i’m thinking about writing a fanfic about gym leader whitney right now and i gotta say

would i want to play against a clefairy who knows metronome in a high stakes competitive battle? no, of course not

does whitney’s clefairy knowing metronome unlock a whole wealth of narrative potential? absolutely

re: bad takes from pokémon fans 

some pokémon moves are for interesting competitive play. some pokémon moves are for interesting storytelling. it’s wrong to want to limit the games to just one or the other, i·m·o

and in the context of a video game, where the stakes are very low, it’s nice to have moments where you snatch victory out of the jaws of defeat by hitting a 10 with magnitude
