>>33985985damn epic you sure got me bro
the reality is if anyone else suggested a pokemon story where every villainous team joined forces, ignoring their individual motivations, for a stupid take over da world plot under the banner of a villainous team that had literally 0 intention of ever "ruling the world" (Rocket) they'd be laughed at. hard.
like i said, no matter how dumb something is, people will defend it as long as gamefreak does it.
