Hey everyone! This book is basically me giving my opinion and discussing everything in Paw Patrol, from characters to episodes to ships! Just a simple way to get to know me better :)
El spañol chihuahua! *musico festivo* (please excuse my horrible spanish XD)
Tracker is a Spanish chihuahua who made its debut in season 3. He lives in the jungle with his owner, Carlos, and rides a badass jeep. 😎
FACTS - Tracker is the second bilingual character in the series, speaking fluently in both English and Spanish, the first being François.
- However, he is the only bilingual member of the PAW Patrol, and is the only bilingual animal on the show.
- Tracker was first deployed with Chase and Skye in Tracker Joins the Pups.
- Tracker was first deployed with Rocky, Rubble and Marshall in The Pups' Winter Wonder Show.
- Tracker has never been first deployed with Zuma or Everest as a pair of two.
- Tracker has been deployed for backup with Rubble and Zuma in Pups Save a Giant Plant.
- The multi-tool function in Tracker's pup-pack contains a Swiss army knife.
- In the PAW Patrol Live!: Race to the Rescue stage production, Tracker was confirmed to be 7 years old.
- Tracker mentioned one of his relatives in Sea Patrol: Pirate Pups to the Rescue (Tracker related to Arrby confirmed¿?) and became the first pup to mention his relatives.
- In the same episode, he shows that he knows how to read music and play a flute.
First Thoughts The first episode with Tracker, Tracker joins the Pups! is probably my favourite out of all the Tracker episodes. He talks like a Dora character by emphasizing every other syllable, which annoyed me a bit. But his Spanish accent makes up for that. Just listening to Tracker speak Spanish soothes my ears. Really. Maybe I just have a thing for Spanish. Don't judge me.
Or you can judge me, it's really your choice. 😂
Anyway, the episode definitely made a good job on focusing on Tracker's personality traits and his fears. So it gave me a very good first impression.
Current Thoughts Okay, so we're mid season 4, and we've had less than 7 Tracker episodes. Explain SPINMATER? EXPLAIN?!
As you can tell, there are not enough Tracker episodes. And the reason for that is simple. Tracker doesn't have many purposes.
If you see the episodes from season 4, they all have unrealistic plots like in the episodes Pups Save a Monkey-dinger and Pups Save a Big Hairy, because in reality, Tracker's main use is, to uh, track. So after a couple episodes when all the realistic possibilities are ruled out, they start making unrealistic plots. And personally, I prefer the realistic episodes, which is why I'm such a huge fan of season 1.
Also, I think Tracker was a bit rushed. Instead of barking, he says Oy-oy, and he looks much too large to be a chihuahua. To be honest, his characteristics resemble more to the ones of a Basenji, a completely different species of dog. I think the producers added him to help the younger audience learn Spanish, or to expand to their Spanish audience in general. In addition, a lot of his pup-packs tools are similar's to Rocky's.
Now, there are a couple of factors that make me dislike Tracker. The first one being that he's not very relatable. All the characters have distinct personalities. Marshall is warm and clumsy, Chase is adamant, Everest is bashful and outgoing, etc. Tracker is just... charming? I personally think that Tracker's personality is very wishy-washy, and nothing stable has been established. To me, Tracker is more of a filler character than a main one. Once again, the producers just rushed to air him without really giving him something memorable.
The second factor is less as a factor in the show, but it's a devastating one for the fandom. It's the fact that I can't really find anyone to ship Tracker with. This is the reason why he has been getting much less attention that all the others. Even Sweetie got more attention than him! And to all of you that say that TrackerxEverest is a good ship, please excuse me while I vomit all over your a**. TRACKER CANNOT BE SHIPPED WITH EVEREST. THAT IS FINAL.
So as you guys can tell, Tracker is not one of my favourite characters, but that's just my opinion. If you have a different opinion, that's completely fine. I'm open to all perspectives, so please leave yours in the comments below! And remember, keep suggesting ideas!
Until next time!
