Trivia

• Elio has never appeared in a story event or main story area that Selene has not also appeared in. They are the only pair of protagonists with this distinction.
• So far, it is unclear whether Elio or Selene is based on the player character of the Alola-based games. They both moved from Kanto to Alola, went on the island challenge, and have a Meowth as a family pet.
• In the story event Galar's Poké Ball Enthusiast, it is confirmed that Elio knows that Professor Kukui is the Masked Royal.
  • This was first implied in the Countdown 2021 log-in bonus, where Elio starts to address the Masked Royal as "Professor" before catching himself.

Origin

Elio's design is based on his appearance in Pokémon Sun and Moon. Popplio is one of the starter Pokémon of Alola in the core series games. Popplio, Brionne, and Primarina's Dex entries come from Pokémon Ultra Sun.
