Rewatching this now that I'm fully awake and not at 6:40 AM. I really love all the personality that Bea's Mach-fam have. https://twitter.com/Pokemon/status/1229756489977520128
They're all so unique and precious and it's nice subtle boosts like this that point to the fact that just because they're the same species doesn't mean they don't have different personalities~ Animations like these really accentuate that fact in a beautiful way!
Machop is young and very eager and wants to support Bea, Like a grade schooler supporting their big brother or sister~ Machop also wants to push itself just as hard so they can keep up and be cool. Machop is seen exerting itself in every workout scene, trying to prove themselves
Machoke is such an adolescent/young adult, who's tired & kinda doesn't wanna be there. Machoke's expressions scream "Why did I have to come with?" even if they know that it's important to be together/support their trainer.
Also so many shots of Machoke looking very reluctant~

Machamp's the matured one. A combination of the other three (Machop, Machoke AND Bea). Machamp looks like it knows and values WHY they're all out in the wild area & why it matters to Bea that they train. Machamp also has a sense of responsibility and knowing when enough is enough
The 4 of them are a nice little team, each highlighting a unique quality that all sum up who Bea is as a trainer, but also can be looked at as healthy reminders of what Bea shouldn't forget as she tries to get stronger~
