pokemon games love to do the thing where you learn about a cool legendary pokemon from someone who's studied it and searched for it their whole life, and then go "great! i'll catch it within the hour"
i don't need an ogrepon actually. i don't play vgc
sv
it's genuinely kind of weird to me that ogrepon takes such a strong a liking to the player so immediately. it feels completely unjustified. like yes i brought you back the mask you dropped and oh oops you're in trouble with the loyal three, dw i can handle it. kieran just cleared your name in the village that resented you, forever. like i get why you'd be grateful to me but why are you so resentful towards him?
and like, kieran is wrong to try to force ogrepon to come with him when it clearly made a choice but also, why is he treated so horribly by the narrative about it lmao. he's a child struggling with feelings of jealousy, i don't feel good about making him run away wailing
i hope the indigo disk is nicer to him
re: sv
@monorail the idea, i think, is two things:
again it’s so short and clearly they just want the power fantasy of the whole thing fur the player enough to not really justify the whole deal well. but whatever
