Emolga Used Double Team!
More notes on Pokémon White! I am now just past Nimbasa City.
I was a little let down by the ferris wheel scene, largely because I'd somehow been led to believe that it was a RAGING HOTBED OF N/PLAYER SEXUAL TENSION and in the end it was just a raging hotbed of N telling me he was the leader of Team Plasma. I was quite pleased by the revelation, though, because, unless I've severely misinterpreted N's character, it means that at least Team Plasma's leader genuinely believes in their philosophy.
Regarding the Pokémon Musical: ahahaha, what? That's probably the strongest argument I've ever seen for Team Plasma's cause. I dressed my Servine in a top hat and bow tie and sent it onstage to twirl a cane, and someone came up to me afterwards to tell me it was so wonderful that it may have changed their life. I love this ridiculous game.
And then the scene in which Bianca's father accosts her and tries to make her come home actually made me tear up. A Pokémon game made me cry. I was not expecting this. The moment the scene had ended, I went in search of the music in it. More piano music, please, Pokémon games.
I am inordinately amused by the sign for Marvelous Bridge. 'Truly marvelous! And also a bridge!'
Cheren is really interesting! He's your friend, but his attitude to raising Pokémon sort of reminds me of your rival in Gold/Silver. Cheren isn't as actively cruel as Mr ??? (he no longer says 'My name's ???' in SoulSilver, but I still can't resist naming him 'Query'), but they're both focused on power as an ultimate goal and inclined to view their Pokémon purely as a means to that end. NO, CHEREN, YOU HAVE TO TREAT YOUR POKÉMON WITH TRUST AND LOVE.
Not speaking of trust and love: I hate Emolga. I hate it. It's adorable, yes, but I hate it. IT'S AN ELECTRIC TYPE THAT FLIES, SO YOU CAN'T HIT IT WITH GROUND MOVES, AND THEN IT PARALYSES YOU AND USES DOUBLE TEAM EIGHT MILLION TIMES SO YOU CAN'T HIT IT WITH ANYTHING. Not to mention Volt Switch. Go away, Emolga, you absolute git of an adorable flying squirrel.
