Thankfully SuMo's plot will be free of genocidal dipshits trying to destroy reality, since Team Skull are just punks and the Aether foundation's goal is to take care of battered Pokeymans.

...right? :ohdear:

I like seeing how Pokemon Generations reimagines all of the locations.

Looking forward to the Old Chateau episode with Cheryl. :ghost:

They dropped gyms, it's possible they'll drop the "Team Idiots cause apocalypse" shtick.

It could happen, but the Aether foundation being legitimate would be a bigger plot twist than them being an antagonist.

Guzma will arrive to the scene holding a pile of Zygarde cells with a bunch more bursting out of his pockets in order to power up Zygarde to 100% and take down the Super Mega Ultra Beast the Aether Foundation made.

What I've realized from Generations is that Johto is the region of boring rear end stories and monologues.

Nah. DPP's story revolves around a cult leader wanting to create an entire dimension for himself by using literal gods banished by the creator of the universe.

6 is the best of the four bad plots because a non-beautiful world does deserve to be purged and a giant laser under stonehenge powered by a big bad bird is the way to do it

Guzma doesn't need to unleash a nuclear war, because he already drops bombs when he gets on the mic.

At least with Blue and Silver arc I think we're gonna get a rival story and a world story with each update now so next time get ready for Wally and Probably Steven and Wallace shenanigans.

Gen 5's stuff will probably N's childhood and a fun time hour with Cheren and Bianca.

I'm psyched for my guy Barry in like a month.

Giovanni left to cry in a waterfall and then got beat by children again and subsequently ran away a second time. He is a big ol' loser and will never again return.

The best kind of story is no story at all. So by that fact, Gen I is the best, because it's the closest to having no story.

I wouldn't mind less Generation 1 nostalgia, to be honest. It's been getting turned up a lot ever since Generation 5.

But anyway, seeing Giovanni again wouldn't be terrible.

Turns out that Guzma's iconic quote was taking out of context, he was talking to his dad, Giovanni.

the dialogue in these generations shorts can be pretty amazing

looker: giovani disappeared 3 years ago. when did you last see him?
silver: 3 years ago
looker: 3 years ago!?

and then looker realizes that the pokemon trainer standing outside of the pokemon league wants to challenge the pokemon league. you're a very good detective, looker

I wonder if Looker is going to keep showing up. I also wonder if any female protagonists are going to appear.

Since it seems to be three episodes per region, I doubt we're going to see Kris given that was the last Johto episode. :smith:
