Archie and Maxie are both dumb, but one of them looked at all of the Tentacool and Wingull random encounters and decided he wanted ten times as many.

Magma's plan would at least solve overpopulation. Sure, it would be hot as hell and probably third-world conditions, but it doesn't actively kill anybody.

Aqua's plan drowns everybody. I don't understand where they got confused during the process.

how would magma's plan not kill anyone

like, let's just ignore the whole volcano thing for a sec. even ignoring that killing everyone on the volcano itself and the town at the bottom, how would they not have killed anything else

Their motives were even dumber. All Team Aqua wanted to do was to increase the size of the oceans and stuff. When Hoenn already had like a ton of water in it.

7.8/10, not enough water.

All alternate formes stand right next to the original, you gotta get a rotom + all variations of rotoms, like you'd do with the entirety of the Unowns.

They apparently failed to consider the idea of much smaller bodies of water that are kinda important to humanity drying up faster than the entire ocean as well.

No, you can put anything into Pokemon Bank in January. You just can't take a Sun/Moon pokemon back into XY/ORAS. XY/ORAS pokemon have that france-symbol or whatever so I can only assume Sun/Moon will have a Hawaii symbol to clearly denote "cannot be transferred to previous gens".

You won't be able to use any of the megas for battlespot at the start though.

I figure that they're somewhat necessary when seeing it on a 240p tiny 3DS screen, but yeah, no outlines makes it look gorgeous. I hope Crazy Diamond and Pearl Jam on the Switch look like this.

What I gathered from the video was that Archie had a sort of Tyler Durden thing going on.
That is, he was trying to reset society by having Kyogre take it out, and force everyone to return to the Pokemon equivalent of Hunter-Gatherer societies.

I mean, it was still a horribly stupid and short-sighted plan destined for failure, but I think that was his goal.

I don't care what they change people's motivations to now, og aqua's goal was just to expand the oceans because they like water pokemon and don't think things through

my favorite dumb moment in gen 3 will always be when they try to set off a volcano by throwing some rocket fuel into the mouth. what was their plan after that, even if it worked? die?

my favorite thing about that is that both teams think it's a good idea to do, and neither of them are right about what would happen

Team Aqua and Team Magma are dumb as Hell, but they're still cool. At the very least they have good costumes, which is more than what you can say about team Flare.

I know I goofed on him a lot earlier, but I hope Archie isn't dead in Generations. He seemed so happy to find the death orca. :ohdear:

Given that he survives the games, maybe Kyogre just reenacted the book of Jonah on him and Team Aqua.
