CHOOSE MY FATE

[Card VII]

I'm willing to play it, I just didn't want to play Torchic because I've used it about a million times. I only ever played GenIV once, so I'm wondering if maybe it's as bad as I remember.

I don't understand how someone doesn't like a Pokemon game when they've loved previous generations.

It's the exact same fucking game.

They have never made any considerable changes to the Pokemon game formula except in Gen V, which were all very minimal but very interesting and not game breaking in any way.

It honestly doesn't make any sense. They are exactly the same.

No, it really isn't.

For one the dialogue in GenIV actually made me feel like it thought I was fucking retarded. Never in any of the generations has the character dialogue been that bad. Secondly, the motives for why the evil super-generic Team Galactic, who resemble a bunch of Lady Gaga background dancers, are trying to summon [GOD-BEAST] is never really explained. Why was Cyrus trying to summon the legendary? To rule the world, I guess? That's usually it. How did he intend to control it? The orb things? I don't recall it ever mentioning those controlled them, only that they summoned them.

Every other evil organization had some plan.

Rockets took over Silph Co, the largest company in the Pokemon universe to expand their organization because they wished to dominate the world using Pokemon in general. They created Mewtwo, but he questioned why he should follow orders from lowly humans and escaped.

Teams Aqua and Magma wanted to change the face of the Earth for their (admittedly sort of dumb in Aqua's stance) plans to expand life, and planned to use one of two orbs to control their specific legend. It backfired, however, and the beasts raged out of control, to which they saw the error of their ways.

Plasma was basically protrayed as PETA, but in truth it was all a guise set up by their leader to dominate the world, destroying the mind of a young boy in the process to control the power of the version legendary.

Also, the designs for the Pokemon in GenIV all mostly sucked.

It's all in the dialogue.

[Knifey Keith]

I recommend none of the presented options. Instead I propose an alternative starting location and pokemon.

You start in Odessa with brokunbotol.

Holy fucking shit.

You do realize what you are doing, right?

They don't give a shit about the story because they also have to market this shit to eight year olds. It's hard to make something entertaining to a grown man whilst simultaneously marketing to small children.

Moreover, if you haven't already been just speeding through the dialogue so you can kick someone's ass, you're doing it wrong. Some games are meant for story. Pokemon games, and a lot of Japanese games, weren't.

Aahahaha nothing so nice.

You're in Odessa, Ukraine! You're fucked.

[♠Ace♠]

There is now worse fucked than death.
