From what I got from the original tweet, that's from a DS game that person's son is playing. He named the characters that. And apparently some characters are female There might be more funny details that I missed though...

Yep, basically they were amused when they looked at what their son had called his Pokemon (particularly bemused as to why the son even included Brian). Also, the disregard for gender was typical of their son. I guess their son was raised on a diet of Yuzu and figure skating

Of course, Yuzu is the legendary pokemon Giratina

I can't blame him for looking down before 4S3T , be it for concentration or to check something.

 

 

Yeah, I don't blame him on that either!  

 

But yeah, after I saw people mention it, I kind of paid attention and it does tend to happen. He doesn't spend the entire time looking down but it's more noticeable in H&L. Not so much in LGC where he is actively interacting with the audience and judges. These are just things that caught my attention but they may not be very noticeable to others, as seen here.

whispers it's actually Groudon! #pokemonnerd but also a legendary Pokemon, so your comment still fits!

 

I'm more amused that the son has like 3 Azumarills and 1 Maril. I guess he was breeding them???

I can also always enjoy Patrick even when he isn't having a good day technically (Canadian 3A curse!)

I have hard relationship with Patrick  I like his powerful jumps and his fast skating but I just not always emotionally connect with him))

And I always enjoy Jason Brown and Mikhail Kolyada. 

Mikhail is great (if he has not a bad day but this implies almost to everybody)

I admit I never noticed either, but I was thinking... given that H&L is a more introspective program, wouldn't it actually make sense to look down? Of course, I don't know if that's why he does it, but looking down on an introspective program doesn't seem at odds to me...

 

And shame on me, I did not even notice that was Pokemon...

I never had noticed this until someone mentioned it on GS. And even after that I am not sure he really looks down a lot, at least it never has caught my attention too much. 

Probably it has something to do with the concentration and the program itself. He tried to look at the audience in LGC.

 

I never actively noticed it either until it was pointed out but I'm still not exactly bothered by it. Especially in H&L, which is a very introspective program, it actually kind of fits, it adds to the pensiveness.

 

Tbh, people complaining about Yuzu looking down sound to me just like the people complaining about his toe pointing- it's nitpicking.

 

Eta: @KatjaThera we posted it at the same time

[axelsandwich]

The Pokemon talk got me on a random tangent thinking about what the various top figure skaters would be if they were Pokemon and somehow I feel like Yuzu would be a good Gallade (a huge part is because its baby/primary form is Ralts)

For me Mikhail has great potential as a skater and he is brave enough to try 4Lz in each competiion and fall everytime.

Sorry for OT.

[CupidsBow]

I like a lot of skaters  I find myself sort of rooting for everyone in some way, the only one i don't particularly enjoy watching out of the top men is Nathan tbh.

but when it comes to everyone against each other ... sorry Shoma, sorry Javi, sorry Boyang etc. but I want Yuzu to whoop your butts. But even that comes down to I want Yuzu to skate well, and Yuzu doing good just...equals him taking gold (though he was amazing at 4cc imo and still got silver).

Exactly how I feel. He did used to have a habit of looking down a lot (not as much now) and when he did this in H&L some people were quick to grab onto that little detail - "oh, he's back to his old habits! I hate it when he looks down!" Honestly, because of how introspective H&L is I felt it kind of fit the program. I must admit though that I tend to be more lenient with Yuzu mainly because there is no harsher critic for Yuzuru Hanyu than Yuzu himself. Which means, I know that he is aware of every little criticisms and is actively trying to find ways to improve - the way he now releases his foot in his Biellman is a great example. I'm actually more scared of the day when he is actually satisfied of a performance rather than saying he needs to practice more.

Somehow, it really fits him well!

Yeah, exactly because it's an introspective program, it doesn't really bother me either.

 

Of course, when it happens during his set up for jumps, then it becomes concentration mode looking down and not instrospectively feeling the nature and trees looking down.
