>>31080394Mind control is usually some sort of cop-out in kid's plots. Good usage of mind control delves into the implications of ethics, the lack of free will, and facing an enemy that causes betrayal. Mind control also must have some sort of counter.
If I were to rewrite this, I would make it so that Dark Matter bends or breaks minds of Pokemon by exploiting their mental weaknesses (for example: pushing someone's envy over the edge to induce conflict, neutralize potential threats that it can't exploit through despair or fear, manipulating the wrathful or overconfident to their doom). The reason why you two are exempt from fighting its corruption is because you are not a Pokemon and thus Dark Matter is not a part of you and your partner
is mew and is mentally adaptable.
>>31080373>>31080140I felt like Dark Matter was wasted potential, but if we were to use Dark Matter to its proper potential, then PMD would probably be really dark. Chun kinda fucked themselves on this one.
