Eh, screw that, let's destroy a city instead! -Colress: Some people think Google Chrome is better, however, I DISAGREE! -Lysandre: I am a Dorito with a fashion sense! If you don't look like us, you've committed a serious fashion crime! -Guzma: No one can beat ME at a rap battle! -Lusamine: You wanna live fancy? Live in a big mansion? Party in Kalos? Oh, then you'd better work work! -Lusamine (Ultra Beast form): I'm blue, da ba dee, da ba die! PS, I hate my ex and my devil spawn that I call children!.

[@finalshade8592]

I've always wondered why most Evil Team leaders only have around 5 Pokemon and not the max of 6, but now I realize most of them were probably planning on using a Legendary to fill that slot. Most notably Cyrus and Lusamine. But what about the leaders who don't really care about legendaries like Guzma and Archer? I can excuse Giovanni because technically he owns Mewtwo, but Archer has 3 Pokemon and two of them are from the same line. Guzma literally only has two in your first encounter with him, which is pathetic for an Evil Team leader. My guess for these two is that they're too poor to afford enough Poké balls to catch more Pokémon but, the average trainer hands out more than enough to buy one, and Guzma/Archie are definitely above average trainers.

black/white and black 2/white 2 have the best villains, themes, battles, and stories surrounding the villains by a mile

[@josemanuelmendiola1468]

I dont think that so... I like white and black 2 but the first? That really borry me Ah and I prefer the alola's themes, but the in teselia there was also good themes. But its only mi point of view

[@CreationCopilot]

AGREED. BW2 is my favourite Pokemon game.

Finally, someone with a good opinion. Gen 5 is best.

Dude, Archie and Maxie in RSE used only a regular potion

[@patricksusulin9335]

I like that there where so many times that team rocket tired to recruit the protagonist. They know what a threat is when they see one. Not like those other team bosses who kept under estimating you saying your just a kid.

1:53:45 It would’ve been cool of she would have 6 pokemon and that the last that she would send out would be herself... But nonetheless, this battle was epic. Yet it was too easy, sadly.

[@QueenofSilence101]

Was _really_ easy in my Moon playthrough. My team in that game was dark/ghost type, and I KO'd all of her Pokémon with 1-3 hits.

[@lilligant4368]

She couldn't have though because the sixth slot was Nihilego

[@abbybayer9815]

Her team actually reflects her personality a lot. Most of her Pokemon are very feminine or girly, but still powerful. And her Bewear? It represents the fact that she was a loving mother, since Bewear is basically a reflection of the "Mother Bear" idea.

[@LiterallyJustScarfy]

@@lilligant4368 and she would fall down meanwhile nihilego fights

[@pokegamer1216]

I like how during Colress' theme there's a series of beeps that they make reference to later in Gen 7 when you run into him he's always typing on his arm and the beeps are the exact same. Also gotta love Gen 5's critical health music. Ruins any battle theme when it happens

[@PhantomCitadel]

Yeah they should have just made the battle theme speed up, or done nothing at all

[@dagr3173]

the critical health music was a rude interruption, but was a pretty cool thing anyway

[@octaviomaldonado3333]

I wish they added more screen time to the rocket admins in HGSS, Including in old gen 2, And made. EVERYTHING Overleveled instead of just a level 30 magmar.

Mimikyu's Disguise Ability makes it immune to Pain Split apparently.

[@panama1131]

I feel like if Pokemon wasn't at its core a kids game, Ghetsis would probably be the villain boss most likely to actually try to kill you. His mental state and dialogue after the fight in Black/White 2 just makes me think the only thing keeping him from snapping and coming at you himself if the fact that these games are rated E.
