playing favorites

[kuruk22]

I've been thinking long and hard about it, and after much consideration and careful rumination, I'd have to say that my favorite character from Pokémon's Generation V is Bianca.

I would bombard you with pictures of Bianca being her lovable self, but I don't have very many. I need to remedy this.

Oddly enough, I was sure that I wouldn't like Bianca

And seeing how the Team Plasma looks like a rather old/traditionalist organisation from their behaviors, could it be that Ghetsis obtained it instead of founding it? Something like King Arthur and the Sword in the Stone and Caliburn perhaps, Ghetsis found a holy item of theirs and they declared him their chosen leader. If it was true, then oh boy the ego boost and the ensuing reality check. Imagine this, a young man (for he must be younger at that time) getting his hands on a real army. Not a toy army, a real one. It will make him go insane with power, unless he's a saint or an idiot. Of course he'd decide "since I just got an army... Next step, world domination!" He wouldn't do anything to lose that army (telling them that he wanted to rule the world for selfish reasons will make them abandon him for sure), so he made another person the puppet-king and he just hid behind and everything was good.

About the Gray being the medium of Black and White thing, I find it to be a western view. In the yin yang concept there is no room for gray. Because when you break it down, grey is but a mix of black and white, not a pure "substance". But there is Mu, the nothingness.

Ngh, my really long comment was lost in an error. It was the only time I didn't save a temporary copy on the clipboard and it was gone. I'm not going to re-type everything, just write a summary on each paragraph.

I was saying how even though 'Pokemon Gray' is copyrighted it feels weird to shove a western concept into an eastern one, but we'll have to wait.

I tried to say that I'm glad that for once my rivals (Cheren and Bianca) do not have tragic past and chronic issues.

There was a really long paragraph here that I don't remember what it was about.

Here I was nitpicking on how you said Silver changed thanks to the protagonist, but I thought while he/she did take part it was multifactorial and the main catalyst was Lance, not the main character as in battles with the protag Silver was denying, but when he saw Lance he really started to ask himself if love wasn't the true way to go after all. It was probably because Lance, being a Champion and all, was strong and thus got Silver's attention (remember how he was stalking Lance at one point) and maybe because he's so strong and had red hair Silver saw him as a surrogate parent. And maybe Lance was Silver's real father

Then I agreed with the Johto OT3 and commented on how Hibiki and Lyra were so emotionally close they were like twins without being biologically related and how a menage-a-trois would be like between two persons but one person with one body and the other with two heterogendered bodies.

Here was my opinion on Hibiki mustn't have the same personality as Gold as PokeSpe flips their personalities all the time (chatty Green become cold and speak little, the near-mute Red very noisy, Silver no longer has the arrogant sociopathic phase, somewhat proper Haruka becomes a wild child in Sapphire, etc.)

And here was how I remembered the names of the Hoenn trio. Haruka can be read as spring flower, Yuuki sounds like snow (winter) and Mitsuru can be growing vines, invoking summer. At the same time Haruka can mean far away, Yuuki means brave and Mitsuru is beautiful crane (the waterfowl). So it could be season themed or travel themed (The Courageous Beautiful Bird flies Far Away/The courage to fly [far] away.)

I'm going to sleep now. So frustrating today.
