>>50851413I guess. I'm actually just starting SWSH this week, same buddy has these games but doesn't play 'em, so I'm feasting on shit these few weeks, and Marnie indeed seems to just kinda... exist. I didn't think coomers were THAT easily hypnotized.
Also, I was so excited for Volo, but got so disappointed by that payoff. Everyone has been like "Volo is the hardest fight in the series", and I was looking forwards to getting my ass kicked and building a team to counter him.
I spammed Gyarados because I'm a retarded meme machine, and it was getting increasingly funny that applying a single Gyarados made Hisui's problems disappear without exception, and using only Gyarados regardless of the situation was making my friend laugh, and I was so excited that he'd put an end to my only Gyarados ways, but Gyarados absolutely wrecked him. I think I only lost 3 of my Gyarados in the fight, and I was like, 7 levels lower than him. Props, he killed more Gyarados than literally anything else in the game, even that fukkin Electrode, but goddamn.
Either Gyarados is the secret cheat code for PLA and using 6 of them breaks the game, or goddamn is the average person shit at pokemon if spamming Gyarados is better than 90% of players. Or somewhere in between.
What a weird game. The atmosphere, plot, and worldbuilding were so, so strange.
Speaking of which, what's his name, the Rowan, commander guy from PLA.
He suffered about 30, but deserved to suffer about 80. God damn what a retard. Dude was about to fucking banzai charge his entire civilization, which collectively struggles to catch 3 pokemon, explicitly including fucking Bidoof which asks you to catch it, mind you, into gods after making an enemy of you, the most terrifying person to set foot on the planet.
What if you HAD been evil, just, think about that. What if he was RIGHT. And he pisses you off, puts on his special needs suit, and declares he's got this.
No, he deserved to be absolutely and utterly humiliated.
