Iono (Japanese: ナンジャモ Nanjamo) is an influencer and streamer who is the Gym Leader of Levincia's Gym, known officially as the Levincia Gym. She specializes in Electric-type Pokémon. She hands out the Electric Badge to Trainers who defeat her.

Overview

Character

Iono is a streamer, online video creator and an influencer from the Paldea region, a livestream called "Iono Zone" (Japanese: ドンナモンジャTV Donnamonja TV).[1] She is known to stream her work as a Gym Leader, and prioritizes viewer numbers and engagement on her channel;[2] as such, she never misses the chance to have a collaboration with another popular figure, with characters in the game mentioning she's done so with Tulip on one occasion.[3] However, her popularity is so massive to the point she has trouble casually going on picnics with her Pokémon due to all the attention she attracts.[4] To add to her charm, Iono also has the habit of mixing languages together and moving animatedly, which both she and her fans refer to as "Iono-ese".[3] In one of Salvatore's language classes, he even references her as a popular streamer who "smashes several languages together." The game states that her viewers' reactions are more important to Iono than victory in battle.

According to one of her fans that appears during her Gym Challenge, they refer to themselves as part of the "Iono Hype Squad", often referring to her as "Miss Iono".[3]

Appearance

Iono's Scarlet & Violet settei

Whilst her age is unknown, characters in Levincia state that Iono has been a streamer for quite a few years, wondering how old she really is.[3] Regardless, Iono appears to be a small, thin woman with long arms and legs. Her teal and pink hair reaches down below her knees, with two wide ponytails of contrasting colors that follow behind her. At the end of each ponytail, there are "bulbs" with alternating pink and teal surfaces. The rest of her hair is fairly short on top, with a short pink bang protruding from a some hair above her forehead in the appearance of a ribbon. It's unknown whether this ribbon shape is an accessory or is actually a styled part of her hair. Iono's eyes are a gradient of various colors, such as purple, pink, and a light yellow, with her eyelashes having a black appearance until their very ends, where they look like segmented purple triangles that are disconnected from the actual lash itself. In 2D adaptations of her design, such as her official artwork and anime appearances, the purple segments of her eyelashes appear behind her hair regardless of the perspective, but in both her debut reveal stream as well as Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, this is not the case. Alongside her short, thin eyebrows, it may suggest that Iono's hair color is naturally black. Her teeth are notably different from that of other characters, with each tooth sporting a jagged shark-like appearance. It's possible that this is a reference to the design of popular virtual YouTuber characters in the real world.

She primarily wears an oversized yellow and black jacket featuring her logo on the front, with thin straps at the end of each sleeve that feature Poké Balls on their ends. The sheer size of this jacket is enough to cradle her phone, as seen in her concept art. Underneath the jacket, she wears a silver bodysuit that hooks around her neck at the top with a screw-like object, covering her back and chest, with a black textured outfit underneath that reaches down to her thighs. The screw-like object seen near her neck is also embedded onto the outside each of Iono's shoes, which feature a notable high heel and are a similar silvery color to her bodysuit, with the base of each shoe being a yellow color. Between her shoes, bodysuit, and what appears to be a thigh-high sock covering all of her right leg, they all feature a repeating hexagonal pattern. Her left thigh has a black strap wrapped around it, featuring some unknown gray text.

Iono is also accessorized with two hair clips that look like Magnemite. Although they are not actually Pokémon, they can be animated independently at will, presumably by Iono herself. Her concept art in both the games and anime show that these Magnemite-inspired hair clips are able to react mimic her reactions, such as when Iono is in a state of shock or anger. As seen in her reveal trailer, the hair clips can emote with a variety of different expressions shown on their eyes, in a way identical to an actual Magnemite. Despite all of this, Iono never uses any Pokémon from the Magnemite family on her team.

As part of her personality, Iono moves animatedly in a variety of ways. During her streams, she will often shake in place with clenched teeth when in an awkward or otherwise tense situation. During a battle, she steps up and down in place, an action that is also noted on her concept art. Due to her oversized jacket, Iono's hands are rarely seen, leading to actions such as waving or even holding a Poké Ball being done under the coat.
