Gilmour

Gilmour is Kimberly Bond's Galarian Corsola, and the fifteenth (and latest) Pokemon that she acquired on her journey, as well as the tenth (and latest) Pokemon that she caught in the Galar region.

Personality

If Orwell's oddity was Newspeak, and Peechee's oddity was Nadsat (and also a kind of-split personality), Gilmour's oddity is a complete and utter obsession with mortality. Gilmour is very mysterious and pessimistic, often muttering to himself about visions that he has recently been having. These visions are frequently related to his own mortality, which he is very frightened of. Whether or not these visions are actually related to his own death is as of yet unknown, however, and thus far, no visions have been seen on screen. Gilmour rarely expresses any emotion besides sorrowful disdain and fear, and often has a habit of pausing every two or three words; for example, the phrase "I believe my demise is imminent" becomes "I believe... my demise... is imminent..." Gilmour is also rather literal- especially when it comes to words such as "sick", "dead", "corpsing", and so on. His first line on-screen was him misunderstanding Gallag's surfer lingo when the latter referred to Zacian and Zamazenta as "sick" (as in "awesome"). Despite his mysterious behavior, however, Gilmour is very much a caring Pokemon who is desperate for a chance to live his life to the fullest, to the point where it was the main reason why he accepted Kim's invitation to come with her in the first place. In battle, Gilmour has shown himself to be surprisingly adept; his main battle strategy involves confusing the opponent before hitting them with Hex for double damage.

Kim's personality file on him reads as follows:

"NEW POKEMON CAUGHT: GILMOUR THE GALARIAN CORSOLA. IN A WORD, HE IS... VERY MYSTERIOUS. HE IS ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED WITH HIS MORTALITY AND APPARENTLY HAS HAD PSYCHIC VISIONS— OF HIS OWN DEATH. I HOPE TO ARCEUS THAT HE IS NOT, IN FACT, ACTUALLY FORESEEING HIS DEATH, AS TO HAVE ONE OF MY POKEMON ACTUALLY DIE WOULD BE NOTHING IF NOT A TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE. BESIDES, HE IS A GHOST-TYPE— AREN'T THEY PRACTICALLY IMMORTAL?"

Trivia

• Gilmour was named after David Gilmour, one of the main lead singers of Pink Floyd, due to his obsession with mortality and consistent visions; Pink Floyd was known for their philosophical themes and psychedelic music. His signature text, which alternates between gray and rainbow colors every word, is a reference to the cover of the Pink Floyd album The Dark Side of the Moon, which features a white light being refracted through a prism into rainbow colors. The white was changed to gray for the sake of visibility in light mode.
• Gilmour's chat handle is EARTHBOUND_Misfit, a reference to both the EARTHBOUND video games and a reference to the lyric "Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit" from the Pink Floyd song "Learning to Fly". His Hasslemon handle, according to Goldenheart388, is psychedelicMortality (PM).
• According to Goldenheart388, Gilmour's character theme is the aforementioned "Learning to Fly", his Broadway character theme is "Memory" from Cats, and his headcanon voice is Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort from the Harry Potter franchise at a slightly higher pitch.
