"Stay away from the banshee, she'll control you" is anti yuri propaganda. What if I want to be her fucked up puppet huh.

gavv watch 15

the horrors begin.

poor hanty. he wants to be a kuuga character so bad but hes like 20 years late and now he has to deal with this goober getting into situations at every moment of every day.

theyre so mean to him (affectionate)

"What do you MEAN the [insert disliked football team] beat [insert liked football team] at the finals?!"

i love how incomprehensible gavv as a whole is. its absolutely HORRIFYING when youre in the loop but like to anyone out of the loop its just a guy holding pudding

he got so into his catchphrase being ignored/refuted that he *forgot it used to be a question* and not just him declaring he was about to kick somebodys ass god i love shoma

one-way doors. fun trick. no wonder shoma had no idea where he was going if they can open to any door anywhere.

oh now thats just NOT FAIR thats fucking broken... and also deeply efficient. he snagged 15 people in a single shot. why isnt stomach inc doing this again???

gavv watch episode 14

its so easy to forget how good kamen rider is at cinematography sometimes. theyre really good at framing shots like this.

hm! hate that for what it implies about shomas childhood!

i love how the transition from shoma to the gavv to this makes it seem like his cooking was so good it caused an actual explosion

new lows of Bad Father-hood!

also im endlessly pleased that instead of modeling like a more detailed beard onto the rest of the face they just bought a wizard beard wig and stapled it to the helmet

their eyes glow too...? so this is granute powers, not just generally shoma being a fucking freakazoid as originally speculated

this is the BEST reiwa upgrade form dont fucking @ me.

also i dont appreciate the fact that theyre seeming go down the "i know they might have spent literally our entire childhoods kicking me while im down but I Wish We Couldve Been Friends" angle. i get that theyre blood related but like... i dunno. feels bad.

gavv watch episode 13

oh opening this one with a bang are we

hanto/shouma halfbrothers confirmed???

oh shit are we getting close to christmas??? fucking christ i dont know any other media that can go "Merry Christmas!" and have that function as a fucking warning klaxon

shomas backstory is like somebody playing tetris and deciding "hey we can fit some more pieces in here we can set this up for a combo"

who the FUCK is this??? where is his trenchcoat??? hanto were you robbed? do you need help? this feels wrong and i cant put my finger on why

oh shomas building himself a legend, is he? i bet sooner or later the show will move from part-timers to outright bounty hunters

i dont know why im surprised by anything this franchise does at this point

OH THEY LOOK SO COOL

WHY THE FUCK DOES SILLY CANDY MAN HAVE ALL THE BEST SUITS WHAT THE FUCK

oh so the christmas disaster is that shoma dies

Y'know what? I was going to write a longer post. I was. But I'll own that. I'll own Black and White with a smile on my goddamned face. I can't believe I entertained this for as long as I did, especially seeing as how I fucking despise N. You want to know where I stand? You want to know why people think N is a hypocrite edgelord piece of shit? Fine, here's my goddamn manifesto.

He talks about Pokemon liberation. He believes that people use Pokemon as tools and that they will become perfect beings once seperated from humanity. Of course, N will still have Pokemon because he knows better, because N isn't like the rest of those humans, he Understands better than any of them. Thus, he will still have his Pokemon to use as tools when he enforces worldwide segregation.

And it would be segregation. While N is stupid enough to believe that people would willingly do as he says just because he's on a dragon, this won't work on everyone. So many people will resist out of basic morality, out of hatred for Team Plasma, or even just for the sake of a good fight. So eventually, N will be forced to lay down the law. Can't have people using Pokemon as tools, right? He's got to stop them. And when he does, people will be seperated from their Pokemon at - effectively - gunpoint.

And yes, it would be worldwide. You think N would stop at just Unova? You think the sort of person who would enforce his worldview by force would stop after just one country?

Hey, let's talk about those Pokemon, shall we? Most media in this franchise shows that people treat Pokemon as family. Some people treat them as pets, sure, but it is clear in many circumstances that people outright adopt Pokemon into their family unit. As children. As siblings. As parents. N wants to destroy this, tearing families apart on a whim because he thinks you, as a human being, do not deserve to have them.

He's Ghetsis in a fancy coat. He has the exact same plan as his father, to disarm the populace and then enforce his opinions and politics on people by means of force. The only difference is that N will do it for "the right reasons", even though it's fundamentally identical to what his lunatic father would do.

I am opposed to this. All of it. I refuse to accept ANY excuse for it. I am opposed to anyone anywhere in all realities who thinks that any of this is okay in any capacity. N is a monster for even considering this as a plan, but the fact that he goes through with it marks him as beyond redemption. I don't give a shit about what he's been through. He isn't Giovanni or Cyrus in some distant office apathetically plotting out how to achieve their goals, N looked people in the goddamned eyes and saw how much they loved their families and friends and decided that he had the right to hurt them.

He's a bad person. That's black and white.

That's my goddamn stance. I won't debate it any further, not with you and not with fucking ANYONE.

