only reward you get is an upgrade on your trainer medal.

    *In Nimbasa City*
    Aidan: Finally, we got our revenge against the Battle Subway.
    Harmony: And we have now secured a Life Orb for me in battle.
    Lasagna: I can tell that's going to come in real handy down the line.
    McFly: I hope so. But it does feel kind of weird to backtrack now of all times.
    Jade: I guess it's better to leave on a higher note than not.
    Pignati: Sure. Let's go with that. Plus it's nice to see Nimbasa City again, all the people and Pokemon around and... Wait what?
    McFly: What is it?
    Pignati: I think that's, Shanir over there. HEY!
    Shanir: *looks over* Woah! Didn't expect to see you guys here.
    Ontario: Shanir! *runs up to her* I'm so happy to see you again! It feels like it's been so long!
    Shanir: I've only been gone for a few days. But it is nice to see all you guys again in person.
    Aidan: How's the hunt going for Shimmer?
    Shanir: Not the best unfortunately. There's just a lot of places she could be hiding, so I'm not sure where she could be or not.
    Lasagna: Well I hope you do find her, and get rid of her for good.
    Shanir: I plan on it. ... Say, where's Shantae and Sasha?
    Pignati: Oh, um. Well, Sasha left to take some time to think for herself and we haven't heard from her since. And Shantae...
    Ontario: She went searching for Shimmer as well.
    Shanir: Why am I not surprised. I just need to find Shimmer and this whole situation will be done.
    McFly: But how are you going to find her? And how do you track a ghost?
    Jade: Say I know! Adam and Ava! I'm sure they could sense Shimmer's presence and track her down!
    Shanir: You alright with that Aidan?
    Aidan: As long as you keep my parents safe and protected, then sure. Go for it.
    Shanir: Then that's the plan. I'll head for Castelia Park and have them track her down.
    Jade: Go get her girl!
    McFly: Send her packing to the shadow realm!
    Pignati: ... Just, be careful. Ok?
    Shanir: Don't worry, I'll be fine. *leaves*
    Ontario: Well then, how bout we get back to Pinwheel Forest and move on.
    Harmony: Sounds perfect. *calls Strutly over*
    Strutly: Bird Up! *flies the gang back to Pinwheel Forest*
    *meanwhile in Castelia Park*
    Shimmer: It won't work.
    Shantae: It has to. Finding N is our best bet in helping you. And they're our only hope of finding him.
    Shimmer: They won't believe us.
    Shantae: Well they have to believe me. You just stay up on the rooftops, and I'll speak to them. Ok?
    Shimmer: ... Ok.
    Shantae: I'll be right back. *goes to speak to Adam and Ava*
    Shimmer: *watches over the ledge before getting another flashback to when the trio was welcomed into Team Plasma*
    Shimmer: *dragging a cage full of Pokemon* I believe this is a suitable amount of Pokemon for your quest of liberation I presume.
    Grunt: Oh yeah, way more than enough. You three work pretty hard I gotta say.
    Shantae: It just feels great to be out actually doing stuff you know.
    Sasha: Like we're actually doing something with our lives.
    Grunt: Well then, I would like to formally welcome you three into the ranks of Neo-Team Plasma. May your efforts on the field help bring about Lord Ghetsis' deepest desires for the world of Pokemon liberation.
    Shimmer: Wow, finally. This sense of satisfaction, it feels so incredible.
    Shantae: My body is already tingling from excitement!
    Sasha: And as long as we'll together, nothing can stand in our way.
    Grunt: Alright, enough talk. We need you three over in Virbank City, and watch out for any teens and their Pokemon trying to get in your way. The boss has had one too many experiences with them.
    Shimmer: You can count on us!
    *flashback ends as Shimmer is awoken by Shantae*
    Shantae: Shimmer? Everything alright?
    Shimmer: Y-Yeah. I'm good. So what did they say?
    Shantae: It was a tough sell, but they agreed to track down N.
    Shimmer: Ok. That's good.
    Shantae: So now we wait.
    Shimmer: Yeah. Wait.
    Shantae: You sure you're fine?
    Shimmer: Trust me, I'm all good.
    Shantae: Alright. If you say so.
    *Shimmer and Shantae float atop the roofs waiting for Adam and Ava to return*

    I used to think Ingo was a dimension traveler from Zelda Ocarina ot Time only he shaved his Luigi mustache and dressed more fabulously. But I guess I was kinda right given his appearance in Legends Arceus. Though he sadly has no relation to Ingo from OOT. But that would technically make him older than Emmett by quite a bit.

    There are actually reasons to go through the super subways.

As far as I know, there is no other way to obtain these in a legitimate fashion in these games.

    Yanma and Yanmega= No changes in their names
    Toxicroak=Coatox, from Coa (croak) and toxique (toxic)

    Pineco=Pomdepic, from pomme de pain (pinecone) and pic (spike)
    Leafeon=Phyllali, from phullon (greek from leaf), chlorophyle and the french eeveelution suffix -li
    And because I don't want to leave it out since I don't know when Chuggaa will cover the gen 6 games
    Sylveon=Nymphali, from nymphe (nymph) and the suffix -li
    Foretress=The name doen't change since it works in french too

      I probably butchered a lot of those names trying to read them. I don't really speak French, except for a few words I know, like Chapeau being hat for instance. But I think I did a pretty good job reading some of those considering that I don't know French very well. 😉

    There is actually a reward for beating the 49th battle in the Super Trains, you get a trophy in your house in Aspertia City for each of the 3 subway bosses you defeat!
    You really don't have to do this it takes forever and the trainers start bringing legendaries, it gets ridiculous and frustrating as hell
    For anyone who does want to, I would strongly recommend using an rain team with Drizzle Politoed, Swift Swim Kingdra and a strong Thunder user for the Double and Multi Battle (Using a second DS) Trains, takes a bit to grind up but makes the subway a LOT easier.

    The dumbest pokemon I ever encountered on battle subway was a Meganium with grass whistle, substitute, rest and double team. It has no way to do damage to you at all or lower your stats, the only thing it can do to you is lower your PP and put you to sleep for a few turns, and the sleep turns just means you lose PP more slowly. It just becomes a never-ending battle until Meganium runs out of rest PP and/or you get lucky to hit through +6 double team.
