595 - Absol Plays Pokémon Legends Arceus: A Movie

Great Pokemon game

[@Kaflurgle]

one detail i love about dialga and palkia’s origin forms are that they are “made in the false image” of arceus, and lose what made them their own entity. dialga’s throat is obscured - losing its roar of time, and palkia loses its arms - making it unable to use spacial rend

[@endergirl2577]

I can't believe I didn't think of that, this makes me love their new forms even more!

[@legobeylov7470]

Umm but it can use those moves in the origin form lol

[@komarunaegi7460]

But they can still use those moves in their Origin form…

[@Kaflurgle]

@@komarunaegi7460 yeah but their power/accuracy get penalized

[@Kaflurgle]

i didn’t mean that their signature moves were limited to their normal forms, it was more of a “here’s a unique design choice”

[@iluvchess14736]

No joke, I used that timezone thing to try and see where he lived, and I spent way too long looking at timezone maps and concluded Texas. Then he showed an image of Rowlett, which is IN TEXAS So that was a waste of time

I'm always glad when I see someone else recognise Ingo and Emmet. Unfortunately he made me cry violent tears the first time I played his section. He's been one of my favorite characters for ages along with Emmet... And the more you think about the implications of their relationship being affected by what happens to him, the more it hurts.

[@Chiffawndue]

Ngl, I genuinely thought Cyllene, being an ancestor of Cyrus, would been the bad guy. Or have something negative to do with the plot. No, she's literally so wholesome. How did the apple fall so far from the tree?

[@cryptrekt3899]

I already predicted that Cyrus ancestors were good and Cynthia's are bad

[@diode_wow]

I mean they mostly just gender swapped and made good guy bad, bad guy good in the entire game.

[@browserjunior4707]

According to an NPC in Route 228, apparently it’s due to Cyrus not getting the actual love and care he should’ve gotten growing up. His grandfather said it was partially his own fault for not helping Cyrus, so Cyllene can be seen as what Cyrus could’ve been if he had a happy home life. Which honestly makes a little bit more sense when you realize that his parents probably did love him but since the family doesn’t show emotion well it probably lead to miscommunication (though since his grandfather admits to not being there when Cyrus needed him I think the opposite is more likely to be true).

[@komarunaegi7460]

@@browserjunior4707 You got everything right except your assumption that Cyrus’s parents did love him, but just has trouble showing it. That’s not true at all. There’s an old couple in Sunyshore that says his parents crushed him under the weight of his expectations. No matter how good a student he was, he could never live up to them, so he was never given any affection or love growing up. So he ended up becoming a recluse and preferring the company of machines over people-continuing to study and develop skills well past his years. His only friend was a Rotom that happened to possess one of his toy robots, that he played with for some time until it suddenly disappeared from his life not long after. Cyrus left behind a journal with entries about his time with it in Platinum. His grandfather on Route 228 was aware of the neglect and abuse Cyrus has gone through. His regret comes from wishing he could’ve taken him in and given him the love he so desperately needed. The reason Cyrus came to the conclusion that human emotions are the cause of all suffering is because of his own bad experiences and warped upbringing, and his studies with the underdeveloped emotions that he had caused him the genuinely beliefs the only reason conflict exists is because of emotions holding us back and making his lash out or think irrationally. It’s why he ends up trying to suppress his own. He’s a pretty tragic character. Sure, he tried to recreate the universe, but Volo tried doing the same thing and his only motivation was because he was too curious and too desperate for knowledge for his own good.

[@browserjunior4707]

@@komarunaegi7460 I know that’s why I said that even if it was a possible theory that’s why I don’t think it’s true and that the story of “his parents didn’t give him the love he needed” is more or less the right telling of events. I only introduced a theory not a fact and acknowledged that it’s likely to not have any ground aside from speculation.

I know someone that does much more and has been talking about the gen 4 lore for like 7 years, exposing things such as the plate inscriptions that this fandom has been fully clueless about for 16 years. He gives an explanation to everything in the Pokemon lore, he publishes his entire blind run + a stream run with another famous online gamer while also commissioning an original OST and intro for it, meaning he paid for the animation and asked a famous OST-composer to make it for him. I really have absolute 0 respect for the Pokemon fandom cause it's just pure autism, but Cydonia is a legend and someone truly able to appreciate the genius behind these and any game

[@ashopal5811]

1:40:45 yoooo legends Kalos would be WILD. Don't know if they'd ever do it bc being in a literal war seems a bit much for Pokemon (idk I haven't played pokemon conquest which I'd assume is the closest they've gotten to it? What's the plot of that one?) But might be an amazing idea for a fan project.

[@veronikamajerova4564]

Or Johto - since timetravel is basically Celebis whole stick. And we have plenty to explore here - the burning of Tin Tower and creation of legendary beasts (which could solve the mystery of who were those "nameless pokemon"), the connection of people of Blackthorn city with dragon pokemon, the rainbow/silver wing and clear bell, etc.

[@wozaow]

As someone who’s played Conquest- Somebody is trying to forcefully take over a region, so you do the exact same thing against him. And then catch god. So, yeah, it’s just war. (I think it’s a collaboration with a series that’s very similar to Fire Emblem, so sorta like that.)

[@ElysetheEevee]

@@wozaow I had Conquest years ago when it came out, and like it again, but to be honest I just liked the artwork and didn't follow, nor remember, the story haha.

@@wozaow Yes Pokemon Conq. is a Crossover between "Nobunagas Ambition" and Pokemon. c: But given little in the West actually knows that Series xD

[@poop.9654]

@@Kairos_Akuma ive played alot of conquest interestingly they had a cool easter egg where in some of the challenge modes rarely a cave would open up in one of your kingdoms containing a legendary, did this contribute to anything? no.. you cant even transfer it and it gets erased on your next challenge mode (the game expects you to play each challenge) but it was a mad cool easter egg that you could sometimes end of a challenge with like a heatran instead of the usual set up, also the main villain (i think his name is nobunaga? (i beat the main story ages ago) has some pretty cool stuff, for one he doesnt really control the region with a iron fist rather he wants to own it from the shadows, heck most of the kingdoms are A ok with him as there owner and most of there cultures are completely unaltered the problem lies in the fact that all of the facilities and such in each kingdom are set to level 1 before you arrive witch is a cool way to show how he isnt funding them properly, and as a final note though this is probably the most well known part of conquest, nobunagas ace pokemon is a shiny rayquaza with your ace at the end of the story being arcues sorry if that was a long message i just love conquest and i very rarely get to discuss it online

It's been many months since it was released and it still doesn't feel quite real. Thank you Lord Arceus of Cellphones