Wow, I can't believe some of the old message boards for Pokemon gen 5, especially for the characters. It's full of people saying stuff like: "All the characters are so awful. N is a preachy hypocritical little neckbeard just like everyone else in Team Plasma, the guy just watched Death note once and thinks he is so edgy", like, you're free to not like gen five or the characters, but these comments just seem like they come from people who haven't played the game in ages and are going off incredibly fuzzy memories, or did the whole story of being raised by wild animals and then being taken in and lied to, manipulated by a cult to be groomed into a puppet leader and the inherent pain and complications that come with it just completely go over their heads? As I've heard, N acts a lot like real people who were raised in cults and them got out of it eventually. Not to mention Bianca standing up to her overbearing father or her and Cheren's issues in general, or Hugh's entire reason he is so abrasive despite being a genuinely good person. I just really don't understand what could have been missed here or why anyone would think there's any reason to genuinely hate these characters?

[sunsetconcert]

You haven't yet been recognized as the hero, have you? How disappointing. I actually kind of liked you a little. Through our many battles, I got the feeling that you might be a Trainer who truly cares for Pokémon! But I was kidding myself. The idea of Trainers getting to know each other through battles is ridiculous! You have two options. Challenge me to a fight you can't win, or leave this place and watch the birth of a new world where Pokémon are free of people! Zekrom/Reshiram! Come to me!

This is literally two minutes before he does a 180. Until you kick his teeth in and tell him that he's wrong, N is still 100% ready to go forward with the plan to segregate people from Pokemon and damn the consequences. "The longer my journey continued, the more unsure I became. All I kept meeting were Pokémon and people who communicated with one another and helped one another. That was why I needed to confirm my beliefs by battling with you." He says, outright, that he kept seeing things that proved him wrong and then decided that he didn't give a shit. He wanted to confirm his belief that he was in the right and that Trainers are all abusive. He didn't want to actually VERIFY that this was true, just confirm it. Real flat-earther behaviour, tbh.

This also means that the plot kind of falls apart in one version, because he's factually wrong but he can still obtain the dragon of Truth anyway? Weird narrative choice. Anyways onto my next point.

"N isn't in a cage" IS ACCUMULA TOWN IN A CAGE? IS NACRENE? IS NIMBASA? HE IS OUT IN THE WORLD AND IS ABLE TO SPEAK TO PEOPLE OF HIS OWN VOLITION. HE CAN GO FROM ONE SIDE OF THE COUNTRY TO THE OTHER. THIS IS THE LITERAL OPPOSITE OF WHAT A CAGE MEANS.

And as for the "misunderstanding" part, you're just reinforcing my point. He knew he didn't understand Pokemon that liked humans, but he kept talking as if he did anyway. He kept talking big about things he knew he didn't understand and then got pissed off when you told him he was wrong. He admits he was full of shit. He didn't understand Pokemon at all.

Wow, I can't believe some of the old message boards for Pokemon gen 5, especially for the characters. It's full of people saying stuff like: "All the characters are so awful. N is a preachy hypocritical little neckbeard just like everyone else in Team Plasma, the guy just watched Death note once and thinks he is so edgy", like, you're free to not like gen five or the characters, but these comments just seem like they come from people who haven't played the game in ages and are going off incredibly fuzzy memories, or did the whole story of being raised by wild animals and then being taken in and lied to, manipulated by a cult to be groomed into a puppet leader and the inherent pain and complications that come with it just completely go over their heads?

nineteen, then. honestly, that just makes it worse.

N is not locked in a cage. he is allowed to go outside and presumably he talks to Pokemon who don't belong to team plasma. he talks to your Pokemon who says "Yeah! I trust them! They're nice to me!" his next action is to decide that you are the outlier and therefore an exception to the rule, therefore he's allowed to continue assuming all Pokemon are abused in spite of the overwhelming evidence that he's completely wrong. (this is mentioned in the epilogue btw, where literally everyone told him he was wrong and he did all that shit anyway) he then goes on to say that even though you and your Pokemon obviously love each other, he eventually plans on seperating the two of you because his dreams and ideologies are more important than yours.

the game ends and he doesn't even apologise for putting you through the wringer. his big character arc literally ends with him saying "The only thing I understood was Pokemon-- No... Actually, I never understood them either." he admits he was full of shit. he admits that the entire time, he was saving provably stupid nonsense.

the backhalf of the game outright has him claiming to be a "Hero" and declaring that he will "change the world without force", only to then turn around and admit that he needs to use force to enact the policies he wants to put in place, like a hypocrite. he consistently puts his own wants and desires over those who he deems wrong and then treats them like dirt because they don't fit into his narrow viewpoint of the world. whenever you agree with N, he sounds sad he has to fight you. whenever you disagree, however, he stops giving a shit and declares that he has to "crush your will".

people think he's edgy because despite his supposed obsession with heroism and saving everyone, it's ultimately just a 1% more benevolent version of what ghestis wants - to seperate people from pokemon and enforce the seperation through overwhelming force. the endgame of his plan is to take a legendary pokemon and use it as a tool, despite his endgame supposedly being to end such things. the fact that he presumably doesn't see anything wrong with this until you beat him for the final time is very telling.

i would tell him to go read a fucking book so he knows how irredeemably stupid his plan is, but i genuinely doubt he knows how to read.
