You know how you hc that the twins battle each other all the time, and thus are basically their hardest opponents? That post you made about Ingo's brutal Path of Solitude made me desperately want Ingo and Emmet challenging each other to various versions, sometimes with Ingo having the upperhand like in the game, sometimes with Emmet making Ingo use a wurmple against a staraptor. And sometimes, for fun, they even make it a double battle. They make the most buff pokemon in existence and everyone is sufficiently terrified

they so would frfrfr. wait this reminds me i had two sort of mutually exclusive path of solitude points i wanted to make in the same post i'm just gonna do it here hang on

1) ingo was really like, here's a new style of battle challenge i'm introducing that's literally not done anywhere else even in the future, i invented it myself. the challenge is you have one single pokemon and you have to face a very difficult opponent and you're not allowed any other help than what you go in with and you're all alone forever. this is based on absolutely nothing at all and was inspired by nothing. i am fine.

2) path of solitude is really like turbo single battles honestly like of course the guy who is The Single Battles One came up with this. what do you think emmet would have done if he was here instead. would he be like ok pick a pokemon and i'm giving you an entirely random partner. no planning beforehand gotta figure it out when you open the pokeball and we start the battle. dwi.

#the nemesis speaks #the nemesis answers #anonymous #pla analysis #i do have Feelings about path of solitude though if i think abt it too much #like i said it in that first point but i said it goofy but i do really mean it.#even the name is kind of insane. Path of Solitude. cmon.#he got the chance to make up a battle challenge and he said let's make it about being alone by yourself with nobody around to help #but also. i think it is also partially about him dialing up the unique single battle challenge up to 11 #since he does see singles as a unique challenge. like the default battle style is multis. obvi. his preference for singles is like a choice #he likes the difficulty of negotiating a potentially very adverse battle situation with only the limited toolset of a single partner #and path of solitude is that But More #like i said kind of mutually exclusive but i mean them both simultaneously ok.#anyway. yeah.#ACTUALLY can you imagine ingo introducing emmet to the concept and he describes it and emmet's like yeah this seems fun #like it's a big investment in misc pokemon opponents but it's a cool challenge #so like what strength level were you thinking-#and ingo's like oh idk maybe like 80 #and emmet's like okay. hm. maybe we dial it back just a tiiiiny bit
