Pokemon General [SFW, No NSFW]

@Meanlucario  
You know what I mean.

My Ralts (Homer) just evolved into Kirlia!

@igotnopicks
 
He also failed at beating or capturing Eternatus.

@The Equestrian Zodiac
 
Who is this?

@Littlecabbit  
He tried to do it by himself. Of course he was going to fail at it. Since your player character needed help to catch it.

@igotnopicks  
He did everything else off-screen without the player, so why is that too much?

@Meanlucario  
I think it’s easier for him to beat the one pokemon. That’s in the way of trainers succession than it is for him capturing a legendary by himself. Either than or he needed Rose’s help and Rose is a jerk.

@igotnopicks  
Or the game decided to actually let the player take part in the story in the final act. And Leon losing to a legendary for story reasons is no different than Alder losing to a legendary for story reasons. At least it’s not forced down your throat that Alder is the undefeated champion.

@Meanlucario  
No but Alder actually lost to a trainer before you could even fight him. Looks at N Not saying N is a good trainer or a compelling character because you beat N in the game multiple times. But I was hoping to beat Alder first. Then the game goes, nope.

@igotnopicks  
Not like the game was hyping up a final showdown between you and N or that you were told that N arrived ahead of you at the League.

@Meanlucario  
The game never tells you that N arrived ahead of you and blantly says that he defeated the elite 4. Which is suspicious to me.

@igotnopicks  
I remember it hinting at it. And you say that like only the player is allowed to beat the Elite Four, which was never the case (just look at Red/Blue).

@Meanlucario  
I know that isn’t the case. Since you will be facing the Elite 4 at the end of the game with the Champion being the end of the game. Since Red/Blue made that very clear. And yes Blue was ahead of you throughout the game. Barry was ahead of you thoughout the game too til the last badge. That is why he showed up at the end.

@igotnopicks  
Barry challenges you right before you fight the Elite Four.

@Meanlucario  
I think at that point of the game he’s still behind you.

@Background Pony #8CF0
 
That is one pissed off Piplup

@igotnopicks  

 
Dianthe, or whatever the hell her name was in XY. She has MAYBE 15 lines in the entire game! She’s such a blank, boring character, I couldn’t even be bothered to remember her name properly!

@Random-Rambling  
Diantha if I remember correctly. She does have a kicken ass theme but yeah she lacked character same goes for your rivals in X and Y.

@igotnopicks
 
Everyone lacked character in X and Y, it wasn’t just the rivals and Champion.

@Random-Rambling  
I came up with a bit of actual story for her as part of my XY expansion project. But most everyone in the actual game was pretty flat.

 
Smol Dawn.

 
grow ups

@RogueBadnik
 
Ever since Sun and Moon introduced “older” versions of Red and Blue/Gary, I’ve been CRAVING older versions of every Pokemon protagonist!

@Random-Rambling  
Including Ash.
