Château de Pierrefonds

The Château de Pierrefonds is situated in the scenic city of Pierrefonds. It was built in the late fourteenth century by Duke Louis d'Orléans. The original château was in ruins for over two centuries, but today's castle was built in the 19th century when Emperor Napoleon III decided to reconstruct it and use it as his imperial residence. The château features eight towers decorated with sculptures of eight dignified knights and kings, all heroes of the ancient and Middle Ages. The courtyard is composed of various architectural styles, mostly medieval and Renaissance. The château has frequently been used as a location for filming and television series such as Wizards of Waverly Palace. The castle is without a doubt one of the most beautiful castles in the vicinity of Paris.

(Emperor Louis Napoleon Bonaparte – Image Credit Palace of Versailles) The geopolitical tsunami of the French Revolution left behind the wreckage of “the ancien regime”. No permanent return to the old absolutism was possible, despite all attempts to turn back the clock. Originally, the victorious coalition of Europe’s continental Great Powers, plus Britain, aimed to confine France and restrain…

US Civil War: how Europe aided the Confederacy

How Europe helped the Confederacy during the American Civil War while professing its abhorrence of slavery is an interesting tale of hypocrisy and mendacity in equal measure.

In 1861, seven southern pro-slavery states broke away to form the Confederate States of America. The result was a bloody Civil War that ended with the victory of the Union – the northern anti-slavery states – under President Abraham Lincoln. One of the reasons that the Confederacy was able to hold out so long against the economically stronger north was support that it received from Europe. But…

Napoléon III (1808-73), Emperor of the French

Artist: Charles-Édouard Boutibonne (French, 1816–1897)

Date: 1856

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Royal Collection Trust, United Kingdom

Description

The Emperor is wearing the uniform of a General of a division of the French army, with the ribbon and star of the Legion of Honour and badges of the Legion of Honour and the Médaille Militaire. In the distance is a view of Paris. Changes have been made to the position of the neck and hind legs of the horse. Napoleon III was the nephew of Napoleon I and was brought up in exile, coming to power in December 1848 as President of the Second Republic. In 1852 he was proclaimed Emperor, and after a disastrous defeat in the Franco-Prussian war, followed by a period of imprisonment, he joined his family in England. Queen Victoria wrote of him in a letter ‘That he is a very extraordinary man, with great qualities there can be no doubt – I might almost say a mysterious man… with a power of fascination, the effect of which upon all those who become more intimately acquainted with him is most sensibly felt’.

So, multiple sources have reported to the French newspaper Le Monde the president Macron telling them that he had been planning the chaos going on rn for months, that he is delighted to see French politics crumble. Most people already knew he was well aware of wtf he was doing, but having the confirmation is something else. (especially the reveal that it's just because if his ego)

This is, imo, high treason. A president is supposed to serve and protect the country and its people, that's not what he has done. He is putting France in great risk just to please his own ego. Like a captain who knows it's his last voyage and prefers to take the ship down than to let another in charge. If he leaves the boat, than it better sinks. He planned to put France and its politics on fire, then to watch it burn. He destroyed our rights and our country, and it was all just a power trip to bring the country down.

Good things for us, things are not going as bad as he hoped it would (he thought the left would not be able to stand together), but it doesn't change the fact that he has helped the far-right rise in the country because he wants to watch it burn.

So much for Legends Celebi or B3W3, lmao.

But for real, before anyone starts theorizing about ultimate weapons or ancient wars in Pokémon Legends ZA, there are a few important things to consider first:

1. The game will be set entirely in Lumiose City.

A bit disappointing, though Lumiose is already a big place, and it’ll only be bigger now that it’s the central focus. A smaller scope will also probably mean a higher-quality product in the end, too. Though it does makes me wonder how catching wild Pokémon will work within an urban city. Maybe the game will be more battle-focused, as opposed to the catching-focused Legends Arceus.

2. The game will (almost certainly) not be about the events of 3,000 years ago.

If it wasn’t already obvious by the limited setting, Legends ZA will most likely have little to do with the events of the ancient war and ultimate weapon. If it’s anything like Legends Arceus, Legends ZA will instead be set in a period based on the latter half of the 19th century, soon after the invention of Poké Balls. Anything set before this period would predate the invention of Poké Balls, and thus have to have drastic changes to its gameplay, which is something I just don’t see happening.

And we know that Legends Arceus is set during the mid-to-late 1800s because of the events it is based on, i.e. the Japanese annexation of Hokkaido in 1869, as well as the subsequent colonization efforts.

Similarly, we can guess that Legends ZA will be set during this same period because of the event it is seemingly based on, Georges-Eugène Haussmann’s renovation of Paris from 1850 to 1870.

For those unaware, Haussmann’s renovation was an urban renewal project, commissioned by Emperor Napoleon III, that included the demolition of old medieval neighborhoods, the annexation of surrounding suburbs, the construction of new sewers, etc. The renovation was extremely unpopular, what with the whole bulldozing thousands of houses and replacing them with standardized streets and buildings thing, resulting in Haussmann’s dismissal in 1870. However, work on his plans continued until 1927, and ultimately are what made Paris what it is today.

While Legends ZA likely won’t go too far into the nitty-gritty of the real-world events, knowing what the game will be drawing from is essential for any speculation on what we can expect to see.

In fact, using this same method, we can probably even guess what future Legends games will be like by looking for historical events during the mid-to-late 1800s period. Take Unova, for example, which could…

Oh.

Oh no.
