What played in my mind while playing dlc epilogue

I couldn't take any of it seriously with the freaking Chicken Dance playing in my head XD
Also, why do they look like they need to go to the restroom really badly while they're dancing?

[@YourLocalIdiot2000]

I like how everyone thought that Kieran was possessed but it was everyone other than him.

[@galactic_cupcake8744]

Kieran caused the curse, its all his fault and not us getting a Pecha Berry. How dare Kieran cause this by not being at fault for our mistakes!

[@darkmodeenjoyer3367]

​@@galactic_cupcake8744 "the fault lies with you kieran"

[@KatPlayz1023]

IKR LIKE DAYUM

[@TheJezterGuy]

Notice how the riddler said he would be possessed. He is just a liar and this proves it lmao

[@TheNewRobotMaster]

People didn't want to believe that Kieran was just a crybaby try hard. Occam's razor though

[@ctv186]

If the possessed people ended up doing something else other than the chicken dance, this DLC would have just turned into a straight-up horror film.

[@thatonecubchoo1541]

This is already terrifying.

[@onepieceking1770]

​@@thatonecubchoo1541true on both sides

[@dracodracarys2339]

what if they danced Thriller instead

[@CalamityMW]

the chicken dance scared the living shit out of me

[@massgunner4152]

If i saw a mob of people walking towards me while screaming mochi like a zombie horde i would run to my house to avoid shitting my pants.

[@xXpandypopXx]

The thing NO ONE has noticed, is when you first battle Kieran in the dlc, one of your classmates is already doing this dance when you win/lose

[@shadowolfkiller9337]

I was waiting for someone to point that out

[@floralDilemma]

I noticed that too, i literally said to myself "why's he doing the chicken dance??"

[@taputurquoise]

[@Snowstorm...]

Maybe an odd epilogue but an absolutely hilarious Mythical event, loved every second of it

[@Sailor11Sedna]

Yeah, as great as it would have been to have more lore, I love that they took the tropes of a zombie apocalypse and made it hilarious.

[@blindside75]

I genuinely love how the best the *S U B J U G A T I O N* Pokemon could think of was to force everyone to do the chicken dance at all times

[@TheNewRobotMaster]

He enjoys their smooth moves. If you could perfectly control people, you might make them do some odd things too

[@madnessarcade7447]

It’s because it’s a coward that’s the point

[@dracos0024]

​@@madnessarcade7447That "coward" killed Ogerpon's trainer. More likely it just wanted to start small and subjugate all of Kitakami to build a small army.

[@shadowslime3640]

​@dracos0024 thing is it was actually the loyal three that took him out. He caught them stealing the masks and, I shit you not, HE WAS ABOUT TO FIST FIGHT THEM.

[@baxterbruce9827]

This is actually true, according to the extra story movie (That was released separately for... Some reason... Just find a way to put it in the game) At the very least, the Loyal Three didn't intend to get in any fights, it WAS intended to be stealthy And then all hell broke loose when they were caught

[@TheRealMaruki]

Penny and Arven walking towards you and Kieran were lowkey intimidating.

[@varonman7283]

Same energy as when you get menaced by T-Posing people

[@Naito115]

...how did you get Intimidated by the Chicken Dance?

[@ExoticPotato1172]

@@Naito115it was probably like the kind of weird intimidated feeling that you feel when someone walks towards you while t-posing, where it’s not full on scary, but just kind of intimidating in a weird way.

[@random_gamer1987]

Or she had difference influence by his mochi. There is an old theory that all nurse joys are an advenced versions of chansey. Maybe it affected her differently then on humans

[@Ojtheghosttrainer]

When I first saw Carmine dancing, I had to leave my switch for, like, two minutes to calm down after seeing this. This is probably one of the greatest things Gamefreak has ever come out with

[@NotSoNormalSquirtle]

[@PuffyGeminiVictini]

Game Freak Got Bored *SO THEY DID THIS BEAUTIFUL THING*

[@autumn_sunday]

I love how absolutely pissed Arven is about this. He's so embarrassed, but can't move his body, so he just subconsciously tries so hard to stop. Penny, on the other hand... 🐥

[@tailsfan10]

This entire epilogue was the embodiment of beautiful goofiness now that you have met all of your friends. Kinda like the Alola games, but it's way more chaotic. This is just a little thing to go silly about after the story was so tense and serious 😂

[@PkmnTrainerEmerald]

Nurse joy being unaffected was hilarious lol!

[@The-Determined-Ninja]

The Nurse just never gets attacked ┐(‘～`;)┌

Someone was PAID to animate that into the games. What the actual heck? It caught me off guard. I was just so confused.

[@jedi_cat_l4976]

I am never going to get over the fact that when Pecharunt attempts to mochi the player and Kieran, the player does a cool matrix doge, meanwhile Kieran gets his head bonked.

[@mousetoons22]

Just ripped the horror vibe of the event right out of it

[@JigglyPuff_JesusChristLovesYou]

Sometimes you just have to lean into the goofiness😂

[@BaconNuke]

If they didn't dance and scream "mochi mochi" it would probably actually scare a few kids and other squeamish people.. like based off lore for Pecharunt imagine all we see is pretty much just a zombie horde bringing their valuables to it with no other movement just right to the point and they are just stealing and shit

THANK YOU. I'm so glad I wasn't the only person to make that connection. On a personal note, my granny's two favorite dances are the chicken dance and the hokey pokey because "Those are the only dances I can still do, and they aren't super complicated with any fancy moves."
